his Life of Columbus, " published in lS46 after

and brother-in-law of the Duchess of Marlbor-
ough, who lives at Ala Madison avenue, was the
recipient last week of the congratulations Of
many friends. A second child, another little

SUCCESSFUL brewer is regarded with affection by
the sovereign, and may dine with her after he

manufacturer Is allowed a similar privilege
nor is ever ennobled. Beer is regarded as
fondiy as poetry by the aristocracy of the
country. 1t applauds when the laureate is
