early today. A procession was formed
and marched through the streets, the

cupied by Colombians and threw

the affair. The city is quiet today.

Lowther was married in 1856 to So
clety woman who is sad to make a
model hostess. He was first elected to
parliament in 1855 az representative of
Penrith, for which Scottish constituency
he still sits. To assist him IN his de-
oisions he has four little volumes which
contain the rulings OF ail the speakers of

so, far Is one remembers. this IS the first
time that lis jmpa,'t'aiisy ever has been
called III question. even by The turbulent
Irish members.
No one c2n accuse the speaker of a
lack of pluck. anyway, for more than
once, in important crises, he has decided
against the powers to whom he owes his
continuance in office. In 1905. for ex-
ample, just after the speakers election
by his conservative friends; A. J. Bal

be overdueI He introduced resolutions
laying down the lines on which the
scheme woyld be based and proposed that
these resolutions should be taken. not
separately but In one debate as a whole.
The liberals objected and appealed to
the speaker, who ruled without fiinching
against his political friends, declaring
that each resolution must be debated by
itself. This ruling killed the scheme and
fastened iBalfour's resignation.
1t would be the basest dattery to de-
scribe thf speaker as wit, yet he pos
sesses az brand of humor which vastly
pleases the house, and often brings ali
parties out gracefully from complicated
situation. During the first suffragette
disturbances. for instance, it was decided

The ''perquisites" mentioned above are
only a few. however. of those enjoyed by
the speaker. On being appointed to the
chair a generous nation awards him So

ceiyes an allowance of 1000 ounces Of
plate and $500 to keep him in station

writes more letters than even Mayor
Gaynor. Another queer graft he enjoys
is an annual gift OF two hogsheads Of
claret wine, and buck and doe killed
in the royal preserves at Windsor also
are sent to him every year. Again, at
Christmas time, the speakers heart is
gladdened by the Clothmakers Company,
one of the ancient guilds OF the city
OF London, which solemnly presents him
with a generous length of the best broad
cloth made in England
Perhaps all these emoluments cOmpen-

bored and occasionally being made to look
and feel fool. and perhaps they don't.
