4 will be on the second day of the
 next month exactly seventy-eight
 years since the famous Monroe - Doctrine was defined in an annual message to Congress by the President. of which it is the embodiment, Is how ever. far anterior to that, for 1t goes back to the days of the first administration when Jefferson. Secretary of State in the cabinet of Washington, was endeavoring to solve the problem of the free naviga- tion of the Mississippi. Morse, in his Life of Jefferson, says on that old Mis- sissippi disputation, '1t is curious to note that In the course of this business there was already a faint foreshadowing of that principle. which many years after wards was called by the name of Monroe. For brief period it was thought not without reason, that so soon as hostili- ties should break out between England and Spain. the former power would seize upon the North American possessions of the latter. Jefferson wrote to Governor Morris: We wish you, therefore. to inti- mate to them dhe British ministry) that ' we cannot be indifferent to enterprises of this kind. That we should contemplate change of neighbors with extreme uneasness. That due balance on our borders Is not less desirable to us than a balance of power in Europe has al- ways appeared to them. MT. Morse Is not friedly biographer of Jefferson but in this respect at least he has done him simple justice.
 < This extract from the state papers of Jefferson proves that England was really the first European power to be notified as to the intentions of the republic with respect to the political future of the American hemisphere. It was the sowing of vigorous seed which years later came to blossom and ear when Monroe was President, George Canning. the foremost of English statesmen; Richard Rush, our minister at the court of St. James; the Spanish-American colonies in revolt against the mother country and the Holy Alliance planning and scheming to hell Spain reconquer them and strangle re- ,publicanism the world over.

fcred his hand to a charming girl at the Gaiety Theater popularly known as Miss Gladys. His mother inte=vened and res cued him.
 After that came the wooing of Edna May, Gertrude Elliott, Miss Pauline As- tor, daughter of W. w. Astor, and finally an engagement to Miss Joan Wilson. | Miss Wilson was an English beauty of the famous Tranby Croft family of Will sons. This match was broken off because | the Wilson's were not prepared to furnish a large dowry, and the Dowager Duchess declared that Duke "Kims' allowance was just sixteen shillngs a week.
 In despair the Duke then rushed off | to Paris and began an ardent courtship of the dazzling but somewhat passe Cleo de Merode the dancer. He opened an account with a jeweler and bought 5000 worth of jewelry which Cleo graciously accepted. She coyly promised to marry | him and when the news became known at the British Embassy some one sent word to the Dukes mother and grand mother. They proceeded post haste to Paris and took the Duke by force away from the object of his affections. | Cleo de Merode protested that she was heart-broken, although afterwards she said that she had "only considered the | Dukes proposal a complimentary one, such as she had had from the King of the Belgians."
 | By this time the Dukes finances had reached the last stage of a down grade. He confided to his chums that he would | have to marry an heiress or throw up the sponge
 | Meantime he thought seriously of talk ing to the stage, and went through a short career as a reporter for a New York newspaper.

