It was In Canton that Mr. Mc Kinley gained'his first professional lau rels. There also he wooed and married the faithful wlfo who -now survives him, and there his highest honors sought him out. lt was in January,-1S71, that William McKinley.married Miss Ida Saxton, the belle of Canton. Her grandparents a century ago ware among the founders of the town, and there the. young couple N . led a life that all who observed it said j was both charming and ideal in its ? beauty and tenderness. Here their only I children were horn-Katie, whose birth occurred oh Christmas day, 1871, and Ida, born in 1873. Both daughters died ? in early childhood, and tho terrible j shock of these two deaths In quick !

Goldwin Smith still retains his wonderful mental grasp of affairs, his physical vigor and his disposition to show mankind their errors und hold up to them tludr failures, both as individ uals and collectively as? bodies politic. Educated at Eton and Oxford und graduating from the university In IRIS, Goldwin Smith was' admitted to the bar, but never practiced. He was reglus professor ut Oxford from lSi*8 to I860. While at Oxford he waa cl ?aen aa special instructor in history of the then Prince of Wules, now King Edward VII. of England, for whom he has always pro- - fessed a wunn admiration. In 1SGI he made his first visit to America on a lecturing tour through the States. .An en thusiastic* reception wus accorded him. Returning to England with the degree of LL. D., bestowed by Brown univer sity, lu? resu tied h!? chair .at Oxford, hut two years later yielded io hts inclination to ally himself with the great and growing nation a?rons the Atlantic and came to this country again In 1868 to accept the chair ot English and constitu tional history at Cornell University. In 1871. he exchanged his chair at Corned for that of a nonresident professor at that Institution. * ? Although on Englishman to the core, with all an Englishman's love for native land and country life and rever ence for certain British Institutions, yet Professor Smith was iconoclastic aa to certain others, and he expatriated himself of his own volition. Unlike that other " grand old mun." Gladstone, who rose to eminence'despite the oppres sive traditions and Institutions of his native iBlnnd and never loft it save for a brief trip abroad, Goldwin Smith could not breathe freely an atmosphere vitiated by monarchical exhalations. He was too loyal a "Britisher" to desire the destruction of a fabric lt, which were Interwoven wo many dynastic Ideas deterrent of progress and too pronounced lu his views to continue t J reside beneath a flag which ly pilled and symbolized them all. So he came to America to Inhal? the air of freedom: but. Unding Jt altogether too rarefied for his Hritish lungs, he* compromised WflS himself, though not with his opinions, and took up hi? residence In Canada. T?tere for the past thirty years Goldwin Smith has continued lo reside, a Canad!;'ri In name only, a pronounced "Britisher" 'In his views of things and an American in his admiration of our "institutions," though apparently much against his will. While, superficially viewed, Coldwln Smith Ss a paradox and a contrariety, to those" who have studied his writ ings and heeded his monitions he |* consistent and true, ror while at times he may be influenced by th? prejudices naturally cnns>-c-.i : : ui"'.i his insular hirth and education, ns a profound student of history he judges the world nnd Its doings from the rent?te sm nd point of the cosmic observer. With vision clarified by a long continued survey cf events, he- reasons from fundamental facts and "applies the principle of historical development-the prog r.-Ks of mankind through the if? .?..ti of individu?is-tb-present day,1 politics. To understand his concision"of history is to understand lo a degree his puyltion toward thc events of his times." True u? tho needle to the pole os to his conviction*, yet those convictions a.o sometimes as a rock in the path of the Individual und cause him to stumble. The laws of cause and effect, unvarying, immutable, may Le applied with perfect safety to an impersonal proposi tion, but when they reach th<- iudlvtduul thot Individual ls liable to squirm and to protest. It ls this tendency to speak out that .vii len ls in him and to enter his protest In advance of most other .men that lias made him so unpopular with the musses, as, for instance, in Canada In advocating annexation. They are prone to look upon him in Canada as a "charlutania Rhadamathus" seeking to thrust his opinion upon his adopted fellow countrymen unasked, because, forsooth, lie predicts, baring his argument upon what he believes is Inevitable in the . cause of national development, that Canada will ultimately merge her national existence with that of the'United States. The chief trouble ls, apparently, that the ripest minds In Canada are .sVidcntly of the same opinion, though far from willing io admit lt. On the part of tho t'niied Kt^te?, he admits, there is no strong desire for annexation, but the inevitable is bound in happen, and so what's the use of combating It? .At the same time he has always'dur lng.all th? years he ha* been calling attention to the inevitableness of annexation'been telling the Canadians to soothe themselves and not ?et excited. In his famous speech ten years ago oin "Jingoism." for instance, he said: "!.t seems that nothing can conjure the specter of American aggression. We were told the other day that we were lying under tho colossal shadow of a rapacious neighbor whose greedy maw was gaping to devour us. Colossal our ned gi . ber and his shadow may be, but where ate the signs of his rapacity? At the clone of the civil war the Americans had a vast arid victorious army: they had also a groat fleet; yet they showed no disposition to attack us." Such language ls nat calculated to make friends with thc Canadian extremists, neither are his remarks anent England's imperialism in the nature of halm for previous wounds Inflicted by his rapier, for he believes and s:\ys that her colonies should be left . wc-k out their own salvation without interference or intervention'of any sort. The so called Imperial chain of colonies, he declares, ls but "a rope of sand that sooner or later will fall arnrt and leave the mother country without a friend." Taking wide flights In his studies and sweeping the world's horizon in his researches, Goldwin Smith cannot but treat of sociological subjects, and, as every one knows, these are like fire and tow to many Individuals. Neither has he steered with too much care between thc Scylla and Charybdis of religious topics, for he bas taken a bold stand and assumed an undaunted front, hewing to the line as he finds lt, regardless of whom the chips' shall strike. Yet. airain. In hts essays cn social questions like anarchism, communism und socialism lils analyses of their underlying qualities arc revelations to even the closest student, though their conclusions are not always In harmony with tho opinions of the majority. "The ostentatlous rich." he maintains, "belong to the dangerous class as truly as the bomb throwers." With lt all, however, Goldwin Smith believes in* "equality." rightly construed, and In the ultimate triumph of the orderly progression of events. So this man makes for ultimate righteousness, whatever dissension ho may cause In pussing. When he shall huve left this mundane sphere, lt will be the better for his having lived and worked in Uv v* Although known as a thorough cosmopolitan in the best senses. Professor Smith is not a globe trotter. fee lives 4 quietly In an Ivy wnlled. tdd time house, said .to be the first ever .built In Toronto and called the Grange, set back from noise and traille nmid the giant trees of a beautiful park. Here, except for a brief seqson in midwinter at Lakewood, N. J., or In some more soutnot-n resort, he passes lils time in study with due modicum of rest and recre ation. Canada may rot love him altogether, but she ls proud cf him. The Grange, which forms so fit an environment for a man of studious habits, came to Professor Smith with his wife, who was Mrs. Harriet Boulton, daughter'of Thomas Dixon of, Roston. He was married to her in 1875. l?ense and grounds are bits of old England transported ta Toronto, and within the former are many tokens of tho artistic and literary tastes of its occupants. A large library, of course, forms the chief furnishing of the author's spuclous Gtudy, the rooms are filled with antique .mahogany furniture and -the walls are adorned with portraits of Professor Smlth'3 friends, who comprise most of England's worthies of the past half century. , While he hus retired from active participation in affairs political and literary, Goldwin Smith has not ceased to use his pen and still writes articles for papers and magazines with all his old time vigor. ConsIst?nt to the laat he hns not hesitated to denounce the methods of the United States in the Philippines as well as those of Great Brit ain in Souih Aft ic?, yet it ia the philosopher wno speaks and warns, not the hot tempered partisr.n, H?j ls anti al ways has been the stanch friend of America, not Alone of the United States, but of her northern sister. Canada. It wats in 1872 that he edited tha Canadian Monthly,. founded the Canadian Nation in 1874 and The Bystander in 1S80; but, though all? have died peaceful deaths long since, he still lectures the public each' week through the columns of tho'Toronto Sun over the pseudonym of Bystander. As this paper has a.wld* circulation and as he contributes numerous articles to the best magazines in the United States and England. Goldwin Smith's opinions are well known. As the author of twenty-eight books, first. last and alt the time representative of the highest Standards of our lit erature, especially those treating of social and political problems. Professor Goldwin Smith ls acknowledged to be un surpassed by any other modern historian of his class. He is a survival of a past aga of scholarly erudition.and is re spected by all who admire original achievement and Intellectual attainments of the highest order. , . . . * ELBERT O.

