(Copyright, 1906, by Hearet News ,i Service.) 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."

Twelve or fifteen frock coats, and fifteen overcoats are Included In the king's yearly renewal of his wardrobs. The king has at least one hundred na val and military uniforms, which rep resent a large sum In value, but apart from the cost of these his tailoring bill amounts to from $5,000 to $0,000 an nually.

Lady Kitty Ogllvle, whose wedding will be the most fashionable this month, will be married from Cortachy Castle, Forfarshire, one of the ancient feudal 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 Hill, whllo leading his regiment of lan cers In a charge.

(Coprlght, 1905, by Hearat News Ser vice.) 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.

"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 the Increase. "To show to what extent eome will go to see Paris, 1 recall the recent case of a man who hid among some boxes and succeeded In getting here as stowaway.

"This man with Initiative cams to grief end wes 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 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.
