OUR LONDON L < firrm Our Special CorrctpcmdenlJ There are various ways of spending a i tlummer holiday, and new ones are constantly ¡ being discovered. The latest is that of a young lady school-teacher, who is an ardent Suffragist, and has chosen to enjoy her vaofflr- I tion in working for the good of "the cause, which in her case takes the form of waiting j outside the House of Commons with others; in j order to nab Mr. Asquitli. It was perhaps ■quite exciting at first, but as the dau? go by and the Premier continues to evade the! ladies who are so anxious to meet him it is to be feared that the school-teacher finds her holiday getting more than a trifle moctioto- nous. The patience of the little Land is wonderful to see. There they wait, hour after hour, while the House is sitting,, in rain and sunshine—arid considerably more of th former than the latter. They are relieved every three hours by others equally patient and enduring, and they have announced their intention of continuing their sentiy-gst till the end of the Session if need be. It is evi- dent, however, thai a. little strategy is amkd if they are to attain their object, for Mr. Asquith does get ffco the House of Commons nnd he does leave it to go home to bed. And the little band waits on. How does he manage it? There was some talk about an underground pas:«?ge, and one Lad visions oj -,tlie Prime Mu-ister of this realm creeping efarfully along in the of the earth ito get to his placc on the Trea- sury Bench, jftnd returning in the same stealthy manner to s'eek his i urd-^vou NSÍi- J1'-m it was suggested that he ^.isi-u^d hiru- self i b the aid of a wig. and Mr. and Mr. Jehu "Ward's slouch bat, oai o parsed unchalleugcd. ■iht r of these tA <. i miorts is correct, it appears. Mr. it Asquitn passes his reientlcws in. u«ies as M* natural self., and the other i • •. at t:1.1.4 o'clock he went from the HOil > xkmning- strt- jt whiie the uitBUsoicici.«,L a lool^d on, with photographs of the Premier in tb-eir hands. It seems" to be q n- ■ .ear thai, though the ladics might make v at of their votes, if they had th-^n. even make admirable men.hers ■- of Parliaatsent, they msb not of much use as -<fcfeciiT€R. The Committee stage of the .Finance Bill, ■ewen with the help of the cloeui *.•, Ia a w '»hty slow business. A whole sitting of !he iious^ of Commons manages to get passed only a few! lines -of a clause as the result of a flood of oratory, and members go home in the mom-j ing with the milk to get a few hours' sleep 1 before starting the wearisome round cmce, J more. All night sittings are not suck lively affairs as they were soirae years ago7 but there have been a few "'scenes, and will no doubt be a good tnany more before the Bill gets through. Mr. Emmott in the chair has a difficult task to perform. H. incurs the displeasure of the more militant section ef I the Opposition whenever he accepts a motion, for the closure, and the other night one of .1 these members brought upon his head a sharp rebuke. A division Was about to be taken, and the Chancellor of the Exchequer paused on his way to the lobby to speak a word or1 two to Mr. Emmott. A member, assuming that the conversation had some reference to a motion for the closure, asked sarcastically, "How many lines are you going to ckratre now T" The Chairman replied "That m moat improper observation. It is most insult- ing to the office I hold, and most unfair: to me personally." The member had gone just a little too far, and the rebuke proved effective, at any rate for that sitting. In his devotion to duty the King sets st! wonderful example to his his accession to the Throne his Majesty has identified himself in every possible way with, the life and work of the nation. Even for him, however, the last week has been one, of an exceptionally arduous nature. On the Saturday the King waS at Rugby, where he opened a new Speech Room at the famous school and delivered an inspiring address to the boys. On Monday he inspected the Terri- torials in Lancashire and presented colours. On the following day he visited Manchester, 1 where he opened a new Infirmary and M- viewed more Territorials. Passing on, be: went by way of Warrington, receiving mi, address and delivering. anotEer highly intsr-1 esting speech. On Wednesday the King was at Liverpool, whence he travelled to Bir- mingham to open the University and to mate the most important speech of the tour. Aft South Kensington on Thursday he laid tfee foundation stone of the new School of Mines, and afterwards at Buckingham Palace re- viewed the Honourable Artillery Company. The labours of the week finished on Fridaj with an inspection of the boys of lbs Green- wich Naval College. ;L It was a remarkable week, and his Majesty was richly entitled to the quiet and restful week-end which Is spent with Mr. and Mrs. Harcourt at Kane- ham. One hears a good deal in these days of the non-success of dramatic productions, and there are not many London theatres this season whose managers have h?d the good fortune to find plays which tan for mote than. a month or two. At the New Theatre, how- ever. the problem of what, the publie watts seems to have been solved. Mr. Dercrettx's play "Henry of N&varre has filled the bill and the hoaae for more than two nights, and 'seems likely to continue doing both for oL Vod long time to come, if the enthusiasm displayed by the audience at th& two hundredth .,performance is anything to go »fcy. PlavgoerS like "Henry of Navajrr*" because it enables theta to see: Mr; Fred Terry in a dashing role which suits hka splendidly, and Miss Neilson in a part wfcidfo she plays to perfection. The company by vW/hom th$*e two popular favourites are sup- port«d is an excellent one in every way, and there seems to he no reason why the manage- ment should need to lotok .out for a ssw plaj Before people had quite realised thai the naval manoeuvres had begun, they were over and done with. The problem set was very quickly solved, and the manner of its solution is another proof of the big part which the weather must always play in naval warfare. If there had not been a fog it seems likely that the result might have been a different one, but th-at is a question which may well be left to the experts. The Admiralty are very well satisfied with the result of the short manoeuvres., and valuable lessons have been learned by both officers and men. It has been shown, at any rate as far as can be shown by peace manoeuvres, that the Fleet is in a state of highly organised efficiency, and the fact that though three hundred and seventy ships were iengaged accidents happened in only two cases is a striking proof of the high order of seamanship displayed.

