OUII LONDON LETTES. c [From Our Special Oorrespondent.) Not for many years has London been eo profoundly stirred as it has been by the terrible crime committed at the Imperial Institute. Indian residents in London have lost no time in expressing their abhorrence of the deed and repudiating the assassin. There is no proof at present that the assassi- nation was the outcome of any deep-laid con- spiracy, but thei 3 ismbtedly a strong belief that the student Dhinasri was hut the tool in the hands ()1.}¡""3 ho remain in the background. Dninh-pri. it s-eems fririy eer- tain, had fallen .J bid T mpany ir, London, and the theory h -c'; put forward that the real instigators of i,i e crime had made him drunk with hh, > it him out to kill, providing him with an cy of weapons. The murders may to a serions consideration of the sy-.tem u der which students are sent fro- .• i -;dia to this country. That many of th ja.pressionable and enthusiastic youths, 11 under seditionacy and anarchical i; n is eortainly true, and it is a danger brii.ish rule in India. London already li:v- n good many bridges, but it wants yet ci :>.<•?, and it is proposed to construct ere ii 7: Blackfriars and Southwai^t Bridges, ihe new bridge, which it is expected will be christened St. Paul's, will be 'approached by a viaduct over Thames-street, frr the East end of St. Paul's Cathedral, ->•* no doubt the City Corporation will tint the new structure shall be worthy of its site. For a long time the need for an inraro e:nent in the means of communication the north and south sides of the river h bouts has been badly needed, and the in r has been occupying the attention of a ..unittea of the City Corporation since J9);). Southwark Bridge was no doubt con • .-d a dandy sort of a, bridge when it was built, but it is held in very little regard cither as a thing of beauty or of us f Its approaches are difficult, and the i gees another way, with the result that t-outhwark Bridge is very little used. It is estimated that the new bridge will cost over a million and a half. All night sittings are a weariness to the fl-sh, and Parliamentary oratory is mostly dull at the best of times, while, prolonged after midnight, it is apt to become of a de- cidedly somniferous order. It is not surpris- ing, therefore, that the other night in the House of Commons some members should have gone to sleep while the dreary stream of budget talk flowed on. And one or two of the sleepers actually snored. Laughing at this kept the other members awake, but the member who was holding forth at the time when the trumpet-like. sound was first heard, thought this was a new dodge of the party opposite to interrupt his speech and to spoil its effect. He said some very scathing things indeed about opponents who were capable of such meanness. Other members shrieked with laughter, and at last the sleepers were awakened. One of them immediately denied that he had been asleep at all, and as for snoring—well, he was positively certain that he had not been guilty of such unparlia- mentary behaviour. Though this member was not of the number, there are some mem- bers of the House c: Commons who, be it whispered, would never be heard in Parlia- ment if they did not snore occasionally. One of the schemes for a repertory theatre in London has died, before being born. Mr. Herbert Trench has made important changes in his plans for the Hay market Theatre. He had intended to divide, the week into two parts-the first to be devoted to plays which, though excellent in themselves, would not be likely to draw big crowds, and the second to be filled by a play of a more "popular" kind, to run as long as the public wanted it. It has been decided to drop the first part of the scheme, for the present at any rate, and to let each play run as long as the receipts at the box-office justify it. At first, therefore, there will be no difference in this respect be- tween Mr. Trench's theatre and the other houses. There will be long runs while the public pays, and short ones when it does not. The repertory idea, however, is to be only deferred. Its financial success, it is argued, must depend upon the support of a strong body of subscribers, and this support is yet to be secured. Not long ago the Duchess of Albany was made the depositary of a sum of Ril,ooo, which was entrusted to her for distribution amongst such charitable. institutions and de- serving persons as she might select. Un- fortunately the news leaked out, with the result that her Royal Highness has been in- undated with applications for money from all sorts of persons, societies, and institu- j lions. All the applicants, it is quite certain, cannot be satisfied, and the task of selection which now confronts her Royal Highness is j one of considerable difficulty. j What will happen to the Empire if, when j the officers and men of the Navy are junket- I ing as the guests of the City, and enemy I ¡ were to arrive and blockade the greater part ¡ of our effective fleet in the Thames? That is the question which has been' agitating the mind of one or two noble lords since it was announced that London is to have a visit from the Navy. Our admirals were playing bowls on Plymouth Hoe when the news came i I that the Armada was sweeping upon our i tight little island. But there was plenty of 1 time to finish the game and get the ships to ¡ sea to meet the invader. Things are dif- ferent now, and London is not Plymouth. It would be a nice thing if a messenger were to rush breathlessly to the Guildhall between the soup and the fish with the news that another Armada had arrived. It would pro- bably be impossible to get the ships down to the Nore in time to give battle, and the officers would have sacrificed their dinnel without saving the Emgirje.^ v í To date the Test match record of the Aus- tralian cricketers now visiting this country ÍS-Dlaytd three, won two, lest one or in other words we must win the two remaining games of the series to recover those mythical "ashes." The word "disgusted" about euTrup the general feeline, in regard to our latent defeat. It is net so much the fact that we h-eve been beaten, but that we have beaten ourselves which engenders the feel- ing. When we lost at Lord's we blamed the selectors, but for the Leeds game England's host eleven had been chosen, men in whom would be.- found that pluck and grit for which Englishmen are famous. But what a rude awakening! True, Jesse p was injured and u.iaalc to bat—but all the mere reason for fiphtin with set and backs to the wall.

