Fauime Astor Prefers Beauty to a Titled equaled since the day of Dashing Jack Churchill, afterward first Duke of Pauline Astor is not. a chip of the old block. She has refused the highest title in the English peerage--a duke­ dom--because she is not in love with the duke that wore it. The duke is the Duke of Roxburghe, a young man and riq^ and he is be­ lieved to be really in love with little Miss Astor, even though her father was born an American. William Waldorf Astor was begin­ ning to console himself for the vari­ ous snubs which Wales administered to him by the thought that he would marry his daughter to a lord, and his son to a lord's daughter, and then spend the evening of his days proudly Senator Vest's Verdict. "Sitting one night in Chamberlain's hotel, in Washington," said Amos J. Cummings, who has just resumed his seat in Congress, according to the New York Times, "were John Allen, the ^Mississippi wit. Senator Vest, and sev­ eral other men of more or less na­ tional distinction, when the conversa­ tion turned upon violin music. Vest is noted for his skill with the horse­ hair bow, and the upshot of the dis­ suasion was that he challenged me to a duel on the violin. "I sent a servant around to a pawn­ shop and got an instrument which looked as if it had been used to bail out a boat. Vest had a 'Strad,' or a Guarnarins, or an Amati. and he played a selection by Vleuxtemps. It was highly classical and beautifully done. " I tucked my old fiddle under my chin and scraped away at 'The Arkan- saw Traveler." I had not been playing for a minute before twenty feet were keeping time to the noise, and several negro waiters were doing Jubas. Of course, I won the prize; but Vest said: " 'You're no violinist, Amos. You're nothing but a measly fiddler."" Raining (lie Sea of Azov. The sea of Azov, an arm of the Black sea, is to be Improved for navi­ gation by a novel method. It is joined to the Black sea by the strait of considering their social grandeur. What bliss to have nobles in the fam­ ily, thought Mr.-A8t.or. So it was all arranged between Miss Astor and the Duke of Roxburghe.,But a grave omission was made in the ar­ rangement, for Miss Astor was not consulted. To make everything lovely the duke really fell in love with the girl that everybody said he ought to marry. But she didn't fall in love with him. Contrariwise, she fell in love with a Commoner, with considerably less than nothing, but the handsomest man in the handsomest company of the flnest- iooking regiment in England--Captain H. Fraser of the Royal Guards. Most people who have seen him say that unquestionably he is the handsomest man in tljg world. Certain it is that he has had a career with women un- Marlborough, and with the possible ex­ ception of George IV.. the "First Gent­ leman of Europe," 100 years ago. He is son of General the Hon. Sir David MacDowall Fraser. retired, and nephew of Lord Saltoun. But lack of fortune and even farthings cannot in­ fluence the popularity of the. man who, since Captain Osi Ames' retirement, has been known as the flower of the most perfect company of men in all the British kingdom. How he met Miss Astor first is not known. She was hard to meet, and deadly, for her pretty high heels hav£ stabbed and pierced the scores c* hearts whereon they have trod. Her father was particularly anxious to keep Captain Fraser out of her sight, be­ cause he was too attractive for a man without a title. How the two met is not known. Some say when riding In the park in the mornings. Others say that Miss Astor saw Captain Fraser sitting his horse in front of his company, and she never forjftift'him. Before she met him, or saw him, whichever it was, she was about ready to emulate Consuelo, Duchess of Marl­ borough. Roxburghe was always with her, and it was understood that there was an understanding. But it all has been changed within the last three weeks. London expects the expatriate's daughter to marry the soldier soon with or without her father's blessing, and London applauds. But Astor may have his way yet. No formal announcement of the engage­ ment has been made; she is his daugh­ ter, living under his roof. And when he wants his way, William Waidorf Astor is a hard man. HaJberd Carried in Woburn Militia. Trainings This halberd was carried by Jesse Wyman in the trainings of the W0- burn militia; before 1782. It is n'ow in the possession of Mrs. Leonard war. He was in active service in the French war