m. ' k i. 10 THE SCRANTON TRIBUNE- SATURDAY, MARCH 0, 100.1. v Ithe topics ! OF LONDON u ?JLANOK AT AFFAIRS IN ENG i LAND'S BUSY CAPITAL. Coming Election of Members of tho Council Will Prove Interesting to American Shippers King Edward Possesses Extraordinary Powers of Which tho People Ave- Not Aware. Falling Oft" in Number of Deaths from Starvation. Uoiidoii. March S. The coming cleo Inn of memheiH of tho London county council Is likely to prove lntontlng to American shippers. " Tin- condition of tho port of London has lout; boon a subject of IndlRiiant 1 protest from everybody compelled to IIHC It. During tlic busy reason there Is usually n shoal of vessels lying off Gravcsend, unable to find dock accom modation, and It Is a notorious fnct that the navigation of the Ulver Thames, below London Hrlilge, is worse thun Hell Gate, in New York, was before its obstructions were removed by dynamite. The management of the docks Is In the hands of fifty-three distinct, inde pendent authorities, entailing enough red tape to fit out any ordinary ves sel's cables, etc. At the coming election, the Uodicals, or, as they are called In local politics, the Progressives, have a platform calling for municipal ownership of all tho docks and tho excavation of a thirty foot channel ns far as Muck wall, cleaning out the fossilized cor porations and privileged companies, le modclllng the docks up to date, and intrusting their future management to a committee representing the council, tho shippers, the government nnd tho London corporation. The programme Is the most drastic onslaught on the London corporation system there has been fop centuries. Many of the privileges attacked date back almost to tho Norman cono.ue.st, and were granted when piracy was not Infrequent as far up the river as Deptford. TUB KING'S POWERS. King Edward VII possesses many very extraordinary powers and priv ileges which not many people ore aware of, and which It is possible even his majesty does not quite realize. Some of his possessions nre distinct ly curious. As nn example ho is the sole proprietor of the beds of all Ilrlt Ish tidal rivers, such as the Thames, tho Mersey, the Dee, the Tyno and many others. That part of tho shore sill around the coast which lies between high water and low water maik also belongs to his majesty, nnd he may put it to any use which ho thinks fit, while theoretically every Inch of ground In the kingdom still belongs to him and not to the landlords, if any of his sub jects find now lands they belong to the king. If a Iirltishcr tlrst finds the north pole then the north pole will be long to the king. Or if an Island should suddenly rise- In the sea It would be long to the king. It Is nn old saying that the king can do no wrong, but possibly it Is not un deistood that this Is actually and liter ally the case in England as far as tho king and the law Is concerned. Ho would not bo held personally responsi ble for any crime or "toit" which he chose to commit nt any time. The law In such cases says that any Injury which might be Indicted upon a sub ject In this way must be ascribed to the mistake of the king's advisers. Upon no pretense can his majesty bo arrested, nor can his goods be dis trained or taken In execution In case he did not meet his liabilities. His majesty Is exempt from taxation. This comes about by the simple process of reasoning that, as the revenue of tho lealm, Is his prerogative. It would be useless and absurd for him to tax him vclf. KING'S niGIITS. The king may demand tho Immediate return to England of any of his sub jects, no matter where they may be at the time, and he has the power to de clare that any particular person shall not leave the country, no matter for what reason. As head of the army and navy lie has many curious privileges, and for one thing may absolutely for bid the Importation into the country of any munitions of war. There has been no disclosure of the nature and scope of the Victorian memorial, which will be proposed by u committee headed by tho Archbishop of Canterbury, Lord Salisbury smd Lord lioscberry. It is thought that the memorlnl will have both n practical and an ornanuntal Hid. Involving a work of benevolence on a large scale - That Tells. In the six day bicycle races the pace tells terribly at the cud. Man after man falls out exhausted. The victor wabbles wearily over the line. In the business race it's the same. Man nfter man drops out exhausted. The success ful man is often a dyspeptic, unable to enjoy success. When the stomach