A FAMOUS PEERLESS.
Something About the Duchess Of Aber-
corn, Who Died Recently.

From the Philadelphia Ledger.
The body Of the late Dowager Duchess
Of Abercorn was buried. according to the
joining that Of her brother Lord Wriothes-
ley Russell. who died twenty years ago, in
small cemetery close to Chenies Church
Among the wreaths sent to the grave was
one Of orchids and lilies from Queen Alex
andra. The late duchess could remember
George III. For years she had given an
home. Coates Castle, and 1t took place last
Christmas, as usual. Considerable time
was spent by her in Ireland, where her
father, the Duke Of Bedford acted once as
lord lieutenant, and twice she occupied the
Viceregal Lodge, her husband, the first
Duke Of Abercorn, being lord lieutenant
twice.
was gold chain, to which We're attached
no less than fourteen lockets, each contain
ing a picture of one of her fourteen chill
dren. She was seldom seen without this
necklace, and the origin of the ornament is
interesting Her first child was born when
her husband was Marquis of Abercorn, and
on asking her what ornament she wished
to have to commemorate the event she eX-
pressed wish for locket containing the
picture of the child. Thereafter he pre-
scented her with a similar locket with a
picture of each child. All Of the dowager
duchess children and their children's chill
dren were devoted to her. She was almost
invariably present at every wedding in the
family. The last one, that of Lord and
Lady Kerry, took place in February Of
last year. Her favorite wedding present to
her grandchildren on their marriages was
a bracelet to the bride, inscribed in dia-
monds with the word "Grannie.

HELPING SANTO DOMINGO.
Secretary Taft Explains Policy of Adj
ministration Toward That Republic.

Secretary Taft does not believe in con-
cealment or evasion in the discussion of the
affairs of the government. In a recent con-
yersation he undertook to correct a general
Misrepresentation in regard to the policy of
the administration toward Santo Domingo.
I'VE are just now engaged" said he lin
lending helping hand to the republic Of
Santo Domingo. That republic has contract
ed large amount of debt which 1t will not
be able to pay for many years 1t Is quite
possible that part of this debt Is unjust
and swelled beyond that which would APP
pear just upon arbitration. If so, 1t ought
to be cut down. and this whether it is held
by Europeans or Americans.
appeal Is made to the United states to
act as a receiver of the income of the ISL
and, to turn over enough funds to run the
government, or 40 per cent OF the total IN
come, and then to disburse the remaining
IS per cent as the rights of creditors should
appear Provisions of this tenor are con-
tanned In the treaty presented to the Senate
for confirmation. Discussion In the Senate
prevented confirmation at the last term, and
now the question stands open for decision
during the next session Of the Senate.
an the meantime in order to preserve
the status quo at the time the treaty was
made President Morales has invited Presl-
dent Roosevelt to nominate to him Ameri-
cans whom he might safely put in charge
of the customs houses, and to name an
American bank in which the surplus reve-
nueS might De SaIeiy depoSiteu 10 await
the action of the Senate, and then to be
distributed as either the treaty shall re.
quire, or IL 1t be not confirmed, then as
Santo Domingo shall require.
Some question has been made of the pow
er of the President in the absence of agree
ment of the Senate to acquiesce in such an
arrangement. The arrangement is not a
treaty and cannot be called SO. On the part
OF the United States 1t Is assuming no obi
cation to do anything; it is only rendering
assistance to q weaker sister to maintain a
status quo. existing at the time of the sign
ing Of the treaty, until 1t shall be deter
mined whether the treaty can be confirmed
or not. The United States government is
not made to agree to anything, and 1t Is
not itself even a trustee by virtue of what
It has done. It has simply nominated GER
tain respectable tax collectors who are
bonded tax collectors and agents. not of
the United States. not of syndicate of
bondholders. not for the European nations
holding bonds. but OF the Santo DOMINICAN
government.
Il do not think that even the. most jeai-
GUS of the rights and prerOgatives of the
Senate win be heard to object to this modus
vivendi or to preserving status quo until
the Senate shall have had further time to
consider the treaty

Senator Lodge, in the Reader Magazine.
A little more than thirty years ago boy
could enter Harvard College and after four
years graduate with the highest honors
without knowing of the existence OF the
Declaration Of Independence or when the
Constitution OF the United States was
framed. What was true of Harvard was
true of other universities and colleges
American history was not included in the
scheme Of the higher education. Boys en-
tering college were required to know some
thing Of the history OF Greece and Rome,
but not OF their own country. During the
four years OF the college course they had
opportunity to study the history Of England
and Europe, but never to learn aught Of the
United States. This condition of education
mind then passing away, but which had
once been predominant.

Elimination Of the Horse,
From Harper's Weekly.


One of the most striking suggestions for
the amelioration of traffic conditions in
oyercrowded city streets is to restrict GER
tain highways. such as Broadway, New
York. to motor vehicles. There would be
an important saving in space as the elm
ination of the horses would permit at least
half as many more vehicles to occupy the
streets, whether in motion or when drawn
up at the curb ready for loading or unload
ing. Furthermore 1t Is a fact that motor
vehicles, and especially those for freight,
can be run at much greater speed than
trucks drawn by horses while their control
Is far simpler matter. Then there Is also
the fact that a single motor-truck can be
constructed of larger dimensions than any
horse-drawn truck. Such a plan has been
seriously considered by engineers interested
In municipal development, and there are
many points to recommend 1t, such as the
decrease of wear on streets due to narrow
iron-tired wheels. the absence of dirt, and.
possibly, less noise.
