INTERESTING GOSSIP FKOJI ABROAD fBT (ULSLE TO THE DISPATCH. 1 IMSDOS, Dec. ltt Copyright If it Is true that Mrs. Maybrick was hopelessly ill she would be released at once br the Home Secretary, as it is the custom to grant release in all cases to dying prisoners, if their friends are desirous to receive and care for them. It is impossible to reconcile the state ments made about Mrs. Maybrick's illness, but there is no reason to doubt the sin cerity of the representations made by her mother, the Baroness de Roqnes. Certain that it is that Mrs. Maybrick, who has long been in the hospital, was so low on Monday last that the Governor of the prison sent for her mother to hasten to her bedside. In alettrr received by The Dispatch corre spondent to-day from the Baroness, she gives the following interesting particulars about her daughter's case: 1-have no news sinc,e yesterday, when my daughter was worse, having had a bad night and being incapable of retaining food. Any recurrence of hemorrhage or a fainting fit will prove fatal, and she now appears to be sinking. That her life was prolonged on Monday is entirely due to the prompt action xnd untiring attention ot Drs. Byrnes and Wynant. Very Near Death, Tet Rallied. 'jTht Governor, though restricted in his 'liberty of making a report to me by the rules, has said he never saw anyone so near death and rally. When he humanely tele graphed for me he did not expect me to find her alive, although I was here in eight hours. The first words my daughter said, in a whisper of weakness, on my arrival, were that I owed her life to the heroic efforts of these two physicians and their continued care ot her. Since she did Dot expect to see me again she had all her last wishes known, had received the last sacrament of the Church and on oath had declared her inno cence of any act, attempt or intent against her husband. Had she died an Monday I conclude he is right in telling me that oath would be an attested paper for next of kin. As my only son, at ex actly her age, died of rapid comsumption, taken in December and died in March, with just her symptoms, end, as I was privileged to nurse him, X know the dis ease and I have no hope of my daughter's recovery. It is too late. She has been having hemorrhages from the lungs for tome time, and, knowing her brother's fate, ihe petitioned Mr. Asquith for a release before sue became incurable. I. am sure bad the pathology and the family history been known to the authorities they would haTe understood differently. The Comfort of Hope Wanted. 'I(desire the one comfort of hope to be extended to her. Unless she can rally now, with the hope of at least dying outside the prison and in my care, I do not think she will survive Christmas. I have seen her only for a lew moments at a time, and it is by an unusual privilege from the humane Governor that I am permitted to do even this, and am as near her as I can be out side, to be within call day or night, since I may not remain with her." The official report about the prisoner is very different. The Baroness called the Home Secretary's attention to the matter immediately after leaving her daughter's bedside on Monday. Mr. Asquith referred the matter to the medical authorities of the prison, and their report was received at the Home Office to-day. They say that Mrs. Maybrick is not seriously ill, and Mr. As quith thererore announces that he will not Interfere. On the authority of a gentleman well ac quainted with Home Office affairs, it is said that there exists a stroug reason for the ap parently unmerciful attitude taken by the Government in this case. To offset the weakness of the evidence which led to the commutation of the original sentence of death, it is said that certain cumulative evidence of guilt not used at the trial was brought to the Home Secretary's attention. It was explained by those who produced this evidence that they did not desire to see the extreme penalty of the law inflicted, and so withheld it at the trial. They did not however, wish to see the convicted woman escape with a slight punishment. "FBAHCIS JOSEPH IN HIGH DUDGEON. So Offended at the Conduct or Hungary That He Won't Hunt There. VIENNA, Dec 10. Emperor Francis Joseph is greatly irritated over the recent course of events in Hungary. It has been customary for him to go on hunting expedi tions In the royal preserves at Buda-Pesth, and in the vicinity of Godollo, where the royal palaces are situated. Hunting dogs are kept at both places, and in their care and in other things pertaining to the chase many persons are employed. These hunt ing expeditions have, also, inured to the benefit of many tradesmen. The Emperor's feelings have been so itirred by the political upheaval in Hun gary that he has decided to give up hunting in that country, and has given orders that his packs of hounds be sold.

