IONDON. Nov. .-(Specil.) King Ed
ward want to remodel Buckingham Pal
ace. That la not urprlslng. for externally,
at leant, the London royal residence li
hideously plain. It Is a fact that several
of the workhouses which have been re
cently erected In London are far more
picturesque and pleasing to the eye. But
to make the transformation In Bucking
ham Palace which his majesty desires
a new facade among other things Is part
of the scheme would cost something like
MO,ono. That Is more than the king can
afford to pay himself. And an application
to Parliament for a grant for that pur
pose would meet with the strenuous op
position of the labor party, and cause
some nasty things to be said. The king
la too tactful a man, and values hla
popularity too highly to expo hlmaelf to
criticism from that quarter.
And yet he might get the Job done with
out costing himself or the nation a cent.
Since hla wlshea In the matter became
known aeveral rich men have Intimated
their wllllngneaa to subscribe the amount
required. And among the most generous
of these would-be patrons of needy roy
alty are some American multl-mllllonalrea
and multi-millionairesses. They would be
only too delighted If they were permitted
to provide the whole sum. There are no
people who put a hlghir cash value on
royalty's favor than those who seek here
what they can't get In the new world.
It would be queer If Buckingham Palace
should be remodelled with American
money. But somehow I don't believe It
will. I think the king will conclude that,
all things conaldered, he had better put
up with Buckingham Palace aa It Is.
lira. Letter Is Depressed.
Mrs. Letter has never recovered from
the shock of her daughter Mary'a death,
and remains moody and depressed. Her
daughters and her son-in-law, Lord Cur
con, have done everything to rouae her,
but with little success. She haa been for
aome tlmo endeavoring to buy Tulloch
Castle, which haa aome of the loveliest
gardens In all Scotland, In order. It la
aald, that aha may one day be burled
there.
. It la by no means an unusual custom In
the Land o' Cakea for people to decide
to be burled In their own gardens. Mrs.
Lelter may, of course, grow out of the
morbid notion, but at the moment It Is
very much In her mind. It was auggeated
to her aome little time ago when ahe
happened to be visiting a well-known
Scotch peeress. While driving up the
avenue the graveyard waa pointed out to
her and later her hostess called her at
tention to It as she aat at tea In the draw
ing room from the wlndowa of which It
waa visible. The Scotch are Celts and
like all that clan a strain of melancholy
runs through their temperaments. Hence
the gruesome notion,
Conenelo'e Coronet Brilliant.
, I am told the dinner and reception at
the Spanish Embassy In London for the
king and queon of Spain waa badly or-
ganlzed and many of the people Invited
to the reception never got any supper at
' all soma not even a glaaa of wine or an
Ice. There were only about half-a-doaen
Americana Invited, theae being people
who for aoclal and diplomatic reaaona dare
- not be left out, aa for Instance Conauelo
ducheaa of Manchester, Mm, da Dora-
lngues and the Whltelaw Relda. Conauelo'a
coronet eclipsed every other specimen of
feminine head-gear worn. Even the queen
of Spain's looked Insignificant beside Its
daxsllng whlta glory, and the renowned
Portland diamond which the ducheaa of
that Ilk bad In the center of her diadem
waa not more brilliant than that which
flashed on the American dowager'a crown
Haa she had It enlarged of later It seemed
ao to those who saw It.
The king of Spain ahook handa right left
and center with everyone he met, but the
queen did so with only a privileged few,
She haa a great deal of dignity, yet Strang
to say though Alfonso cornea from the
land of grandeea he la an out and out
democrat-
He la again taking ordera for hla aherry,
which he calmly Introducea at every party
aa the only wine In the world worth drink
ing. Last time he waa over here he did a
roaring trade for hla private vlneyarda,
and this year he Is again touting all over
the place and with equal success.
Admitted to Wrong; lloaae.
An Incident which took place at Belgrav
square In Lady Paget' drawing-room la
being much discussed. Shortly before her
daughter's marriage, the princess of Wales
and Princess Victoria came to see the pres
ents which were given to Leila Paget. Aa
their royal highnesses were having tea a
man who waa quite unknown to the hostesa
was announced. Lady Paget Immediately
came forward, ahook handa with him, and
offered him a aeat aa she proceeded to give
him tea. She aoon noticed that he va In
abject misery, but kept on addressing him
and trying to draw him Into a general con
veraatlon an uphill struggle, for the two
prlncessea she waa entertaining are noted
for anything hut liveliness. After a little
while the royalties, to the hostess' Infinite
relief, announced their departure and went.
It waa then the third visitor turned to his
hostess and said:
"I have discovered that I have made a
mistake In the number and come to the
wrong house to pay a ceremonIM call atter
a dinner party. Can you forgive me?"
lady raaet declared that she could, In
vited him to have another cup of tea. and
suld all was well that ended well. Now he
has become a fast friend of the family.
When relating the stor the man raid to
hla friends:
"Py Jove If I had made that mistake in
the house of an Kngllsh woman, she would
have sent her servants in search of the
police to have me removed."

