lost noble man and good citi-

of his life begins. until the day of
his death he was ever as true to
his convinctions as the needle is 10
the pole, modest in all things. IN
pretentious, firm. but giving Of
fierce to none.
Along the quiet sequestered vale

Townsend Speech at Party To Lemkie

Because objection was taken to At

Congressman Townsend at a surprise
party to Justices Lemkie and DeGaw
in Pfeiffer's garden, Wednesday night,
all political talk was eliminated. and
a dozen canned A6peeches remained un-
opened.
Aside from the Webster incident,
the affair was very pleasant one. II
was planned by Justice Louis OFT to
launch the campaign of his colleagues
for denomination. Justices Lemkie
and DeGaw were each summoned by
Marriage License Clerk Alex H. Stew
art to perform q ceremony for f1c-
titious couple across the street from
Pfeiffer's, and on arriving there they
we're kept In ignorance OF each other 8
presence till crowd OF friends ar
rived, handcuffed them together and
led them to the hall. Frank T. Lodge
was master OF ceremonies, and called
on each of the justices. After some
stunts" by the sheriffs quartet, AL.
Green's orchestra, Leo Lester and
other entertainers, Webster was called
as the first Of long list OF speakers,
most of whom were candidates.
Webster said that Townsend had
been called insurgent and classed as
rebel, but PREDICTED that time would
show that what had been called In
surgency was merely progressive Re-
publicanism. He declared that man
was entitled to express his own opin-
ion and not that of machine, and
that Michigan was capable of settling
its owns affairs, without interference
from outside.
The speech did not sit we'll on some
OF those present, and County Auditor
Oakman undertook to "rebuke" Web
ster.
What | have to say is BRIEF" said
Oakman. II have a candidate for
governor in whom l am deeply in
terested, but would not for any con-
sideration mention his name here, be-
cause We are here to honor Justice
Lemkie and Justice DeGaw, and no
one else"

ALEXANDRA PAYS FIRST
VISIT TO AMERICAN
Surprises Countess Of STAFFORD Gar
dening In Old Clothes and Per-
n,ts No Change.

LONDON. Aug. 25.-Cora the Coun-
tess of STAFFORD, who Is one OF the
most popular and successful Ameri-
can hostesses, was the recipient OF 4
special honor a few days ago. Lady
STAFFORD and her husband, Mr.. Ken
nard. have taken Houghton Hall, Nor
folk, from Marquis Cholmondley. The
Dowager Queen Alexandra went over
from Sandringham and spent the en-
tire afternoon with Lady STAFFORD.
This is the first visit Alexandra has
paid since the death OF King Edward
and II came as complete surprise.
Lady STAFFORD was engaged In gar
dcning and dressed In old clothes
when the Queen Mothers motor came
up the drive. Lady Stanford attempt
ed to run indoors and change her
clothes, but Queen Alexandra smiling
ly refused to allow II and insisted on
viewing the countess at gardening.
The queen looked beautiful in her
widow weeds, but her deafness has
increased to such an extent that
everyone who addresses her Is obliged
to shout without appearing to do so,
as the queen Is very sensitive on this
subject, Those knowing Alexandra
intimately say she Is deeply panied
by the three attacks Kerr Hardie, the
leader of the Socialists, made on her
ond against paying her a pension of
$3.50, 900 yearly. II is well known to
the royal household that Alexandra is
prodigal in gifts to charities and Miss
Charlotte Knollys vainly tries to pre-
vent her helping unworthies.

On Aug. 8 he declined to be candi-

of the Homecoming celebration OF the
city's sixtieth anniversary was COM
plete success yesterday. Despite the
threatening weather all day, the big
civic pageant came of on scheduled
time yesterday afternoon. Last even

repeated. It was the most magnificent
pageant ever offered in this section

crowd that ever assembled In this
city. It was more than two miles

even longer and much more elabor-
ate.
It was estimated yesterday that
mere than 1000 home-comers had reg

BALMORAL TO BE KING
GEORGES VACATION SPOT
VlctorIa's Peaceful Retreat Now to
Become Scene Of Much Royal
Recreation.

EDINBURG, Aug. 25.-King George
Is expected to make considerable
changes at Balmoral Castle, the royal
residence tn the Highlands. Being an
enthusiastic fisherman and deer stalk
er. he Is likely to spend much Of his
vacation" at Balmoral, where deer
forests and salmon rivers are included
in the royal estate.
Balmoral was acquired early in her
reign by Queen Victoria, who used Il
as summer retreat of the peaceful
domestic order, and only entertained
there close relatives and a few init
mate friends.
King Edward never liked Balmoral.
and carefully avoided the place after
his accession. preferring to spend his
holidays on the continent at lively re-
sorts like Marienbad and Biarritz. His
son, however, cares little about the
continent, has no need for cures" and
wishes only to get as much sport as
possible. King George Is one OF the
best shots IN the country, and Is
nearly as successful with the rod and
line.
