London, Sept. 19.—Various rumors are current regarding the unsatisfacto ry state of Princess Victoria’s health, and all the circumstances seem to In dicate that the trouble la mental. It Is reported that the king’s eldest daugh ter may soon retire from the social world altogether. King Alf. nso, when In England last month, recommended San Sebastian as reeort which would benbflt her health; but since the princess has been ordered a complete rest and San Sebastian la the Spanish Newport, the Idea was given up. The prtneess’ visit to Norway for her sister's coronation hod a bad effect upon her, the excite- rffent having somewhat unsettled her. Princess Victoria's retirement—tem porary, at least—from court will, there fore, take placo Immediately, to save her from possible complications. . The royal.family of Britain Is likely to very shortly be relieved of a con stant source of Irritation. The brother of the famous John Brown, who was so long the close attendant of the late Queen Victoria In Scotland, Is dying of cancer. The point of this announce ment, which has not yet been publish ed In any way In England, Is that King Edward, furious at the stories which were, and still are, circulated along Deeslde concerning John Brown, turn ed John's surviving brother off the es- j^in majesty was determined to get rid, as far as possible, of all that serv ed to continually remind him when In Scotland of the late John Brown. But when the king turned tho brother off the Balmoral estato he promptly took up his residence In a houso on the other side of the road on the Invercauld es tate barely a quarter of a mile from Balmoral Castle. When King Edward saw on John Brown’s tombstone the Inscription, ••Here lies a true and faithful servant of Queen Victoria," he flew Into a vio lent rage. His anger was nonetheless poignant when he saw that there was no way of removing this odious memo rial to that extremely common person, J °The^Balrnoral people and the Inhabi tants of the whole district along Dee slde ore. complaining bl«erl> of the and close economy. The other day he wanted some small toy which would have cost next to nothing In the actual money, but w hich was looked upon by the Princess of Wales (who can look very, very severe when she likes) as a quite unnecessary expense. She told the future King of England that hi could not have It. For a time he refused to take "no" for an answer. At last her royal highness sharply told him not to bother her so much. "What would people think to see you worrying like that?" demanded the princess. Prince Eddie had no answer, but look ed with almost as cloudy a countenance as his mother, which as a rule Is say ing a good deal. But his next brother rose to the oc casion, tho little prince looked up Into the face of tho Princess of Wales and said: "Why, they will think he takes after his mother." king's tailor, has been giving In ervlcw, some details of tne Ward- The an Interview, robe of Edward VII. His majesty wears about a hundred pairs of trous ers In a year, and pays from $10.60 to $19 a pair for them.

Twelve or fifteen frock coats, and fifteen overooats are included In the king's yearly- renewal of his wardrobe. The king has at least one hundred na val and military uniforms, which rep resent a large sum In vslue, but apart from the cost of these his tailoring bill amounts to from 96,000 to $8,000 an nually.

Cortachy Castle, the ancestral home of the earls of Alrlle, Is haunted by a spectral drummer: boy, who beats a ghostly tattoo when an Ogllvle Is about to die. In life the drummer was a mes senger sent to a former earl by an of ficer against whom he had a grudge. The wicked earl had the boy killed and his body thrown out of tho window In side his own drum. The last time the fatal drum was hoard was at the time of the Boer war, when a lady guest, who knew nothing about the legend, told at the dinner table how she heard mysterious music accompanied by a drum. Shortly afterwards came the news that the Earl of Arlle Imd been killed at the engagement of Diamond Hill, while leading his regiment of lan cers In a charge. The gallant earl was lady Kitty’s father and her brother, who Is only 19, Is the present holder of the title. HUNDRED DELEQATE8 ATTEND THE REUNION. Special to The Georgian. Anniston, Ala.. Sept. 19—With over 100 enthusiastic delegates In attendance and with the strains of "Dixie" played by the orchestra, the annual reunion of the Calhoun county Confederate sol diers was opened at the court house yesterday afternoon. The threatening weather kept the attendance down somewhat, but what was lacking In numbers was amply made up In enthu slasm shown during the meeting. After giving tho "rebel yell with a vim. Judge J. T. Greene called the men to order and Rev. W. P. Howell offered prayer. E. H. Hanna, of the local corps, then gave a short address of welcome, followed by an able re sponse by Judge A. F.

