GIVE UP THEm OPERA BOX-
J Henry Smith nnil Bride to IlenminAbroad This Winter
New York Nov 11 That J HenrySmith and his bride formerly Mrs WRhlnolander Stewart do not intend toreturn to Now York this winter is Inferred from a private cablegram receivedhereyasterday from Mr Smith in whichhe said that he would not require his boxat opera in the coming season
For several years Mr Smith has occu-pied on Monday nights box 2ii in theGolden Horseshoe at the Metropolitan
Opera House This box belongs to theestate of tho late Samuel D Babcock-
It is understood that Mr and MrsSmith Intend to remain abroad for thewinter and that they will go to Egypt-
for the ReasonMrs Smiths sister Mrs Anthony J
Drexel who had been hero for the Jammonth sailed for Europe a few days agoand will probably Join Mr and MrsSmith who have been for some time inScotland where they were married a fewmonths ago
JUDGE WILL DROP THE FIGHT
Kimball Accepts Decision in NolleProssing of Cases
Declare However lie has FoundSevern Instances Where Rule Does
Injury to Innocent Persona
Judge I G Kimball of the PolleeCourt while accepting the decision ofCommissioner Macfarland regarding thenolle pressing of cases by the corpora-tion counsel and his assistants as finalie disposed to believe that the Commis-sioners are mistaken in their assump-tion that be was Incorrectly informedregarding two cases which he recentlybrought to their attention
The decision Of the Commissioners ofcourse settles the matter as far as I amconcerned said Judge Kimball Theassumption of the Commissioners however that I was misinformed with re-gard to the two cases which In my opin-ion were without warrant of lawbrought before me for trial to an
oneThe cases were brought to my per-
sonal attention within a week of thedate on which I wrote to the Commis-sioners la one of those instances awarrant was issued sad by some mis-take it was served on a man of the n mename who was haled into court toanswer to the charge When the easewas called the prosecuting policemanformed me that the man at the bar wasnot the oae for whom the warrant hadbeen issued
This fact he said he bad explainedto the assistant protfjMittng attorney MrPush I asked Mr Pugh for an explana-tion and he replied that under the Cornraisakmers order he was required topresent the ease for trial The defendantof course was immediately dischargedbut at the same time had been compelledto appear court to answer to a chargeof which be was wholly guiltless
The other case was that of a womanover seventy years of age who wasbrought into court charged with a minorinfraction of the building regulationsThe evidence developed that site was notthe owner of the property in question andIn no way concerned with the manage-ment of it Nevertheless she had beencompelled to appear in the Police Courtand remain until her case was called
In my opinion the assistant prosecuttog attorney would not be usurping thepower delegated to the Judge by enter-ing a nolle prosee In these cases Onessimilar to these are constantly occurringand as a Judge who to called upon toadminister the laws to the best of hisability I would feel myself derelict inmy duty If I did not call these mattersto the attention of the Commissioners-
In my letter I was careful to say thattheir order an enforced caused needlesshumiliation to citizens who were beinghaled into court on minor charges whichupon Investigation by the corporationcounsel and his assistants might be nolleprossed
A broader interpretation of the orderby these officials might tend to relieve thesituation The question of adding to ordetracting from my own duties did notoccur to me as I am willing and glad totry every case justly presented to me Inthe two eases I have mentioned howeverthere certainly seems to me ground forthinking they should have been acHepressed
In Commissioner Macfarlands recom-mendation on Judge KimbaHs request hesaid the Commissioners were disposed toassume that he Was incorrectly informedas to the facts in the cases since it wasplain that neither of them under theletter and spirit of the law should havebeen taken into court

Washingtons most exclusive social iswondering now whether the royal Teck Its
going to make himself as scarce withthem the thirtysecond Henry ofReuM did They are hoping for the bestand are preparing for eventualities forTeck will be among them before ibng
But that te sot all Washington it soonto be honored also with a visit from LordCanon formerly Viceroy of India andsoninlaw of Mrs LevI Z Letter TiltLord of Kedleston will curtail his visithere as much as it ic possible for him todo while attending to some business af-
fairs He intends merely to pay a callto a number of personal friends In thiscity It is also expected that while inthis city he will pay his reSpectS to thePresident Lord Carson is in deepmourning over the loss of his wife andit goes without saying there wilt be nosocial functions in his honor
lies Willing lo WedIt Is said with a semblance of authority
that the Prince of Tecks visit to Amer-
ica Is for ta purpose of inspecting allthe New York Brooklyn anti HarlemRiver properties owned by his god-
parents Mr slid Mrs von Andre It te
also claimed that this Immensely valua-
ble property may some day be his ifThe truth of the matter as matrons of
social standing and wealth withdaughters are aware is that Teck
Is coming to pay us a visit for the pur-pose of looKlnc them over Tech is poorand the Tecks are poor In fact theyoung prince makes no secret of the factthat If be can find an American girl ofthe proper beauty wealth and positionhe wont tad any trouble in getting theroyal sanction to marry
She must be to the manner born andrich enough to support a prince who to
close to the throne Teck Is a Jollyyoung fellow who la twentyfour yearsold He is pod looking clever fond offun and an allround likable chaphas been to the war in South Africa Hedances well He plays bridge to perfec-tion and can deal baccarat the Kingsfavorite game He is seen at all the bigrace meets and is a member of thesmartest London clubs Some of themare the Bachelors Naval and MiHtryWhites Jaarlborongh Beefsteak sadPrinces

