GLADSTONE.
Gladstone has decided on the advice of his
physician to limit his presence in the HOUSE
of Commons during the coming session. He
will attend the sittings only on the days, or
rather nights when questions of importance
come up. Gladstone is now an old man. The
British Parliament sits only at nights, and
it is a severe task for him to continue these
labors. When we reflect that he has been
in public life ever since he was q years old,
we can see what large space he fills in
modern English History. Old people will

nenee and recognition an assOCI4v,on
known as the National Alliance OF the
Daughters Of Veterans of the United
States. AS its name suggests, this body
is kindred to the G.. A. r. This order
has therefore, been bat little known to
the general public, and but for the for
tunate decision of its officers to hold
their third annual convention in con-
junction with the G. A. r. encampment
1t would perhaps have remained in the
darkness OF semi-obscurity.
The National alliance is the out
growth Of a society organized seven
years since in this city, and the forma-
tion Of that society was suggested by
the daughter of a veteran soldier, part
~ through a good natured desire to
rival the efforts of the local Sons of Vet
erans' camp. This suggestion, made on
Memorial Day, 1855, was acted upon,
and six days later the first meeting was
held.
A permanent local organization was
effected on June 10, and on December
- of the same year the Secretary OF
State of Ohio granted the society a

present Governor was chosen as title,
and it IS related Of the apostle of pro-
lection that one OF the few occasions on
which he has exhibited signs of deep
emmotion in public was when Informed
by delegation of Daughters that their
tent had been named Mrs. Major Nc
Kinley tent, Daughters Of Veterans.
Miss Minnie T. King, sister Of the
present National executive, and who
died on May 16, 1891, was the first pres
ident Of the original tent, and the other
members were Nellie King, Bertha Mar
tin, Harriet Knapp, Olive Howald, LevO
and Maud Stevens, Mamie Huber, Maude
Merrill, Frank, Eva and Bertha Mer-
win; May Bowman and May Mcmillan.
The little tent Gourished under care
full guidance, and its influence soon be-
came manifest in the outside world. In
1887 the Daughters issued charter to'
branch In Alliance, 0. The new
corners adopted the name OF Mrs. John

wisely bestowed, for their namesake

pot, O., and Quincy, Ills.-the latter
named Caroline Scott Harrison tent
were chartered, and Ada, o., followed
in 1889. When in the latter year an APP
plication came from Keokuk, To-, the
necessity of creating a national associa-
ton became obvious. and the original
charter of Tent No. 1 was so amended
as to adapt it for such requirements.
A national constitution was adopted,
aud Miss NJ. Estella Mcmillan, Of Mas
sillon, o., was chosen President at the
first national couven lion held at Quincy,
Ills, in June, 1890. Only Ohio, Illinois
and Iowa, comprising 194 members,
were Represented at the meeting. The
trainers of this constitution were the

bility is unquestioned. Her father, now
deceased. was Valentine Z. King an

The captain who was placed In COM
mand of the national bark when 1t was
first launched was Miss NJ. Estelle Nc
MILAN. She is also engaged in educa-
tional work in Massilon, and she was
largely instrumental in the formation
of the national department. Her re-
ward was the first presidency OF the
order. aud last year she acted as
treasurer. She possess a wonderful
capacity for work, and has much execu-
tive ability.
Another national officer, the secretary,
Miss Bertha Martin, resides in the same
city. She is charter member OF Tent
No. 1. ard besides her national position

She is an earnest and prominent worker
in the order, and has always been iden-

however, happened to have hair OF the

hair in exchange for lock of his own.
to which the charming creature readily
assented, and without touching q single

to effect an exchange Of parcels by
which each gentleman received acurl

Aneodote of Sir Edwin Arnold.

SDfcidl Correspondence 1so AsgsSseT'
SAN Francisco, November 15.-The
celebrated author, Sir Edwin Arnold, is
n very charming man, endowed not only
with polished manners, but with a very
large idea OF his own powers and capa-
bilities, and in this connection jour
palist lust returned from Japan tells the
following story:
IL must be prefaced that the Japan
csc tongue presents extraordinary diff
culties to westerners, as one set or
words and phrases is used upon cere-
monious occasions, and quite another
among friends. There are distinct
forms for superiors, equals ard infer
iors. So much is this the case that
men who have lived twenty years In the
country feel a certain nervousness
when addressing strangers or speaking
in public.
knowing this, imagine the journa-
lists surprise TO hear Sir Edwin, just
one wear In chrysanthemum land, had
been delivering lectures in the vernacu-
lar at the Kyoto university. Travelling
from Yokohama to Toxic the news
gatherer had for companions an Eng
and a native student of the aforesaid
university. Naturally the journalist
INQUIRED how the students enjoyed Sir
Edwin Arnold's lecture.
The japanese are pre-eminently
nolite nation, and the student looked
unhappy, wriggled, drew in his breath,
then said:
"Sir Arnold is very fine mana
very great man; he admires Japan. p"
This with pride. Then 8 look Of yesrn-
ing and anxiety came over his face.
"His lectures are very fne-beautiful-
but. oh, we would like so much to know
what he lectures about"
To cap the climax, the scribe was In
troduced next DAY to Sir Edwin him
salf and almost his first words were an
apoloqy for not calling as che was 60
ing to lecture at Kyoto University"
The journalist had considerable diff
cnItv in maintaining decorous gravity,
