(Special Cable from the International News Servlca.) BY HERBERT TEMPLE. London, Aug. 20. London in August is about as dead a?d dull as a city of its size can possibly be and the papers are in vain looking for scandals and sensations which are scarce when the smart set is away. The press has done its utmost to keep alive Interest In the Crippen murder case, whtch was kept before the eyes of the public in a way far surpassing anything I have ever seen in America, but although Crippen is about to come home the public is not interested in his case any more and the papers are dropping it. Unfortunately it is not to come off until June next, probably on Wednesday, June 21. N

So far as arrangements have been discussed at present, there will be a torchlight tattoo of the troops at Aldershot on the night of Saturday, June 17, when the king and queen will be In the new residence at 'the new royal pavilion. This will be followed by the great review of the troops of the garrison, which is fixed for the following Monday. Their majesties will return to London immediately upon the conclusion of this, and will that' evening give the first of the state dinner parties that are to be held at Buckingham palace. At this will be present such of the distinguished guests as have then arrived for the coronation, as well as representatives of the different services and other officials at home. The gala performance at the Royal opera house Covent Garden, will take place on the eve of the coronation. Following the service in Westminster Abbey, will come the royal processlo through London, when the route followed wijl be substantially the same as that taken by King Edward and Queen Alexandra after their crowning.' The evening of the following day will Bee a state ball at Buckingham palace. ' ' It is not usual at a coronation for foreign crowned heads to attend and thus it will probably be found that the only reigning monarch to be present at the crowning of King George, in addition to the king of Norway, who will

attend by reason of his close relationship with the English royal family, will be the king of Spain. Most of the other monarchs of Europe will be represented by their heirs. Thus, there will be a very notable array of crown princes present, including . those of Germany, Greece, Sweden, Denmark and Italy. Russia will be represented by the Grand Duke Michael, Portugal by the Duke of Oporto, the Nether

lands by the prince consort, and France by its foreign minister. It is not yet known who will represent the king of the Belgians," and there is just a possibility that King Albert will decide to attend in person. A special mission is expected to. arrive from the United States, and the people here are hoping this will give them an opportunity to see Roosevelt once more on English soil.

ty when it gave up studying the Uvea of the saints, said Father Bernard Vaughan, preaching at Liverpool the other day. Broadly speaking. : there are two classes of saints the ready made and the manufactured. ' In the former class they recognized an 9gnes, and a rose, as Aloysius and a Stanilaus, all heroically holy from childhood; in the latter class was found a Paul, an Augustin, a Francis and an Ignatius. In the men of that latter type there was indeed from tender age the raw

materials for the making of a saint.

ials were brought into sanctity and by which those characters were converted into the splendid likeness of God cost rebellious nature not merely many a

England lost the true idea of sancti-

A scheme for a three years empire

empire tour of a great naval and mill

tary tournament is to be submitted to the war office in the course of the next

few days. The idea was suggested by the success that attended the recent production of Captain DuMaurier's play. "An Englishman's Home," which it will be remembered, gave an impetus to recruiting in both branches of the service. v The scheme provides for a great naval and military tournament somewhat on the lines of that which takes place in London. The tournament will present a feature of actual life in the British navy and army for the

past half-century. To bring the performances right up to date airships and aeroplane flights under service conditions will form a feature of each day's show. The spectacle is entitled "The Charge of the Light Brigade." Local interest will be fostered in each of the towns visited by the inclusion of the territorial force in "Modern Arms" besides which the local patrol of boy scouts will be Invited to take part

each day in the great march repast with which each performance is concluded. The advisory board, composed almost entirely of military officers, has secured a large tract of ground in Hertfordshire, less than twenty miles from London, for the preliminary rehearsals, and these will commence early In the new year.- The complement will consist of thirty officers and five hundred and fifty men, the latter drawn almost entirely from the army reserve. ' It is estimated that the weekly cost of this undertaking will be nearly $12,000. According to the scheme, the officers and men, together with the horses, guns , and baggage wagons, will move by road from place to placo in military order, header by their own mounted band of sixty musicians.

Grand festivities are to be held in Portugal at the end of September in

commemoration of the centennary of

' 'THEM'S A CHILD UPSTAZBS WHO'S BEEN BADLY BTJBNSD. HOW MANY WILL' GIVE SKIN FOB GRAFTING?"!

THB hold-over was crowded with men; the "tanks" were full.! and even the hospital ward held two or three; a strange array of humanity from which arose a steady hum of voice and that inexplicable Jail odor which, once It touches the sense of , smell. Is never, forgotten. v There was a confused clamor of slamming steel doors, of feet scraping against metal and of keys grating in locks; a weird medley of singing and crying, as though Joy and sorrow had gotten into the same room and each was trying, to drown out the sound of the other. " yoiJng police surgeon, brisk of manner, and redolent of the operating room, came Into the corridor with a severe looking turnkey, and peered into the "bull pen." "Hey, yon fellows!" he bawled through the bars, and the noise was bushed immediately, save for the raucous voice of a cheerful drunk, who, lying flat on his back on the floor, was endeavoring to solace his musical soul by tinging "Annie Laurie" in a mournful key. The surgeon called: i There a child upstairs who's been badly burned a kid from the East Side. How many of you will give tome akin for grafting?" - There was a momentary alienee. Even the voice of the drunk ceased. "I wllL" said a heavy voice, and a burly fellow detached himself from the blur of humanity Inside gad came up-to the bars. "So will 1 said a tall, thin, sad-eyed chap, of ministerial appearance, who looked almost Immaculate despite his surroundings. - "Here, too, Pete," called a tough-looking hobo, of middle age. "If .my hide ain't too tough," he added apologetically. "Well, gra rung's got me here, and I guess a little more wont hurt me." remarked a dignified individual erlth gray hair, as he Joined the volunteers by the door. A young opium fiend got up. yawning heavily; a pickpocket slunk over abashed, and even the cheerful ' dunk scrambled vaguely to his feet . "Plenty grafters here, doc," he said. "Zash me." "An I lay-ay me downan dee ee ee." ha warbled as he staggered over. No questions were asked by anyone; tbey all seemed to understand the surgeon's desire Immediately, and the sen en the bunks against the wall commenced to roll

