Treves' attack on tho lady nmateur nuracs
In -South Africa huti provoked remarkably
little protcnt here, though uoubtlens when It
reaches Capetown the ladles themselves will
becomn vocal. In society It Is rumored that
bo had specially In mind those three dla
lliiEUlshod nursffl I.ady Tatton Sykea, l-ndy
Randolph Churchill and Mrs. Hlchard
Chamberlain, sister-in-law of tho colonial
secretary.
Troves is a singularly aUHlero young mnn
entirely nbsorbed In his profession, and ho
Is mild to havo resented, the semi-regal
honorH nhown to I.ady Randolph Churchill
in her nroKroaK from Durban. When sho
vlslted tho Colei'no camp It upsot tho real
nurse, as lidy Randolph's uxamplo wai
followed by several lewer llghtB. who bad
not her oxruso for Intruding themnelvoi.
Then I-'uly Tatton Sykes oamo Into direct
conflict with the military authorities when
ho wiih In Natal, as sho would not obey
nny camp regulations, and hence found her
position so uncomfortable hho had no option
but to como homo.
Mrt. Chamberlain has act all tho other
nomen In Capetown by the cars, as she In
Urfrres with everything nnd assumes semi
official nlrn nn the strength of tho report
that she Is engaged to Sir Alfred Mllner and
rnJojH his conlldeuce. Hcforo she left it
wan bald she could twist Sir Evelyn Wood
around her linger as sho liked, nnd that she
had had much to do with Inspiring somo of
the least dependable staff appointments mado
nt tho beginning of the wnr nnd resulting
In such terrible disasters.
Sheyis nn ambitious woman, posing as n
tort ol uncrowned queen of Cape Colony and
causing endless Jealousy and squabbling
among tho othnr women, no that Mllner hi
boon obliged to keep tho whole lot nt n dis
tance. Several nro returning home. Mko
Lndy Randolph Churchill, they hava had
enough of it.
No ono expected that I.ady Randolph
Churchill would go out again, especially as
young Cornwnllls West, to whom she was
for a ehort tlmo engaged, Is not considered
fit enough to return to tho front. He seems
rjulto as devoted ns over. I.ady Randolph
Is now settling Into her house In Great
Cumberland place, and, as sho Is having It
none HP, It Is evident she Intends to stay
thoro'for the season. She doclnres sho will
pnly vrlto her experience in her own
nuarterly magailne, ns sho Is not free to

They are already among tho killed.
The decision of tho archbishops of Cantor-
bury und York made public Mny 1, on tho
subject of the reservation of tho sacrament,
in which they said they were obliged to
decldo that tho Church of England did not
allow reservation In any form and that those
believing it ought to bo permitted, whllo
Jiistltled In endeavoring to get tho law
altered, were not Justified In practicing
reservation mill tho law was changed, has
created widespread speculation among tho
laity nnd clergy regarding tho outcome. The
extreme ritualists have nlways demurred
against chit authority, but tho contentions
aro now under the ban of tho highest
episcopal court, which they swore to obey
when ordained. Yet It does not nppear that
they nro moro willing to glvo up their
practices than before. As the Dally (Iraphle,
which la a churchman's paper, fays, "It
needs no gift of prophecy to forotcll that tho
Church of England cannot continue as an
organized body If any largo section of tho
clergy follow tho advice of tho extreme
ritualists. If tho high church clergy claim
to bo a law unto themselves they must either
leave tho church or shatter It."
Many churchmen and conservative papers
not engaged in tho controversy nro seriously
considering tho question of dlsestnbllsh-
ment, n remedy hitherto so rcpugnnnt to
them that they would scarcely discuss It.
Most of tho theaters nro doing romarka
bly well. Tho fashionable succefses of tho
day are tho comedy "Kitty Grey" at the
Vaudeville, with Ellis Jeffreys and Miriam
Clements In the cast, and furton's new
comedy, "lady Huntsworth's Experiment,"
nt tho Criterion, in which Miss Compton
ngaln achieves great success and Gertrudo
Elliott, In a minor part, also continues to
win tho applause of the English critics
Theso two plays, with the Gaiety and Daly's,
aro nbsorblng most of tho fnshlouablo

a number of other houses aro crowded

LONDON, May fl.-Thls has been a week
of dinners and speeches, the latter quite in
ferior to the fonnor. So Ions had Ireland
been monopolizing gaiety that London had
almost forgotten how to celebrate and was
threatened with n period of depression un
der the cloud of wnr and mourning. Hut
now that the royallstn and their suites have
trooped back across tho Irish channel, manv
with just, a tlngo of brogue, seml-polltlcul
juul prlvnto dinners have made tho nights
of tho metropolis gay, while tho racing nt

