These are simply a few of the many
notable affairs which have already been
arranged and which will make this the
most brilliant social season of recent
years. ,
Investiture of Young Frlnce.
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

J have no doubt the latest1 edition of
a story for which there was not even
a foundation will figure- for the last

' The Tranby Croft scandal ar6se, as
Is, . of course well remembered, of a
game of baccarat at which it was al
leged cheating took, place. The late
king, who waa then Prince of Wales,
was one of the house party and was a
witness In , the subsequent lawsuit.

say she ''would like to go to Canada

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 queen, though not the amount given

RADII IN DEVI
SAYS SCIENTIST
Professor of University of Bo
logna Claims Interesting
Discovery. "
(PtdllBbors' Frew Leased Wire.)
Rome, March 4. 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.

By Paul Lambeth.
(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. One duchess Just showered
attention oil a big black darkey out on
the : Strand. - . 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

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

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.

(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
