CANNON AT ST. JOSEPH, MO.
Delivered Address to Audience That
Filled the Auditorium.

Democrats who term President Roose-
welt the best democrat that ever sat in the
White House are like the devil when he
offered Christ all the Kingdoms Of earth
if the Savior would do his bidding said
Joseph G. Cannon, Speaker Of the national
House of Representatives, yesterday at
ST. Joseph, Mo, in an address.
The devil claimed all the earth, but he
did not own a ID foot of it," added
Cannon.
Speaker Cannon spoke to an audience
that overfowed the theater in which he
appeared.
Representative James Watson of Indiana
spoke briefly. Speaker Cannon devoted the
greater part of his speech to argument
in favor of the protective tariff. He said
William ]. bryan, in his unwisdom, was
like many other eloquent, magnetic, but
misguided men in history, dangerous to So
ciety and government. Cannon called at
tention to the growth OF the United States
under republican rule, and he dwelt upon
the hiatus In prosperity during CleVe-
lands second term. He said the republic
can party still stood on the protective tar
if platform written by Abraham Lincoln.
Before he began 10 speak Cannon was
asked If he was going to discuss Gompers.
"Gompers? What's he running for?'
asked the Speaker.
Il am going to try to make a republican
speech, and II refer to Mr.. Gompers it
will be only as the delivery of republic
can speech demands
How about the Cuban question:

said Mr. Cannon. The Plat amendment

Cuba. We will do that
And in addition, If it is necessary to

GENEVA, September 1, 1906.
People Of literary inclnations who come
to Geneva always find great pleasure in a
pilgrimage to Coppet, a chateau on the
north shore of the lake, which was the
home of Nine. de Stael. the most famous
woman of her time and one of the most
brilliant of her sex. Her maiden name was
Germaine Necker. She was born in 1866
and fell parayzed at ball at the house of
the Duke Decazes in Paris In 1S17-heF emo
tions exhausted, her nervous system ener-
waited by the use of opiates and worn out
by insomnia. She was buried at Coppet,
and thousands of people go there annually
to lay flowers upon her,grave.
Nine de Stael followed Voltaire as the

so that she was young girl In Paris when
he was shooting poisoned arrows at the
church from Ferney. He was Frenchman,
she was a Swiss. Her father was a Protes-
tant Irishman born in Geneva and began
life as a clerk in a bank. He closed his
career as the finance minister of Louis
XVI and was esteemed as statesman. a
philant hropSt, and one of the wea!thieSt

tual charms, married her offhand and took
her to Paris, where she became the center
of a circle of famous men and women who
were engaged in writing literature and
making history. Nine Necker, it is de-
clared by those who knew her best. had
quite as brilliant a mind, but she had do
mestic tastes: she was devotedy attache
to her husband and lacked the passion. the
vanity and the ambition of her daughter.

and when she discovered that fact he

statesman, wanted to marry her. At one
time they were supposed to be engaged,
never explained. Baron de Stael and his wife
never quarreled. Both went their own way
and sought the most congenial society that
they could find. She reigned as the literary

She did not care for women. She had rev

they came to visit her at Coppet each OF
them usually brought a lover and scandal

also frequent visitors at Coppet, and al

In those days literary genius considered
itself exempt from the social laws that gov
erned other people.
Nine De Stael knew more distinguished
people than any woman or man Of her CEN
fury. She had a personal ACQUAINTANCE with
every eminent man Of her generation In Eu-
rope. She correspondent with many of them.
She travelled more than any woman OF her
time When Napoleon expelled her from
France, and would not even permit her to
live at Coppet, she went to MOSCOW, st.
Petersburg. Rome and Constantlnople: lived
eighteen months in Stockholm and Copen-
hagen spent a year or two in Berlin ana
other cities Of Germany. She spent several
years in London, and was literary lloness
everywhere she went. She held salon IN
every country in Europe, but 1t was not
her that she could return and reopen her
salon at Coppet.
Her Marriage.
Having inherited large fortune from her
father she could indulge herself in any
fancy even frequent changes of lovers, and
she had as many as she liked. The list is
a long one and her harmless husband was
always conveniently somewhere else. After
he eHaced himself by death, it was ex-
pected that she would marry one of the
distinguished. men who had enjoyed her
friendship but to the establishment of her
friends. she married Albert De Rocca, a
young Spanard He was twenty-three. and
she was forty-five. Although she allowed
him to travel with her and received from
him the attentions that a husband would
be expected to pay, she kept the marriage a
secret for several years because she was
afraid of ridicule.
Nine De Stael was fond of her children
and was a good mother. She might have
been a good wife II she had been happily
married. Both Of her novels-''Delphine''
and "Corinne''-are the bitter croy of a

Visitors to Lake Geneva.

Visitors to Lake Geneva.
There is an unknown quantity of valuable
literary relics concealed around the shores
| of Lake Geneva. There is an ungathered
harvest of priceless autographs awaiting
fortunate collectors. Every famous man
and woman for three centuries either lived
in visited Geneva. and the villas around
| the banks Of the lake. and made many
friends with whom they afterward CORE
sponded. Many of their letters are still
carefully filed away in the family archives.
Milton was there several times; Gibbon
wrote his history at Lausanne; Byron spent
months every summer for years at Vevey,
MontreuX- and Terretet, and wrote some of
his best things at the east end of the lake
1t was favorite and frequent haunt of
Thackeray. Dickens lived at Ouchy several
summers. There is street in Lausanne
named after him. His most intimate friend
and constant companion was Mons. De
Cerjat, whose son has more than a hundred
long letters written from London and else
where, describing his home Life in n graphic
and characteristic way, discussing his
works, his plans and intentions and throw
! ing much light and valuable information
upon the originals of the characters who
appear in his stories. These letters have
never been printed. Their owner feels that
| it would be a breach of confidence to pub
| fish them. and refused to give copies even
| to Forster. the authorized biographer of
| Charles Dickens.
Thomas Jefferson visited Lake Geneva sew
eral times and had an intimate friend in
Dr. Tronchim, a famous physician, who at
tracted many rich invalids to Geneva. When
Jefferson returned to the United States they
corresponded to the end of their lives. The
present head of the family. Mr.. Tronchim,
who lives at Blessing, large Egyptian villa
on the French side of the lake, about five
miles from Geneva, has number of auto
graph letters which Jefferson wrote to his
great-grandfather They have never been
printed and are unknown to all of Jeffer-
sons biographers. They are of historic i'm
portance and have intense interest. how
ever because they describe the gradual de-
velopment of republican institutions in the
United States from Jefferson's point of
view, for the enlightenment of a foreign
philosopher and politician who had recent
ly gone through an exciting experience in
the French revolution and had witnessed
the rise and the failure of republican nsti-
tutions in France.
Dr. Tronchim was not only q great ply
sician, but he was patriotic statesman and
q political economist also. You can imagine
what sort of letters Jefferson would have
