( Copyright/ / 1KO , by Pre s Publishing Co ) LONDO.Y , Aug. C. ( Now York World Cablegram Special Telegram. ) Lunacy shown an alarming growth in KngKuid. Statistics Just published give 103,086 a * the total ot certified lunatics , nn in- ctease of 3,114 on the preceding year. This is tbo greatest annual increase recorded by over l.fOO. The rate of recovery also shows a backward movement from 38.81 per cent to 30 S7. Agricultural laborers pro vide the largest proportion of lunatics , This Is attributed to the low standard ot llfo and the large part played by strong , cheap Indian teas , which are tholr dally sus- tcnanco. Clerks furnish the next greatest proportion of lunatics. Here also the hard , wearing , underpaid work and Intmfllclcnt food nro the leading causes. It is con tended that the increase of lunacy is more apparent than real and duo chlelly to the enhanced stringency of the law regulating the notification of lunatics , but exports agree that the stress of modem llfo Is the prime factor In promoting lunacy. Oowea has been almost tOulvcled up under this week's heat wave KIghty-soven dc- greca Fahrenheit In the shade IB regarded ( hero as phenomenal nnd Queen Victoria felt BO tropical she had rccouise to the novel expedient of keeping the temporatuio of her apartments at Osborno to i > S , which who always maintains , winter nnd summer. Ship's buckets from the royal yacht filled with Ice wore placed about her rooms , but even then 05 was the lowest point attain able. Cowlcs wan never so crowded with people nnd craft of all klmta. Mrs. Tony Drexel's entertainment at Norrls castle , whcro she had all the smart people , was the feature ot the week. American women swarmed every afternoon on the royal yacht squad ron lawn. Count and Countcaa Bonl entertained the prince of Wales at dinner aboard the stately steam j.ielit Valhalla , the Americans prefl- cnt b < ilng Lady Randolph-Churchill , Mrs. Arthur Pngct and Mrs. Droxol. Count Bonl only lost the Coupe de Franco by bad luck. Ho has announced bis Intention to challenge again next jour. Countess Bonl sat one afternoon for half nn hour on the squad ron lawn with the prince of Wales and Princess Henry Plcbs and Mrs. George Kop- pcl and seemed to take an animated part in the conversation. Count Bonl was rather noticeable during the week by bib foppish get-up and his endless changes of clothes. Friday ho dressed In the morning in navy blue , appeared at noon in a white linen suit , with a white cap nnd green Russia leather boots , in the nftornoon In n tennis costume and n hugo red bow , the ends floating over hla shoulders , and a vhlto straw hat , The countess Is always exquisitely dressed , nothing overdone , but ( in the bc , t of tnate. She has much trouble with her husband , but is greatly enjoying herself. Mis. Arthur Pagct Is going on a cruise nlong the French coast , stopping nt Trou- vlllo for the races. Mrs. Mnckay Is staying nt Ostcnd on the way to Marlcnbad , where nho will undergo a mild cure Her plans for the. autumn are upset by the return of her son to Now York Mrs Henry White's health Is continuing very Indifferent. Mr Whlto has taken her for a couple of months to the Vosges mountains and the borders ot Franco and Switzerland in the hope of re gaining her strength. G. II. Peck , the purchaser of Klllorney , has left his residence nt Belgrnve Square for Fastylly , Perthshire. Great scepticism Is expressed whether Peck's purchase Is destined to prove n financial success , If he means to turn It to account for building pur poses. Klllnrncy Is doubtless very beauti ful , but very remote from London , and the climate there Is so wet In average years as to depreciate Its attractions as a residential elte , If , on the other hand , the Idea Is to make money by exploiting tourists more than now , the result will bo simply disas trous , as there nro few places where the tourist Is more ruthlessly exploited already. Axtor'n Clinnniof HIINP , Incisive comments of the American press on Waldorf Aster's naturalization are uni versally quoted In the English press. None lias said a word in defense of the renuncia tion of nationality by Queen Victoria's new est subject. Astor Is no more popular here than in Now York. Ills churlish attempt * in depriving banting parties of privileges nl- ua > s enjoyed of landing on Cliveden grounds ( luring Westminster's