ANOTHER INTERNATIONAL EN-
GAGEMENT.

According to dispatches an interest
ing little romance has been in progress
on Cumberland Island during the past
week or two. The lady in the case
is Miss Alice Thaw, and the man, the
Earl of Yarmouth. Miss Thaw's resi-
dence at present is in Washington, d.
c., but her home is in Pittsburg. Her
brother met the Earl of Yarmouth in
Europe some months ago and they
came to New York together. The Earl
was not stranger to New York, how
ever, having come to this country
three years ago for the purpose of
acquiring a fortune. He is said to
have none of his own. His title, how
ever is one of the Oldest in England
Miss Thaw has a fortune in her own
right of $1O00,000 or more and her
mother is worth about $40, 00O,O 00 1t
is evident therefore that she is al
ready well provided with this worlds
goods, and will be even better pro-
vided with them if she outlives her
mother.
Miss Thaw went to Cumberland ISL
and a week or so ago to visit her sis
ter, Mrs. G. l.. Carnegie, and it is
said that the Earl of Yarmouth fol-
lowed her. And now the announce
ment of the engagement has been pub
lished. Doubtless the Earl proved to
be a very ardent wooer.
AS a rule these international mar
riages have not turned out happily,
particularly those in which the Ameri-
can wife supplied all the money. The
Earl of Yarmouth may prove to be a
! better husband than most other for
eigners who have obtained fortunes by
marrying American heiresses, but there
is no particular reason why he should.
He is well known in theatrical circles
in New York, having, so it is said in
the New York papers, played several
engagements in that city.
1t is a pity that Miss Thaw selected
an English lord instead of an Ameri-
can gentleman for a husband. The
chances are that she would have more
happiness if she married and settled
i'm this country.

There is a considerable list of illus
trious persons who have been content
with the simplest pleasures of the ta-
BILE. says the London Chronicle. 1t was
not thought undignified at Windsor in
Queen Victorias time to serve apple
tart for luncheon, or the. homeliest pud-
ding. The apple tart was served on
silver plate, but it remained apple tart
for a that. In India, however, such
unaffected dainties do not harmonic
with viceregal splendor. 1t is related
that the viceroy's eye lighted one day
upon a dish at which he gazed for a
moment with incredulity. What is
this?" he demanded at last. A trem-
bling retainer gasped that it was rice
pudding. No less a parsonage than the
viceroy's consort had ordered the hum
BILE pudding which eminent statesmen
may be seen eating at their clubs with
undisguised enjoyment any day of the
parliamentary session. But the vice
roy frowned. Take it away" he, said.
Never let me see such thing again"
This is how the Orient differs from the
Occident. Rice pudding might have
ruined the dignity of the vicerega1 ia

Thought 1t a sIur om>fIntt.

Senator Thomas c. Plat and a
friend entered a New street restau-
rant at lunch time, and as the Sena-
tor climbed on a stool stranger bus
tied in, took a seat alongside, and
gazed at the array of edibles and then
at the menu, as if in doubt what TO
order, says the New York Times.
Then he glanced at the Senator, who
was being served with some prunes.
The dish seemed to appeal to him, and
addressing himself to the waiter, he
remarked, me too" indicating Mr..
Platt's choice.
The Senator's companion resented
the remark as an insult, and threaten
ed, figuratively to knock all the
prunes OUT of the newcomer. advance
ing to carr/out his threat. The strang-
err was astonished, and explanations
alone prevented trouble.
Senator Platt, who evidently realiz-
ed that the stranger meant no offense,
almost suffered undesirable notoriety
by the sycophancy of his youthful
companion.

A NEW PENSION COMMISSIONER.

1t seems that Mr.. Ware, the Kansas
man who was appointed Commissioner
of Pensions not very long ago, does
not give satisfaction, and is going to
be succeeded by Powell Clayton. Mr..
Clayton is at present ambassador to
Mexico. He is a Northern man who
settled in Arkansas Immediately after
the close of the war. He has since
taken a prominent part in politics in
that state. He was particularly prom
inent during the carpet-bag period.
1t is given out that one of the rea-
sons why the President has selected
Mr.. Clayton for the office is that he
thinks the appointment will strengthen
him in the South. OF course this means
that 1t will help him to get delegates
to the Republican National Convention.
If it be true that the President is anx-
ious to popularize himself with the
Republicans of the South he must be
afraid that Senator Hanna is planning
to capture the nomination.
1t is doubtful if Mr.. Clayton has any
influence outside of the Republican
party in Arkansas. He is known by
Southern Republicans generally, both
white and black, but his influence with
them beyond his state must be very
limited
Pension Commissioner Ware, it
seems, is unable to get along with the
Secretary of the Interior, whose sub
ordinate he is. Probably the President
wanted Mr.. Wares resignation or a
way would have been found to har-
monte the differences between the
Commissioner and the Secretary.
The probabilities are that Commits
sioner Ware hasn't interpreted thu
pension laws literally enough to suit
the pension attorneys. There has been
some complaint of him in that regard
Perhaps Mr.. Clayton, knowing what
the complaint against Commissioner.

the powers that be in the same way

nature at a secret session. The secret
session is the senatorial megaphone."

