The Grit-advocate., 1903-07-31

Mr.. Chamberlain's attitude in the
matter, however, is said to be more
than mere conjecture and is regarded
with some amusement. Mr.. White is
very fond of Austin Chamberlain and
is said to be willing to use his diplo-
matte training in reconciling the elder
Chamberlain to the engagement.
Miss White, the reported fiancee OF
Mr.. Chamberlain, is one of the favor
ties of London society. She is q
charming young girl of genuine Amer
lean type, and since her coming out.
two years ago, has been greatly ad-
mired.
Mr.. Chamberlain. it is claimed, lost
his heart, hitherto considered invul-
nerable, to the American belle at their
very first meeting.

Great Turfman's Taciturnity.

J. B. Haggin, the noted hOrseman.
has raised some of the greatest racers
of which the American turf can boast,
but he has never been heard to yell
at the closest finish nor does he even
smile at victory. His record for taci-
turnity Is almost without parallel. 1t
being nothing unusual for him to go
through an entire day without saying
more than half dozen words. 1t Is
said that when close friend spoke
to him of this popularity Mr.. Haggin
made this reply, tremendously long
speech for him: 'Joyner. my trainer.
does enough hollering for both of u.s.
The Grit-advocate., 1903-07-31

No event has caused such a stir in
London society as the report that
Austin Chamberlain, son of the Colon
ial Secretary. had become engaged to
Miss Muriel White, daughter of the
secretary of the United States en-
bassy
Many of the English girls have
sighed for young Mr.. Chamberlain, as
he is still called though he is now
forty years old. and rumor has had
him engaged several times.
This time, however, he does not de.
ny it. While Joseph Chamberlain Is
said to be very much opposed to the
match, Austin Chamberlain claims
that he cannot see why he should not
follow his fathers example in marry
ing an American girl. and Mrs. Cham
berlain, who was Miss Endicott of
Massachusetts. is said to be inclined
to take her stepson's part.
If this is SO, then the chances of
Mr. Austin Chamberlain are quite
promising, for while "our Joe" is
known to be exceedingly stubborn,
1t is also well known that he invar-
iably follows his wifes advice in do
mestic affairs, though it has always
been his wish that his son should
marry into one of the great and veal
thy English families.

MRS. JoHNsoN,s CLEVER REPLY
Bright American Woman Crushed
Overforward EngIishman.


The death of Mrs. Harriet Lane
Johnson, who for many years was
prominent in social life in Washing
ton, recalls the crushing rebuke which
she administered to an overforward
Englishman. When living in London
with her uncle, James Buchanan, then
United States minister to the court
of st. James, she was seated at din
ner one evening when the lOrdling
complimented her upon the beauty OF
her hands. which were really remark
oble Miss Lane was rather bored by
the mans attentions. Finally he
quoted Gray's lines, Hands that the
rod of empire might have swayed."
and leaned back in his chair compla-

the line immediately following. Or

PLATT is PROUD OF RECORD.
Now York Senator Fully Conscious
of His Triumphs.

Senator Thomas C. Platt passed his
SEVENTEEN birthday last week. He
remained quietly in his hotel at Man
haitian Beach all day. :lt is rather
difficult" he said, "to find new ways
of celebrating birthdays when one has
had seventy of them" The senator
has held but four public offices, be-
ginning as clerk of Tioga county in
1858. In 1872 he was elected con-
gressman and eight years later was
appointed quarantine commissioner in
New York harbor. In 1881 he went to
the United States senate. In talking
of his political career on his birthday
he said grimly: Each time | serl-
ously thought of getting out of poll
tics somebody hit me. | concluded |
would not be driven out. Yes, the
list of graves of my political oppo
nents is a long and distinguished one.

sDiamond Jim" Brady.

James Brady, the well-known bridge
builder of New York, is an inveterate
theater-goer and is especially fond OF
patronizing roof gardens and similar
summer entertainments. Also ne mas
an extraordinary passion for dia-
monds, in displaying which he has
many sterling ideas. In addition to
a full assortment for fingers, shirt
cuffs and less exposed articles OF ap-
parel he carries beautiful stone in
the handle of his umbrella, another
in the ferule of his cane and several
finer than all on the handlebars or
his bicycle. To this fad he owes MS
nickname of Diamond jim Brady.

one knocked at the door,

the head with a cane, another held him
and pounded his head with a bottle, while

the two rushed him TO the airshaft, while
the other man stole some silverware from
