MARRIAGE OF MR WINSTON CHURCHILL.

A BrSlHasri Assemblage. . London, .September 14. The Right Hon. Winston Churchill, President of the Board of Trade, was married to Miss Clementine Flozier, daughter of the late Sir Flenry Hozicr, at St. Margaret’s Church, Westminister. There was a brilliant assembly. A dozen policemen in plain clothes were distributed around the Church to cope with a threatened suffragists demonstration which did trot ove.ur. Many hundreds of suffragists were present. [The outstanding fact concerning Mr Winston Churchill. is his age. He is only 34 years old —the youngest member of the Government and of the Liberal Party. Within six he has entered Parliament harrassed his party to desperation, deserted it, and secured office' under his old enemies, first practically as Colonial Minister, since Lord Elgin (who was Secretary of State for the Colonies in the Campbell-Banner-man Government) sits in the Lords; and now as President of the Board of 'Prado. Few men have crowded more incident into their lives. At 21 lie earned fame as a war correspondent. He fought with tire id alakand Field Force in the Nile campaign, and went through the .South African War with sword and pen in- his hand, to be captured-by the Boers, and to make a dashing escape. Before ho was 29 he had taken part in five campaigns. All this by way of a preliminary canter. From his Harrow days he had set his heart in Parliament, to follow thither in 1899 as member for Oldham. His pluck, his push, his epigrams, his biting tongue, proved irresislable. He made his name as a debater in spite of a little stuttering infirmity of speech which would frighten most men from the platform. His friends predict with confidence that one day Winston Churchill will be Prime Minister.]
