A BRILLIANT ASSEMBLY.

MARRIAGE OF MR WINSTON CHURCHILL. GUARDING AGAINST THE SUFFRAGETTES. Received September 14', 8 30 s.T). LONDON, September 13. The Right Hon. Winston Churchill, President of the Board of Trade, was married to Miss Clementine Hozier, daughter of the late Sir Henry Hozier, kt St. Margaret's Church, Westminster. There was a brilliant assembly. A dozen policemen in plain clothes •v°re distributed around the Church to cop2 with a threatened suffragUt demonstration which did n't occur. Many hundreds of suffragists were present.

The outstanding fact concerning Mr Winston Churchill is hit. age. He is only 34 years old-—the youngest member of the Government aril of the Liberal Party. Within six years he has entered Parliament, hairassed his party to desperation, deserted it, and secured office under his old one mies, first practically as Colonial Minister, since Lord E'grin (who was Secretary of State for the Colonies in the CumpbeH-Banner.nan Government) sits in the Lords; and now as President of the Board of Trade. Few men have crowded more incident into their lives. At 21 he earned fame as a war correspondent. He fought with the Malakand Fieid 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 he was 29 he ihrd taken part in five campaigns. All this by way of preliminary canter. From his Harrow days he had stt his heart in Parliament-, to follow thither in 1899 as member for Oldham. His pluck, his push, his epigram?, Ms biting tongue, proved irresistible. 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.
