MRS. GLADSTONE.

Mrs. Gladstones manner was full OF
grace and charm The genuine anna
bility of a completely unspoiled nature
| showed itself in every word and look
| Hope-Scott has left 1t on record that SHE
was potent canvasser, and no one en-
| tered more naturally into the frolics of
| the young or the little interests of the
| poor. But she was also essentially
grand dame" Her walk and bearing
as she passed the royal presence at the
| draWing-room were long the admira ton
| of those whose duty obliged them to
stand by the throne or in the general
| circue;" and in her habits, manners and
| style of speech she was a great lady of
| the old school. This quality gave a Pc
culiar effectiveness to her dealings with
pertness, forWardness or undue famil-
iarity; and when she thought it her
duty to administer a snub. no one
snubbed so aptly. 1t was impossible
for the subject not to feel the process,
and equally impossible for him Cor herr
to rebel against it. But these exercises
of social discipline we've rare; and for
the rest Mrs. Gladstone diffused genial
ity, good temper and cheerfulness
wherever she went.
Few women of her generation had so
wide a circle Of attached friends she
was an interchangeable, Ietter-writer, and
her correspondence, accumlllat ted
through sixty years, contained letters of
the highest interest from the most ia
nous personages, royal, political and
ecclesiastical, of the present reing. But
it was in the home that she excelled.
She had been devoted daughter and
sister; she was to the last an exempla-
ry mother and head Of a family; and
when we think of what she was as a
wife, Mr.. Gladstone's words about the
queens marriage may. with perfect ex-
actness, be applied to his own: Even
among happy marriages, it was excep-
tionol; so nearly did tho union Of
thought, heart and action both fulfil
the ideal and bring duality near to the
borders of identity" rom the earliest
days of their married life Mrs Glad
stone made her husbands health not
always so robust as in later years. her
prime care; and her skill and watchful-
ness in this regard drew from him the
characteristic compliment: MY wife is
no inconsiderable physician" An even
more valuable contribution to his hap
piness (f not to his success) was the
sedulous care with which she warded off
whatever might tend to disturb the
vulnerable temper and impetuous
moods" which, forty years ago, he ack-
as his own. Their married

London, July 13.--In the house Of
commons to-day, replying to questions
ON the subject, the parliamentary sec
rotary of the foreign office, William St.
John Brodrick, said that little news had
been received from China. The govern
ment. he explained, had been unable to
communicate with the British naval Of
ficerS in China, as the land lines be-
tween Che Foo and Shanghai had been
cut. A dispatch purpoting to have been
sent from the emperor Of China to the
British government was received yes
terday, but the secretary said that he
was unable to promise to make it's con-
tents known.

TO GET MESSAGE TO PEKIN
CHINESE MINISTER At WASHING
TON UNDERTAKE THE TASK.
Making Every Effort to Get n Reply
From Mintstcr Conger-state DEPART
ment Officials Observation-Disclosures for
Nz..v, f,r.,.u III Gervic.

Washington, July 13.-The Chinese
minister Mr.. WI Ting Fang has un'
dertaken to transmit a cipher cable
message from Secretary Hay to United
States Minister Conger at Pekin, and
to have the answer brought back If
Mr. Conger is alive.
The message was prepared by Secre-
tary Hay and it's contents are I'M
known to any one but him. 1t has been
sent to Shanghai with explicit instruc-
tons from Minister WI to spare no
efforts or expense to get it into the
hands of Mr.. Conger.
Mr.. WI Ting Fang forwarded the
cipher dispatch, together with an ex-
tended explanatory message of his
own on Wednesday, and the results are
now being eagerly awaited both by Sec
rotary Hay and the Chinese minister,
although it is appreciated that some
days must elapse before runners can
carry out this plan of opening up COM
munication between the American gov
eminent at Washington and the Amer
lean minister at Pekin.
1t was soon after Minister WI pre-
scented the text of the edict issued by
the Chinese imperial government, that
Mr.. Hay requested him to get through
q message to Minister Conger. Since
the Chinese government had succeeded
In getting through it's own communica-
ton from Pekin, Mr. Hay felt that it
was quite reasonable to ask that like
communication be opened between our
minister and the government here. Mr..
WI readily assented to this proposition,
and evinced an earnest desire to use all
his personal and official influence in
getting through the messages.
State department officials, however,
now regard this as a forlorn hope. The
brief cable dispatch received to-day
from Consul General Go0dnow at
Shanghai announcing the beginning of
the Anal attack on the legations at
Pekin, was dsheartening to the officials
here All along they have suspected
that the various communications re-
ceived from Chinese sources in Shang-
hal have been sent to prepare the way
for the announcement of the extermina-
tion of the foreign ministers and their
wives, children, attaches, dependents,
and guards.
The state department has come to
place high estimate on Mr., Goodnow's
advices. It appreciates the fact that he
does not send every piece of unreliable
gossip afioat in the sensational news
center where he is stationed, but uses
good judgment in sitting out the prob
able from the other kind of news More

In art the great discovery and invention
of the nineteenth century was photogra-
ply. Three great extensions of this dis
eovery was the discovery of the X-rays,
photographing through solids, and the ap-
plicatlon of photography to astronomy
and physiology, and the engraving of
photographs by acid etching. Few per-
sons realize what photography has done
for all of us. Catching and holding the
image of the loved one is much-more,
perhapS-than any of Us realize; but this
precious gift which photography has
given us is personal in character, and ii
is in the wider fields of life that the
great value of this art, which compile
mentS printing, is best realized. 1t fur
nishes the meteorological the physicist
and the biologist with self-registering in

By the aid of photography stars are
shown which no telescope that has been
or that probably ever will be construct
ed can render visible to the human eye.
1t has proved one of the greatest eduea-
tors of the century and in connection W tn