"Beckin ah wouldn't do yo all no good, sab?" Inquired a very black negro, flattening his ogre-like face aaainst the bars--xjo no smoked meat." said ' the surgeon. "Send Hmm other felloes in. Hughle," he called to the turnvTaven that tew." ho added, "he looks clean."

"GREAT LONG STRIPS OF SKIN AND FLESH WEBB PEELED FROM ...-' ms BACK UNTIL IT WAS RAW "FROM THE NECK TO THE WAEJl."

On a table in the centre of the surgeon's onice lay a pitiful little bundle of humanity a naked child, whose body showed raw and sickening under the bright light coming in at the windows.

Around the table stood a group of men. including assistant surgeons, a couple of detectives called in as emergency helpers, and several firemen. None of them wa: 'ookln- . the child. She was under the influence of an anaesthetic, the odor of which still hung heavily in the room. "I want considerable hide." said the surgeon briskly, as the motley array straggled in. "Peel to your waists, boys." The prisoners obeyed silently all except the drunk, who, despite warning prods of the men around him. insisted on stray observation. The men stood naked, their skins gleaming white, like an array of army recruits awaiting physical examination. The spectators eyed them curiously. ... ' A big fellow In the uniform of a fireman, armed with a brush, scrubbed the back of each man lustily with soap, water and an antiseptic; the physicians, deftly handling gleaming little knives, quickly peeled long strips of skin from the torsos of the prisoners, and as deftly applied them to the frail body of the child. Hot a man flinched under the pain, and the surgeons were none too gentle. As each gave his dole of skin, a young assistant bandaged them rapidly, and tbey resumed their clothing. One surgeon eyed the tired looking dope flend a second and shook his head. "Lunger?" he asked. "Hop," said the young fellow as briefly. "Oh," and the surgeon slipped a knife under his skin without further comment. There was one fellow, tall, straight and handsome, with the physical proportions of a pugilist, who attracted the attention of the surgeon. He was not over thirty, with a square cut, story book face, and the surgeon looked him over in rather a respectfuL. manner. The man's air waa that of a thoroughbred; he moved with the grace of courtier, and he seemed, somehow, in every way accustomed to the pleasant things of life. Still, he did not appear disturbed by his company or his surroundings. . His flesh was as white and firm as clear marble, and his chest rolled outward like a wave to bis steady respiration. Health showed in every rippling muscle. "I beg your pardon." said the chief surgeon apologetically, as he himself wielded the knife on the young man's broad back. "You're about the best subject here; would you mind if I took a little more from you than the others V "Go as far as you like," replied the prisoner, briefly. The surgeon worked quickly and expertly, and the man -ever moved a muscle in pain or discomfort. Great long strips of skin and flesh were peeled from his back until it was raw from the neck to the waist The spectators watched in great admiration. "Swell nerve!" commented a detective, who appeared particularly interested. When they were bandaging the young fellow up, the detective touched a long, wedgeshaped scar, red as a welt, on the prisoner's left aide. Just below the armpit. "That the only . blemish on you." he remarked casually. "Knife?" The prisoner looked at the officer steadily. "That's the only one," he replied slowly. "Birth mark." ; The cheerful drunk was last, and it was necessary for the fireman to hold him steady on his legs while the physicians took a few strips from his back., "Hope rat kid don't get appetite fr boozsh from xls." he said, smiling Inanely. , ,, The procession lined up again, and led by the gloomy turnkey, marched back to the bull pen, where the other prisoners received .their account of their experience wita interest. A silence settled over the Jail, and the martyrs suffered the . smart of their wounds without "Who was the big fellow?" aaked the surgeon as tbey went out. "He's in tor vagrancy." said the detective. "Plans jragragty." " "He looked pretty good." commented the surgeon. "And he is certainly in grand condition." "He ought to be," replied the officer. "He dont ww-,

"He certainly won't for awhile; I took' enough hide off his back to almost do the entire Job. and he sure bad ' nerve," the surgeon said. . ' Along toward night the detective who had been a spectator at the grafting, and had spoken to the young prisoner, entered the oorridor of the Jail with the turn key. v. "How's that kid?" shouted one of the occupants of the bull pen to the officer. . 'Fine; she ought to get well, thanks to yon guys.": he replied, and then he read from a slip of paper, "Jotv don Taskert" "That's me," said the tall young fellow, stepping up to the bars wlth-a grin. "Alias Pete Gannon, alias George Horan, alias" M ."Sure," interrupted the prisoner. "You've got me. I knew you had me pegged the minute you rapped to that scar. I was a sucker to go up there." "Wanted In Albany for forgery; wanted In Pittsburg for murder; wanted at San Francisco for burglarly; at Portland, Oregon, for larcency whew!" said the detective, as he read from a list- "Wblcn one of those de you want to take?" "What do I care?" asked the prisoner. "Wherever you can get the biggest reward. I can beat that murder' taarge. though It was self-defense. That's where J got tne scar." . As he turned away, the detective called: f "Well, you were certainly a sucker to strip op there,4
