Mostyn. Coming of Age Celebrations. The Hon Edward L R Lloyd Mostyn, lieutenant in the Irish Guards, eldest son of Lord Mostyn, of Mostyn, attained his majority on Friday. Mr Mostyn, and also Lord and Lady Mostyn were the recipients of congratulations from the tenantry on the Flintshire estates, forwarded by Mr H A Cope, of Saithaelwyd, on behalf of the Celebration Com- mittee. The recognition of the coming-of-age will take place during August, owing to the absence of Mr Mostyn with his regiment at Aldershot, and the absence of Lord and Lady Mostyn in London. In the evening a huge bonfire was lighted on a com- manding elevation near Whitford, known as "Carreg Glas." In celebration of the day the local school children were given a holiday. The treats will be arranged for at a later date. At Llandudno the estate office in Mostyn Street was gaily decorated with bunting, and the office staff, as well as the workmen on the estate at Llandudno and at Gloddaeth, were granted a holiday. The first title in the family arrived only a century and a quarter apo, a very modern consideration in a such a house. For the Mostyns derive from the early kings of Wales. Marchud-ap-Cyneu of Brynffanigl was a contemporary monarch with Rhodri Mawr. All of which means, remarks the Evening News," that Lord Mostyn comes of a family whose records go back to times earlier than English students care to grope in. Lord Mostyn marrried twenty-seven years ago a sister of the fourth Earl of Leitrim. She had been left father- less in the preceding year by one of the worst crimes by which the history of Ireland has been darkened-her father was brutally murdered on the roadside near his own property. The first joint sorrow for the young couple came when their first-born died, but Saturday's celebrant brought them consolation and happiness. The Mostyns haye played a not inconsiderable part in the his- tory of Wales.

Fashion in Food. It is not always easy to discover just what governs change of fashion in the good things of the table. We have just now an instance of a reviving taste for an old-fashioned English food, and the revival is all the more interesting because there is a very cogent reason underlying it. The King's Physician has pronounced his judgment in favour of currant bread, which, he tells us, is one of the moat valuable and nutritious things at our com- mand. He would wish to see it on the table at every meal, because of its wholesomeness and palatability. Following on this opinion of so high an authority as Sir Francis Laking, numerous other distinguished men set themselves to work to discover by analysis just what place the currant ought to occupy amongst the foods. The result has been surprising to a degree, and the fruit is now demonstrated to be simply full of nutriment in a shape highly acceptable to the body. In these days, when we hear all sorts of talk, sound or otherwise, about our race degenerating, it is wel- come news, indeed, to find there is ready to our hands so valuable a food, at so trifling a cost. Our ancestors, who were by no means a puny race of men and women, placed great faith in currant bread, and, to pass remote history, we have every reason to believe that the food of the gladiators and athletes of the ancient arena was substantially composed of bread and dried fruit of the currant order.

AMERICAN HUMOUR. "Hallwood's wife has such a sour disposiHon.^ "Yes, and he used to say she was the apple of hit eye." "H'm! He must have meant crab- apple. "Squiah. I want <t peace warrant for Sarah Jones," said a buxom coloured aunty as she flounced into the court room the other afternoon and walked up to the desk. "What's the trouble now. Mary?" the magistrate asked blandly. "What's the trouble? Why. dey's lots of it. She's done blasphemed mah character and dis- played inflamed language toward me an' called me oat of mah name. That's what she's done, an' I reckon that is nuff to make any decent, respect- able coloured lady to want satisfaction." "In what way did he blaspheme your character and nsft 'inflamed' language?" queried the justice. "Sbe done used awful words. She called me a valin fur one thing, and, Squiah, you can see as plain as anything that I's as black cs charcoal. An' then she said I was 'missed from the last place I worked at 'cause 1 got ketched stealing. An' then her inflamed language was 8o ban I don't care to 'spress it." "Well, Mary, I can't do anything for you," remarked Instico Lewis. If you want redress you will have t. see a civil magistrate. Good-afternoon." cl "How's business, Tom?" The old man was washing at the sink after his day's work. "Fine, Martha, fine:" "Does the shop look just the same, with the red geranium in the window? How I'd like to see it with the sun shining in! How does it look, Tom? Tom did not answer for a moment; when he did his voice shook a little. "The shop's never been the same since vou left, Martha." A faint flush came into Martha's withered cheeks. For years Tom and Martha, had kept n. tiny general shop then Martha had fallen ill and after a time had been taken to the hospital. She was out now, but she would never be strong—never be partner in their happy little irade again. "1 can't, get, over a hankering for a- sight of the hop. thought Martha, one morning. "IF I take it, slowly I can s;eh down there ti^n '■o fur. loin 11 scold, but he'll be pleaded ail the same." It took a long time fo rher to drag herself down to the town, but at last, she Mood at the corner of the little street, where- the -hop w;i». All a sudden she Stopped. Ahead, on the curb, .stood Tom.

