The greatest surprise has been caused in official and society circles In Washington by the wedding of Mrs. Cushman K.

While Mrs. Davis was abroad after the death of her talentedhusband cable dispatches stated that she was betrothed to Don Abaxuza. formerly 8pantsh minister to those colonies now In possession of tlie United States. She met him at Paris when sbe accompanied her talented husband to that city for the sessions of the Paris Peace Commission, This report gained wide currency before It was finally denied iy Mra.

Their theory seemed to be borne ont when Mra Davis returned from abroad and began the task of compiling . her late husband's writings and lettere. In this work sbe was assisted by Bishop Hurst of the Methodist Episcopal church, who was an old and esteemed friend of Senator Davis. At that time, denying a former report that she had chosen Paris for her permanent residence, Mrs. Davis said: Is farther from my "Nothing thoughts.

The first of what is believed will be a number of great estates owned by the members of the British nobility, will be established soon in South Africa by the Duke of Westminster. His Grace has purchased a number of farms, aggregating , 8,000 morgen of land in the Thabanchu district of the Orange River Colony, on which he proposes to settle a number of families from his estate In England. The estate will be run on the English plan. It will be well stocked with game. Trees will be planted and English methods of agriculture will be introduced. It is said that other wealthy noblemen and commoners ' propose to follow the example set by the Duke of Westminster.' The British government heartily approves the idea, and will give it all, possible encouragement It sees in its movement a practical method of Increasing British influence in the conquered colonies, and at the same time the potent influence toward the building up and development of their material resources.