and in the revolutionary war. By occupation he was a tailor, and Thompson of Woburn. It is about 7 feet 3 inches in length. Jesse Wyman died in 1782, having held the offices of both sergeant and captain in the Woburn militia, both before and during the revolutionary u Kertch, wbich is about two miles wide and possesses a maximum depth of twenty-seven feet. But at the various ports along its shores the depth of water varies only from five feet to fourteen feet. Every effort thus far made by the government to maintain channels for seagoing craft has been unavailing, and it has been necessary to maintain a costly system of lighter­ ing. It Is proposed, therefore, to get rid of the latter by raising the level •+++++++-J-+++++++++++++++++ *+•+++++++•+++++ ++++t++*++| BIRTHPLACE OF THE STARS I AND STRIPES J ++++++++ •H-++++++++++H+++,i-++ The last of ^the great army of American tourists who invaded Eng­ land during the past summer and ear­ ly autumn have now left its shores. All the "sights" of Interest have been visited, including, of course, the an­ cient church at Great Brington, North­ amptonshire, wherein repose some of the ancestors of George Washington. Strange to say, however, no pilgrimag­ es were made to a place only a few miles from Great Brington. which should be of still greater historical im­ portance to American citizens. The national flag of the United States is A Crusoe Coincidence. The Rev. Dr. Everett Hale calls at­ tention to some quaint and curious features in connection with Robinson Crusoe, which have not hitherto been pointed out. He writes; , "Readers who are curious in Eng­ lish history must not fail to observe that Robinson Crusoe was shipwreck­ ed on his island the 30th of September, 1659. It was in that month that thi' English commonwealth ended, and Richard Cromwell left the palace at Whitehall. Robinson lived in this island home for twenty-eight years. These twenty-eight years covered the exact period of the Stuart reign in England. Robinson Crusoe returned to England in June, 1687; the conven­ tion Parliament, which established William III., met in London at the same time. All' this could not be ac­ cidental , coincidence. Defoe must haye meant that the 'true-born Eng­ lishman' could not live in England during the years while the Stuarts reigned. Robinson Crusoe was a ruler* himself on his own island, and was IMvar tha subject of Char 1ms II. or believed to have originated at Sul- grav/s,Manor, the gift of Henry VIIT. to'Cawrence Washington. There Law­ rence Washington lived prior to his residence in Brington. He caused to he erected over the porch of the manor hou^e the family crest of three stars and two stripes, which also appears over his tomb. Though this crest of Lawrence Washington is believed to have been the genesis of the United States flag, American visitors to Eag- land appear to have lost sight of the fact The illustration shows Sulgrave Manor. James II. He was not a 'man with­ out a country,' because .he had a lit­ tle country of his own; but he was a man in a country where there was no king but himself.

Errors of the press often begin with errors of the reporters who have misunderstood spoken words. The rule of follow copy compels the com­ positor to repeat the exact words writ­ ten by the reporter and the following blunders are the result of obedience to this rule. A speaker made this state­ ment: "In these days clergymen are ex­ pected to have the wisdom and learn­ ing of Jeremy Taylor." But the re­ porter wrote, and the compositor re­ peated: "* * • the wisdom and learning of a journeyman tailor." Another speaker quoted these lines: Oh, come, thou goddess fair aud free, In heaven yclept Euphroyne. They were printed as written: Oh, come^ thou goddess fair and free. In heaven she crept and froze her knee. Another orator quoted this line from Tennyson's "Locksley Hall": Better fifty years of Europe than a cycle of Cathay. But the quotation was written and printed: Better fifty years in Europe than a circus in Bombay. On^ of the worst perversions of a hackneyed quotation (incorrectly giv­ en by the speaker) is this, which seems to be the joint work of the zeal­ ous reporter and the equally reckless printer: Amicus Plato, amicus Socrates, sed major Veritas. I -may cuss Plato, I may cuss Socrates. said Major Veritas. --The Practice of Typography, T. -L. De Vinne. , V Caught a Ballet la Hh Teeth. His iron-clad jaw saved the l^e of John Green.

