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

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.

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.

A number of actors have recently

devotes herself uninterruptedly to her
art.
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

within.
John Drew lives In ono of the Twen

ance of society was the daughter of a
line of actors and destined for the
stage heiself.
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.
