:E Of CZAR
ilf’TBERECEIVED
Vladimir No^ .Wanted at the
Court of England’s
Rulers.
By RICHARD ABERCORN.

Service.)
London, Sept. 8.—Before ehe left
' England to visit her daughter, Queen
Maud at tiorway. Queen Alexandra Is
ia id to have made King Edward give
her the promise t!)at he would Inform
Grand- Duke Vladimir of Russia, uncle
0 f the csar, that Jhtl presence In this
country during his term of tanlsh-
mfn t from Russia Is not wanted, and
should he come to London he would
not be received at the .English court.
In spite of his fear of his uncle, the
crar a couple of weeks ago Issued a
decree banishing Vladimir from Rus
sia for one year because of his scan
dalous behavior, which defies all dfe-
1 scrlptlon.
for many months the grand duke,
who has always been the black sheep
of the Imperial family, has been In a
state of permanent Intoxication, but
nothing was done to restrain him until
he. during one of his spasms, forced his
way Into the osar's private apartments
at Peterhof and threatened to knock
Nicholas’ head oft because the csar
had refused to make Admiral Alexleff,
the man who was responsible for the
Russo-Japanese war, minister of ma
rine In the Stotypln cabinet.
When General Trepoff, commander of
the palace, tried to stop him he was
thrown violently to the floor by a blow
from the fist of the furious grand duke,
who has the strength of a giant. It
took the combined strength of ten of
ficers and soldiers to overpower the
drunken man and carry him off to a
cell, where he spent the night.
Though the csar ordered every one
to keep the affair secret, the czarina
heard of It, and she forced her hus
band to banish his uncle. Vladimir
then announced his Intention of spend
ing next winter In London, supposedly
tn study the workings of the British
parliament, but really because he Is
afraid to go to France, which la full
of Russian refugees, any one of whom
would gladly sacrifice his own life to
rid the world of Vladimir, whom they
consider responsible for the czar’s fail
ure to grant a constitution to Rus
sia.
Now that also England Is closed to
this dissipated and blood-thirsty mon
ster, he can do nothing better than
ask the hospitality of Leopold of Bel
gium. who might take pity on him and
receive him as guest at Laeken.
Hopes are entertained that the treas
ure ship of the Spanish Armada, which
has lain for centuries at the bottom
of Tobermory bay. will soon be located
and Its cargo of gold and silver re
covered.
The latest scientific methods have
been used In a search which has ex
tended over centuries. Sand pumping
and modern diving bells and other In
genious contrivances, of which the ear
lier searchers knew nothing, are being
employed, and by their aid the faecl-
natlng Spanish; doubloons will once
more see the light of the day.
The treasure ship Florenela was 961
tons and earrled 52 guns. One of the
quaint traditions still current as to the
sinking of the ship In the smooth
waters of Tobermory attributes the dis
aster lo the work of the witches from
the neighboring Island of Mull.
These, the story runs, -appeared on
the spars of the vessel In the form of
black cats and brought on the gale
which sunk her.
Aside from the traditions, It has defi
nitely been determined that the Floren
ce is actually at the bottom of ths
bay. The Argyll family began the first
search for the treasure about a century
after the visit of the Armada, but since
that time various attempts have been
made and brass cannon, one of eleven
feet In length and of most elaborate
workmanship^ with engraving-attribut
ed to the great Benebenutn Cellini,
money chesta and stray doubloons have
been found.
While King Edward Is fond of wine
this preference Is old champagne), none
a( the ladles of the royal household
ever drink wine. Queen Alexandra
never touches wine, at the state din
ners she attends, drinking nothing but
her favorite mineral water at meals.
The late Queen Victoria reared all her
daughters and granddaughters as pro
hibitionists. Queen Victoria of 8paln
doesn’t know the taste of wine or beer,
her favorite tipple being orangeade.
Her mother, Princess Henry of Batten-
berg, is also a teetotaller, and when
she suffers from rheumatism, as she
frequently does, she detests to drink

