The dowager Lady Stanley Of Alder.
II, whose death took place not long
since, was remarkable woman. Her
great age Of eighty-seven was no
hindrance to her extraordinary intel.
lectual and physical activity. She was
born before the jubilee of George III;
was presented at court to George w.;
was familiar with the widow Of the
young Pretender, and was present
both at the coronation and at the jubi-
lee OF her majesty, Queen Victoria.
More than half O century ago Lady
Stanley was one of the original pro-
motors Of the Queens college, and one
OF the members of its first council.
She assisted Miss Emily Davis, to
whom the foundation Of Girton college
was mainly owing. During her whole
life she has been working for the edu-
cation of women, neve: endeavOring to
monop0llxe the credit, and all this
good work was accomplished while
taking due interest in her children,
even to the second and third genera
tlon. Lady Stanley had twelve chill
dren, seven of whom are now living.
Recently she regretted she was not ten
years younger, to explore some of the
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. regions Of Central
Asia, and 1t Is related that ON one of
ler last visits to the premier, Mr..
Gladstone, when he endeavored to
turn the conversation from politics by
abiding to q recent novel, she said:

with she had college training at

was both physician and chemist, she
wished to become a pharmacist. That
was before the why was smoothed for

A THANKSGIVING DUEL.

though he wasn't more than fifty; and
naturally when they both came court
