The Investiture of ths Prince of Wales is to take place at Carnarvon castle during the first fortnight of July, but the exact day of the ceremonial is not likely to be fixed for some time to come. The prince Is to be accompanied to Wales by the king and queen, who will spend three days . in the principality, and it Is generally ; expected that tTiey will eesldf at (Penrhyn castle, .which la to be-placed at their disposal' by Lord Penrhvn. The klna Is to ODen the new jforpi Wales flqllegs sat s1 Bangor during lis ;stay: In the dletrlotj and his cere . monlal, will take place on the day after the Investiture at Carnarvon. The foun dation stone of this college was laid by King Edward. The royal yacht Vic torla and Albert will be at Holyhead during their majesties visit to North Wales, and she Is to convey them thence to Kingstown. In connection with the coronation fes tivities' It has ben suggested that an ;pther Godlva procession should be held at Coventry. After the bickering which centered round the principal figure on the previous occasion, many thought the "ledy- had ridden for the last time. It Is now hoped, in the exceptional cir cumstances. . that the hatchet will be burled, and that Coventry, like other cities, will be enabled to celebrate the coronation with its' distinctive pageant. Canon Masterman hns suggested that the "lady" should be dressed as a Sax on countess, and be accompanied by the .earl. This idea hag not met with mucTi favor from the older Coventry citizens, who contend that any departure from custom wJH rob tbe procession of Its historic interest. Too much buffoon ery. It is paid,. JUns taken place In pre vious pageants. V Concerning High Society Scandal. There has been one good result of the recent "Harriet excitement. You will recall that society "was thrown Into 'a flutter "by the 'statement In the Times . and other papers that ' one "Harriet was endeavoring to. bribe servants to .betray the gossip of the families in which, they were employed, so that it might, be sold to the newspapers. 1 The Countess of Warwick has taken advantage of the affair to put herself straight as to the connection or non fonnectlon with' the famous Tranby (Croft affair. v , She writes: "Twenty- one years ago at a Doncaster race party occurred what Was termed the 'Tranby Croft scandal.' The American press without exception -7pubHshed--iuy TortraH1te heading, accusing me of having at this ; house party revealed the facts of the scandal to the public, and saying that but 'for my Indiscretion this affair might have been kept secret. 1 have neye been at Tranby Croft In my. life. At the very time this party Was held I. with all the members of the family, ' was In Scotland at the deathbed of my stepfather, The subsequent funeral and our deep mourning prevented me for a long time Joining any social gatherings, . so that I was among the last to hear of what at that time set society agog. t Nevertheless, the American newspapers persisted lp . this ..story whenever . my name was mentioned, and when written la repled ! that the facts had been sent them by their correspondent in Condon, Jftiady moving In the hest-aocletyA From time to time during 21 years this story Is reprinted, and when in New .York three years ago, my having man aged to elude the" interviewer Hid not prevent the reappearance of 4fle Inevlta ' Jble portrait and the Inevitable tale, in : th nniirst of time, if m V nbltnarv tin.

The late king, who waa then Prince of Wales, was one of the house party and was a witness In , the subsequent lawsuit.

I don't want one very old." Such - brilliant Tuccess - attended -the precedent set by the "Maries" of the United Kingdom In combining to offer a coronation gift to the queen, that the "Georges" are now uniting to offer a similar gift to the king. Steps are be ing taken by Lord Stradbroke and sev eral others to organise ihe "Georges." open a subscription list, and give effect in a spirited manner to the proposal. The executive committee of Queen' Mary's coronation gift states that they have received most encouraging reports of the enthusiasm with which the Idea has been taken up all over the country. The donations are limited from 1 penny to 1 pound, and restricted to having as one' of their names Mary, May, Maria, Marian, Marlon or Marie, the list Of all donors to be given to the queen, though not the amount given by each. The disposal of ,the money will be left entirely with her majesty.

Scientists are greatly Interested in a discovery which has Just been announced. A professor in the University of Bologna has made the important discovery that radium is to be found in dew. He has arrived at this conclusion after observations cov ering a long period. He placed at night fall a piece of glass over certain plants. At dawn he foundthe glass impreg nated with a radio active power sensi bly affected by the sun.-- This power Increased perceptibly for some min utes. After that the glass was removed further from the earth, and then in about an. hour the radioactivity disappeared. Several strange stories are tola con cerning Countess Tarnowska and her Is a .Russian prince, a man more than twice the age of the countess, of whom he is a devoted admirer.-- He attended the trial and , has remained In Venice since It ended. He visits her regularly and rarely a day passes that she' does not receive a letter from himl These facta have given rise to the statement that if the countess regains her free dom, as many confidently anticipate, she will marry her aged admirer. . Her brother was recently "convicted of mur der in Russia. She waa ..convicted, of killing her husband. ? ,;; ..' ,. ., ' Sometimes we hear of a man reading his own obituary, but it is a rare thing for a dead man to sing at his .own funeral. Pletro Flcco, of Pisa, a shoe maker and amateur ' musician, had a great1 fondness for the phonograph. He purchased many records and occasion ally sang- into his own phonograph, keeping records of the songs. He .was taken seriously ill and realized that he could not recover. ' Being poor and unable to afford much of a funeral he requested that his phonograph should he utilized to furnish the music for the funeral service. m He picked out "Angel's Serenade" and Gounod's "Ave Maria," sung by him self, and these were used, and thus the dead man took an important part at hta own funeral service. He instructed that his phonograph and 72- records should be sent to his mother who lives in Palermo. LLOYD GEORGE IS ILL; CONDITION IS NOT SERIOUS Liberal Leader Suffers.

