London. Oct. 2*2.—Social life in Lon
don is not 7orv exciting at the present
moment. Nearly everybody of note is
away visiting or entertaining at country
Louses.
Tlie Pri)'- j of Y. T ales came to London
during tin week ami announced that lie
intended t > visit Newmarket next week
for Ibe racing. Hut apparently he re
ceived a hint that he is in mourning, on
account of the death of his mother-in-
law, Queen Iyjui.se of Denmark, so a
•tatemenr was sent to the jjaporsdeny
ing that the priuce^as going to New
market.
A report from the United States to
the effect that President McKinley
Would invite the Prince of Wales to
Yisit tho United States has attracted
• attention. While the papers cordially
;iudorse tho suggestion of a royal visit
to America, as tending to further ce
ment tho good feeliug between the two
countries, it is thought improbable that
the Prince of Wales will go. But
an evening newspaper points out that
the Duke of York has given a half
promise to go to Canada next year, and
it adds thar there is uothiug impossible
tn the Idea that if' President McKinley
follows the example of President Bu
chanan, tho Duke of York will follow
In the footsteps of his father and extend
Lis visit to the United States.
Tho banquet which the city of Lon
don is to g.vo to General Lord Kitch
ener of Khurtonm on Nov. 4 will be the
most brilliant affair of its kind in this
generation. The Marquis of Salisbury,
several cabinet ministers, Sir William
Vernon Harcourt, the Liberal leader in
the house of commons, all tho field
marshals and all the civic dignitaries
Will be present. The premier will speak
in honor of the sirdar, and momentous
declarations may be expected.
After Kllocls of (lie War.
That the after effects of war aro more
terrible than tho actual lighting is
•hown iu ihe. euso of tho Grenadier
guards, wlu» recently returned from the
Soudan. Almost n third of their num-
ler aro oil the sick list. Change of cli
mate was partly instrumental in bring
ing about i heir illness, but a majority
of the men are down with dysentery,
caused by drinking the Nile water.
There aro 200 of the guards in tho hos
pital and several of the cases aro serious.
There is much speculation in political
circles at Yieuna. according to advices
just received from there, as to whether
Emperor Francis Joseph will marry
again. The possibility of obtaining a
son to preserve tho lino of direct succes
sion, it is tiionght, may indn«*e him to
overcome his own personal inclinations.
Tho present heir apparent. Archduke
Francis Ferdinand, son of tho late Arch
duke Charles Louis second brother of
the present emperor, is not a strong
man, and it is feared he will not suc
ceed in governing the unruly Austrian
empire, and the marriage of Emperor
Francis Jot eph to a certain youthful
princess is already mooted.
“I have had enough, and after riding
the Prince of Wales’ horse in the Cam
bridgeshire, I shall clear out of the
country.”
Considerable amusement has boon
caused by the answer which Mr. Joseph
Chamberlain, tho secretary of state for
tho colonies, made to tho reporters’ re
quest for interviews at Liverpool on his
return from the United States. Mr.
Chamberlain declined to talk, saying:
“Not on this side. I grant interviews
©nly on the other side.”
Eager to Please the Kaiser.
The zeal of the Sultan of Turkoy to
renovaco every town and village in
raiestiue through which Emperor Wil
liam of Germany passes has resulted in
every holy place being vandalized. The
historical house of Simon the Tanner,
where Saint Peter lived, has boen
painted bright blue and its floors have
been laid with colored tiles. Besides
this, tho building has been enclosed by
a gaudy fence, while a Hujwrb iron
screen, over a dome of rock, dating
back to the days of the crusaders, has
been coated with yellow paint.
The followers of Tod Sloan received a
severe check at Sandowne, whore, on
Thursday, with Sloan riding tho favor
ite in live races, he only succeeded in
getting a dead beat iu one. The check
has come noue too soou for Sloan,
whose head has been completely tamed
by success. The American jockey is ex
tremely diasatisfied with one or two of
the decisions against him. and on Thura-
4av L after racing, ho said:
,j Held t*p.
Miss Greener—And so you were in
tho train that was held up by robbers!
Wasn’t yon just frightened to death?
Miss Whiting—You’ll hardly believi
it, but I wasn’t frightened a bit. Th«
fact ie, when they came into tho car
and ordered us to hold np our bonds, 1
thought it was going to te a lecture on
palmistry, and I didn’t find out differ
ent until it was all over.—Boston Tran
script.
‘J Frenchmen Fund of Ilrrad.
European nations vary very greatly
In their consumption of bread. Tilt
greatest flour tutor in the world is tilt
Frenchman, who consnmts nearly two
pounds a day, or 705 pounds a year.
This enormous quantity, compared with
the seeming niggardly 55 pounds a
year eaten by tho Scandinavian, marki
the influence of climatic conditions on
food.—St. Loni* Post-Dispatch.

