HONEYMOON STOPPED FOE WORK Undeveloped Suburban roslblllle of Metropolis Yield Money to 'William J. Appleton's Hand. '- LONDON. March 7. (Special.) Eng land has learned many lessons from America and Just now It Is learning tlio ' art of real estate booming, wltli William J. Appleton as professor. Incidentally Mr. Arpleton is finding Ills educational efforts very profitable to himself. In fact, he may be compared to the phil anthropist who teaches his friends to play the American game of poker. Mr. Appleton is a graduate of the Amer ican school of real estate booming, and ' many of the suburbs of New York owe their exlstenco to his efforts, while he In turn owes niost Of his wealth to their ix Istence. He' Is now only SI years old, and ten years ago he was the youngtfct mayor In the -United States. lie was elected mayor . of Deal Beach, N. J., in 1898, some months before he attained hi majority. The election was contested on the ground of infancy, but Mr. Arpltion w.Hi and Peal Roach was so satisfied ( with his management of Us affairs that it re-elected him three times. Peal Beach, as a matter of fact, had been largely developed before that by Mr. Appleton, who saw early In life that there was money to be made In real estate. Other suburbs which he developed, buy ing the Jand at farm prices, cutting It up into lots, making streets and selling the lots to builders, are I-aurelton, Long Island; . Rosedale Terrace, Long Island, and a part of Atlantic Highlands, N. J. 1'rolltable Farm Crop. Six months ago Mr. Appleton was mar ried and he decided to take a short rest from real estate booming and spend hu honeymoon in traveling In Europe. He got only as far aa England, howovor, and when he reached London and looked on its undeveloped suburban acres, the de sire to show the English what could be dons was too strong for him. He went out one day to Uolder's Ureen, which is the terminus of one of the new "tubes," aa, the Londoners call their underground railways, and when he came back he was the owner of a promising "farm" of twen-.y-two acres within five minutes' walk f the tube terminus. It is truo that he aid rather stiff farm prices for rather . ocky soil, and the simple agriculturist ho owned It congratulated himself on Js bargain, but Mr. Appleton saw his Parsing Mothers tmi Over-burdened Women In all stations of Ufa, whoso vigor and, vitality may have been undermined and broken-down by over -work, exacting social duties, the too frequent bearing of children, or othei causes, will find In Dr. Pierce's Favorite Proscription the most potent.

He cabled to America to his agents Instructing them to sell out all his holdings there, and within a month he had divested himself of his American property and had gone into the business of booming England. The result has been remarkable, and it must be admitted that the English real estate men have been ready pupils. Mr. Appleton put his farm up Into lots and began to advertise them widely and sell them, and when the Englishmen realized what was going on, they flocked In and the price of farm land in Golden's Green went up. Houses sprang up In rows and so effective were Mr. Appleton's methods that when only two houses of the first rcw of twenty-two were roofed In, and arm: had not even gone beyond the hole in the ground stage, every one of them was sold. Land which was bought at so much an acre a few months ago Is now selling at from $8,000 to 110,000 per twenty-foot lot, and the prices are still rising. Future of the Bnalnesa. "The future of the real estate business lies In England for some time to come, at any rate," said Mr. Appleton the other day. "Money conditions are too bad in the United States now and, at any rate, most of the big cit'es have been overbuilt. The flrld' ls right in the suburbs of the great cities of England, which are growing every day, and where there Is lots of land to ba developed. "Think of it! Oolder's Green Is fire miles, as the crow flies, from Charing Cross, the center of London. It has street cars and tubes and 'buses running there every few minutes, but no one realized its possibilities as a suburb at first. Now they have waked up and there Is a demand for twice as much land as is available. Two London banks have established branches there already, and I am dealing now with some large tradesmen who want to build shops on my land. "Golder's Green Is not the only suburb of London that Is Just crying out for de velopment. I have my eyes on one or two others, and I will be after them as soon as I have finished what I have on hand. Then, there are other big cities. I am now look ing Into the possibilities In a big southern manufacturing town; where I think there Is need for a high-class residential suburb to be carved out of the farms. "I like the way they do things here. I was told at first that I could never do business In England, that I would find the English people too slow and that I would get tired while they were thinking over a proposition. I find that money talks here as well aa in the United States, and that If a man is In earnest and has got the money to back him he can get things done promptly enough. I don't object to going a little slower and being sure that there Is no trouble to come over titles and law suits. "Have I taught England much about real estate booming? Well, I hare found them very quick lo learn all I could teach, and I have learned something, too. You cannot win with the same methods here that proved successful In America. The people are different and they have a different way of looking at things. You must study them if you hope to succeed with them, but I have found out that they are Just as easy to do business with as the Americans.'' NEW ERA FOR GERMAN NAVY Mammoth Warship Wasaan Launched with Grrnt Ceremony at WIW helmaharen Yards. WII.HKLM SHAVEN. March 7.-Oer-many's first mammoth warrhlp was suc cessfully launched here today and christ ened Nassau by Grand Puchess of Baden William, the grand duke of Baden. Prince Henry of Prussia and Prince Henry of The Netherlands. A brilliant assem blage of prominent officials were present. The launching of the giant battleship Nassau Inaugurates a new era In the German navy. In size, armament, speed snd Installation, she will be superior to any warship hitherto built In Germany. The Nassau displaces 17.960 tons and Is built entirely of hardened steel. Her di mensions and the thickness of her armor are not exactly known, as everything con nected with her construction has been kept strictly secret by order of the marine minister. It Is known, however, that It Is to be fitted with three sets of triple expansion reciprocating engines snd Is to to be provided with three profilers. It Is specified that she shall attain a speed of at least nineteen knots. Its crew ts to number M6, Including twenty-seven of ficers. 1 The cost of construction. Including trial runs, will total $9,190,000, of which IS.K7. Jtt) are accounted for by the hull and In ternal fittings. $3.J76.00O for artillery and $147, 500 for torpedoes.

