TITLES THAT WERE REFUSED.
GladstOne, Dickens, Verdi, Huxley and Tyndal Might Have Been
 Lords Had They Cared To.

While the majority of mankind seek titles with persistent industry, there are others who actually refuse to ac- cept the same. Gladstone was notable example of the latter order of humanity, for the peerage which time after time was held out to him was always rigidly rejected, says writer in Stray Stories.
 Swinburne might have had "Sir" before his name had he chosen to ac- cept the baronetcy which was offered him some years ago, but with true democratic independence he refused to accept a title which, after all, could do little to enhance his fame.
 Similarly, MT. Watts, R. A., whose pictures are known the wide world over, could have ranked with Lord Leighton had not he stoutly asserted his objection to titles and elected to remain as he was.
 Lord Tennyson, when first ap- preached on the question of accept ing peerage, was strongly opposed to the idea, but eventually suc- cumbed to the offer on the ground that his son would inherit the title, and that he was therefore justified in taking it.
 It is rumored that the late Prof. Huxley was offered knighthood by MT. Gladstone-an offer which was politely but firmly declined. A sim- liar honor was proposed to his dis tinguished contemporary, Prof. Tyn- dal, and was also declined without hesitation.
 It is an open secret that Charles Dickens might have added the word "bart'' to his illustrious name had he chosen to do so.
 A few years before the demise of Verdi the illustrious composer, the late King Humbert sent for the maestro and offered him dukedom in recognition of his services to mu. sic Verdi refused the gracious offer with dignified courtesy, whereupon the king admitted that he was quite right.
 For" said his majesty, "all the titles in Italy could not make you greater than you are"

CUP DEFENDER COLUMBIA were so close that Charlie Barr, who had the tiller aboard the American, could have tossed biscuit to Capt. Sycamore on the Shamrock. For miles as they beat their way to the outer mark the black shadow of Shamrock's huge club topsail was painted on the big mainsail of the Columbia, and for an hour, on the run home, with the yachts flying like scared deer before the following wind, they ran almost beam to beam, as if they had been harnessed to- gether.

End of the BOer War.

The Boer war which has been raging for the past two years, will soon be ended, ac- cording to the latest advices. News of peace will be hailed with joy by all. War is a ter rible thing and has slain many people, but we believe stomach troubles have slain even more. When the stomach is out of order, and you suffer from dyspepsia, indigestion, hatulency, sick headache or constipation, we would urge you to try Hostetter's Stoma oh Bitters. It will cure you.
