A GURZON DINNER NotaWe Farewell Parly at the Hotel Cecil. WAS AN EXCLUSIVE AFFAIR The Viceroys Tribute to His Wife. A Distinguished Company. Friends Together. LONDON. The farewell dinner to Lord and Lady Curzon at Hotel Cecil resembled a Continental or American occasion rather than the customary cold British banquet, by the extreme warmth and intimacy of the proceed ings, from which the press was rigor ously excluded. The sixty-five hosts were, without exception, close personal friends. It was in fact a gathering of a certain very distinguished set of London society, all comparatively young people of rank and talent, who for years have constituted a social im- penum in imperio. The room was de corated with red, white and blue in candescent lights. The hosts occupied seven tables set star-wise, Lord Cur zon at the head of one apex of the star and Lady Curzon opposite him at the other apex. Lord Curzon had on his right the Duchess of Devonshire, next to whom was Mr. Asquith; on the left was the Duke of Portland, next to whom sat Mrs. Henry "White. On Lady Curzon's right sat Mr. A. J. Bal four and the Duchess of Marlborough; at her left, Lord Elcho and Mrs. As quith. Lady Randolph Churchill sat next to St. John Broderick, the new Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs. Mr. Henry White sat next to the Duchess of Portland. Lord Curzon, who never fails to rise on such an occasion, made a charming and intimate speech, full of good- natured raillery. Among a score of sparkling and touching remarks he modestly remarked himself as lacking all the proper qualities of a Viceroy, but paid an affectionate tribute to "the men with women's hearts and the wo men with men's heads" who had been his friends. He declared that it was no occasion to speak of international alliances, and would, therefore, only say that for him forever the American flag would be "all stars and no stripes. Whenever he mentioned his wife he said "Mary and I," and concluded by these words: "We petition you, we conjure you, nay, we exercise our new prerogative and we command you, to come out and see us." George Wyndham, a brilliant young aristocrat, politician, and litterateur, the newly-appointed Under Secretary of State for War, recited five stanzas of a'farewell poem he had written, the colloquial and familiar character of which indicated the note of the even ing. One stanza contained a grace ful allusion of Lady Curzon, address ing her as: The lady whom none of us knew Eight years ago, but whom now, thanks to you, We thave all of us known and adored. The final stanza of this affectionate valedictory ran as follows: So go in and win. "What's 'five years but a lustre To shine round a name, that already shines bright, Then come back and we'll greet you and go such a buster, As never was seen; no, not even to night. Come back in five years with your sheaves of new fame, You'll find your new friends, and you'll find them the same, As now, when you gladden their sight. All the hosts attached their auto graphs to a large menu card, and the company was duly photographed by flashlight. Lady Curzon drove straight from the banquet to the Paddington station to join the steamer Plymouth. Lord Curzon meets her at Marseilles a week hence. No Viceregal pair ever left England with a more cordial, a more socially brilliant, farewell. Lord Curzon has exhibited hundreds of eminent qualities, but never yet has he had to occupy single-handed a posi tion of such infinite responsibility and to grapple with a multiplicity of such difficult problems. Everybody, how ever, pays tribute to his courageous and modest attitude, and all who know him express the utmost confid ence that he will return in 1903 covered with new laurels.

WENT TO CHINA. Why a "Jacky" Skipped From Honolulu. (Washington Star.) Bluejackets attached to ships that have departed from the United States for Honolulu have often taken heavy chances on getting into all kinds of trouble, civil and military, by smug gling opium to the Hawaiian Islands. Bluejackets on American ships man aged to get many a can of the poppy into Honolulu by secreting the stuff in ships' nooks and sending it ashore by the bumboatmen upon making the Hawaiian port. A second-rate bosun's mate on one of the ships overdid this business, however, a few years ago, by taking on too much of the contraband opium when his ship left San Fran cisco. The bumboatmen were helping him to get the cans of opium over the side as rapidly as possible upon the ship's arrival at Honolulu harbor, but meanwhile the commanding officer got wind from one of the opium-dealing sailor's enemies of what was going on. One afternoon, when the opium smug gler was ashore, supervising the sale of the cans he had got over the side, the inspecting officer of the ship found about thirty-five half-pound cans of opium stowed away behind the sailor's ditty bag in the wire lockers. The sail or got wind of what awaited him upon his return to the ship, and he didn't return. Instead, he shipped on a Brit ish vessel that was pulling out of Ho nolulu on the same evening for Shang hai, and, with a pocketful of profits already made on his opium smuggling, he was on his way to China before the officers of his warship knew what had become of him. FROM A NEAR BY TOWN. What They Say In Marlon la The Same They Say Hero. There is something novel in reading incidents connected with the life of people in the States. Even if these are of the most trivial nature the fact that the Yankee is now our brother makes them interesting. When they give vent to their feelings- on a question that concerns us, the incidents are doubly interesting. Take the opinion on Doan's Backache Kidney Pills in this neighborhood and compare it with what follows from Marion, O. This is only one example but it is sufficient to prove the truth of the as sertion. Mrs. W. R. Creasap, of No. 621 Silver street, Marion, O., says: "I had trouble with my .kidneys of so ser ious a nature that it became positively necessary for me to have an examina tion made of them by a physician. This put my disease beyond a doubt that it was anything but genuine kidney disease. For about two years past there seemed to be a sore spot in the small of my back over the right kid ney. It was so excessively bad that it was sore to the touch and hurt me if I leaned against anything accidentally. I could not lie upon my back at night on this account and I was compelled to lie only on one side. It hurt me to stoop over and raise up again and I had pains up my hack and down Into my limbs. My feet swelled consider ably and my body also, and I had ereat shortness of breath. All this was relieved by using Doan's Back ache Kidney Pills. I believe they are all they claim to he. I shall recom mend them to others personally when ever an occasion presents itself." Doan's Backache Kidney Pills are sold for 50 cents per box, or six boxes for $2.50, by all dealers, or will be forwarded by mail to any addres3 on receipt of price by the Hollister Drug Co., Ltd., Honolulu, agents for the Islands.
