of Wales to Floors. It will come off when
the place Is really out of the bands of the

place at the request of the duchess, who

London's New Lord Mayor
LONDON, Oct. 19. (Special.) Sir John
Charlt s Hell is the new loid mayor of the
'! of London. Without crnrklng a smile
he went through the solemn farce which
goes by the name of an election. Then,
clsil In gorgeous robes, he submitted to
having a wonderful bejewelled gold chain
thrown around his Perk and was duly ac
claimed as the choice of the city for the
highest civic office In the land.
Everj body who takes sny Interest In tha
matter has known for yesrs that Sir John,
provided he wer alive at the time, would
be made lord mayor In H107. He qualified
for the office first hy getting admitted to
membership in one of London's ancient
guilds, thut of the Haberdashers. It made
no difference thut his business was that of
a brewer and that he knew no morn of
haberdashery than does the ordinary man
who goes shopping to replenish h's wnrd-
robe. The only other Btep necessary was
t) get elected "worshipful" alderman from
fome ward. After that all Sir John had to
do to btconie lord mayor was to sit tight,
lilie a mun in a barber's shop waiting to
he shaved, until he watj "next." .
As long ago as 12:5 King John, ,by char
ter, giant ed the citizens of London the
right to elect their own mayor. But some,
how tho aldermen fixed things up among
themselves so that each one of them, In
the order of seniority, should attain to the
coveted otllce. And thus, for ths last 200
years or more, the election . bas I been a
farce. But tho liverymen members of ths
old guilds that have long ceased to exist
as genuine trade organizations go through
the pretense, of voting for a candidate with
as much solemnity as though everything
waa not cut and dried beforehand.
As lord mayor Sir John gets $U,000 a
town for which he has always had a cer
tain penchant. His new house, a charming
one in the Royal Crescent, he has taken
on a lease of years. The interior is very
beautiful, having been designed through
out by the Adams brothers.
At Path, as everywhere else, he fights
shy of society. The house, nevertheless,
Is run on his usual magnificent lines, with
an Immense staff of servants to wait upon
him. When alone his table Is the most
frugal, but If he Is only lunching on a
sardine and a wafer of toast, thero are
three footmen In attendance.

8T. PETERSBURG, Oct. 19.-(Speclal.)-Remarkable
Indeed Is the melodrama of
revolutionary crime and retribution which
has been occupying attention In the Rus
sian press. Two men have lost their lives
and a third Is In hiding.
Paul Federoff, a young man of good fam
ily, joined a year ago tha revolutionary
party. One day there came to him a man
named Kazantseff, a revolutionary, who
posed as a reform leader. He had with a
purpose taken young Federoff under his
wing. Kszantzeff, In March last It was,
showed Federoff secret Instructions pur
porting to come from the head section pf
the party. .It ordered the two men to Jour-
ney to Moscow, and there assassinate a
man to be Indicated by Kasantieff. Fede
roff was to do the deed. The man was
pointed out and tho youth killed him and
tiien Mod.
The victim was M. Yolloe. a rising deputy
of the cadet party. Rut Federoff did not
know the victim's name or anything about
him. The affair having blown over. It was
considered Bafe, a short time ago. for FVde
roff to anpear once more In public- Then
for the first time be learned the identity of
his victim, and that M. Tollos had been In I
entire sympathy with himself and his col- .
leagues. Furthermore, he learned thut Yol-
los had in some way incurred the enmity
of KaiAntxeff. and that the latter haa
merely used Federoff as his tool ln a das
tardly plot of revenge. The Instructions I
from the head section of the party bad
been forged by Kazantzeff.
The latter soon learned that .the truth
was out and fled. Out his whereabouts
were discovered and Federoff met him face
to face. In hts fury Federoff hacked the
man literally to pieces. He then went to
the headquarters of the cadet party snd
delivertd himself up. confessing all that he
had done. The cadets have bidden him until
such time as It shall be determined ahat
action to take.

the directors and managers of the new

far as possible subscribed In Ireland. At
tho outset he will furnish the capital re-

the benefit of his experience until the Irish '

