A PITIFUL DEATH.

The recent death IN poverty and
squalor. IL not in actual want, and the
unattended funeral of Madame de Ia
Rance. so much better known by her
pen name of Ouida, is a sad COM
msntary on the vicissitudes and
changes of life. Although properly be-
longing to q past generation of fiction
writers, some Of her works are stiIl
popular and widely read. 1t has been
almost half q century since she bAgan
writing for the public. and she soon
became one of the most popular novel;
lists OF the times. That her works
may never be classed among the class
les Of literature is true, but a gener-
alton ago she was all the rage among
novel readers and her books had an
immense circulation. That her literary
work was highly remunerative Is not
to be doubted. but 1t all went In one
way or another, ana in her old age.
proudly refusing to accept charity. she
ended her life In what was really
pauperism.
The death OF this woman In her lone
ly and squalid Italian home forms u
vivid and pathetic contrast with her
life IN her best days. when sire was
the favorite of fortune and apparently
had all that money could give. She
was a prolific writer. Her books and
newspaper stories followed each other
in rapid succession, and were eagerly
sought by publishers and by the nc
tion reading public of the old and new
worlds. That she might have accumu-
lated aud laid by an ample competence
no one doubts. but she did not. and the
sad ending of the once brilliant writer
was amid the lowest depths NJ poverty.
The conclusion of her life forms a sad
and pitiful story.

The Lancashire Cotton MIII Troubles

alton of practically all the mills in
that great cotton center, was very
different affair. The Lancashire mills
are the largest consumers of Ameri-
can cotton In the world. hence their
stoppage would mean material fall

our Southern States.
It is not surprising. then, that the
mere prospect of strike or lockout

The mill owners claimed that the
oneratives, by making a demand for
another increase in wages before the
EXPIRATION of the limit for a further
Increase as provided in the agreement
now in force, violated thear pledges
and the men were Informed that rather
than agree to any such violation OF

close their mills for an indefinite period.
Although the operatives held out
against surrender for a considerable
time, they finally abandoned their de-
mands when brought face to face with
the certainty Of a lockout, which would
involve nearly the whole working pop
ulation of the district.
The whole cotton lndustry' partlep-

been averted. as that fact makes it
certain that there will be brisk compe-
tition between foreign and domestic

arRoNa CASE.

Reports from washington" so a
contemporary tells us, "agree that the
President is angry because Of the
charge that administration patronage
Is being used to further Taft's candi-
dacy." We are also told that "a
promise is given to make clear that
such charges are SANDER
Quite interesting information, but
the nrst part of it is not new-that
is, it is not new to learn that such
charges are made. We may now con-
fdentiy expect that the White House
will hand out "liar" and the like to
those who intimate that Theodore
Roosevelt would do such a thing. but
when he begins handing out his de-
nunciations he will fnd that some Of
them must go to members of his own
party ana to men and newspapers
cIassed among his friends ana adher-
ents. The wicked Democrats must not
receive all the jolts that Teddy is due
20 dispense to his accusers.
AS an evidence that Republicans an
derstand the Presidents game we re-
publish on this page a significant eds
torial from The Kansas City Journal
which deals with the subject in a
way that may be called conclusive as
90 the truth OF the charges against
the President. As will be seen The
Journal doesn't charge that Roosevelt
publicly proclaims that he will give
q postmastership or other office to any
man who will pledge himself to Taft.
That would defeat his own aims and
even Roosevelt can use policy when 1t
suits his purposes. He does his work
in a more subtle and diplomatic way
by working as much under cover as
possible. He finds many opportunities,
as The Journal shows, to do his work
without exposing his hand more than
is absolutely necessary. but the work
is none the less effective. Read the
quoted article carefully and see If The
Journal doesn't make out a strong
case. VIII the President ca; It a

II 10 now stated that Miss Gladys
Vanderbilt settled a little "dot" Of ave
million dollars on Count whatsh,snana-
ski when she married him. We has
little doubt that the man was making
. good financial bargain when he mar
ried her, and we were not mistaken.
With some of the old Vanderbilt
astuteness. or at the instigation OF rel-
atives. however. the money Is settled
on him in such way that he can use
only the income arising from IT. but
even at low rate Of interest that
should keep him in dogs and horses

money. In that she showed wisdom.
