7 OUR LONDON LETTER. .t¡'.0…
7 OUR LONDON LETTER. [From Our Special Correspondent.'} The Committee of the Mansion House Fand for the memorial to King Edward has suffered from no lack of suggestions as to the form which the memorial should take. Seventy-eight propositions have been re- ceived, of which, it is interesting to note, eight favour the purchase of the Crystal Palace by the nation. One of the suggestions received is for the placing of am effigy of the late King in every town and village in the country, which does not seem a particularly useful idea. Neither does the proposal to erect five lofty towers on London heights. Others, such as a miners' orphanage, a hos- pital for soldiers' widows, a free cancer hos- pital, and a, working girls' hostel, have more to commend them to public favour. One of the most interesting is the proposal for the erection of a monumental chapel in connec- tion with Westminster Abbey for the con- tinuation of the roll of monuments. This scheme was first put forward some years ago,, but it was found impossible then to acquire the, property standing upon the site required. That difficulty no longer exists. I saw the other day in Fleet-street a young American named Frank Reilley, who left St. Louis in June, 1908, on a tour round the world. If he reaches St. Louis on December 2nd next, having fulfilled the conditions laid down for his journey, he will win a wager of five thousand dollars, and a substantial sum in addition. But one of the conditions is that hoe must take back with him a wife, and he has not found her yet. He has had lots of proposals, he says, but has rejected them all, so far. He is waiting for Miss Right to come along, and when she does come she must pop the question herself, for the conditions of the wager will not permit Reilley to do so. He has had plenty of adventures in the various countries he has visited, and a guide who attempted first to rob and then to kill him, got shot himself instead. Reilley may win his wager or he may not, but his task has been a comparatively comfortable one compared with tllat of an Englishman who started out from Trafalgar-square nearly three years ago wearing an iron mask and pushing a perambulator. It was given out at the time that he had undertaken, for a wager of X20,000, to travel round the world like that. He also has to find a wife on the road. It would be interesting to know how he is jogging along. The Censor seems to have distinguished himself once more. It is some time since he did anything remarkable, but he has evi- dently been on the alert all the time, and now stands forth as the champion of the im- mortal memory of King Georg'e the Fourth. Not King George the Fifth—that could have been understood—but the fourth George, who died eighty years ago. Mr. Laurence Housman has written a play in which there are some references to that monarch. The references are probably not particularly complimentary, but then nobody has ever been particularly complimentary to King George the Fourth. However that may be, the Censor has banned the play, and one cannot help wondering how long a kimg has to be dead before he may be mentioned on the stage. Eighty years certainly seems long enough, but it is evident that the Censor thinks it is not. That was a fairly big cheque drawn the other day by the Royal Mail Steam Packet Company for the purchase of the shares of the Pacific Steam Navigation Company, but it was by no means a recQrd. The amount was £ 1,347,825. The largest cheque ever signed was paid over the Bank of England counter to the Japanese Minister as the first instalment of the Chinese indemnity for the war of 1895. It was for the nice little sum of EII,008,875, and the second instalment was a cheque for £ 8,225,000 Is. lOd. Japan might surely have knocked off the Is. lOd. There have been other big cheques. De Beers drew one for the tidy amount of £ 5.338,650 when they bought the Kimberley Central Company, and Mr. Pierpont Mor- gan's cheque for J4.781.754 2s. 8d.. drawn in connection with the disposal of Mr. Car- negie's steel holdings, was not to be sneezed at. At the other end of the scale there was a cheque for 2d. paid for a fare in the early daye of the Twopenny Tube. The record for the smallest cheque is held by America, for the American Treasury, having made an error in the salary of President Cleveland made out in his favour a cheque for One cent, to put it right. I The new guide to the Museum of the I Royal College of Surgeons, which has just been issued, makes remarkably interesting reading, though some of the objects men- tioned therein may seem to be more than a little gruesome. There is no accounting for tastes, and there are some people who are unable to appreciate a half-holiday spent amolig the skulls and skeletons of mur- derers and notorious criminals, and would find nothing specially entertaining in the sight of a genuine rib of Robert the Bruce, I showing the fracture which that Scottish hero sustained in a jousting match. But for those j who do enjoy this kind of thing, the Sur- ge(kns, Museum. is just the place to spend a happy day. One of the treasures to be seen there is the skeleton of Jonathan Wilde, who I was executed at Tyburn in 1725; another is the skull of Eugene Aram, that "melancholy man" whose etorv is part of the stock-in- trade of all amateur elocutionists. There is a giant's skeleton of 7ft. 8in., and a dwarf's measurine just 6ft. less; and a heap of other fascinating things too numerous to mention. I Next year will be Coronation year, and it that it will b;> celebrated at the White City, Shepherd's Bush, by an exltibi- tltm showing "the dominion, power, and re- sources of the British Empire." For the first time in the history of the Empire, there will be seen representatives of all races nnd nationalities who. own allegiance to the King, ami their special industries will be ,-epro- duced. In addition to gold-miners, back- woodsmen and other pioneers' of Empire, thtre will be aborigines from Australia, Maories from New Zealand, Red Indians from the Far West, and semi-civil used tribes from the Fiji Islands, coloured people from the Matibele and Bechuanaland, Esquimaux from the Frozen North, and Chinamen from the Malay Peninsula. The homes and habits of these people, interesting, striking and strange, with their work, will be i India's priceless treasures will be adequat vly. set forth, and visitors will able to see how large a part India plnysf hI the prosperity and greatness of the Bit;ash Empire.

