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.

principal theatrical event for autumn.
Ortindy goes into smart society for his types
Langtry as Mrs. Trcvelynn , Is fashionable
beauty pist her meridian , whoso crows'-feet
are the tragedy of her life , and fretting nt
the prospect of the homo-coming of her 16-
} car-old daughter , whoso debut moans her
own extinction. 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

LONDON. Aug. 5 ( New York World Ca
blegram Special Telegram. ) The Meteor's
hollow 'beating ' of Urltanntn In four races
nt Cowcs this week caused gra\e misgivings
concerning the \n\ua \ of Shamrojk's per
formances against the prince's jncht , though
at the time it was declared Urltannla was
in its best form , Cowcs experts this wcclc
say its two jcara on the mud make It drag
and It is not the same boat It was. 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. "
STILL AN AMERICAN SUBJECT

( Cop > right , 1899 , by Press Publishing Co. )
LONDON , Aug. 5 ( New York World Ca
blegram Special Telegram. ) Is Andrew
Carnegie a British subject ? 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. "
Later I received the following ; telegraphic
dispatch from Carnegie In reply to my In
quiry
"I was appointed Justice of the peace when
the freedom of Dornoch was given mo. I
have never renounced my allegiance to my
country nnd have no Intention c < f doing so.
Itwas merely n complimentary ceremonial.

R. G. ( New York World Ca-

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.

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

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

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

BERLIN , Aug. B. ( New York World Ca

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. "

These shouts elicited counter cries of
"Abas Plcquart" from the
few antl-Droy-
fusltes present , but the bark ot the latter
was worse than their blto for not the slight
est attempt was made to carry out threats
which Colonel Plcquart utterly Ignored. Ho
did not give even a. glance to the shoutcrs
as his carriage drove quickly away to a pri
vate house in the town after a brief call at
Maltro Laborl's residence.
AnllatorH Keep Hip Pence ,
The authorities are appaiently becoming
anxious regarding the maintenance of tran
quillity In Hennes during the trial owing to
me invasion of the town by a crowd of nntl-
Dreyfuslte agitators and heroic police meas
ures were , taken this evening to Insure peace
.during'a couple of'opposition meetings. A
number of people assembled In the neighbor
hood of the houses In which the meetings
were held and this caused the police to
mobilize In the vicinity a number of foot
police and mounted gendarmes and a swarm
of detectives , but there was not the slight
est sign of disorder.
Cards of admission to the trial were Issued
this afternoon to the repre cntatlv es of the
press. Dvery two foreign correspondents
without exception received one card between
them which means that the leading papers
of the world outside of Prance will be able
to bo represented only every other day.
Captain Droyfus will bo conducted to the
court room which faces the military prison
across the broad Avenue do La Gare every
morning and returned in the evening be
tween a double row of gendarmes. Work
men have been busy today fitting up the
Sallo des Fctea In the Lyiceo for the trial
and the Installation of benches , desks , etc. ,
Is already practically completed. A Targe
crucifix has been brought from the military
chapel and hung behind the seats of the
Judges , which are placed on the stage. As
the Salic dcs Poles is really a theater , the
proscenium has been left untouched and
will form a frame for the scenes of the trial.

Sallna , with L. Helfl up. The pair came

opinion that Martin qulto outrode Rclff and
Beio&ford oucht to have won.
Huggins has bad a marvelous season and Is
second only to John Porter In the list of
winning trainers. The horses under his care
have already won thirty-six races , with nn
iggerate winning close to $150,000 , and prob
ably has not yet nearly como to the end of
success.
Racine will bo very quiet now until the
St. Legor , for which Plying Fox seems to
bo taking things very easily unless ho be
gins his long work shortly. The prospects
at Beresford'H Caiman winning are very
rosy. Then entries ifor the Czarewltch Cam
bridgeshire have Just appeared. The pros
pects for an American victory In the Czare
wltch nro not fbrlcht , as they depend en
tirely upon Beresford's Jiffy II , and J. S ,

however , Huggins will play a strong hand ,
