WOMAN WHO RULES INDIA.
Some Qualities Of Lady Curzon, a
Chicago Girl.

TO the ina gination it is a far step
from the shores of Lake Michigan TO
the tributaries of the sacred GangeS,
but Lady Curzon has. made it, and to
those who know her i does not seem
extraordinary. AS everybody knows,
Chicago girls are always clever, and
very often beautiful. Mary Victoria
Letter happens to be both. and to have
rich father besides. This is com
binaton which certainly makes for
success. Though Chicago was her
| birthplace it had no great hand in
her education. When she was Is
years old her parents moved TO Vas
ington, and there she attended pri-
vate school. But most of her instruc-
ton was given at homo by private
teachers. Many of her holidays when
she was little were spen- at the Lett
ers summer home on Lake Geneva
She loved music, and at one time in
her girlhood lived in New York aa:d
worked with music masters, besides
going great deal into New y DIRK So
ciety. But her chief society expert
ence was in Washington. DlrinS The
two Cleveland admits att ons She
was very popular there.
With all this very Cosmopolitan
training behind her, with a thorough
knowledge of French and German,
and with exceptional beauty. 1t is
easy to understand tint she made a
sensation when she was first present
ed at the Court of St James in 1894
During the season sae met young
man named George Nathaniel CurZon-
He was a member Of Parliament,
man of talent, of position. OF wealth
and of great ambition. He promptly
fell in love with Miss Letter, and in
1895 they were married. .
Before their honeymoon wos over
there was general election in Eng
land. In that country the wives of
politicians take as great hand IN
the campaigns of their husbands IS
1.-THE men themselves. They attend
hustings, they make ho'se-to-house
/ canvasses. Although it was new, Mrs
Curzon set out to lie help to her
husband. and he was reelected To
Parliament. Under LORD Salisbury he
took a seat in the Cabinet; III 1o:S
he was offered the GOvernCr-G eneral-
ship of India and d month following
his appointment he was raised 20 the
peerage and became Baron Clr1oi :,f
KedleStOn DiSgrunl ie Il Liberals said
that his rise was due more to Mrs Cur
Zon than to himself, n.,l if a man has
sense enough to choose a clever wo-
man for wife that does not seer to
be a reason for pointing the finger
OF scorn at him.-Arril Noman's

air and balny ocean breezes can cer- tainly be suited at the Three Ems. No matter how hot it may be in town it is delightfully."- cool on the immense porch as large as the deck of an ocean steamer" of the hotel, while the three beautiful elms in the center of the porch afford grateful shade as well as charm the eyes of the beholders with their beauty and symmetry.
 Another characteristic of that house is it's congenial company and the ab- sence of discordant elements. There is an air of refinement which pervades the entire establishment. As consequence it's reputation in this regard has grown from year to year. and many people who are included among the wealthiest in this and other states make it their summer home. Connected with the house are a number of cottages which are always used as the season advances, and the rooms of the house are all taken. Mention should be made of the facilities for boating and fishing; also bathing, driving and golf. Indeed, there is nothing lacking in the qualities which combine to make the Three Films an ideal summer resort.

 late in the evening. This made busi- ness for the hotels and restaurants. and shore dinners were exceptionally popu- lar.
 With all the riding of the day there were no accidents of any importance. This is an exceptional record and re- fleets much credit on the officials of the trolley road and the employees of the company for the careful way in which it look out for the welfare of it's patrons.
 Several excursions came into and went out of the city on steamers. The largest was one brought in on the Richard Peck fro mNew York. There was special feature in connection with this excursion. The company sold tick cts to as many passengers as desired for twenty-five cents and then provided these with special cars and carried them past most of the points of interest an dimportance in the city. Each car was accompanied by a guide and he with megaphone explained the many places along the route. This feature will be maintained during the rest of the summer season, and it will doubt less prove a profitable and pleasant ad- dition to the Sunday excursion business into New Haven.
 The temperature yesterday was the doubtful if the same or greater will be attained at any time during the com- ing months.

 Old Sol and his scorching rays was abroad yesterday and in consequence the residents of New Haven sweltered for all the hours of the day and even until almost midnight. Nearly every known device to relieve the community from the terrible heat was brought into use and still there was an exceptional amount of suffering. Thousands sought the shore resorts as places of cooler temperature, but they found little change The sea breezes were few and far between and a ride on the trolley cars seemed productive of more hot air than cool.
 Bathing was more popular yesterday than any day thus far this summer and the bath houses were working over time in the rush to accommodate every one who desired to dip in the briny deep. The trolley cars carried thou sands to all the shores and many went in tn emorning and did not return till

T was in such low state that had Ito give up my wirk entirely and go to Ethe mountains of this state, but two |months there did not improve me; in fact l was not quite as well as when l left home. My food absolutely refused Ito sustain me and it became plain that I must change, then I began to use }Grape-Nuts food and in two weeks l |could walk mile without the least fa- Eigue and in five weeks returned to my home and practice, taking up hard work again.

 tory:
 New Haven. June A, 1904. At a regular meeting of Harmony di- vision No. 5, s. of T., held Thursday ev- ening, June 23, the following resolu- tions were unanimously adopted.
 Whereas, Certain items have appear ed in the public prints, and have also been referred to in an uncharitable manner by a clergyman of this city, which reflect upon the work and char acter of our honored grand worthy pat riarch, George R. Bill, and which upon inquiry and investigation prove to be grossly exaggerated and wrong in near ly all features. Cine alleged expulsion of an intoxicted man and his subse- quent arrest, not having occurred at Brotheer Bills instance, his only con nection with the case being a request that a drunken man should leave a church wherein he was sleeping, as the services were over and the church to be #closed.)
 Be it resolved, That we hereby place on record an unchanged confidence and respect for our honored brother, and as- sure him of our hearty support and sympathy in his many trials, to which this wholly unwarranted attack is an entirely gratuitoous and ungenerous contribution.
 Resolved, That a copy of this resolu- ton be at once forwarded to. our broth CT, and a similar copy be placed upon the minutes of Harmony division, No. 5, s. of T. Per order