PARACHUTIST'S ADVENTURE. Great excitement was caused at Edmonton on Monday night by the narrow escape of a para- chutist named Voukes. He ascended from the grounds of Alexandra Palace during the course of the annual Post Office sports. When in the air, however, he found it impos- sible, owing to the ripping cord failing, to i liberate the parachute, and he was; carried over Tottenham and Edmonton. In the latter dis- trict the balloon was just over the houses, and finally it collapsed on to a roof in Brettenham- avenue. Voukes dropped into the street, but fortu- nately he was not much injured, although he was badly shaken.

GLASGOW FAMILY TRAGEDY. A tragic discovery was made in Clarke- street, Glasgow, on Monday. A widow named Ann Adams (or Anderson), a hawker, was found to have murdered her two children and to have committed suicide. During Sunday the neigh- bours heard the screams of children, but as they thought that the mother was chastising them no more notice was taken of the incident. On Monday the door of the house was forced open, and on the floor of one of the rooms was the woman dead with her throat cut, while 011 a bed lay the two children, Jane and Janet, nine and four years old respectively, who had met death in a similar manner.

DIAMOND MAKER SENTENCED, Lemoine, who defrauded Sir Julius Wern- her by pretending to make diamonds, re- ceived his sentence at Paris on Monday. The volubility and airy -impudence which have charmed the Parisian public during his trial failed altogether to have effect upon the Bench. The "diamond maker" was con- demned to six years' imprisonment, five years' banishment from France, and to the payment of a fine of £ 120. Sir Julius Wern- her, who lost E64,000 through Lemoine, was awarded L400 damages as an instalment.

ATTRACTED BY THE LIGHT. The white glare from an engine's head- lights attracts 11 ost birds that don't go' to roust early, as a lamp attracts sea-fowh and a candle a. mcth. Sometimes an awl, sitting on a tree branch near the line, his round eyes on the look' out for prey, sees a locomotive come tearing along. The bird gets confused and silly, and like as not runs up against the engine. An owl once charged the windows of the cab of an engine. Tile glass was pretty thick, but the train was going at a mile to each minute, and the owl cut clean through the pane! It was picked up alive, but it was not sur- prising that one of. its. legs was broken.

BACILLI IN BOOKS. To guard against insidious bacilli, physi- cians are recommending the sterilising of books in public libraries to destroy noxious germs existing in their leaves and* bindings. That disease has frequently been trans- mitted by the circulation of books has longl been suspected, and the belief has recently been verified. The most careful work in this direction has been done by the Chicago Public Library, e id the doctor in charge reports that he found a large number of bacilli, representing nearly a hundred different poisons and disease germs. Fifty books, selected at ranclorii, werfe examined, and all were found more or less injected. Dry sterilising is re- commended.

Children do not know how to play, but spend their time loafing about the streets, and the Children's Happy Evening Association exists to obviate this, said Lord Northcote at the associa- tion's meeting in London. J The Clyde Shipping Company's steamship Tusker, bound from Waterford to Plymouth, with a large number o'f passengers, went ashore off Cheek Point in Waterford River. Specialisation, says the Earl of Crewe, is the defect of our ordinary education for intending Colonists, as it puts men at a disadvantage with others, of inferior education and ability but with general knowledge. v 11 Mr. G. O. Giles's painting of the King's horse Minoru winning the Derby was submitted for the King's inspection at the Jockey Club, New- market, and the lung said that it was a very good painting, addling: "It should engrave trpll." f'r(Í"