The abstract of the Egyptian budget which we receive from Cairo is an­ other proof of the great material im­ provement which has befallen that land since English administrators brought honesty to the task of gov­ erning it. Each year the surplus grows, and what is even more satisfac­ tory to the poor Egyptian, each year the taxation Is diminished. The present budget, in spite of a reduction of £60,000 In taxes, shows a surplus of £210,000, after the due installment of over £700,000 has been paid into the caisse of the public debt. It is true that expenses have been high owing to an extra expenditure of £80,000 on the railway, but that is an outlay which may safely be counted upon to repay itself both in revenue and in the general increase of agricultural and other prosperity. The savings has chiefly been in army expenses and the suppression of useless officials. The first street railroad was laid in New York in 1832, between toe city hall and Fourteenth street. v faa He Out? A great many of the citizens of Walnut Hills are relating the details of how "Billy" Weiss, who presides be­ hind the counter in John Smith's sa­ loon" at Wooa Diirn'ISkvenuiTan d CI ay ton street, was flimflammed, says the Cin­ cinnati Enquirer. One day recently an old fellow whose face was adorned with typical hobo whiskers appeared in the place bearing a can in his hand. "Gimme live cents' worth of beer," he demanded. The foaming lager gushed into the bucket and filled it to the brim. The old fellow then produced a Canadian Quarter of a dollar and ten­ dered it to Weiss. The latter informed him that the quarter was worth but 20 cents, and gave him 15 cents in change. A half liour later the oid man reappeared and asked for his Cana­ dian quarter. "Let's see, how much beer did you buy?" asked Weiss. "Five cents' worth, and here's the nickel," answered the old fellow, lay­ ing a five-cent piece on the counter. Weiss tossed the nickel in the drawer and handed the customer his quarter. And now the question Weiss and his friends are figuring on is, how much did he lose? Aa Important Discovery. Detroit, Mich., Jan. 13.--A sensation­ al statement is made by Mr. Benjamin Major, whose home is at the corner of Jane and Hurlbut Ave., this city. Mr. Major says that he has found a remedy which will positively cure all Kidney and Pladder troubles. He suf­ fered himself for a long time with these diseases in the most painful form, and during his illness experimented with a great many medicincs without getting any relief. Finally h$ tried Itodd's Kidney Pills, and to his great joy was cured completely. The statement he makes seems to have ample confirmation in reports be­ ing published every day of wonderful cures by this remedy. May De Poaotble. The coronation of King Edward was in progress. A few inhabitants of Eng­ land peered through the windows, but the theater hats of the American mil­ lionairesses obscured their view. How­ ever, they couid hear the comments plainly, and they writhed with rage when they heard Mrs. Richasmudd of New York titter: "Look at that cor­ onation robe! Why, it is too full in the back and the yoke draws terribly, and those plaits went out of style six months ago."

The present extension of the trol­ ley systems is welcomed by the Inde­ pendent because it thinks the trolley will give us relief from the nerve- exhausting, insanity-producing noise of the steam engines. In view, or rather within hearing, of the omni­ present, ear-splitting, clattering, squeaking, bell-ringing, rumbling and jarring of the present-day trolley we think the change is for the worse.

V •' 'f.RVV&Vii* FOUND AMERICANS BUYING LAN& AT SASKATCHEWAN, WESTERN - - " CANADA. Mr. S. K. Lent was a delegate sent from the farmers of Allegan County, Michigan,to Western Canada, to re­ port on the prospects for successful settlement. His report is as follows: I went from Winnipeg to Edmonton, thence east one hundred miles by wagon. I found the country in that vicinity a rich, black loam, varying from 12 inches to 3 feet deep; the crops are simply something enormous; wheat and oats by actual measure­ ment often standj^pg five feet in heigat. I have been a farmer for forty years, and consider myself a fair judge of the yield of grain, and I saw wheat that would yield 50 bushels per acre, and oats that would yield 100 bushels per acre; not one alone, but a good many. As for root crops and garden truck, in no country have I ever seen their equal for all kinds except corn and tomatoes;the nights being lob cool for these to ripen well. As a stock country it has no equal. East of Ed­ monton* on the head waters, of the Vermillion River, I saw hay meadows containing from 10 to 100 acres, the grass standing 4 feet high, and would often cut 3 to 4 tons to the acre. From Edmonton I passed through some v fine locations, namely, Weta- sklwin* Lacombe and other points. From McLeod I went to Regina, thence to Prince Albert, 247 miles north of the main line. For the first fifty miles is fine farming country, but the next hundred miles is more of a stock country. Then at Saskatoon. Rosthern and Duck Lake I found some very fine farming country, so good that I found a party of Americans from Minnesota buying land for them­ selves--one party buying 12 sections, and the other 20 sections of lnnd for themselves, which the^ proposed to Improve at once. I have traveled over twenty-three different States and Territories in our Union, and never in my life time have I ever seen such magnificent crops and especially as fine a Btock country.
