the celebrity and eminence achieved by

She is not widely popular in London So

women of her intellectual caliber are
gartied with i'll will when they have the
misfortune of being foreigners. Nor is
she persona grata at court. At neither
Windsor nor Marlborough House is she
liked, and if she wears attached to her left
shoulder the insignia of the order of tbs
Crown of India the latter does not imply
token of royal favor, since it was conferred

The queen has never forgotten the slight
placed upon herself by Lord Randolph
Churchill when, during a visit to her maj
esty, he coolly notified the newspapers by
letters written upon note paper bearing tho
royal cipher that he had resigned his Office
of chancellor of the exchequer without
having previously informed his sovereign
or the prime minister of his determination.
Lady Randolph is not woman to hide
her light under a buShel or to be content
with mediocrity. As long as her husband
was we'll off she prided herself on having
the most perfectly appointed house in Lon
don. Everything in the Randolph Church
ill establishment in Connau9ht place was
of the superlative order.
All things were arranged on a princely
scale, and the house was one of the first in
London to be fitted with electric light.
Lady Randolph's salon was as celebrat-
ed her table, and it was terrible blow
to her when, owing to Lord Randolph's
financial reverses, she was compelled to
give up housekeeping and to reside with
her mother-in-law, the old Duchess of
Marlborough. There is no one that better
understands how to spend money to the
best advantage than Lady Randolph, and,
moreover, she may yet require great deal
of it for the sake of her son, Winston.
By marrying Mr.. Astor Lady Randolph
will become plain Mrs. Astor, for her first
husband was not a peer of the realm, nor
had he even a title of nobility in the eyes
of the law, his predicate of "lord'' being
purely matter of social courtesy such as
is always accorded to the younger sons of
dukes and marquises. With the American

Mr.. Astor is not yet popular in Eng
land, nor has he obtained any serious foot
hold in London society. The Countess of
Cork, Lady Coventry and a few similar
hostesses have opened their doors to him,
Lady Cork even acting as his social spon-
sor- But the really great houses, such as
those of the Duohesses of Buccleugh, Port
land and Westminster, of the Countess
Cowper, etc., are closed to him, not be-
cause there is any objection to his person
al character, but merely because the great
English mobiles strongly resent the advent
upon the scene of American multimillion-
aires who are possessed of incomes as big
as or bigger than their own with no CORE
spending obligations.
An English nobleman who derives an
income of 81, 900, 900 from his estates prob
ably has but twentieth part of that sum

call his own, or which he is at liberty to

by the Duke of Devonshire and many
other wealthy peers, as we'll by terrific
rial magnates in the house of commons
during the debates last year on the subject
of the death and succession duties.
Then, too Mr.. Aston has antagonized a
number of prominent people by impolitic
quarrels and oddities of manner, the eff
fects of which, in event the marriage now
being discussed becomes a reality, Lady
Randolph will probably now attempt to
obliterate, just in the same way that she
smoothed away many of the angry pas
sions aroused by the brusqueries and even
downright rudeness of her first husband.

against j. T. Bacon. It was at this time
that Mr.. Evans began to study figure skat-
ing and its artistic possibilities in the way
of working out original designs. He first
drew his figures OH paper and afterward
produced them on the ice. With remark
able perseverance, he was finally satisfied
that he would some day master the art.
In those days it was considered quite a
feat to write ones name Oh the ice by US
ing both skates. Sometimes it was. accom-
plished by striking the toe of one skate in
to the ice and cutting out the letters with
child's play for Mr.. Evans, and he proceed
ed to write his name in an entirely new
manner, by using only one skate.
His progress at the start was rather slow,
but sure, and in 1890 he captured third
pionship. Since then he has gradually
worked his way to the top rung of the
championship ladder.
In 1894 Mr.. Evans was champion for
the first time securing first honors in the
Canadian tournament held at Ottawa, but
he lost this title the following year. Mr..
Evans had by this time acquired quite
reputation as a fancy skater. but when he
entered the New York tourney for the
championship of America it was not
thought that he could successfully cope
with Champion Phillips. The Boston
skater, nothing daunted, entered the lists
and at once went to the front, although
Phillips was quite dangerous until it came
to the intricate figures. At this kind of
work Evans had it all to himself, and in
the end he won by seven points.