BRIDE LEASES STONOR PARK
American Millionaire Widow Create
Benaatlon on Marriage In
England.
LONDON, Nov. S3. (Special.) When the
engagement of Mra. Richard McCreery, th
American widow, to"Hnry Coventry, third
aon of th earl of Coventry, waa announced
English aoclety folk cynically asaumed, of
courae, that the young fellow waa going
t marry money. But It waa not generally
known what a rich matrimonial prla he
had captured until Mr. .McCreery fur
nished tangible evidence of the extent of
her wealth by leasing Stonor Park for a
long term of years.
Stoner Park la one of the moat desirable
realdences In the Thamea valley and la
situated In the midst of a beautiful park.
The house Is aituated near Henley, where
the famous annual rowing regatta la held.
It Is a big, rambling, old Elizabethan man
sion, in striking contrast to Jhe aort of
residence millionaire build nowaday with
an ey only to luxury, comfort and con
venience. But It possesses those things
which American eem to hold In con
tampt In their own land 'and prise so highly
here antiquity and historic associations.
It la the ancestral horn of Lord Camoy,
after whose family patronymic. Stoner, the
place 1 named. The Oamoys trace their
descent from Ralph da Camola. one of
King John'e bold, rebellious baron. The
preaent baron la only 24 yeara old. He
hasn't money enough to keep tip Stonor
Park. And unlike moat Impecunious, ac
tual or prospective. British peers. Instead
of devoting hla youthful energlea to finding
an accommodating American heiress to
share hi title and replenish the family
exchequer, he I going In for the diplo
matic service and hope to win distinction
ther.
Mra, McCreery haa also leased a hand
some town house In fashionable South
Audley street from Captain Alwyne Ore
vllle and Is going to spend a mint of money
fixing It up. No wonder Henry Coventry's
friends are now congratulating him on hla
luck. Hla personal Income la only a moder-
ate one; he Isn't the sort of man who would
ever succeed in muking a big fortune him
self, and, aa the third aon, only a aery
remote prospect of ever succeeding to the
title and estate. But when married to
Mra. McCreery and the wedding la to take
place In a few weeks he will be hand
somely provided for for life, and will never
be under the necessity of working for a
livelihood. One wondera tf th late Rich
ard McCreery would have worked so hard
if be could have foreseen fur whom he was
laying up money. 3o far aa Mr. Mc
Creery la concerned, at least, there I no
doubt that it is a love match. Bhe 1011M
have had the plt-k of half a dozen peers
if It was a tltl me't'ely that ahe coveted.
There Is buaineaa blood In the Coventry.
The foundations of the fnrnlly fortune
were laid In trade by one John Coventry,
who was lord rpayor of London early In
the fifteenth century, thouih the earldom
dates only from the reign of Wlllim III.
The present generation of worthy John
rjoventry's descendants are keenly nlive t
the advantages of American matrimonial
ollltnces. for the enrldom Is not a rich
one. The eldest son and heir, Lord Deir
hurst. set the example om thirteen years
aeo by marrying Miss Virginia Daniel, a
step-daughter of Charles Honyngr. The
second son. Charles Coventry, followed it
by meriting nnnther Anierirun licirees.
Miss KtUhugh Whitehoisse of Newport. K
I, And now the third aon la aoon o follow
aull. From the base and ejrdlil pecuniary
point of view he la making a better match
than elther-ff hla two elder hrothera.