Its windows were filled with fruit, and an Italian name fluttered on the awning. Then Martha understood. The shop had gone to pay the expenses of her illness.

DEATH OF U BISHOP" DONKHT. AN EXTRAORDINARY CAREER. The death is announced at Bexley. Kent, of Edward Rufane B. Donkin. Bishop of Santa Croce," who maintained that he was an old Catholic Bishop, whom the Patriarch of Antioch had appointed. A charge against him of obtain- ing money from the widow of a clergyman by fraud was recently dismissed a.t the Lewes Assizes. His career had been one of the most remark- able in the history of the Anglican or Roman churches, for this extraordinary man was fre- quently changing his creod- to circum- stances. Donkin was a slightly-built man. with allow. clean-shaven face, and cadaverous look. In the dock he wore a Cardinal's red-buttoned cassock, and carried a. Bishop's crook, giving from time to time di-creet clerical coughs when his word was not believed by prosecuting wit- nesses. Edward Donkin was an Englishman of good family, and claimed to 1 II' a grandson of Oeneral Sir Rufane Shaw Donkin ;md Lady Donkin, daughter of the lato Dr. Markhani. for some years Dean of York. It wns in 1391 he first at- tracted public attention, being then a. young man of twenty-three, adrift in Australia, having left his country for his country's good. Repre- senting himself as [In Oxford M.A., a pretence for which there was no foundation, he obtained admission to a Benedictine monastery under the mistaken notion apparently that. it was there that the world-famous liqueur was di-tilled. Soon after he Idt in di¡rr¡tI" and returning to England by means of forged credentials, oh tained a curacy as a priest of the Church of England in the diocese of Bath and Wells. When the forgeries were discovered Donkin dis- appeared. and was next heard of as a Homan Catholic monk at Glastonbury. Here he took such advantage of his opportunities that he was soon in London, borrowing money on the credit of his brother monks. Being again found out, he travelled to another monastery at Downside, near Bath and, representing himself as an Anglican clergyman anxious to omhrac-e Roman- ism. he was admitted. Once again he abused the kindness and the credit of his hosts, and his connection with Downside terminated speedily. Next, in September, 1904, with characteristic impudence, he imposed upon Father Ignatius at Llanthony Abbey, po.sing as a cousin of the Earl of Minto and a man of means desirous of placing his property at the disposal of the abbey. On his arrival he left Father Ignatius to pay for his cab, and made such a. favourable impression tha.t he was on a tour through England with his host be- fore his fictions were exposed. After this Don- kin for a time deserted the priesthood, afid ap- peared in Paris as "a British nobleman." He travelled ail over the Continent, and in Switzer- land actually became engaged to a vounir Eng- lishwoman. but. after borrowing larce sums from her father, he left without waiting to fix the wedding-day. Finally, lie was unlucky enough, whilst in Rome in the disguise of an English Benedictine, to meet, some of his former monkish friends from Downside, and they exposed him. He was then prosecuted and imprisoned. For a time, he added, he had been in the English College" at Rome, which was his facetious way of referring to his prison experiences. Then suddenlv and mysteriously Donkin blos- somed out as a. full-blown Bishop, and travelled all over America in this character. In January. 1903. he returned to Italy by sea, nnd on the vovagc succeeded in deceiving and defrauding the Bishop of New York. On reaching Rome he was arrested and prosecuted for fraud, and served two months before returning to his vague bis- hopric. In Julr. 1905. he advertised that tie had been appointed Vicar Apostolic of the Independent Roman Catholic Church in Southern Switzerland, and soon after arrived at Oxford, where he turned an old hall for 'Varsity men into an Ora- tory. Money troubles overcame him. and. de- spite appeals signed by no fewer tha.t three "bishops." the public did not subscribe liberally enoutrh to save him. Bailiffs entered the "Ora- rorv." and writ-servers followed Donkin about; and at. times to escape them he toid them he was Father Benedict." After this quickly came the police-court proceedings, and the consequent publicity. On his release from Lewes Prison where he had been under remand. Donkin, with a faithful friend, retired to Bexley, and wrote letters to adverse critics, saying his hours were numbered.

