ten in the house.
Tariff bills are passed by con-
ference committees. That is the
history of our tariff bills. That is
to be the history of the Payne,
Aldrich bill. The public has no
power to modify the proposed tar
if law. The country may as we'll
make up it's mind to take what
comes.
Aldrich. Cannon, Payne and Dial.
zell will turn this trick And they
will turn it in the way that they
like best. All of which. however,
will occur some weeks hence.
The tariff bill as now reported
must be regarded as political doc.
ument The leaders of the house
are trying to deal with the tariff
matter in a way which will not
cause their constituents to turn
them out of power two years
hence. So. in reporting the meas
ure just reported. the speaker and
his friends are doing what they can
to make a record.
After Aldrich has written in
amendments which are satisfactory
to big people," members of the
house will say:
I'VE did the best we could. See
the bill as reported by the ways
and means committee. That's the
bill we voted for. We can't help
1t if the senate frames up lot of
changes, and then Cannon appoints
lot of conferees who indorse the
senate changes"
And so the member will ask to
be reelected.
And that member, If reelected,
will be one Of the first to vote once
more for the rules. and for Cannon
together, is the system by
which the corporations turn the
trick.

with Emilia herself, the wild child of
nature.
Mr.. Meredith was serious humor.
ist His books are repete with quaint
drolleries, but his fun was the out.
come of his cynical way of looking at
human nature. Life" he says in "The
Ordeal of Richard Feverel" "is a su-
preme procession with ironic laughter
of gods In the background"
The laughter is not all that of the
gods, for George Meredith laughed, too,
though there was a spice of sadness
in his laughter as one of who had
looked out upon the world and had
found little there to cheer him. Nay.
Meredith's humor suggested that he
made haste to laugh lest he should
weep, and at best his laughter was
charged with bitterness.
Mr.. Meredith married twice. His
first wife was a daughter Of Thomas
Love Peacock, an English humorist, to
whom he dedicated one of his first
books. After twelve years his wife
died, leaving him one son, and Mr..
Meredith married again and settled
down at Box Hill, Surrey. His second
wife died Sept. II, 1885, leaving a son
and a daughter.
OF late years he lived quietly at
Box HILL He kept himself In almost
complete seclusion, seeking recreation
mainly in long country walks. He
was regarded as the dean of English
men of letters, and received from the
King the Order Of Merritt. On his S0th
birthday, Feb. 81, last year, he was
honored by the leading literary men of
Great Britain with an address Of con-
graduation. His American admirers
also sent their greetings, drawn up by
Prof. Charles Eliot Norton, and signed
by such men as Mark Twain, Henry
James, Richard Watson Glider George
W. Cable and William Dean Howells.

CHAPTER XII.

We must now revert to what Mrs.
Hudson did upon receipt of her telegram
as harmless, apparently, as "the pork
chops and tomato sauce" Of ,Pickwick' s
immortal history. Yet even in that case
great events from trivial causes sprang."
That lady is destined to be as much. dis
turbed in a monetary point of view as
Mrs. Bardell: but infinitely more to her
own advantage.
Mrs. Hudson was lounging pleasantly
enough in an armchair, reading the dur
nal literature of her country in that
abode of comfort, bliss, and intelligence,
yclept Paper Buildings, when that most
domestic of kilograms reached her. That
she was attired in morning coat, neat
trousers. unimpeachable boots, and had a
cigar in her mouth, will scarcely astonish
the reader, who has probably already sur
missed that Silky Dallison represented that
lady.
"Ah!" he exclaimed, after reading the
message. "what cross it looks like. But
I must be off at once to see Plyart. Twen-
ty minutes to three; just catch him before
he goes down to Tattersall's." Mr.. Dalli-
son was a. man Of decision he was into a
hanson and at the door of the Victoria
Club In something less than ten minutes.
His conference with the bookmaker was
short, and then they separated, both to
make their way to the great Turf Ex-
change at Knightsbridge.

A Distinguished Sufferer.
ITO be continued.)

The sufferings of dramatic authors
at the first-night performances of their
plays are said to be so acute that few
of them dare to sit in front at the dra-
matte debut of the children of their
brain. Thackeray, in his "Virginians,"
has George Warrington sitting in a
neighboring coffee-house while the first
production of his "Carpezan" is in prog
ress, receiving bulletins of, It's recep-

any of his many successful operas and
plays, dreading the nervous strain of
the ordeal. Even Henry ]. Byron, who
was supposed to be a callous sort of
person., In so far as caring for the
worlds verdict was concerned, is said
to have been completely wretched at
the first production of his play, Dear
er than Life"
1t was at this performance that a
long delay occurred at the end Of the
second act, filing the audience with inn
patience and the distinguished author
with dread.
"What in the name of Heaven can
they be doing back there" asked a
critic, meeting Byron in the lobby of
the theater trying to calm his troubled
spirit by walking nervously about.

with melancholy gesture of despair. ,

usual, adding little cornstarcn, so

against him, he rose in the course of the
day to be once more first favorite reach
ing very nearly to his original price Of
ten days back. From. the opening of the
rooms Dallson was very eager in his
offers to back the horse, while it might
have been also noticed that Mr.. Plyart
accepted the long odds against Coriander.
"Just to cover himself" as he said, "hav-
ing laid rather heavily against him" But
it quickly permeates through the Sub
scription Room that the horse is being
backed in earnest, and when, about half
past four, Pearman's accredited agent
began also to put money on the horse, the
excitement became intense.
The Ring, or stock brokers of the turf,
like their brethren of the eastern ex-
change, with all their acuteness are mar
velously like sheep in times of panic.
The leaders at both places can increase
or depreciate property pretty much at
their pleasure. AS there is, of course,
money to be made by such fluctuations,
it can scarcely be wondered at that they
do it. But why should the one be deem
ed virtuous and respectable, and the 9TH
er the contrary? There is little to choose
between the scandals of the two betting
rings.
Grenville Rose, upon Pearman's de-
parture, had carried the release in tri-

Harold Denison was a good deal taken

had not received the slightest hint of this
in any way beforehand, and to say that
he was pleased now he did hear it, would
be very far from the truth. He liked
his nephew, perhaps as far as it was in

Mourn Death of Novelist.
George Meredith, English poet and
novelist, who passed away recently in
his unpretentious cottage in Box Hill,
Surrey, has endeared himself to En-
glish readers throughout the world for
many years. He was born in Hamp-
shire, Eng, Feb. IL, 1928. and was left
an orphan early in life Until the
age of 10 he was educated in Germany,
and before he was 23 years old he had
published poems and novel He de-
voted himself to writing. THE Ordeal
of Richard Feverel," which was pub
lished in 1859, was received with great
praise and has been widely read since
then.
His early life in London was an
unceasing struggle against poverty,
and he was hampered at the outset of
his literary career with pecuniary diff
ficulties.
Mr.. Meredith possessed in a marked
degree the three grand qualities which
are essential to the making of the nov
elist-analytical power, narrative ca
pacity and humor.
A notable feature of the genius Of
Meredith was his power of under
standing women. There is hardly a
more lovable woman in any fiction
than Diana Merton; then in "The Ad-
