LONDON, Aug. 20.-The resignation
of Lord Curzon of Kedleston as Vice
roy of India and the appointment OF
the Earl of Mimic as his successor was
announced at the Indian Office to-day.
According to the correspondence, which
is issued in the form of a white book.
it appears that Lord Curzon's resigna-
tion was cabled to that Office on Au-
gust l.. The correspondence shows
decidedly bitter feeling between Lord
Curzon and Lord Kitchener. COM
mander in chief OF the forces
in India over the new plan of
army administration in India. Lord
Curzon's dissatisfaction came to a head
with the refusal of the Cabinet to ap-
point Major General Sir Edmund Bar
row. on Lord Curzon's recommepda-
ton, military supply member OF the
council. Replying on August 2 to the
refusal of Brodrick. Secretary OF Staff
of India, to make this appointment.
Lord Curzon requests that the Cow
ernment reconsider its decision, ''in or
der to enable me to accept the re-
sponsibiiity which I infer his Ma
jesty's Government still desires me to
assume"
Broderick again refused to comply
with the request for the appointment
of Major General Barrow. and Lord
Curzon replied as follows:
Iii is apparent that his Majestys
Government deny me that confidence
which alone can enable. me to serve
them, and attach a fundamentally diff
ferent Interpretation from myself to
the notifications. upon the acceptance
of which alone 1 consented TO remain
in office. The situation therefore re-
mains where 1T was when resigned
L.
able to accept my views I request the
Premier to place my resignation in the
hands of his Majesty"
To this Brodrick replied that there was
request from Mr.. Balfour that Lord
Curzon reconsider his determination. In
a final dispatch, however, dated August
Il. Lord Curzon says:
''The main question is not the choice OF
an individual. but one of the principles
underlying future change in our admin
istration. / am driven to the conclusion
that the policy of his Majesty's Gov
ernment IS based on principles that
could not conscientiously carry into exc
cution- In the interest OF the new or
ganization 1t Is desirable that I should
be relieved of my duties with as little
delay as possible"
To this Mr. Balfour himself replied that
he had. with the most profound regret,
submitted Lord Curzon's resignation to
the King"
Supplementary dispatches after the re-
ceipt of the resignation show. firstly.
that Lord Curzon and Lord Kitchener
were unable to agree over the details Of
the reorganization; and secondly, that
Lord Curzon at the time he left England
expressed his entire disagreement with
the PLAN
but" he says. at loyalty commenced
the undertaking and resigned only when
/ realized that conflicts were certain to
arise between the commander in chief
and the rest of the Government Of
India"
His concluding sentence reads:
II reflect with sorrow how little justi-
fication there has been for the claim that
you have rendered me your constant
support"

Once there was little boy named

one morning he was told to 60 up and
make acquaintance Of his new twin

One of the principal reasons for the
existence of store like ours Is our
ability to satisfy the needs of the
greatest number Of people at one
time. Not only does the public save
time and energy in its buying, but it
saves money for our store, because
we sell the fastest and the most, and
sell the cheapest. We can satisfy ev-
cry need and taste because we carry
the largest stocks and can rapidly
change them according to style and
season.

The domestication of the ostrich In

Ostriches are curious birds. The

One Of the revelations Of japanese

the events OF the last year and half
have furnished IL the ability Of that
people to keep their own counsel. As
consequence, says the Detroit Free
Press, they have sprung one surprise
after another upon the world. and this
has aroused 80 much wonder and ad-
miration that other countries, our own
among them, have undertaken to en-
ulate their discretion. 1t is now an
nounced that our navy department will
hereafter order officers to keep silence
concerning matters affecting that arm
of the service. Of course. we contend
that our navy is the equal, II not the
superior, of any other in the world, but
that its personnel has rather over

Publisher Missed tAs Daily uunning
from Lawyer to Which He Vas

About year ago q Junior member
Of Q prominent frm Of lawyers made
. departure from his usual line and
undertook to collect q debt due q
downtown publisher, relates the New
York Herald. The amount in dispute
was $1,000. It had been hanging fire
for long while and there seemed
very little chance OF ever collecting it.
i've tried every way I can think
Of" said the publisher. Maybe you
can scare the fellow into paying up.
II you can. I'll give you half you col

The lawyer took the case and finally
collected the money Then came q
tussle with the publisher, who failed
to live up to his end Of the agreement.
He paid half Of the $1,000 fee, as
promised, but withheld the remaining
$500.
For the first two months the law.
yer's efforts toward settlement were
conducted in dignifed manner. Con-
servative methods proving unavailing,
he resorted to system of petty an
noyances.
Day after day his errand boy was
dispatched to the publishers Office
with written or verbal request to
settle the account. For four months
this persecution continued, but at last
there came q day when in the rush
Of business the lawyer neglected thus
to jog the delinquent's memory.
