Mrs. Wallace is the widow of James

1885 under somewhat strange circum-
stances his youthful bride was arrested
and tried for numbering him, but she
was freed. She married him when she
was only Is years old, although he was
almost 60. She was widow at II, and
to avoid unpleasant notoriety she as
sumed the name Of Wallace.
She came to Chicago after she had
spent considerable money travelling in
Europe. and purchased the residence at
8431 Indiana avenue, which she fur.
,nished in splendid style. OF late she

gin, the United States could receive benefit
from the treaty. The advantage would DO

Unworthy Use OF the Maple.

The precipitate flight OF the Hon. GROVER
CLEvELAN from Washington on the little
Maple. occurring simultaneously with the
arrival OF Queen LrLIUoKALASI, is one
Of the most ignoble incidents in our his
tory, and an insult to the whole floral and
arboreal fleet. Once before now the Presi-
dent Of the United States has scooted away
10 the swamps on a lighthouse tender at
the rumor OF the poor detnroned monarch's
approach. but the evasion was not so head
long as this. In the haste OF the surrepti-
tious departure between midnight and sun
rise on Saturday morning, the accustomed
preparations for lighthouse inspection were
all omitted. The usual companions of the
President received no invitations. Fighting
Bob was not notified to be mt the dock.
1t is reported that even the Demijohn was
left behind. The agitated THuRBER had
forgotten all about it!
Now, whatever were Mr. CLEvELAND's
private reasons for avoiding the interview
which his great and good lady friend SO
eagerly and hopefully courts, it was not
necessary for him to degrade the floral and
arboreal navy in this fashion. The func-
tions OF the fragrant little feet are royal
rather than republican; for Mr.. CLEVELAND
uses it habitually as IL 1t were built and
maintained for his personal convenience;
and nobody but a monarch ought to take
that view Of public property. II he had Sc
lected the tender with the sweetest and
prettiest name: II he had sailed forth. let
US say. on the Violet or the Mistletoe with
poi and alohas to welcome LILIUoKALASI
and to bring her into port amid the
ncclamations of the multitude, then the
dignity OF the feet, at least, would have
been preserved. But the employment Of
the Maple as a means of escaping an incom-
ing monarch of avoiding royalty in dis
tress. Of evading an official duty and SEN
timental responsibility voluntarily in
Cured by Mr.. CLEVELAND himself, is moth
ing less than a humiliation to the entire
lighthouse tender service.
II Mr.. CLEVELAND lacked the courage to
meet his once royal friend, that is matter
for his own conscience. But he need not
have dragged the innocent Maple down
with him. He might have left Washington
by night express, in the upper berth OF a
sleeping car. He might have concealed
himself at the top OF the Washington Monu-
ment and cut the elevator ropes. He might
have pretended to be ill OF a contagious dis
ease. Any one OF these subterfuges would
have been less discreditable to the Chief
Magistrate Of the United States than flight
by Government vessel.
That flight, Furthermore, was as futile as
it was precipitate and foolish. All attempts
failed to induce LILIUoKALANI to return to
Boston or Honolulu without an interview
with Mr.. CLEVELAND. She settled down.
like dusky and inexorable Fate, to await
the arrival Of the Maple. Even before these
lines are read she may have succeeded in
her long g-chcrished and perfectly legitimate
purpose. At all events. sooner or later,
to-day or tomorrow, this week or next.
Destiny will do its work, and she and he
will be face to face.

French Canadians in New England.

Very few people understand how great
Is the overflow Of the French population Of
the Canadian province Of Quebec into the
United States, and more particularly into
New England. Large numbers can be found
in Michigan and others OF the Western
States, but it is to New England that the
bulk OF the immigration has made its way.
At first the lumber camps attracted the
hardy and skilled French Canadian axemen
and drivers. but the establishment OF man.
ufactures throughout New England soon
drew away from the monotonous work Of
the backwoods farms and the dull life OF
the rigorous northern winter Of Quebec

lies Of the hdbitdnts, and the surplus OF the
overstocked labor markets OF the Canadian
towns. The exodus began with the abro-
cation of the Reciprocity treaty in 1853,
and the outflow has continued uninter-
ruptedly ever since, until it Is esti-
mated that there are not far from half
4 million French Canadians in New
England alone, principally centred in the
large manufacturing towns. While retain
ing many Of the characteristics of their race,
such as industry, thrift, and general So

to the broadening influences OF their Ameri-

Dental election in no part of the Union was
more vivid interest taken in the various
controversies around which it turned than
among the French Canadian emi1res in New
England; and it was their votes that gave
the large majorites to the Republican
tickets In the different States.
As is but natural, this first overflow from
Quebec still clings to the use of the French
language, and has churches and press Of
its own, although large numbers, more es-
pecially among the younger folks, have ac-
quired a tolerable knowledge of the English,
or, as many OF them call It. the American
language. As rule their press Is intelli-