is diseased there is not enough nutrition assimilated to sustain the body and re pair the daily waste of tissues. The result is weakness, tending to collapse. Dr, Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery cures "dfseases of the stomach and other organs of digestion and nutrition. It enables the perfect assimilation of food by which the body is built tin with sound, healthy flesh. "I have taken one bottle of Itoctor Metre' (joldeii Medicnt Discovery for ludlcettloii ami liver complaint," write Mr. C. M, Wilson, of Vailkln College, Davidson Co., N C, "Have hud no bail spells since I commenced taUnir your medicine In fact, lme not felt like the iioue man. Ilefore I took the 'Golden Medical Discovery' I could not eat nn) thing without iwfiil distress, but now 1 can eat anything I wish without having unpleasant feelings. I.ast lummer our baby wa tetthini; nnd was so poor he wa almost it slelttoii, We gaie him your Rnlilen Medical liiwnrry1 and now lie Is as aenllliy fchil welt nn ntiy child I will speaU a ji.o.1 wnul for jour medicine whenever I have in ! n-ltmlly.1 Dr, J'ivNe's relicts cure sitf; headache, and some architectural scheme for the perpetuation of tho queen's memory. If there bo n feature of the latter kind It will offer the opportunity for Ameri can ro-ojieratioii. Kor example, It it series of Victorian erosses, like those of Queen Eleanor, be agreed upon, olio of these might bu made tin Ametlcan gift. Tho American society In ixmtton has not taken any obtrusive notion In tho matter. It has obtained posses sion of tho Held to keep out self-advertisers, and will remain In tho back ground until the general plans nro formulated. It will then be In a posl tlon for action If nny portion of tho plan offers a chnnce for a popular and really oharocterlstlc expression of American feeling for the respected nnd lamented queen. THE COIIONATION. The departure of the Duke of Corn wall for Australia will be followed by the visit of the king and queen to Scotland, when they will go to Hal moral, This I tho programme out lined by the coifrt ofllclnls, with the coronntlon as an undecided question. The London vLuncet says that deaths In England from starvation have fall en from IS to 12 In 1,000,000; deaths Irom scurvy, 1 In 1,000,000. have te innlned stationary; but with deaths from Intemperance the case Is quite otherwise they have risen from 43 per 1,000,000 of those living In the year 1S7S to 77 per l.Ofio.OOO In 1897. In 1800 there wore four Roman Cath olic bishops or vicars-apostolic In Eng land and two In Scotland In both hinds there were perhaps 120.000 Cuth ollcs, Today there are In England and Scotland twenty-one bishops and about 2,000,000 of Catholics, with some 3,000 priests. ooooooooooooooooo Fashions fo Spring 0 0 ooooooooooooooooo New Yoik, March S. Among the smartest of the new gowns that aie In tended for summer wearaie some most attractive thin fabrics that are made over silk linings, either of the same shade, or of entirely different coloring. These gowns are ttlmmed with white lace, with the heavy yellowish lace, or with queer fichu collars of white silk embroidered in medallions of lace out lined with a fine gold thread. The shape Is a curious one, for nt the back It Is more like a square collar finished in points, nnd in front the ends nre long enough to tie and hang down on to the skirt or form a V-sh.aped revere. Retwcen tho folds In front' Is a narrow tucking of batiste or crepe de chine In cream white, put In ns though to make tho effect more becoming tlvin If the same dull colored lace were used alto gether. The heavier Russian locos are also used for this purivose. and look especially well on the new shades of blue nnd ted that are so popular. There a a queer shade of green that is trimmed with black lace over white tatfetn. or white satin, and little knots of yellow at the thioat and belt that Is quite unusual as to color and ex ceedingly smart, not too generally be coming, though, to mn the risk of Its being . common combination. Applique In cut work of nil descrip tions and designs Is to be immensely popular this spring. An exceedingly smart style of taffeta waist in light blue, very line tucks, has a collar and points In front made of tine white cloth cut work outlined with black machine stitching. The only other trimming on the waist being rosettes of black niallncs not connected with a fold of the bnmo material. The light weight cloth gown with the applique ff taf feta or satin outlined with a satin braid is exceedingly