NO GARDENING ON SUNDAY. An amusing discussion took place at a meeting of the Tollbridge Urban Council on a recom- mendation of the A llotmcnts Committee that no gardening should be done on Sundays, "other than the cutting of vegetables before 10 a.m." Councillor Clark moved that the paragrnpli be referred back until the committee had tim" to study the 12th Chapter of the Gospel accords g to St. Matthew, in which they wr uld find that it was not wicked to cutvcgetablês on Sunday. The Gospel aid nothing at all about "before 10 [o'clock." In seconding, Councillor Lawson said that the (regulation was the most grandmotherly one lie had heard of. I It wasgtated that people who were walking ont on Sundays had been offended at the sight of men working in the allotments. The paragraph was allowed to stand, with the emission of the words "before 10 o'clock."

TWO YEARS FOR ASSAULT. At the Leeds Assizes, sentence of two years' bard labour was passed upon John Clarke, S8, a pit sinker, of Mai thy, for having attempted to eoiiiinit an assault on Jessie Maria Mountain, a 16cilool teacher, of Doncaster, at Edlington. Miss Mountain was attacked in broad day light, and was rescued by a party of members ot the York Arehseological Society. In her evi- dence she said that, as she was cycling home on June 18, she was attacked by the prisoner, ,ai:d a struggle, lasting a quarter of an hour, followed. Prisoner, in his defence, suggested the prose- cutrix walked with him of her own accord, He was found guilty, and, in imposing the maximum penalty, the Commissioner expressed regret that he could not give a greater punish- ment for a cowardly outrage inton a lonely and delicate woman and an equally cowardly de- fence.

THE SEARCH FOR ISLANDS. The following telegram from Captain Davis has been received at the -f fhc,(,s of the British Antarctic expedition from Montevideo — "Nimrod arrived at Montevideo. We Have Sanded Macquarie Island. Obtained good geo- I logical collection. Sailed over position of other f islands." Lieutenant Shackle ton has telegraphed order- ing the Nimrod to proceed direct to London after coaling. The Nimrod was dispatched to the South Pacific to search for certain islands, the exis- tcitce of which was regarded as doubtful. Cap- tain Davis's telegram shows that the vessel has j sailed over the spots on which they have been charted. The result, though of a negative cha- ract-er, is of geographical importance as clear- linup all doubt as to the existence of certain groups of islands in the sub-Antarctic.

VICAR'S NOVEL APPEAL. A vicar makes an original appeal in his parish magazine for funds on behalf of the restoration of St. Nicholas Church, Rochester.. ■.■ "Surely, he writes, "there must be some few hundreds of people who would be willing, fpr the sake of Christ and His Church, to j give-El apiece, and prove to the world that religious enthusiasm and sacrifice are not dead. That one church at least can be restored without the vicar having to waste bis time in organising maypole dances, naerry-go-rounds, cocoanut shies, crystal- Szing, and a Bp,rnum show, to Wring money un selfish people."

RIOTS IN BELFAST. Riotrng took place at Belfast oa Monday night. An Orange band was attacked by a crowd of Nationalists. When the police in- tervened the mob resorted to stone-throwing, skmL there was a fierce fusillade. The police were, eventually, obliged; to make close upon ad ,cms baton charges. It is reported that a priest who en- deavoured to drive the Nationalists back was struck by a stone. A number of people were injured, and two constables have been de- tained iii hospital. Fifteen arrests were made. Considerable damage was done to pro- perty toy the throwing of stones.

