O., left Eng-land the latter part of this MRS. NICHOLAS LONGWORTH PLANS TO BE LEADER IN LONDON SOCIETY Ex-President's Daughter Leases Lavishly Equipped Mansion for 10,000 a Tear, and Will Be Hostess Next Sea son Premier Asquith's Son and Miss Charteris, Wed This Month. LONDON. June 29. (Special.) One of the chief social events towards the end of July will be the mar riage of Premier Asquith's son, Herbert Asquith, to Miss Cynthia Charterls, daughter of Lord and Lady Elcho, and granddaughter of Lord Wemyss and the Hon. Percy Wyndham. Miss Charterls is a clever, good-looking girl. She is on friendly terms with the Dorchester House set and is a great personal friend of Miss Violet Asquith. A talented amateur actress, she has ap peared frequently in theatricals with Mrs. Willie James and Lady Allngton. Her upbringing has been in that intel lectual section of London society which revolves round the personality of ex Premler Arthur Balfour. Her brother, Evan Charterls, Is one of Balfour's greatest friends, and Is frequently his partner or his adversary on the golf links. The prospective bride's aunts are Lady Tennant and Mrs. Charles Adeane, who with Lady Elcho made one of the most brilliant portrait groups ever painted by Sar geant. The bridegroom-elect was edu cated at "Winchester and New College, Oxford. He is a promising young bar rister and acts as one of the several "devils" of Danckwerts, the famous King's Counsel. Mrs. Longwortb Goes to London. The cordial reception accorded to ex President Roosevelt during his recent visit to England has Influenced Mrs. Nicholas Longworth to look around for a London residence. Next year she will be Installed in one of the loveliest man sions in Park Lane, overlooking Hyde Park, a district that abounds in multi millionaires. The house she has decided upon was that built by the late Alfred Beit, the South African diamond merchant, who died almost immediately after he went Into residence. It is said that the house, with its stabling and other of fices, cost that enterprising gentleman at least $1,000,000. Since his death it has been put up for sale on several oc casions by his executors, but the price has been so prohibitive that no one with sufficient money has come along to secure it. This mansion is regarded as the most lavishly equipped private residence In England. Yet there is a complete absence of the vulgarity of wealth about it. In ternally its scheme of decoration is mod eled somewhat on the lines of Sunderland House, the residence of the Duchess of Marlborough. Mrs. Longworth could not see her way to buy the house right out, but has leased it for a number of years at an annual rental which is in the neighborhood of 10,000. If it were not for the King's death she would go into residence at once, but next year she will be one of London's leading hostesses. Music has come to be such a recognised accompaniment to meals that diners-out take it for granted, except when the fount of conversation runs dry. and then they bless the orchestra. Bathing to Orchestra Music. According to an American friend In Paris there is to be a further extension of the use or abuse of musio in the French capital. As bathrooms are not very common in Parisian homes, many Parisians go out to the hot- air and med icated bath establishments. The proprie tor of one of these is placing an orchestra in the center of his building so that sooth ing or invigorating tunes may penetrate into all the cabins. In future, musio will be combined with fcraa or sulphur baths. . Melodies calcu month for his second quest of the South Pole. Captain Scott was the commander of the Discovery expedition in 1901 and 1904, when he reached a pofnt situated in latitude 82 degrees, 16 minutes and S3 seconds south; longi tude (about) 163 degrees east. This point was attained on December 30, 1902, when the failure of the dog team compelled the captain and his brave comrades to retrace their steps to headquarters. The Terra Nova Is timed to arrive at Lyttelton, New Zealand, about Oct. 18. Various stores, not shipped in London will be taken on here as also will be 20 horses and 30 dogs and the motor sledges. Captain Scott proposes to leave New Zealand towards the end of November and to penetrate the pack at an earlier date than that elected by previous expeditions. The men of science who will accom lated to act as a tonic will be on tap or sedative harmonies may be supplied to excited bathers. Musical cured may henceforth rank among the freak enter tainments to be given by the up-to-date American tourist In the Gay City. "What Is their secret?" Britishers are asking themselves the question as they see Americans actively pursuing pleasure in the Summer heat. While Londoners are complaining that there can only be one hotter place than their city in the universe or out of it Americans pay lit tle heed to the state of the barometer, and take iced drinks more from habit than necessity. When the sun blazes from a clear sky over London, the Zoological Gardens form one of the most popular open-air resorts. Especially is this the case with Anglo American society on Sundays, when it is the Fellows' Day, and the general public Is excluded. Access to the gardens can MISS CYXTHIA CHARTBRIS, WHOSE MARRIAGE TO HERBERT ASQUITH, SECOND SON OK PREMIER ASQtlTH, IS PRINCIPAL EVENT OF JCILY IN BRITISH SOCIETY. pany the expedition are experts In biology, physics, geology and meter orology.

