r London. March 23.--1n political cir
cles the greatest interest Is being
1svinced in the future of Lord Curzon.
1t is practically certain that this brilliant
Oxford scholar will accept the vice-chan-
cellorship of oxford University. This Is
an important post, but beyond that the
whole Conservative party look to Lord
Curzon to take the lead in the struggle
for tariff reform In the near future.
Lord Curzon is, in ract, now looked
upon at the Carlton Club as the successor
OF Mr.. Chamberlain, about whose health
no one behind the scenes attempts to pre-
varicate. Mr.. Chamberlain, it is known,
will never again appear in public, and
It is to Lord Curzon that the whole party
is looking for a lead. He has definitely
promised to stand for Parliament next
Autumn.
Meanwhile, Mr.. Balfour with his eva
sive speeches is becoming more and more
unpopular and distrusted even among his
closest political colleagues. Lord Curzon
will remain quietly in the country house
he has taken near Oxford and will be lit
tie seen in London this season.
The recent wedding of Lady Grey Eyer
ton (nee May Cuyier of Baltimore) to Mr..
Richard McCreery caused no surprise to
their friends. 1t has been an open secret
for a very long time that Mr.. McCreery
was the cause of the trouble between Sir
Phillip Grey Egerton and his wife and
the whole of London society is on the
side of Sir Phillip who is a good fellow
and very popular. Sir Phillip who Is Il

Mr.. and Mrs. Richard McCreery are now

The position of this couple is expected
to be a very difficult one.
On the continent Mr.. McCreary's mother
has been a great power. She was known
at one time as the Queen OF Rome ow-

Once more the rumor is revived that the
Duke and Duchess of Marlborough are to
be brought together again to live happily
ever afterward. The rumor is due to the
fact that the Rev. w. Garlic. chief of the
Church Army, has been doing his best to
bring about a reconciliation
A few weeks ago Mr.. Garlic, who is
very friendly with the King and Queen,
visited the Duke at Blenheim, and lately
he has been the guest of the Duchess at
Beaulieu in the Riviera.
Mr., Garlic impressed on the Duke and
Duchess the need for a reconciliation ana
many friends of the Marlborough be-
lieve that the clever and eloquent chief OF
the Church Army will succeed where the
King failed.
There have been reports that the
Duchess is to devote the rest of her life
to the social work-in other words, dis
trict visiting in the slums-of the Church
Army This is absolutely without founda-

tensely interested on the Church Army.

Colonel Henry E. C. Kitchener, Lord
Kitcheners oldest brother, who resigned
from the British army several years ago
to become banana planter in Jamaica,
is now in England purchasing material
for the construction of an earthquake
proof house on the Kitchener" model.
Colonel Kitchener's residence in the SUI
burbs of Kingston was badly damaged
by the earthquake.
He has decided to build house with
walls composed of rows Of drain pipes
placed on end and filled with cement,
casing of cement on the outside and
thin wood inside. He declares that this
combination will resist any earthquake.
Colonel Kitchener travelled from Kings
ton to Bristol by the mail steamer Port
Antonio, which arrived a fortnight ago.
During the voyage he was approached by
an ambitious millionaire, who announced
his intention OF going 10 lnuld next
month. He asked Colonel Kitchener Ia

Despite the enormous sums paid by VIII
liam Waldorf Aston in restoring and re-
building Hever Castle, his tenants In the
pretty old-world village adjoining unanl-
mously hate their new landlord. Mr. As
tor has his own ideas about the rights
of landlords and the villagers complain
that he is endeavoring to revive the dis
tasteful features of feudalism-probably
in harmony with his revival Of medieval
architecture.
Mr.. Aston Is showing an unpleasantly
increasing determination to control his
tenants and the latter are writing letters
to the local newspapers protesting against
unwarranted interference with their pri-
vate life. Recently Mr.. Astor developed
a violent dislike to one of the village In
keepers, where unruly tenants were in tho
habit of congregatlng and ventilating
their grievances. The inkeepers refused
to vacate. whereupon Mr.. Astor's agent
offered a sum for the property far be-
yond its value. The owners consequently
accepted and the triumphant lord of the
manor proceeded to close the inn.
Mr.. Aston will entertain extensively at
Hever Castle this summer The new
guests rooms have Just been refurnished
throughout and 1t is said that a large
American house party will inaugurate the
festivities next month.

