ASTOR PAYS $15,OOO
 FOR A CHAPERON
An Interesting Event That Will Cut Off Herbert Asquith and
 His Wife's Inheritance.

London, March 27.-william Waldorf As- tor, according to the World correspondent information, arranged just before sailing for New York that his daughter Pauline should be chaperoned during the coming London season by the Countess of Selkirk. This lady is the elderly widow of Scotch peer at whose death the title became ex- tinct. She has no children, Is not rich and has a small house, No. 50 Berkeley Square, as well as a dover house, Balmae Castle, Kirkcudbright. When the Princess Marie, a sister of the present Dhuleep Singh, came out a few years ago she was placed by Queen Victoria, whose ward she Is, under the chaperonage of the Countess of Selkirk, who got s10,0OO year for looking after her.
 As William Waldorf Astor had no lady relative in England to go out with his daughter, the countess qualifications for the delicate and responsible duty of a chap eron were brought under his notice. She was approached on behalf of MT. Astor, and, terms having been arranged and an agreement duly signed and sealed and stamped Miss Astor Is now placed undeR her wing.
 It is understood that the consideration in the agreement is $15,000 for the season, and, of course, expenses on a liberal scale. The Countess of Selkirk is a lady of charming manners and profound discretion. She has a thorough knowledge of the select circle of English society, in which Miss Astor will move.
 The countess responsibility, of course is very heavy one, as her wards great fortune will attract many suitors, eligible and otherwise. Miss Astor's natural desti- ny is to make great match, and the coun- tess must see that it Is fulfilled. The pro- ject of an alliance with the Duke of Rox- burghe, the World hears. has only advanced to the point of being a pious wish on the part of both families that such marriage might be arranged, but there is no inten- ten of forcing matters to a head at pres- ent.
 When her father Is here Pauline Astor, will of course go out with him occas.on- ally, but his distaste for general society grows stronger every day, and the Coun- tess of Selkirk will be her compan on to the great majority of entertainments. In fact, one of the countess duties will be to decide what invitations shall be accepted, acting upon her knowledge of the particu- lar species of guests likely to be encoun- tered by her ward at particular houses.
 Miss Astor herself is of quiet disposi- ton, not disposed to make social functions the chief aim of her life She will be seen only at the very smartest gatherings.

THE BEST MEN SELECTED

From the Mobile Register.
 The list of delegates nominated to rep resent the people in the coming constitu- tional convention shows that the expected has happened. Some time ago, in answer to statement that the convention would be dangerous to the states interest at this times, we called attention to the fact that a constitutional convention Is higher body than a legislative; that as a rule, better class of men seek place in such a conven- tion than in the legislature and the people elect better men. The primaries show that this rule has been followed. The names of the ablest men in the state are found in the list which we print this morning. It Is evident that the men have been selected because of their ability and regardless of differences of opinion as to the national policy of the democratic party. The con- stitution framed by such men should, we think, be a credit to our state.

 Sometimes in dreams I see
 The houses of the Lord, not built with
 hands;
 Each mansion that in Gods own city
 stands,
 Empty and waiting,
 Lifts up its everlasting doors for me-
 And some of these are called
 With flaming swords. for some hero's home; And some for weary souls that long did roam Are soft be-cushioned; And some are set in green and lilied field. But fairest of them all Are those great houses whereout laughs ing eyes From nursery windows iook and sounds arise Of little voc Holding within eternal festival; And flying glimpses glcam Of nut-brown locks, of golden, curly head, Of innocent foweret faces, hands out spread In joyous welcome, And littlo feet that dance across my dream. And rounded, rosy lmbs Through cloudy curtains dance and dis appear; And tiny songs. and prattle sweet to hear. | And lovely laughter, | Ring softly out, and baby mirth OCT brirns- 1 And there at last know The barren woman shall keep house some day | joyful mother of oh ldren; and shall say, | Sobhing with gladness. | Past all my hopes. why hast Thou blessed me soi

Johnson be excepted, Mckinley is the
first president to embrace every con-
venient opportunity to define and de-
fend the policies of his administration.
The dignity of the proceeding may be
open to question, but the president feels
that it is no longer safe to leave his
acts to time for vindication-he must
explain them as he goes along.
The newspaper has advantages over
the stump, and vice versa the stump
has advantages over the press. People
like to see and hear the big men of the
country discuss its big issues. Just
now the United States has more than
its usual run of big issues, if not of big
men. A man of Bryan's force of char
acter, power of intellect, clearness of
expression and magnetism of person.
ality is capable of producing deep and
lasting impression on his audiences
After all, oratory is the highest of the
arts and it's revival is a cheering sign.

Believed That "I3ob" Alberdine Is Men,

Robert Alberdine, an time gamb-
Ter well known to all devotees to the
green cloth, has possibly made his last
deal. He was taken to the county Jail
last evening to be detained pending an
examination as to his mental condition,
and it is feared by his friends that his
mind is permanently deranged.
Bob, as the unfortunate man Is
known to more people than he is by his
right name, commenced showing signs
of mental unsoundness about two
months ago, His partners, Henry and
Paul Albertson, sent HIM out to Pipe
stone Springs in charge of friend in
the hope that he would improve, but in
stead he has grown worse and it was
at last decided to have him examined
by commission. If his case is pro-
nounced one of insanity. as there is
every probability it will be, it is the
intention to send him to a private asy-
um. Alberdine has been a conspicuous
figure among the gamblers for many
years. He was noted for his love of
money, and it is thought his constant
fear he would go broke had considerable
to do with unbalancing his mind. He is
a partner with the Albertson Brothers
in the M. & M. gambling house and is
worth considerable money.