The cashier put up the . to bill, but the man still held the small change. "You'd better give me a $10 bill," he said, placing the $5 in change on top of the to bill which the cashier put on the counter. The J10 bill was handed over by the cashier, who took the $5 bill and small change, and the man walked out. Two minutes after he left the cashier discovered she had been buncoed out of IS. only be obtained on 9umday by Invitation of one of the Fellows of the Royal Zoo logical Society. Phipps Gives Zoo Big Check. Millionaire Henry Phipps, among other notable Americans, has enjoyed the hos pitality of the gardens this season. So have his children and grandchildren, who among other delightful discoveries found that bears really have an appetite for buns. In recognition of the pleasure af forded by the gardens, Henry Phipps gladdened the heart of the Council of the Society with the donation of a substantial check. Another example of British indebted ness to American dollars is afforded by General Baden-Powell. Fortunately for him, his house, which contains' a fine collection of curios and sculpture, is close to Pierpont Morgan's mansion at 13 Prlnce'a Gate. "B. P.," as he is famil- f . . i eT, - i ' j iarly styled, congratulates himself upon having such a powerful neighbor. "The patrol which Mr. Morgan has provided," he tells his friends, "gives a strong sense of security to all my neighbors. I feel quite safe about my collection when I look out of my windows and see one of the -watchmen patrolling up and down at the back of No. 13." Lunching or dining at the Ritz, I have Been the following representatives of American wealth and fashion: Mr. and Mrs. T. de Bobula (Pittsburg), Mr. and Mrs. Edward Morris (Chicago), and Sam Newhouse (Salt Lake City). Many Americans at Hotels. Mrs. W. B. Leeds and her son are mak ing this famous caravanserai their head quarters for tire season. British widow ers of long lineage and undoubted matri monial aspirations are aware of the fact that the rich and famous American widow is there quartered. But I hear that Mrs. Leeds is by no means keen on meeting fresh aspirants for her hand and dollars. Her fellow New Yorkers at the Rltz include Mrs. Albert Bostwick, Mrs. Janet Bull, Mr. and Mrs. Henry Harrison, Mrs. Andrews, T. Wiley, Mr. and Mrs. H. J. Reckett. and Mr. and Mrs. Greenleaf Sykes. Bo great is the number of rich and well-to-do Americans at present resid ing in London's best hotels that only a small selection of the visitors I come across can be enumerated. They are all around one in the restaurants, or sipping iced drinks on the terraces. At the Picca dilly Hotel are Mr. and Mrs. George Black, from Detroit, while Alexander 3. Steedman, of St. Louis, is at the Cecil. Other prominent Americans en route are F. C. Nichols (Hartford, Conn.), Mr. and Mrs. H. T. Hull (Morristown, N. J.), Mr. and Mrs. Sam Knight, Mr. and Mrs. E. Freshfield, Consul C. Lyon, Countess Leiningen, Alexander Skouses, George Whlttell, Mrs. R. P. Schwerin and family (San Francisco), Mr. and Mrs. D. C. Nugent, Miss Nugent, 'M. Nugent. J. C. Cremer (St. Louis), Mr. itnd Mrs. Edwin Ronberg, Mr. and Mrs. Harry Hart and Mr. and Mrs. Dwight Lawrence (Chicago). The American Express Company is doing a record business. Every morn ing the reading-room Is full of trans Atlantic guests. Sometimes there is a small queue of people waiting to enter their names in the visitors' book. Aristocracy Helps Charity. Americans in Britain are frequently surprised to observe how closely mem bers of the aristocracy identify them selves with charitable undertakings. Two great mansions were the scene of gatherings for charitable objects dur ing the first week in July. Princess Alexis Dolgoroukl gave a concert at her residence, "Nashdom," near Burnham Beeches, in aid of a home for incur ables. ' Lansdowne House was lent to Lady Beatrix Wilkinson by the Marchioness of Lansdowne for a dolls' bazaar in connection with the Waifs and Strays Society. All the stallholders were chil dren. 'Lady Serena Lumley and the Hon. Patricia Herbert ran a novel stall of beautifully made dolls' hats. These titled children were especially success ful in charming Americans into pur chasing their wares. . The King and other members of the Royal Family are often identified with charities. For instance, Prince Alexander of Teck is presiding at a dinner at the Hotel Cecil, July 18. on behalf of the Children's League of Kindness for South London. Younjf people's dances have begun again in good earnest, and are particu larly well attended, but dances for grown-ups are handicapped by a short age of dancing men. This is' because the shortened season due to the King's -death resulted in a clashing of dates for, entertainments fixed in advance. Another cause is the order forbidding the Brigade of Guards to attend any dances this season. This stops a high class supply of clever exponents of the dancing art. Many dances have been cancelled in consequence. NEW APPEAL COURT BUSY English Criminal Tribunal Finds Many Wrongful ConVictions. LONDON, July 9. (Special.) A year's working of the Court of Criminal Afpeal in England has opened up a terrible pic ture of wrongful conviction. Every day while this Appeal Court has been sitting, glaring cases have been brought up and sometimes as many as three convictions a day have been reversed. Before the Appeal Court was estab lished there was no hope for anyone con victed In England of a criminal offense, though the Judge might have misdirect ed the Jury or allowed irrelevant evidence calculated to prejudice the mind of the Jury towards the prisoner. Some Judges strongly opposed the Insti tution of an appeal court. It Is easy now to see why they felt nervous about It. Take the last day's session of the Ap peal Judges. A Cornishman named Rob ert Rodda had been sent to five years' penal servitude, though he had a bona fido defense, because he had reserved that defense In the Police Court a com mon practice in England and the Judge at the Assize Court told the Jury it was merely an afterthought. That was two years ago, but the Court of Appeal has decided the Jury was misdirected and the remaining three years of the sentence have been quashed. In another well-known case, an an tique dealer, Arthur T. Ellis, was charged with charging excessive prices for china sold to a millionaire dry goods merchant named Dickins, who had the collecting craze. The Judge admitted a lot of evidence as to other offenses com mitted by Ellis, not connected with that charge and a long sentence resulted. The Judges nave now decided that such evi dence should not have been admitted and the conviction is annulled. This Court of Criminal Appeal promises to become one of the busiest courts in England. GERMANY RAISES TARIFF Duties on French Wines Are Sud denly Increased. PARIS, July 8. (Special.) The news that Baron von Lancken-Wakenltz, the German Charge d'Affalres here, has in formed M. Pichon that the German cus toms duty on sparkling wines, champagne and cognacs will be raised by more than one-third as from, July 1 has created some surprise In this country, as It was sup posed that the concessions made in the new French tariff had been sufficient to prevent retaliation. The new duty will mean an extra charge of about 13 cents a bottle, and attention is drawn to the secrecy and suddenness with which it has been Imposed.

