HAD TEMPEsTuous CAREER.
After a Stormy Life Mabel Countess
Russell Dies of Consumption.

London Correspondence of the Philadel-
phia Record
Mabel Countess Russell, the former wife
of Earl Russell, is dead, having breathed
her last at Maidenhead at the age OF 3D.
She had suffered from consumption for
several months. Her mother, Lady scott,
widow of Sir Claude Scott, was with her
when she died.
The countess had q. very unhappy Ca
reer. During her honeymoon she was so
I'll with pleurisy that her life was de-
SPARED Of Then began the remarkable
and complicated series of htigious Diff
ferences with her husband, which may
be summarized as follows;
1SeO-Married Earl Russell, son OF Wis
count Amberley, and grandson OF Lord
John Russell
separated a few months after mar
riage.
Presented a petition for judicial separa-
ton on the ground of her husband
cruelty Petition dismissed
1g94-5-sued unsuccessfu1ly for restitu-
ton of conjuga1 rights judicial separa-
ton granted to the earl on the ground
that the countess was guilty of legal
cruelty"
1S97-Claimed in the court OF appeal that
there was no evidence of her legal
cruelty" The court dismissed the petit
stion for the restitution of conjugal rights
and the contemplation Of Earl Russell
for a separation order.
The earl appealed to the House of Lords
who upheld the Judgment OF the court
of appeal, the parties being left in the
position of man and wife as at the out
set.
The countess mother, Selma Lady
Scott, sued by Earl Russell for crimi-
nal libel; convicted and sent to prison.
1ss9-Appeared as Winifred Grey In

wanted everybody to know where he
stood.
When he went to Ohio in 1905 to act
as temporary chairman of a republican
convention he made a speech which was
in substance an appeal to his party breth
rem to smash on election day the repub
lican machine in Cincinnati. Taft was
talked of at that time a presidential
possibility. He knew that his course
would injure him in his party organiza-
ton; that he would make enemies of
many whose friendship would be valuable
If he were a candidate for an elective Of
flee. But to him words Of praise for the
republican machine ticket in Cincinnati
or silence on the subject meant hypocrisy
and his New England conscience told him
to go to the other extreme. 1t is this
popularity in Tafts temperament which
amazes those friends of his who think
he should trim his sails in the winds of
popularity
He exhibited this trait while he was on
the federal judicial bench. The pros
pect of the political future cut no figure
with the young iurist. He had no apol-
ogies to make for his course at that time,
and would not brook any questioning of
its fairness
As a judge Taft earned the reputation
of being fearless and just and it was
this reputation which accounts in part
for his popularity in Ohio. He was never
afraid to strike at evil and always ready
to accept full responsibility for his judi
cial decisions and orders. Yet he was as
ready to acknowledge any error On his
part and a remarkable instance is re-
corded where he actually apologized to
a litigant for uncompimentary illusions
made from the bench

this government with the republic of Pan
anna since the ratification of the original
treaty. and has succeeded In keeping our
relations with the isthmus uniformly
pleasant.
SeIf-Government for Cuba.
Aside from the Philippines and the
canal the greatest call that has been
made upon Mr.. Taft since he became Sec
rotary of war came from Cuba. This was
case also largely similar to the Philip
pine problem.
The Cubans having adopted a constitu-
tion they had not the slightest idea of
what to do with 1t. They proceeded to
govern under the only system of which
they had any knowledge. The proclama-
ton of the President took the place of the
old royal decree. He created by his fiat
the departments of government which
should have been established by law of
Congress under the authority of the con-
stitution. Freedom in the American sense
was unknown in Cuba.
In September, 1906 the United States
had to intervene and the task fell on Mr..
Taft. Fortunate 1t was both for the
United States and Cuba that 1t was so.
With his experience of the Filipino as n
guide and the magnetism of his PERSONAL
ity as q lever, Mr.. Taft placated the war
vention. Then he devised and set up
provisional government which all the
Cubans accepted
The work Is now nearing completiohS
and when next the Americans quit Ha-
vana it will be after turning over to the
Cubans a government machine properly
established and fully equipped whose OPP
GRAFTON they have been taught to under
stand and control. Thus to Two peoples
I,a Mr. of paIlad To give
instruction in practical self-government.
The character of Mr.. Taft is the re-
sultant of strongly contrasting forces.
He is a man who laughs and fights. From
his boyhood good nature and good humor
have been the traits which always re-
ceived notice first. But all the time he
has been capable of splendid wrath,
which now and then has blazed out. under
righteous provocation, to the utter con-
sternation and undoing of it's object.
A Human Steam Engine.
Mr.. Taft is the very personificaton of
energy. He is a human steam engine. He
is always busy. Work, and hard work,
is his pleasure. He breathes good will
and suggests mental, moral and physical
wholesomeness. Yet with all his pleasant
informally and his frequent laughter he
has a dignity of manner and carriage
that commands respect and attention.
If he thinks a thing is wrong he does
not hesitate to say SO. This phase of his
character takes a peculiar form. He will
go out of his way to avoid hurting the
feelings of any of his fellow men; he
does not like to inlict pain: but fire.
ouently when 1t is to his personal and
noljtical advantage to be silent he has
spoken out because silence would mean
a misunderstanding of his attitude He