tenancy makes him bated on the Thames , while his successful effort to prevent the London county council from erecting n suitable building and much needed municipal odlcen In Sprlnc gardena because It would Interfere with the ameni ties of his residence at Carlton House Ter race has rendered hla name a by-word for plutocratic selfishness in London. Then so ciety , -while accepting his cosily but some what overdone hospitality , both In London nnd at Cliveden , complains of his brusque rudeness as a host. Recently smart society rang with n contretemps at Cliveden. Lady Husband , of the aelectest set , accompanied by n maid and valet , on arriving to join a house party at Cliveden , was curtly Informed liy the servants that there was no room for them. They asked to see Mr. Astor iind got a reply that be was engaged , and were then ehown to a tiny bedroom with a single bed for one person. They Informed the house keeper they could not sleep In such a place and word was brought that there was no other accommodation for them. They went down Blairs , and , meeting the host In tb liall , Ixidy Husband said ; "I nra eorry , I onvut return to town by the next train. " 'Ator ' replied : "Good-bye , " then said to his llunkey "Order the carriage at once , " , turned on his heel and left his guests. This is one of the unpleasant forms ot eccentric ! , tics Cliveden's owner takes. It Is quite understood here that his ambition Is , by heavily Bubddlzlng the lory party , to get o title in n few jears It is merely a matter of money. A million dollars Judiciously ex pended on election funds would certainly se cure n peerage after some ) cars , nor will lkcr be n y difficulty If h wants to cater Parliament , as there Is a lory member there now who was only naturalized the day pre ceding his nomination , Protest \Rnliint Overwork. Dr. Alexander Hill , vice chancellor of Cambridge university , has raised a topic ot burning Interest to this age of competitive education in hurling a fierce Indictment at the system of giving monetary scholastic rewards to boya during their echool and uni versity course He said one of the greatest defects of modern non-residential schools Is the absence of safeguards against unreason able work. This overwork danger is foetcred by the scholarship system , which also in culcates a wrong conception ot learning ; that boys acquire It solely for a monetary reward The scholarship boy was the boy with an early developed brain whoso further development , mental and physical , Is checked by early overwork. "Wo should not cultivate normal pre cocity , " says he , "but educate the boy ao that when he Is 25 bo will be a man ot solid parts The only safeguard against unrea sonable work is the atmosphere ot athletics , that grand atmosphere , which , like air oxi dized , destroys many germs that if left to develop would play havoc with the health of bojs physically , intellectually nnd mor ally" * While Dr. Hill Is denouncing precocious learning Dr. Remond , a French scientist , an- nouncco n discovery by means of which the mental processes of jouth are quickened and accelerated by the application of elec tricity. Remond asserts that the cultivation of mental powers can be pushed to a far higher point by the application of the clec- trlo current. The cerebellum , which has been prepared by a course of electric shocks , shows Immense superiority In the assimila tion of teaming , according to Remond , to one In a natural state. London Is now a desert , inhabited prob ably by not more than 2,500,000 people , but still Its emptiness has been unmistakable for the past week. Since the schools closed there has been an enormous exodus to sea side resorts. The great railway termini swarm with families of all sorts nnd condi tions , all going to the country or seaside. Hvery year this exodus becomes bigger , and this year It has vastly exceeded all prece dent. The West End seems like a city of the dead. A fortnight ago Piccadilly thronged with people nnd the roadway was incessantly blocked with carriages. Now It Is a dreary , untonnnted waste , the police men having undisputed possession of the sidewalks and omnibuses of the r mil way , This wholesale flight from stuffy London , not only of the well-to-do but of the tolling masses. Is conclusive proof of the general prosperity of which there are so many other manifestations.