.--------'I J.P.'S DUAL MIND.
I J.P.'S DUAL MIND. Pathetic messages were read on Monday at an inquest on MT. Henry Brooks Broadhurst, J.P., of Houghton House, near Carlisle, who shot himself with a revolver at the house of Dr. Tuckey, of Park-street, London, where he I' was staying for mental treatment. Mr. Broadhurst, who was a partner in the firm of Messrs. Tootel, Broadhurst, and Co., cotton fabric manufacturers, of Manchester, was for many years Master of the Brampton (Cumberland) Harriers, and was at one time vice-president of the Royal Caledonian Curling Club. In a letter to his wife he wrote:—" Farewell, beloved. You have been an angel to me. I have also done my best until this illness came upon me. 1 am not sad, but driven mad by my head at night, and see no chance of escaping from here. Thursday or Friday-I don't know." In a Wter which Mr. Broadhurst sent to Dr. Tuckey before he consulted the latter he wrote have been suffering now for nearly three years from a nervous illness. This has come on gradually, and has now resulted in complete loss of control of mind. The symptoms some nine months ago were violent thoughts I and pains and an incapacity for concentrating the thought. If you can understand it, I have I a sort of dual control of mind." Dr. Tuckey said he thought Mr. Broadhurst had suffered from aggravated neurasthenia. Patients of that kind did not, as a rule, commit suicide, although they talked about it sometimes On one occasion Mr. Kroadh urst made a r iark about the cowardice of suicide. A verd ejt was returned of "Suicide while insane."
ATHLETE'S FALSE PRETENCES.
ATHLETE'S FALSE PRETENCES. Proscutcd by f ia SkTf.fl I nn d. Amateur Athletic Association. FicdiuW J nlmson, of Alstree-stieet, Derby, Was »ciitt-iiced to a month's imprisonment at Bunhicv on Monday on a charge of obtaining by false pretences a Georgian silver teapot, value £5, from the committee of the Baiiibury Amateur Athletic Club Meeting, held on July 26th. Johnson in his entry form stated that lie had run at Mansfield off the 190 mark, at Long Eaton off the 195, at Derby off the 200, and at Ilkeston off the 200 mark. He also stated he had never won a prize at any dis- j tance, and that he had hot competed at an unregistered meeting. He gave the name of ( "A. Yarnsy," of Notts Harriers. After the half-mile race he was challenged I by Mr. Alexander, the handicapper, whose suspicions w.-re aroused by the fact that in j the last lap Johnson was 90 or 100 yards I ahead of any other competitor. In the straight he slackened up, and the second man, Hall, of Spafkhill Harriers, made a spurt, and the result of the race was a dead- heat. There were ten false statements on Johnson's entry form in addition to his sign- ing a false name. ohnson pleaded guilty, and said he did not realise the seriousness of the position he was placing himself in, -As there was nothing against the defendant the Magistrates said he would be treated more leniently than would otherwise have been the case, and they hoped the selld;encewould be a deterrent to others.
BOY SCOUTS IN CANADA.
BOY SCOUTS IN CANADA. Lieut.-General Sir it S. S. Baden-Powell arrived at Liverpool on Monday, after a 9,000 miles' t uir in Canada and the United States, in the interest of the Boy Scouts movement. He said he had visited seventeen centres, and had found an enormous number of small troops at outlying places, while at Toronto h • reviewed 2^500 scouts. At Winnipeg and Calgary there were mounted troops, one of them seventy strong. In America, Mr., Roosevelt was vice-presi- dent of the movement, and already there had been 2,500 applications for officers, which re- presented about 140,000 boys. A great point was that a very large number of wealthy men had taken tin the cause, so they could afford paid secretaries and organisers. That was what was wanted in England, and then they would get on still fastPr.
.LIFEBOAT STATION CLOSED.
LIFEBOAT STATION CLOSED. The Broadstairs lifeboat dispute, which arose over the payment for launch made by the boatmen IlLsL February, has been re- newed. hi June a letter, which purpoited to have been signed by the boatmen was received by the National Lifeboat Institution, in which a settlement of the dispute was zgjreed io. At that time the Institution announced their in- tention to overhaul the boat and to replace it im the autumn. The lifeboatmeii have now been requested to see to its return to Broad- stairs, but t-kfcy have refused. They say they will riot, man the boat, or even raise, it to the slipway until they have been paid for Cli4 launch in dispute. They also deny that they signed, or agreed that their signatures should be attached to the letter referrcd to, and the Institution has now definitely closed the life- boat itatiom. •