FLORENCE. Nov. 23. (Speclal.)-Slgnor
E. Mayor dca Plar.chea, Italian ambassador
to Washington, Is publishing In the Italian
review, Nuova Antologla, an Interesting
series of articles concerning hla Journey
acrtss the United States from Washington
by the Southern Pacific route to California.
Especially waa he pleaaed with New Or
leana, which, he aaya, interests him as do
Philadelphia and Boston, In that it has a
past. Rejoicing that no reporters knew of
hla presence, he wandered about the old
world named atreeta of the French quarter,
visited the cathedral, the French markc.
the homea of Creole friends, and at a Creole
club he heard a discussion of hi own race.
"What prejudice." he write, "they still
have In regard to us I According to these
gentlemen, all of our Sicilians are united
In a secret aoclety; all, through hatred, be
cauae of the vendetta, or by command,' are
ready to ataln their hands with the moat
ferocious crlmea, are ready to adoot all
means, firearms, stilettos or, Just now,
pieferably polaon, because of Ita amaller
chance of discovery."
Ha adda that when theae crlmea occur
among Italian nothing la done, but the
cltlxena at once rlae If the victim be Creole
or American.
-With th fairness which pervade hla
article. Slgnor Mayor de Planchea states
that other complalnta made against the
Italians have much better foundation, ii
being true that In New Orleans they live en
tirely to themselves and under wretched
conditions; alao. that they do not become
American and that wealth falls to develop
In them a spirit of philanthropy, as in other
nationalities, notably the Hebrews.

Italian Library System.
At preaent. th American Literary asso
ciation la receiving much attention from
Itallana who are making great effort to
perfect library ytem In Italy on lmllar
lines.
Slgnor Quldo Blagl, librarian of the Lau
renxlana library of Florence, has written,
a stirring article on th deficiencies of
Italian libraries. H give an outline of
the American system, pralsea the reaults
attained, describes the training schoola for
librarians and urgea Italy to go and do
likewise, England, he declarea, la far be
hind the United States' and he adda that
the English Library association "though
her older alater, la an old spinster, a
childless old maid. In comparison with the
American Library association."
Senator Arcollo has taken the matter to
the senate and the Italian Parliament has
had repeated to them, parts of ' Frank
Pierce Hill's recent speech on the functions
of the public libraries.
As an accompaniment to the move
ment, book club are being started, and the
publishers, authors, Journalists and librari
ans of the Abruzxl have begun the work
of collecting every volume In existence
which has been written upon that section
of Italy. The Union of Italian Women,
not to be out of things, has offered a prize
of 1,000 lire to any woman who shall write
a volume, to commemorate the centenary
of Garlluldl. which shall be Judged by
a committee to be suitable and enter
taining reading for the women of the
people.
Cottage Home Foanded.
Slgnor Fogazcaro, the author of "The
Saint," ha begun to put some of the
principle of the book' Into active prac
tice. In eenifectlon with a small group of
co-worktra, he la engaged In founding in
Ituly what are known In England aa
ctttuge homes. The plan Is to take poir
children who are parrntlees or neglected
and place them In simple homes, called
"Aslli-familla," In charge of some woman
capable of caring for them aa a mother,
aijfnor Focaxraro holds that many child
let's women are natural mnthera, and.
that if he can only find the required num
ber of these to a!st him, his plan will
surely succeed. At present he and his co
workers are making an experiment which
he hopes may later develop Into a wide
spread work.
Four unfortunate children are to be gH-en
Into the care of ope mother who will es
tablish her little household In the country,
on the economical lines of the household of
a pessant. The children will assist her In
th household tasks and will have for food
polenta, or what, In the south, la called
aoft corn bread, salads, vegetable, chest
nut and fruit, the ordinary diet of the
country. The small sum of 10 cents a day
will be paid for the living of each child
One "Aalll-famllia" has already been es
tabllshed at Velo d'Astlco.
Poet Attract Attention.
A poet who has been attracting much at
tention Is Fausto Salvatort, winner of the
prise of 15.000 offered by the Sonsogno Pub
lishing company for th best libretto. Th
title of hi work 1 "Feat del Orano," and
It waa given to Maecagn4 to consider for
th subject of hi next musical composition.
He ha declined, however, on the ground
tbat h cannot make philosophy Into music.
Slgnor Salvatort himself has not found his
laurala ay waarlag. 11 waa lately In-
vited by the popular University of Milan
to appear there one afternoon and read
hla new verses, "Terra Promessa" by
name. The invitation was accepted and
the poet, manuscript in hand, made his
bow to the audience, which to his sur
prise had Its eyes fastened upon copies of
the "Corrlers delta Sera," Milan's leading
Journal. To hla chagrin he found that this
enterprising newspaper, by some means,
had secured and published his poems be
forehand and all had been read by hla aud
ience. But the Queen Mother Margherlta poured
balm on his wounded feelings by summon
ing the author of the "Terra Promoesa"
before her, and conversed for an hour and
a half with him, praising his conception
of the poem, which describes the aspira
tions of humanity toward the life of per
fect freedom. In it human existence Is
described as a passage from the very sim
ple life to the pastoral, then through that
of passion to that of tyrrany, and onward
to the birth of a liberator. Ood plays.no
part in the scheme of Salvatorl. Ho
teaches that mind and work are the true
liberators of humanity. The various odea
of his poem are dedicated to "The Will,"
"Machinery," etc. Ia It a wonder that Mas
cagnl quailed before the weight of a libretto
laden down In similar fashion?
The poet and musician, however, con
tinue friends In spite of many prophesies
to the contrary.
BOMB THROWER'S SAD PLIGHT

