and William Siddons, whom she later
married, played Medows. She made
other appearances on the stage as a
Young girl. She was considered very
beautiful and attracted much atten-
ton. Perhaps that was the reason
why her parents objected to her
preference for Siddons. He was con-
sidered very good looking and was
a versatile actor. 1t used to be said
that he could play anything from
Hamlet to harlequin. Whatever the
objection he was discharged from the
company and she was sent to work as
a lady's maid to break up the attach
ment. but in 1878 parental objections
were overcome and they were mar
ried.
Mrs. Siddons's married life was
very happy but it was filled with
hard work and many disappointments
as we'll as great qualifications and
success. She made her first London
appearance as Portia, in IT'S, and
ten years later appeared as Lady
Macbeth, her greatest role. She left
the stage in 1872.
Sarah Siddons has been said to
have commanded admiration rather
than affection, but in spite of that she
had a host of friends in private life
and is ranked as one of the greatest
tragic actresses of all times.

NEW NEWS OF YESTERDAY
An Almost Forgotten Vice-Presidential Candidate

so, the compliment was returned
when the convention nominated John
Cochran for President.
1T was an anti-slaVery and an
abolition ticket and it represented the
opposition of the abolition element in
the North to the policy adopted by
President Lincoln, Notwithstanding
the fact that Lincoln had, as he de-
clared, as a war measure proclaimed
the emancipation of all slaves who
We're held in slavery in all parts of
the country where the flag of the
United States was not recognized.
Fremont had endeared himself to
this element by his proclamation of
emancipation of the slaves in the
military district over which he was in
command at the beginning of the war.
Cochran supplemented Fremonts
reputation by a single speech which
he made near Washington a short
time after the first battle of Bull Run.
He was in command of a New York
regiment and he made a speech to his
command in which he declared that it
was the duty of Mr. Lincoln and his
administration to arm the slaves
That remark fixed the attention of
the country for some time upon John
Cochran. 1t identified him with the
abolitionists. Therefore when an or
ganization was perfected for the pur-
pose of placing in nomination Repub-
licans who were opposed to President
Lincoln and his policy, Fremont was
named as the candidate for President
on the advice of Cochran because Ere
mont had liberated the slaves in his
military district, and Cochran was
nominated for president because
at about the same time that Fremont
tried to emancipate slaves in Missouri
Cochran had advocated the arming
of the slaves.
well, the bottom dropped out of
this organization not long after Ere
mont and Cochran were nominated
for President and Vice-President.
Fremont became associated with GER
tain mining interests and Cochran
thought it expedient to join the Dem
ocratic party"

the BROOKLYN standard. .unIon:

FROM the brooklyn StdHuufu- Union.
The chief claim in behalf of the
direct primary IS that 1t makes it eX-
tremely difficult and at times impos-
sible for the bosses to nominate their
own men. thus seemingly putting all
aspirants on the same footing, II at
least gives every man a chance to be
heard and have himself weighed by
the members of his own party.
The principal criticism of the pri-
mary is its great cost. 1t is a won
derful consumer of money and the
poor man is at a distinct disadvant-
age because he has not the means TO
make himself known and his ideas on
public matters understood. So while
theoretically the direct primary equal

Nearly every State which has had
experience of some years with the pri-
mary method Of making nominations
has noted its eostliness. Iowa has

Electric Driven Ship.

Coal-drlven and oil-driven ships are
to be followed, it seems, by ships
operated by electricity. The fireboats
of Chicago are both propelled and
steered through the crowded Chicago
river by electricity; there is the new
electric-d driven United States navy
collier Jupiter, and the ship Tyne
mount, recently completed in Eng
land and destined to ply the waters
of the Great Lakes of North America,
is one of the largest vessels of this
type. The advantage of electric pro-
pulsion. the Electrical World says, is
greater hexibility of control and the

Advertising in China

modes of travel, as the sampan, junk,
wheelbarrow, ricksha, and the more
modern motor boat, large steamer,
bicycle, motorcycle, automobile, and
locomotive A novel idea is the recent
method instituted by this company of
giving to the ricksha coolie small
square rug to fit the bottom section of
the ricksha on which the feet rest in
riding. On this rug are the Chinese
characters for the name of brand OF
cigarette or of the company, with the
company's chop. AS these rugs with
the chop thereon are plainly visible
to the passenger riding in the ricksha,
it Is at once seen what an adVertiS-
ing value this small rug has with
out any further cost to the company.
All matter OF advertising, whatever
its form, has the chop of the firm as
the predominant feature. Too much
stress cannot be laid on the impor-
tance of observing this idea. Prob
ably four -fifths of the prospective
customers will be unable to read Chi
nese, and if it is such as to please
the Chinese, and has a good reputa-
tion among his friends, he will be
sure to become acquainted with 1t,
and buy the article without any
thought as to its quality. To further
instance the value of a chop or trade
mark In China, a friend relates the
following: He had gone to view a
cotton-spinning mill in Shanghai.
When he arrived at the room in
which the yarn was being packed and
labeled he noticed that two different
| labels were being used. One of
them, named the Lion Brand" would
| be placed on several packages of
yarn, and then the other label, named
| the Two Girls" would be placed on
the next several packages OF yarn.
| Upon inquiring the reason for this,
| he was informed that the Lion
| Brand" was we'll known at Shanghai,
and that that was the only kind that
would sell there, while at Hang
chow the 1.-TWO Girls" brand was so
well known that no other brand but
! that would sell.

The Emancipation OF childhood.

From the Springfield Republican
How long will it be before some
school of earnest reformers takes up
seriously Bernard Shaw's latest pro-
posal for the emancipation of child
hood which has given England a little
stir? The family he says, is hum
bug. The home is jail, and the
school is prison. Children are
packed off to school simply to get rid
Of their noise, and they learn nothing
there that is of the least value What
is the remedy Why truancy, to be
sure! Let the children run away
whenever they feel like it. and pro-
vide for their comfort while they are
roaming. Let there be a hospice in
every town where the Wanderer can
apply for food and shelter.
First, then, ] lay it down as a
prime condition of sane society. OBJ

and it's passports, and gets what II
requires not by begging and pilfering
but from responsible agents of the
community as of right, and with some
/ formal ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF the obliga

being recorded, the child can roam