Lo'iiDOlf, Dec 10. All prance is still watching with unflagging interest the de velopment of the 'Panama scandal. The patching up ol the Cabinet is everywhere regarded as a temporary affair and has left the stage clear for the working out of the great national melodrama. There is good reason for believing that Carnot himself was the cause of the fall of the Loubet Cabinet or rather of the Bicard end of it A prominent member of the chamber did not hesitate to cay to The Dispatch correspondent yesterday "that President Carnot dictated the course of the Minister of Justice in the matter of the Panama Investigating Commission. The action of the Chamber has compelled at least an apparent modification ot that policy, and so much has since transpired regarding the great corruption that it is now quite too late to squelch this investi gation. The Dispatch's Paris correspondent met M. Loubet the day alter the Cabinet reformed. The Minister of the Interior stopped him and said: "Well, you are sur prised to see me again in harness, after what I said to you ten days ago? Office is a burden to me" as much now as then, but I considered it my dutv to assist in putting an end to the crisis. It is from patriotic motives only that I am back asain. I ac cepted the post as a soldier accepts and obeys his captain's orders." M. Loubet declined to sav what would be the policy of the new Cabinet in the mat ter of the difficulty between the Judiciary and the Investigating Committees ot the Chamber. At the session to-day of the Panama Com mittee, M. Brisson, the President, stated that he agreed with the proposal made by Jf. Bourgeois, Minister of Justice, tnat a sub-committee of seven members of the commission, including its President, be ap pointed to examine the Panama legal docu ments to ascertain if any members of the Chamber of Deputies were compromised in the scandal. The sub-committee was then selected. It was decided to keep secret the contents of the documents, whether favor able or unfavorable to the Panama defend-, ants. M. Bourgeois to-day communicated to the committee a schedule of 490 legal documents bearing on the affairs of the com pany that are in possession of the Procurer. A ROYAL HEART AT AUCTION. Something to Boose Even Blase Paris Into Unfeigned Interest. BY CABLE TO THE DISPATCH. London'. Dec. 10. A royal heart on the auction block is the btrange and gruesome spectacle which will rouse even blase Paris into nnfeigned interest in a few days. It. is said to be the heart ol the unhappiest of all French princes, the Dauphin, son of Louis XVL and Marie Antoinette, and it has Deen preserved for 97 years in a jaf of spirits where it was placed by the famous surgeon Pell e tan, who made an autopsy in the temple. The history of the relio is authentic The only question is whether the boy who died in the temple in 1795 was the' real Dauchin or a child who had been sub stituted for the Prince when the bpy died. Pelletan and three colleagues assigned made a post mortem, and during an inter val when his associates went to the window chatting, Pelletan removed the heart fr6m the body, wrapped it in his handkercHlfcf and slipped it into his pocket He pre served the relic in a vessel of brandy until Louis XVlII. became "king, in 1817, when he offered to give the heart to the King for royal burial. Louis neither refuted nor accepted Pelletan's offer, and Pelletan then sent the relic to the sacristy of the arch bishopric ot Paris. In 1833 the people Of Paris sacked the archbishop's palace and Dr. Jules Pelletan, son of the surgeon, saved the royal relic at the risk of- his life. He has recently died, and the heart, in its reliquary, is to'.come to the hammer. 100 COSILY TO LAST LONG.

A delightful little story that will surely go the rounds of all earth about a Princess and a cruel donkey driver, gained publicity yesterday. It re lates to an incident which happened in a West End street yesterday afternoon, Al though the name of the principal actor is not published, I have learned that it i none other than Princess May, A costermonger was driving his donkey barrow of irnit alopg the road. The frowsy little beast was scarcely able to move, and its master beat it continually with a heavy stick. An elegant carriage containing two ladies of course young and beautiful drove up, and the prettier of the fair occupants, observing the cruel treatment of the little donkey, ordered her coachman to stop. She begtred the donkey driver to cease his blows, and when he re fused, with some Insolence, she directed her footman to take his stick Jroni him. The order was obeyed with alacrity, and thenjthe donkey owner turned upon his fair critic and abased her. The young wo man indignantly retorted that unless he would promise to be kind to the donkev in fnture she would give him in oustody. The man, unabashed, replied that he would ap ply for a summons for both footman and mistress, and demanded her name for th,e purpose. He got it Instantly. Then there was an amusing transforma tion. The cruel donkey driver became the picture of repentance and apprehension, literally dropped on his knees in the mud and addressing the now smiling young uoman as "your 'ighness," he besought her royal pardon. He admitted that the little donkey jack bad been a good old friend.and confessing mat ne had served nim Dad, added, "I'll never hit him again, no, so help me 'taters, I won't" A constable appeared in the midst of the coster's prayer, and observing who was the occupant pt the carriage, immediately pro duced his pocketbook for the purpose of entering a report The ladyf hovrever, with gracious smile begged that lie would allow the coster to depart, and after reading him a homily on unkindness to animals, directed the stick to be returned to him.