A beginning will be made at Arklow with

department to which attention will bo de

be capable of producing as good fruit as
Is grown anywhere In the world, yet Lon

even Dublin and Belfast, arc depending on
the continent of Europe for their fruit sup

has never considered his orchard ln the

made no attempt al Bortlng or grading and
still less effort to pack the fruit attract

I paid a flying visit to London a few weeks

WE DEN'S NEWEST LIQUOR LAW
no4'nr S-hetiie of Dividing; the)
Profits of the iothen-
luirg: Sjstem.
LONDON, Oct. 19. Alt Importait
change has gone Into effect In the lawf
regulating tho liquor trade In Sweden,
It luus been found necessary to alter tha
Gothenburg system of licensing, which
resorts to disinterested ownership as a
euro for excessive drinking.
It Is now recognized that critics ot
Its most essential feature were Justified.
Tho original aim was to apply all tha
profits after paying 5 per cent Interest
to the lmliierM of tho capital to boneflcont
purposes, nninh lial and nutional.
Tills must have worked out less nobly
than it sounds, fur it Is In tho allocation
of the profit.- that tho new law has had
to make a change. Municipal cupidity
had readied tho pitch of practically ob
scuring the moral purpose of tho system.
The owning company. known as a
"Uolag," Is the unit In which tho Gothen
burg system works Itself out. It duos
pot concern Itself with boor, In which,
there Is practically free trade, but con
trols the production and distribution ot
spirits, especially tho popular natlvo
spirit known as hrannvln. Thero waa
tern by the new net, but publlo opposi
tion was too strong and It was defeated.
Rural districts are now under tho sys
tem, which at first applied only to tha
towns. Among tho leading provisions o
the new act arc tho following: Not le.sa
than one liter of spirits may III future
he sold tor consumption off the premises)
tho hoard of directors of a bolag shall
cinsist of five members, of whom tlires.
shall be appointed by the shareholders,
one by the county council und one by tht
local agricultural society.
A new element In supervision Is thai
a representative of the local government i
board attends the meetings of each
bolatf, takes part In Its discussions, bul.
l-not ln Us decisions. At puduo enter
tainments spirits may not be served oa
the premises.
What Is chlelly novel ln the new no)
Is the provision for di aling -vlth ths
surplus profits of tho bolags. From ex
perience the country has learned that the.
policy of appropriating to the relief of.
local rates Die greater part of tho profits
has often demoralized municipal authori
ties. Many of Its first advocates ln Swedes
have admitted throughout that It waa
not simply the desire for promoting tem
perance that animated them. They fur
thered Its almost universal adoption by
pointing to the opportunity of largely
reducing local taxation by annexing th
profits of the trade.
Under the act of , 1805 lh Sweden 71
per cent of the surplus profits of tha
ooliigs went to the municipal authorities,
10 per cent to the local agricultural so
ciety and 20 per cent to the publla treas
ury for division (aniong the rural dis
tricts according to population. ' The nel
profits of the Uothenburg company alone
have Increased from $14,000 ln 1866 to
;36u,0O0 ln 1906.
The law now recognizes the danger ol
leaving 70 per cent of this sum in ths
hands of tho local authorities, which In
future will get a very much smaller pro
portion. The passage In the new aft
which deals with surplus profltB ls aa
follows: "In tho towns 29 per cent, to
gether with an additional percentage de
creasing from 19 per cent ln 1908 to 1
per cent ln 1920, will go to the municipal
authorities and tho balance will be paid
Into tho publlo troasury. Out of tha
amounts thus received by the treasury
the latter ls, first, to set aside an amount
equivalent to one one-hundn th part of all
tho tnxes and profits throughout the coun
try to further the temperance causa and
fight against tho evils of drunkenness,
and, secondly, to distribute among tha
county councils and towns independent of
I fhe countv coun(.,u a 8Um equivalent to
nn..flrMl '- ,hn Kt.rlt trade receipts
,-, ,i m.-al aerlcultural soeletlua
a Bum equivalent to one-eighth of tho to
tal spirit trade receipts. The remaining
funds are to be distributed by the treas
ury among the country districts accord
ing to population. The Intention of thesa
new provisions in to lessen the opportuni
ties of local cupidity."
