Ambassador Choate signalized his
public debut in London by a
very clever speech at the chamber
of commerce banquet. He was witty,
but he did not forget the statesman
like dignity of his office. He was
happy in expressing the cordiality of
international sympathy, without falling
into mawkish sentimentality or imply
ing impossible pledges of alliance. He
did not hesitate to admit that on "our
side of the water we love occasionally
to twist the lions tail for the mere
sport of hearing him roar" and the
laughter with which this frank confess
sion of racial weakness was received
shows that the spirit of the remarks
was thoroughly appreciated. Lord
Charles Beresford, after pralslng the
American navy, its men and ships. ex-
pressed the hope that 'ff anything oc-
ours affecting our honor and safety.
those two fleets will be together. That
Will make for peace" 1t was in many
ways a flattering speech. but Mr..
Choate would not run the risk of being
placed in a false position. He told his
London hearers with sensible directness
that, though friends, we shall never
cease to be rivals In the future as
in the past, we on our side and you
on yours, will still press every advan-
taSe that can be fairly taken" and
differences will be settled by arbitra-
ton or any means save war. He
added: ut isl won't say as Lord
Charles Beresford did, by putting fleets
side by side-but by a common purpose
and united voice, for us to command
peace for the mutual support of the
commerce of the two countries" There
ought to be peace and Americanism
enough in these words to suit every
body of sane and sober mind.

sole scarfs that are being used with
such telling effect this season. are
shown to the best advantage. Violets
and several shades of blue seem to be
the favorites. Paradise plumes are
taking the place of aigrettes for the
taller hats. These are used in COM

One of the most effective creations
shown is medium sized hat in violet,
trimmed with a drapery of lavender
chiffon. on which is sewed folds of vfo-

of FURNISHED gold and rhinestones. On
the back is a large bunch of double

Another is a large picture hat of green

with fancy braid. Il is edged with

pond lilies and black satin roses. Pond

A female member of "The Belle nj
New York company which played in
Worcester last week, at the Worcester
Theatre, created general alarm
among passengers waiting for trains
at the Union station yesterday morn
ing, by alighting from the II 40 train
FOR Boston and getting cast in the

success. The Cleveland Leader, which
he established earlier in his career, is
another journal Of wide repute. Out
side of his profession, Mr. Medill was
also a useful man. He served in the
Illinois constitutional convention, and
he was appointed a member of the civil
service commission by President Grant
in 1871. His most conspicuous public
work, however. was performed as may

Of course the Cuban assembly may
become so ADVANTAGEOUS that it will
have to be suppressed as a measure of
peace, for there is sense in the remark
of Gonzales Quesada, who has been de-
posed as the Cuban representative at
Washington. He warns the government
against making martyrs of the assem-
blymen. Perhaps the government may
find it most expedient simply to ignore
the assembly, as the Cubans themselves
have done upon occasion.

END OF SAD LIFE,
Fanny Sylvester Otherwise Known as
Belle Ferry, Dies of Consumption,

Fanny Sylvester, otherwise known as
Belle Perry" died at the Home farm
yesterday with consumption. She was
admitted to the institution Jan. Is, 1899,
at which time the disease had a firm
hold upon her. and has failed gradually
until her death.
Mrs. Sylvester was born in North
Reading 81 years ago, and came from
a respectable family In 1880 she mar
ried Charles NJ. Sylvester and lived
with him until 1893, when she was de-
serted. Since that time she has fig
ured in this city TO a more or less sen
satiOnal degree.
Her maiden name was FANNY KelIev
and so far as is known, she has no relS j.,

Joseph Medill, whose death is an
nounced at San Antonio, Tex, at the
age Of rs, was virtually the last of the
famous editors of the old school. Like
Charles \. Dana and most of his peers
it may be said that he died in the har-
ness for he continued to exercise gem
eral supervision of the Chicago Tribune
up to the last, though the details Of man
agement have latterly been entrusted
to mis- son-iu-law. He had had valuable
experience before he went to Chicago
in 1864, but it was there he made his
reputation. Both personally and pro-
fessionally he was active in promoting
the nomination of Abraham Lincoln.
and after that event, the Chicago Trib-
une exercised beyond question a
more powerful editorial influence
than any other paper west Of New
York. Since 1874. he has owned a
controlling interest in the property.
Mr. Mediil was not only forceful
writer but an able administrator and
business man, and it was to this COM

IN LAST STAGES,
John Carroll, Dying Of Consumption, las
Escaped From Home Farm.

John Carroll, about 40 years old, who
was committed to the Home farm
several weeks ago at his own request,
escaped from the institution recently
by letting himself down from a second
story window on a rope improvised
from a sheet. Superintendent Graves
says the man is in the last stages of
consumption, and if any of his friends
know of his whereabouts, they should
at once take steps to have him sent
back to the institution. His condition
is a menace to any person with whom
he comes in contact, and the day he
was in the overseers of the poor office,
it was found necessary to raise the
windows to let the pure air in. Carroll
worked for a number of years in

The bill providing for retirement
fund for Boston school teachers has
passed tho Senate by the casting vote
Of the president. The closeness Of the
vote is an indication of the sharp con-
test made over the bill, There was
nothing in this unfriendly to the teach
ers. but there was some force in the
argument that they would profit more
by the ordinary insurance company
than by this measure, and many of
them did not understand how little they
would actually gain by it.

1t is mistake to suppose that sun
day trains are wholly forbidden in Con-
necticut. The bill which has just been
passed by the state senate, and seems
likely to be passed by the house, mere
ly amends the law so that trains can he
run between the hours Of 1890 a. m.
and 3 p. M, the ordinary period of
church service. as well as during other
hours of the Sabbath. Marked as this
innovation may be considered in the
Nutmeg state, there seems little reason
to doubt that it would have been made
long ago if the people had been consult
ed. What are the influences that have
prevented the change at the state house
need not be described here. Even minis
tiers approve of IT, for the present sys-
tenn is an anomaly that simply causes
obstruction, inconvenience and hard
ship without saving respect either for
the day or the law.