Silent and uncommunicative, Senator
Quay therein illustrates a characteris-
tic OF the red man. and among the red
men he has some very firm friendships.
says the Washington Post. Near his
lodge in Florida there is an unconouer-
ed remnant of the Seminoles between
whom and the Pennsylvania senator
lnere mas sprung up a warm intimacy.
A white man once upon a time. since
the senator began to rusticate in Flor
IDA, wantonly and maliciously killed
enc OF these Indians and there was no
disposition in the community to pros
ecute him. Mr.. Quay put detectives on
his trail and spent $1,000 before the
offender was landed in the peniten-
tiary. On another occasion he sent one
of the unconquered Seminoles. who
was suffering from a cancer, to a hos
pltai at Jacksonville and kept him
there, paying all bills for a year.
The chief of those Indians was a
man of great dignity and Character.
just before starting on a trip to the
sunny lands Senator Quay purchased
a beautiful silver-mounted rifle. in

his surprise refused to accept il.
Il cannot take any gifts from white
men," was the big chiefs gruff reply.
But it is present l brought you. :"
rejoined the senator.
II will buy it," said the chief.
II am not selling rifles" replied Mr..
Quay, II want TO give this to you"
The upshot Of the parley was that
the chief refused. but later brought
around young Indian buck. TO whom
the chief wished the rife might be

REPUBLICANS AFRAID OF PAR

The signs are increa sing that the
! leaders of the Republican party don't
want Judge Alton B. Parker nominated
! for President by the Democrats. one
of the strongest of the Repu blican pa
pers, the New York Press, says that
the Parker movement is supported by
the trusts. In an editorial article a
day or two ago it made the following
| assertion: The Parker boom for Pres
ident is being pushed along by trust
influences, which have set out to cap
ture the fragments of the Democratic
party, having failed to get their
! clutches on the Republican party I'M
der the leadership of President Roose-
Welt"
The purpose of articles of this sort
is plain. The Republicans regard with
alarm the possibility of the nomination
of Judge Parker. They haven't any
evidence that trust influences are be-
hind the Parker boom, but it suits
| their purpose to say that such influ-
ences are behind it, because they don't
want the Democrats to nominate him.
The election of President may turn on
New York, and they know that Judge
Parker would have an excellent chance
of carrying that state.
Neither Judge Parker nor his friends
are disturbed by the efforts of the Re-
publicans to destroy the Parker boom.
Judge Parker himself is pursuing a
very conservative course. He is not
showing any desire for the nomination,
and is making no effort to get it. In
his letter to the Mayor of Chattanoo-
ga, declining an invitation to a BAN
quet in his honor in that city, he said:
Il must frankly say to you that it does
not seem, in view of recent discussions,
as if it would be possible for me to
visit you there without creating an
impression in the public mind that it
would be in furtherance of my polit-
ical preferment. l am not willing to
take any action which will in any wise
warrant such a suggestion" Further
along in his letter he says that it has
always been his view that a judge
should not seek for political honors,
however exalted they may be.
Judge Parker is not the candidate of
the trusts and he is not seeking the
nomination for President. 1t is evil
dent that he isn't going to say any
thing that can be construed as being
an announcement that he is a candi-
date for the presidential nomination of
his party. If he is nominated it will
be without any effort on his part, and
it is certain that he will stand a bet
ter chance for getting the nomination
by saying nothing than by talking. II
he should talk, particularly on polit-
ical subjects, he would offend, in all
probability, one wing or the other of
his party 1t is of the utmost impor-
lance that there shall be harmony in
his party, because without it the chance
for it to win in the presidential con-
test would be very slender. Indeed,
it is doubtful If it could win at all.
Mr. Bryan's idea that the Democratic
party is to be made strong enough to
win the control of the government by
making converts of Republicans is not
worth considering. Republican Vot-
ers may be won to the Democratic
standard, but the Democratic party, to
be successful, must be united. Its two
factions must forget their differences
and act in harmony

BAIL REFUSED.

! The refusal by Justice Pope to admit
James II. Tillman. held for the murder
of Editor Gonzales in Columbia, S. c.,
to bail will tell against the accused
man at the trial. The refusal is prac-
/ tically an announcement from the
bench that the case against Mr.. Till
man is a strong one.
IT is evident that the case is going
to be vigorously prosecuted as we'll as
strongly defended. The hearing of the
application for bail leaves no room for
| doubt that the trial is going to be a no
table one. 1t is evidently the purpose
of Mr.. Tillman to make as much as pos
sible out of Mr.. Gonzales attacks upon
him in his newspaper. At the inquest,
from the character of the evidence in
! troduced by the defence, it was thought
that the main reliance would be upon
the alleged belief of Mr.. Tillman that
Mr.. Gonzales was prepared to shoot
him on sight. 1t now looks as if the
main reliance would be upon the bitter
and long continued attacks made upon
the accused man.
1t will be difficult to get jury, the
facts of the case having been so wide
ly published and so generally comment
ed upon. Perhaps the great majority
of the citizens of Columbia. and of
the county in which Columbia is sit
uated, have made up their minds in re-
gard to the case. 1t is probable that
Mr.. Tillman is greatly disappointed in
the result of his application for bail.
Had he not felt practically certain that
it would be granted it would not have
been made. His attorneys understand
that the refusal of bail does not help
his side of the case.
