OLDEST
VICIlORnA'S
FRIEND.
QUEEN

By the much lamented death OF the
dowager duch ess Of Athole the queen
has lost the hast Of the friends Of her
daye. There had been a c,ose
and cordial intimacy between them
for difty-three years, and at no period
has there been anyone about the court
who was more thoroughly trusted by
her majesty than the late duchess, who
was not only tres grande dame, but a
woman Of fine abilities, with much tact
and social grace and cleverness, and
blessed with great common sense. Her
remarkable merits and social excel
lence were everywhere most readily ac-
knowledged. She was full of the polite
ness and good breeding OF the old
school, and made herself pleasant TO
everyone who approached her.
The greater part of her long life the
duchess passed in the Auhole district OF
Perthshre, where she was most truly
beloved by all classes, and her name
was a household word throughout the
country" Her charities were most
munihcent. and She was literally I'M
firing in good works Of ali kinds. The
duchess was the pioneer Of popular edu-
cation in the district, for some fifty
years ago she built and established
schools at Dunkeid and at Blair, and
she was the means Of starting them at
other places on the Athole estate. She
carried on farm and maintained a
large dairy and expensive garden fer
the beneft OF the district, and she made
frequent distributions Of GOALS and
clothing to the poor people for many
miles round Dunkeid. The great object
of the duchess, indeed, was to do her duty
to her neighbors in the widest sense OF
the term; and it is no wonder that her
death has cast profound gloom over
= the whole OF the Athole country, as
she will he a great and irreparable loss
to that district.
The duchess was the daughter or Mr.
. .Home-Drummond, OF Blair Drummond
= and in 1889 she married Lord Gleniyon
q who became duke OF Athole In 1876
1 and he died in 1864, having received
e visit from the queen at Blair Castl
/. cher fourth visit there) during his las
/ Illness. The duchess has since lived a
r Dunkeid House, her beautiful place oi
the Tay, where the queen has severa
times visited her. The duchess an
;. been a ladyof the bedchamber for forty
4 three years. and in 1882 she was ms

A LIFE FULL OF RISKS.
This Man Was n Hero, But He Spoiled
the Romance by His Common
place Finish.

"One of the unluclSiest fellows ]
knew in the civil war, that survived
his army experience" tells grim old
veteran, "was q man named Horton,
from Plainfeld, Conn. At the break
ing out of the unpleasantness he en-.
listed in the navy and was wrecked
at the Bahamas. Shortly after that
he undertook to run prize into port,
but was himself run in by the enemy
and brought up in Libby"
THAT was hard luck"
That's only beginning of my sto-
~. When Horton was exchanged he
was on the ship that was to tow the
Monitor to Charleston. The vessel
went down, you will remember, and
while he was attempting TO rescue
some of the crew he drifted off intc
the gulf and was not picked up unit
the next day. He came through al
right, but afterwards, while he was
firing salute at San Domingo, boil
Of his arms were blown off by the ex
plosion Of a gun. Strange to relate
be was again a hale, hearty man whel
his wounds healed"

Havana. March 23.--La Lucha, in an

american naval officers says La
Lucia, "are not likely to decide against
brother officers. The diver could not
give expert testimony. owing to the
fact that the machinery was Embedded

be regretted that more time and care
were not given to the prepar alton or
a report for which the whole world
waits. and which Is likely to change the
entire feelings on the part of the Ameri-
can people toward Spain and Cuba"
La Lucha publishes also an interview
with Consul General Lee. which quotes
him as saying that he knows nothing
of the nature of the report. but is sat
isfed that Gen. Blanco never con-
ceived of the disaster until he heard the
shock in the harBor.
