Vh.1 1. At a meeting of the Royal Philatelic Society the members had an opportunity of inspecting1 stamps from the Prince of Wales's*collection. A Leeds jury found that Fred Barker, 21, killed his mother with a hatchet, and ended his own life with a razor, in a fit of homicidal mania.

"How foolish I was to neglect Anaemia." A London girl's bitter regret. The lesson of her cure by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. In spite of the fact that heavy eyes, pallid cheeks and actual suffering so readily betray the presence of Bloodleasness (Anaemia), it is, in- deed, strange that so many women and girls neglect the appeal of the body for new, good blood. One young lady in London, Miss Lilian Codling, who assists her brother in his business, the "Avondale" Confectionery Stores, at 30, Newington Butts, S.E., in conversation with a Press representative recently, bitterly lamented having been thus r-egligent. "How foolish I was to neglect Antenna I know now; only those who have suffered as I have can appreciate this," she said. Then Miss LILIAN CODLING. NOW "Until IWmf about fifteen I looked th& pic- fure of perfect health. But later my face be- came pale, and I suffered with palpitations and breathlessnes3; if ever I hurried, or became excited, the attacks came on and my existence was wearisome. "I was treated by several doctors, but my state became most distressing. My body ached mv joints were fearfully painful'f iliy'aiikles swelled and I had a horrid weakness across my back. I grew terribly nervous and irritable. My eyes were sunken and I suffered incessantly from headache. "At night I used to crawl into bed quite ex- hausted, yet what sleep I obtained did not rest me, and I was always tired out. "As for food, I tried to avoid eating, for fear- ful indigestion pains would seize me across the chest soon after taking food. "About this time a married sister who had suffered badly with Rheumatism was completely cured by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, and she re- commended'me to try the same remedy. j "After I had taken about six boxes of these Pills my heart, which hitherto had felt so over- worked, did not trouble me at all, and I could breathe freely. As I persevered the pills built up my strength, and in time I ws^ restored to health. I enjoyed sound and refreshing sleep at nights, and could take my meals quite regu- larly without any unpleasant after-effects. My food nourished me and I quickly regained my lost weight. ( "What pleased me.most was the cheerfulness that came to me, and the ease I enjoyed j from headaches and backaches. I had never felt so well in all my life,; my complexion had be- come soft and smooth, and every trace of An$emia was banished." Dr. Williams' Pink Pills enrich the Blood and give tone,to the nerves. Thus they have cured Anaemia, Influenza's After-Effects, Indigestion, j Neuralgia, Spinal Weakness, Uli-e umatisin, Sciatica, St. Vitus' Dance, Paralysis, ttudj Eczema. The genuine pills bear the full name on each package, in seven words Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People.

WAR AS A CRIME.
WAR AS A CRIME. ,:{: I believe," said Lord Loreburn at tlia annual dinner of the International Arbitration League, "that before long, and in good time," at all events, people willicomo to regard war, unleg jot lé, imposed by the* strictest necessity of self-defence, as one of the grossest crimes that can be committed against msfj^ind." He added that he thought always to the honour of Sir William Randal Cremer, to whos £ memory j he proposed a silent toast, that in season and out of season and in utter scorn of criticism he » upheld- that cause, and he would alyt&ys deserve I' to be remembered when the cause had secured jits ultimate triumph. vj ■■■mi ——— il I II.

SOLICITOR SENTENCED. After a seven days' hearing the trial wa-s con- cluded at the Central Criminal Court of Frederick Charles Davis, aged forty-five, a builder, of Broadstairs, and Frank Ridley, aged forty-six, a solicitor, in practice at Aldgate High-street, London, upon a. charge of being concerned together in forging and uttering cer- tain deeds purporting to be deeds of settlement of the property of Frederick Charles Davis upon 'his three children. The jury found both defendants guilty. Davis was sentenced to five years and Ridley to four years' penal servitude. A brother of Davis had also been charged with complicity, but when he had given evidence Mr. Justice Phillimore ad- vised the jury to acquit him, and he was dis- charged.

One of the features of the Imperial Inter- national Exhibition at Shepherd's-bush will be the glass works, which proved a great attraction to last year's visitors to the White City. In order that visitors may this year obtain an uninterrupted view of the glass works, a piat- form has been erected which runs round the interior of the building. The roof has been raised several feet in order to secure perfect ventilation and a uniformly cool temperature. Visitors will thus be able' to- watch; "the entire process of manufacturing the finest English glass, from the mixing of the material' to the completion of the finished article, under ideal I conditions of comfort.