Plerpont Morgan's Costly Collee tlon of Haas. LONPON, March 7. (Special.) The Puchess of Marlborough might be a girl of 17 so carefully Is she chaperoned. Her mother, Mrs. Belmont, is now doing duty In this respect and Is seen everywhere with her daughter. The duchess has been giving a series of small dinner parties at Sunder land house to Immediate friends, mostly Americans and a few well known English men, but Mrs. Belmont Is beside her all the time. Some American male relative U always asked to take the duke's place at the other end of the table. At the matinee at the Lyric theater, the fashionable event of the season so far, Muriel Wilson being the "leading lady," both the Puke and Puchess of Marlbor ough had stalls. Just as the duchesj and her mother arrived In their automobile at the theater up drove the duke and his cousin, Winston Churchill, In a hansom. There was an awkward five seconds, but the duchess led the way, never turning round to see If her mother were following and she arrived In her seat without com ing Into contact with her husband. The duke sat two rows further back, almost directly behind his wife. The duchess and Mrs. Belmont are gnlrg abroad almost directly and will be away until after Easter. I hear Mr. Vanderbllt has reduced his daughter's Income s me what. He explains this by saying that she has not to entertain as much as she did before she and her husband separated, and as he has to make an allowance to the duke for the upkeep of Blenheim he d.es not see hla way to being too generous with Consuelo. Mrs. GlasjKow'a Acquisition. Mrs. Glasgow Is very proud of her new house In Berkeley Square. She has given nearly a whole year to hunting up antique furniture, prints and pictures for it, while all the decorations have been carried out to her own designs. Later she Is to enter tain the king there. Just now she Is glvins a succession of small dinner pirtles fol lowed by Inevitable bridge. Some women say that they find the decorations of Mrs. Glasgow's rooms rather trying as a background. You must under stand that In these days every woman of taste with a purse to match arranges the color scheme of her apartment to show up to the greatest advantage her own charms. For Instance, a woman with bronze ha'r will have her drawing room In orange, with dashes of blue and perhaps a touch of red. Mrs. Glasgow Is a blonde, and there is a certain hue of pink which suits women of the particular type to which she belongs admirably, while to others It is exceed ingly trying. Sargent Is one of the great friends of this American hostess. Of late this great artist has become very Inaccessible, and it Is only to the houses of the mighty he can be drawn. Just at the moment he Is the lion of the American set, and I hear he has orders for portraits of more of his own countrywomen than he can execute In two years. Lady Barrymore she was the widow of Arthur Post of New York before she be came a peeress Is taking Harriet Wads worth under her wing, which means that she has got Into the right set. There Is a great deal of curiosity here about this debutante, the fame of whose good looks has preceded her. There are sure to be festivities in her honor at the American embassy, as she Is a cousin of Mr. Wads worth, who holds a post there. Mrs. Adair Is aUo Interested In her. By the way, Mrs. Adair has made a most wonderful recovery and, although her sight Is very Indifferent, she Is about again. She recently remarked to a friend, "Even If I were to lose my sight completely and It seemed very like It at one time I would not give up my friends nor. Indeed, society." Consolation In New Mansion. Cora, Lady Strafford, 1b now as well as she Is ever likely to be. At no time a robust woman, the shock of her, second husband's tragic death literally "did" for her, and during nearly all the years that have Intervened she has been more or less an Invalid, despite the fact that she sought consolation In a third husband. I am told she means to make Badgemore, near Henley, the loveliest house In that quarter. The lease she took of It a little while ago runs for several years;. In fact, she offered to buy It outright, but the owner would not part with It. She Is hav ing In It a glorious boudoir In rose red and the room which overlooks the rose garden Is to suggest nothing but roses. A French artist is carrying out the Idea, which Is Lady Strafford's own. Other well known Americans who are on the move into a new house are Colonel and Mrs. Hunslker. Theirs Is in Charles street, a smart quarter though not very expen sive. It has been an almost Interminable time Irt the hands of the British workman. Mrs. Hunslker Is an adept In furnlsliirg and knows everything that is worth know ing about the antique dates and perit ds. etc. while In arranging schemes of cil r she Is artistic to a degree. They, of course, mean to entertain, but not on a whole sale scale, for the colonel enres only to see his own friends and has no tlrre, he says, for troops of strangers. Amazing to relate, his wife does what he tells her, and so far shows no desire to shine as a piv -r of "crushes." niches In Rigi, Everybody knows that J. I1 rront Mor gan would go to the end