tables and the magnificent buffet were
covered by some of the most valuable
and highly-prized specimens of the
goldsmith's art. Two thousand invita-

number of people were present
The criticisms of Alphonse Daudet,
the distinguished French author. who
has been visiting England. are raising
quite a storm in social circles. He said
that English women are utter strang-
ers TO elegance and good taste, adding:
The English we encounter in Paris
with flattened down hair and huge feet

we met in London. They have not
handsome features. and there is moth
ing seductive about their physical
form"

son of the ameer of Afghanistan. who
arrived here last week on a visit at the

Cleveland, Ohio, will be liberal candi-
date for the south division of Lam
cashire. 1t is now represented in the

1t is considered not at all unlikely
that Lord Rosebery's second victory
may have a political effect similar to
that of 1894. The non-conformist SEN

heartily congratulate the premier on
his double victory, and il may have a
greatly beneficial effect upon his wan
ing popularity.
