The thing that is of most interest to Ameri-

proposal and the American marriage. How

very greatest love poems have breathed this
sentiment? Under moonlit sky, by the ocean

Cannes, March 26.-Spencer Compton
Cavendish, eighth duke of Devonshire,
died here today of heart failure, aged
10.
The death of the duke leaves a gap
in the public life of Great Britain, for,
although his withdrawal from the Bal
four ministry when Joseph Chamber
lain launched his fiscal policy ~estranged
him from a majority OF the party, he
still had a large following in the coun-
try. AS president of the Unionist Free
Trade league he took an active part
in the campaign against tariff reform.
Few men nave spent a more active
life than the duke. He had been almost
continuously a cabinet member III
as a liberal before the split with Clad
unionists.
The duke also was active socially.
His entertainments at his Picadtlly
residence and other country houses
were the most notable Of their kind.
Members of the royal family frequently
were his guests.
The duke had no immediate family
and the dukedom passes to his nephew
Mr.. C~avendish, who married the
daughter OF Lord L~ansdowne.
The death of the duke places n badge
OF the Order OF the Garter at the dis
posal of King Edward. A number of
public offices are also vacant. notably
the chancellorship of Cambridge uni
versity. the lord lieutenancy of Derby
shire and the provincial grand mas
tership of Derbyshire Masons, "a post
which the duke held for half a century.
