make his presence undesirable. There have
been such cases.


GLADSTONE has lost the elections,
but it is not certain that the tories will
have majority. The unonists will
probably hold the balance of power.
Up to Saturday night the returns
showed the election of $50 tories, 60
unionists, 149 liberals and ~ Parnell-
ties, and the total vote polled was, tory
and unionist, 1 200, S74; Gladstone and
Parnellite, 1,11S,973. The tories have
won sixty-six seats, seven from union
lists and ffty-nine from liberals. The
liberals have won twenty-five seats,
the Parnellites one and the unionists
four. The net unionist gain is thirty
seven. OF the ninety-ive seats re-
naming to be contested, fifty-one were
formerly held by Gadstonians, nine
teen by conservatives, twelve by union
lists and thirteen by Parnellites.
Among the prominent members re-
elected are Mr.. Gladstone, Lord Har-
tington, John Moreley and Hugh
Childers. Among the defeated candi-
dates are Mr.. Goschen and Justin
Mccarthy. 1t is generally expected
that Gladstone will resign, and that a
coalition ministry will be formed by
Lord Salisbury. If Lord Harrington
assents to the formation of coalition
ministry the cabinet will include Mr.
Goschen, Sir Henry James and the
Duke of Argyll, but not Mr.. Chamber
lain. Mr.. Labouchere says: 1T will
be long time before the Irish ques-
ton is settled. 1t cannot possibly be
settled by the next parliament. The
counties know nothing of the question.
When they have been educated Glad
stone will win hands down."

One of the most remarkable of the
multitudinous claims against King
Ludwig of Bavaria is that made by Mr..
Louis Schneegans, a literary man who
undertook certain researches in the
archives of the European Capitals at
the Kings request. MIR. Schnecgans
has just filed claim for G25, 900, the
amount at which he estimates the
value of his labors and the expenses
which he incurred in taeir prosecution.
King Louis admits his indebtedness to
the extent of 1880. and has offered
Mr.. Schnecgans this amount in satis-
faction of his claim. The researches.
which even at the smaller figure will
have proved SO costly business, re-
lated, it appears, to the private life of
Lou XIV, every detail of which the
k,ng was anxious TO CLEAN, as be had
taken the French King for his model;
and he has conscientiously striven to
make the imitation as faithful and
complete as possible. Nor have his
efforts been altogether unattended with
success. In tho matter of extrava-
gance, 1T all events, he has nothing to
envy the Grand Monarque.

which began without concerted action at
the close Of tho war twenty ycars ago: hes
now become as marked a feature, in the
Northwest, as any of the notable days of
the calendar. The :0th Of Nay has been
set apart fer observance, as a National
holiday and under the auspices of the
Grand Army OF the Republic. Scarcely a
city or town in the legal States and Terri
tories, fails to lay floral offerings upon the
graves Of those who fell in defense of their
country. This year the 3O5h of Lay

made tic largest display of the kind ever
seen in that city. Gems. Sherman and
Terry and Gov. OslesbJ were among the
prominent persons present. Gen. Sherman

The marriage of Grover Cleveland with
Miss Frances Folsom, at the White House,
on the End of June, is the ninth marriage
ceremony performed in the Executive man
sion, and the first of a person holding the
Presidential Office. The first marriage il
the White House, was that Of Miss Todd
a relative of President Madison's wife,
with John J. Jackson, Virginia member
of Congress, which occurred in the year
1911. The next was in 1922, whea President
No1roe's daughter Martha, was married
to Mr.. Gouvenor, of New York. In 1926
the son of President John Adams married
his cousin, Miss Johnson, there. During
Andrew Jackson's administration two mar

speck of dust from his coat, took a new
grip on his summer cane, braced back
his shoulders and smiled a swecter
smile. He kept right on until he
reached the land of Palms. He looked

THE OLD WOKL.S

The political situation in England has
undergone sudden change, and one dis.
tinct]y adverse to the government. Mr..
Gladstone's vehement ':ncvcr, never.n in
replying, to Lord Randolph Churchill's
charge that be intended to reconstruct the
nome rule bill, coupled with his affirma
zion that members voting for the second
reading Of the bill would stand pledged to
support its essential features, has checked
the disposition among the Radicals to re-.
new allegiance to the government, and
has done much to consolidate the Whig-
Radical opposition.
The Salvation Army have been holding
a congress in London. Two thousand off,

the past year. In Great Britain alone

Dr. Holmes was born in 1909. in the
ola am'orei-roofed' house in Cam
bridge, Mass. opposite the Harvard
University buildings His f:.ther. the
Rev. Abicl Holmes, d. d., was an en-

the FRS! Congregational Church of
Cambridge. DR.. Holmes graduated at
Harvard in 1929, and adopting the
medical profession, completed his
studies in 1886. Up to lS47 he filled
the chair of Anatomy and Physiology
at Dartmouth. He then assumed a
similar professorship at Harvard He

His earliest work in verse was in the
form of contribution to the Collcgian,

at Harvard. He has written MANY
verses with college anniversary occa-

created by the iaterdependcrce of

Currents and Under-currents in

point. The Atlantic Monthly had DR..
Holmes among its founders, and Tho

appeared first in the pages of that
periodical. Several medical journals
and the North American Review and
