The death of Lewis Carroll (the
Rev c. H. Dodgson), author of ''Alice
in Wonderland" has caused the great
est regret in all parts of Great Britain.
The papers are full of "reminiscences of
his many stories, showing how intense
was his love for children and how uni
yersal was his shyness and dignity to
others. Lewis CARROLL was very par
ticular as to his peronal appearance.
His alert figure and general vigor con-
veyed the impression that he was much
younger than sixty-fve. He never
wore an overcoat in his life and con-
tinued to take long constitutionals to
with his sisters at Guilford when he
died.

guineas, including no guineas for a
magnificent hunter Lord Arravale, who
won the National Hunt cup at Punches
town in 1896.

scheme, reminding one of those famous
competitions in Italy wherein Brunei
leschi and Michael Angelo participant
ed" There is" the Spectator adds,
"the making or marring of magnifi-
cent idea in the project" Apropos the
Spectator discourses at length on the
striking contrasts in America, where
so many men of wealth, whose money
has been derived from coal, iron or
railways, are not governed merely by
unitarian conditions when they endow
the public with their surplus wealth."
and adds: This is a sign of the ideal
ism, which, Lowell said, laid hid in
the American character"

the newspapers are suggesting the for
nation of a theater with the Earl Of

diplomatic exemption" in the case OF
his son, J. E. White. and Mr.. Spencer
Edley, secretary to Col. John Hay, the