DEATH OF HERR EUGEN RICHTER. BISMARCKS GREAT ANTAGONIST. Thf) death is announced from Berlin of Herr Eugen Richter. the well-known R«»ich-rag deputy. Herr Eugen Richter had of late been heard of but. little. His energies seemed somewhat to de- cline when the German Emperor "dropped the Pilot" and Bismarck ceased to rule the Reich- stag. That great German statesman found in Richter his ablest, doughtiest, and most persist- ent antagonist: and in the last quarter of the nineteenth century a. verbal duel between the two men in the German Parliament was one of the great treats Berlin had to offer. Born at Dnsseldorf on Julv 30th. 1338, and educated at. Bonn. Heidelberg, and Berlin, Richter. says the Pall M'lll Gnzrttr. was elected Mayor of Neu- wied in 1864. but, the appointment, was not. con- firmed bv the Government on account of "over- Liberal opinion- In 1867 he was electtnl to the Reichstag, and became one of the principal orators of the progressist group, taking part in overv econouiit' and political discussion, and com- bating with the utmost vigour every opinion and everv project held forth by Bismarck. In May. ICSll lie denounced from top to bottom the prin- ciples and details of the Imperial Chancellor's working-class legislation, and said the problem of the artisan s needs could only be solved not by the intervention of the State, but by the indi- vidual initiative of the workmen themselves and by their complete liberty of association and com- bination. Every financial, social, and economic reform proposed by the Chancellor was de- nounced bv him as at once impotent and danger- ous: and ten vears later he was declaring as stoutly as ever that the per-isteuf influence of the Iron Chancellor was a calamity for his cnllntry. Equallv bitter was his opposition to the Chancellor's military policy, the enormous ex- penses in which it involved the country and the malefic offWts it had upon natural and beneficent industries and all the amenities of home and public life. He denounced Moltke's candidature for the Reichstag and supported that of M. de Virchow: and in a succession of eloquent speeches he upheld the peaceful and industrial of civic life. and held up to scorn the soldier's glory in the Honour of War. When C'aprivi succeeded Bismarck. lie also found Richter a thorn in the side: but. the great Radi- cal gradually allowed his energies to pau more and more into the world of writing a.s distinct from that of speaking; and of late years his pen in the Liluml Gazettr (which he founded) and other journals has been the chief reminder to the world of the one man whom Bismarck was said to have feared, although a mechanical majority had carefully kept him in permanent Opposition.

RAILWAY ROBBERY IN NICE. BIG HAUL FROM A GUARD'S VAN. A cleverly-planned robbery, at the expon.-e of the Sud Railway Company, was successfully car- ried out. at Nico a few days ago. says a. correspon- dent. It is customary to monthly, to various stations along the line, the salaries of the em- ployee-. the money being placed in bags, to which the seals of the company are affixed. These bags are then placed in an iron safe, carried in the guard's van. and despatched to their destinations. In pursuance of the usual system, two bags, containing nine thousand five hundred francs. were sent, the other day to the stationmasters at Grasse and Draguignan. by tho agent at Nice, all the usual formalities as to the exchange of re- ceipts and -o on between the various officials con- cerned being observed. On the following morn- ing. however, ii, was discovered by the consignees that both bags had been depleted of the cash, and only contained old newspapers. A searching in- quiry was subsequently instituted, but so far with- out any practical result, save to disclose the fact that cleverlv-imitated counterfeits of the seals of the company had substituted for tho origi- nals. proving that, tho robbery must have been carefully premeditated.

ARCHBtSHOPS SUDDEN DEATH. Dr. Cornelius O'Brien. Roman Catholic Archbishop of Halifax, dropped dead on Friday night from heart failure.
