LONDON. Feb. 22. (Special.) Lord
Crew la hoping that aome rich American
mill coma forward and -purchase Crewe
house. Ma London mansion, which ha has
Just placed upon the market. That la be
causn the price he puta upon it ia one that
few English folk can afford to pay, and
unlets mme' one from the land of dollars
buya It, it la likely that he will have to
wait a long; time for a purchaser.
Crewe house la one of the oldest dwelling
houses aHill extant in the heart of London,
and when first built It vai a country house,
pure and simple, and stood In ita own park
like surroundings, quite Isolated, In the
Oays w.hcn highway robrrlra were matters
of constant occurrence, and when Georgian
courtiers, on their formidable Journeys by
coach from St. Jamea to Kensington, had
to face the terrors of the road. Standing
tar back. from the frontage or aristocratic
Curzon street, amid stately trees and
amooth-shaven lawns, It scema to breathe
a different atmosphere from that of Hie
bustling metropolla tyi which it la set. Iti
chief entrance, In a large courtyard, Is at
the tack of the house, and surrounded with
stables and outhouses auch aa are associ
ated with one's Ideaa of a large old fash
ioned country residence. In Ita Interior ar
rangements and decorations It resembles,
on a smsller scale, Ita stately contem
porary, Devonshire house, which fof so
long was the residence of Frlncess Anne
before she became queen,of England.
House Bought for Wife.
Lord Crewe bought the house a few yeara
go from the, executors of the late earl of
Wharncllffe. He paid $500,000 tor It and
is said to have spent nearly half as much
more In getting it fixed up. He la credited
with having made the purchase to please
his wife, the second " daughter of Lord
Rosobery, a brilliant woman and one
who, aa a political hostess, counts for
aomethlng on the liberal aide. The earl
la a remarkably able man, popular, good
looking and one of the pillars of his party
In the House ot Lords where it has few
aupporters. Society Is mystified as to why
ha wanta to aell the place. The obvious ex
planation would be that he needs the money.
But the gossips who profess to know every
thing about everybody's private affairs,
aay that he has plenty of money, and,
therefore, there must be some other rea
son. And that affords them opportunltiee
to hint at all aorta of thing domestic In
felicity among others.
The rumor haa gone forth that the duch
ess of Roxburghe may acquire Crewe
house. She has American money enough
to be well able to afford it, but on the
other hand she haa decidedly American no
tions aa to the sort of town house that Is
beat adapted to requirements of a twen
tieth century American duchess and is far
more likely to buy a site somewhere in
Mayfalr and build a modern palace upon It
according to her own Ideas. It is also re
ported that Mrs: Potter Palmer has an eye
on the place. But the Chicago widow's
purae la not at long aa that of the duchess
and I Imagine she would hesitate a good
deal before parting with the money it
would take to buy Crewe house. . Besides
she Is tied by a lease to Hampton house,
the big, barrack-like mansion of the duke
of Abercorn, in Green street.
Zimmerman Manages the Dolce.
English society credits every rich Ameri
can who comes hero with a burning desire
to entertain King Edward. Mr. Zimmer
man has taken the beautiful villa, Mllra
Sol, at Blarrlts, for his daughter, the
duchess of Manchester, and will occupy It
with her during the whole of the king's so
journ at that popular resort. Wherefore,
the wiseacres are saying his whole object
Is to get a chance to play the host to his
majesty. It may be so. Nobody really
knows but the Cincinnati magnate himself.
He would find the matter easy to arrange
If he obtained the help of the king's par-
THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL
raw People Know How Useful Xt Xa In
Preserving- Health and Bsauty.
Cost xrothlng to Try.
Nearly everybody knows that charcoal
la the safest and most efficient disinfect
ant and purifier In nature, but few rea
lise lt value when taken Into the human
system for the aame cleansing purpose
Charcoal Is a remedy th the more you
take of It the better; It la not a drug at
all. but Simply abaorba the gasses and Im
parities always present In the stomach
and Intestines and carries them out of the
system.
Charcoal sweetens the breath after amok
Ing, drinking or after eating onlona and
Other odorous vegetables.
Charcoal effectually clears and im
proves 1 the complexion. It whftens the
teeth and further acts as a natural and
eminently safe cathartic.
It absorbs the Injurious gases which
collect in the stomach and bowels; It dis
infects the mouth and throat from the
poison of catarrh.
All druggists aell charcoal in one form
or another, but probably the best char
scoal and the most for the money Is In
Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges; they are com
posed of the finest powdered Willow
charcoal, and other harmless antiseptics
In tablet form or rather In the form of
large pleaaant tasting losengea. the char
coal being mixed with honey.
Tha daily uae of these lozenges will
soon tell In a much Improved condition
ot the general health, better complexion,
sweeter breath and purer blood, and the
beauty ot It Is, that no poslble harm can
result from tbelr continued use, but, on
the contrary, great benefit.
, A Buffalo physician. In speaking of tha
benefits of charooal, says: "1 advise
Stuart's Charcoal Lozenge to all patients
suffering from gas In stomach and bowela,
and to clear the complexion and purify
tha brtath. mouth and throat; I also be
lieve the liver Is greatly benefitted bf
in aauy use or tnem; they cost but

