colonial who has stood at the bar Of
the British house of lords and protested
against the re-enactment of "a bill for
the better conduct of the treaties be-
tween Great Britain and France respect
ing the Newfoundland fisheries"
This act, Sir William declared, "em-
bodied provisions of an arbitrary and OPP
pressive character, wholly repugnant TO
those principles of liberty and justice
which are held to be the basis of modern
British legislation" The petitioner got
no satisfaction Lord Salisbury and
Lord Knutsford-the latter of whom had
revived the obnoxious bill, which was In
force during the reign of George "

Tory policy demanded the granting of
privileges to French fishermen which
will impoverish the residents Of New
foundland" Sir Williams Anglo-Saxon
spirit broke out in manly revolt, and he
walked from Westminster declaring that
he and his people would seek relief and
protection by abandoning the mother
country and securing admission to the
United States Of America.

this assertion. But today men and at

Quilted affection. A youthful Scotchman,
named A. Ainslee Young, became enam-
ored with Miss May E. Wheeler, pretty
typewriter of exemplary character. He
was not a milksop. but Straightforward,
manly fellow, with tinge Of melancholy
In his disposition. He was honorable and
persistent in his wooing, but the girl did
not regard his suit with favor. She told
him to forget her, and seek some one who
could return his love. Young became
moody and detected after this rebuff and
threatened to shoot bi,nself Miss Wheeler
reasoned him out of this resolve and mis-
taking her anxiety for kindling of the di-
vine spark, Young continued his addresses.
He was always respectful, but hrs constant
entreaties became annoying, and the pretty
typewriter changed her boarding house in
order to escape his opportunities. The pa
tient, persevering lover searched San Fran

of an improvement in his circumstances,
and humbly entreated her to receive his at

OF the many entertainers Of the Washington
public IL would be difficult to select two artists
who are better known and more popular than
Mr.. W. T. Carleton and Miss Jeannie Winston.
Each has frequently appeared here at the head
Of their respective companies. IL is but justice
to Miss Winston to say that she had always
lsbored under the disadvantage of having a less
efficient support than Mr.. Carleton and her
engagements depended largely for success
upon her own qualities as an artist
and her strong magnetic personality.
Therefore TO the lovers Of music
and mirth and admirers Of their chie.est pro-
dueers there cannot fail TO be a great deal Of
pleasure In the announcement that Mr. Garlic
tons opera company will be at Albaugh's next
week and that Miss Winston Is a member OF IT,
and will, according To the repertoire and its ar
rangement, which is given in another column,

OF the week will be Claude Duyalr' with