Tho victory of tho prlnco of Wales, whooo

nnd tho great raco courso became the prom

Tho second drawing room, rset down for May

to being marked by unusual public rejoic

uf tho recent dinners none was more
striking than tho banquet glvon at the Hotel

LONDON, May C Tho report that cholera
is Htrcngthenlng its deadly hold on famine
mricken India brings tho pitiful condition
of that country moro than ever to public
view. About 93,500,000 persons, for this 1,
tho population of tho districts, aro swolter
ing their squalid existences away amid pes
tllenco and mlwry that show no slgnd of
abating. Hundredn of thousands of pounds
In good Ilrltlsh gold, good German marks
and American corn havo been thrown into
tho country, but Judging from the latest
advices nil this charity Is merely n diop
in tho ocean. The famlno and all Its at
tendant complications appear to exceed in
virulonco any two previous visitations,
Tho viceroy, Iord Curzon of Kodleston,
and tho government aro making ccaselcbs
oxortlons to meet tho terrible emergency,
but the stupendous dlfllcultlea confronting
them prevent tho present bupplylng of re
lief to moro than 5,000,000. In the meantime
tho native states aro dotted with heaps of
dead and dying and tho roads am crowded
with ghastly bands seeking to ccapo from
tho stricken territory, but who for lack of
fooil und water mostly Hiiccumb In tho at
tempt. Ono of tho most hopclesH features of tho
wholo affair Is contained In tho statement
of a special correspondent at Simla who
writes:
"Ten times tho tntnl relief could bo laid
out In a slnglo district without fully re
lieving Its distress. All wo can hopo for l
11 succession of good years to put thorn on
their legs again."
rcnrfnl Seen Drplotril,
Tho Dritlsh districts aro reported to be
escaping the largo starving and mortality
that mark tho natives, but that their con
dition la not enviable is evident from the
following description sent by .1 Ilombay
correspondent of tho scene of Ahemadabad,
In tho presidency of Ilombay:
"In an open spaco upwards of 200 were
seated, old and young, being famlno per
sonified. Tho smell arising from thclc
filthy rags was sickening and had attracted
myriads of fllw. Some, especially the old
men, wore bony framework. A girl Buck
ling two children was ghastly to look at,
but tho little ones, with hollow temples,
sunken eyes nnd cheeks and tho napes of
their necks falling In under their skulls,
which seemed to overbalance their emaciated
bodies, nnd with wlsp-llko arms nnd legs,
were more dreadful still. Many wero suffer
ing from disease nnd numbers had tho
1 fever. Thoso who could work were sent
on where tanks were being dug. Others
wero given a meal and passed on to tho
poorhouse."
This plcturo is from a less seriously
affected part of tho country. Tho suffering
In the remoter districts, whero tho famine
Is worse, whero all tho cattlo havo long
since died, whero tho water Is precious
and whero cholera has now added Its dread
scourge, can well bo imagined.

ED NIGHTINGALE BADLY CUT

I, nit Mulit.
Ed Nightingale, a notorious young tough,
lies In tho city Jail with a deep wound in
his abdomen, received mysteriously, wlikh
may result In his death. In company with
frlcndd Nightingale entered Alfred Keller's
saloon at Slxtoenth and Manderbon strcetn
shortly after 10 o'clock Saturday night. Kol
ler ordered Nightingale to leave tho placo,
which ho refused to do, A bystander, T. J.
McMullln, remonstrated with Nightingale
and tho lattiT fctrurk him a vicious blow on
the noso, fracturing tho bono. Nlghtlngalo
and hlH companions t-hcii left tho saloon and
wont to tho Mlwnurl Pacific bridge near by
whero they drank and caroused for somo
tlmo. Finally tho crowd tried to Ivanl a
Sherman avunuo car, but Nlghtlngalo slipped
nnd wao dragged for several feet. Ho was
later arrested by Officer Haldwln for the
asfsjilt on McMullln.
Nlghtlngalo nsscrtii that Keller stabbed
blm during tho row lir tho naloon, but ovory
witness denies this. Hl friends say that
ho received the wound when hn was dragged
by tho t.trcct car, but this Is mnnlfrHtly nb
turd. Tho moat probable explanation It that
Nlghtlngalo and his tough friends became
Involved In troublo wa'.ln drinking at the
bridge ami nnn of them did tho stubbing. At
nny rato Nlghtlngnlo la badly cut and tho
chnnces aro nbout oven for his recovery.
Nlghtlngnlo Is wanted at South Omaha
for a bold daylight robbery committed last
December when ho walked into IlurkeV
raloon on Q street nnd took J.'O ami two
checks from tho proprietor. In thl Job ho
was assisted by two pain who nro In Jail
In Chicago for assaulting a policeman. The
evidence Is very strong against Nightingale
and If bo liven ho will have a long aontence
to serve.