Should Queen Alexandra survive Ed-
ward this would not prevent the presentPrincess of Wales from being Queen ofEngland at once
And now what interests thte countrymost about the situation is that our royalvisitor would then be the brother of areal live queen He would also be uncleto the next King of England now PrinceEdward Albert Christian George Andrew Patrick David twelve years oldand sure to be King should be liveenough
Career BriefOnce upon a was ia fiH Prince
Francis of Teck resolved to enter busi-ness He was offered a partnership inthe stock brokerage firm of PanmureGordon Co London with a salary of
15000 a year He was delighted and nothaving seen so much real money for along time accepted at once King Ed-
ward thinking the idea of a royal youngster working for a living a reflection onhis position ended that business quicklyHe told the young man that as the fu-
ture Queens brother he couldnt go intoany form of business and told him todraw H0 N a year from the royal ex-
chequer and forget it The princepromptly did and has been drawing onthe public pocketbook ever since
But now the King has told the youngfellow that it to high time he found awife And for the first time King Edward is wilting it is frankly claimed thatone so close to the throne shall

The Dowager Duchess of Manchesterperhaps closer to the throne than any otherwoman In England save the Queen Is anAmerican woman As many of the wivesof the most prominent British peers areAmericans Prince Francis of Teck wouldnot be committing any error by addinganother to the list
The King knows everybody knows thatthe prince has been very attentive tocertain American girls of wealth and so-

STORIES ABOUTMRS LANGTRYM-
rs Langtrys present week engage-ment ta Washington recalls an incidentthat happen out in SL Paul nearlytwenty years ago and in which the Bng-Iteh actress flgtwad as a nonunion workerin composing room of a newspaepr-olBee
At that time the Globe Building hadJust been completed and was the prideof the cMy Upon Mrs Laagtry Westem tour she managed to combine
pleasures with theatrics businessand when she reached St Paul she wastaken to the Globe Building by a Wash-ington man who held the position of cityeditor on the paper
A big newspaper plant was a noveltyto Mrs Laagtry and she expressed greatinterest hi its workings The composingroom especially delighted her and afterwatchIng the printers at work
Ok now I should like to settype
Immediately the actress was shown thenm of the boxes sad provided with aprinters stick With surprfstag dexterityshe set up m type the following sentenceThe bugle Is the crowning glory of St
PaulThe next morning this sentence brack-
eted appeared to the center of a twocolumn story shout Mrs Langtry whoreceived from the editor of Ute Globe acheck for 4S cents the regular printersdupe for the Jersey Lilys labors in thecomposing room
That the souvenir was highly valued isattested by the fact that Mrs Langtrypreserved the chock In a gold frame andhas it yet among her poseesetong in Eng-land
hi recalled by a celebrated Washing-ton manicure that Mrs Langtry was thefirst to introduce into the United Statesthe fad for foot manicures
Mrs Langtry has large feet That Isan Indisputable fact They were the onephysical attribute not considered siteshttely perfect when the English beautyburst upon the world as the most cele-brated of her type Mrs Langtry coneluded that her feet should become fa-
mous as well as the rest of her charm-ing person and in defiance of nature sheset about the foot culture which filledNew Yorker with amazement and thepapers with sensational stories of justhow the beautifying process was con-
ducted It became quite the thing forMrs Langtry to hold a levee during thehour of the morning when her manicuristwas grooming the renowned feet andher intimate friends came front the pres-ence with wonderful tales of the sym-metry whiteness and large fairness ofthe Langtry feet The fashionable womenof New York were soon engaged in simitar foot culture and following MrsLangtrys theory that the human footcould never attain to beauty until thecustom was abandoned of wearing shoesand stockings from morning till nighthalf the feminine population of Gothamtook to Turkish sandals worn withoutstockings during the hours spettt at homein negligee and White androsysoled feet with highly polishednails became the rage and the manicur-ing business took an upward flight in themarket
Mrs Langtry too inaugurated thocraze for pearls among women of thestage She understood the becomingnessof these jewels and that an effect ofheight Js produced by a long rope ofpearls AH of Mrs Langtrys late pho-tographs picture the actress with the
rope about her neck and sheusually effects one of suck length thatit reaches to the floor white she is in asitting posture
The Langtry voice and the Langtrymemory are two very remarkable at-
tributes of this attractive woman who isevery bit as femininely fascinating today Us she was twenty years ago whenshe appeared in The Unequal Matchas Hester Graysbrook with her splendidhair in a plait down her back for theopening act
Having once hears Mrs Langtrys deepfullthroated voice one never forgets itAnd having been introduced to the Eng-lish actress once one is never forgottenby her Her memory for names wellas faces is remarkable and she recallspersons and incidents that figured conspicuously in her first American tour withperfect accuracy of detail
Mrs Langtry in all her American tourshad just one adequate loading man andthat Charles Coghhtn He broughtout the artistic side of Mrs Langtrysacting and played up to it as none of herleading supports have since done