1 at figure that rivals the weight of the most plebian baby in Kimbolton village. Lady Alice's layette is an etensive af- fair and nothing like 1t has been seen since the advent of the Duchess of Marl borough's first child. The outfit was the gift of the baby's grandmother. the Dow ager Duchess of Manchester. Although rumor had 1t that she was not entirely pleased with the wedding last year, the Dowager Duchess has become devotedly | attached to her daughter-in-law. Her 1 gifts to the young Duchess of late have been magnificent. For each check that she sends to her son she despatches one to her daughter-in-law as well.
 The layette for Lady Alice consisted of the daintiest linens and silks in London shops, exquisite little caps and sacques from Paris and lace made expressly by Brussels women lace-makers.
 | The babys grandmother. the Duchess of Devonshire. has sent a beautiful cradle lined with silk. richly embroidered with the Manchester coat-of-arms.
 Among the tenantry on Kimbolton es- tate there Is much rejoicing, and many quaint gifts have been sent up in token of the good will to Lady Alice.
 The christening Is to take place publicly | in St. Andrews church, and the Duke of Devonshire, who may be the next pre- mier of England, will probably be god father.
 From the servants hall stories filter out to Kimbolton folk of the delight that the young Duke takes In the new baby.
 "'Es like the rest of us folk, and ther's nought difference between Duke and poor man." they say.
 Kim" as they call Manchester there, insists upon holding the baby, and has given 1t as his opinion that Lady Alice recognizes him already.
 l loo Of ahar will go to Tanderagee Castle in Ireland, where the Duke and Duchess of Can naught (King Edwards brother) will be ! their guests for the fall shooting.
 It is said. that the Dowager Duchess of Manchester was surprised when Duke ''Kim's" invitation was accepted by roy alty. She wrote to her son: How ab- surd of you to think that the King brother would accept your invitation without your wife having first been pre- scented at court
 1 Nevertheless the invitation was ac- cepted through the influence of Lord and Lady Rossmore It is expecte now that when the young Duchess appears in the court set 1t will be with as much pres l tige as was accorded the Duchess of Marlborough a few years ago.
 MT. Zimmerman vibrates between Lon don and Kimboton Castle, and the prob | abilities are that he will settle a hand some dot upon the baby. A few days ago he advanced s50,0O0 in last payment which cleared the young Duke of debt and made him eligible to his seat in the House of Lords when Parliament meets.
 Kimbolton Castle now has a retinue of | forty servants, in contrast to the one cook and butler who have inhabited the place for number of years. They were sent down from London, and it is ru- mored that they were all selected and | paid by the Dowager Duchess.
 It Is said that the day previous to the departure of the Manchesters for Kim bolton, Croucher. the young Duchess s maid, was abruptly dismissed by a tel egram from Portman Square. It ran:

 the Cincinnati heiress It is said to have been a case of love at first sight.
 Miss Zimmerman was a blonde with fine reddish brown hair, deep blue eyes and a charming manner. Through her mothers family she is related to George Eliot.
 Within six weeks of the meeting the Duke had proposed and was accepted.
 Assured of MT. zimmerman's blessings for the young Duchess Is his only child the young couple came to the United States and toured the country in a pri- vate car on their wedding journey.
 About that time Portia Knight, Lon don actress. sued the Duke for breach of promise, and as a climax he was declared bankrupt and barred from Parliament.
 It Is believed that the Zimmerman mon ey, combined with sum from the Duch- ess of Devonshire, has smoothed over these difficulties and that from now on it will be plain sailing with the young Duke and Duchess.
 A Duchess of Character.
 As Miss Helen Zimmerman, the young Duchess of Manchester. displayed a firmness of character and an independence of judgment that augur well for the fu- | ture career of the couple. o- Her education was acquired, chiefly at a convent in Autell, France, where she was an especial favorite with the sisters. She was extremely devout. almost as- l cetic.
 She was an excellent student and re- ceived thorough grounding in literature, history and modern languages. Then she went to England under the chaperonage of her mothers sister. Miss Evans. and was introduced into the smartest set in London. 1 She was well liked by the Duchess oi Marlborough. whose influence is, oi course, of paramount value in social cir. | cles.

 Your services are no longer required. Please send your account" Croucher was formerly the maid of Mrs Howard Gould and had been with the young Duchess since her marriage. Papa Zimmerman. when informed of the affair by Croucher, who was furious. expressed mild surprise, but declined to interfere.
 The Duke Forced to Be Economical. Long experience with a spendthrift hus- band has made the older Duchess keenly aware of the value of money, and the story goes that Duke Kim who has been dependent upon her and his grand mother, the parsimonious Duchess of Devonshire, has not left an order with his London tailor for twelve months. | He Is showing disposition to settle down that grathes his mother and his American father-in-law. He has given up his old .haunts In London and Is rarely seen in public except in the company of the Duchess or his friend Arthur Peet. In 1892 the present Duke of Manches- ter came to the titlc-one of the oldest in England-and to estates so heavily en- cumbered as to render him practically a bankrupt. He started however upon the career of a man with millions to spend. In Paris and at Monte Carlo his face became as well known as in England. He gambled prodigally and began a series of engagements to actresses and of court ship of heiresses that has seldom been equalled. First he sued for the hand of Miss May Goelet, daugter of the late Ogden Goelet and possessing a dot of $10, 100000.
 q would rather see a daughter of mine dead than married to the young Duke of Manchester" said the sturdy American, who knew well the beautiful Consuelo Yznaga, the New York girl. and her unhappy life as Duchess of Man chester.

