One of the dominant 'dnd Jsoweriul members of fhe fouse of Commnions to-day is John Adedmond, the leader of the Irish iationalist party. For four sespions now, since the general election of Jecember, 1010, Joun Edward Red- aond has enjoyed this position of inusual power and pre-eminence in siblie life = or perhaps, he has dis- iked it, for he is a reserved and omewhat shy waw --as holder ol re balance of political power in the /otes of his party, over whom he vields undisputed sway. But, any- ay, he would still be a commanding sersonality in the chamber by rea on of his character and ability. An English political writer recent Y said: "John Redmond must be given a among the first twelve men of of Commons, his com- Jeers, in wy opinion, being Mr. As- juith, Mr. Balfour, Lloyd George, Jonar Law, Sir Edward Grey, Mr. 'hurchill, Sir Edward Carson, Aus- en Chamberlain, Mr. Ramsay Mac ionald, Lord Robert Cecil, and Mr Philip Snowden." 2 In the House of Commons, as in ill bodies of men, looks and appear- ances tell in making lasting and true impressions to speak from the cor- 1er of the top bench below the gang- way on the opposition side, he is seen to be of a portly habit, with an impressive air of dignity, suavity and strength John Redmond, may, perhaps, described as the only orator in the House of Commons, His style ot speech is far removed from the flow- wy aud ornate, which is associated wit he popular idea of Irish rhe- Or. On the other hand, it is not stiff or formal or -cevere, like so nuch of the oratory of the British chool. Mr. Redmond"s speeches wre models of consecutive and lucid tatement and of terse and cogent easoning, embellished with passag- 3 most eloquently expressive of selling and emotion. He is also a erfect eloeutionist, and there is not u the House a voice more melodious rr persuasive than his, Mr. Redmond comes of a county amily of good standing in Wexford iis father sat in the House of Com nons [or the borough of Wexford in he seventies, and his mother was a faughter of Gen.

The matter was decided while hé was a student at Trinity College, Dublin, and 22 years of age He was appointed a clerk to the House of Commons The apoointment was decisive Mr. Redmeond's fate. The clerks of the House of Commons have the privilege of standing near the bar, or sitting in a section of the members' galleries, 'during © a debate, Young Redmond was to be seen in the gal- lery every night, watching with in ter and sympathy the develop ment of the policy of obstruction which Parnell bad initiated, the po liey of speaking on the subject, or at any time, that at all tended fc interrupt and delay the regular movement of husiness T Consequently Mr. Redmond was not new to parlianiéntary life when on Feb, 2nd, 1881, he took his'seat as a Parnellite for New Ross, a Wexford borough extinguished by Mr. Gladstone's redistribution sch- eme of 1885. He wag then i his twenty-fifth year. It was a memor- able day, that Feb. 2nd, 1881, in the annals of parliament At nine o'- clock that Wednesday morning, Mr. Speaker Brand had terminated a sit- ting which had lasted continuously over forty hours, debating 'the mo- tion for leave to th» ' sure of the Glad: lonian government for the better proi: of person and property in Ireland. by refusing to allow any more of { OEIC ing nationalist members to spon and thereupon peremptorily purer the question There was then nc tule, writien or unwritten, to justify this unprecedented proceeding on the part of the speaker; but that it was "in accordance with the evident sense of the house." The house met again at four o'- clack, seething with excitement, aud after John Redmond was introduced as a new recruit of the Parnellities a seeéne of unparralleled confusion and disorder took place. Gladstone rose to give notice of a resolution investing the speaker with the pow- er of closure, the power which Mr. Brand had that morning, exercised arbitrarily on his own respou®ibility. All the nationalist members refused to obey the order of the speaker to sit down, and each was compelled to withdraw by the sergeant-at-arms. Among those who were thus sus- pended was John Redmond, a couple of hours after taking his seat' "As I regard the whole of these proceed iugs ag unmitigated despotism," saia he, in the first words he spoke in thé house, "I beg respectivély to decline to withdraw."

The famous + melodrama, "The Silver King," which was played re- cently at His Majesty Theatre before a royal audiemce' in the cause of charity, has established several re- putations' and made fortunes for a number of people. The name of Wil- son Barrett, of course, will always be associated with "The Silver King." The famous acior made a big for- tune out of the play, which, dhow- ever, he ultimately lost in other. dis- astrous theatrical speculations. But fortune smiled on him again when he wrote and produced in America, "Phe Sign of the Cross," which not only enabled him to pay hfs debts, which amounted to some «$200,000 when he went to the States, but also enabled him to leave $150,000 when he died. Referring again King," the' play definitely decided Mr. Hen- ry Arthur Jones, the collaborator with Henry Herman in the author- , to devote himself to drama. : Silver King" was only Mr. Jones' second attempt at playwrit- ing, and more than once he has ad- mitted that all his family and other expenses, trips abroad, etc, have been paid right up to the present out of the play. Herman, too, made a fortune out of the play, which, however, he lost through somewhat extravagani living, and he subsequ- to "The Ffilver -ently sold his balf of the play, a per- fect gold mine, for $3,500. It is doubtful, however, if any play has made so much money as' the still-running "Charley's Aunt.' During the performance of this fam-| ous farce at the Globe and Royalty Theatres, it earned $1,000,000 for the late Mr. Penley alcue, and he had to share the profits with two others, while it is estimated that Mr. Brandon- Thomas must have made $300,000 out of the play. "The Private Secretary," adapted from the German by Mr. Charles Hawtrey, brought that gentleman $175,000 at least during its first run at the Globe, and its first tours. Hawtrey also made a fortune out of "A Message from Mars," which the author, Mr. Richard Ganthony, sold outright for $40,000 Mr. ful play "Kismet," in which Mr. and Mrs. Oscar Asche have scored such a brilliant success, 'is estimated to have added $200,000 to the banking account of the famous actor and his wife, while Mr. Jerome K. Jerome's highly-suecessful production, 'The Passing of the Third Floor Back," has earned for Sir J. Forbes Robert- son something like $300,000. « "The Walls of Jericho," Mr. Alfred Sutro to the extent $275,000, while "The ter" earned Sir J. M.

