Service.)
London, Sept. 8.—Before *he left
England to vlalt her daughter, Queen
jj au ,i of Norway, Queen Alexandra la
iaht io have made King Edward give
her the promlae that he would Inform
Gram! Duke Vladimir of Ruaala, uncle
0 j the czar, that ht» presence in this
country during hla term of Lunlah-
tnent from Ruaala la not wanted, and
•hould he come to London he would
not be received at the English court.
In spite of hla fear of hla uncle, the
'czar a couple of weeks ago Issued a
decree banishing Vladimir from Rus
sia for one year because of hla scan
dalous behavior, which defles all de
scription.
For many months the grand duke,
who has always been the black sheep
n f the Imperial family, has been In a
slate of permanent Intoxication, but
nothing was done to restrain hftn until
he during one of hla spasms, forced hla
way Into the czar's private apartments
at Peterhof and threatened to knock
Nicholas' head oft because the' czar
had refused to make Admiral AlexlefT,
the roan who was responsible for the
Russo-jnpanese war, minister of ma
rine In the Stolypln cabinet..
When General Trepoff, commander of
the palace, tried to stop him he was
thrown violently to the floor by a blow
from the list 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 ntnn and carry him off to a
cell, where he spent the night.
Though the czar ordered every one
to keep the afTalr 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
to study the workings of the British
parliament, but really because he is
afraid to go to France, which Is full
of Russian refugees, any one of whom
would gladly sacrifice nls own life to
rid the world of Vladimir, whom they
consider responsible for the czar's fail
ure to grnnt 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 fasci
nating Spanish doubloons will once
more see the light of the day.
The treasure ship Florencla was 961
tons and carried 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 to 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 ha* defi
nitely been determined that the Floren
ce Is actually at the bottom of the
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 Benebenuto Cellini,
money chests and stray doubloons have
been found.
While King Edward Is fond of wine
(nls preference Is old champagne), none
nf the ladles of the royal household
ever drink wine. Queen Alexandra
never louche* wine at the state din
ners she attends, drinking nothing but

Tim Murphy, quaint, eccentric, lov<
able in the part of Jasqn Green, as he
has been In all the characters he has
portrayed, appeared at the Grand Frt
day night In "Old Innocence,'* sup
ported by perhaps the best company
with which he has ever surrounded
himself. The ^performance was fin
ished, even brilliant, and the play one
of the most delightful ever presented
by Mr. Murphy.
Tim Murphy is essentially a South
ern player. He Is pt the South by
birth and training, he chose his wife,
who has for several seasons been his
eadlng woman, from Tennessee, and
it has been his habit to surround him-
self 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 or any of the
great managers, but In the years he
has visited the cities of the South he
has won an Increasing host of friends
who find In him those same elements
which made the name of Sol Smith
Russell known wherever there Is a
stage. His portrayal of elderly, eccen
tric characters Is delicious. They are
all lovable old men—Tim Murphy could
not play a villain if he would—and
Jason Green Is one of the most lovable
of them all.
Miss Dorothy Sherrod, the leading
woman. Is given but slight opportunity
as the wife of "Old' Innocence,” but
she Is as acceptable as she has always
been, and her gowns made the women
In the audience draw a deep breath.
Miss Louise Whitfield, the Ingenue, Is
so attractive that many a man envied
the stage lover In some of their scene*.
James Cooper, as the hard-hearted
brother, gave a splendid Impersonation
of a difficult role and fairly divided
the honors wjth Mr. Murphy. John
Arthur's conception of his role, the
neglected son, 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.

Jamea Mclptyre, 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 large fortune. Mr Mc
Intyre explains that several years ago
when he was In Australia with the
Georgia Minstrels, since elaborated In
to "The Ham Tree,” he was able to
render a very substantial service to an
expressions of congratulation. McIn
tyre Inquired with'surprise what It all
meant. He has been married for a
number of year* and the felicities
could not have been extended to hilt-
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.
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 say* that when
he returned both tne 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
only trouble Is they cannot find the
money. ^
Nat Goodwin has begun rehearsals
of "The Genius,” a farcical comedy,
written by W. C. and Cecil de Mille,
sons *of the late Henfy C. de Mille. It
proved a popular piece for Mr. Good
win on his tour to the Pacific coast
last spring. It was then- known as
"The Genius and the Model." During
.Mr. Goodwin's season he will also
present Paul Armstrong's one-act
character study. "In a Blase of Glory."
Later In the season he will present
"Sierra,” another play also written
for him by Mr. Armstrong. In Mr.

