The Destruction of King Leopold’s Sum- mer Palace. Acablegram to Tax Stas yesterday reported the burning of the royal palace at Laken, a suburb of Brussels. Later dispatches say: At 10 p.m. the palace had the appearance of « huge furnace, and there came from it constant crashes and volcanic bursts of flame and sparks as portions of timber, stone or other masses of debris fell into the fire. The heat was so great | as to totally prevent the approach of the small | fire brigade, which at best could have done but little. The queen's apartments have suffered most. Much plate has been saved, but the valuable pictures, the Gobelin tapestries and the great library are all consumed. The king is very anxious about the statuary in the ro- tunda. There is little hope that any of it is saved. The only occupants of the palace at the time of the breaking out of the fire were the Princess Clementine, aged seventeen; » lady attendant and her governess, Drancourt. The governess, having escaped with the others, returned to the princess’ apartments to secure some valuables and was suffocated there. The queen is greatly grieved at her fate, Another poignant source of regret for her majesty at she loses by this tire teresting souvenii of her children, especially of her son who died at the age of twelve. _As soon as the fire at Laken waa reported the king and the queen suspended their New Year day reception and hastened thither. They wit- nessed the total destruction of this magnificent palace, their usual summer residence. It 18 said the fire was caused by a defective stove in the officers’ quarters. The loss is immense as to money value and as to destruction of art treasures that cannot be replaced. The palace is situated three miles north of the cit; N | sompem I resided for a time in this castle, but it a3 since been much enlarged and improved. At midnight there was a report that the fire at Laken was of incendiary origin and that Dran- court, the victim, perished while searching for the Princess Clementine, whom she supposed to be still in the palace. All the private papers of the king and of Leopold I and the queei Jewels were destroyed. Only the walls are now standing. The body of the governess has not yet been found. psi eet ae OLD AGE THEN AND NOW. A Modern Octogenarian’s Advantages Over the Ancients, Dr. Holmes in the Atlantic.

You've got money enough to let things wag their own way now. “We are a hard-working family,” was the reply, “and when I get home I shall find the whole lot of us just as tired as I am, and nobody in the house feeling bright except the servants. My daughter used to be rosy and fresh looking until she began going into society, and bow she ever stands it now is more than I can tell. I don’t know a man down town who works as hard as she does, and she keeps pegging away at it when I'm sleep- ag.” “What does she do, for heaven's sake?” “Well, I don’t know everything she does, be- cause I haven't reached that point of intere: in her mode of enjoying herself to keep note! She's in society. Don't you understand that? Well, I don’t either, but that explanation seems to be all that is necessary from her when I advise her to let up and take a rest. I suppose she’s got an end to keep up, and she’s gling hard to keep.it elevated, I tell you, Yesterday she was up a@8 o'clock, because she had to goout shopping. She came in at Iun- cheon pretty well tagged out. Then she had a dozen calls to make, aud when she came in to dinner she looked so poorly I felt tired for her. There was a reception somewhere at night, and just before I retired a dude came around and carried her off to it, She came in along toward midnight, but this didn’t prevent her from getting up this morning at 8 o'clock agai, So far, she belongs to a lit club that meets ay, debating club that meets on Sen a dancing class that meets on Friday and a mis- stonary club that meets on Saturday, Then her nights are taken up with a bowling club, & progressive eucher club, a theater club, re- ceptions, balls, parties and the aforementioned dude. Sandwiched between all these are in- numerable social cails, luncheons and such things. Sundays are roaring days with her, too, She isa teacher ina Sunday school and she never misses evening service. Of course she has a good many other things to look after, but Ican’t recollect what they are just now. I lead a lazy life as compared with the life she leads. Being in business isn’t half as hard as being in society.” ———e Foreign Notes of interest.