(Coprigbt, 1908, by Hearst Newa Ser- • vice.) Paris, Sept. 19.—Paris Is becoming Infested with American beggars. Ac cording to Mr. Hanan, secretary ot the American Relief Society, there are more this year than ever before. The American consul general, Mr. Mason, says It Is due to the growing erase to see Europe. "The fool books published In America, telling how to live on 1600 a year In Europe," said Mr. Mason, "are partly responsible for the present distress, and as the government makes no finan cial provision to meet the cases of dsstltutlon ths consuls all over Europe are paying out their own good money. "The price of living In Paris has in creased 60 per cent since 1900, and -Americans fall to realise that It Is as expensive to live In Europe as It fa in America. "Money Is not paid only to the poor. Only last week the son of a wealthy and Influential New York gentleman had gone through his allowance, and to. keep him from starving In the streets I loaned him 160 francs. Some of the worst cases aro dis sipated young men who have gotten out of touch with their rich fathers, and who spend tbelr month's allow ance the first week after It arrives. "Another class composes a gang of American beggars who hang around outside the consulate to extract a dol lar at a time from sympathetic Amer icans. 8ome of these frauds appear to do good business. "The erase to see Europe has brought about some curious consequences. Re cently a man from Texas, named Boughton, came over with his wife to try his fortune. Wearing a pair of stilts under long trousers and n cowboy's sombrero hat, he quickly cre ated a sensation In England and made some IS a day. Doming to Paris, ac cording to the story told by the Amer ican Relief Society, the police told him to 'cut It out,' as such things are per missible only during carnivals, and the poor fellow nearly starved until the society sent him back to London. "Since the first of the year the Amer ican Relief Society has had nearly 260 new cases of destitution, not Including the chronic l>eggars. Last year the so- clety sent about forty home to the United States and twenty-five to Lon don, where the American understands the language.” "The more we send home, however," said an officer of the society, "the more come the next year. This year breaks all records. Begging Is vastly on tho Increase. "To show to what extent some will go to see Paris, I recall the recent case of a man who hid among some boxes and succeeded In getting here as a stowaway. " ‘Didn't you fear being detected and imprisoned?' this strenuous fellow was asked. “ 'Why I never thought of It until now,' he said. 3 plga, a monkey, a serpent, 3 calves, 630 birds and 9,030 pounds of butchers' meat. - When one considers that many peo ple frequent the bathing establish ments In the river, and that In the dry periods the river water la turned Into the pipes which supply drinking water to the population. It Is enough to give one the permanent shudders. A statistician has just published note relative to the length of time women pass during their lives In the contemplation of their own Images In the glass. 'Up to the age of six years the aver age female child scarcely ever looka at Itself In the glass. From six to ten years of age little girls spend an aver age of seven minutes a day looking at themselves In the mirror. Between ten and fifteen years the time spent before the gloss Is about 16 minutes dally/ From that time until she Is twenty she looks at herself in the glass for about 20 minutes, and between the age of twenty and thirty half an hour Is spent by the average woman dally In front of her mirror. Dr. Cornelius Is the iiresldent of a German league for the prevention of sea-sickness.

SWIM FOR LIFE FROMJRECKAGE Only One Man Known to Have Been Killed in River. This man with Initiative came to grief and wan one of the many that had to he sent home." Suicides In quartets seem to be pop ular In Paris Just now. A few days ago three men and a woman jumped off the bridges Into the Seine and were drowfled within a short while of each other. Not long after, In another quar ter of the town, four people Bought death by Jumping from windows. Last week four people were found dead from self-inflicted bullet wounds in the pub lic parks. The curious part of these suicides Is that the dead persona are In no way related to each other, and evi dently have had no Intimation of each other'a Intentions. The department of waterworks for Paris have just sent In their report for 1905. This shows, among other things, the number of dead bodies Ashed out of the Seine during the year. They comprise 100 human bodies, 2,110 dogs. 900 rats, 2,169 rats, 660 hens, 39 ducks, 215 rabbits, 12 sheep, 30 horses, 46 pigs.

Rus sell on the Anal -day, thus placing the former candidate for governor squarely In the race without his knowledge or consent. Judge Russell had atnted some time ago that he would not be a candidate, but some friend took the matter In hand and made him a candidate whether or not. It Is understood that Judge Rus sell has received letters from nil parts of the state urging him to enter the contest. Senator Charles S. Reid, of Palmetto, who was Indorsed for one of the Judge- ships by his eolleagues In the senate and a large number of the house mem bers. announces that he will not be a candidate. Sixteen have entered the lists for the three Judgeships. Many named probabilities dropped out at the wind up. The candidates who have paid their assessments are: Thomas J. Chappell, Frederick C.
