A hotel chef at Lakewood, N. j.,
with whom Mrs. Cleveland lately
chatted, says She speaks a wonder
full French-with a true Partisan ac-
cent. Not one American in a hun

his private correspondence. Shortly

Mrs. Stanley is reported to have
said with ardor, a few days ago, that
the hated that Mr.. McKinleyn-the
Ohio Congressman-and that if Nc
Kinley dared to go owe to dear old
England, the people there would hang
him and burn him in effigy, because
Of his anti English tariff law. The

Susan b. Anthony sat on a plat
form, whence she was soon to deliver
an address, in Buffalo, several years
ago, the Washington Post declares,
and heard some sister orator eulogize
her effusively as one who has long
since passed from this mortal sphere.
Friends who sat beside Miss Anthony
saw her turn fairly notified with sup
pressed emotion, and then she said:
II see that | am announced to address
this audience, but | don't see how you
car expect a woman who is dead and
buried under a magnificent granite
shaft to deliver a speech" 1t was
the eulogist's turn to become notified,
the Post observes.
Lord Dufferin's success as a diplo-
mat at the Cars court was ascribed
in a large degree to the charms of his
wife, who became a favorite of the
Russian aristocracy. In Rome, where
her husband is % stationed as the
representative of England, she is nc
less popular. Besides being a woman
of tact and judgment the countess is q
linguist of much ability, ~eonversing
fiuently in French, German and
Italian.
