PAUNCEFOTE DIES AT WASHINGTON

Illness of Many Months Results Fatally, Though Death Was Unexpected. HELD POST FOURTEEN YEARS Demise Comes as a Shock to Official Washington—Diplomat Genial and Popular with All Classes —His Career Had Been a Distinguished One. Lord Pauncefote, British ambassador to the United States, died at the embassy at Washington May 24. The improvement which had been noted in his condition during the past week received a sudden check about 6 o’clock the previous evening, when it wa§ noticed that he was experiencing difficulty in breathing. Dr. Jung, his physician, was immediately sent for, and he decided upon a consultation with a local physician, in the meantime telegraphing for Dr. Osier of Baltimore. In his stead came Dr. Thayer of Johns Hopkins university. The patient’s pulse was still good, and when Dr. Thayer left the embassy at

Lord Pauncefote.

3 o’clock for Baltimore the ambassador was resting so comfortably that a cablegram was sent to his son-in-law, Mr. Bromley, in London, that there was no immediate danger. Soon after 3 o’clock a distinct weakness of the heart developed and his pulse began to collapse. He died so peacefully that it surprised even his physician, who feared that the asthmatic affection would prove troublesome when the end came. As soon as it became generally known that Lord Pauncefote was dead flags were half-masted over the different embassies and legations. At the Arlington hotel, where the visiting Frenchmen who have come to witness the Rochambeau statue unveiling are stopping, the French flag was placed at half-mast. Julian Pauncefote was the third son of the late Robert Pauncefote of Preston Court, Gloucestershire. England, and was born at Munich, Germany, in 1828. He was educated in Paris, Geneva and at Marlborough college. He studied for the bar, to which he was called, at the Inner Temple, in 1852, and joined the Oxford circuit. While practicing in England he was knighted. In 1865 he was appointed attor-ney-general of Hongkong and he acted as chief justice of the Supreme court of that colony in 1869 and again in 1872. The executive and legislative councils of Hongkong passed a vote of thanks to him for his services to the colony. In 1873 he was made chief justice of the Leeward islands, and In 1874 he was appointed legal assistant under secretary of state for the colonies. Two years later he was given the same relative position in the foreign office, and in 1882 he succeeded Lord Tenterden as permanent secretary of state for foreign affairs. In 1889 Lord Pauncefote, then known as Sir Julian Pauncefote, came to the United States to take the place of Lord Sackville as British minister.. In 1893 he was raised to the rank of ambassador and in 1894 he was sworn as a member ’of the privy council. Lord Pauncefote was regarded as an able and tactful diplomat. He was in Washington during the critical period of the Venezuelan controversy in 1895. when a clash between Great Britain and the United States was narrowly averted. It was he who spoke for the foreign ambassadors in art offer of the good services of their countries to mediate with Spain and prevent the war over Cuba. For this act Lord Pauncefote was severely criticised in some quarters and it was said he felt the criticism keenly and that it was one of the causes of his fatal illness. Lord and Lady Pauncefote were the center of the diplomatic set in Washington and their home was the scene of many brilliant meetings of the leading officials of the capital. Mrs. Pauncefote was born in India. She is gifted as a social leader. Four daughters were born of the union.

Why Especially He?

At a committee meeting of the Harvard Musical Association some years ago, one of the members said that hesaw a piece of music in Ditson's window entitled “Give.My Chewing Gum to Gerty.” It was a minute or two after the laugh which followed this announcement had subsided Avhen the venerable Prof. John S. Dwight, now several years dead, looked up, and with wrinkled brow, as one struggling with a mystery, asked: “But why especially to Goethe?”—Boston Transcript.

PARSLEY SHOULD FOLLOW ONIONS

Also, If a Dyspeptic, Spread Melted ChtfM Upon Mince Pie- “ Parsley,” said the restaurateur, “removes the smell of onions.” He frowned portentiously at a waiter who had dropped a plate of ice cream on the red carpet. “Excuse me, won’t you?” he asked, and went and whispered something passionately in the waiter’s ear. On his return he resumed: “Yes, you may eat a bushel of onions, and a little parsley taken afterward will leave you so that Sherlock Holmes himself would be unable to say what you had been feeding on. That is the truth, and I more people were aware of it. For onions, which are the most wholesome things In the world, would be as popular as they are wholesome if this matter of the parsley were more widely known. “Another thing.” went on the man, according to the Philadelphia Record, “old cheese melted slightly makes mince pie digestible. You may be a confirmed dyspeptic, but if you will spread on the top crust of your mince pie a thin layer of rich old English cheese I promise that you may eat the pastry without any aftermath of remorse and pain.”

Burning Head.

Star City, Ark., May 26th.—A very remarkable case has just occurred here. Mr. W. H. McFalls has been suffering severely for two years with an ailment that puzzled the doctors and everybody. The trouble seemed to be all in his head, which had a burning sensation all the time. Sometimes this burning pain in the head would be worse than at other times, but it never left him. At last he tried a new remedy called Dodd’s Kidney Pills and was agreeably surprised to find that the burning gradually disappeared. An attack of La Grippe has laid him up for the last few weeks, but Dodd’s Kidney Pills have banished his old trouble entirely. His son George used a few of the Pills which his father did not need and they have done him so much good that he says he would not take ten cents a pill for the few he still has left.

