MAGIC GARDENS CHANGE BLOOM IN NIGHT Perpetual Fleral Youth Adds Fragrance to the Hait e Air CASTLE ROOM WHERE SLEPT GLADSTONE @Glorious 0ld Park Could Easily Be British Sovereign's e, but All Tiis Efforts to Bay Are Unavailing. (Copyright, 192, by Press Publishing Co.) PARIS, Feb. 15.—(New York World Cable- gram—Speclal Telegram.)—Among the many | estates offered him, King Edward hi finally fixed his choice on the Chateau de Thorenc, at Cannes, for his residence during his stay on the Riviera in March. 1t belongs to Lord Rendel and Is considered the most beautiful demesne on all the azure coast, leaving In the shade even the great estates of the grand dukes of Russia. Lord Rendel is the head of the board of management of the famous Armstrong firm and has a fortune estimated at over $50,- 000,000, From 1882 to 1555 he was civil lord of the admiralty. Whils prince of Wales King Edward was several times a guest at Thorenc. A few years ago it was rumored in English ecircles at Cannes that he had offered to buy the place, but that Lord Rendel refused to take money and insisted on making a present of it and the then prince had given up the idea. The 125-acre park surrounding the castle 1s entirely hemmed in by stone walls clad in ivy and honeysuckle. The avenues and lanes aggregate twelve miles. When in England Lord Rendel lives In another superb country place, Hotchlands, at Guil- ford. He spends five or six months each year at Cannes and has another fine resi- dence at Posilippo, near Naples. Fastidious About Her Gardens. Lady Rendel has long been renowned for her exacting fastidiousness as regards the keeping of her gardens. At Thorenc she has twenty men aoiof nothing but looking after them, besides a head gardenmer, two foremen and a squad of experts for the greenhouses. The avenues alone provide work for several hands every minute of the day. Not a fallen leaf, burned match or footprint is allowed to remain on the sand. As the park lies on a hillside, the aged Lady Rendel never strolls through it except in a tiny chalr drawn by two white donkeys and two men with rakes follow at a distance to immediately efface the traces of the wheels. What has attracted the king to the Chateau de Thorenc more than anything _glse.is the wondertul jellection of exctic plants and flowers. In the grounds the flower beds are never permitted to contaln any but plants in full bloom. As soon as those are on the point of fading the whole bed Is spaded up during the night and set with flowers about to open, which have been kept in reserve in remote fields or in special forcing houses. From many lofty polnts the promemader discovers enthrall- ng views of land and sea. Lord Rendel's daughter, Maud, married Herbert Gladstone and Thorence castle possesses the room which the great Glad- stone himeelf used to occupy there for a month almost every winter. In & particularly picturesque nook facing the south and the sea there is & clump of ollve trees set out by the prince of Wales with his own bands more than fit- teen years ago. They are doubtless the only trees he ever planted and he shows an interest in thelr welfare and growth every time he returns.

At one time the balloon was fiylng at the rate of sixty yards a second, about two miles a minute.

Hor tather ia John H. Daybigf i haker at 24 Washington Square, N, < When she married, nine %0, Lord Dufferin's second son, she Ume Lady Terence Blackwood. Twal / ago Lord Dufferin’s eldest son, the of Ava, was Killed in battle while dg’ & Ladysmith, and as he was unm Lord Terenco Blackwood became t + and took the title of Viscount Clandéu.se. The new marquis and marchioness of Dufferin and Ava have a beautiful house in London at 75 Cadogan Square, where they are now. The new marchioness is expect~ ing a visit from the stork and has to be kept quiet. The marquis has been trying to let this house for the coronation season, since, on account of being in mourning, they will not be able to go out or to entertain. The coronation, probably, will be the only fes- tivity they will attend Thelr house is entered by a large, square hall, an uncommon thing in a London house. Alf the rooms are beautifully decorated and upholstered. When they first went into it the drawing room was done in a shade of rose red, but when everything was finished sho decided the color was unbecoming, so she had the whole altered at a cost of $2,500, all of which was paid by her father, who also gave the decorations and furniture for the house. The late marquis of Dufferin, after a long and brilliant career as governor gen- eral of Canada and British ambassador to saveral of the most important courts of Europe, died last Wednesday, In his sev- enty-sixth year, respected by all, yet ruined in purse and broken in heart through a perfectly innocent but too trust- ful connection with unfortunate specula- tive enterprises. A pathetic letter, writ- ten by him at the time of the Whitaker- Wright smash, has been published here, in which he moans: ‘It is really heart- breaking. I am nearly ruined, and many others are involved in the same cafmity. The one bright spot in the whole business is the way my shareholders have behaved. And what do you think that good fellow C. did? He asked leave to place £1,000 at Lady Dufferin’s disposal, and yet he bimself s a poor man.” The late Lord Dufferin courteously as- sented to more than ome request of your correspondent for his opinion on impor- tant international questions. In November of 1890 he was asked to write an article on the old and the new diplomacy, he belng the most distinguished living exponent of the former. He sent this interesting let- ter, hitherto unpublished: “I hasten to acknowledge the receipt of your flattering proposal, but in the first place I am far t00 busy to be able to embark on any liter- ary task, and in the second place I do not know that I have any distinet concep- tion of what is meant by the new and old diplomacy.