the woman who threw a bomb at General
Skalon, governor of Warsaw and, aided

The prisoner Is a strikingly pretty woman
of the Polish type and Is as Intelligent as

many admirers, one of whom, an Austrian,
she married.
It waa not long, however, before "the
aecret police of Russia tracked her and
her arrest followed. In spite of a plea
that by marriage she had become an
Austrian subject.
Dr. Llebermann, socialist leader, will de
fend the woman before the Vienna landes

cided, ahe muflt be tried. If the decision
Is against her ahe will lose her life.

ST. rKTERSBURQ, Nov. 28 (Speclal.)-
Red tape la the bane of official life In all
countries, but Russia can now lay claim
to the prize, If there is one, for the worst
red tape blunder In all the world.
1 ne racts nave Deen tola men by a man
who knows. It was scarce more than a
fortnight ago. The aoane waa a govern
ment pos-offlce on the outskirts of thla
city. The branch offices are quite similar
to those In the United Statea excepting that
the buildings are much larger and uaed ex
clusively for government business.
In district office No. 72, or bureau 73, as
It Is called here, there are some thirty em
ployes. Much money la handled there, aa
all branchea of government buaineaa are
conducted In the place.
It waa a wet day and noon waa atrlklng
on the clocks. The clerks were Just about
to start off In relays for their dlnnera.
Customers had all departed. Suddenly a
acore of men walked quietly Into the place.
They were armed to the teeth. A few
cloaed tho doors, other stationed them
selves at the windows while the remainder
with revolver cocked, marched behind the
railing and forced all the government em
ployes Into one corner, where they were
compelled to stand with hands held up.
I said all the employes, but there was
one, a more slip of a girl, who happened
to be In one of the cloak rooma at the
moment.
Girl Wa Overlooked.
The gang of men were revolutlonlsta. The
leaders secured the keys and opened all the
safes and drawers and cupboards. While
they were all busy counting the money,
searching for more or guarding the pris
oners, the little girl, Alga MaJImovltch,
crept silently Into the back room. She
was a telegrnphlst and unobserved man
aged to reach one of the Instruments con
nected with the general postoffice. With
one hand ahe held down the aounder ao
that the telegraph worked allently. With
the other ahe worked the key. Frantically
ahe called the central office. Had ahe
been observed the revolutionists would Im
mediately have blown her brains out. nut
they were busy rifling the registered mall
and transferring all the valuables to small
sacka which they had brought with them.
Olga MaJImovltch felt rather than heard
the answering signal of the main office.
Hurriedly she sent the message: "Bandits
are in possession of Bureau 72. Send help
at once. Be quick. They have opened the
safes and are rifling the registered mall.
There are twenty men. We are all prison
era. Quick, for the love of God.
She repeated the message and then stole
allently away to the aecurlty of the cloak
room. There ahe waited with bated breath
and beating heart for the aound of tho
coming of the police and aoldiera.
No Rnah of Feet In Reaponae.
But there wa no ruah of feet, no fierce
commands, no aounds of ehootlng. The
minute passed and at twenty minutes past
noon the band of revolutionists unbarred
the doors, stole out with their plunder and
disappeared. They had taken something
over J2.000.
Far a few .minutes the employea were
still too dazed to do anything but herd
together. Then Olga rushed from her
hiding place 'and told them of what ahe
had done. The employea praised her.
kissed her, wept over her for her bravery.
They still feared the bandits were lurking
outside and prayed for the arrival of the
police.
They were atlll wondering at the non
arrival of help when the telegraph Instru
menta began calling bureau 72. The chief
clerk hurried to. the Instrument. He re
aponded to the signal and the receiving ap
paratus began ticking off a message. When
It finished the stunned chief tore off the
tape and handed It to his fellow employes.
The message was from the prefecture of
police. It read: "If you really desire as
sistance will you please employ the official
formula usual, in such cases!"

