DIPLOMATIC GOSSIP Bolving the Mystery at the British Legation. SR JULIAN AND HIS TRICYCLE How theVenezuelan MinisterCaused a Mild Sensation. THE BEGGAR AT THE GATE OR QUITE TWO weeks “sounds of revelry,” not only ‘by night,” but by noon every day, have been heard in the vi- cinity of the British embassy. Violent rumblings, succeeded by reverberant shocks, that sug- gested the ambassa- dor had picked up an automatic earth- quake in his travels abroad and imported it to divert himself and friends have been distinctly audible. One theory advanced by an attentive and imaginative neighbor was that the Sec- retary of State, who has paid a number of visits to the embassy lately, and the rep resentative of her majesty, Queen Victoria, had been directed to settle the Venezuelan and other troublesome diplomatic qies- tions by a dozen or two rounds—Marquis of Queensbury rules, These wild rumors eo, eae Prince Wrede. an now be set at rest, for the mystery is solved!

The ushers exchanged horrified glances, and one started forward to explain that if the Venezuelan--boundary wasn’t clearly defined they knew of one line that must be drawn, when the-absent-minded min- ister suddenly perceived what he had done and hastily resumed his discarded gar- ment. A woman who sat near said the minister probably ~wanted to “show his new waistcoat,” for “it had a back of ele- gant white silk, and was the prettiest one I ever saw.” But nobody who knows Mr. Andrade will ever believe he had any such dudish intention. Among the possible secreturies of state and for other cabinet positions one hears frequently of Senator Lodge of Massa- chusetts and Representative Hitt of Il- linois. Both of these men have elegant homes at the capital and their wives are women who have wide social experience. Senator pdge’s Residence. Mrs. Lodge ts a fine-looking woman, who dresses well and converses with excep- tional brilliancy.

From the Forum. There was little drollery in Emerson's conversation, though it had a sweeiness which the testimony of a cloud of witness- es makes it not extravagant to call in- effable. But we get a touch of fun once in a while. A pleasantry reco-ded of him ts a story he to!d of a friend who carried a horse chestnut to protect him from =heum- atism. “He has never had it since he begaa to carry it, and indeed it appears to have had a retrospective operation, for he never had it before.” An lish friend tells me that while with Mr. Emerson in his gar- den discussing some problem of life, Mrs. Emerson called to him for some ‘wood. Emerscn went to the wood pile; when he came back he said, with his wonderfal smile, “Now, we will return to the real thing: When Oliver Wendell Holmes asked him if he had any manual dexterity he illustrated his want of it by -epiying that he could tit a shingle four ways with one nail. hich,” says Dr. Holmes, “as the intention is not to split it at in fastening it to the roof, I took to confession of inaptitude for mechanical work.” In later years he lost his memory of the names of ‘things. Once he wanted his umbrella, but could not recall the word. But he got around the difficulty. “I can’t tell its name, but I can tell its history. Strangers taxe it away.” His daughter ran in one day to ask who sho.tid be invited to join their berry picking party. “All the children,” he said, “from six years to ty.” Equally tender is the humor of this in the essay on “‘Illusions:” ‘When the boys come mto my yard for leave to gather horse chestnuts I enter into nature’s same and affect to grant the permission reluct- antly, fearing that any moment they will find out the Imposture. * * * But this tenderness is quite unnecessary; the en- cnantments are laid on very thick.” This recluse could sit in his gardon at Concord or wander along the shores of Walden and see into the penetralia of Van- ity Fair quite as keenly as the club m of Michigan avenue or Piczadilly. He was once asked if he approved of Pla* friendship between men and women. he said, “but—hands off! Once when Emerson was in Chicago to lecture to ‘ts Fortnightiy Club of women its president said to him: “Tt is too bad you were not here last week, Mr. Emerson. We w2re discussing Goethe's ‘Elective Affinities, and would have been so glad to get ‘your views.” Emerson bowed with gracious si- lence. ‘What would you have said to us about it?” the lady persisted. “Madam, he replied, “I have never felt that I had at- tained to the purity ef mind that qualified me to read that book.” SSS Punished for a Grave Crime. From the London World. ‘A passenger in a railway train from Ger- many to France recently said, “Vive la France!” as the train crossed the frontier. ‘The German authorities argued that though the remark was not made in Germany, it might very well have been heard in the next compartment, which was at the mo- ment on German soil. So they fined the enthusiast twenty marks. It is a great nation which can do these things with a grave face. + e+ —_____ Closed for the Night. From the New York Weekly.

Daughter of Pridcexs Bi herlt From Euzenie and Victoria. From the London Sp ator. The very latest news in woman's realm, says a writer in the Cincinnati Enquirer, is that the unly daughter of Princess Beatrice of England and of the late Prince Henry of Battenberg will some day be a great heiress. It has been stated on good au- thority that the ex-Empress Eugenie by her latest will leaves the greater portion of her fortune to the charming little lady. She is a great favorite of the ex-empress, and is, by the way, a namesake of both Empress Eugenie and of her grandmother, Queen Victoria, being named Victoria Eu- genie. Princess Beatrice has for years been catrice to In- the greatest possible favorite of the illus- before trious Eugenie; in fact, even late Prince Imperial and Princess rice were sweetheart cry woman is famil- iar with the sad, sweet story of older peo- ple deciding that the two were “too young” to get married.

The fortunate little “Victoria Eugenie,” of course, will come in for her share of this fortune, dividing, of course, with her two brothers, one of whom is younger and the other older than herself. = ————— merican Cruelty. the From Life.
