granted that she was affected and provincial.
and short. and all the rest OF 1t, she was
probably not without suitors. Her defects,
or faults, do not seem to have been those of
an unadmired OF neglected. woman. Then
remember what johnson was like, even in his
twenties, and how he would have impressed
the senses OF an ordinary widow fond of OK
ternals. she loved him, accepted him, and
made him happy, gave to one OF the noblest of
all English hearts the one love OF its sombre
lfe. And English literature has no better
phrase for her than Macaulay s-''She ac-
cspted. with readiness which did her little
honor, the addresses Of suitor who might
have been her son."
Her readiness did her incalculable honor.
But it in at least worth remem bering that
Johnson had first done her incalculable honor.

ted In the smali class OF yachts and there

the owners of boats are getting them
ready to participate In the race for the
I two handsome cups that are offered, one

GLADSTONE.


William Ewart Gladstone was a
man of tremendous vitality, and
to that vitality, rather than to
specifically imposing accomplish
ment, will history, perhaps, credit
the fame he has borne.
Indeed, he lived to see his active
life pass into history that now
seems almost remote in our
time of kaleidoscope event. He
had ceased to be an active leader
while yet in active health of mind
and body. Precisely why this was
so it might be hard to explain,
although one reason undoubtedly
was that English party politics
have not been of the aggressive
character that marked the days OF
Gladstone's supremacy as par
tisan leader and the party lines
have been much smoothed down.
And Gladstone, to show himself
at his best, needed a party to lead
and red-hot cause to fight. But
the great Liberal party which he
led had begun to disintegrate be-
fore he released his grasp OH pub
lie affairs. Both Gladstone and
his party have left an IMPRESSION
however, that will never be. ef-
faced, for the development Of lib
eral democracy in English politics
has been co-extensive with his
public career. Therein is his in
fuence on his age, the Victorian
era, which his political activity
from the beginning nearly COW
cred. Modern democracy recog-
nizes in him one Of its chief
fashioners.

MISS DIckIE's PROPHECY.
Her Prediction Of warIike Service For the
Olympia 1T Its Christening.

Her Prediction Of WarIike Service For the
Olympia 1T It's Christening.
The proudest lady in the land is Miss
Anna Dickie, daughter Of George w.
Dicl1ie, superintendent Of the Union
Iron works at San Francisco. Miss
Dickie's pride is quite. pardonable. too,
for she had the honor of shedding the
first blood for tho new navy. Miss
Dickie was chosen to christen the cruiser
Olympia when she was launched from
the plant of the Union Iron works. She
was then bright little girl of ~. Now
she has grown up and is one OF San
Francisco's beautiful daughters.
AS the Olympia slid along the ways
Miss Dickie raised a bottle of champagne
and brought il down with a crash over
the bow of the vessel. 1t was noticeable
that something had happened not exact
ly in accordance with the programme.
A smile of fortitude, rather indicating
an attempt TO suppress pain, was appar-
ent on Miss Dickie's face, and the spec
tators wondered why she wrapped a
handkerchief abont ber finger, where 1t
remained for tho rest of the day. Now
that Dewey has met and conquered the
Spanish feet in Manila Miss Diclie is
overjoyed with the success of the Olym-
pia. In the utmost enthusiasm she
praises the splendid behavior OF the
ship, but she did not care to discuss the
subject of the slight accident that oc-
Cured when the vessel was launched.
Her father was less reticent. 1T was
all ON account of that bottle OF cham
pagne," said Mr.. Dickie. when my
daughter broke that bottle over the
ships bows, according to an ancient and
honored maritime custom, a particle OF
the shattered glass cut her finger, which
bled profusely. The blood trickled down
over the bow and left a crimson streak
along the rail. She turned to me with
a queer little smile and exclaimed: See,
father, it is a good omen-the first blood
for the new navy. Let me make .
prophecy-this will be the first ship Of
the new navy to shed blood for our ma
tion's honor. " "Now, Mr.. Reporter, I"
Miss Dicxie chimed in, ''you see why I
am proud of my ship Every bolt and
rivet was placed under the direct super
intendence of my father, from the keel
to the buck. So you see she is one Of
the family, and you may be sure we are
proud Of the relationship New York

One hundred and thirty-six
years ago little army of twenty
three hundred men from the At
lantic commonwealth, led by Gen.
Lyman and Col. Israel Putnam,
swept the Spaniards defending
Havana into the sea and ended
VIGOROUSLY the arduous cam
paign begun for the reduction OF
Cuba by the English ships and
army of fourteen thousand men.
The latter were in bad shape with
Cuban fever and would scarcely
have been able to complete the
job which began with an unsatis-
factory bombardrent of Moro and
a landing on the coast for a siege
of the city. OF the American con-
tingent which arrived just in time
to turn defeat into victory scarcely
hundred survived the subsequent
distress from the fever. Old MORO
will 60 down before modern ord
nance far more easily than it did
before the guns of the eighteenth
century and IT is hoped that the
sanitary organization of our day
will spare the troops to do the fight
ing that must be done. The mem
orable fight of the colonial troops
in behalf of the discouraged army
from the mother country took place
Oh August S, 1862, and the Span
iards fought so desperately that
great numbers Of them driven into
