A Wonderful Old Lady.

Lord Rosebery's mother, the duch-
ess of Cleveland. is a wonderful old
lady. Though she is in her eighty
first year she is full of energy and is
a delightful companion. The Lon
don King mentions, as an illustration
of her activity, that she did not in
dulge her love for travel until she
was over 20 years of age, and since
then she has made many a journey,
including a tour to India, the West
Indies and British South Africa. The
duchess was married to the late duke
of Cleveland in 1854, three years after
the death of Lord Dalmeny, Lord
RoseberV's father.

"A fortnight of tho steel strike has

Exceptional activity Is noticed at the

the movement of structural material