(Copyright, 1902, by Press Publishing Co.) LONDON, Feb. 15.—(New York World Cablegram—Special Telegram.)—Drummer, the famous war dog of the Northumberland fusiliers, recently died at the military hos- pital at Colchester. He went through the Egyptlan campaign and was at the battle of Omdurman, where he suavped at bullets, which he thought wern files.

He had, however, minlature medals and clasps from Diamond Hil, Johannesburg, Paardeberg, Driefontein, re- llef of Kimberley, Belmont and Modder river. KINGS NOT TO BE BURLESQUED Edward Objects Lon cal Managers G Them- selves Accordingly. (Copyright, 192, by Press Publishing Co.) LONDON, Feb. 15.—(New York World Cablegram—Special Telegram.)—Word has gone abroad among the London theatrical managers that King Bdward has no relish for plays in which kings are burlesqued. He took particular exception to the king of Illyria in “Kitty Grey,” a gay Lothario who haunts theatrical green rooms and en- tertalns actresses at supper. Conse- quently the days of “iitty. Grey" are numbered. The king belleves that the turning of royalty into ridicule or contempt ¢s mnot beneficial to loyalty, yet It is asserted that his own popularity is largely due to his “Hlyrian” reputation. The character of the king of Illyria ap- parently is based on that of the king of the Belglans, who 1s King Edward's cousin.

NEW PUNISHMENT RULE Ministers Amased by Hostility of Their Owa Fellows STIRS STRIFE SCOTLAND YARD I8 GREVIOUSLY HOAXED War Correspondent Mistaken for Col- el Lynch, Belligerent from Gal- ay—Another Deficit Tacked on National D (Copyright, 1902, by Press Publishing Co.) LONDON, - Feb. 15.—(New York World Cablegram—Special Telegram.)—A strange, unrecorded incident happened this week in the House of Commons. It was suddenly discovered that the proposal to appoint & second deputy speaker under the new rules was fllegal without the personal assent of the king. The proposal might come any minute, so Victor Cavendish, M. P., comp- troller of the king's household, was posted off to secure the royal ent. On reaching Marlborough house he found that the king had gone motoring to Windsor and would not be back for an hour. For- tunately for the government, an unexpected debate intervened before the nmew rule and Cavendish arrived ‘in the king's motor in the palace yard with the royal assent just in the nick of time to save Minister Bal- four from the awkward necessity of ac- knowledging that he had overlooked this constitutional form. The ministers are amazed at the hostile reception accorded by a large body of their own followers to the new punishment rule directed against the Irish members. The rule not only doubles the period of sus- pension, but it mal a return to the House by the suspended member depend on an ex- pression of sincere regret, under the beliet that none but Irish members would refuse to apologize. However, many tories have declared that they will never apologize. So this ingenious proposal is doomed, as it is not the object of the ministry to provoke possible distranchisement of British con- stituencies, Irish Expect to Suffer Alone. The Irish members’ view of the rule is that punitive suspension powers will only be exercised against them, and where the English members defy the chair, which they did, with entire immunity from punishment or even rebuke, on the home rule bill, the speaker will use the new power given him to suspend the sitting member until the passion. cools. Scotland Yard was grievously hoaxed this ‘week over the supposed appearance in the House of Commons of Colonel Lynch, Gal- South Africa, 'visited the house as the guest of Major Jameson, M. his name In a book as “Lynch, " In- stantly word was conveyed to Scotland Yard and a cordon of detectives was drawn around the chamber until two of them who were personally acquainted with Col- onel Lynch saw they were after the wrong man. The incident created a great commotion among the ministers. Scotland Yard evi- dently apprehends that Lynch will take his seat, as it is still closely watching both houses of parliament. As a matter of fact, Lynch apparently has no intention of risking his liberty. He has had mno communication whatever since his election with the Irish members, who are rather disgusted at the part he has played. The magnificent revenue of $710,000,000 which Beach, chancellor of the exchequer, will announce in his budget, still leaves a deficit of $300,000,000 to be added to the English national debt this year. Any tempt to muke the country pay its way under present conditions would provoke instant reaction, so liabilitles are being piled on to the debt.

TRIESTE, Austria, Feb. 15.—Crowds thronged the streets this morning, but mill- tary patrols keep the strikers and public generally moving. All the squares and public bulldings are occupied by soldiers and large contingents of the military forces are in readiness for immediate acs tion. Business is suspended. A pumber of those who were wounded when the troops on the Plaza Grande fired a volley into a mob yesterday bave since died. Mapy black flags were flying this after- noon and mobs paraded the streets smash- ing the windows of those who did not dis- play mourning.