Tho order of knighthood has some times bfeeri -formally e?hf?rred oh la dies.

Queen Victoria instituted two Orders which differed f'rhtn that of the Garter by be ing limiten tb ladles alone. These are the Royal Order bf Victoria and Albert, founded lb, 1862, end the Imperial-G*\ der of the Crown of .india, established in 1ST8. Many Indian princesses belt ag to the latter: .. ; ' : . ?Going from England to the continent, we find other ' knightly orders which , have admitted ladies.

Men were originally ad mitted to this, but were afterward ex cluded. : Russia boasts of the Marla medal;-,? decoration reserved solely for ladles or unblemished character and distinguish*- .. ed service. Spinsterhood received a premium, from the queen. of Bay?rife when she founded the Order of Theresa. for unmarried noblewomen, with a.pen-., sion that should cease at raarrl?ge. In Prua?ia we find the Order ? of Louisa and that of'the Cross of M?rlt-f-the .first. for ladies only, the second shared by both sexes. THE "BI8HOPf8" BRACELET. Regarding the ingenious modes of theft practiced by . professional thieves the following good story ls told: - After inspecting various specimen!} fte agreed to take a bracelet that cost $300. The bishop poid for his purchase with a bank note, which, t his own sugges tion, the jewelers sent across to their bank to have verified. The note being found correct, the bishop took -the bracelet and was just about to step Into his carriage when a policeman tapped him on the .''Shoulder, and said:. . ? ? Hello! So you're up to your, old tricks a go In, are you? YoU come ulong with me." And he> brought him back to the shop. Tho jewelers said there' Was some mistake, that the gentleman teas a bishop,vlhat he had Just bought a brace let and paid for it With a perfectly, good . five hundred dollar note. The officer replied that. so.far from being a/blshop, tbs mah was a notori ous thief and frtrger. and he had rio doubt tho note was an exceedingly clev er counterfeit.. "We will go oft to the police station at once," he said. "I will take th? n?t'e and go on .With the prisoner in the eaK rlage. and you must send ymir men In a cob to.meet.