of doing that he has tied him down to a

Bair l,adr,ra(ft.
Lady Paget Is Just now the busiest
woman In London. Scarcely a day pauses
but she motors to Coombs to see how. the
Improvements at the Warren are getting
on. When spring comes she means to take
up her abode there and will do all her vis
iting to London by motor.
At tha Warren she Is laying out what, she
intends shall be the most perfect specimen
of a Japanese. garden in England, beating
that at Holland House, the famous homo
of the Ilchesters In Kensington. The Dow
ager Lady Ilchester .was. the first to In
troduce the "Jap" garden to Londoners
and Imported a staff of Japanese work
men for that purpose. But the American
woman Intends to "out-Jap" the Japs them
selves In the horticultural line.
Lady Paget proposes to give no end of
garden parties, if the weather proves
propitious next summer and a special fete
she Intends to organise will be an evening
garden party when every, one will be asked
to come In Japanese attire and the grounds
will be lighted with Japanese lanterns, and
Japanese fireworks will be let off.
At last Lady Paget has discarded her
walking-sticks which she used after she
dispensed with crutches and now, save for
a slight limp, she Is herself again.
Husbands Rarely In Evidence.
There are several American women here
whom half society takes either for widows
or divorcees. This Is because the usual
American husband so rarely makes an
appearance at his wife's "shows." He Is
either in the "city" seeing what he can
scrape up in the money market, or promot
ing a company. For years before the death
of John Mackay his wife was regarded as
a widow. One night shortly before his
death when he helped to receive the guests
with his wife and took Princess Christian
Into supper, the whisper went round that
Mrs. Mackay had married for the second
time and the guests were dying to find out
"who her husband was."
Scores of people still take Mrs. New
house for a rich American widow. In fact,
she haa had aeveral "offers" from her
numerous adorers who have been dumb
founded to hear that she has a busy
husband to whom she is most devotedly at
tached. The fact is Newhouse Is only
happy when he is looking after his Copper
mines In Utah and his other big Interests
and making more money for his wife to
spend. The Jewels he has given her alone
are worth over SS00.C00. LADT MART.
LIFE SENTENCE FOR TREASON
French Cnslam Sentenced to Life 1m
prlsoument In Fortress for
- Selling- Secrets.
TOULON, France, Feb. 22-Charles. B.
Ullmo, an ensign in the French navy has
been found guilty by a court-martial or
attempting to sell naval secrets to a foreign
power and sentenced to life Imprisonment
In a fortress and to ba degraded from his
rank.
Ensign Ullmo was arrested at Toulon on
October 25 on the charge of being a spy.
An examination of his effects showed him
to be In possession of many valuable docu
ments and he afterwards having abstracted
a complete signal code and the naval
cipher. An army reserve officer named
Burton was afterwards arrested at Ven
dome on similar charges and at Toulon on
November 10, five ring loaders of an Im
portant association of International spys
were taken into custody. It la believed that
all these men were In some way connected
with Ullmo'a plan. The authorities fuund
evidence that Ullmo had offered to sell in
formation concerning the defenses ot
France to a German official.
Ullmo made a partial confession to the
charges brought against him and as a
result the French authorities decided to
order the reconstruction of the French
naval tactics.
The court decided unanimously that
Ullmo had abstracted military documents
involving the security of the state and had
communicated them to a foreign power
with the view of selling them. He had
not, however, actually disposed of the
papers. Counsel for Ullmo practically ad
mitted the facts aa charged, but asked for
clemency on the ground that Ullmo was a
victim of the opium habit and that he had
fallen under tha Influence of an unscrupu
lous woman for whom he had squandered
his fortune and ruined his life. Ullmo was
completely crushed when his sentence was
read.