An amusing Incident occurred dur

Paris, Sept. 8.—King Alfonso Is an
observant young monarch, as many
things have gone to prove. He has
Just Inquired of a friend In Paris for
news of a certain kitchen-garden In
the Rue Guy de Maupassant. He no-
tlced this "potager" • on arriving In
Paris at the station of the Porte Dau-
phlne. It Is situated on the side of
the line between the Rue* Guy de
Maupassant and Eugene Lahlche, and
la cultivated by a railway pointsman.
Its well-ordered lines of excellent veg
etables astonished the king, and ns It
appears, he has never forgotten It.
It Is at present a very pleasing, spec
tacle, with Its cabbage, artichokes, sal
ads, beetroots and radishes, and the
proprietor Is pushing forward his mel
ons, the first of which he Intends to
present to hJs Spanish majesty, while
the finest bunch of grapes this autumn
Is to be sent to Queen Victoria.
When the government wlsbes to con
fer a favor on the widow or the orphan
of a deceased officer,or civil function
ary, It accords her the concession of
tobacco shop. The minister of finances
has Just had the list drawn up for pre
sentatlon to parliament of the tobacco
shops, which he • granted last year.
There are 286 of them, and anions the
beneficiaries are the widows of two
deputies, and two senators, a musical
composer, an admiral, a general of
brigade, two presidents of courts of
law, an ex-minister, a public prosecutor
and others. ■ Besides these widows, the
following Individuals among others
have been given tobnero shops—an ex
actress of the Comedle Francalse, the
daughter of a "proscrlt," the father of
seventeen children and the father of a
non-commissioned officer murdered In
Madagascar.
& Jules Forget, aged 28, a Mason at
■sonnes, near Corbell, who accom
plished his first period of military ser
vice In 1903, was shortly afterwards
run over by a tramway and lost his
leg. Last month he received order* to
rejoin hla regiment and presented him
self at the gendarmerie to demonstrate
his Incapacity.
The worthy officer on duty, however,
ho could not get beyond the rules. In
formed him that he could do nothing
In the matter as long as he did not
bring n doctor's, certificate.
So Jules presented himself at the
barracks yesterday, greatly to the sur
prise of the officers, when willing
enough, and as active as circumstances
would allow, he hobbled along In the
ranks with a wooden leg. Naturally,
he was sent home again.
The campaign against feathers In
ladles' hats has now. reached France.
The most humanitarian of ladles have,
naturally, been a trifle doubtful of Ihe
success of the movement, In spite of
Its high patronage—In view of the fact
that everything In regard to female
fashion still follows the lead of Paris.
But now we have here taken up the
matter In which London, New York,
Berlin and Amsterdam has already
moved, and a league exists, whose ob
ject It Is to combat the slaughter of
young birds for 'feminine adornment.
The president of the league Is a
young lady named Mile. Marguerite
des Vurennes, who Is the secretary of
the "Revae des Anlmaux lllustrees."
and who, assisted by a few friends,
rounded It. Their Idea Is not to trou
ble the 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 the fact that all who have
heard about the matter seem to be
surprised that hats ran be made so at
tractive without birds* feathers.

He Is likewise the man who exposed

Democratic national committee. The
Georgia author says he expects Ills
book to revolutionize American sen
timent to such an extent that the
Standard Oil magnate will get In reali
ty what hls counterpart In the novel
got—not,less than 20 years.
The pictures drawn In Tapp.'s novel
are so sharp and dear that they are
easily recognized. For instance, John
Suekelow, with neither hair nor "eye
brows and able to eat only crackers
and milk, and one of the greatest com
mercial pirates tlv» world hqs ever seen,
has been identified by the critics as
John D.
Pont Slogan & Co.’s office, where all
the villainy was perpetrated, has been
recognized as a very good picture of
the headquarters of J. Plerpont Mor
gan, Wall street, New York. J. Ogden
Armour has a double In the book, and
It is said that the people of North
Carolina have Identified one of the
characters as John B. Duke, the tobac
co trust man.
It is also said that the people «»f
Georgia have recognized a similarity
between John Horton, of the novel, and
Hamilton McWhorter.'the "Bill Phelps"
of the Southern railway. The novel
has created n sensation throughout the ,
South.
It Is a terrible arraignment of the
trusts and trust masters, whose com
mercial tyranny Is depicted with great
force by the author of the novel.
The book ta called “l\hc Struggle,’’
and It starts out by picturing the beau
tiful home of a Blue Grass farmer
surrounded by the happiness that
should be hls under normal commer
cial conditions. Then .the story
shows the results of "trustlsm,” and
with fine strokes of sarcasm draws
characters that are readily recognized
as the heads of several of the country’s
greatest combinations of capital.
The author Is making no verification
or denial of Identifications. It Is said
that a man who thinks he Is the origi
nal of one of the characters In the
book has threatened to prqsecute the
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.
"The book Is a problematical novel
dealing with the industrial and com
mercial condition* of our times,” said
Tapp. "I wrote It to show up the
Infamy of the trust magnates, and to
prove, by deduction, that the Anglo-
Saxon race Is capable of s|df-govern-
ment. of course, It has n love story,
but around that Is woven the facta that
deal with our times.

ON LIFE INSURANCE POLICY
TON. F. JACKSON, ATLANTA
Manage* Nat F. Jackson, of the
Fidelity Mutual. Life’s Atlanta office,
lays claim to having written during
the| past week for hls company the
largest single premium life Insurance
policy ever taken In the South. The
application was secured by Mr. Arllne,
of Savannah, who rtcently became Mr.
Jackson's partner in the management,
and the amount of the policy Is 150,000.
The Insured is a well-known financier
of Savannah, and in payment of tho
premium he gave hls Check for the
ump sum of $25,362. No farther pay
ments will have to be made on the
policy.
A life Insurance policy of an equal
amount was also written this week In
Atlanta by Manager John S. Cowles, of
the Metropolitan Life, who, until early
this year, was executive special agent
of the Mutual Life, and who, since go
ing with the Metropolitan, has reor
ganized the Atlanta force until it is
the strongest office that company
boasts In the South. The policy men
tioned was on the life of a business
man of large Interests,, whb took the
policy ns a special protection to hls
creditors, a practice that is now meet
ing with great favor all over the coun

held first place as regards business
written personally among all the agents
of the company In the United States
nnd Canada, which, considering that
the company has nearly one million
workers, Is a striking tribute to the
quality of men that are attracted to

dlseaae 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 atrlcken pilgrims
now at Lourdes, engaged In prayer and
supplication, and the scenes of excite
ment—almost frensy—and anguish Bre
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, but this body has now started
an agitation to be given the same priv
ileges ns people engaged In shops and
factories.
Another privilege that domestic ser
vants are clamoring for—those of the
male persuasion—Is the privilege to
wear moustaches. The rest law Is also
ngltatlng the body where one would
least expect to find It. The policemen,
who have 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.

loyal supporters, dellvsrlng many
strong speeches for him throughout
