PERSONAL

JUDGE DENNY of California was American
Consul at Shanghai when Niceroy Ii Hung
Chang secured for him position as adviser to
to the king OF Corea at a salary of $1,000
year. Ii thought that he could make an instru-
ment of Denny in furthering Chinese schemes
against Corea.. But Judge Denny proved loyal
10 the king and prevented the Chinese from de-
posing that monarch. He is now urging the
king to declare independence Of the suzerainty
Of China.
MISS ELIZABETH Gardner, the American artist,
in n private letter from Royat, France, says:
This summer have much enjoyed the society
of Rosa Bonheur and her sister, who have been
my near neighbOrs. Every day they go off to
the surrounding villages TO make studies. This
splendid woman is still full of energy and of
enthusiasm for her art. She has that simplicity
of life and conversation which gives such a
charm to intercourse with the most of the
French masters. Usually unsocable. in sympa-
thetic company she is most affabe.'
SIR WILLIAM WHITE who represents Great
Britain at Constantinople is % man of leonine
aspect. tall. stalwart, with massive forehead a
flowing white beard, and a voice like roar
"Ah, my dear sirrrl" these words, ringing like
an Irish accent may be heard through the
thicKest doors or fifty PAGES of in street.
while Sir William with exuberant gesticulations
is ramming some fact int hard head, or some
indignant remonstrance into quivering soul
Sir William quotes forgotten protocols more
readily than most men could cite the dates of
their childrens birthdays: His mind is an ex
traordinary storehouse of welclassed facts
and he is continually adding to its contents He
is never for a moment idle When at Belgrade
and Bucharest he used to turn out at early
morning, attend mass at the nearest Roman
Catholic church, and then mix with market-fok
or other small people, to whom he would speak
in their own language. BY the time he returned
\ home to breakfast he had always collected some
odd bits Of information which were as precious
TO him as bric-abrac to collector. His in
dividuaity is so strong that he might be called
influence incarnate.
THE Photographic Gladstone is soon TO be an
accomplished fact. The arrangements TO take
down his great Birmingham speech for the pur
pose of its redeyery from one of Mr.. Edison's
instruments at clubs and in public halls
throughout the country are not yet quite com
pleted but are likely to be successful. IL is pro-
posed to put the photograph beneath the plat
form from which the orator OF the hour will
speak, and to bring him nearer to 1t by tube,
at the end of which will be one of Mr.. Ldison's
speaking trumpets, and the speaking trumpet
will be- placed In desk Immediately in front Of
the speaker lie will, III the comparison be not
too undignified, address himself to his audience
over q sort of washhand basin. 10 was intended
at one time that when cheers interrupted the
orator the phonograph should be stopped; but
this would probably lead to a failure of the ex
pertinent, from the occasional loss OF words
which would ensue from nexperience or too
h asty manipulation. The speech is now 70 be
photographed cheers and all. The records"
icing taken will be tried the same evening
probably, and will then be available for the
perambulating political tour which the editor OF
, he Political World intends 10 take during the
winter. AS these records" are not indestructi-
supply the speech. But, should the experiment
succeed, all parts of the kingdom are likely to
be called upon 10 hear what Mr.. Gladstone's
voice il like without Dir. Gladstone.