Some of the rents which are the due of King George of England from certain of his loyal subjects are "more honored in the breach than in the observance." It would certain- ly surprise King George and Queen Mary if the Lord of the Manor of Ad- dington, in the County of Surrey, should suddenly appear and plank down on the royal breakfast table the howl of porridge which constitutes his yearly rent in acknowledgment of his sovereign's overlordship. A bucketful of snow is the King's rightful due from the Foulis estates. in Scotland. Quite a different and much more desirable rent is the one which has been charged to the tenant ef Cren- don, in Buckinghamshire, from time The rent consists of a garland of roses every June, and needless to say the garland is duly forwarded, and is a thing of beauty, as it ought to be. In September every year two frag- gots are paid at the London law courts by the city remembrancer as rent for lands hell by the city cor- poration fyom his Majesty the King. The authorities of the Isle of Port- land make a queer sort of collection every November on behalf of his Ma- jesty. It is called the "King's Half- penny'; but, as a matter of fact, every cottager on the island pays a tarthing, every cottage with a garden a halfpenny, and every man with an e of land or more threepence. 1is is called "quit rent." When the King lately went across the channel to pay his state -visit to Paris he ought to have been attended across the briny océan by the present representative, Solomon Attfield, to whom King John gave his lands on condition that, whenever he or any of his successors crossed the chanmel, the said Solomon or his heirs should be in attendance to hold up the King's head when he was seasick. His title was the royal headholder. If the King shy 11d pay a visit to Aylesbury -- wh' e the ducks come from--the inhal/ ints are supposed to supply him w a three eels if it is winter, and wit. two fat geese if it is summer. If the King should visit Chichester, by ancient usage he ought immediately to demand a String for his crossbow, and if the King should be engaged in war and riding at the head of his troops, it would be in- cumbent upon the successors to the Corbet etsates in Shropshire, to pro- | vide him with a flitch of bacon every day! : The Moustache In History. The sad case of the French chas- seur who is confined to barracks un- til his moustache has well sprouted again recalls, by contrast, the day when the directors of the Bank of England ordered their clerks not to wear moustaches during their busi- ness hours--an order, by the way, which the public soon laughed out of court. The moustache, however, had a strenuous struggle for existence. In the forties it was cut in the shop, the club, and the Church. In 1850 for instance, Albert Smith 'was given the hint that his beard barred him J from a certainty of admission to the Garrick Club. The Crimea War brought a revolu- tion. "Why shave?" asked House- hold Words, and shortly after 1855 the razor was given the cut direct. At this period the only public man of note to wear a moustache was Mr. jeorge Muntz, M.P. for Birmingham, and his pluck offended his comstitu- ents. In 1859, however, stepped in. Hull took the lead. The Watch Committee there passed a re- solution permitting the local force to "wear a beard and a moustache if they think fit." The moustache had won the day! Dean Ramsay and Bannockburn, Scotsmen have always affected a certain commiseration for Southrons Two English gentlemen visiting the fam- ous field of battle requisitioned a neighboring . blacksmith to act as guide. On taking leave of him, one of them offered him a crown. "Na, na," said the Scot, "it has cost ye eneuch already." It was an old farmer who told Dean Ramsay he did not send to the English cattle shows as the judge could not be expected to show impartiality, adding com- placently: "It has aye been the same since Bannockburn." The sharpest Bannockburn gibe at an Englishman was certainly deserv- ed. For, according to Dean Ramsay, that Englishman had said to the Scotsman that no man of taste-would think of remaining for any-length of time in such a country as Scotland. "Tastes differ," was the retort; "I'se tak ye to a place, no far frae Stirling, whaur thretty thousand o° yer countrymen ha' been for five hunder years, an' they've nae thocht o' leavin' yet." "Iron Duke's Pension. Articles have appeared in the Bel- gian press urging that the Govern- ment should take steps to terminate the annual grant of $40,000 made to the Duke of Wellington as successor to the duke who won the Battle of Waterloo. It is believed, however, that the suggestion is not likely to receive the serious attention of the Belgian Government, such articles having appeared on several previous occasions during the last few years. The pension was granted by King William of the Netherlands, to whose kingdom Belgium was united by the treaty of peace which followed on the victory. Fifteen years later Belgium proclaimed her independence of Hol- land, but subsequent Belgian Govern- ments have continued the annuity to the descendants of the first duke, Great Britain's New War.