BARONETCY ROMANCE. By a decision in the Law Courts on Monday, I the Rev. John Francis Twiscl-en, of Braclbourue Hall, Mailing, Kent, becomes entitled to ft baronetcy. The point at issue was whether Lieutenant- William Twisden, an ancestor of Mr. Twisden* was lawfully married in 1762 to Marv Kirk. Most of the evidence consisted of old love iettera and other documents, which had bsen carefully preserved for generations, for legal record of the marriage could be discovered. Mr. Justice Bargrave Deane ""t in his letters Lieutenant Twisde i Kirk ao his wife, and she had him as. her husband. Short of a n certificate, there could be no stronger < i.hn': tne two were married than the evidc L i 1 a 1 been produced. He held that the had been established. There was no doubt that the lieutenant's family prided itself on its p~ • and took great umbrage at his connect i' e daugh- ter of a petty officer. Yet t i i wrote' openly and bravely or the i a witn whom h6 had lived fo>* v The new laT.'ex was *cch V d a< Trinity College, Cambridge, and was wrangler in 1848. He was formerly pi of mathe- matics at Sandhurst, and held curacy of Minley, Hampshire, from i to 1:(;8. No property is involved in the decision. L:r.

BOUND, GAGGED AND ROBBED. I Miss Margaret Leyland, an elderly lady, of •Tulketh-road, Ashton-on-Kibble, related at the Preston Police-court on Monday how she was gagged, bound, and robbed. A well-dressed youth named William Sumner, aged eighteen, was charged with stealing from her a gold watch, valued six guineas, and a sovereign, and with attempting- to strangle her. Prosecutrix, who seemed very weak, said pri- soner, who was a distant relative of hers, called at her house, and said her daughter had sent him for a geography book which she had left in a bedroom. Sumner followed her into the kitchen, seized her by the throat, and thrust a handkerchief into her mouth, dislodging a tooth, and cutting her lips. Then, placing her face downwards, he tied her hands and feet with stout cord, and ransacked the house. Whilst prisoner was upstairs witness released a hand, secured a knife, cut the cords, and ran screaming into the street. Accused, who denied the charge, was com- mitted for trial, bail being refused.

SAVED BY THE SEA. An extraordinary means was adopted at West Usk Lighthouse, South Wales, to save a girl from being burnt to death. Miss Clarice Duckham, who had driven over in a pony-cart, was making tea when her dresEt caught alight In a moment she was enveloped in flames, mm Her friei?#; seizing the only way Which seemed possible to save her, pushed her into the- sea. It was only just in time, and even this; drastic rescue did not prevent Miss Duckhani from being terribly burnt, and when she came out of the water was in great pain. There was then another difficulty, for Mis9 Duckham's friend did not know how to drive, f and they were a long way from home. So MislJ: Duckham, despite the terrible pain she was suffering, pluckily took the reins and drove home to the local doctor.

A ROWDY MEETING. Scenes of some turmoil were witnessed at Nottingham when an attempt of the non- militant suffragists to hold a mass meeting was- frustrated by a hostile crowd. The meeting was organised by the National js Union of Women's Suffrage Societies. The j* speakers were continually interrupted, and weret ] pelted with orange peel, paper, and other t missies. A rush was made at one of the waggons* f which was in imminent danger of being tipped, and the speakers had to beat a hurried retreat. The intervention of the police prevented any personal damage, and the meeting had to be brougnt to a sudden close.

A PRISON BREAKER. I Johann Witer, the Belgian waiter, who, 1 escaped from Winchester Prison in April, I pleaded guilty at Hants Assizes on Monday to j various burglaries. It was explained that Witer j got out of his cell with the knife used for making nosebags. He cut out a clean slice from a door jamb and replaced it neatly with the aid of suet pudding and bread. After the tools were removed he took a piece of the iron venti- lator and dug down to the lock. Finally he used the leg of the table to force the door open. Warder Wright, who was attacked, is no longer fit for service. Witer was sentenced to ten years' penal ser- vitude.

A carp weighing 12.1Ihs. 11113 oe-en caught by 11 an angler in the Perm Ponds, Richmond-park. The Centenary Chapel at Boston, one ot the largest and finest Weslwyau churches in the country, has been totally destroyed by tiro. The chapel was built in IF-a') and had recently been re- j stored at a cost of E2,000. I I "you will have to take my word, said Mr. 'St. John Brenon in the Dublin Law Courts to Mr. Healy, K.C.