Tim Murphy, quaint, eccentric, lov
able In the part of Jason Green, as he
has been In all the character! he has
portrayed, appeared at the Grand Fri
day night In "Old Inflocence," sup
ported by perhaps the beet company
with which he has ever surrounded
himself. The performance was fln-
lahed, even brilliant, and the play one
of the moat delightful ever presented
by Mr. Murphy.
Tim Murphy Is essentially a South
ern player. He Is of the South by
birth and Training, he chose his wife,
who has for several seasons been his
leading woman, from Tennessee, and
it has been hi* habit to surround hlm-
aelf with Southern men and women
when practicable. He has not the
prestige of a two-hundred-ntght run on
Broadway: he does not bear the hall-
mark of the Frohmans dr any-of the
great managers, but fh the year* he
has visited the cities of the South he
has won an Increasing host of friends
who And In him those same elements
which made the name of Sol Smith
Russell known, wherever there is n
stage. His portrayal of elderly, eccen
tric characters Is delicious. They are
oil lovable old men—Tim Murphy could
not pity a villain If he would—and
Jason Green Is one of the moet lovable
of them all.
Miss Dorothy Sherrod, the leading
woman, Is given but slight opportunity
ns the wife of "Old Innocence," but
she Is as acceptable aa she has always
been, and her gowns made the women
In the nudlense draw a deep breath.
Mies Louise Whitfield, the Ingenue, Is
so attractive that many a man envied
the stage lover In some of their scenes.
James Cooper, as the hard-hearted
brother, gave a splendid Impersonation
of a difficult role and fairly divided
the honors with Mr. Murphy. John
Arthur’s conception of hla role, the
neglected ton, was not a pleasing one,
but his acting was thoroughly artistic.
The entire company gave a finished
performance, unmarred by any false
note. The engagement continues Sat
urday afternoon and night.

James McIntyre, of the old team of
McIntyre and Heath, now appearing
as Joint stars In "The Ham Tree,"
learned the other day that he had fall
en heir to a targe fortune. - Mr Mc
Intyre explains that several years ago
when he was In Australia with the
Georgia Minstrels, since elaborated In-
’The Ham Tree,” he was able to
render a very substantial service to an
ney. Australia, and a New York ad
dress written over It in Ink. The ac
tor ordered the man shown In and the
visitor approached him with profuse
expressions of congratulation. McIn
tyre Inquired with surprise what It all
meant. He has been married for a
number of years and the’ felicities
could not have been extended to him
as a benedict. The visitor explained
that the congratulations were due to
Mr. McIntyre's having Inherited a
large amount from a certain rich In
dividual In Australia. j
■As the actor was In a hurry to,go
on, he pinned the man's card to his
dressing table, requesting him to call
again and at the same time promising
to visit the Australian the next day at
his hotel. McIntyre says that when
he returned both the card and the vis
itor were gone and he has not been
able to locate him since. The story
of the old man's death has been veri
fied. He passed away In a home for
the old and Infirm at Sydney. The

The president of the league Is a
young lady named Mile. Marguerite

and who, assisted by a few friends,
founded It. Their Idea le not to trou
hie tpe legislature or the authorities,
but to endeavor to Influence public
opinion, and first of all, to Interest the
modistes In the movement. One point
gained Is Ihe fact that all who have
heard about the matter seem to be
surprised that hats can be made so at
tractive without birds' feathers.

Back to the tall timbers for "The
Jungle” and Mr. Sinclair.
Once upon a time an unsuspecting
public imagined they had read a book
filled with lurid aftacks upon the awful
trusts—thought they had seen some
crookedness exposed. 6tr. Upton Sin
clair even made money out of their so
thinking. Congress got busy on the
same account.
Now they have discovered It was all
a mistake. "The Jungle" Is a very
quiet, conservative and lady-llke story.

He knows that If the pulpits of the
country were to open up on his com
mercial crimes he would be In the pen
itentiary. I wrote my book, ‘The Strug
gle,' for the avowed purpose of placing
John D. Rockefeller In the peniten
tiary."—Tapp.
The man who put John D. Rockefel
ler In the penitentiary—In a novel
la a lawyer of Atlanta, Ga.
He Is likewise the man who exposed
Tom Taggart’s gambling Joint In
French Lick Springs, resulting In the
E rosecutlon of the chairman of the
lemocratlc national committee. The
Georgia author says he expects his
book to revolutionise American sen
timent to such an extent that the
Standard Oil magnate will get In reali
ty what hla counterpart In Ihe novel
got—not less than 20 years.
The pictures drawn In Tapp's novel
are so sharp and clear that they are
easily recognized. For Instance, John
Suckelow, with neither hair nor eye
brows and able to eat only crackers
and milk, and one of the greatest com
mercial pirates the world has ever seen,
haa been Identified by the critics as
John D.

