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 the trouble la mental. It Is
reported that the king’s eldest daugh
ter may soon retire from the social
world altogether.
King Alf. nso, when In England last
month, recommended San Sebastian as
reeort which would benbflt her
health; but since the princess has
been ordered a complete rest and San
Sebastian la the Spanish Newport, the
Idea was given up. The prtneess’ visit
to Norway for her sister's coronation
hod a bad effect upon her, the excite-
rffent having somewhat unsettled her.
Princess Victoria's retirement—tem
porary, at least—from court will, there
fore, take placo 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 late
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 brother off the es-
j^in majesty 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 tho brother off
the Balmoral estato he promptly took
up his residence In a houso on the other
side of the road on the Invercauld es
tate barely a quarter of a mile from
Balmoral Castle.
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,
J °The^Balrnoral people and the Inhabi
tants of the whole district along Dee
slde ore. complaining bl«erl> of the
and close economy. The other day he
wanted some small toy which would
have cost next to nothing In the actual
money, but w hich 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 hi could not have It. For a time
he refused to take "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, tho little prince looked up Into
the face of tho Princess of Wales and
said: "Why, they will think he takes
after his mother."

strongholds of Scotland, with a fuir-
tlcularly 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 had a grudge.
The wicked earl had the boy killed and
his body thrown out of tho window In
side his own drum. The last time the
fatal drum was hoard 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
drum. Shortly afterwards came the
news that the Earl of Arlle Imd been
killed at the engagement of Diamond
Hill, while leading his regiment of lan
cers In a charge. The gallant earl was
lady Kitty’s father and her brother,
who Is only 19, Is the present holder
of the title.
HUNDRED DELEQATE8
ATTEND THE REUNION.
Special to The Georgian.
Anniston, Ala.. Sept. 19—With over
100 enthusiastic delegates In attendance
and with the strains of "Dixie" played
by the orchestra, the annual reunion of
the Calhoun county Confederate sol
diers was opened at the court house
yesterday afternoon. The threatening
weather kept the attendance down
somewhat, but what was lacking In
numbers was amply made up In enthu
slasm shown during the meeting.
After giving tho "rebel yell with a
vim. Judge J. T. Greene called the
men to order and Rev. W. P. Howell
offered prayer. E. H. Hanna, of the
local corps, then gave a short address
of welcome, followed by an able re
sponse by Judge A. F. McGhee Owing
to some misunderstanding. Congress
man Svdnle J. Bowie was not present,
as was expected, and his address was
necessarily omitted from the program.
The latter part of the session was
devoted to a reminiscent talk about the
old days, all the members participat

Paris, Sept. 19.—Paris Is becoming
Infested with American beggars. Ac
cording to Mr. Hanan, secretary ot the
American Relief Society, there are
more this year than ever before. The
American consul general, Mr. Mason,
says It Is due to the growing erase to
see Europe.
"The fool books published In America,
telling how to live on 1600 a year In
Europe," said Mr. Mason, "are partly
responsible for the present distress,
and as the government makes no finan
cial provision to meet the cases of
dsstltutlon ths consuls all over Europe
are paying out their own good money.
"The price of living In Paris has in
creased 60 per cent since 1900, and
-Americans fall to realise that It Is as
expensive to live In Europe as It fa 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 francs.
Some of the worst cases aro dis
sipated young men who have gotten
out of touch with their rich fathers,
and who spend tbelr 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. 8ome of these frauds appear
to do good business.
"The erase to see Europe has brought
about some curious consequences. Re
cently a man from Texas, named
Boughton, came over with his
wife to try his fortune. Wearing a
pair of stilts under long trousers and n
cowboy's sombrero hat, he quickly cre
ated a sensation In England and made
some IS a day. Doming to Paris, ac
cording to the story told by the Amer
ican Relief Society, the police told him
to 'cut It out,' as such things are per
missible only during carnivals, and the
poor fellow nearly starved until the
society sent him back to London.
"Since the first of the year the Amer
ican Relief Society has had nearly 260
new cases of destitution, not Including
the chronic l>eggars. Last year the so-
clety sent about forty home to the
United States and twenty-five to Lon
don, where the American understands
the language.”
"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 tho
Increase.
"To show to what extent some will
go to see Paris, I recall the recent case
of a man who hid among some boxes
and succeeded In getting here as a
stowaway.
" ‘Didn't you fear being detected and
imprisoned?' this strenuous fellow was
asked.
“ 'Why I never thought of It until
now,' he said.

A statistician has just published
note relative to the length of time

'Up to the age of six years the aver
age female child scarcely ever looka

years of age little girls spend an aver
age of seven minutes a day looking at

From that time until she Is twenty she
looks at herself in the glass for about
20 minutes, and between the age of
twenty and thirty half an hour Is spent
by the average woman dally In front
of her mirror.

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 Seine and were
drowfled within a short while of each
other. Not long after, In another quar
ter of the town, four people Bought
death by Jumping from windows. Last
week four people were found dead from
self-inflicted bullet wounds in the pub
lic parks. The curious part of these
suicides Is that the dead persona are In
no way related to each other, and evi
dently have had no Intimation of each
other'a Intentions.
The department of waterworks for
Paris have just sent In their report for
1905. This shows, among other things,
the number of dead bodies Ashed out

comprise 100 human bodies, 2,110 dogs.
