FAMOUS PEOPLE BY FANNIE M, LOTHROP Dbmay_ lyaepn emALw,,plc Cn, KRTHUR J. -BALEQUR The Evolution of -a Prime Plinister The Prime Minister of Great Britain, Arthur James Balfour, is a.strange paradox. A power In politics, he cares nothing for the game; with little or no ambition, he has risen to a position second only to that of the King; of a dreamy, philosophic temperament, he has proved himself a man of instant action in every emergency. ' He was born in 1848 in Scotland, the son of a wealthy Scotohman, and Lady Cecil, sister of the late Lord Salisbury. At Eton and Cambridge he won no medals for special brilliancy, and no microscopic examination re- vealed a germ of future• greatness. He was a member of "The Souls,' a society of enthusiasts vainly seeking the "ultimate" among the list of life's; unattainables. When twenty-six be entered Parliament, and was bored and cynical, taking neither himself nor his work seriously; a spectator of life rather than a struggler. As the weak member of "the Fourth Party," he was the good-natured butt of the House and was usually summed up by, his fel- lows as "clever but hopelessly lazy." In 1886, to the amazement and amuilement of England, Salisbury, his uncle, named him the 'successor of Sir Michael Hicks -Beach, Chief Secretary for Ireland. This post that had brought the snow of age to the heads of strong Hien and had even killed some of them in the fierce days of the "Land, League," was given to this young, gentle, easy-going individual. The Irish members smiled knowingly and rubbed their hands' in the glee of anticipa- tion—but it was all premature. Daniel was surely thrown into the lion's den, but the lions had not reckoned on the marvellous transformation. The indolent, careless manner of Balfour suddenly fell from him as if it were a magic mantle. He stood before them a man of keen judgment, iron will, vigorous and virile force and a master in executive power. He braved alike their taunts, their threats, their insolence and their abuse until they; became tired. They were like fairy bullets that hit him but did not hurt him. His firmness, liberality and good sense at last won his enemies. From onehighposition tot another he rose without any seeming effort, till his present honors fell at his feet in 1902. Balfour is a man of deep relig- ious spirit, sweet and gentle in nature, serious and serene in temperament, simple- and unaffected, seemingly unconscious of his strength, a philosopher turned statesman, and so sensitized to the great realities of life as to be uni mindful of many things that absorb thewholelife of smaller men.

After the ceremony was per- formed and hearty congratulations the company was invited to the dining' room to the well laden tables, to partake of the wedding dinner, which was very neatly prepared by the bride's mother. The bride 'looked (harming in a beaatifel suit of drab ladies' cloth, with white silk waiot trimmed with overlaoe and chiffon, while the bridesmaid's costume wee of light blue crepe de chem. Both ladies had beautiful bMquen of white and pink roses. In the evening about forty more invited guests assembled when games, dancing, singing and other =memento were kept up. Music on the violin,, was supplied by L. Taylor, N,`Dunoaaeon, H. Gorealitz, L. Gaynor and on the organ by Misses Henry, Gaynor and Coates. The home was very neatly decorated with evergreens. After lnnob the bride and bridesmaid abanged their costumes, the bride's being - of white pique and the beideemaid'e white - muslin, trimmed with iaoe and lace insertion, The prep. ante were very numerous and costly showing the high esteem in whioh the bride was held.

Wednesday's dailies say : — It is emphatically stated in St, Peters- burg that the Russian fleet hes lef0Han. kohe Bay andthat its whereabonte ie unknown; In view of previous Rueeiaa. reports that Admiral Rojeetveneky had left Frenob neutral waters, reporto whiob subsequently turned out to be false, not much reliance tan be placed upon these statements. Admiral Rojeetveneky is evidently following the taotioe he pursued no no. oesefolly et Kamranh Bay. Ordered away from Honkohe Bay, he leftthere on the Oth, but returned, and according to Japanese information, was quietly at anchor there on the 12th. There is no doubt that Rojestvenaky"e continued penman in French watere le doe to his desire to allow Nebogatoff'e squadron to refit and take on supplies before pro. carding on the final journey Northward. And whet then ? Die meeting cannot under nay oiraumeteenee be much longer delayed, Bnt will there be a general naval battle or a Darien of ocean skit. miebeo ? With Togo's andonbted infer. iority in battleehipe—againet hie tour the Roeniane can present seven—it is reason, able to expect that the Japauoee Admiral Will withhold hie armored vegetate of every kind until he Mas fully toted the possibilities of hie torpedoes ; bat if be does not meet with euaoeee here, then pir00mstanaeo may compel him to bring his armored force into play against the andiminiehed Remise fleet. He may My by rapid movements to outmanoeuvre the Russian, thereby effecting a prelim ineryredootion of force or creating au opportunity to (lose at advantage. Again he may close at once with the Russian fleet in a general melee, which ie the easier ooaree, but which leaves to the Admiral very little responsibility till the ootoome is settled. It is more probable, though, that Togo will exhalant every method of tactics before exposing hie fleet to the chances of a general battle. In all these weeke that Rojestven. sky has been drifting abont in French waters nothinghas been heard of Togo, which argues that be ie close to Japanese territory, where ho ash -nom mand all contrite of information, and away from the regular trade routes. Formosa, of coarse, offers good harbor. ape and exoaptional ehelter,-for, the inland being ander martial law, all the ports and cables are in the Mande of the Japanese, thus ;nearing that no infor- metton of the fleet's presence aan get out, 1/11013011 CHIVES.
