Personal NOTES.

Edward Everett Hale is remarkably for
tunate in having lived long enough to Sc
cure the honors which are usually given
p~osthumously.
General Stewart L. Woodford, former
minister to Spain, started Saturday evening
for a tour to the Orient by way of Montreal
and Vancouver.
Mrs. McKinley's condition remains about
the same. She goes out driving frequently
and visits the cemetery every day that the
weather will permit.
Miss Stone is on her way home, and II
will be strange il the talented American
reporters do not wiring from her the hlth-
erto guarded secrets of her prison house.
Former Chief Justice Benjamin Frank
lin Graves, the only survivor of Michigan's
great t%ribunal, will be rendered a banquet
in Detroit by the Bar association Of that
city.
General S. b. Buckner has presented Mum
fordville, Ky, with water works, and his
son-in-law, Colonel Morris B. Belknap, has
given the city a marble fountain made in
Florence, Italy.
Frank Sargent, who has been appointed
commissioner general of immigration by
the president, held, as his first position
"Abh " III u IoAlpdhgB lhdt W GukllS
wiper at Phoenix.-Ariz.
Mrs. U. S. Grant has been shown the de-
signs submitted for the Grant memorial, six

Winthrop and not George Washington was
the first person to receive from Harvard

Angina pectoris, from which Cecil Rhodes
suffered, is a disease Of great men. 1t car
ried off Matthew Arnold. 1t killed Lord
Clarendon, DIR. Chalmers, John Leech, DR..
John Hunter, the famous physician; Thor
waldsen, the sculptor, and Sumner, the
American statesman. II seems to have a
prediction for those in whom there is a
high development of the nervous system.
In the early days Of the South African
war the representative Of an Australian
paper was MORALLY wounded in an engage
ment and two of his comrades entered the
Boer lines in search of him. They were
blindfolded and taken to the tent OF Gen.
eral Delarey, whom they found sitting on

potatoes. The venerable leader gave them
every assistance in his power.
The passing OF Senator James X. Jones
from the senatorial arena occasions consid-
cradle regret among his colleagues. His
retirement from office, II is hoped. will not
still his mellow voice entirely. Mr.. Jones'
marvellous proficiency as a political prophet
in presidential campaigns contributed so
much gaiety to the last two contests that
the country cannot spare him from the
megaphone. Without Jones a presidential
campaign would be as solemn as a funeral
procession.
Robert B. Armstrong, who has been ap-
pointed private secretary to Secretary
Shaw, is an Iowa man, who had been in
the newspaper business in that state for
several years prior to 1896, when he went
to Chicago as political writer on the Chi
cago Record. In 1898 he was sent east
as the New York representative of that
paper, and a year ago. after a short Euro
pean tour, he accepted his present posi-
ton. Mr.. Armstrong had known Governor
Shaw, and has been in a measure identi-
fed with the governors political fortunes.