(Publlibers' ma Lnwd Wire.) London, March 4.TLloyd George leader of the Liberals, has been in poor shape but not In a serious condition. He has among other things been suf fering from a sore throat. The Tories hays taken advantage of his indisposi tion to circulate a report that he Is suffering from cancer. There is not the slightest doubt !hat owing -to the serious strain the Chan cellor of (he exchequer put upon his throat during the election complica tions have ansen that make it neces sary for him to keep exceedingly quiet. Nowadays the most trivial complaints tr magnified by society scandal mongers Into the most horrible diseases the wish, in some cases, being father to the thought.- The talkative wife of a Tory marquis is credited with hav ing set the story afloat In social ch elae. Suffragists Would Oppose Cenaua. In moving a resolution at the V'o men's Freedom league .meeting pro testing against the . omission of wo men's suffrage from the king's speech, and threatening the hampering of gov ernment business by tax resistance, Mrs. Despard said they- were calling upon the women to absolutely refuse any information when the - census pa pers came around.- So , far aa they were concerned there should be no census. If, however, the government gave a pledge that the suffrage bill would be taken, this session' there1 would be no occasion for this form of protest. The resolution was carried. " The coronation committee is complet ing the arrangements in connection with the representation of the self gov erning and crown colonies at the forth coming coronation, and also as to the inclusion of certain of the colonial military forces in the procession. As to the civil representatives, invitations are being issued to the prime ministers of Canada, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa and Newfoundland, who will on the occasion be treated as royal guests. I The colonial office has decided ti exolude the contingents ' of black sol diers from West Africa and other crown colonies from' taking part in the cele brations. 1 On the occasion of the coro nation of King Edward the native sol diers were "housed", in the Alexandra Palace grounds, but as they -were not strictly on military duty,, and had a good deal of leisure In , many Instances they ran out pf bounds, with consequent scandal. -' ' During , their stay here they went about the, streets linked arm in arm with white women calling themselves respectable.

English women think It altogether proper to walk In public with black men. ? ; ' Coggestloaa for Imperial Conference, ' Amongst other suggestions for con sideration of the imperial conference, which la to be held here the following have been submitted by New Zealand. That there should be an Imperial council with . representatives from all constituent parts of the empire, and in fact, .-advisory to the Imperial govern ment on all questions affecting the. in terests of the over sea dominions. That the high commissioners be in vi ted . to a ttend t h emeethtg8Tfrthe committee of defense when questions on naval or military imperial defense affecting the over sea dominions are before long will have assumed df!nlu shape. There will be a chorus ef more thn 6000 voices. ' -. , I It Is proposed to erect a mosque here, the capital of the greatest Mahomnlan power In the world. The building is to cost f 600,000, to which the Ait Khan has contributed 126,000.

That there should be more uniform ity throughout the empire in the, law of copyright, patents, trade marks, companies, accident compensation, naturalization, immigration, aliens ex clusion, currency and coinage. The stolen bicycle trade must be something considerable. In J this city alone during the past 18 months, 1200 machines have been reported as missing, and every city and town has a lengthy list. The magistrates apear to regard cycle thefts as a trivial offense. The other day a man concerned in five separate' thefts was released on sus pended sentence. Coronation Committee Makes nans. Although the Festival of Empire la not to be Inaugurated until May, prep arations are on so extensive a scale that already there are employed at the Crystal ' Palace 6000 workmen. The festival, will consist mainly of a mag nificent pageant under three heads,, tbe first of which wll be an "All-Red Route" and reproductions of thfl-parlia-ment buildings of the over seas domin ions; the second an all-British exhi bition, to be held in the palace Itself; and the third the pageant of London. The AllrRed Route and the parliament buildings alone constitute an under taking of great magnitude; but they are being pushed on with rapidity, and 1 :Y ROADS (PublJahers' Press Leeted Wire. -Calcutta, March 4. There la rather an interesting story connected with the missing by the German crown prince ; of (he recent Talukdars fete at Luck now. His Imperial and royal highness started In a motor car for a drive of some length. - , k The prince - took the wrong turning, and his staff, who were following In a second car,, proceeded by the direct road. Eventually the prince's car '. broke down In the country, and some Inhabitant of a neighboring village gathered round to assist. Suddenly a . cow charged the throng, knocking down and injuring an old woman, whom the prince personally attended. After housing the car the prince and his driver took the rjver: boat fo ; short ' distance, and then, In an ekka (a coun try vehicle) drove across country to a small railway station,: where the prince telegraphed to Lucknow Inform- ' ing Sir John Hewett, the lieutenant governor of the United Provinces, of his adventure. -'" After traveling' during the night in an ordinary railway carriage the crown ' prince reached Lucknow early in the morning. He was highly entertained by the novel experience, which gave him a chance of testing ordinary traveling In India and of seeing the country. Meanwhile his staff, both by motor car and train, had made, a . vigorous search for the prlnce On receiving ' by telegraph news of the prince's aafety they, returned to Lucknow. i . -, .