Contrary to all tradition , Grundy daringly makes Charles Hawtrey's duke of Ormo the most likeable character in the play , an easy-going philosopher for whom advancing years own no terrors. Two degenerate millionaires are Introduced , one a purae-proud vulgarian who lives only for his millions ; the other , richer , but the poor 3t of all his set , for ho can enjoy nothing wealth procures.

Tha best authority possible Is Skipper Carter himself , and in an Interview yesterday ho Bald : "I still unwaveringly bcltevo Shamrock to ba the fastest boat that ever competed for America's cup. Shamrock really did not try against Britannia and the races , as ex haustive tests , were useless. Hogarth hid to obey orders , but the first two tacks of the first race out from Hyde convinced mo what the challenger Is. Our American friends are welcome to the task ot trying to beat her with the Columbia. The Co lumbia , In my mind , Is a failure If the story of her steel mast bo true they ha\o overdone the lightness. Young Fife is well to windward this time in lightness. With fair play and no favors we shall sco the cup como back. " Ben Parker , skipper of the Meteor , said : "I am going to America for the races , but though Hogarth and Wrlnge nro great friends of mine , I shall not sail on the Shamrock. M } advlcje , If asked on any point , would naturally bo given , but you are authorized to say that whatever I way do will be due to friendship merely. I raced Britannia for all the Meteor was worth , and even with all the success of HIP emperor's boat I think more of Shamrock. Steel masts are new to Herreshoff and the accident was the result of lightness. I consider that Klfo has done well and beaten Hcrreshofl this time , and Americans will say em later. Regaining the cup will mean a big boom to British yachting , for American sporting people would not , If they could , let the cup ctay here , but , after all , we arc duo to a turn-this Bide. It we cannot beat-them , wo can show we think worlds ot them as sports men. My impression Is that Shamrock will win after racing Britannia here. I know all ntiout It. " I am authorized by Llpton to deny posi tively the report that Ben Parker Is en gaged by him In any way In connection with sailing Shamrock In the cup contest : "I have complete confidence in the ability of Hogarth and Wrlnge to do the best possi ble with Shamrock.

That question Is now agitating the minds of the lord chan cellor of England and the Scottish law of ficers of the crown. _ Mr. Carnegie , within the last few weeks , has been appointed a Justice of the peace for Sutherlandshlro by the duke of Sutherland , lord lieutenant of that county in which Carnegie's splen did place , Sklbo castle. Is situated. No one who Is not a British subject can bo a magis trate , because when he takes his scat on the bench the first time he takes an oath of allegiance to Queen Victoria When your correspondent heard today that Carnegie had been appointed a magistrate he went stralcht to Home Secretary Ridley and asked whether such nn appointment was possible in the case of an alien. He got this reply "Of course not ; no one could be eligible who IH not a British subject. Fancy a Britisher being tried by an alien In his own land. The Idea Is absurd" "But all naturalizations take place through you. Have you signed a certificate for Carnegie ? " I asked , "Not that I remember , and of course I should remember It in , the case nf Mr , Car negie. I remember signing Aster's certifi cate quite well. There * must be some role- take. " I then naked the same question of Lord Advocate Graham Murray , the Scottish equivalent of attorney general , who said ; "If Ulr. Carnegie is not a British subject then ho certainly cannot hold her raajesty'o commltHlnn of the peace" I showed him the official list with the name , "Andrew Carnegie , Sklbo , " Included in It The lord advocate said : "It is nn error ; there Is no way by which an nllen could bo made , a Justice of the peace. I nns not consulted about the ap pointment , else It would not have been made. The duke of Sutherland must have been mis led , but It Is impossible to believe the fact that Carnegie's American citizenship did not occur to tha duke of Sutherland as an effectual bar to such an appointment. Per haps he took legal advice , I can't Ray. " Attorney General for Ireland Atkinson concurred In the view expressed by the other two ministers , as did Sir Charles Dilke and Solicitor General Finlay , all being emphatic that the lord chancellor Is the minister who actually confers such appointments and In consequence my Inquiries for the facts were brought under his notice last night. In the meantime Thomas B Curran , M. P. , In no spirit of unfriendliness to Mr , Carnegie , but merely to have this curious constitu tional point cleared up , will ask the lord advocate Monday In the House of Commons whether Carnegie has been appointed and whether he Is a British subject and If not whether the appointment Is legal , I teleeraphed the facts to Carnegie at his Scottish homo , askln : for information con cerning his status , though quite certain h'e bas no Intention of being naturalized. Our correspondent at Inverness. In reply to n telegraphic inquiry , wires : "Carnegie was officially gazetted as Jus tice of the peace on recommendation of the duke of Sutherland on June 24. He has not so far taken bU seat on the bench or exer cised any ot the functions ot a magistrate. because there has been no meeting of the magistrates since his appointment.

