that the meeting between Vice President
Stevenson and Governor Robert Patti
son, Of Pennsylvania, at this place day
before yesterday was purely accidental
and unexpected, and that il will have no
bearing on the Presidential ticket Of 's5.
There is absolutely no basis beyond
the fact Of their stopping at the same

President Stevenson was here for
rest and the benefit Of his
wifes health. Pattison's party stopped

II Is said that the most prodigal giver

can Duchess Of Marlborough. formerly
Mrs Louis Hamersley, OF this city. who
Is spending her first husbands millions
very literally in the country Of her second
spouse. IL is not the custom in England
To sacrifice so lavishly on the altar OF
Santa Claus and the Christ Kind as il is
here and In Germany, and the Duchess's
generous gifts called forth much surprise
ana observation. At Hamland, where she
was living at that time. she was known
as the fairy godmother, as she had a
gigantic Christmas tree for the children
OF the parish. laden with toys. pictures,
and sugar plums. as Well as more sub
stantial gifts OF food and clothing She
had also Christmas tea parties for old
men and women. at which. after a sub
stdntial feast tea and tobacco were pre-
scented i'm large packages to each Of the
benenciaries. The Duchess has recently
taken Deepdene. one Of the most beauti-
tui estates In England, on a lease OF
twenty-one years. thus indicating that
she will never return as a permanent
resident TO her native land. That the
poor OF the neighborhood will have rea-
son TO hail her coming with delight, the
generous spirit that she has shown during
her residence In England puts beyond a
doubt.-H2rper's Bazaar.
