What would be vain boasting in very
many would be but a modest recogni-
ton of her own wonderful ability on
the part of Sarah Bernhard. Even in
that view of it she does not appear to
have left to the imagination any credit
that may be due her. The "di-
vine Sarah" does not admit the slight
est doubt as to her eligibility to all the
remarkable honors paid to her in Paris
a few days ago. Writing to the Figaro
she says:

"If American manufacturers" says

that are comparatively new to them.
Their representatives must be pre-

Mr.. Taney says that in this connec-

Canadians are not only making vigor.
GUS efforts to divert export trade from
other countries to their own, but are
quite successful, not only in many
branches of manufactured goods, but

GAIL HAMILTON GONE,

WENHAM, Mass, Aug. 17.-Mary Abb.

seriousness since she was stricken Snn.
day morning.
Her illness dated from Sunday morn.
ing, when, seated at the breakfast
table, she suffered a stroke of paral.
ysis, which was at once declared by
her physician, DR.. Thayer, to be prob.
ably fatal. Dr. Thayer, in fact, did
not expect his patient would live the
day out, but she surprised all by lin.
gering until this evening.
Miss Dodge was possessed of re-.
markable vitality, which alone en-.
aoled her to recover from the serious
stroke of paralysis with which she
was attacked while staying with the
Blaines in Washington in May, 1895.
When Miss Dodge had once more re.
gained her health, which never again
became IS robust as before her illness,
she came to her birthplace, Hamilton,
where she remained until her death.

late James G. Blaine is erroneous She was
simp ply cousin of Mrs. Blaine. But for many
years she was an intimate associate of the
blalne household, and often assisted the great
Maine leader In his literary work. and In re.
turn sometimes received aid from him. For

A Dastardly Outrage Upon Prince Louis
OF savoy, Nephew Of King Humbert Of
Itaiy-Asssulted by n Mob Upon the
streets Of Vaipariaso--Iiis Sailors struck
with stones and Knocked Down with
Clubs.

nephew of King Humbert OF Italy,
and party of officers and some of the
crew OF the Italian war ship Christo-
Zero Colombo, all the facts of which
were suppressed by the government,
was received here by the steamer City
OF Para, says the San Francisco Bull
letin.
The Christofero Colombo sailed from
San francisco for South America. via
honolulu, some time in February.
The object of her visit to Chilli was to
assure that country that Italy had
none but the best Of feeling for the
southern republic, as much bitterness
Of feeling has existed in Chilli, since
Italy sold the Argentine republic two
crulsers- The sale was consummated at
very shaky crisis, for Argentine and
emu were on the verge Of war over
the boundary question.
The Christofero Colombo fulfilled
her mission.
The "squaring" was well accepted
by the better classes, but among the
raoole the apology was not accepted.
Hence the trouble.
A party from the Christeforo Co.
lombo landed at the Valparaiso pier
and proceeded up town. The prince
and several lieutenants were in the
lead. A number Of Italian sailors
were Immediately behind the officers.
A crowd of Chilianos followed the
mah-oi-warsinen, occasionally jeering
the sailors AS the party advanced the
crowd grew larger and bolder. Sud-
aehly stones commenced to fly, and
Tor safety's sake the prince was hur-
ried into store out of harms way.
The able seamen did not fare SO we'll.
several were struck with stones and
knocked down with clubs. They
iought back, pulled their knives,
which they luckily had with them and
held the mob at bay until body of
police came charging down the street.
Inc mob soon scattered. A number
OF arrests were made.
Chllian authorities lost no time in
hurrying an apology to Prince Louis.
Every precaution was promised.
The Colombos crew was not used
up very badly, and as there were com.
mercial advantages to be obtained for
thelr countrymen, the Italians agreed
to accept the apologies.
