leave of absence, but i'm view of the fact that
General Lawton has turned over the com.
mand of Santiago to General Wood and has
been assigned to division command in the

MARQUIS OF HARRINGTON.
The Famous Englishman Talked of as
SaIiSbury's Successor.

he has come to the front again and is now
| talked of as the successor of Lord Salisbury
| in the premiership. The title of Marquis OF
Harrington, which Spencer CaVend1sh pore
before his fathers death. was only an hon
orary title, and he was so called because he
was his fathers eldest son.
The family of Cavendish first became
prominent when John Cavendish, a page OF
the court of Richard H. stabbed Wat Tyler
after Lord Mayor Walworth had Knocked
the rebel down with his mace. There IS a
legend to the effect that John was not
page, but a servant who brought in the
carving dish, and that he stabbed Tyler

The Duke of Devonshire is a knight of
the Garter as was his father before him,
and besides his ducal title he bears those
of Marquis of Harrington, Earl of Devon
shire Earl of Burlington, Baron CaYendlSn
of Hardwicke, Baron Cavendish of Keigh-
ley and is lord lieutenant of the County
of Derby. He was a lord OF the Admiralty
in 1862 secretary of state for war in 1866,
postmaster general, 1868 to 1871, chief secre-
tary for Ireland, 1871 to 1874, secretary of
state for India 1850 to 1882, again secretary see
of war, 1882 to 1885, and from 1885 lord
president of the council. He. has been lord
rector of the University of Marlborough
and chancellor of Cambridge University. He
came into his dukedom in 1891, and married
in 1892 the Countess Louise d Alien, dowager
Duchess of Manchester and mother-1n-laW
of the American Duchess Consuelo Yznaga.
The Duke of Devonshire has always been
Liberal in politics, but split with Glad
stone on the Irish "home rule" question
and has been a supporter of the present Co
alition government. The duke is sixty-flve
years DID, but in good health and vigorous.
He is a great sleeper, and when he was in
the House of Commons he would spend
hours sometimes doing on the benches with
his hat pulled down over his eyes. The duke
owns 1872 acres of land in various coun-
ties but not acre in the county from
which he takes his ducal title. He is the
patron of forty-two church livingS, the value
of which amount to over $4,000 year. His
place of Chatworth in Derbyshire is one of
the most famous country seats in the world.
Last winter the duke and duchess gave a
great fancy dress ball at Devonshire House,
which was talked of for months afterward,
and was intended to eclipse the Bradley

The Man who Saves.

Chicago Post.
No Wonder when a man sees the horrible
disease of poverty, as it appears when fas-
tened on generation, that he mentally de-
his children from it. He would rather burn
in a hell of punishment for overreaching,
for merciless business methods-for ANY
own, than in a hell of leaving them exposed
to the pestilence of want. Such man is
often repfehended by the ignorant, and by
young generation should take care of them
selves. He is called selfish and grasping and
a money-grubber. But he sets his finty
face to the future and pursues his course,
knowing that not one of his accusers has
his power of self-sacrifice. Whatever he de-
MES himself is so much more security pro-
vided for the children. There are sons and
daughters who appreciate him, and there
are sons and daughters not worth the
trouble taken for them. In either case he
Offers I'D his life in sacrifice.

WABASH, Ind, May A.-Hon. Cary E.
Cowgirl of this city, who has been one of
the prominent candidates for Congress in
the Eleventh district. to-day published a
communication in the Wabash Plain Dealer
Withdrawing from the race. He assigns as
his reasons the pressure of professional
business, continued i'll health, which has
prevented his giving proper attention to the
canvass, and the fact that there are several
candidates for other offices from Wabash
county. Mr. Cowgirl had the twenty-five
delegates from this county solid for him,
and large number of Republicans intended
going to the Logansport convention next
week to assist HIM. This leaves three cam
didates, Judge Mcconnell, of Logansport
Hon. James F. Statesman, of Peru and
Major Steele, of Marion, in the race. Steele's
denomination seems to be a certainty.

very largely diverted into active channels Of

INTERESTING TOWN.
OF all the sections into which Manila Is
divided either by artificial boundaries or
natural ones. the old walled town is the
most interesting, and at this period prob
ably the most useful. The river bounds it on
the north, the bay and promenade on the
west and long line of boulevard on the
southeast. This leaves an irregular triangle
whose sides are each about a mile long. to
be surrounded by those old moss-covered
walls rising out of meats overgrown with
weeds. AT the three corners of the triangle
are the main batteries, and down at the
apex. which is formed by the meeting OF
the west wall with the river, is the grim old
fort known as the Black Hole. in which
three score of prisoners were inadvertently
smothered to death during the early days OF
the present revolution In front of the for
t!hcations, facing west toward the bay
runs the Maleccn promenade, and in peace

just tops the beach, l have often met Gen.

capital that 1t is. In the roadway loitered
carriages of all sorts filled with natives and
foreigners in their afternoon dress, and now
and then hats all along the line were DOTTED
as the archbishop dashed by in his closed
barouche drawn by four white ponies From
carriages that ratified over the shaky draw
bridges, and by sunset the broader plaza at
the south end of the Malecon was filled with
the fashion of Manila, out to hear the band
and to enjoy the breeze blowing over from
Cavite through the shipping.
Within the citadel the streets are mar
row, and the buttressed houses stuffy. Pom
derous churches squeeze themselves in cor
ners and ruined arches show the work or
earthquakes. In those hot days and nights
of the dry season no breath of air seems
to reach the pavementS in old Manila'S
streets, but in troublouS times like these,
when 10000 natives are thirstng to throw
out Spain'S priests and officials, and are
crowding up to the only thoroughfares OF
the capital, those weedy meats around old
Manila those heavy walls, those draw
bridges, and cracking gates will all serve as
they have served before to prevent a general
massacre. The guns of our fleet which
escaped unsecured in that naval battle Oft
Cavite, can knock the walls to splintera
but the few marines on the American ships
arc powerlesS to stop suburban massacre
when once the natives taste of blood and
run amuck.'
In spite of what people who have never
been to the Philippines may say, the climate
OF Manila, even in summer, is healthy and
free from danger to the white race. Ameri-
can troops could want no more salubriouS
watering place than camp on that island
of Corregidor. by which sweep all the fresh
breeZes that blow from Manila bay and the
China sea. But If we hold the Philippines
we have yet to fight long and trying, anu
perhaps intending battles of civilization in
400 islands with more than 100000 people.

Making walking Canes.

Meehan'S Monthly.
Possibly few matters brought to public
notice through Meehan's Monthly have at
tracted more attention than the suggestion
to combine amusement with instruction in
the matter of making walking canes out OF
living plants. The Hon. j. Sterling Morton,
formerly United States commissioners of ag-
riculture, says: Il was very much pleased
with the paragraph upon Curved Trees, :
which are very interesting to me. For some
