 T do not believe that Mir. Henrichs can accept the nomination The first man that I met after the newspapers had published the news of the proposed in- dorsement of me by the democratic party and my statement of the unconditional terms upon which I could accept, was Frederick w. Henrichs. He thought that I was right and his very expression and opinion was precisely the same as mine.
 "In view of that conversation. 1 do not believe that Mir. Henrichs will feel that he can accept tpe nomination."

 As though inspired by the knowledge that the practical collapse and breakup of the unionist party left him in sole pos session of the field, he spoke with more than his customary energy and per- suasiveness, lacking nothing in lucidity, either of phrase or argument, while his appeal to the working classes, upon whom more than any section of the community, especially since the detection of the Duke of Devonshire from the unionist admins tration, the success or failure of his pre-

London, October 1.-The morning papers devote ample space both to the reports and their comment on MT. Chamberlain's great effort at Glasgow, but 1t cannot be said that the public will gain much en- lightenment except from the late colonial secretary's own words.
 Conversion to his views appear as dis tant as ever from the columns which have hitherto been opposed to him. All recog- nlze the ability of his presentation of his scheme and his most rabld opponents. the radical Daily News, admits that MT. Chamberlain sincerely believes that the colonies will secede unless a preferential scheme is adopted, and adds that this extraordinary belief implies a melancholy confession of the failure of his boasted drawing of the colonies closer to the mother during his colonial secretaryship For the rest the Daily News regards hls campaign as a peril to the empire.

A middle.aged woman in one of
the large cities in Ohio is making a
comfortable living for her mother,
brother and herself. Her husband,
who died one year ago, was in the
insurance business. His health
failed, and she took up his work,
which kept her away from home all
day collecting, doing her house
work in the evening for about three
years. After his death her mother
and brother came to live with her.
She has been rewarded several
times by the company for making
a better showing in soliciting new
business than the men.