The Possible Overthrow of The Pres

Washington, March A.-From Shanghai
advices received at the state department
1t appears that the ruling dynasty in
China Is seriously alarmed over the ef-
feet Of the spread of famine throughout
the country, and the opportunity 1t offers
TO sedtionary societies to enlist converts
to the cause directed against the govern
ment. The suffering of the people is used
as capital, 1t Is said in that Judicious
assuaging of want places the persons
given assistance under obligations to the
societies. The governments inability 10
relieve suffering. 1t is said, has been
magnified and the hardships of the peo-
pie attributed to lack of sympathy by the
government for the poorer classes.
The information received here was that
a propaganda has been organized to fur
Their the circulation of stories of the char
acter outlined. and it Is said that state
department officials fear that a spread
of hysteria may engender general up
rising. If such should be the result, there
is danger that the government will not
be able to control the situation.

ever, that the president places no
bar in the way of activity on the
part of federal officeholders who
may desire to support other as
pirants for the nomination, al
though it is clear that he would
prefer that such holders of govern
ment positions keep themselves
free from offensive partisanship"
in the work of selecting conven-
ton delegates.
The presidents determination
to- discourage officeholders from
seeking to dominate the nominal
tion convention is worthy of all
appreciation, as tending to the
good of the federal service and to
make the ticket as finally consti-
tuted truly representative of the
sentiment of the republican rank
and file when it shall have been
more completely crystalized.-

REFRESHING Federal Office Holders.

President Rooevelt's letter to
members of his cabinet. request
ing them to inform federal
employees under their jurisdic-
tion to restrain from political &C
tivity with the object Of his re
nomination is in keeping with
the policy of non.inferference in
politics by the federal brigade
which has been enforced more
vigorously under Mr.. Roosevelt
than under any former chief ex-
ecutive. 1t is notice, in effect,
that whatever the outcome of the
next republican national con-
vention, the charge cannot be
successfully made that bylpassive
permission the president has set
his denomination. The part in
point of the presidents letter to
members of his cabinet follows:
II am informed that certain
oficeholders in your department
holding various positionsthrough-
out the country contemplate at
tending republican conventions
IN their respective states and
nrging the Endorsement of my

ton. | wish that you would
direct federal officeholders in
your department who have such
a thing in view that | would re-
gard it as an act of official i'm

The letter, it is understood.
was provoked because of the re-
port that federal officeholders in
the south have been using
their influence either to be sent
themselves or to have delegates
sent to the republican conven-
tion instructed for Mr.. Roosevelt.

procedure would constitute ian
act of official improperly and

gone as far as he could in self.

When First
We Gave Thanks
The Original Proclamation Was Issued
in 1877 and Copy of II Still

The first Thanksgiving pro-
clamation issued was in 1917 and
copy is said to be preserved in
the Massachusetts, State Histori-
cal Society.
During the revolutinary times
many thanksgiving days we're
ordered, and congress always
adjourned on the day set. Gen.
Washington issued a Thanks
giving proclamation to the con-
tinental army Thursday, Dec. Is,
1777, and again at Valley Forge,
on May Z, 1878, Eleven years
later-as president of the United
States-he issued the first ma
tional Thanksgiving procla-
nation.
Congress discussed, with the
seriousness of the times, the adj
visibility of requesting the presi-
dent to issue such proclama-
ton and many were the objections
raised. However, in spite of OBJ
lection, the president was request
ed to issue the national procla.
nation and did so, appiuting as
Thanksgiving Day, Thursday,
Nov. 20, 1889. 81
The book of Common Prayer,
revised in 1889 for the use of the
Protestant Episcopal church in
America, directed a form of
prayer and thanksgiving to
Almighty God for the fruits of
the earth, and all other blessings
of His merciful prudence; to be
used yearly on the first Thursday
in November. or on such other
day as shall be appointed by the
civil authority"
From Washington's time to
Lincoln the issuance of proc
lamation was of an intermittent
character. Sometimes a presi-
dent thought of it, but more
often he did not. Quite fire quent--
lily governors of states issued a
request Tor the general observ-
ance of some one day in the year
as one of thanksgiving and
prayer in their particular COM
mon we alths, but it was not un-
til 1868 that such proclamation
becam settled national feature.
President Lincoln-after the
battle of Gettysburg-issued a
proclamation recommending the
people to set apart Aug. 9th, to
be observed as day of national
thanksgiving, praise land prayer
to Almighty God" The next
year he issued another proclama-
ton, and since then no president
has neglected to issue an annual
Thanksgiving proclamation.
