The youngest daughter of the stern
old Puritan "Ironsides," Frances
Cromwell, was a source of much anx-
iety and much parental pride and joy
to her famous father, and it must
have been with sigh of relief that
he witnessed her marriage to the
young aristocrat, Robert Rich. Fran
cess most distinguished sutton was
no less a. parsonage than Charles H.,
whose father Frances's father had
brought to the block but a few years
before. Still, it occurred to Charles
that he could overlook this for the
sake of the fair Frances, especially as
marriage with her might so mend
the breach between him and Crom-
well as to make it possible for Charles
to sit on the throne OF his fathers

more wisely. NO. he said, when the
subject was brought before him;

NEW NEWS OF YESTERDAY
How Lord Randolph Churchill Gathered Information

In which I thoroughly agreed with

Former Postmaster General Thomas
L. James began, with this reference to
Mr.. Heaton, an anecdote telling of his
experience with Lord Randolph
Churchill shortly after the marriage
of Lord Randolph to Jennie Jerome,
of New York,
Mr. Heaton told me-" said GEN
eral James, "that Lord Randolph
Churchill had an extraordinary gift
for collecting facts, not only by read
ing books, but by keeping himself in
him information, and furthermore,
that he was able by unusual and
really intuitive processes of mind
thoroughly to digest and assimilate
into orderly and systematic relation a
great many facts which he obtained
by asking questions of those who
would give him accurate answers.

Lord Randolph, for I had been told
that in England he was looked upon
as a man who had a great career in

nearly 1000 pounds was condemned

tainted or otherwise unfit for human
food. In addition to what was actu-

There was a limited import of salt

"While it is permissible to believe
says the governor, that the action
taken by the government has had the
effect of checking the activities of the

for the time being, it would be by no

and the board of health of the city
of Goteborg, Sweden, 10000 visits of

Guiding nearly all the places in the
city where food products were sold,

of the inspections, 1914 parcels of meat
and other foodstuffs, weighing in all
1900 pounds, were condemned. On
fifty-six occasions the condemned
goods were found in stores and ships.
thirty-five times in sausage factories,
seven times in Warehouses and six
times at the railway stations and on
vessels. In all except one case the
cause of condemnation is reported to
have been putrefaction.