Hurt Trade In Mirrors.

“The trade in fine mirrors is no longer what it used to be,” says a dealer. “Twenty-five on thirty years ago every well-to-do family bought, at least, once in its life, a Belgian or a French mantel mirror or pier glass, flamed in gold or ebony, and worth from S2OO to SSOO. But now families ne longer find it necessary to invest their money in that way. Our builders, within the last two or three decades, have taken more and more to building mirrors into the houses, just as they build mantels or doors in them.”

The “Know-Nothing" Era.

The late Dr. Charles A. Phelps of Boston, came near being the last survivor of the peculiar “Know-Nothing” era in Massachusetts. He was one of the original “Know-Nothing” leaders. He later became the presiding officer, in turn, of both branches of the legislature, and hcqujred an Importance in politics which resulted in giving him office under the Republican national administration.—New York Post.

Ancient Boats in Ireland.

Ireland seems to be the burying ground of an ancient navy. Another of those remarkable boats, hewn out of the trunk of an oak, and nearly fifty feet long, has recently been found, in a fine state of preservation, by men cutting peat in County Mayo. The peat seems to have wonderful preservative powers, the boat being thought by antiquarians to be twenty centuries old.

It Will Go Now.

Now we know that wireless telegraphy is a go. Somebody has come forward to prove that Marconi is not the inventor of it. To the housewiie wno has not yet become acquainted with the new things of everyday use in the market and who is reasonably satisfied with the old, we would suggest that a trial of Defiance Cold Water Starch be made at once. Not alone because it is guaranteed by the manufacturers to be superior to any other brand, but because each 10c package contains 16 ozs., while all the other kinds contain but 12 ozs. It is safe to say that the lady who once uses Defiance Starch will use no other. Quality and quantity must win. “The Desert” is the special subject relating to the Great Southwest which is ti> be discussed in the June Century by Ray Stannard Baker. The article will constitute a sort of biography of the desert, which is treated from the 'commercial, scenic, and intimate points of view. An English aeronaut who made an ascent in his balloon was gradually borne by the wind into the very heart of a thunderstorm. He gives a vivid account of this unusual experience in the June-number of Pearson’s Magazine. Bryant is said to have written “Thanatopsis” in a week. The work of translating Homer consumed four or five of his best years.

THUNDER MOUNTAIN, IDAHO, A MINERAL TREASURE HOUSE.

Fortunes of Gold Are Being Found In the Center of tho State of Idaho. Thunder Mountain, the new Idaho gold field, is the most promising mineral region in the United States. The richness of this country was not known until late ijn the fall of 1901, after heavy snows had closed all avenues by which the region might be reached except upon snowshoes. Notwithstanding this fact, Colonel W. H. Dewey of Idaho, and others who have had wide experience in mining, have expended vast sums in the purchase of undeveloped claims. The surface indications are marvelously rich. These gold bearing ledges, from 100 to 300 feet, will run through a mountain parallel to each other. In the Dewey mine, this vast deposit has values running from $7 to $4,000 per ton, and the plates of the 10-stamp mill which rum; on the ore have to be cleaned of their accretions of gold every six hours. In a few weeks two miners last spring cleaned up $7,500 in placer gold, using a small cotton hose to wash the gravel, the water coming from a small reservoir on the mountain side. The mineral zone covers a large section of hitherto unexplored country, and is about 175 miles from a railroad. There are five routes leading to the Thunder Mountain country, viz.: via Ketchum. Mackay, Boise and Weiser, Idaho, and Redrock, Montana, all on the Oregon Short Line railway. A great rush to this mecca for miners is predicted, and “On to Thunder Mountain” will be as familiar as the old watchword, “Pike’s Peak or Bust,” as soon as the snows disappear so that the camp may be reached with supplies, which will probably be between May 15 and June 1. A scarcity of provisions at present keeps miners away, as flour at SSO per sack is considered somewhat of a luxury even in the golden land. Surrounding Thunder Mountain is a large section of country adapted to agriculture and stock-raising. D. E. Burley, general passenger agent of the Oregon Short Line railroad, at Salt Lake City, sent an expert to report upon that country, and will cheerfully give any information required as to the routes and general conditions in and around the great mining camp.

IRONING A SHIRT WAIST.

Not infrequently a young woman finds it necessary to launder a shirt waist at home for some emergency when the laundryman or the home servant cannot do it- Hence these directions for ironing the waist: To iron summer shirt waists so that they will look like new it is needful to have them starched evenly with Defiance starch, then made perfectly smooth and rolled tight in a damp cloth, to be laid away two or three hours. When ironing have a bowl of water and a clean piece of muslin beside the ironing board. Have your iron hot, but not sufficiently so to scorch, and absolutely clean. Begin by ironing the back, then the front, sides and the sleeves, followed by the neckband and the cuffs. When wrinkles appear apply the damp cloth and remove them. Always iron from the top of the waist to the bottom. If there are plaits In the front Iron them downward, after first raising each one with a blunt knife, and with the edge of the iron follow every line of stitching to give it •distinctness. After the shirt waist is ironed it should be well aired by the fire or in the sun before it 1b folded and put away, says the Philadelphia Inquirer. In 1845 there were no female and child laborers in the marble industry of France. To-day they constitute 24 per cent of the force.
