'United .States Senator William. A.
Roach, who three months ago was
believed to be dying from a malig-

seventeen physicians pronounced in-

physicians who 'have charge of his
case say that Ile may yet recover.
An X-ray machine was placed in his
room at the atintingtoe, and electric
treatment was given doily, the wire
springs of the bed acting as con-
ductors. A tube was inserted in the
incision made by the fernier -opera-
tion, and through this the X-ray
was applied to tho affected part.
The apparatus was so regulated that
while it gave forth a strong light
there was no heat. The attempt was
being made to dry up the turner,
which the surgeons had failed to re-
move thoroughly with the knife.
Gradually the dangerous symptoms
have been lessened, and at Leat there
is genuine ground for hope. .

Lord Steatheona, whose peerage,

as a .well-deserved diamond jubilee
honor, has always been famed, for
his cordial support of the movement
for the higher education of womeu.
As chancellor of McGill University in.
opened that most important of Can-
adian colleges to the gentler sex, en -
'dotting the women's department
with $50,000.. Subsequently he gave
$104,000 for the founding of the
Royal Victoria • College for Women.
At the banquet glean to celebrate
the latter event, Lady Aberdeen
paid a glowing tribute to the gen-
erous benefactor in a toast to "The
Makers of Canada." • Now the coun-
tess, good though she is, and clever
too, has her pet hobbies, and "equate'
ity of tbe sexes" is one of them. She
closed her address by proving that
women were in every way •"equal -
:to their brothers. It was Lord
Stratieeona's turn next. “My toast
is to the ladies,. God bless 'cm !"
said the old pioneer. • "They used to•