LONDON TBLBTJNE SWALLOWS IT
American Ambaaaador Spent Wife's
Money to Afford Place for Son
on Graduation from
Collect.
LONDON, Feb. 22.-(Speclal.) London
newspaper circles are listening to an In
teresting and circumstantial story to the
effect thet Whitelaw Held, the American
ambassador, dropped 11,500,000 through the
suspension of the Tribune, the two-year-old
liberal daily which quit February 7 be
cause of lack of funds. The story goes
even further and says that the paper waa
compelled to bring its short career to a
close because Mrs. Reld, who controls the
strings of the ample Reld purse, refused
to Sanction a further Investment of the
Mills millions In the precarious venture.
It Is said that Mr. Reld originally In
tended placing his son in the London
Tribune office aa soon aa that chip of the
Reld block completed Ills studies at Har
vard. But of late Mr. Reld and his purse-
controlling wife are reported to have rued
the day when they first heard of the Trib
une. And with reason. A million and a
half la no small sum to drop even if one
is the daughter of D. O. Mills and Uvea
In one of the finest private palacee in
London.
Liberal Party Mouthpiece.
The Tribune a few weeka ago completed
Ita second year of life. It came Into exist
ence with the present English government
and waa believed to have been mora or
less of a mouthpiece of the liberal party.
Its principal backer was Franklin Thoma
son of Crewe, and for his aervlcea to his
party those on the Inside confidently look
forward to his being created a peer before

rector of Lloyd'a bank and financially and
actively interested in many Cheshire In
dustries. For some time past the. Tribune haa been
In a Bhaky financial condition. Two weeks
before the end notice was given that un
less the backers were able to raise more
money for a new lease of life the em
ployes would have to look elsewhere for
employment. Months' ago, when matters
'jfre bad and the paper steadily dropping
ITom $6,000 to $7,000 a week, J. C. Prjor, an
old New York newspaper man, was called
In and made managing editor. Bo greatly,
did he Improvo matters that the backers
are now certain that If they could have
secured enough money to have kept the
paper going for another year or so It would
have resolved Itself Into a paying venture.
Brought Son Methods Into Play.
Mr. Pryor was an old New York Sun
man, subsequently working for the New
York Recorder. He came to London and
secured an editorial position on the Dally
Mall; later he became managing editor of
the Daily Express, which ho left to assume
the management of the editorial depart
ment of the Tribune.
When seen .Pryor denied that the Amer
ican ambassador ever had any Interest In
the paper whatever, but I give the story
as It is being told here.
Yet another London publication Is said
to have appealed Ineffectually for Amer
ican dollars to save It from suspension.
William Waldorf Astor, tho erstwhile
American "multl," Is said to have been ap
proached for a loan of a mere $)0,000 to
save The Throne from the fate of the
Tribune. The throne is a gorgeous pro
duction which Ueats with court life and
the doings of the English "Smart Set," and
it waa pointed out to Mr. Astor that con
trol of such a paper would materially aid
his well known social Ambitions. But the
climber" refused to bite and The Throne
la looking elsewhere for a sucker.
The paper has already Ipst a small-slsed
fortune. The principal loser Is understood
to be Lord Armstrong, the head ot the big
gun manufacturing firm that bears tils
name. He la said to have dropped a cool
$500,000.

"Paddy" Miles Una an Alibi.
SIDNEY, Neb., Feb. 20-To the Editor
of The Bee: I am somewhat amused at
tho position of the World-Herald in rela'
tlon to the attitude of Nebraska repub
licans toward Mr. Taft. and as I under
stand It, that paper would have its read
ers believe that support of Mr. Taft Is
open and avowed hostility to the president
and his policies. The amusing feature of
It to me Is that that mouthpiece of the
discontented should manifest so much con
cern in a purely republican affair. Whllo
its position Is absolutely paradoxical Insofar
aa the relation of Taft republicans to
Rooscveltian policies is concerned, yet It
hopes to delude certain republicans Into the
belief that what It has to say upon the
subject Is Inspired.
In last Monday's World-Herald an effort
Is made to point out a conspiracy of more
than ordinary proportions, and among
otliera I am placed on the grill and roasted
to a turn. I am charged with having sup
pressed a primary election, and thereby
defeating the desire of the people to ex
press themselves as to their choice for
president, and again I am accused, as head
of the Cheyenne county delegation, with
having put up a Job on tho republican
county central committee to have a delega
tion of my own selection appointed, who
would be subservient to certain influences
desiring to control the convention.
In regard to this charge and accusatloA
I desire to say that they are absolute
falsehoods and are -without even the
shadow of truth. I rHd not attend the com
mittee meeting and much less did not even
know that there was to be a meeting, and
the first knowledge I had of It was when
a member of the committee Informed me
that I had been selected as a delegate.
The head of the delegation Is Paul Uorg
n.uiHt, who Is also chairman of the county
central committee, and he Is a very ptrong
La Follette man. Another member of the
delegation is for H'Jghes. The remainder
of the delegation are for Taft.
Yes, the screed In Monday's Issue was In
spired, and I am Just as well satisfied as
to the Identity of the author of It as If I
had seen him at work. It Is not the first
time lie has trained his guns on me, anil
I am quite familiar with the tmell of the
powder and the gunner. He has tried often,
but there Is no place in Nebranku politics
for. him, and I am surprised, knowing the
personality of the man 1 have in mind, that
he even ventures beyond the quarantine
limit. I would say to him and the paper
through which he seeks to givo vent to his
spleen, using the language ot Edmund
Burke, "Your affairs. In spite of us, are
made a part of our Interest; so far at least
as to keep at a distance your panacea, or
your plague. If It be a panacea, we do
not want It. We know the consequences
of unnecessary pliyxlc."

