nue.. his wife. worn out by devoted at
tendance upon him and shocked by the
verdict of physicians that he could not

in an adjoining room by turning on the

that he has not been informed of his
wife's death.
When informed last night that his
wife was resting, Mr.. Cisco appeared
relieved. It is feared that if told of her
death. what little chance he may have
for recovery. will be destroyed. The
couple had been married nearly fifty
years.

LONDON, March 24.-The news of
the death of the Duke of Devonshire
came Unexpectedly to England, and has
caused widespread regret. Although
the Duke had been ailing since he suf-
fered a sudden attack of heart weak
ness at Windsor Castle last June, the
recent accounts of his health had been
so reassuring that the news of his
death comes as a surprise.
Few. men have spent a more active
political life than the Duke of Devon
shire. He had been almost continuous
ly a cabinet member in charge of some
important department, as a Liberal
before the split with Gladstone. and
later as leader of the Observation-Disclosures.
He led the Liberals during the tenn
porary retirement of Gladstone in 1875,
and was offered, but refused the
premiership after the Midlothian cam
paign of 1880. He was again offered
this honor upon the defeat of home
rule, but he again refused. He was
best known to students of political
history as the Marquis of Harrington.
The duke has no immediate family,
and the dukedom passes to his nephew.
Victor c. w. Cavendish, who married
the daughter of Lord Lansdowne.
The death Of the duke places a badge
OF the Order of the Garter at the dis
posal of King Edward, and this, in ac-
with custom, will be returned
to his Majesty by the successor to the
title. A number of public Offices also
are made vacant, notably the chancel-
lorship of Cambridge University, the
lord heutenancy of Derbyshire and the
provincial grandmastership of the
Derbyshire Masons, a post which the
duke held for half a century. The duke
owned about 1886, 900 acres.

After mature consideration" says
Mr.. Wellman, in the Chicago Record
Herald, the Governor has reached the
conclusion it Is his duty to his party
to permit the party to have an oppor-
tunity to choose him if it wishes to
do So. He will not scramble for the
nomination. He has no organization,
and will have none. The report that
headquarters in his interest were to be
opened in the East was an error. He
has authorized no such thing. Men Of
large means have offered to finance
his campaign. and he has refused all
such overtures. He will not travel up
and down the country making speeches
and trying to attract attention to him
self. He does not believe in that meth
cd of seeking the Presidency.
