May Uaboo Astor.
William Waldorf Astor's recent
paragraph in his paper, the Pall Mall
Gazette, saying that Sir Berkeley
Milne of the Naval and Military Club,
Piccadilly, formerly commander of
the royal yacht Osborne and a well-
known clubman, attended a concert at
his home without an invitation, Is
making a great commotion in London
society, and threatens to seriously af-
fect Mr. Astor's position. It seems
that Captain Milne was dining at the
house of a well known woman, who
asked him to go with her party to the
Astor concert. This is daily done in
London, and Sir Berkeley Milne un-
hesitatingly accepted. On arriving,
Mr. Astor, instead of shaking hands
with the captain,
asked the latter
his name. Milne
told him and said
that Lady
brought him with
her party. Mr.
Astor replied that
he had not the
pleasure of his ac-
quai ntance, re-
quested him to
leave and added
that he would In-
sert a notice in the
newspapers. Sir Berkeley retired in
confusion and from the Naval and
Military club the same night sent Mr.
Astor a letter of apology and express-
ed the hope that he would alio*- the
matter to drop. In spite of this Mr.
Astor, in his paper the next afternoon
inserted, as cabled to New York at the
time, the following paragraph: "We
are desired to make known that the
presence of Captain Sir Berkeley Milne
of the Naval and Military club, Picca-
dilly, at Mr. Astor's concert last
Thursday evening was uninvited."
Captain Milne's many influential
friends, who include the Duke of York,
are furious, the Duke and other naval
officers regarding Mr. Astor's conduct
as an Insult to tholr profession as well
as to a personal friend.
jVailinfl Campaign Lies.
Nailing lies constitutes an Important
feature of the business of candidates
and campaign managers in every po-
litical campaign. Tho "good-enough-
Morgan-untll-after-election" method of
influencing voters is hoary with age,
but never a campaign is waged with-
out tne employment of this ancient de-
vice. Mark Hanna for the Republicans
ami Senator Jones for the Democrats
will deny some of the campaign lies,
but they can't find time to deny all of
them. The safe rule for the average
newspaper reader is to believe no
campaign yarn that is Improbable.
A Famous Miigel.
Mrs. (!en. Tom Thumb, who has just
arrived in New York from Europe, i i
the most famous midget in the world
and has been such for forty years, if
the single exception of her late bus
band be allowed. She is now the
Countess Magri, and is accompanied
by her second husband, whose stature
is about the same
as that of his cele-
brated spouse. The
countess was a
MiBs Bump of Mid-
dleborough, Mass.
She met Charles S.
Stratten (Gen. Tom
Thumb) at the
house of P. T. Bar-
num in 1858, and
married him in
1861. This little,
pair traveled over
all the world, and
were received ev-
erywhere. They met Abraham Lin-
coln,the Prince and Princess of Wales,
Emperor Napoleon, the Empress Eu-
genie. Gen. Sherman, Admiral Porter,
Gen. Grant, John Wilkes Booth, a few
presidents of the United States, and
several Oriental princes.
Mrs. Thumb was first exhibited at
Barnum's Museum in New York. In
1865 she and the general went abroad
and were received by Queen Victoria
at Windsor. They were afterwards
engaged by companies of liliputians for
the stage. The countess is now 60, but
as youthful in spirit as she was forty
years ago.
Torter's Good WorK,
Indications have not been lacking
during the past year of the anxiety ot
the French government and the
French press to obliterate the feeling
on the part of a
few toward France
aroused in Ameri-
ca by the alleged
hostile attitude ot
this country to-
wards the United
States in the war
with Spain and to
endeavor by every
means In their
power to re-estab-
lish Franco-Ameri-
can relations on a
more friendly ba-
sis. These efforts have been attended
by a most satisfactory measure of suc-
cess, but the participation of the
French government In, and the excep-
tionally cordial tone of the French
press towards the Washington and
Fourth of July fetes have given an un-
mistakable stamp to the direction of
France's foreign policy. Horace Por-
ter, our ambassador to France, is In
a measure responsible for the present
happy state of affairs.
Grand Old Li.
T.I Hung Chang has been called a
great statesman, but Henry Norman,
English correspondent, declares that
he is an arch humbug, and there is a
large range for speculation between
these two extremes of opinion. Still,
we know more about this old viceroy
than we do about any other Chinese.
The people of the United States have
a kindly regard for the old viceroy.
He has even been the warm friend ot
this country. A few days ago he said
to an American correspondent-
"Whatever the outcome ot this war
it will not mar the friendly relations
between my country and yours. Ad-
Gen. Porter.
Kissing ~Buf> Again.
Three cases of bites by kissing bugs
have Just been reported in New York
city. They are the first that have been
reported to the hospital. The victims
were attacked near Marsh Lands.
Emile Zeigler was attended by a doc-
tor in the Long ls^anti Hospital. Mary
Tassard was bitten at Richmond Hill.
She did jiot report the fact until her
mouth was swollen to twice its natu-
ral size. She was treated in the Belle-
vue Hospital. The third case was that
of a young woman who was bitten
near Rockaway, and was attended in
the Long Island Hospital. In all the
cases the result was the same. Tho
lip was attacked and the victims at
first thought they had been bitten by
mosquitoes. The bite was painful, and
in a few minutes the lips began to
swell, and continued swelling until

The most Important change made
| at the reecnt provincial chapter of the
Congregation of the Holy Cross at the
J University of Notre Dame, Indiana,
: was the transfer of Rev. Jamp A.
Burns from the head of the coiujuin-
lty house to the presidency of Holy

| Washington in affiliation with the
Catholic University ot America.
Father Burns, who has been professor
of chemistry at Notre Dame after bril-
liant work at Harvard and Johns Hop-
kins, is one of the ablest as well as
one of the youngest of the Catholic
educators of America, aud as head of
the post graduate institution in Wash-
ington he has a great field for further
progress.

What the Kaiser Said.
Among those who were ear witness-
es of the emperor's remarks to the
marines at Wllhelmshaven previous to
their departure for China It is known
that his address was much more
strongly worded than officially report-
ed, and the news-
papers of Wll-
helmshaven and
that vicinity pub-
lish the original
version, In which
occurs the follow-
ing:
"1 hope to re-es-

vengeance in a

Rear Admiral Kempff has just been
relieved of command of the American
fleet in Chinese waters. Just previous ;
to the combined assault of Europe's
warships on the
Taku forts, the ad-
mirals held a coun-

of deciding what
course to take. Ad-

A New Terror to Publle Men.
The camera fiend is bad enough, and
there is continual protest against him
by every person in whom the p'jbllo
takes an interest. Hut the blograph
fiend, who is threatening the peace of
notables, Is much worse. Klnetoscope
pictures are about to be put within the
reach of every one. A London con-
cern has established a studio where
people may go to have moving pic-
tures taken of themselves, just as they
now go to be photographed, and a
cheap apparatus for the reproduction
of the films is sold, which while not so
good as those used in the theaters and
nickel-in-the-slot devices yet answers
the purpose. Tho manager of tho stu-
dio says that it is in demand for wed- j
dings. The bride and bridegroom, ]
bridesmaids, best man, and all the rest j
are photographed while ^tie wedding
ceremony is being performed, and the
happy pair and their friends have j
copies of the films as souvenirs of the
occasion. But this is not the worst. |
