LUNDON, august ll.-W Mle people
IN the United States are enduring
severe heat waves the weather in this
country has been extraordinary cold,
the thermometer registering sixty de-
grees and lower. The cold, prolonged
rains and gales have nearly spoiled
country life and sport London is
empty of the leisure class and with
few exceptions the ministers, diplo-
mats and financiers have gone TO the
country side with the several thousand
idlers preparatory to the beginning of
the shooting-season next week. The
size of the coveys and the probabilities
of the general selection taking place
early in October are the paramount
subjects for discussion among the
directors of public opinion. The Con-
sentative Offices and the Liberal head
quarters are deep in campaign BUSH
ness. Immense quantities of liter
allure are being sent out to the con-
stituencies. Within thirty-fve days
after the dissolution of Parliament, it
is announced, the newly elected Parlia-
ment will meet.
Baron Russell, of KiIIowen,
whose death, as the result OF an oper-
alton, occurred yesterday morning,
was one of the most engaging and low
able personalities in English public
life. His generosity to his friends, in
deed, to anybody whom he became
aware was in difficulties, swallowed
while he was practicing barrister,
100000 a year and involved him in
debts that threatened to destroy his
peace of mind and injure his pro-
fessional future. What you want to
do" said one OF his friends, is TO
syndicate yourself and let managing
director conduct your practice and
finance your money making POSSIBLE
tiles" This was actually done. O.
committee of friends paid off all his
debts, received all his income, gave
him large allowance and brought sys-
tenn into his accounts until he not
only was free from debts, but had
substantial investments in the funds.
