New Ambassador Has Had Lit
erary Career.
New York.—Walter H. Page, the new.
umbassnilor to the court of St. James.
Is n southerner. He was born In tho
village of Cury. N. C.. In 1855 and was
graduated from ' Randolph Macon col
lege In the spring of 1870, after which
he pursued postgraduate studies at
Johns Hopkins university. He was
one of the first fellows of the' latter
university whon It opened lu the fall
of 1870, having won a Greek scholar
ship under Dr. Basil L. Gtldcrsleeve.
For a number of yenrs ho was presi
dent of the New York Alumni associa
tion of the university...
Having chosen a literary career, be
fell naturally into journalism and
magazine work. For the Atlantic
Monthly he wrote a society study of
the old southern borough, which led
to his obtaining an engagement to
travel through the south ns n corre
spondent of the Boston Post, the
Springfield Republican and- the New
York World. The' sociological prob
lems of the south especially engaged
his attention, and he later delivered a
series of lectures on these topics at
Harvard university.
in 1890 Mr. Page became editor of
the Forum, and it was due to Ills vigor
ous editorial policy thnt this magazine
was made successful nfter having fail
ed to pay anything on the investment
for several yenrs. In the course of
his work ns editor of the Forum Mr.
Pngo became one of the best known
litterateurs In the United States, and
his writings attracted the attention of
Europenn men of letters.
From 1805 to 1800 Mr. Page was the
literary editor and adviser for the pub
lishing firm of Houghton, Mifflin &
Co. and for the next three years was
the editor of the Atlantic Monthly, to
which magazine he had been a con
tributor for yenrs. Since 1900 he has
been the editor in chief of the World's
Work and has been a member of the
publishing firm of Doubledny, Page
& Co.
The new ambassador has a wide ac
quaintance among men of letters and
science in England and Is an intimate
friend of many contemporary English
statesmen. His selection by President
Wilson is considered n happy one 'nnd
Is on a par-with those previously sug
gested—President Emeritus Eliot of
Harvard university and Richard Olney
of Massachusetts.
Mr. Pnge is the author of "The Re
building of Old Commonwealths" nnd
is n member of the University aud
National Arts clubs. His home Is in
Garden City. In 1880 he married Miss
Alice Wilson, the daughter of Dr. Wil
liam Wilson of Aim Arbor. Mich. They
have several children. Mrs. Page has
always been a woman of domestic
tastes.

Malissa Gained Over 450 Pounds In
Five Months.
Savannah.—All get fat quick records
were broken by Malissa Cooper, col
ored, who died at her home at Grayson,
Gw^ette county, Ga. It took fourteen
men to put her in u coffin.
She weighed 013 pounds when her
heart stopped beating, and the doctors
say s|ie would have been as heavy ns
a small elephant had she lived a month
longer.
Five months ago the woman, appar
ently recovered from u sorious illness,
and then—she had never before weigh
ed more tliaii 150. pounds—site began to
put on fat at the rate of almost 100
pounds n month.
She could be seen to grow, fatter and
flitter almost from day to day. Her
skin stretched and stretched, and what
Kept it from cracking and splitting
wide open was a puzzle to the many
physicians who flocked to study her
strange case.
The whole countryside got interested
in Malissa, and the people went to
Grayson in droves, “just to see her
grow.” She grew while they wnited.
At the last her neck was n yard in
circumference, and it wits 111 inches
around her waist.