j OUR LONDON LETTER.
OUR LONDON LETTER. iD j [From Our Special Corr espondent.] By a majority of thirty-five votes the House of Commons has again declared itself in favour of extending the vote to women. The Bill has passed its second reading and has been relegated to Committee, and no doubt that will be the last of it. The House of '> Commons does not mind giving these little expressions of opinion—in fact, it seems to | like at rather—but while the Government de- clines to stretch out a helping hand a Bill introduced by a private member, whether on women suffrage or any other question, dcea not stand a ghost of a chance of passing into law. This particular Bill was not one for securing votes for women only, but for "every person" of full age not subject to any legal incapacity, and who has a thre-3 months' resi- dential qualification in a constituency. The women's suffrage societies repudiate the Bill, their demand being for enfranchisement on the same terms as men. Adult suffrage may be a long time coming, and they do not care to wait. There is something humorous in the fact, mentioned by one of the speakers in the debate, that all the wardresses in Hollo way Gaol, who have had a good deal of expe- rience of the suffragists, signed the great petition which was presented to the House the other day against women suffrage. This is a particularly nasty way of hitting back. Croydon, which is now in the bustle and excitement of a by-election, is the largest single-member constituency in the country. It contains more than 150 miles of streets, and the canvassers of the three parties whose candidates are before the electors, have a big piece of work on hand. There was a three-cornered fight at Croydon at the gene- ral election, the result .being that thedate Mr. Arnold-Forster was returned with a majority of 638 over his Liberal opponent, j while the Labour candidate polled 4,007 votes, 3,586 below the Liberal. The candi- dates are again Conservative, Liberal, and Labour. In recent years there has been a great; change in the character of the elector- ate of Croydon. The boundaries have been extended, and building operations have been conducted with remarkable rapidity, attract- ing to the neighbourhood thousands of arti- sans, who, working in London during the z, o day, know Croydon only as a place for sleep and restful week-ends. This is to be the wonderful year of avia- tion, and already the wonders begin. There is an exhibition at Olympia, which is the first of its kind ever held in this country. In a few years, no doubt, the display of aero- planes and flying machines now on view will appear as much out of date as boneshakers are compared with safety bicycles, or as the first steam car with the most modern of automobiles. At present, however, the dis- play at the Aero Exhibition is to most people one of the wonders of the world. There are some very remarkable things to be seen there —aeroplanes, biplanes, monoplanes, quadru- planes, to say nothing of heliocopters and orthopters and other ingenious contrivances for conquering the air. It is an interesting occupation for the, general public to examine these various inventions and try to find out what really is the secret of flying. But to make a: machine is one tiling, and to get it to fly is another. What the aeroplane exhibits i now on show can do one cannot, say, but only one of them has as yet achieved anything. That is a biplane, on which Mr. Moore Bra-j bazon has made many successful flights in 1 France. It is very remarkable to notice how ill-luck-' seems to cling to certain theatres, or to theatres in various localities. The latest instance of this is the sudden end to Miss Marie Dressler's season at the Aldwych. Almost every theatrical venture in both the theatres in the new thoroughfare of the Ald- wych has resulted in failure. All sorts of things, from grand opera to musical comedy ihfcve been tried at the Waldorf without site- cess, and even the ever-popular "Dorothy" did nothing particular. At the Aldwych Theatre the story is the same, only perhaps even 'more so. It is said that on one play over Y.20,000 were lost. Some of the plays put. on have been good, and some have been poor,, much in the same way as at other theatres, and the ill-fortune of the thorough- fare is the more surprising as it is in aa admirable position. Crinolines, curled whiskers, and other re- markable characteristics are to be seen at the Royalty Theatre, where Mr. Somerset Maug- ham's delightful "The Noble Spaniard" was produced on Saturday night. The play is y t, called a "Victorian farce," and is an adapta- tion from the French. It provides Mr. Charles Hawtrey (who received a warm wel- come back to work after his recent illness) with a capital part. Mr. Hawtrey, of course, is "The- Noble Spaniard/' and with his perfectly beautiful whiskers, his dashing manner, his cape and big sombrero, he lives up to his magnificent style and, title—"Don Ferdinand Francisco Maria Lomnsy Ori, Duke of Hermanos, Marquis- of Alcala, Knight of the Golden Fleece, and a grandee of Spain, with the right to wear my 'at in the presence of the King." Miss Kate Cutler and Miss Fanny Brotigh are charmingly Vic- torian, and the new Royalty, play is a very merry play indeed. Before the new tariff was adopted in America there was a duty of 60 per cent on imported works of art, as a consequence of which many famous American collectors who had picked up treasures in Europe kept them in the old world rather than pay.for the privi- lege of having them in the new. Perhaps the greatest of American collectors is Mr. Pier- pont Morgan, who has spent several fortunes in pictures and other works of art. He would have spent several more fortunes in duty if he had not kept many of his purchases in London. He declared once that he would sell his \iorks of art or give them to some Euro- i pean museum, rather than pay "one cent. of the idiotically barbarous duty." To pay a tax of 60 per cent. on a picture which costs a quarter of a million, the price which Mr. Morgan paid for Rubens's portrait of the Grand Duke, would no doubt be a little an- i noying, even for a Crosses like Mr. Morgan. So he kept his wonderful possession at his London residence, but some of them may cross the water now that the United States Government has abolished the duty in the case of works of art more than twenty years old.

GIFT PROBLEMS SOLYED- All of us realise how easy it is to-make others happy by a well chosen gift; but in the multi- tude of possible gifts that surround us on. .evry. handy /how rarely our choice- falls on a gift that is suitable in every way. Looks must of course have something to do with it-utility too— and preferably one's gift should not be of passing interest; but occupy the same or a deeper iliche in a friend's esteem after the years have passed away as it did when first presented. Given these requisites, the choiee of the thoughtful would be hard were it not for the* Onoto" pen-that seems. to combine all the merits one- should expect in a gift—and which; is as acceptable to mere man as to the queen of the' boudoir. A fountain pen that fills itself, and which never distributes a generous dole of ink on gown and garment, is a novelty one can appreciate. And the good news is true—the Onoto is all that is claimed for it. A half-guinea spent, on such at treasure for one's self or for others is surely well spent— p.nd of course, there are .better models at, higher prices—in silver tfnd gold to gladden the heart of the fastidious. A small booklet about the Onoto pen which may be obtained, priceTOs.

England were beaten on the day's play, though there was not nead)" t'iie disparity be- tween the sides w'cli the margin of points would leave one to imagine.