( New York World Ca- blcgram-ispeclal Telegram. ) The reported engagement of Lady Randolph Churchill to n.nrry the vouthful Lieutenant Cornwnllls- West continues to bo n nlno days' wonder. Yet the friends of both Insist that It Is not unexpected , as the lieutenant's infatuation for her was plainly shown In London last winter , when ho was constantly with her. Still , few fancied that she would accept a suitor so young. It was said nt first that the engagement was announced by the lieu tenant's mother , Lady Cornwnllis-Wost , vho Is about contemporary with Lady Randolph , nnd was one of the most famous beauties of her day. But that repoit needs nuthcntlca. ton. ! ton.Tho The belief Is prevalent , on the contrary. tint both the young man's father nnd mother consider the match unsuitable on account of the disparity in age. Lady Randolph Churchill looks jount. Her hair Is raven black , her flsure stout , tout comely , her manner vivacious and her Interest In llfo unslaked. She has nothing to gain socially by such an alliance , as her family already is In the most exclusive set. The lieutenant's jjlder ( sister , Princess Henry of Pless , bolnc beautiful nnd Im mensely rich , Is hucely admired even by royalty , and if she chose could be a lender In society. His younger unmarried sister , Constance Edwlnn. Is pretty , too , and popu lar , having the Irish wit of her mother. She Is sild to be. as recently cabled , privately engaged to marry the younc Viscount Bel- grave , the heir ot the duke of Westminster. This viscount has tocen sent to South Africa for a year to think the matter over , nnd then , if both remain of the same mind , they will marry. If they do nnd Lady Randolph becomes the bride of Lieutenant Cornwall Is-West , she will find herself for the second time In her life , should she live , lens enough , the sister-in-law of a duke. The first congratu lation Lady Randolph and her fiancee re ceived -was from the prince of Wales. Since then congratulations have boon pouring In , as Lady Randolph Is popular and nr con siderable figure In society. Young West w 111 be wealthy. Tie will have at least $75,000 a year , though at present ho lives on an allowance ot $5,000 from hla father. The present arrangement is to have the marriage take place In London In October , but the comment of everyone who knows the parties is : "There's many a eip" | lst the cup nnd the UP.

( New York World Cablegram Special Telegram ) Hypnotism is said to be the Influence exerted iy Mrs. Klngscoto over young Lord Byron nnd two respectable count : y parsons to induce them to ruin themselves to provide money for her li'sano speculations. She got $250,000 from Byron and $200,000 from the parsons , all three mortgaging everything they possessed to raise the money. She Is not good looking , but has the mar velous gift of plausibility and an ovorpow- erlngly strong will. She treats her vic tims with indescribable ingratitude. At her husband's request Byron once engaged a coach for her , for which a bill ot $35 was sent Byron. At this time ho was already ruined and forwarded the bill to MrsKingecote _ , who replied in the follow ing laxlyliko strain : "You can go bankrupt or not , as you like , for there Is no bigger cad In England * than you or a bigger idiot. " This letter was read at Byron's bank ruptcy proceedings , during which Mrs. Klngsooto left England to avoid going on the witness stand. Her father. Sir Henry Drummond Wolff , British ambassador at Madron , is broken down by these dlsclos- uies and meditates early retirement , but her husband , Colonel KIngscoto , eoma tlmo equerry to the prince of Wales , is her un daunted champion , defending her on cvoiy hand. A question of forging a bill of $12,500 cropped up In the bankruptcy pro ceedings , for which she may bo prosecuted.

( New York World Ca blegram Special Telegram ) Herr Montage , the Inventor of artificial coal , appFled to for particulars of bis fuel , says : "I have taken out patents In seventeen countries. Until all formalities are completed I can give no particulars of the ingredients , but I may say from any point of view that the hygiene artificial coal is preferable to the ordinary coal , as it does not develop any poisonous gases nnd creates little coot ; It leaves no stag and a small amount of ashes resembling wood or cigar osbes. There is no danger of an cxplonlon causing a conflagra tion. This fuel Is composed of 92.94 per cent of ordinary earth and 6 to 8 per cent of chemical ingredients. It is cheaper nnd bet ter than coal. Any place of land , even if it Is unfit for agriculture , can bo used for pro ducing the fuel , The cost of the necessary plant Is a very low price- , the machines weighing only 750 pounds for a steamship. For ateam engine purposes my fuel gives a great deal longer combustion and needs loss storage e-pace. U can be manufactured in any shape , so that every available inch of epaco in the coat bunkers can be utilized , and I reckon a ton ot my fuel will do the work of one and three-quarter tons of steam coal at 30 per cent less cost.

A1 * Colonel Plcquart entered the carriage which Maltie Liborl , counsel for Captain Dreyfus , had watting for .him In the station vard , some of the spectators shouted "Vive PL-quart" and "Vivo Drey fus.