attractive, and the design Is used veiy cleverly In long lines outlining each seam and around tho foot of the skirt. With a black cloth costuni", tho skirt of which is made In this wny, is an exceedingly smart coat, quite short at the back nnd with long points In front, nnd the entire coat is outlined with this same trimming, a conven tionalized leaf design. Tho new tnf feto gowns show a most elnboiato car rying out of this Idea. There are me dallions of lacs nnj tbe silk is cut out underneath the medallions nml Minn n very narrow silk or satin braid is put on 10 outline me pattern. These skirts ai'O lined utth illfTotnnt illnru . ...lit. black If profen ed, nre exceedingly sinnit, and while many of them nre very fNpenslve, there Is an unusually wide choice, for many of them come In what are called the pattern gowns. The same Idea Is carried out on net nnd on liberty satin, but Is not so new. The medallions used on the crepe do chine and satin foulard gowns are not finished with any In aid, but with em broldeiy stitches, or are appllqued down on to the material Itself In a most extraordinary difficult fashion, nil ghlng an opportunity for good needle women. This heiisiin "111 b' martini .is one when most beautllul handwork Is the i.ige. Many of the embiuMi rles me lone entirely by hand and, while the imitations are so cleverly executed, it would take it very keen eye to discover the illll'eience. The preference Is for the moio expensive und what Is called real work. Even with the emlnolilereil pass.inenlerles and spangled nets an Immense amount of work Is done by band and some of the fastidious wo men say they would rather have a yard of tho hand-Woik than an entire gown covered with machine work. As It is, there tire enough orders coming m to all tho difssmakcrs and lnrgo shops for all kinds of trimming to make both equnlly fashionable. ACTORS AT HOME. How Some Footllght Favorites Pass Their Leisure Hours. Prom the New Yoik Sun. A number of actors have recently taken houses in New York and-made their homes hero permanently, leaving tho city only to fill their engagements and returning nt every opportunity. Richard Mansfield, Ada Rehan Nat Goodwin, Maude Adams, Annlo Rus sell, E. H. Sothern nnd John Drew are among tho acton who live here.

Ada ltelian has always held herself aloof from society and refused nil In vitations that might have brought her Into association with any other than n professional world. Her house Is far up on tho West Side, and her only In tlmnto friends have been In her pro fession. Occasionally In London she went Into society, nnd mimo of her In timates abroad nro women of title; but In New York slio has had no social life outside of the theatre. Annlo Russell moves In rnther a quieter set than thone that make up smart society, knows n number of peo ple who write nnd some that nro more In tho swim of social life. Her house Is In rather n remote neighborhood, nnd Is, outside, a very modest estab lishment, 'but It Is aulto charming within. John Drew lives In ono of the Twen ties, In very substantial fashion, and his houso might bo tho abode of a banker or stockbroker to judgo from Us appearance. Far up nt tho other end of tho town in neighborhoods less distinctly fashlonablo llvo Wchord Mansfield nnd E. H. Sothern. Mr. Sothern confines his social life entirely to his own profession. Tho samu Is not truo of Mr. Mansfield, who Is en deavoring to acquire somewhat tho circle of acquaintances that made John Drew envied some years ago. Wl. ' "".

Klsle De Wolf was well known In so olety before sho beenme n profession al and has maintained that position to the present day. She lives with a friend In Irving place and these two women entertain very charmingly most of the celebrities In society and art that come to New Yoik. Consequently Invitations to their house nio quite eagerly sought by persons who would not care a rap to go to nn exclusive ball. Mr. and Mrs. LeMoyne have lived for some years In nt tractive apart ments on the East Side und Mrs. Le Moyne actively resumes her soolnl llfo whenever her engagements allow a stay here. It Is Ethel Darrymore who moro than any one else has been made the particular favorite of society. For the lost three yeats women who never bc fore thought of tnklng any Interest In nn actor or actress have been vying with nno another to show attentions to this attractive young woman, who sits In stockholders' boxes at the opera and moves always in a social ntmosphero never possible before to anybody In her profession.
