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 tha trouble - Is mental: It la
reported that the king's eldest daugh
ter may soon retire from the social
world altogether.
King Alf. n*o, when In England last
month, recommended San 8ebaatlan as
a' resort which would benefit her
health; but since the princess has
been ordered a complete rest and San
Sebastian Is the Spanish Newport, the
Idea was given up. The princess' visit
to Norway for her sister's coronation
had a bad effect upon her, the exclte-
Wnt having somewhat unsettled her.
Prlnceas Victoria's retirement—tem
porary, at least—from court will, there
fore, take place 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 Into
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 brothfr oft the es.
His msjesty 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 the brother off
the Balmoral estate he promptly took
up his residence In a house on the other
side of the road on the Invercauld es-
tato barely a quarter of a mile from
Balmoral CaBtle.
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,
^°The*Balmoral people and the Inhabi
tants of the whole district along Dee
slde are complaining bitterly of the
prolonged absence of me kin* from
and close economy. The other day he
wanted some small toy which would
have cost next to nothing In the actual
money, but which 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 he could not have it. For a time
he refused to tnke "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, the little prince looked up Into
the face of the Prtncesi of Wales and
said: “Why, they will think he takes
after his mother."

Lady Kitty Ogllvle, whose wedding

strongholds of Scotland, with a par
ticularly weird ghost legend attached:
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 hnd a grudge.
The wicked earl had the boy killed and
his body thrown out of the window In
side his own drum. The last time the
fatal drum was heard 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
dram. Shortly afterwards came the
S™™ that the Earl of Arlle had been
killed at tho engagement of Diamond

Paris, Sept. 19.—Paris Is becoming
Infested with American beggars,
cording to Mr. Hanan, secretary of the
American Relief Society, there ara
more this year than aver before. The
American consul general, Mr.'Mason,
■ays It Is due to the growing crass to
see Europe.
"The fool books published In America,
telling how to live on $500 a year In
Europe,” said Mr. Mason, "are partly
responsible for the present distress,
and as the government makes no flnan
clal . provision to meet the cases of
destitution the consuls all over Europe
are paying out their own good money.
"The price of living In Paris has In
creased 50 per cent since 1900, and
Americans fall to realise that It Is as
expensive to live In Europe oa It Is 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 franca.
"Boms of .the worst cases are dls
slpated young men who have gotten
out of touch with their rich fathers,
and who spend their 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. Soma of these frauds appear
to do good business.
"The erase to see Europe has brought
about soma curious consequences. Re
cently a man from Texas, named
Boughton, came over with hie
wife to try his fortune. Wearing
pair of stilts under long trousers and a
cowboy's sombrero hat, he quickly cre
ated a sensation In England and made
some $2 a day. Coming to Paris, ac
cording to the story tola by the Amer
ican Relief Society, the police told him
to 'cut It out,' as such things arc per
missible only during carnivals, and the
poor fellow nearly stayved until the
society sent him back to London.

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 8elne and were
drowned within a short while of each
other. Not long after. In another quar
ter of the town, four people sought
death by Jumping from windows. Last
week four people were found dead from
•elf-Infllcted bullet wounds In the pub
lic parks. The curious part of these
suicides Is that the dead persons are In
no way related to each other, and evi
dently have had no Intimation of each
other’s Intentions.
The department of waterworks for
Paris have Juat sent In their report for
1905. This shows, among other things,
the number of dead bodies fished out
of the Seine during the year. They
comprise 100 human bodies, 2,110 dogs.
900 cats, 2,359 rats, 550 herts, $0 ducks,
215 rtbbUs, 12 sheep, 30 horses, 45 pigs.