SMALL HOLDINGS ACT. A FARMER'S COMPLAINT. On behalf of Mr. Ernest Horace Ringer, a Norfolk sheep farmer, an important applica- tion was made on Monday to the High Court for a rule calling on the Norfolk County Council to show cause why an order of theirs under the Small Holdings and Allotments Act (1908) should not be quashed. Counsel for the applicant, Mr. Ernest Horace Ringer, a Norfolk siieep farmer, contended that there had been an infringement of the Act through the alleged ineulhciency of regard paid to the convenience of the applicant. Mr. Ringer and his family had for long owned a farm at Wliissoasefct, in Norfolk, but the soil was heavy, and sheep could not b., kOt" on it during the winter. Accord- ingly, Mr. Singer, last year purchased a njghbouring farm with a lighter soil. He enlarged the buildings of the original hold- ing- and put the new one into a proper state 1 the order complained of (to take the wbol(c of the light laud for small holdings) te. The" farn-ing interests of Norfolk considered that; they had been hard hit in the of compulsory purchases, and they nw Lcd to bring the matter before, the Court to see if there "cre no way of insisting on the 3e of the safeguards contained in t C,.)iit he'd that they could not iliter- the Act made the decision of the of -¥

MAYPOLE COLLIERY DISASTER. The coroner's inquiry into the Maypole Colliery disaster, which caused the loss of 75 I lives, has concluded at Wigan after 23 days' hearing. The jury expressed the opinion that I there was lack of supervision in certain places, j and that too much trust was placed in the per- j mitted explosives. With the exception of cer* tain places named, they were of opinion that j proper care had been taken. j They recommended that during shot firing in mines no workman should be below ground except firemen and shot-lighters; suggested sweeping and watering in all dusty mines, to prevent dust explosions; and strongly recom- mended the appointment by the Government ol i more inspectors of mines. They further recom- mended that firemen should not undertake the duties of shot-lighting, that shot-lighters should do shot-firing without being called upon to act as firemen, and that in both cases practical mea should be appointed. On account of the length of the service which had been required of them the coroner exempted the jurors from service for a period of ten years. ■ —

A HEARTLESS HUSBAND. It is extraordinary how women attach them- 8 ry selves to men who treat them brutally," the South-Western Police-court magistrate re- marked in sentencing Caleb John Manchester, a company promoter, of Bucklersbury, London, to three months' hard labour for deserting hi* wife. Mrs. Manchester said she was married in July, 1907, and she and her husband went to one of the leading hotels at Folkestone for their honey- moon. After some weeks her husband dis- appeared without paying the hotel bill, and the management seized her tyrousseau. Her husband subsequently sent her the bare fare to London, and lived with her for brief periods. In July last he deserted her again, *nd she had to enter a workhouse, where her oaby was born. Manchester admitted that he had not yet paid for the wedding cake. He said that he did not know that his mother-in-law had been sued for payment for the wine used at the wedding break- I fast.

E VEIN ING DRESS IN COURT. A lady in evening dress appeared in Maryle- bone (London) County-court on Wednesday, and some time was occupied in explaining tcr his Honour, Sir William Selfe, how a gown of the kind should be made so as to fit properly the shoulders of the wearer. The action was brought by Mrs. Hart, trading as Mme. Ghita, at Bays water, who sued Mis. Fearnley Owen, residing in Gloucester-terrace, Hyde-park, for sixteen and a-half guineas, th-0 price of a pink evening gown, which after being made and delivered the defendant refused to keep on the ground that it did not fit. Mrs. Owen entered the witness-box dressed in the pink gOWR. She said it was made so tight under the arms that she could not keep it fixed properly upon her shoulders. Ultimately his honour gave judgment for Mrs* Owen.

EX-CONVICT CONSTAB It is not often that a man after being con- victed becomes a policeman, but this is what happened in the case of Constable Fuller, of Y Division, sentenced on Wednesday at the Lon* don Sessions to twelve months' imprisonments foi, stealing, a letter. Evidence of to previous oonvictiollilJ were produced, in 1905 and 1906, but Fuller denie. that he had been convicted. The matter was decided by the production of three sets of finger-prints-two of the mjm con- victed in 1905 and 1906 and one of the prisoner taken recently. These were found to tally, arnfc after examining them the jury decided that Fuller was the man convicted on the two pro- I IOUS occasions.

PERILOUS RESCUE OF A DOG. After lying, for three days on a ledge in the steep cliffs between Dover and St. Margaret's Bay, a wirew haired terrier belonging to Mr. Chatwin, a Dover naturalist, was rescued after a periloua adventure by a young man named Smith. Mr. Chatwin, while walking near the cliffs, missed his dog. U. eventually SSW,-it on a ledge about 80ffc. dewn the cliffs. He was unable to rescue the animal, and two days later Smith volunteered to be lowered down to get the dog, which had by this time reached a ledge nearly 300ft. below. After two descent* Smith succeeded in rescuing the dog, which bad been badly injured by its falls.