COMES OF MILITARY STOCK
Ilnplil Rise of Englands Most RecentSoldier of Fortune Makes RomanticStory Mnrrlen nn Intrepid WomanBright Future Still Before HimWon Three Medals for Bravery
London Nov Frederick Lugardwho recently resigned post as highcommissioner of Northern Nigeria on account of Ids health has been
described as a fln de steele diveNow only fortyeight years old with
no one knows what great deeds stillbefore him his career i one of themost dramatic and romantic to be foundIn the list of African empirebuildersTall trained down to nothing but skinand bone and muscle with bright keengray eyes strongly marked aquilinefeatures tanned to the color of a pigskincigar case and ferociously bushy mus-
tache he to the beau ideal of a modernsoldier of fortune He came of militarystock and his father was a chaplainin the Indian army but It was as an ad-
venturer the spiritual descendant ofHawkins and Drake bent on such an en-
terprise s singeing the beard of theKing of Spain that he found his chanceto carve a name for himself in the DarkContinent
Starts for Africa with 950With ft in his belt and with practically
no outfit at all except an old 4M ExpressrUle paid for In India in the absence offunds by shooting a maneating tigerwith a reward on its head Lugard got ona tramp steamer hound for Naples andSuez
He had already won three medals inAfrican Soudan and Burma wars but hewas on halfsay leave His money wasrunning short and be was reduced tostrange shifts So he took a deck passageon a timber ship bound for Maesowah andslept among the cargo He took his morn-ing bath among the sailors in Use fore-castle and his meal of broken victualswith the Italian cook in tim galley along-side the engines and that in the Red Seawhere the heat was enough to grill ablack stoker
An Italian boatswain saw though Lugards disguise told him h knew he wasa genUlhomme said astonished him oneevening by saying with a fervid
I do anything for you You wantshirt Here to my other shirt I give ityou because you have good heart Neverwas present more acceptable but the inci-dent throws a flood of light on the per-sonal qualities which enabled this halfpay captain to save Uganda for the empire mind to rise In the space of fouryears to the rank of brigadier general
Saves Umpire to EnglandHe made his own opportunities Hear-
ing that a trading poet In Nyasealand wasbesieged by Arab stove traders as a bitof recreation be organized a relief expedi-tion and drove the Arabs off after a sharplight in which be was badly woundedThe affair led to his entering the serviceof the East African Company When CarlPeters was trying to gain a foothold inUganda for Germany Lugard made adank for it a hurtful ef black solAiers two white comrades and a Maximgun He bluffed Mwanga into a treatywhich ended in annexation
He played a big part in the earlystcrmy days of Uganda He marchedagainst and defeated Kadbarega of Unyore with a force largely composed ofUgandese He led the Christian levies ofUganda when they fought and beat theMohammedan rebels Then he passed tothe other side of Africa where somethingover six years ago he was appointedhigh commissioner of Nigeria His seiz-ure of Sokoto was accomplished so rapidly that the orders of the colonial officeto avoid action only reached him when hewas reporting the accomplished fact
Had Lady Lugard been a man shewould probably have rivaled her husbandas an empire builder Few women havebeen such intrepid travelers or passedthrough so many adventures She hashad a finger In most of the modern
pies She was a confidante of CecilRhodes and was mixed up in the IH
starred Sentence raid That WPS whenshe was sdll MISS Flora Shaw and thecolonial specialist of the London TimesIn which capacity she visited most ofthe remote regions of the empire Butperhaps her most astonishing feat wastramping afoot through th KkmdykeSir Frederick Lugard met duringone of his brief holiday trips home Hesaw that site was the one woman in theworld for him and laid siege to herwith the same dash and audacity thatcharacterized his military exploits Theyare a wellmatched couple
