Here comes correspondent who
undertakes to show that DR.. Holmes
didn't originate the title of the At
lantic Monthly, but that it was Dor
rowed from another magazine which
bore that name quarter of a cen
fury earlier, and which lived and died
in New York. Whether DR.. Holmes
originated the name or not, there is
not much doubt, says the Boston Her
aid, that he selected it for the Boston
publication and that his selection was
duly acknowledged by the proprietors
OF the magazine. Besides. it furnished
the occasion for the preparation of
one of DIR. Holmes best puns. No
rude iconoclast can deprive his mem
DRY of that proud distinction.

Laundry work at home would be
much more satisfactory if the right
Starch were used. In order to get the
desired stiffness, it is usually neces-
sary to use so much starch that the
beauty and fineness of the fabric is
hidden behind paste of varying
thickness, which not only destroys the
appearance, but also affects the wear
ing quality of the goods. This trou-
BILE can be entirely overcome by using
Defiance Starch, as it can be applied
much more thinly because of its great
er strength than other makes.

BELMONT IS DEAD
MILLIONAIRE SUcCUMRs TO PER.
WoNlTlS AFTER OPERATION.
WAS ONCE MEMBER OF CONGRESS
Son of the Late August Belmont Was
Educated for the Navy, but
Early Abandoned It.

Hampstead, L. I.-Oliver H. P.
Belmont, after a weeks struggle
for life against peritonitis which sue
ceeded an operation for appendicitis,
died at $40 a. m. Wednesday.
Since Tuesday, Mr.. Belmont had
been in a state Of coma, and, when
his physician, DR.. Lanehart, after an
all-night vigil, decided shortly before
daylight that death was near, the fam
lily was called to the bedside of the
dying millionaire.
The last Saturday in May, although
the day was rainy and the air raw, he
went down to Belmont Park to wit
ness the running of the Belmont
stakes.
At the time he appeared to have
suffered no ill effects from the expos
ure and enjoyed the sport thoroughly,
When the physicians were called on
|. Monday, however, and diagnosed his
illness as appendicitis they found his
heart in such a condition that there

On Thursday, however, it became ap-
parent that the only hope for his re-
covery lay in an operation.
oliver Hazard Perry Belmont was
the sol of the late August Belmont,
and brother of August Belmont and
Perry Belmont. To distinguish him
from Perry, he was always called
collie"
When o. H. P. Belmont was young,
it was decided that he should keep up
the Perry family record by entering
the navy. The Perry family is de-
scended from the famous Commodore
Perry.
Accordingly Mr.. Belmont became an
Annapolis cadet, but it had little at
traction for him, and he soon left the
academy.