Patent medicine ad vertisers who offer to bank on the virtues of their remedies ran be compelled to redeem their promises in the English courts, and a test case decided this week by the Court ot Appeal establishes an in teresting precedent for , America as well. A year ago, when influenza was prevalent, the Carbolic Smoke Ball Company, in an advertisement guaran teed immunity from the disease to every body who used its remedy three times daily for two weeks, 100 to be the forfeit Mrs. Carlill used a smoke ball faithfully for three weeks and then the epidemic seized her. She sent in her claim tor 100, but it wasn't paid, all sorts of excuses being offered. It was argued that the offer was a .mere device to attract attention, a. wager, vague in its terms, and that there was not' a complete contract because Mrs. Carlill dd not notiiy her acceptance of the offer. All these excuses have been brushed aside by the courts in which Mrs. Carlill brought suit Lord Justice Bowen, in his decision, likens the case to the offer of a re ward Tor a lost dog. People do not write letters to the advertiser accepting his offer, bnt they look for the dog.

English papers this week have teemed with anecdotes about Jay Gould and comments on his career, and the verdict upon him in many cases has been one of unsparing condemnation. In genious and peculiar have been some of the measures suggested for dissipating the power which it is represented is wrongfully possessed by vast fortunes. Mr. La bouchere's is worth mentioning: "Were I an American," he says, '1 should meet this tendency by a progresiive death duty on all bequests. What I mean is that the duty would not progress on the sum total left by the individual, bu ton the sum in herited'by the individual Suppose that a man lett 1,000,000, and that my progressive duty doubled itself on every 100,000 inherited by any ot his heirs. My clan would work out in this way. If the duty on the first 100, 000 were 5 per cent, should he leave one person 200,000, 15,000 would have to bo paid; 35,000 by any one getting 300,000, and so on, until the effect of leaving an ex cessive amount to one individual would be that the State would become the sole her.

Few recent enterprises are qo a larger scale than the great cokipg works which are soon to' light these charming river val leys with fitful glare at night and 'wrap them in clouds of sulphurous smudge mqst of the day. The great extent of these ooal deposits has been talked of in a general way for some time, and the assertion has been made that they rivaled in many re spects those of "Western' Pennsylvania, but it has only been within the past year that thev have attracted the serious attention of heavy capitalists who have become convinced of ., r, , . f 1.! 1 - I...!.!.... tneir value tor cuuiuy iuu uic uuuunm works which in time, they anticipate, will equal in output the famous Connellsvilje region. " Experts have pronounced the coal of these mountains equal for coking purposes to that of Connellsville.and the narrow and beautiful vallevs of these winding moun tain streams will be lined with hundreds of ovens before another twelvemonth is over. Prick and the other great coke operators pf Pennsylvania will have to meet a new' and vigorous competition, the central force of which aie the millions of the Yauderbilts and the financial shrewdness and sagacity of Drexel, Morgan & Cc Cheaper Fuel for the South. The effect of this development upon the iron and steel industry oi the nation is too complex a theme for such an article as this. In all likelihood it means cheaper fuel tor the Southern furnaces and mills, and con sequently a greater lease of power for them and more force to their competition. The single item of lower freight rates on fuel because of the shorter haul will be very important to all the industries of a wide section. The force of this newpompetitionincoke, h'ower, is likely to also compel lower prices for that fuel to the furnaces of Ohio and Pennsylvania as' well as to those in the South, so that the iron and steel industries of the whole country will probably derive some benefit. Thus is the interest of one section the concern of all, for the opening up of this new coking region will quite pos sibly be a notable factor in the further cheapening of iron and steel products for the millions. The Chesapeake and Ohio Bail road has built branches up the Ganley river and Loup creek to accommodate this new traffic and in anticipation of its volume has also double-tracked its road, the work being almost completed at this time Since the steep walls of the New river rise so closely to the water as in many places not to allow of two main tracks side by side, the second one is on the opposite bank of the stream, and it is expected coke ovens will be built near both wherever the steep walls recede enough to permit of it A Picturesquely Beautiful Region. The 18 miles oT the