That is to say, he asked the people oLUiis-Uy-M pproyehiapolicyhich:"wasthat notwithstanding ihe wealth and respectability of the city - - necessary and proper beside levying a 40-milI tax upon ; the -property, to levy a monthly tax upon a rice that has -' for hundreds of years been under the ban of the civilized r world, and in return for the money so levied to tiSe the - instruments, officers and machinery of the government to . give this vice protection.

When he challenges, any; " wic to show" that any "6he"'6TTiis appointees has been guilty of dereliction, it is sufficient to answer the chal lenge by saying that the condition of tiun must be due to the action or to the non-action of every one of his appointees."

The thirds a lively sense upon the part of London society of favors to come, for when Mrs. Astor entertains she entertains re All Mayfalr hopes to be invited to the function she has promised for May and June, Thla combination is' irresistible. Like Mrs. Oeorge Keppel. Mrs. Astor ha tha way of telling a atory In the little ahafta of Wit with a smile, a lauaih and an Incredulous star from her great, glowing eye. Her eyea would have been her fortune, saya all London- society, even if she bad not become the bride of one of New Tork's richest men. Thess and her splendid carriage, alngularly dis tinguished presence and beautifully reg ular features have helped make her a regal figure at even, the most exclusive affair. Mrs. Astor' gown ar of two distinct styles. All come from Paris, and she seldom wears one more -than twice. In the daytime she is very partial -to the plain but intensely smart English tailor made gowns, but at night she is a vision of beauts-ln aWeeplng frocks made in i. tha picture-style, with-her 4alr dressed In soft -waves, wnicn ran loose and softly, forming- almost a halo around her face. " . .She does-not wear many jewels, but these are always in tuna with . her .gowns. In this Mrs. Astor follows her mend, Mrs. Adatr.

The extensive alterations made at Rushton Hall, th historic man- slon in Northhsmptonshlre, which he has acquired, have already been noted, but that heIntended to make Ahoitoy ; of hortlsultore there In It most fascinat ing form haa heretofore been kept quiet. Recently Mr. Van Alen visited Highbury, where he saw Mr. Chamberlain's famous collection, of orchids. Hla quick eye and ,itntlv memory enabled him to carry a diagram of Mr. Chamberlain' scheme of cultivation away with him. This he placed before Jamea Carmlchael, ;srdnr,- giving, at th same time, lntructlon that neither pains nor money was to be .spsrea in in errori to equal and, if possible, to surpass the Highbury display. Carmlchael, who was for many yeara In the service of the T&letltOT 1 'SIMJUI !IR th country for the rssrest specimens of the orchid family, and a few days ago succeeded lh obtaining wnat ia known aa a duplicate orchid.

' - For a number of years King j!.a-wara has had to draw upon tn resources of Highbury for his supply of orchids. When foreign potentate visit th king and they are known to favor thl par ticular flower a apeclal messenger is dispatched to Highbury and a supply ob tained. Of course. It will be some time yet before Mr. Van Alen will be able to produce!