GROTON, Mass., Feb, 15.—The latest re- ports from the rooms of the three sick stu- dents are favorable. Mrs. Roosevelt stated this afternoon that her son was doing flne and that they were all extremely gratified with his improvement. The Potter and Gammel lads are also gaining, although thelr convalescence is mot so rapid as in young Roosevelt's case. should no new complications arise, it Is Mrs. Roosevelt's bellef that she will be able to take her son to Washington some time next week. Miss Alice Roosevelt arrived at Groton this_afternoon, accompanied by the stew- ard of the White Hou: She was driven to the infirmary of the school, where she was cordially greeted by Mrs. Roosevelt and Teddy, the latter seeming delighted to see his sister. Mother and sister re- mained by the sick boy's bedside during nearly the entire afternoon and evening, leaving shortly before 9 o'clock for the res- idence of Mr. Gardner, which is thelr home while in Groton. There was every reason to believe that the patient would pass & comfortable night. Dr. Warren, the schael physiclan, is now the only physiclan In attendance upon the sick boy, his greatly improved condition having warranted the dismissal today of Dr. Jewett, one of Dr. Warren's assistants and the expressed intention of the latter to make but one visit a day here. The last of the out-of-town newspaper correspondents left this afternoon. A medical review of young Roosevelt's case obtained today shows that the boy became 1ll as the result of cooling oft suddenly after violent exercise. The first diagnosis showed acute lobar pneumonia in both lungs, the left lung being the more seriously nvolved. The left lung soon be- came entirely affected and the right con- gested. It was a typleal case of double pneumonia. Dr, Lambert, upon hi§ arrival last Mon- day, found the lad seriously ill, with pulse 120 and temperature 108, and the case had become complicated with acute pleuritis. The administration of oxygen was deemed necessary. This greatly relieved the patient. The second stage of the dis- ease found the heart ineffective, but oxygen and powerful stimulants had the desired effect and on Tuesday the tem- perature dropped. On Wednesday oxygen was discontinued. The stage of resolution was entered with the vitality of the pa- tient not greatly impaired. The heart gained In strength and the improvement was very steady.

GIRL IS HELD ON SUSPICION Identified by Bell Hoy as Companion of Guest Found Dying in Room. NEW YORK, Feb. 15.—Walter 8. Brooks, a young commission merchant of this eity, was found dying in & room in the Glen Isinod hotel, West and’ Cortlandt streets, thom his death several hours Iafer in a hospital the police were notified and took in charge Florence Burns, a bandsome Brooklyn girl, with whom Brooks had for some time been keeping company. She probably will be arraigned tomorrow. A negro bellboy identified the girl as the one who came to the hotel with Brooks, but Miss Burns denies she was the person, and declares she met Brooks at his place of business early Friday evening, leaving Bl at 6:30 o'clock to go to her home in Brooklyn. Certain it s that Brooks and some young woman went to the Glen Island, register- ing as J. Wilson and wife. It was midnight when the bellboy smelled gas in one of the hallways., Brooks' room wi broken intc and he was found lying across the bed un- consclous and gas was pouring from the burners. - Dr. Sweeney was summoned and noticed what was apparently a simple cut on the back of the head. Later he discovered it was a bullet wound and Brooks was re- mwoved to the hospital. At the station the girl did not flinch at the examination through which she was put, maintaining that she dld not spend the night with Brooks. The bellboy, how- ever, picked her out from three women lined up before him, as the one who had been at the hotel. Dr. Sweeney and the police put aside the theory of self-murder, because there was no powder mark around the spot where the bullet entered the head. Counsel has been engaged by the girl's father, who is Fred Burns, well known In sporting circles as the gnnouncer at big sporting events. Brooks is a compositor, and friends of the family say the young man was Infatuated with the girl, and that the family was using every endeavor to have the intimacy cease. Brooks was 20 years old and known as an amateur athlete. DEMOCRATS HONOR TILDEN Hold Banguet, to Which W. J.

Pearson, Mayor of McKinney, Tex. There was a postscript to Mr. Bryan's letter which read: ““Enclosed editorial on steadfastness will serve as a sentiment in case you desire one. The first paragraph of the letter sald “A party must have principles or it can have no claim on public confidence, and how can it commend its principles better than by standing by them? Who will have faith in the creed of a party if the party stands ready to barter away its creed in exchange for a promise of patrons A balting, hesitating, vacillating course not only fails to invite recruits, but it alienates and drives away veterans.

Mathewson is re- ported as having attempted to minimize the failings of his chiet clerk, but the special agent had instructions to go to the root of the charges. Pitman, who was formerly in the Indian office here, has made no charges against Agent Mathewson, as Asscrted by some of the papers near the reservation, but only against Haygood, who s a son of Bishop Haygood of the Methodist church.
