OUR LONDON NEWS
Queen Emma of Holland, who
has been governing the Netherlands
in behalf^ first of £aH f of her de¬
mented husband, and, since his
death, of her little daughter, with
such remarkable sagacity and suc¬
cess, has developed oi late a ten¬
dency which has caused much as
tonisbment to the people among
whom her lot is cast.
The Dutch are proverbially si¬
lent and evfen taciturn, and .Queen
Emma was generally believed to
share to a remarkable degree this
quality—a quality particularly mer¬
itorious in a person of her sex. In
one word, she seemed to share not
only the national tendency to em¬
bonpoint, but also its stolidity and
extreme moderation of speech.
Suddenly she underwent a change.
This was about three months ago,
and since then she appears to have
developed # a perfect craze for
speechmaking. People talk of
‘’the spouting German emperor”
as a phenomenon in that respect,
but the regent of Holland seems
bent on running him very close,
and on the slightest provocation
she delivers addresses that are not
only well turned, but also spirited
and marked by an astonishing
amount of vivacity.
She speechifies at luncheon, and
she speechifies at dinner ; she de¬
livers addresses to deputations and
she endeavor^ to stir up the patriot¬
ism of the military by rousing ap¬
peals to their ^ense of what is due
to their country and to their queen.
In fact, there is no end to the num
her of her public utterances, and
the worthy Hollanders arc still rub¬
bing their eyes in sheer astonish¬
ment at this altogether unaccount¬
able fever of eloquence on the part
of their hitherto so cautious arid re
ticent queen regent.
For my part I am glad of it. It
has hitherto always seemed to me
that there was something or other
licking about'this otherwise esti¬
mable young widow. 1 now real¬
ize what it? was—namely, the ex¬
cessive brevity of Ipecch. \\ ho
ever heard cf a silent woman?
.
Why, even stammering is almost
unknown among females sex.
I for one, at any rate, cannot
recollect ever having met any la¬
dy who was afflicted with an im¬
pediment # of speech.
It is' notable, by the way, that
three of the most successful and
popular rulers in Europe at the
present moment are women:
Queen Christina of Spain, Queen
Victoria and Quyen Emma of the
Netherlands.
Jt seems to be but the other day
that I saw, on speech day at Har
row, Queen Margurite of Italy’s
brother, the young duke of Genoa !
among the boys. Yet to-day I
hear of his son, Prince Ferdinand,
a fine, healthy lad of io, being en¬
rolled in the Italian navy, King
Hubert having decided that the lad
should follow the same profession
as his father. The duke of Genoa
is very popular in Italy, and es
pecially among naval men, being
exceedingly genial and unaffected,
without the slightest trace of hau
teur or arrogance. He now holds
the rank of admiral, lives most of
a ;
the year at Venice, where he is offi
cially stationed, and is married to
Isabella of Bavaria, daugh
ter of the late Prince Aldeliert and
of the crazy Princess Amelia, sis
ter of King Francis of Spain.
Poor Prince “Lulu” who, bom
heir to the throne of Napoleon
met with so much misfortune
throughout his brief life and then
perished in such a miserable man¬
ner in tbe wilds of South Africa,
seem* to be pursued by ill fate even
. After death. According to the la
test advices received from Natal,
it appears that the memorial cross
of granite and marble which Queen
Victoria erected to mark the spot
’•-‘-ere he lost his life has been sto¬
re and that no ©Jew has been dis

ing about three tons are not the
kind of loot generally sought by
robbers and are certainly too un
wieldly to be carried off "in tbe or¬
dinary burglar’s bag.
After a very adventurous and
agitated life t he dowager and duch¬
ess of Newcastle, formerly the
most worldly of the worldly, has
developed an enthusiasm for re¬
ligion and is apparently endeavor¬
ing to atone for a long life of mor¬
al deficiencies by devoting herself
to good works. Abandoning her
beautiful Parisian mansion in the
Rue Miromesnil and her London
house in the most fashionable part
o^jVIayfair, ^he has now taken a
house east of Tower Hill, near the
Roman Catholic church of the En¬
glish Martyrs, and has arranged to
make it her'permanent home, ex¬
pressing toe conviction that by so
doing she will he better able to
carry on her work of soc'al and re¬
ligious regeneration in the slums
of Whitechapel. The duchess has
never been the same woman since
she lost her second husband, the
popular professional singer, Tom
Hohjer, two or three years ago.
Sir Arthur Sullivan; the popu¬
lar composer, although well known
as a man about town in London,
has nevpr until now manifested any
taste for the turf. This is a pas¬
sion which has coins to him com¬
paratively late in life. It is all
due to the last St. Leger. Acting
on the advice of a friend, he ven¬
tured £35 on Throstle at the start
ing price of 40 to 1.
As Throstle was a mere outside^
and Ladas the winner of the Der¬
by, was in the race, Sir Arthur
never dreamed for one mo¬
ment that he would even get a
place. He was unmercifully chaff¬
ed by his friends and advised to
hedge, which he attempted in vain
to do, and thereupo 1 lost all fur¬
ther interest in the r ice, regarding
his bet as money thrown away.
He did not even take the trouble to
watch the finish, and was there¬
fore agreeably surprised when, a
few minutes afte'rward, the people
who had been chaffing him over¬
whelmed him with congratulations
and compliments of his selection of
the winner. For Throstle had
come in first, and to his pleased
astonishment the composer found
himself the winner of nearly .^5,000,
Sir Arthur declares that this is a
much more rapid, agreeable and
easy way of earning money than
by writing operas, oratorios, or
even ballads, and proposes to take
henceforth an active and not alto¬
gether platonic interest in turf mat¬
ters.
He has made his way since he
was an unknown organist of St.
Peter’s church, in the by no means
fashionable district of Onslow
square. He lost his position there
owning to his having scandalised
the congregation by promenading
in the park on Sunday after ser¬
vice with Cornelie d’Ankai, a su¬
perb and striking blonde of statu¬
esque proportions, being over 6 feet
high. As Sir Arthur is exceeding¬
ly short, not to say stunjed and
dumpy, the contrast was startling
and attracted much attention.

When they reached the ring the
horse started on a gallop around
the outer edge, and kept this up
for a minute or two. Finally a
