Kendall Family

In Westmoreland, England, there is
q river named the Kent. and the Kent
dale was the valley or dale Of the
Kent. One of the big families Of
Westmoreland lived in this dale In the
town Of Kirby-Kendal, or Kendale, as
It used to be spelled, and became
known by the first part of the name
OF the town as the Kendall, Kendall or
Kendale family. In County Cornwall
there is now, and for centuries has
been a family of the same name who
came originally from Treworgy; and
although the descent Of this Cornwall
family cannot be traced to the same
original stock, and probably came
originally from Kirby-in-Kendall.
The Kendall family in England
bears the proud distinction Of having
sent more members, perhaps, than any
other family to the British parlia-
ment. At all events It has sent as
many members as any other family.
Mr.. and Mrs. Kendall, the great Eng
fish actors, whom we naturally think
of IN connection with this name, were
not really named Kendall at all, but as
-sumed the name for their stage ca
sreers.
In this country the family was
founded by two brothers-Francis and
Thomas. They were born in England
and emigrated to Massachusetts, Bay
Colony some time before 1640. One
Of them, Thomas, settled at Lynn.
There he was married to one Rebec-
"A. and later-6bout 16B3-went to
Reading, Mass, where he died IN 1851,
leaving behind him a reputation for
his manliness and highly religious
character.
The other brother, Francis. settled
~ Woburn, Mass, then called Charles
avn village. There he married Mary
-Tidd. and Nike his brother moved TO
heading, Mass
Francis had four sons and i've

.heuRhters who reached maturity. One
~ their blographers has this to say
about them: "The descendants Of

A Chicago physician gleefully tells
n child story at his own expense. The
five children of some faithful patients
had measles, and during their rather
long stay in the improvised home hos
pital they never failed to greet his
daily visit with pleased reclamation.
The good doctor felt duly battered
but rashly pressed the children In the
DAYS of convalescense, for the reason
Of this sudden affection. At last the
youngest and most indiscreet let slip
the better truth.

4 Discovery Made In the
 Archives By Senator Lodge WHEN WAGES WERE LOW
Serious Change is Made in Administration Railroad Bill By Which Commis- sion is Substituted for Commerce Court

Washington. March 9.-The inquiry into the high cost of living was re- sumed by the senate committee which examined Edward Hall. who conducts local grocery and meat market. He says the biggest jump in meat prices ever known was made in the last two years.
 Senator Lodge discovered that there was d time in the past when prices were unusually high. That fact came through an old document of the twen- ty-fourth congress. It was q recom mendatiOn by the secretary of the treasury for an increase in the salaries of clerks. The paper was accompanied by private memorandum of expenses. kept by a clerk. which showed that sugar was 15c a pound at that time: flour sS barrel; illuminating oil s1 gallon. On the other hand, labor was paid only 15c day. The date of the document was 1856.

Washington. March 9-"Either the sherman act should be repealed or should be enforced in manner to make the people respect it.
 With this declaration the depart ment of justice today filed in the federal supreme court thousand page brief in support of the petition that the Standard oil company be dissolved for it's violation. of the Sher- man antitrust law. The brief will be the foundation of Sle government oral argument at the hearing on Mon day.
 The government declares that the testimony shows that rebates and dis criminatory rates were received by the Standard combination. not only during it's formative period. but dur ing the last ten years. whereby the Standard was enabled to bring q large part Of the concerns into the combi- nation and crush. cut and eliminate from the field of competition the principal part of the balance.
 We do not wish to be understood as discouraging enterprise. says the government.

 President Taft is fully acquainted with the difficulties in securing satiS- factory tariff legislation" remarked member of the government today
 and he knows that the French cham Der of deputies must work and com promise to perfect a measure as much as the American congress does. 1 can say there has been no disposition shown by the American government to hamper us in our tariff work or to continue the American law to the dis advantage of France. All in due time these .matters will be strengthened out in a perfectly friendly way. and you may put down all this talk of a tariff war as pure nonsense"

The opinion is growing here that Russia is at the bottom of the trouble and is determined to bring about a condition which will compel intervention. through which she hOpes 10 get an offset tO Bosnia and HerZi- gOvnia.
 A year and a half have elapsed since an official state act was published no tifying the annexation of Bosnia and Herzigovnia and the grant of a consti tuition to these provinces.

The text has not vet been made public. but it is semi-Offi cially declared that a new era k now opening for the annexed provinces. as free rights, according to modern European notions, gre granted. also a local diet and partial tempered suffrage.

AsT. PETERSBURG MEETING.

St. Petersburg March 9-The com ing visit of King Ferdinand of Bugaris to the ear is regarded as peculiarly significant in. view of the situation in the Balkans. This time he comes for the first time as an independent mon arch. and will be received with du. honor. A short time ago. when Grand Duke Michael died. he informed the CZar .of. his desire to attend the fun eral service. and received d cordial in vitation. That visit. if it had taken place. would not have been a state visit. as this will be. Last year King Ferdinand came about the same time. and was received. much to his delight and surprise. with military honors. and when soldiers cried out. We wish you health. your majesty" King Fer dinand's face beamed. and he ex- claimed. ''c'est delicieux" This year he is full-fledged king. and no restric- ton will be placed on the royal hon DTS due him.
 There is no doubt felt here that thorough understanding has been reached between Bulgaria. Servia. ROu- mania. Montenegro and Greece and doubtless when the Bulgarian monarch and the czar meet Russia will be fully informed as to tife situation and wilt be invited to act with the Balkan states when the necessity arises
