As the re- sult of a family conference her husband arrived in Paris a few days ago, and is exsing all of his influence to persuade her to return immediately to the United States. • But the beautiful little woman in- iormed her friends that she would not leave Paris, no matter what happened. She occupies the house of James Still- man, her father-in-law, in the Rue Murille, for which she has mode large purchases of furniture and paintings at reckless prices during the last month. She has spent .$50,000 for house linen alone during that period. But when the young matron bought thirty hats at $60 a piece an &plana- tion was demanded.

He was chosen leader of the ( leue•ra] Opposition in ancees:ion to Sir \\'illiaut llureotrrt in February, 1800. The Boer war proved a stumbling block to his administration. but notwithstand- ing the differences between Liberal im- perialists and. other. Liberals over this question, It unanimous vote of confi- dence in his leadership was carired. at a Meeting of the Liberal party held at the Reform Club in July. 1901. In 1902 a passage of words took place between Juni and Lord Rosebery over the doctrine of the "clean slate" in re- gard to the Irish question and other pub- lic questions, and the Liberal League was formed.

London, April 27.—In view of the an- nouncement. of the Government that it will, at the nett general election ask the country for authority to deal with the question of Irish self-government, and that it will establish Roman Catho- lic schools, John Redmond, the National- ist leader, has withdrawn his appeal to the Irish voters in the northwest divi- sion of Manchester not to support Win- ston Churchill, who is seeking re-elec- tion upon his appointment to the Presi- dency of the Board of Trade. He has sent a manifesto on behalf of the 'United Irish League, stating that as Mr. Church- ill had declared, on Premier Asquith's authority, that the Government would put Home Rule before the electors at the next generalelection, and, as Mr. Churchill's ,personal pledges to -support Home Rule were, 011 the, whole, satisfac- tory, the league calls upon Nationalists to vote for him; The Rome,v Catholic vote, however, will not be .solid for Mr. Churchill. The Iota' Catholic Federation has adopted the clergy's manifesto, and the vote is likely to be split between all three can- didates. NO WEDDING BELLS FOR HER, Dufferin Woman, Jilted by Black smith Swain, Wins Her Suit. Orangeville despatch: The Dufferin Sprang Assizes opened here this after- noon before Mr. Justice Britton, and the ease which created the greatest interest was a breach of promise suit brought by Miss Charlotte Barbaree, of the Township of least Luther, against Joseph L. Baton,' a blacksmith in the Township of West Luther. Apparently the de- fendant batt no defence to present, for neither he nor his counsel appeared in court, and alter the presentation of the plaintiff's evidence the jury retired. Af- ter an hour's deliberation they brought in a verdict of 000 and costs. Miss Ilerbaree is the daughter of J. L. Barbaree, farmer, of Bast Luther, and is apparently in the neighborhood of 30 years of age, and. of prepossessing appearance. .According to her testimony Eaton began to pay his attentions to her in May, 1906, and continued to do so until the 24th of May, 1907, when he suddenly stopped his regular visits. In June, 100t3 they became engaged, ac- cording to iter story, and from that time till he left her he'had been in the habit of visiting her every three weeks. The wedding was to have taken place last June, and plaintiff swore that she had made preparations for the marriage. The defendant, she said, was a widower, 29 years of age, without a family. Mr. Justice Britton charged strongly in favor of the plaintiff, pointing out that in view of the fact that the de- fendant had admitted his promise of marriage, and that the girl had denied ever having released him, she was en- titled to damages for injury to her feelings.
