HIS SOCIAL SIDE.
rha rolitical side of the marquis charac-
AL enough known. Socially, he Is
onamiable host and entertalns lavlsnly,
a az Of Hatfield and in London. He IS,
o oSCr all a serious man, and his quiet, re-
sorvad and almost sullen demeanor I'M
nrassas one as being more or less affected at
Zines For instance. a short time ago there
Uas a tremendous reception given by the
constitutional club in LONDON. ABOUT
1000 guests were present; Ihey We're OF
avery conceivable rank, from am
Iossador to commercial travellers,
and the crush was so great
That women's Jewels and the orders of men
were torn from them during their struggles
70 Get to the doors and windows for
air II was night of sutfocating
heat At $50 o'clock-exactly on
schedule time-a team Of bay horses
drew big state coach up to the
main entrance Of The club. A beety and
highly impressive coachman sat on the box,
and two slim and wel-shaped lackeys stood
on the rumble behind The police yelled ;
MAKE way for the prime minister"
with intense emotion, the lackeyS
iumped to the ground, took off their
hats threw open the door, and stood with
their barred heads, and the marquis lum-
bered heavily out, and cumbeTsomely as
sisted middle-aged and old-fashioned lady
to alIght. Then the prime minister and lis
wife entered the club amid terrific cheers.
Salisbury wore court dress and the order Of
the garter Helooked neither distinguished
nor important, but his reception was such
one as the Prince of Wales has not received
IL
forcibly about him was the very evident
manner in which he showed that ne
WAS PRODIGIOUsLY BORED
BY the attention he attracted. As a rule,
when an eminent parsonage is being
cheered wildly by thousand or two people
in Europe. a society smile and a series Of
afabla bows are forthcoming. 1t is part of
the etiquette of greatness. But Salisbury
neither smiled nor bowed. He stumped
methodically into the building with Lady
Salisbury on his arm, passed up the aisle,
fought through the crowd Of ambas sailors,
ministers and others to the supper ROOM
made twenty minutes speech, bowed pro-
foundly, took Lady Salisbury on his arm
and strobe out Of the building, taking the
state coach precisely on the minute it had
been ordered, and drove rapidly away.
LIKE GRANT
never saw but one other man receive
the plaudits of the crowd with such an ap-
parent lack Of interest That was Gen.
Grant during big review. The Emperor
William of Germany never shows the
slightest emotion when the crowds ara
cheering him, but he looks over the people
with al air of some curiosity aud interest.
Salisbury, being a nobleman and a man of
vast wealth, has all Of the high-caste pre-
Jldlces aud mannerisms Of the English
swellS. The same manner of utter and some
what wearled unconcsrn which distin-
cuisines the Duke Of Portland or the Duke of
Beaufort when a horse lands winner of the
Derby and doubles or divides the
duSes fortune, prevailed the Marquis of
Salisbury.
From the highest to the lowest it is al
ways I1e same among the nobility of Eng
land. 1t Is not only that they wish To an
pear uninterested in what is GOING On
around them, but they try to 90 o bit
further than this aud show that thew are
pored by any emotion whatever. It is the
characteristic OF the caste. | know no
uiBher development in this particular form
VI self-represSion than that which Salisbury
has attained.