Among recent Developments to which

Is a machine for enabling the cyclist to
train or take his exercise indoors in bad
weather. The rider sits on the saddle and
works the pedals in the usual way, and
while the wheels revolve, their force is ex
pended on the turning of an endless belt,
and the bicycle never moves from the
spot 1t has occurred to a French cleo
trician that some useful work can be done
at the same time. He has accordingly de-
signed an apparatus, in which the driving
wheel of q safety bicycle of the usual typo
is raised from the floor, and, by means of
strap and speed gearing, made to drive
small dynamo, which is used to charge
accum ulators.
This idea of turning exercise into a use.
fuI product outside of its own special pur-
pose is capable of wide application. One
instance of it will readily be remembers
Nansen, In fitting out the Fran for his
rash arctic expedition, had capstan placed
on deck, the shaft of which was connected
by gearing with the ships dynamo.
The object of this was that in the long
dark winter of the polar regions the crew
should daily take the exercise needed for
health, by doing their shift at the capstan,
and at the same time generate the cleo
tricity needed for lighting the ship. In
some English prisons, where the energy
derived from the working of the treadmiIl
by the convicts has hitherto been INSULT

it to the generation of electricity for light

dustries more remunerative and giving the
prisoners training which will enable
them to live honestly when they are dis

Herbert S. Evans of Boston now stands
at the head of the list of fancy skaters in
this country, having won the amateur fig
ure skating cham pionship of America at
the recent tournament in New York by
defeating the, former champion, G. D.
Phillips, and a~host of other aspirants for
the honor.
Mr. Evans is a prominent young Bos-
tonian and Is engaged in the real estate
business at the Hub. He is of rather slight
build and is a little less than medium
height. He has always been fond of skat-
ing as sport, but it was not until about
six years ago that he realized the artistic
possibilities of the sport. Having decided
to master the art of skating, he set about
to accomplish the task in his own way,
totally disregarding the methods employed
by other crack skaters. Mr.. Evans has
brought out whole lot of new things,
and his originality forms one of the chief
characteristics of his work.
Mr.. Evans made his first appearance as
a figure skater in 1889, when he made a

Why Congressman Grain Never Delivered
Another Speech In the House.

Why Congressman Grain Never Delivered
Another Speech In the House.
The death of Congressman William H.
Grain of Texas removes from political life
one of the brightest minds in the south.
Mr.. Grain used to be one of the leaders
of the house. He never spoke without the
greatest attention, for he always spoke
well. For five years past, however, Mr..
Grain had practically taken no part in the
proceedings Of the house. His usefulness
was destroyed by joke, a joke from
which he never recovered.
Mr.. Grain was first elected to the Forty
ninth congress. He was handsome in ap-
pearance, we'll posted ON all subjects, an
orator and man of great personal mag
netism. These qualities Immediately
brought him to the front. His first speech
in congress made him a name. The news
paper correspondents took great fancy to
him and often wrote fattering articles
about him.
1t was during the Fifty first congress
that he was sitting in the Press club one
afternoon discussing politics with party
of newspaper men. To one Of them he re-
marked upon the fact that when some
men spoke all the correspondents left the
gallery and retired to the lobby, while
when others addressed the house they
crowded into the house to hear. He added
that he noted they always came in to hear
nIIIly anu H6. D0CbSu oil "a t1l01A W 10
present on the-next day, when he expected
to make the speech of his life on the Nc
Kinley tariff bill.
The next morning The press gallery was
crowded to hear the debate. There were
several speakers to precede Mr.. Grain.
During their speeches the gallery remained
full, but the moment Mr.. Grain took the
floor every correspondent in the gallery
arose and filed out into the lobby. 1t was
arranged on the part of the correspondents
as little joke on the Texan.
The concerted action of the correspond
ents naturally had its effect upon Mr..
Grain. 1t annoyed him SO that he cut his
speech short and quickly resumed his seat.
The moment he did all the correspondents
filed back into the gallery and listened to
the other speeches.
Though given to joking himself, Mr..
Grain could never realize the joke of it.
From that day to the day of his death he
never delivered another set speech in the
house and rarely ever said anything on
the floor. 1t was a shock from which he

would be no serious embarrassmentto
Mr.. Curtis as he seems to be one of the

constituents. It would be very foolish,
however, to endanger the return of so
faithful a servant of the people by
hampering him in the race with a plat

remembered that this district failed to
