ALL FOR HER DUKEY
The Duchess Of Marlborough Is to
Have Her Life Insured.
FOR THREE MILLION DOLLARS
II Is Said That the Vanderbiits Are
Not Particularly Well Pleased
With This Late Develop-
ment-Letters From Home.

New York. Jan. 31-The report that
the young Duchess OF Marlborough. nee
Vanderbilt, was ito have her life inSur-
! ed for the benefit OF The duke is con-
firmed in a private letter. The amount
applied for Is $4,000
An application has been made and a
medical report submitted. but 90 far as
known the insurance companies have
not passed on a. The probabilities are
that they Will accept the risk. for they
will receive a big premium and &c.
other benefits. Besides. British COM
panies like to mortgage the lives OF the
arhstooracy. This will be one of the
largest, IL not the largest. OF risks
ever taken. 1t will undoubtedly be un-
derwrstten by a syndicate.
Two or three weeks ago a report was
calbled that the duchess was III at
Rome. and her condition was such that
an eminent physician was summoned
from London. Both statements were
promptly denied. and the report was
evidently based on the viset OF the In
surance medical examiners to the duch-
ess. IL was about that time that Sir
Dyce Duckworth, NJ. D.. honorary ply
sicsan to THE Prince OF Wales. received
communication from the Insurance
| company to proceed to Rome and ex-
anime the duchess.
| When Mrs. Hammersley married the
late Duke of Marlborough here and
went 10 live IN London. she expended
| 81 500. 900 in restoring the palace OF Blen-
helm. and by the way OF indemnity. she
at the suggestion of her American So
| lcbtors. took out a policy on her hus-
| bands life for sl.50o, 900. II was denied
| by fahe Marlborough family that any OF
/ the Hammersley money was used TO
rejuvenate the palance. and It was as
serted that the expense was borne BY
the Marlborough estates. Whoever CIR
culated the story doubtless had in mind
the mortgage on 'the dukes life.
Those close 10 the Vanderbtlts say
that they are not particularly well
pleased by this latest development. and
| Mrs. Alva Vanderbif-Belmont has
written a very matter of fact letter TO
her daughter on THE subject Her faith
er will probably have his say IN person
when he meets the duchesz and her

A SPEECH.
Lord Salisbury Remarks on the vsnesue-
Ian and Armenian Questions


Ian and Armenian Questions
London, Jan. 31.-The banquet OF the
Non-Conformist uniontst association To-
day was the occasion OF an address oy
the Marquis of Salisbury. In the course
of his remarks he said: II have been
held UP as the denouncer Of the Mon
roe doctrine. As a matter of fact. al
though the Monroe doctrine n no part
OF International law, my dispatch TO
Mr.. Olney supported IL as q rule OF pol
icy In the strongest and most distinct
terms. But when I stated In that ois-
patch. and refterate now. that as a rule
of policy, we are the entire advocates
OF the Monroe doctrine. we mean rne
Monroe doctrine as President Monroe
understood 3t. (Cheers) In that sense.
you will not find any more convinced
supporters than we are"
Lord Salisbury then turned Aoruptly
10 the Armenian question. and ne re-
preached the religious communities
wgah laboring under a mistake wnen
they supposed that England had bound
herself In honor to succor the Arme-
mans, which means to go to- var WIN
the sultan IN order to force HIM 70 gov
ern the Armenlans well The Berlin
treaty. Lord Salisbury said. merely
bound the sNgnatory powers thar II Ine
sultan promulgated certain REFORMS
they would watch over the execution OF
those reforms. Nothing more.
Continuing. the Marquis OF SALISBURY
said: "If you ask why we have not
interfered in the Armenian troubles.
can only answer that when you are
dealing with the rising OF a whole fan
atical population against population
with whom they have been at bitter en-
nifty for ages. and who are situated In
mountains far removed from the sea-
shore, you are deceiving yourselves II
you imagine that England's arm. long
as II Is, could have done anything In
mitigation. Nothing but military
usurpation could have done II. and Eu-
rope does not possess the power or MIL
| itary usurpation at that distance.

Yesterday two Helena gentlemen
called at the home Office OF the Stan
dard to speak in regard to the knight
affair. In some OF the newspapers, the
name OF Mrs. Knight, who has brought
suit for divorce. was coupled with the
name OF a well-known man residing in
Helena The Standard omitted the use
OF the name of this gentleman, as II
d.d not appear in connection with the
proceedings at law. 1t was said, how
ever, in all the newspapers that the
husband. against whom a divorce suit
is brought, Is an injured party. The
visitors of yesterday from Helena insist
that this assertion is untrue. than Mr..
Knight himself says so. and that inJus-
dlce Is done by leaving the matter TO
rest there without adding what is de-
clared positively ITO be the truth In Mrs.
knights behalf.

PLEA FOR MODERN Lam
GUAGES.

The following paper was read the
9th ult. by Prof. Chas. F. Reeves,
Of the department of modern Ian
Guages in the Washington State
University, before the educational
conference at Seattle. There are
MANY reasons for studying foreign
dion. The advanced student be-
comes fascinated with the study
and will assign no reason, other
than that he loves it. The beginner,
however, wishes reasons. One
wishes to be assured that foreign
language study is pleasure, an
other that it is a profit, yet another
that it is a benefit withal. "Bene-
fit" is too indefinite to satisfy many.
It is synonymous with that great
word Couture" which is, nowadays,
too often ignored by the chooser of
a curriculum. Truly professional
teachers will strive to restore and
maintain appreciation of foreign
language study among their pupils,
an appreciation not only of its
practical acquisition for so-called
business needs, but also of its edu-
cational acquisition as an indefinite
yet constituent part of culture one
of the objects, it cannot be gainsaid,
of our common schools. Prof.
Reeves paper will be of interest to
my pupils and to the college Faust
Verin. By my request the manu-
script is sent to me for publication.

REQUIREMENTS IN THE LANGUAGES.
We all admit the value and i'm
portance of language study and
training as a part of our educational
system. This is especially true
with reference to our own language,
which must be the means of COM
municating our ideas to each other,
either by means of speech or the
written or printed page.
One of the chief difficulties with
which educators meet is the indif-
ference or want of appreciation on
the part of the pupil in the matter
of the proper use of language. This
is not only true of every young pu-
pill, but also of those who have
reached the High school, or even
their freshman year in college; SO
that one of the most important
problems which confronts us in the
high school and college or univer-
sity is how to interest our pupils in
the understanding and use of Eng
fish formed on the best models at
our command.
From the college and university
standpoint, this means that pupil
should have for his preparatory
training a good knowledge of gram
mar, composition; elementary
rhetoric, and a general familiarity
with English literature as repre-
sented in selections from a few Of
the best authors of this country and
England
In my estimation a pupil should
take up at least one language III
addition to his own, for a number
of reasons, the chief one being that
the study of another language will
be helpful in understanding and
approaching his own. Someone
has said that by learning a new
language we gain a new soul, so
that the greater the number of Ian
guages at our command, the broader
our views of life, men, history and
literature, and the more thoroughly
we can understand our native
tongue, because we know more fully
the sources frem which it came.
Language study has, too, an i'm
portant value from the standpoint
OF training of the mental faculties.
Much of the value of education lies
Just here. Naturally the ancient
and modern languages form a part
OF the high school conrSn A rea-
