Lord Strathcona, of Canada, who
haa recently returned to America from
London, says the new Campbell-Ban
nerman cabinet is gathering great
strength and already has the confidence
of the people of Great Britain. While
he did not say so it is evident that he is
convinced that the elections this
month will result favorably for the lib
eral party.
In speaking of the matter of reel
procity between the United States and
Canada, Strathcona said that is a mat
ter that must be settled between these
countries. Great Britain will not in
terfere in the matter one way or the
other.
These declarations are reassuring
to those who favor trade expansion on
the American continent. With the
free trade party in power in Great
Britain and the libera! party of Canada
in full possession of that country, the
outlook for immediate growth of the
Chamberlain imperial reciprocity and
tariff is not bright, acd the conception
will go to an early grave if the United
States shall only aris? to the occasion
and meet the Canadians half way. And
they will do it. Every sign on the po
litical sea points clearly 10 an eariy col
lapse of the monopoly-possessed oligar
chy, that has bt en preventing Ameri
can tariff legislation the last few years,
as absolute and complete as tbat which
has overtaken municipal Dossdotn and
the insurance grafters.
In selecting the heads of departments
ii Lis new administration Mayor Mc
Clellan did not choose a single member
of Tammany. Every appointee is bd
independent member of his political
party. In his instructions to his "cab
inet" the mayor said he proposed thai
New York shall hive a clean, hon
est and capable administration, auding
that this is probably the last political
office he shall ever hold. He said he
will hold each of his associtate.
atrictly accountable for results in his
department, and if the latter are not
sat's'actory he will not hesitate to
make a change in the oiEce. The stand
the mayor has taken has encouraged
his friends to believe there is a brilli
ant political future ahead of him.

The Hatch Will
[Original.]
Old man Hatch bad lived bis ^ as
a woman hater, and now that be wat
about to die be bad no chick or child
to whom to leave the estate that had
beeu In the family for many years.
The only available relative was his
nephew, Raymond Hatch, who Inherit
ed his uncle's dislike for women and
whj at his own death would not be
likely to leave an heir. Against this
the old man undertook to provide. He
left the estate to Raymond on condi
tion that he marry within one year
after coming into possession. Six days
after making the will the testator died.
Raymond on bearing the will rend
was delighted till he came to the clause
requiring his marriage; then his coun
tenance fell. Like most women haters,
within the depths of his heart be bad
the Image of an ideal woman whom he
never expected to find. However, since
there was now the spur of a fortune to
drive him on, he started out in a hunt
for a girl whom he could love. Since
Raymond was a fine fellow with a
fortune he found plenty to choose from.
Girls were thrown at him like hail
stones. There were pushing girls, mod
est girls, bad girls, good girls? indeed,
girls of all kinds.
Now, the chances are that when a
woman hater falls in love it will be
with some helter skelter girl instead
of a steady, reliable woman who can
be surely counted on to make a good
wife. So It was with Raymond Hatch.
He fell before the charms of Grace
Maryott, as graceless a flirt as ever an
gled for man. If there was a serious
thought In her head It did not appear.
There was no prank of which she was
not capable. With it all was a certabi
Indescribable witchery that fascinated
men where sterling qualities would
have had no effect. Such girls some
times when they find themselves con
fronted with the serious problems of
wife and mother make very good
wives, but they are uncertain.
Raymond would have liked to keep
the secret of his Inheritance, but eligi
ble young men with fortunes cannot
hide them, and Raymond's fortune was
a widely known fact. Miss Maryott
knew all about it, but had the effront
ery to pretend that she supposed him
to be n poor man, while Raymond had
the stupidity to believe her. Raymond
did not meet the girl till withiu two
months of the time of expiration of the
year fixed by the will for matrimony,
but during these two mouths a great
deal was accomplished. The truth la
Miss Maryott left Mr. Hatch very little
to do In the matter. These flirts know
men better than the steady, modest
women do, and are aware that* a man
does not object to being courted by a
woman for whom he does not have
positive dislike. Besules. flirts have a
way of backing an.l filliug that is puz
sllng. Miss Maryoit blew hot and cold
until she got Hatrt In a fever of un
certainty. On several occasions when
she was blowing h>t he tried to get In
a proposal, but she always contrived
to head him off. One week before he
must marry or losv bis inheritance he
was still uncertain ot bis fate.
At this time Mis?i Maryott suddenly
became apparently rery pliable. Hatcb
bad been reproving ber for trifling
with him, and she appeared so eou
trite that, taking advantage of the op
portunity, he blurted out his proposal.
To bis astonishment she refused him.
It seemed to him that the bottom had
droped out of the uuiverse.
But when It came to the reason for
her unexpected action the girl unblush
ingly told him that It would be unwise
for two people lo marry both being
unendowed with worldly goods.
Hope sprang back Into the lover's
breast, and be told her of his uncle's
will and its Important condition.
Then came the most surprising blow
of all. Miss Maryjtt looked at him
with well affected surprise and coolly
asked him if he considered her one to
msrry for money. He pointed out the
want of logic In such a conclusion, but
with no effect. The girl told him that
he must look elsewhere for some one
to help him secure his fortune. Her
heart was too sacred to be used in any
such mercenary manner, whereupon
Hatcb declared that his fortune might
go to charity or the dogs for all he
cared and left her.
At the last moment the heir prospec
tive was approached by Miss Wyman,
a friend of Miss Maryott's, who argued
with him the folly of letting a fortune
go that might as well be secured. She
advised Hatch to comply with the pro
vision of the will by marrying nome
old woman who had not long to live.
Hatch was desperate and did not care
what he did. Miss Wyman agreed to
Introduce blm to a woman of eighty
who could not possibly live a week.
Hatch consented, and arrangements
were made accordingly.
It was not till 10 o'clock of the day
the limit of time fixed by the will ex
pired that Miss Wyman kept her prom
ise and introduced Hatch Into a room
where on a lounge, propped up by pil
lows, an old woman, wrinkled, hollow
cheeked, snaggle toothed, was waiting
to receive him. A clergyman had been
summoned, and there was nothlug to
do except for Hatch to sign a paper
agreeing to pay to a relative of the dy
ing woman a sum of money in com
pensation for her accommodation. The
paper was signed, and the marriage
ceremony was performed. Hatch was
about to withdraw when Miss Wyman
auggested that he remain for the wed
ding breakfast. He recoiled with hor
ror, but the lady led him Into another
room, where she kept him waiting for
a few minutes, when folding doors
opened, and there, beside a well laden
table, stood his bride, the merry, be
witching Miss Maryott
Mrs. Hatch astonished the worid by
making a most estimable wife.