New river which are soon to thus become the center of a great -coking enterprise are widely iamous-aspart ot one ot the most picturesque and oeauu ful ot the mountain rivers ot EasternVraer iea. When one contemplates it now and thinks of what it will ' be a year hence; the old ccstbetio strictures of Buskin against modern, industrial despoliation ' appear in a new light and despite American zeai for the develop ment of great resources' and pleasure in in dustrial advancement, we cannot but cop. fess a sympathy for Buskin's pleas and feel the sting of regret that the wild beauty which has given thousands of travelers de light must be blasted by the touch of mod ern materialism. Those who know its charms will mourn for the old along the New next year and forever after. The quiet 'of wooded glen will be broken by the shrill whistle oi the engine on the coal-breaker. High up the steep slopes, narking entrances to mines, will stand unsightly buildings like plague spots in what are even yet tree-clad soli tudes. Below them to the railroad tracks will be the dirty and unpoetic tramways, and into the clear waters of rushing rivers will fall the contaminating 'refuse1 of the mine The smoke and dusky grime of coke ovens will mingle in choking clouds with the blue tiaze of autumn that hands the mountain sides and the soft mists that crown majestic summits. The sweet odors of the deciduous forest and the balm of pines will alike be lost in the sulphurous exhalations trom a myriad of gmudgy pits. The negro miners, huddled in coarse new cabins in little recesses of the mountains and their brother toilers over the stone ovens alike begrimed and prosy, have lost the cbsrm, if not the lighthearted cheerfulness of the old plantatian life, and stalk like veritable imps of Vulcan in landscapes where only man and nan's works are vile Great Changes In a Pew Tears. A few, years sinoe the rush and shriek of the locomotiye awoke strange echoes among mountains- that rarely knew a sound less tender or profound than the roar of the tempest through gorge and defile, the alternate moaning of the trees in winter and their whispering choruses in summer and the mur mur of the mountain torrent in spring time rushing with foam and fury upon its apparently endless task of cutting even deeper its rocky channel, and wrest ing some atom as guerdon from every stub born boulder that disputed its way even while, by its fall trom its strata above, it mutely testified to the prowess of the stream. In autumn, the same stream ed died and rippled softly over the rocks, with little crests of white where the rapids are, or glided into glassy rools in the shade of immense granite boulders. Then, too, the magician of the season waved the wand of 6oIor over tree-clad mountain sides, and glories of the rainbow shone forth, while here and there grav ledges and dark green of pines, unmoved by autnmn's witcheries, stood out in con trast with the kaleidoscope in which maple and chestuut, hickory and second-growth oak, beech and sumac blushed and glowed and burned and shone in Exquisite, ever varying combinations of color harmony.

OuKD ON T1?E STAG rcosRKSToynxscr or thx dhpatcw.1 New Yoke, Dec. 10. Little Zelda San ders will 'take a bill to Albany next Febrn-j ary when the Legislature sits to legalize the performance of children on the stage. She is but 9 years old, and is President' of the Anti-Gerry Society, composed of ' thousand stage children and their mother and hundreds of adult Thespians, organized! to oppose Mr. Gerry's plan. The theatrical managers had a bill passed last winter, but Mr. Gerry found holes in then law and prevented Mayor Grant) from licensing children as provided by the act. 'Assemblyman Stein, who) LilCle Mia Sanden. By courtesy-of Sarony.l introduced the bill, would get no mother to consent to allow her child to act as plaintiff in a test case. Little Zelda heard of tha trouble and without her mother's consent' came over from her home in Brooklyn one day, and the case of "Zelda Sanders vs. . Mayor Grant" began. Mrs. Sanders was frightened when she heard the news, but didinot withdraw the action. Tbfs suit led to tbe organization of ths Anti-Gerry Society, 30 little Thespians gathering first at Zelda's call in her Brook-' lyn home. At the nrst meeting the follow. ing officers were elected: Zeld3 Sanders, ago 9, President; Beatrice AVillard, 13, Vies. President; Edith "Widmer, 13, Secretary; Lilly Kline, 7, Treasurer. The society has been immediately suc cessful and now occupies spaeious beadquar-c ters at No. 121 West Twenty-third street,, New York. Zelda was very active during' the political campaign. When not attend-1 ing rehearsals she was calling upon pros-i Eective Assemblymen, 20 out of 21 of whom, ave promised to vote for any bill the littla aitator takes to Albany next February, when the Anti-Gerry Society will send its juvenile delegates to lobby for their cause.