to the law which makes the vaccination
of school children compulsory. In The Bee
of Thursday, February 20, Mr. B. F. Coch
ran speaks of this ordinance and gives
his opinion of Health Commissioner Con
noll for his effort to enforce this law, and
In giving his opinion ho is certainly forc
ible If not elegant in his expressions. Aa
I understand from his letter Mr. Cochran
thinka that Dr. Connell is making himself
an "agent of tyranny" because he is en
forcing this law by which he la merely
doing hla duty aa he sees it. Mr. Cochran
says that some physicians would resign
before they would enforce this law, that
Is, do their duty. He aeema to think that
would be laudable In them and ao he
openly approvea of negligence of duty by
public officers. How you have lowered
yourself In the estimation of others, Mr.
Cochran.
And I notice that the same writer says
that some, perhaps all, members . of the
school board have been and are willing
agenta In the commission of this "out
rage." It Is barely possible that nearly all
citizens of Omaha, that la, law-abiding
citizens,, are helping the health commis
sioner in his work even though It does not
please Mr. Cochran.
Of courso Dr. Connell does not object to
anyone's thinking for one's self, provided
that one be capable of the right kind of
thinking, and that such thinking, when
erroneous doea not prove dangerous to the
health of the Inhabitants of this city, as
the noisy thinking of the anti-vaccination-lsts
ia apt to do.
Mr. Cochran also says that sportsmen
will go to the Plutto to shoot quacks, and,
further, that from his knowledge of the
medical men of Omaha theee sportsmen
might enjoy themselves In tho sa:ne way
right here In the city. Mr. Cochran, do
let us have tho pleasure of presenting you
to one medical man of Omaha who Is not,
aa you infer, a quack, but a well-informed
physician and gentleman, Dr. Ralph Con
nell. We are very sorry your acquaint
ance has been limited to only quacks among
the medical men, and I know you will ap
preciate Dr. Connell. I am sure your In
sinuations are based on unreliable and ma
licious reports about our health commis
sioner. 1 do not need to say that he Is a
'smart" man, as you so kindly told ua
that in your letter. Thank you very much
for saying It, If you need thanks for tell
ing the truth. E. A. Q.

greatly appreciated. I have received the
following checks by mall, und In buhalf

more appreciated:

Mr. McCartney was a hard working, hon
est man with no bad habits. . Ha received
$1.75 per day for his work from the street
car company, with which a wife and five
children were aupported. He bought a lot
at 4001 North Thirty-eighth street on tha
eaBy payment plan, paying 60 oenta ,-por
week, and there Is a balance due on this
lot of $125, which la payable weekly. Bought
some second-hand lumber, and erected a
crude house, which la neither lathed or
plastered on the Inside, but Just sheeted,
naturally very cold, yet the family are liv
ing in this little home. He supported hla
family and waa making hla weekly pay
ments on the lot regularly, and hoped to
complete hla home by having it lathed and
plastered this year. His sudden death by
accident leaves absolutely no income and
no surplus on hand and six mouths to fill.
Seems as though there ought to be 600
good people in Oinaha who would give $1
each, which would pay the mortgage of
$125 on the home, the undertaker's bill of
$100 and would leave $275, which would as
sure a living at least for some time. I ro
allce that are many demands on the publlo
for help In cases of this kind, yet this la
certainly a deserving one, and I hopo $500
can be raised. Very truly,

How many
loaves to the
sack?
That's the real price of flour.
And why are there more
loaves in a sack of Gold Medal
Flour than any other kind?
Because cellulose and waste
are carefully milled out by the
Washburn -Crosby improved
process.
And the bread is wholesome.