E. M. Gratis, an architect, was shot and
instantly killed in this city by John G.
Chaffin, a contractor. The tragedy
grew out of a quarrel over the erection
of a building. Urube attempted to use
a small piece of scantling on Uhaffin,
when tho latter shot him. The coro-
■er’s jury makae it a wilful homicide.
ENGLAND PREPARES
TO WAGE BATTLE
All Her Seagoing War Vessels
Ordered Fully Manned.
NAVAL MEN IN READINESS
First Hostile Step Taken by Great
Britain Since Dispute With France
Over Faslioda Assumed Considerable
Gravity Some Time Ago.
London, Oct. 21.—Tho British admi
ralty has ordered every seagoing war
ship to hive its crew made up to the
full complement, us ordered in case of
mobilization.
Tho order of tho British admiralty
practically means the complete telling
off prospectively of every ship’s com
pany in detail. Four torpedo boat de
stroyers which were about to bo fitted
with new water tube boilers have had
their oidors countermanded and have
been instructed to reduce their-store:
Officers on leave of absence or unetn
plo>c«l have been notified to hold them-
solves in readiness to commission tho
reserve ships if required.
The excitement over tho Fashoda
question led an Irishman this morning
to smash with ail umbrella a window of
the ofllce of Punch, on Fleet street,
where was displayed a cartoon depict
ing John Bull threatening a French or
gan grinder who does not dejjart when
ordered to do so. The Irishman shouted
vivo la Franco” as ho broke the win
dow and was arrested. When asked if
he was a Frenchman, the prisoner said
No, I'm an Irishman. Had I been
a Frenchman I would have blown down
the place.”
The British cabinet has been snm
moiled to meet early next week for tho
purpose of discussing tho Fushoda ques
tion. It i* understood that the govern
meat projjoses to take steps neiressary to
insist upon an early and definite state
ment on the subject from Franco.
DEFICIT GREATLY REDUCED.
State Treasurer Ellis Makes Public
His Annual Report.
MontoomkiiV, Ala., Oct. 22.—State
Treasurer Ellis has made public his an
uual report lor the uscal year eudint
Sept. JO.
When Governor Johnston went into
lice on Due. 1, t »vo years ago, he re
quested tho legislature to appoiut a com
mittee for the purpose of thoroughly
esiigating the condition of tho treas
ury and to announce its condition on
Jan. 1, I-si>7.
This committee reported tho treasury
deficiency to Ikj $5110,000. The state au
ditor shortly afterwards made a careful
examination of the state’s linaiicfc 1 con
dition auii reported that on Jan. 1 tho
deficit was near $000,000.
Tile report just made public by State
Treasurer Ellis shows the deticioucy on
Sept. U0 to Km« $251, Too 00.
The now ta* assessment law and a
ore rigid enforcement of the laws in
tended to reuulate the handling of tho
state's money by public oflicers ar
uiaiulv responsible for tho tremendous
reduction of the delicieney within a
year and three-quarters.
POISONED WATER IS FATAL.
Four I*, rsons Succumb After Drink
ing From »i Missouri Well.
Joplin, Mo., Oct. 22.—Four persons
have died from the effects of drinking
water from a poisoned well near Aq-
rora. Several weeks ago a daughter of
John Black, a prominent Barry county
farmer, was taken ill and hor ea>o was
pronounced typhoid fever. Other mem-
jers of tiie family hecuuie ill and after
lingering a few days died.
Sirs. Black, a son and two daughters
succumb'd to ih,\ mysterious ailment,
and John Black and another daughter
are now seriously ill. Physicians aro
convinced that the trouble is not ty
phoid fever, hut that the well from
which this futuily obtained their water
poisoned, but how and by whom it
has been poisoned is a mystery.

Hard Sense
It takes keen common sense,
added to superior judgment and
experience, to be superintendent of
a railroad. Such a man never re
commends any thing that he has not
himself subjected to crucial test.
A prominent railroad superintend
ent, living at Savannah, Ga., in
which city lie was born, says he
feels better than he ever did, and
he had the worst ca3e of dyspepsia
on record. He had no appetite, and
the little he ate disagreed with him,
causing him to vomit often. He
had pains in the head, breast Qr * a
stomach, but after using three bot
tles of P. I*. P. he felt like a new
man.* He says that he feels that he
could live forever if he could always
get P. P. P. His name will be given
on application to Lippmun Brothers,
proprietors of this great remedy.
Dyspepsia in all its forms is promptly
and permanently eared by P. P. P. General
Debility and la .k of energy give place to vim and ambition through
the use of P. P. P. Blood Poison and nP its incidental and hereditary
ills are eradicated by P. P. P. Itheinna—-m is conquered and banished
by P. P. F., as are also Catarrh and Malaria. P. P. P. is a purely vege
table compound, which has steadily grown in favor for years.
