THE SACkyILLE INCIDENT,
Lord Randolph Chni chiii Thinks Hs
Deserved His ID smissnl.

Lord Randolph Churchill in speech
at Paddington, expressed the hope that
the post of Minister at Washington
would soon DO filed, He said there
was no doubt that Lord Sackvillo had
been primarily indiscreet, and had
made an ineXcusablc blundor. No fault
could be found with the action Of the
United States government towards the
minister, Churchill doprocates the in
sulting and menacing articles which had
appeared in tho English press since
Lord Sackville's dismissal and said that
Englishmen ought to inform Americans
that they cherish no ill-feelings toward
them.
Lord Randolph attached the great
est Importance TO the maintenance by
England ofan impermrhablo and friend
~ attitude toward the United States.
He regarded the attitude taken by Mr..
Cleveland after tho rejection Of tho
fisheries treaty by the Senate rs an I'M
fortunate one. The utmost allowance
ought to be made for the American
position on the Sackvillo affair In view
Of the time Mt which il occurred. Glove
lands action had been rather sharp,
hut it did not justify the menaces,
sneers and sulks in which the news
papers Of England had INDUCED, War
between England and America, he de-
clared, would DO moro atrocious and
dangerous than any war since God
created the earth. He trusted that
the Governments policy towards the
new Washington administration would

tho American people our best allies
on all questions and to producing II
durable friendship between the English
speaking races, thus guaranteeing to
humanity in turn the blessings Of libcr.

Thirteen Again.

Fol-" thirteen years,D Mr.. H.. H.. Wilson, of
Pittshurg, courted Miss Louisa E. Wilson.
He was rich; she was beautiful; and, al
though their names were similar, they were
not related. It was long period for q
courtship, but where love is time never
drags. The hours fit by like minutes; days
go like hours, and years slip away like
months.
For thirteen years Mr.. Wilson eluded
marriage. He was ready in promises but
unwilling to take part in ceremony that
binds until death. or divorce cuts the
bonds. Courtship was pleasant enough
for him, and although Miss Wilson grew
tired of waiting he did not.
For thirteen years Miss Wilson saved the
various messages, the dear, loving letters,
and the sugar coated expressions Of; en-
dearment that the mail brought to, her.
And, now, after her devoted admirer has
refused her last appeal for a wedding, Miss
Wilson goes into court and asks $50, 600
damage for breach Of promise. On We'd
nesday the trial of the case will begin.
Is thirteen an unlucky number? If any
one wants to know let him write to Mr.. H.
II. Wilson,. Of Baltimore
