District Delegates.

Haliet Kilbourn, who accompanied George

returned home u couple OF days ago.
A CRITIC reporter met Mr.. Kilbourn to-day
and asked his views as to tho effect OF the Re.
publican nominations.
"There has been no political campaign"
said Mr.. Kilbourn, 'since the Tippacanoe
campaign OF 1910, which Will at ali compare
with The Blaine and Logan enthusiasm OF this
year. The people Will take charge OF this con-
test and no special emissaries will be needed
as In 1880 TO work up q boom, and no soap
Will be necessary in Indiana or other States.
"What will be the result?"
"Blaine and Logan will carry every North
ern State, the TWO Yirginias, North Carolina
and Florida, and the party Will elect several
Members OF Congress throughout the other
Southern States"
SLOW did the District OF Columbia delegates

sColonel Perry Carson faithfully represent

emasculated political community by voting

"How about Conger?"
"well, Copger represented with earnest zeal
his commission as Postmaster, but In his
fidelity to the Government teat he omitted
vigilance, and Colonel Perry knocked him out
OF tho ring In the last round by getting him.

Perry proved himself trump, and we
whooped up the convention very lively for

EHUsBAND,s CONSPIRACY
To Ruin His wife's Character Re.
suits I'm n Divorce.

Justice Cox to-day granted Rebecca N. Bur.
dette, nee Williams, divorce from Charles Bur.
dette, and gave her the custody and control Of
the children. The petition was filed by Mr.
II. b. Moulton. She charged him with repeat
ed acts OF cruelty and non.support OF his
family, and that in November, 1888, he mott.
fed her that he was going to Oregon and she
must get out Of the house, and until she did
he would send man named James Kenney to
remain during his absence.
She protested against this arrangement, but
Kenney came and was there the few days she
remained In the house. After that her hus-
band accused her OF improper relations with
Kenney, and that satisfied her the coming OF
Kenney was conspiracy between him and
her husband to manufacture circumstances
upon which the latter could base q charge OF
crime and immortality against her.
On another occasion Mr.. Burdette induced
her TO take q ride and drove TO house on
Maryland avenue southwest, Kept by Mrs.
White, which he 9ftorward told her was O
house OF prostitution. He obtained room
and desired her to retro with him, which she
refused to do. This and other conduct on his
part was incomprehensible, except upon the
hypothesis that he wished TO bring her TO the
depths occupied by himself.
In addition she charged that in June, 1888,
he committed adultery with woman named
Jennie, at house known as the "Dutch Cor
raj" on street, and during the same month
and at the Same place he did the same with
woman named Florence. The testimony was
abundant TO sustain the charge.

character asks for universal sympathy. 1t is
not in human nature to refuse the request Yet
widowhood is no uncommon misfortune A col
liery explosion often makes fifty widows at
stroke, each of whom is reft Of the friend
of her youth, reft of q counsellor, reft of her
bread. A Golfers widow finds the cupboard
empty, and is obliged to stihe her grief in order
to find her children food In the exaggerated
self-consciousness of royalty a special measure
ment is applied to the ordinary incidents of life,
so that what would appear to ordinary people the
most common things take the form OF gigantic
sacrifices Thus the darling Albert is remem-
bered and idolized for his ready selfdenial,
for his accomplishing submission to the behests
of providence. We grant at once the demand
made upon our homage, but we find ourselves
slightly betrayed on discovering that the trans
cendent sacrifice he had to make was merely
journey from Balmoral to Windsor, or from
Windsor to London, when, like most family
men, he would rather have stayed at home. We
see another illustration of the same general
principle in the tendency to overestimate the
value of personal fidelity. The hero here is
John Brown. He was no doubt an honest man,
who did his duty. His devotion to the Queen
enabled him to dOmineer over everybody else.
A human lap-dog is not sublime object of CON
temptation. We cannot worship John Brown,
though it is comfort to think that he did not
live in the times of Edward the Second, for in
that case he would probably have run great risk
of being hanged. When the battle of Tel-el-
Kebir was pending, all the Queens thoughts
were for her darling child" the Duke of Con
naught We on the other hand says the writer,
had no fear at all. We felt sure that his Royal
Highness would have the maximum of honor
with the minimum of risk, and that no harm
would come to him. After many similar
thrusts this bold critic concludes by observing
that the book is one of the most instructive of
the season. and that if royalty can quite afford
the venture the British public would be ready to
welcOme another S11ch efuSiOn. II

Mrs. Mackex and Her Portrait.

Lucy Hooper. in rhilapelphia Telegraph.
Mrs Mackey, is beautiful, graceful and ele-
CANT lady, still on the sunny side of forty. Her
figure is petite and admirably nodded, her com
plexion at once delicate and brilliant, her eyes
large and liquid. of clear, transparent azure,
her hair dark with chestnut CLEANS in it. Her
hands are exceptionally small her number in
gloves being "a. The picture represented a
large, raw boned, square. shouldered woman,
about sixty years of age, with great prominent
ears, and huge hands that would have been
thought unusually big for a plowman The
fact of the matter, as Meissonier afterward con
fessed, was that, not caring to wait till Mrs.
Mackey could resume her sittings, he had painted
the hands and figure from his model, who is a
woman of exceptionally large stature and coarse
proportiOns.