the villainy was perpetrated, haa been
recognised as a very good picture of
the headquarters of J. Plerpont Mor

Armour has a double In Ihe book, and
It la said that the people of North
Carolina have identified one of the
characters ns John B. Duke, the tobac
co trust man.
It la also said that the people nf
Georgia have recognized a similarity
between John Horton, of the novel, «nJ
Hamilton McWhorter, the "Bill Phelps''
of the Southern railway. The novel
has created a sensation throughout the
South.
It Is a terrible arraignment of the
trusts anil trust masters, whose com
mercial tyranny Is depicted with great
force by the author of the novel.
The hook Is called "The .Struggle,"
anil It starts out by picturing the beau
tiful home of a Blue Grass farmer
surrounded by the happiness that
should be Ills under normal commer
cial conditions. Then the story
shows the results of "trustlsm," and
with fine strokes of sarcasm draws
characters that are readily recognised
as the heads of several of the country's
greatest combinations of capital.
The author Is making no verification
nr denial of Identifications. It Is said
lhat a man who thinks he Is the origi
nal of one of the characters In the
book has threatened to prosecute ths
author. It would be a back-handed
stroke of fate If a book written for the
avowed purpose of sending the trust
magnates to the penitentiary should
land Its author In Jail.

dealing with the industrial and com
mercial conditions of onr times,” ssld
Tapp. “I wrote It to show up the
Infamy of the trust magnates, and to

TON F. JACKSON, ATLANTA
Reports of miracles are not wanting
again this year from Lourdes. One of
the most pathetic of them le the case
of a girl of 18 who suffered from heart
disease and had been given up for
dead, who, on the host suddenly pass
ing, sat up on her stretcher and Jumped
to the floor.
There are 40,000 stricken pilgrims
now at Lourdes, engaged In prayer and
suppllcntlon, and the scenes of excite
ment—almost frensy—and anguish are
very remarkable.
The question of the weekly day of
rest now become law In Paris, Is ex
citing many classes of society. The
law makes no mention of domestic ser
vants. hut this body has now started
an agitation to be given the same priv
ileges as people engaged In shops and
factories.
Another privilege that domestic ser
vants are clamoring for—those of the
innle persuasion—Is the privilege to
wear moustaches. The rest law Is also
agitating the body where one would
least expect lo find It. The policemen,
who hare hitherto had one day off In
ten, now- claim that they, too, should
be brought In line with the law, and
given a day of rest weekly.
Manager Nat F. Jackson, of the
Fidelity Mutual Lite's Atlanta office,
lays claim to having written during
the past week for his company the
largest single premium life Insurance
policy, ever taken In the South. The
application wae secured by 51r. Arllne,
of Savannah, who recently became'Mr.
Jackson's partner tn the management,
nnd the amount of the policy Is >50.000.
The Insured Is a well-known financier
of Savannah, and In payment of the
premium he gave his check for the
lump sum of M6.M2. No further pay
ments will have to be made on the
policy.
A life Insurance policy of an equal
umount was also written this week In
Atlanta by Manager John 8. Cowles, of
the Metropolitan Life, who, until early
this year, wae executive special agent
of the Mutual Life, and who, since go
ing with the Metropolitan, has reor
ganised the Atlanta force until It Is
the strongest office that company
boasts In,the South. The policy men
tioned was on ths life of a business
man of large Interests, who took tpp
policy aa a special protection to his
creditors, a practice that Is now meet
ing with great favor all over the coun
try. The annual premium on this pol
icy la >3,100. Mr. Cowles has steadily
held first place as regards business
written personally among nil the ngems
of the company In the United States
and Canada, which, considering thnt
the company has nearly one million
workers, Is a striking tribute to the
quality of men that are attracted tq
Atlanta ns a business center.

A variety of Insurance of which
property owners know ordinarily very

attention. Is rent Insurance. This form
