Club Stewards Named By State.

Frances Jockey Club, which is a very
exclusive and aristoCrattc organization,
and which has remained singularIy free
from scandal since its foundation by the
late Duke of Orleans, Lord Henri. Sey-
mouT, etc, some seventy years ago. has
always kept its doors vigorously closed
against certain individuals on the French
turf. whose methods both on the course
and in private life the club does not
approve.
Prominent among the race horse own
ers thus ostracised is Edmund Blanc. the
principal owner of the famous gambling
hell at Monte Carlo, and who on several
occasions has been almost Iynched on
French race courses by the public in
connection with charges OF unfair run
ming Of his horses. Blanc has. how
ever. great political influence. which he
has brought to bear upon the govern
ment, which has now called upon the
Jockey Club TO appoint him and two
other race-hoTse owners, similarly os-
traCized, as stewards under the penalty
of being deprived Of several privileges
now accorded by the state in recog-
milton of the services of the club in
improving the horse breeding industry

An Engagement of Interest Here.

Of all contemporary English statesmen
there is not one who is so well known
on this side of the Atlantic as Lord
Rosebery. He has repeatedly visited
this country, and nowhere in England
have distinguished Americans found a
more cordial welcome than beneath his
roof
The news OF the engagement Of his
eldest and only unmarried daughter
Lady sybn Primrose. possesses therefore
q certain interest for his many friends
here. the more so as she has been her
fathers constant companion and the
mistress of his various establishments
ever since she grew up. Slight and dark
in appearance. she resembles her father
less than her sister. Lady Peggy, now
Countess Of Crewe. is very accomplished
speaking German, according TO the late
Prince bismarck. better than any other
English woman ne had metz. and was a
rar-{cl1Iar favorite OF the late Queen
Victoria. who accorded to her the some
what rare honor Of a private presenta-
ton. and offered her a post OF maid OF
honor which was. however, declined.
LADY svbfTg prospective husband is a
young officer Of the ColdstTeam Guards
Of the name Of Charles Grant, the son Of
a distinguished general. and was severely
wounded during the recent war at the
battle Of the Modder River, in which bat
tie. indeed, he lost his brother. under
stand that he is not particularly well OF.
But Lady SybiI is already rich in her own
right. and will be still wealthier at her
fathers death. as her mother, Miss Han
nah RothschiId. was the richest Of all the
women Of the great financial dynasty Of
that name.

Suspension Proves Costly.

suspension OF English members of
parliament by order of the speaker or
by the vote OF the house means merely
an exclusion from any participation in
the parliamentary debates for a stated
time. In France and in other CONT
mental countries where parliamentary
forms Of government prevail, the sus-
pension Of a legislator by the presiding
officer of the chamber means a great
deal more. For it entails the docking Of
his pay, the temporary deprivation OF
all such privileges as the travelling free
Of cost on The state railroads. etc, and
likewise the payment of the placarding
of his constituency with huge posters set
ting forth his offense and its punish
ment at full length. The consequence of
this is that in the French chamber at
any rate the only legislators who incur
suspension and It's accompanying penal
ties are those members of the sO-called
Rights. who, being rich territorial mag
mates, can readily afford to dispense
with their legislative salary and per-
duisites.

SECRETARY TO THE PEOPLE,"
A Title Specially Suited to George B. corteIyou.

Il is an interesting coincidence that
the Office which received increased dig
nity and influence under President CIeYe-
land is now filled by a man whom he
called to the White House. Mr. Cleve-
land has himself referred to Mr.. Cor
telyou as a good example OF the results
OF the merit system. From q very
subordinate position in the civil service
he has been promoted, merely upon the
recommendation of his own efficiency. to
places Of higher and greater response
biIity There has been no political In
4uence. Mr. Cleveland summoned him
from the service of a department re-
luctant TO part with him. and two Presi-
dents OF the other party have kept him
and further advanced him. Now he
holds the highest and most important
clerical position In the country The
correspondence Of a nation passes aCross
his desk TO ana from its chief.
But. as has been already suggested. his
duties are not merely and passively
clerical. Re partakes. in his personality
and Office. of all the active functions Of
the Executive. IN President Mckinley 8
Administration he seemed as one lobe Of
his brain, so devoted was he te all the
objects of the Presidents devotion, so
accurately did he know and express the
Presidents feeling and purpose. When
the President was stricken. he seemed TO
occupy in his own person the place
which his chief had shared with him. It
was unquestionably his own -rave. IN
selfish, thoughtful spirit that, above all
others. directed affairs IN the days be
tween the wounding and the death Of
the President. Constitutionally. there
was no fnterregnum, but If the actual
conditions could have record. Mr. Cor
telyous name might well appear be-
tween those OF President MCKINLEY and
President Roosevelt.

Possibly no woman in this country has
passed a more eventful life than Jessie
Benton Fremont, who was an acknowI-
edged belle of the old regime. Inherit
ing both beauty and intellect from long
line of inustrious ancestors, she has ever
moved with distinctive grace among the
many famous men and women of her
time whom she met both in America and
in the Old World
During the early days OF this country
the President, Cabinet officers and DiDio-
matte Corps lived permanently at the
CaDftal and. as the daughter OF Thomas
n Benton. who was for thirty years in
the United States Senate, she had the
opportunity Of making her earliest
friendships with men and women of cul-
tire and position. and she learned when
very young the gracious use OF power
possessed by a beautiful and accomplish
ed woman.
Very few women are living who can re-
call vivid memories OF the days when
we as Government were just entering
the society of nations
At this perlou Jessie beAIoH Was Jtat
entering fashionable society Her debut
was really made when she was fourteen,
for at this time she was chosen one Of
the eight bridesmaids for the wedding
of the elderly Russian ambassador,
Count BodisCo. Count B0disco's bride,
who was only sixteen. was. with Jessie
Benton. being educated at the George

ing school near Washington, where many