- ADY ALICE MoNTAGU is the
 title which the baby daughter of ILA the Duchess of Manchester, for @$ merly Miss Helen Zimmerman of Cincinnati. is to receive at her christ ening next week. The name was decided upon at a family conclave held shortly after the arrival of the little lady of Kimbolton Castle on October 27.
 Naturally gossip says that the young Duke had hoped for son, and in that event the heir would have been Lord Vaudeville. But If there Is any disap- polntment concerning the new baby of tho house of Manchester 1t is not appar- ent to the villagers.
 All day long on October 27 a. messenger from Kimbolton Parish church awaited news in the servants hall of the castle. Finally the young Duke himself-"Kim" |" as he is called by the old country fami- lies-came smillngly to announce that the stork had brought daughter.
 The messenger set out post haste for the church and for the rest of the day the chimes rang out merrily over the village. Twenty-four years ago they rang out to announce the birth of the p4esent Duke-the ninth Duke of Manchester.
 The day after Lady Alice's birth the whole village was en fete. The school children were given a holiday. and the Duke played cricket with the villagers in the public park.
 For many years no heir in the Man chester house has been anticipated more ns1n {. ried early in November last year. It was a romantic and secret wedding, cele- brated in the old Maryleborne Church, London
 Purely Love Match"
 When the facts became known the young Duke said to a World reporter: Please tell the American people that this is a love match There is no dot no dowry, and no marriage settlement
 A copy of this despatch was shown to Eugene Zimmerman, father of the bride. a Cincinnati capitalist, rated at $15,000, 000
 He smiled, drove to a telegraph office and cabled immediately: "Congratula- tions and blessings. Come home on a wedding trip"
 The Manchesters were accustomed to American duchesses, for the Duke s mother was the beautiful Consuelo Yzna- ga of New York, and they readily &C., cepted the American heiress.
 Kimbolton Hall, the ancient seat of the Manchesters and associated with the Montagues of Shakespeare, was opened for the Manchesters on October i.
 The young Duchess came with retinue of servants and nurses and there the baby was born. The little girl first opened her eyes in King Williams room, so- called from the fact that when William of Orange reigned that room in Kimbolton Hall was often occupied by him.
 She Is said by competent judges to be a most prepossessing infant with blue eyes, reddish brown hair and an extraor- dinarily good pair of lungs She is a sturdy little miss, too, tipping the beam

Engllsh Lgnoramce Res4ectsng
 zAe 1lon1oe Doctrine

England should issue a joint declaration announcing that. while the two govern ments desired for themselves no portion of the Spanish American colonies they would not view with inninerence any for eign intervention in their affairs, or their acquisition by third power. Monroe sent all the correspondence to Jefferson and his reply as to what he conceived, should be said and done formulated the policy that Monroe adopted.
 Now this is to a certain extent En- glish as well as American history. But the greater number of English writers and journalists get hopelessly at sea when they attempt to discuss 1t. The London Daily Telegraph, for instance, in a recent article on the subject. thinks that the South American republics are not disposed ito acknowledge the su- premacy" of the United States, and then comes to the sapiept conclusion that they would like annexation by any Eu- ropean. power still less.' The Monroe Doctrine does not contain a letter, sylla- bSe or word pretending to political su- premacy over the South American repub- lies. It would not have that supremacy If 1t could. The Monroe manifesto iB simply a notification to all whom it may concern that South America was not seventy eight years ago. and is not now a safe field of territorial exploitation for any European power or any combination of them. The old-world governments must be content with the African con- tinent and battle there for what they can get. They must, one and all. keep their hands off South America. That Is tie meaning of the Monroe Doctrine. 1t Is a hard lesson for them to learn, but the sooner they do 1t the better. The ob- servance of it by them will save trouble and keep them out of disastrous mischief making. As principle of American policy 1t will last while the Mississippi and the Amazon flow down to the sea-
