Notable Personals.

When John Bright, the Lord Rector
OF Glasgow university, received the de-
gree Of Ii. d. the other day, he stood
up in his robes to make the usual speech.
But finding his gown too warm and cum
bersome, he performed the usual feat of
taking it off, stopping his speech to do
so. Robert Laird Collier saw him do it,
and adds the affirmation that the admir-
ing students all fell to singing, "Oh, he's
a jolly good fellow"
Mr.. G. w. Couldock, the well-kaown
actor, is rs years old. Twenty years ago
there was not a better or a more popu-
lar actor on the American stage. His
chief character was Luke Fielding in
the Chimney Corner" which he
played SO effectively that he brought his
entire audience to tears.
The late Moses Taylor provided in his
will that the sum of $3.50, 900 in bonds
should be set aside from his estate to
found a hospital for railroad employees
at Scranton, Pa. The bonds, it is said,
have since increased in value as much
as $4,000, and it is understood that the
trustees Of the fund propose to expend
the whole sum upon the hospital build
lngs, leaving the railroad companies who
will be most interested in the institu.
ton to provide q fund for its support.
General William Browne, who died
yesterday at Athens, Georgia, began
public lie in the British diplomatic SER
| vice, entered journalism in the United
States, was assistant secretary of state of
the southern c~onfederacy, and later
took the field as a member of Jefferson
Davis stall, also commanding the Geor-
gia conscrlpts. Since the wal he has

tory in the Georgia agricultural college.
Queen Victoria's 9th birthday, MAY
"a, will be celebrated on that day through
out Great Britain, excepting in London,
where it will be kept on May 26. This
is an'admirable arrangement, the Lon
don Globe thinks, inasmuch as it will
enable loyal subjects to observe the day
once in the county, and y second time
in London; while Mr.. Labouchere, Mr..
Bradlaugh, Mr. Parneil, and others, by
spending the oath in London AMI the
18th in the country, can easily avoid the
celebration altogether.
Major John R. Throckmorton was bur.
led in the family vault at Louisville the
other day, and in relating the event the
Atlantic Journal says: "He died some
time ago in al onely hut on a Mississippi
plantatlon. His last moments were
haunted by the thought that Ellen
Goodwin was still shadowing him. For
twenty-five years the woman followed
him and was known in Louisville as
Throckmorton's ghost. The reason for
this vas never known. 1t was the pop
ular belief that Throckmorton had
wronged her in her youth. In storm
and sunshine, at home and abroad, the
silent figure in black lowered about him
and blighted life. She died some years
secret to be buried with her.
Mrs. Katherine Chase-for so she
now signs herself, having finally acted
upon the permission of the courts and
the advice of her counsel t. drop the
name Of the man who has tried persis-
tently, and of late most outrageously, to
injure her good nanle-is living quietly
at her fathers old home, Edgewood,
busy with the care and instruction OF
her children.
Mr.. Blaine's friend Bosler, in a recent
talk with a st. Louis reporter, said;
dorsey got badly mixed up in the stat
route complications and needed money
and well, I bought the ranch, al
though he still retains some interest in
1t. Dorsey will come out of these trials
and prosecutions unscathed, but they
have, and will cost him a great deal Of
money. A few prosperous years in the
cattle business, however, will make it
all up to him."
