How ChanberISie Met Miss Endicott,
When Joseph Chamberlain came over
to the United States, one of the objects
OF his visit was to find out what kind
OF a girl Miss Mary Endlcott, his pres
ent wife, was. His son, Austin Cham
berlaln, had met her In Europe, fell
very much in love with her and asked
his fathers consent to address her
The old gentleman was somewhat cha
ry of American wives for English gen
tlemen.
Before giving his consent he conclud-
ed to meet the lady in person aud In
vestigate herself and family. A night
or two after his arrival in this country
there was a BAH at the British em-
bassy.
Mr. Endicott then MIR Cleveland's
secretary of war; and his daughter
were among the guests. Mr.. Chamber
lain particularly noticed stately aud
beautiful girl whose unaffected dignity
greatly pleased him. He asked to be
presented. TO his surprise and gratlh-
cation he was introduced to Miss EN-
dicott. During the entire evening he
paid her assiduous attention. The next
day he called at her fathers residence
He soon became satisfied as to the So
cial status of the Endicotts. He finally
succumbed to the charm of the fair
girl and instead Of sanctionlng Aus
tins suit addressed her himself and
presented a handsome young stepmoth-
er instead of prospective fiancee to
the waiting young lover. Austin Cham
berlain accepted the inevitable and is
said TO be respectfully devoted to his
stepmother.- Philadelphia Press.

Henry CIews; Some attention has
been given to the remarkable expansion
of loans during the past few weeks As
these are out of all proportion to ordi-
nary mercantile demands the only con-
clusion is that these loans mean prepar-
atoms for important financial operations
of some kind. Just what these are it is
impossible to say. There are abundant
rumors of important deals in contem-
plation, but nothing definite has yet
been made public. No doubt much of
the confidence with which stocks are
held at first hands is due to inside
knowledge of what is going on. The
outlook, however, is for easy money I'M
til preparations are in order for the
April settlements. Those who are fin
ancing these deals are not likely to per-
NIT any serious disturbance in the mon
sV market.
