Ihere is another Imperial question which. un-

oI imperial defence which has been raised in
South Africa When the campaign opened a

there was no disposition to profit by them If

see the clear cut features of an old man, looking
out on the city's ceaseless activity from the
quiet OF his room After a little while the shut
ters close and the face is gone.
The old man at the window is William Max
well Evarts, and the house has now become
practically his only world The man who has
been Attorney-CeneTal Of the United States,
Secretary of State and United States Senator
has now confined his waning activities within
the walls of his own house.
Mr.. Evarts was elghty-twO years old on FebTu-
ary 8 last. Il has come to be known through
The relatives and friends of the great lawyer
that his advanced age has made II impossible
for him to 60 his summer home, at Windsor,

has even confined him TO his bed at times. but
again he has found himself strong enough TO
go from room 10 room.
His mind IS said 10 have retained its clear
ness and acuteness. Even now he is as much
interested IN the law, did his physical strength
permit him to engage in its practice, as in the
days when he defended the interests OF the
United States before the tribunal OF arbitration
at Geneva, which met 10 settle the Alabama
claims Although he is longer able TO take
an active part in the business OF his frTn, his
associates are proud to retain his name at the
