cHoATE SPEAKS IN LONDON.
A Guest at the Annual Dinner of the
Associated Chambers of

n Shtbt oh nv ~
Associated Chambers of Commerce.
LONDON (By Cable).-The annual dinner
OF the Associated Chambers of Commerce
was given Wednesday night and among
the guests we're Mr., Joseph Choate, the
American Ambassador, and Rear-Admiral
Lord Charles Beresford.
Mr.. Choate got q most enthusiastic re-
eeption. He said he might properly use
the occasion to express his countrymen'5
appreciation OF the forbearance, good will
and friendship that was freely manifested
for them by the British. He was grateful
for the cordial greetings he had received
since he landed In England. He had found
the door very wide open for hlm.
Mr.. Choate provoked much laughter by
his humorous references to the Venezuela
affrir. He said; "The Americans love
mere sport of making him roar, but that
time he disappointed them. He would not
roar at all, but was dumb as the Sphinx"
Mr.. Chdate referred feelingly to the
death Of Lord Herscheli and the sickness
Of Rudyard Kipling. He then treated OF
the trade OF Great Britain and the United
States, and said he did not believe that the
two countries, although friends, would
ever cease to be rivals, but It should be a
generous, royal rivalry. By the two labor
ing together in the direction of peace, and
uniting their voices in demanding peace,
1t was almost certain that every case to
come and being followed by law, order and
freedom would advance the cause OF hui
manity and civilization the world over.
Upon the conclusion of his speech Mr..
Choate was greeted with loud cheers. This
was his first public speech In England, and
his remarks made an excellent impression.

A ring of surprising great historical
interest is the celebrated hoop pre-
sented by Queen Elizabeth tothe Earl
of Essex, at the time when he was
her favorite; she told him, should he
ever come into trouble, no matter
what, he should send her the ring.
The occurrence when Essex was con-
demned to death and sent her the
ring which she did not receive, is n
of the most tragical on the pages of
history. The ring was by Essex sent
to his cousin, Lady Scrope, but the
messenger handed it by mistake to
the Countess Of Nottingham, whose
husband was one of the enemies of
Essex, and the ring was never handed
to the Queen. Years afterward, when
the Countess was dying, she sent for
the Queen, confessed her guilt and
asked forgiveness. But Elizabeth
was so enraged that she violently
shook the dying woman, cursed her,
etc, and refused her for iveness. The
ring itself is enameled blue and has a
small portrait of the Queen

With the bachelors outuumbering
the maids in every State Of the Union
it ought to be easy for the unmarried
woman to secure a partner anywhere,
but the region where bachelors are
most in excess is, of course, the most
favorable to the spinster, since the
abundance of unmarried men gives
her a wider range of choice. From a
matrimonial point of view Idahoi is the
best State of'the Union, for there the
number Of the bachelors is to that of
the maids as 16, 5S4 to 1926, each IN
married woman in Idaho, therefore,
having ten or eleven bachelors, not
exactly at her beck, but available as a
husband. From most points of view
the West is the Mecca of the young
unmarried woman, for not only are
there more unmarried men in the
Western States, but a living is more
easily made in the West than in the
East. and therefore the Western men
are more addicted to matrimony.-