The Craze for Mammoth Buildings Burlesqued. WHAT IT MAY LEAD TO IX THE WINDY CITT—A DE- SCRIPTION OF THE IMAGINARY SPLENDOR OF THE “CHRISTOPHER COLUMBUS HOTEL"—LUZURY GALORE—NO CRILDREN ADMITTED. From the Boston Transcript. “1 don’t want you to spare no expense,” says Mr. Dollars to his architect. “This hotel must be the biggest thing in Chicago—the biggest thing on earth. It must cover more ground, have more stories and make more show than any other hotel in the country. Eighteen- ninety-two is close on to us; the hotel must be ready for exposition business. I am going to show them New Yorkers how to do things in style.” “I will do my best to please you, sir,” replies the young architect. “I wjll make a rough sketch, s sort of project, of the building to- night and you shall see it tomorrow. Let me see—you said the lot contained 195,000 square feet, I believe?” “Yes; the lot is bounded by Grand and Splendid streets, Boom Boulevard and South 166th street, You will find the dimensions on this map. I want all four fronts to be as ornamental and imposing as you can make them.” “Yes, sir, All right.” Not long after the conversation above re- corded the plans for Mr. Dollars’ great hotel are completed, the contracts for the work awarded, the work itself begun by an army of laborers, and, to make a long story short, the ‘most palatial and expensive hotel in the world is an accomplished fact. It remains to describe it, Tho style is best defined sens igeess but by this the order of architecture made up of the Tonic grafted upon the Corinthian must not be understood, It is the composite of the great west, in which all orders are drawn upon, but none slavishly followed. The result is a new style, grandiose, startling and superlative. Envious eastern people may call jt bombastic, but it is to be borne in mind that all new ideas gain ground slowly. The material is iron,cast in imitation of stone and painted in #1x different colors to simulate marble, sandstone, granite, &c. There are six- teen stories, very lofty ones, too, aud a central dome surmounted by a colossal ‘bronzine” statue of liberty. From the four corners square towers rise to a dizzy height, overlook- ing and dominating the entire city. ‘From the platforms at the tops extensive panoramic views are to be had, Flags wave from tall staffs over all. The four fronts present a most striking ap- pearance, A bewil gn tees of projec- tions—bay windows, balconies, massive col- umns, frets, friezes, cornices, turrets, string courses, statues, moldings, buttresses, pilasters, relwfs, crockets, brackets, gargoyles, carya- i panels, tablets, corbels, canopies, porches—gives an aspect of bewildering au mation to the facades. There is nothing tame, nothing conventional in ali this. ‘The effect is simply astoundin After mature deliberation Mr. Dollars had decided to call his hotel the Christopher Col- umbus hotel—no. beg pardon, the Hotel Christopher Columbus, (Poor man he had never even heard of Leif Ericsson.) * His friends had suggested several other names—the Ninteenth Century hotel. the Seek-No-Further, the Razzle-Dazzle, the Vati- can, the Kremlin, the Piccadilly, the Escorial, the Grand Trianon, the Schonbrun, the Hotel de Veal, the Hotel d’Agouy and the Hotel Looking Forwards, not to mention the various Anglo-maniacal names, which, it was learned, had all been used. Directly over the lar; terra cotta sign, in raised letters 4 feet high, ‘The Hotel Christo- pher Columbus,” a colossal effigy of the dis- coverer stands on a huge sphere representing theearth, The statue, by Mudd of Chicago, is in metalized papier mache and the hollow globe supporting it is of zinc. Columbus points to- ward a vacant lot on the other side of a splen- did street, where a painted advertisement on a 15-foot fence counsels all the world to ‘Use Prairie Blossom Soap.” The oftice of the Columbus is a hall of vast proportions in the center of the house. A staff of twenty clerks, wearing evening dress and diamonds, officiate at the desk. Bazaars of every imaginable variety open upon the great hall, which is brilliantly lighted by 300 electric arc ‘lamps, and whose red, white and blue mosaic pavement of marbleized pine is trod day and night by thousands of hurrying feet, The walls are hung with heavily embossed old- gold and ivory-tinted paperine in foliated pat- terns. The $50,000 eau de cologne fountain throws its scented jet 20 feet into the air continuously, Goldine cages hang here and there, containing parrots, canaries and mocking birds. There are signs in Volapuk on the walls, and a staff of interpreters is retained for the convenience of foreign guests, Noar the desk is the central telephone exchange, from which wires radiate to every one of the 3,000 rooms and suites in the house. Ina niche specially illuminated by a score of incandes- cent lights is enshrined under plate glass « painting by DuSang of Paris representing * massacre of St, Bartholomew,” a work 20x30 feet in dimensions aud costing $100,000. The draperies of crimson velours which’ surround it are massive. From the office one ascends to the parlor floor, either by one of the six passen- ger elevators or by climbing the €100,000 grand staircase, a modified copy of the marble stair- case at Versailles, with marbleized 7 steps, covered by Brussels carpets, and maguifi- cently enriched by metalized statues, busts aud groups, in niches or on onyxine pedestals, by tubs of brilliant artificial flowers, by cages of song birds imported from southern climes, by oil paintings from the ateliers of Corot.

