efforts to take the leadership OF the opposl
tion out Of Balfour's hands have resulted |
dlsastrously for himself, and there is a |
strong opinion in the tory ranks that II
general election is deferred Chamberlain will |
have so completely destroyed his reputation
as a tactican that he can be kept out Of the
next unionist government The bulk of the
tories are frantic with anger because he sup
ported Lord Selbourne in his attempt to re-
main member Of the Commons after his ac-
cession to the peerage that action being
blow to the continuance Of the House OF
Lords whereas Chamberlain fancied that he
would be accomplishing a great stroke for
the peers IL he could establish for them the
right OF option Of sitting in either house.
PRESENTED AT COURT AGAIN.
The fact that the duchess of Marlborough
was again presented at court this week was
because cf the invariable rule that second
presentation must be made after the mar
riage Of either maid or widow. When she
was first presented, after her marriage to
| the duke, there was much discussion be-
cause Of the warm friendship between the
queen and the dukes divorced wife, but the
| dowager duchess Of Marlborough came for
| ward as her sponsor. This time the duchess
| was presented by the marchioness Of Lon
| donderry. The presentation would have been
| made by one Of the late dukes sisters, but
they are still in mourning for Lord Randolph
| Churchill Though a duchess retains her
rank and title in society when she marries
| person of lower rank, she is recognized at
| court only by the name of her new husband.
| Thus the court presentation card Of the
duchess of Marlborough sets forth her title
as: Lady William Beresford, formerly
rfI.z
duchess Of Marlborough is shortly going on a
visit to the duchess at Deepdene, and, in
fact, the Churchill family loses no oppor-
tunity Of testifying their continued regard
for the duchess since her remarriage. She
entertans a large party at Deepdene for
Derby week, after which she accompanies
her husband to Ireland to visit his brother
the marquis of Waterford, at the family seat
Curraghmore, in the county Waterford.
PEEL WILL ENTER PARLIAMENT.
One Of the society papers this week say!
that the new Sir Robert Peel will renew hi
suit for the hand Of Miss Kitty Sanford o
| New York. He has been living recently ii
Paris very quietly, and it is expected, nov
that he has inherited the title and entaet
. estates, that he will settle down and ente
Parliament. Under his fathers marriage set
tlement, the new baronet must give each o
his three sisters the lump sum Of els ono, an
provide his mother with an income for lif
, of $4,000 a year. The nominal value of tn
!, family estate is about $4,000 year, but be
. tween these charges, his own debts and tn
: depreciation of agricultural land, he Will hav
only about f7 900 year.