THREE INDEFATIGABLE BENSON BROTHERS
LONDON, Nov. 23. (Special. )-Of late a pies th place of honor In most of the
good deal of quiet fun has been poked at dally papers, on the subject of "Literary
those three Indefatigable brothers, the Ben- Courtesy." It seems that a writer In th
sons, sons of the late archbishop of Can- Tribune, telling of his experiences in con
terbury, whose books literally pour out of vernation with railway portera and auclt
the press. Now the Roman Catholic mem- people, mentlona having asked a certain
ber of the trio. Father Hugh, haa an- I guard in a aomewhat prlghtly fashion
nounced hi Intention of giving up active ' whether ha "believed that Mr. A. C. Ben-
aon writes his books with a yard
measure."
Thla did not please Mr. Benson at all,
and he wrote a letter to the Tribune about
a qunstlon which ha long occupied him,
"The Limit of Literary Courtey." And
then he went on to suggest that aa this
would not be exactly a tactful remark to
make before Mr. Benson' face at a lunch
eon party, ha failed to aee why It waa mora
graceful or justifiable aald behind hla back
In a newspaper.
Then the atorm began. Such well known
men aa Andrew Lang and William Archer
publicly expressed their opinion that, with
all respect to Mr. Benson and hla delight
ful talent, they think hla remarks quit lr
relevant. They wlaely auggeat that If all
criticism la to be reduced to th level of
what you would ay to the author himself
at a lunoheon party, there simply would
not be any criticism left. Incidentally lomi
of them hint that although they would
hardly uae such a phrase aa "writing with
a yard meaaure," they think that Mr. Ben
son would do more Justice to his charming
pariah work and devoting himself to the
literary life, and critics are declaring that
hereafter It will not bee too much to expect
a monthly volume from one or another of
the Benson brothers.
The Benaons are no bellevera In literary
race suicide. The novelist, the theologian
and the poet-crltlc have covered at one
time or another nearly every province of
art and thought open to the pen. E. F.
Benson startles the nerves of the social
world every now and then With a stirring
novel, and then "A. C." soothes them
again with a peaceful book of essays.
Meanwhile occasional poems from the lat
ter and surmona and pamphleta from
Father Hugh aerve to keep the family per
petually In the public eye.
They are particularly prominent at pres
ent, not only on account of the new de
cision on the part of Father Hugh, but
for tho publication of Queen Wtorla'a let
ters, which have been edited by Lord Esher
and A. C. Benson. The three volumes have
been greeted as a sensational event in the
book world. And A. C. Benson Is also re