This leaves II roads whose misfortune it was to bear the burden of fatal accidents to passengers during the year. The roll of immunity Includes roads in every section of the Union, from Maine to California, several great systems operat ing over 7000 miles of line each, as well as little branch lines of below ten miles of single track; lines operated with all the safety appliances known to 20th century progress, and lines operated under as primitive conditions as prevailed on this continent more, than half a century ago. This record of complete immunity, stretching . over 158,657 miles of operated line, represents a mileage nearly seven times that of all British roads, and equals the aggregate of all Europe, excluding Russia, but including the British Isles. What Immunity to fatalities to passen gers over such a vast mileage means may be partly realized from the fact that only twice In half-a century has it occurred on the 23,000 miles of British railways, and never, to the writer's knowledge, so far as statistics reveal, on the railways of any of the great divisions of Europe. Certainly It has never occurred on the ag gregate railways of Europe. It would take seven consecutive years of Immunity from fatalities to passengers in train ac cidents on British railways to equal this phenomenal record of American roads. In presenting similar returns for 1908 It was said that "considering the myriad units of risk involved, the record for immunity from fatal accidents to passengers is with out parallel in the history of railway op eration." How that record has been not only equaled but surpassed is shown in the following statement for the last two years: 1909. No. of companies 347 Mileage 109, OCT Passengers car ried one mlle.18,903,023,000 Passenger s killed in train accident ..... Nona Passenger! in jured In train accidents 2.5SS 1908. 31S 124,050 14,778,268,000 None 2,695 The figures given above as to passen gers Injured in train accidents are equally illuminating as to the safety of American railways, for they demonstrate that with the multiplication of risks in 1909 the number of injured was less by 4 per cent. The fact that no passenger is killed in train accidents is more or less adventi tious, but a reduction In the number in jured testifies to a reduction in the oppor tunities for fatalities. During the last ten years the average of passengers Injured in train accidents on British railroads has been 5S0, which, considering the difference in the units of risk, is 100 per cent higher than the above record for 169,657 miles of American rail way in 1909. The following table, which includes no less than six great systems I of over 2000 miles each, presents similar record for safety to passengers in train accidents Is marred by a single fatality: Number of companies 10 Mileage 2T.6S1 Passengers carried one mile. .. .6,778,612,000 .Passengers killed in train acci dents 10 Passengers injured In train acci dents : 778 These figures show a mileage of 4481 miles greater than all the railways of the United Kingdom, approximately one-half the passenger mileage, and over three times the ton mileage, with only ten pas sengers killed in train accidents, to an average of 20 on British railways during the last ten years. Further analysis of the returns to the bureau Since data along this line have been compiled affords the following statement of the number of roads and their mileage that have records of entire Immunity from fatalities to pas sengers in train accidents of from one up to six years: Number of Companies. BIx years. 1904-09 17 Five years. 1U05-09 ...... 95 Four years. 1906-O ...... 17T Three years, 1907-00 ..... 228 Two years, 1908-00 287 One year. 1909 347 Miles of Line. 9,641 44.894 67,331 69.713 108,710 159,657 Gratifying and remarkable as was the Immunity from fatalities of the class un der consideration in 1902, the fact that for a period of five years 95 American roads with a mileage practically double that of all British railways have carried hundreds and THOROTTGHtY and at the Lowest u T H, I and HL.A1)UKK TROUB1 and INFLAMMATION, NERVOUSNESS, LOSS of STRENGTH and Aliments of Hen. of millions of passengers without a fatal ity to one of them is so at variance with the popular impression regarding the dan gers of American railway travel as to seem little short of marvelous.