of the earth to procure a picture that was pronounctd a masterpiece, or a snuff box that was sill to liavo belonged to a French king, but few people are aware that within the last couple of years he has amassed the most valuable collection ot carpets and rugs In the world. One particular oriental carpet It is really Utile more than a rug, fir It measures only about twenty feet by llftien cost $17,01)0. For this ho recently sent a special messenger to Persia. It Is the moil perfect specimen of Its kind in the world. The coloring is deep blue, red and a slight touch ot orange, the design being vines in blue on a red ground, the border spirals, leaves and medallions. Another rug, which Is supposed to be more valuable, though It cost considerably less a mere $7,500 Is of the royal Tabrls workmanship and meas ures only fifteen feet by ten. It seems that the fame of Mr. Morgan as a rug collector has now si read to Pcrs'a, China and the remote parts of the earth, with the result that he Is now Inundated with offers of "treasurts." Ilia post bag from these quarters alone is the cause of many unparliamentary remarks from h s secretary, whose duty It Is to open and read carefully every document tent to the multimillionaire, be It only the typical cir cular puffing a new gold mine or a patent medicine. Reason for Painted Fsn, Late hours, eternal gadding about, worry and "nerves" are all said to combine a cause for the number of painted wou:en one now meets at every turning both In and out of society. It used to be said of Ameri cans that they never vtnt to the rosje o o o o o o o o o 0 r I. t ........ j v When the Peoples Store Inaugurated this great furniture sale they had but one Idea In mind, and that was to make this srlllna event the jtroatcst In the history of the tore, and. judging from the success of last week, it is rio(.t certain that their efforts will be successful.

AUSTRIAN INDUSTRY RUINED Manufacture of Gloves Ilnlned by Condition of Business In I'nlted Mr.tca. PRAGl'E, March 7. (Special.) Through tho financial crisis in the I'nlted States, the glove Industry In the Erz mountain dis tricts has been temporarily destroyed. All tho factories have been shut down and thousands of men, women and girls are reduced to starvation. Tho total output of kid and leather gloves of these factories amounted to 12.000,000 doson pairs yearly, nearly all of which were bought for the American market. When the panic came the American shopkeepers stopped their orders and widespread distress followed. Hundreds of tho workpeople are emigrating to Germany, as they can do nothing at home, tho Ers mountain country being one of the poorest and barrenest In all central Europe. MEREDITH'S VIEWS ON DEATH Grand Old Man of English Letters Cuuqnrrs All I-'enr of Father Time. LONDON. March ".-(Special.) Tho ac counts that have reached you by cablo of tho tributes paid George. Meredith on .lis 80th birthday will lend Interest to this photograph, taken on the same day. It shows the most distinguished of living English novelists seated In the donkey chaise In which he Is accustomed to take n drive of four or five miles dally among his beloved Surrey hillH and lanes. By his side Is Miss Nichols, who Is his constant nttendant. At the donkey's head stunds the author's servant, Cole, who has been with him for thirty years. The once sturdy frame of the grand old man of English literature Is somewhnt frnll now, but it may In' sold of him, us win once said of Victor Hugo, though the sno of winter are thick on his head, eternal siring reigns ln his heart. Ills Is a sere:o and happy old age. His mental faculties are still alert and he takes a keen interest in all the big questions of the day. Of death, which cannot be far off, he has no fear. "Doctors and parsons," he said not long ago, "are doing a lot of harm by Increasing the' fear of death and making the English less manly. No one should consider death or think of It as worse thnn going from one room Into another. The greatest of political writers has said: 'Despise your lite and you are master of the lives of 'others.' Philosophy would say, 'Conquer tho fear of death and you are put In possession of your life.' I was a very timid and sensitive boy. I was frightened of everything; 1 could not endure to be left alone. Hut when I came to bo IS, I looked round tho world (as far as a youth of IS can look) and determined not to be afraid again. Since then I have had no fear of death. Every night when I go to bed I know I may not rise from it. That Is nothing to me. I hope I shall die with a good laugh, like the old French woman. The cure came walling to her about her salvation and things like that, and she told him her best Improper story and died Tho God of nature and human nature does not dislike humor, you may be sure, and would rather hear It In extremity than the formless official drone. Let us believe ln a hearty God one to love more than fear." And so he has lived, unafraid of death or anything else, writing to please himai If and not tho world, heedless of scorn and indifferent to praise. I have no doubt lu wan really a good deal bored by all the fuss that was mude about him on his 80th birthday. MME.
