Mrg Mary A. Livermore is hopelessly
| i'll at her home in Melrose, Mass. The
work of this wonderful and noble wo-

who have listened to her utterances can
never forget the grandeur and goodness
with which Mrs. Livermore impressed
all hearts. She was inspired by high
and pure purposes in all that she wrote,
spoke or did, and in every phase of her
| long life her mind sustained her with
unfailing richness and power.
William Waldorf Astor, according
| to the New York Journal, is going to
abandon his country and become per
manent resident of England. He has a
grievance against his native land. He
says the Colonists and.their descendants s
are too democratic in their ideas They
do not pay sufficient court to wealth.
Some of the vulgar defendants of the
Colonists think an Astor is just as good
| as anybody else providing he behaves
himself properly, and that appears to be
CALLING to William Waldorf. He traces
his ancestry back to the Crusades, and
feels that he is entitled to special con
sideration because his father was fortu-
nate enough to get possession of a great
er portion of the earth than some other
peoples fathers But the average Am
erican is practical and bases the value
of men on their usefulness.
