Isle OF Man, May II. 1858. His edu-

his native island and in the university
At Liverpool He studied architecture,
but never practiced that profession
Instead, he adopted journalism and
for some years was employed as an
editorial writer on newspapers in I.iv-

became a writer for the magazines and
newspapers of the metropolis. Criti-
cisms, essays and sonncts came from
his pen and ii was not until several
years after his arrival in London that
he tried his hand at novel writing. His
first attempt in this line was Tine
Shadow of a Crime" which was pub

popularity. This was followed by his
famous stories, including THE Deem

after and before his death about the
size Of his fortune look ridiculous I'm the
light OF the figures given when his will
was probated.
II is a striking instance Of the way
mythical millions grow as they are
talked about. one of the commonest

BACK TO OLD ALLEGIANCE.

Recent primaries and elections show
that the Progressive party is losing
strength, while the Republicans are
gaining. There is strong get
together movement afoot which even
the Colonel will not be able to stem ON
his return. The Republican party is
meeting popular expectation in poll
cies. candidates and managers, and the
return to il of those who temporarily
lef, the ranks makes for bright out
look for Republican success in coming
elections.
In New Jersey. the Progressive vote
has fallen off over a hundred thousand
and the Republican increased over fiji
~ thousand.
In Pennsylvania the Progressive
registration has fallen off three
fourths: in Philadelphia there are only
fourteen thousand To hundred thou
sand Republicans; and in pittsburgh
a Republican candidate for mayor de-
teated a Progressive managed by Will
liam Flynn In the Maryland senatorial
primaries, the Republicans east sew
enty thousand To- seven thousand Pro-
gressive votes. Roosevelt beat Taft IT,
both these states.
In California, where there were
scarcely enough Republicans for a Tart
ticket, they have enrolled So far sew
cnty thousand to forty-fiye thousand
Progressives. In Iowa the Republican
vote in the only congressional election
held was near eleven thousand To four
thousand Progressive, where Roosevelt
got nearly fourteen thousand.

594 per cent of deaths among scho u

Michigan needs teachers who are
cmancipated from the health traditions
of the middle ages.
