Royal Exlles
BY FREDERICK J. HASkiN

WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec IL
Charles of Hapsburg may we'll thank
the kindly fate that handed him a nice
semi-tropical island on which to be ex-
lied. Napoleon on the lonely rock OF
st. Helena, and the Kaiser still in his
Dutch castle might well think that
Charles has unusual luck to be dis
patched to sunny Madeira.
Compared with Napoleon's life on
81. Helena, especially, the exile of ex-
Emperor Charles seems and easy e1-
lstence. The remarkably healthy and
even climate of Madeira attracts so
many visitors that it is now a well es-
tablished winter resort. In the city
of Funchal, his new home, Charles will
find plenty of company and amuse-
ment, if he cares to mingle with his
neighbors. He goes about freely, at
tended by one plain clothes man. In
fact, he is practically allowed to live
the life of any gentleman of leisure in
FunchaI.
Napoleon, on the other hand. was
treated at all times as a military prls-
oner He might not receive company
without a pass from the governor of
st. Helena. He might not receive or
send uncensored letters.
The men who decided on the terms
of his exile decreed that:
1T must be signified to the General
that If he make any attempt to fly,
he will be put into close confinement,
and 1t must be notified to his attend
ants that, if it should be found that
they are plotting to prepare the Gen
erals flight, they shall be separated
from him and likewise be under close
confinement.
II there are strangers in the island
whose residence in the country shall

instrumental in the flight of General
Bonaparte, he (the AdmiraD must
take measures to watch over the arriv-
al and departure of every ship and TO
prevent all communication with the

ed, though he grew steadily stouter
from want of exercise.
Pains of Exile
Napoleon was made to feel his con.
dition as prisoner even by the way
in which he was addressed. II was
not permitted to refer to him as the
former Emperor Or to call him Napole
on. He was at all times General
Buonaparte." Charles of Hapsburg
may style himself ex-emperor as much
as he likes. No one grudges him that
These two exiles, Of course, are en-
tirely different characters. Napole
on's influence and triumphs had beer
so great that his captOrs never felt
absolutely safe from his possible re
turn to power. Charles is a much less
dangerous prisoner. So, even though

Three important notifications of its
rules were approved yesterday by the
underwriters committee OF the Fire In
surance Exchange. These changes are
a direct result OF the Lockwood Com
mittee's Investigation OF the fire insur-
ance companies and their method of
operating practical monopoly.
Exchange of reinsurance is to be per-
mitted between companies which are
members of the Exchange and those not

The monopolistic rule is broken down
to the extent of opening the way for
mutual companies becoming members of
the Exchange. Those corporations have
been excluded from the New York mar
ket for years by the strict discipline Of
the Exchange, which practically pro-
hibited their doing business here.
The third amendment adopted in
structs the brokerage committee OF the
Exchange hereafter not to exact from
companies who are members the old
pledge that they will not do business
with firms which are not members.
Section sd of the rules providing the
penalty for violation of the pledge is
nullified. These amendments are to
stand until the Legislature convenes
and has had an opportunity to modify
the existing brokers' license law OF the
State.

HER DIAMOND RING
IN HOTEL DRAIN PIPE
Vanderbilt Guest Still Seek
ing the Other.

Mrs. c. C. Coddington of Charlotte,
n. c., put her two diamond rings In a
glass of cleansing solution last Monday
night in the Hotel Vanderbilt and put
the glass on the dressing table near the
washstand. Halt an hour later when
she went to take them from the solution
the glass was still on the table, but the
solution and the diamonds were gone.
Mrs. Coddington reported the loss to
the h.ctel authorities. and the chief en-
gineer, John +. Keegan, after a talk
with an investigator of the insurance
underwriters. came to the conclusion
they had been thrown down the drain
pipe. that some one had emptied the
glass of solution into the sink without
noticing the diamonds.
Mr.. Keegan put force of men to
work and cleared the pipes from the
Coddington room on the sixteenth floor
to the basement. where he opened trap
leading into a large sewer main under
the sidewalk. One of the rings. valued
at $4,500. was found there. but the other
has not yet been located. Other traps
and pipes will be opened to-day, and
Mr. Keegan believes the remaining ring
will be found.

ALIMONY FOR PEGGY
is $3.50 A MONTH
Miss Hopkins's Demand for
500, 900 Counsel Fees Is Cut
Down to S27,500.

Special Despatch to THE New YORK HEnALp.
CHICAGO, July S.-Peggy Hopkins Joyce
will receive s27.5oo for solicitors fees,
$4,000 for other legal expenses and
$3.50 a month temporary alimony from
her husband. James Stanley Joyce,
wealthy lumberman. The award was
made to-day by Judge Joseph B. SABBATH.
before whom the divorce bill of Joyce
and his wife's counter suit for separate
maintenance will be tried.
Peggy had asked for 100000 for at
torneys fees and $4,000 a month tenn
porary alimony. Her request was based
upon his statements during their honey
moon, according to her suit, that he was
worth s40.000.000. In his testimony on
the stand he said his total assets were
not more than s2.0O0.000.
Peggy got the award, although Attor-
ney Alfred Austrian. representing Joyce
asked permission to file an appeal from
the decision. This was granted and a
bill Of exceptions will be filed within
forty days. Joyce will give bond of
$4,000 to insure the payments and then
the case will be taken to the Appellate
Court.
Because of the gravity of the charges.
the ability and high standing of counsel
representing the complainant, the allow
ance for solicitors fees and snit money"
reads the opinion, should be such as
would enable her to retain counsel OF
exceptional ability, such. indeed, as she
has already retained.
Moreover. charges are made against
her which involve investigation in many
of the countries Of Europe. as well as in
many States of the Union. Because of
the serions nature of the charges she
ought to have every reasonable means
to properly prepare to meet them"
Judge SABBATH said that IL 1t should
develop subsequently that actual and
necessary expenditures were more than
the s12,0 900 allowed for taking deposit
tions and hiring detectives and investi-
gators. he would entertain further mo-
tons.