Queen Victoria Said to be Worrled Over It—A Matrimonial Agency. Acablegram from London says: The queen has permitted it to be announced that she in- tends leaving England for the continent early in the year, her present plans being to remain abroad amonth, Her health has been poor for some time, and it is undoubtedly due to her constant worry concerning her family affairs. The marriage of her favorite, Beatrice, to Bat- tenberg, which, it will be remembered, the prince of Wales so strenuously opposed, the queen soon realized to have been a failure, and the marriage has been a much greater source of uneasiness than the public supposed, Before his marriage to Beatrice young Battenberg’s poverty and good looks inspired him to put himself in the hands of a designing Russian lady, who utilized her position in the suite of the empress of Russia to negotiate marriages be- tween wealthy heiresses and penniless princes. She resided in France, where Battenberg put his princely name on the matrimonial bool and the match maker's first attempt was to bring about a marriage with Mile. Dinicourt, whose marriage to Alfred Musurus, son of the Turkish ambassador to London, had just been declared void, as the bride was @ minor, and French law gives the parent the right to annul a contract of constancy under such a condition. Mile. Dinicourt rejected Battenberg on account of his poverty, and he was then offered to Miss Winny Freta Singer, daughter of the sewing machine millionaire, and now ee? of Seey. After being hawked over alf of Europe Battenberg finally secured sutticient royal influence and the backing of the count of Hesse Darmstadt to promise suc- cessin London. ‘hither he accordingly went and Beatrice fell in love with him at first sight, Since the couple have been wedded the Rus- sian match maker has persistently dunned Bat- teuberg, and all he could squeeze from his spouse's allowance has gone to the woman as a price for her silence. Recently, tiring of the continued blackmailing, Battenberg refused further to submit, even in the face of threat- ened exposure. Thereupon the woman wrote to Lord Chamberlain Lathom, accompanying her own statement with a mass of letters relat- ing to Battenberg’s wooing and showing him in an unenviable light, Lathom, who has given frequent evidence of his dislike for Beatrice’s husband, submitted the entire correspondence to the queen. and Battenberg was sent abroad with the least possible delay. As he has been absent now two months it may mean an indefi- nite banishment. oo —____ Disorganization in Brazil. Letters and papers received at Lisbon from Brazil, under date of December 12, say that the government has urged all parties to constitute immediately some kind of representation of the different states, in view of the rapidly increas- ing disorganization and the prevailing discon- tent with the military dictaturship. The ad- vent of the republic will be celebrated April 7. Some citizens of Rio Janeiro are forming a so- ciety to assure Dom Pedro an annuity equiva- lent to the interest 5,000 contor. An inventory of his property gives its value as thirty contos, The national flag has been changed three times since the revolution, The latest design isa globe filled with stars, each one of which represents a province of the republic, EE AES 6 ae The Proposed Channel Tunnel. A London cable special says that at a meet- ing of Engl for the proposed tunnel between id and France yesterday a letter from Lord seley was read, giving as his emphatic opinion that a bridge from Dover to Calais was infinitely preferable. The meeting appreciated the general's military foresight, but was of opinion that a bridge could be de- stroyed as easily as a tunnel by the enemy, while later, according to the views of practical engineers, it would be far easier to build, par- ticularly as a tunnel would cost ten times the amount of a bridge. A strong point in favor of the tunnel was that engineers in experimental borings found such promise of soak that there was a reasonable hope of the most important discovery of the age.
