HON. WALTER Q. GRESHAM.

The death of Hon. Walter Q. Gresham
comes upon us with great surprise. 1t
was known that the Secretary OF State
was ill; but the serious character of his
illness was not dreamed Of. It is too
early yet to consider either the charac-
Ter or sum up the labors Of the man
during the many years that he has been
IN the public eye. His work can only
be estimated and tried by time. The
views that he has entertained concern
ing diplomatic matters since he has
been at the head Of the Department Of
State have been severely criticised and
considered unwise, unjust and un-Amer-
ican. His career, too, in politics has
been erratic-perhsps Misunderstood.
Certainly it was misjudged. But he
vas . public man of more than ordi-
nary ability and has held high place in
the government Of his country. He
made mistakes; for all men if they
make anything make mistakes; but he
was honest in his work, and above all he
had the courage Of his convictions. he
had also brave heart, known potalone
on the battlefield Of internecine strifes
but In the battle of life and in the
struggle with Death. Were all else
tAken away, were his life work q fail
ure. we're his mistakes as glaring as the
sun, yet all in the hour Of death must
bow the head in honor Of q brave and
honest man.

Autumn Silks.

The first importations of autumn
dress goods are very rich silks, among
them peau de sole with twilled surface
of demi-luster, far more refined fab
ric than satin, which is often too
glossy to please quiet tastes Color
abounds in these elegant fabrics The
fancy for chameleon hues has by no
means reached its height. Shooting
several shades together to produce
new effects when blended is the pres
ent object of Lyons manufacturers.
Russian green with red and gold. and
the darkest marine blue with very
brilliant red, are shown in silks for
dresses and in fabrics for trimming
both gowns and hats. Much violet
red and gold are blended in dark peau
dc sole, then woven in very intricate
designs, for winter dresses Plain sur
faces will prevail in the chameleon
peau de sole for calling costumes and
for dinner gowns, but for separate
waists and for combinat ions these are
plaided with broad bands of black
satin or with bars of contrasting col
ors. An especially attractive chame-
leon effect is had by combining green,
brown and gold, another by blending
blue, black and red. Peacock blue is
also brought into favor again. Late
illustrations of Worth's dresses in the
Bazaar are suitable for making up
dresses of peau de sole for the demi-
season. -Harper's Bazaar

CLUBS IN ANCIENT TIMES.


of Centuries Ago.
Clubs are not modern institutions.
In the ancient days of Greece the men
of Athens combined for social inter-
course.
In Rome the earliest clubs were the
trade guilds founded by Numa Pom
pilius IN 720 3. c., similar to the guilds
of the craftsmen which played so i'm
portant part in the history of the
middle ages. At one time there were
eighty of these guilds in Rome alone
and they were not confined entirely to
the metropolis either.
Very closely allied to the masonic
society of our day were the societies
formed throughout the Roman empire
for the practice of religious rites I'M
known to the states, except that our
masonic societies violate no laws.
Even the slaves in Rome formed
clubs of their own, which somewhat
resembled trade unions Although
military clubs were prohibited, yet
they were tolerated among the officers
of regiments in foreign service. The
rules of club in regiment on duty
in Africa have been discovered on the
site of a Roman encampment. They
showed that the annual dues were
about one hundred and twenty-five
dollars.
Even women's clubs are not of recent
date. The Roman matrons had many
such gatherings, some for religious,
some for social purposes. The most.
cele of these was the Senate of
Matrons" Connected with it was a.
debating society in which momentous.
questions of dress and etiquette were
discussed much as they are at the pres
ent time.
In both Greece and Rome political
clubs were common and the aristocrats
and democrats advanced their views
much as they do to-day. Club houses
were few in number because the meet
ings were usually held out of doors.
From the time of Christ to Henry "
IS long step, put investigation fails to
show that there were any clubs during
that period. The first definite infor-
nation we have concerning an English
,lub is given by Thomas Occleve, the
poet, who. with Chaucer, belonged to

In the reign Of Queen Elizabeth

CUSTOM OF TREATING.
The "SociaI" Phase of Whisky Drinking
in Its True Light.

MIR. Perry was a southern gentle
man, exceedingly polite and very
temperate man. One day he met an
acquaintance who called out: Halo,
Perry! l was just going to get drink.
Come in and take something"
THANK you" said Perry. 81 don't
care for anything"
But" persisted the other, come in
and take something, just for sociabn-
ity's sake"
Il want to be socia ble," answered
Perry; Il am anxious to be sociable,
but i can't drink with you"
AL right, growled the friend. eff
you don't want to be sociable, I'll go
without drinking"
The two men walked silently along
for minute or two, the social man in
state of great irritation, until Perry
suddenly halted in front of drug
store.
81 am not feeling well to-day" said
he with pleasant smile, and l think
I'll go in here and get dose of castor
oil. viii you join me?'
What" exclaimed the other. In
dose of castor oil?"
Yes, I'll pay for it."
UGH" cried the sociable maa with
wry face, Il hate the stuff.
But want you to take glass of
oil with me just to be sociable, you
know"
1 won't do it."
Indeed, my friend" said Perry
gravely, your sociable whisky is just
as untasteful to me as my oil is to you.
Don't you think l have as much reason
to be offended with you as you have
with me?"
The sociable man saw the point; and
1t would be money, health and morals

THE BONAPARTE MARRIAGES.



In the circle Immediately surround
ing Bonaparte there was some gaiety,
but much quarreling and jealousy.
Josephine having been barren since her
second marriage, would the succession
go to her children or to her husbands
relatives? This was becoming seri-
Gus question. Cliques were formed on
both sides, and marriages of interest
became the absorbing theme. joseph
more than any other had kept the new
order in touch with the republican idea
by his sllillful diplomacy both in society
and in foreign negotiation. He was
disposed to yield to his arbitrary brother
in any extremity, and his beautiful
wife was tower of strength to the
Bonaparte interest.
The vigorous and able Lucien had
risen to the height of his chances, and,
having acquired a handsome fortune
while occupying the post of French
minister to Madrid, began to assert his
old democratic independence. He
plumply refused to marry the dowager
queen of Etruria, and espoused instead
a handsome wife of his own choosing
from among the people, a step which
eventually cost him the penalty Of
exile. Josephine was successful in
making a match between her daughter
Hortense, and her husbands third
brother Louis; but although at a later
time the Emperor contemplated be-
queathing his power to their son, for
the present, the quarrels of the I'M
happy pair, instead OF appeasing, inten-
sitied the eBeauharnais feud.
1t was sometimes said in loud whispers
that the only solution of the impend-
lug difficulties was the divorce of the
first consul from his wife; but the
question was not yet seriously dis
cussed. The consular pair had never
been married by ecclesiastical form,
and many have since suggested that it
was a discontented husband who had
spoken in the manifest Partially for
easy divorce which Bonaparte dis
played in discussing the civil code.
jerome had been among the officers
bloclladed in the West Indies by the

United States, he became desperately
enamoured of Elizabet Patterson,
Baltimore beauty, and in December,
1903, married her. Napoleon was furi-
Gus, refused to recognize the marriage
or the child born of it, and forbade his
sister-in-law to enter France. After
few years the unworthy object of his
wrath deserted his family, and re-
turned to share the splendors of the
empire.-Prof. Sloane, il Century.
