She IL Liberal Giver snd Popular with
tho Britishers.

Tho public appearances OF the Duchess OF
Marlborough are becoming quite numcr-
Gus, and sae is in great aud growing de-
mand for tho opening Of oil manner OF
fashionable charitable functions. Her pop
ularity increases with every appearance,
and the young American is most notice
ably winning the hearts OF the English
people by her refreshing, girlish frankness
and kindly ways.
She opened the bazaar at Oxford 1t Is
held In behalf Of the Oxford Diocesan
Church Army Labor home She has also
opened garden fete and bazaar in the
outskirts Of London, and In few days she
will preside at a similar affair near her
Bienheim home. Perhaps the ungracious
may suggest what Is undoubtedly true,
that the liberal contributions which always
accompany her presence on such occasions
serve to increase the eagerness with which
shc Is sought.
The bazaar fete opened In connection
with the Ladies' Samaritan Society Ma
tional Hospital For the Paralyzed and Epi-
ieptic was held at Frognall park, Hamp-
stead, on the crest of historic Hampstead
Heath, which overlooks London. Booths

duke In an American road cart, the crowd
formed a ring around them on the lawn.
Hugh Mathieson introduced the duchess
to the company and thanked her heartily
for the interest she had takon In the socie-
ty. The duchess listened with some BASH
fulness, blushed and mnde a little formal
speech declaring the show open.
Then everybody msde rush to shake
bands with her, and the handshaking con-
tinued for quarter of an hour. The .duch.
ess, having thus become tho intimate friend
of every one present, spent the afternoon
walking about among the booths chatting
with every one and observing everything.

CHAT.

II you want to find the difference be-
tween a monarchy and republic. just
compare Russia with the United States in
the matter OF the formal inducing into
Office of Gar and President.
II will be a very interesting compari-
elected President takes an oath of office,
and thereby becomes de facto and de jure
head of this great nation for four years.
The President obligates himself to
maintain the constitution, defend the
rights OF the people and enforce the laws.
When Russian monarch is crowned it
is the people who take oath. They bind
themselves either directly or through
their representatives TO obey the new
monarch in all things and swear fealty
to him as long as life is given him.
Thus you see the difference-1n this re-
public OF ours, the real rulers are the
people, to whom the chosen head OF the
nation swears fealty, while in Russia the
people are but creatures who must swear
obedience to the will OF a single heredi-
tary autocrat.
And with all his power the Car cannot
have a scintilla of the peace OF mind and
security enjoyed by a President OF these
United States.
A President is simply a servant OF the
people.
In Russia the people are the servants
and the Car the master. The result is
that the master frequently becomes an
object OF hatred and vengeance.
And then what follows?
Bombs.
Dynamite.
The assassians knife.
Would you like TO take the Cars job
of his hands, with such tragic and
threatening possibilities ahead?

sion that some of our Rhode Island cities
could bear off the calm for sinallness,

A short time ago a doctor died Mt the
advanced age of l06 years and since then
there has been q discussion as to the
length of life OF medical practitioners.
As a result OF this discussion some very
interesting agures have been presented.
They show that during the 10th century
the doctors averaged in age SO years and
five months. The following century the
average length of life expanded to DO
years and 8 months while at the present
time II has been still further extended
to DO years and months.
II this increase in longevity is con-
tnued, q few hundred years hence the
doctor who doesn't live to be a hundred
or two years old Will be an exceedingly
rare specimen of the profession.

LIFE.

Life, what is life 20 maiden fair
IT'S merry go round without care,
With golden hair and hazel eyes
Like the melting blue In June's fair skya
Golden river of life, now on
Like the shining sands in an hour glass shone;
As bubbling ktreams from the hills around
That all too soon have the ocean found.
Her fathers 10y and her mothers pride,
How happy the years OF her life do glide.
AS she climbs College Hill with her satchel well
filled
With the books she studies at Drown.
The climax is reached this very week,
For she has conquered Latin and Greeks
And all the world is a merry GO round,
To the sweet gil graduates OF Brown.

CONVENTIONS AND NOMINEES.

Since the Republican party was born
but three OF it's candidates for the Presi-
dency have failed to be triumphantiy
i elected to the Office OF chief magistrate
for which they were nominated. The
convention now in session at 81. Louis is
the eleventh in the history OF the party,
and there is not the shadow OF doubt that
its nominee will be the enthusiastic
choice of the people when they come to
render their ultimate and final verdict
at the polls.
Philadelphia had the honor of being
the meeting place OF the first national
convention OF the Republican party ever
held. That was in 1856, and the nomi-
nee for President was JOHN e. FIRE.
MONT, who was defeated chiefly because
the people were not then alive to the pur-
poses and policies OF the party, nor did
they have true appreciation OF the prin-
ciples it represented.
The nominee OF the second and third
national conventions was the lamented
LINCOLN, and he was elected because by
that time the people had come to see that
the salvation of the nation ana the pres
ervation OF it's integrity depended chiefly
upon wise choice for chief executive
and the support OF party which made
its cardinal principle of faith the main
tenance OF the Union against assaults
from enemies at home and foes from
abroad.
Then came the nomina tion and election
OF GRANT in 1868 and again in 1872, q
fitting and deserved tribute to the SOL
dier whose magnificent generalship and
patriotic devotion played SO prominent
a part in the trying days when the ex-
istence OF the nation was menaced.
Following GRANT, the soldier Presi-
dent, came RUTHERFORD B. HAYES in
1876, GARFIELD in 1880. BLAINE in 1884
and HARRISON in 1888 and 1872. or all
these nominees the only ones defeated
were FREMONT, who was the candidate
in the infancy of the party, BLAINE in
1884 and HARRISON In 1892.
1t is worthy OF note also that LINCOLN
received a unanimous call to the PresI-
dency from the convention in 1864, while
to GRANT was extended the Same honor
on both occasions when he was made
the standard bearer OF the party.
FREMONT in 1896 and HARRISON in 1892
were nominated on the first ballot.
HAYES was made the candidate on the
seventh, GARFIELD on the twenty-sixtb,
BLAINE on the fourth, and HARRISON
In 1883 on the eighth.
During the forty years which embrace
the history OF the Republican party, there
has been but single bolt, that of 1872,
when the so-called Liberal Republican
movement was inaugurated and that
proved so insignificant that its effects
were moi felt at tho time and the fact that
! 1t occurred has been almost forgotten.
| Such, In brief. is the history OF the Re
publican party and glorious one 1t Is,
nor is there the slightest room to doubt
that its lustre will be still further bright
ened as result of the patriotic work OF
the st. Louis convention to be followed
by the triumphant endorsement of the
standard bearers there chosen by the pco-
pie at the polls.
