ON w. f.. GLADSTONE
Rev. William Wilkinson Lectures
on the English Statesman.

Last night at the West hotel Rev.
WilliamWilkinson delivered, by request,
a lecture on wv. e. Gladstone-Stat
man anaScholar. ."There was but a small
audience in attendance to hear the lect-
ure, but those who did attend enjoyed
it. Mr.. Wilkinson began with Glad
stones birth, in 1909, before the evils
attendant upon the French revolution
had died away, traced the life of the
great man through his wonderful career
in school and college down to his en-
trance into politics and election to the
parliament of 1888. and continued thus:
From the first Gladstone was a success
in parliament. Those years of study
which had seen seven hours every day
of systematic work assisted him. Soon
he was a junior lord of the treasury
and to the Peel administration he was
member for Newark. In December,
1916, it was announced that in January,
1876, the parliament would be convened
and that the queens speech would
occasion the consideration of the corn
laws. The tories were dumfOunded.
When the new Peel administration
came in it was seen that Gladstone had
accepted the post of colonial Secre-
tary. He was now free trader,
but he was not in parliament.
Gladstone and Disraeli had long been
on opposite sides, Gladstone Tory,
DiSraeli Radical. Now things are eX-
actly reversed In 1S42 free trade was
advocated by Disraeli; now he opposed
it. The corn laws were passed and the
Peel ministry fell. In 1851 and 1852
Gladstone became forever outside the
Conservative party, and, under Lord
Aberdeen, was made chancellor of the
eXchequer. On April Is of that year he
brought in his first budget. 1t at once
made him a man of renown. The Rus
sian war set in. But the Russian cZar
died and peace at Paris was made by
treaty in 1856. From that time the at
tention of statesmen in general III En-
gland, and Gladstone in particular,
has been given to domestic affairs
largely. Literature and progress have
been the watchwordS of this grand ole
man. From blunders he has not been
free. He sided the South in the Amer
lean conflict. 1t was, think, a mistake
to diSendow the Irish church, but he
has been one of the most ardent advo-
Gates of popular education, and the last
reform bill gave to England's toilers
right to vote. Strong in his religious
convictions, clearly seeing the unity of
the race, and so being free trader, with
a profound knowledge of the fact that
the reform of man is the reform of all
things, this man has grown into
noble and heroic service, such as will be
with love remembered as long as Eng
lishmen love liberty and revere moral
convictions.

READY TO CRY QUITS.
The Brotherhood and League Will
Stop Fighting.

The Brotherhood and League will
Stop Fighting.
CHICAGO, May 3O.-The Post this
afternoon says the Players league has
tired of its fight with the National
league, and has issued call for
secret meeting to be held in New York,
for the purpose of reconstructing its
schedule so as to avoid all conflict
ing dates, or nearly all. with the older
organization. Secretary Brunell, who
was to have left for the metropolis to-
day, was prevented from starting by
being slightly injured while indulgingi
in bit of field practice yesterday. If
he RECEIVERS sufficiently to travel he may
take the night train for New York.
NEW YORK, May 29.-In regard to the
dispatch published this morning, to the
effect that the Players National league
had called a meeting to change It's play
ing schedule, the World says:
"a meeting of the central
board of directors of the Players
National league will be held in this city
some time before Sunday night. Var,
ious rumors in regard to this meeting
have been set af1oat and few Of them
should be corrected. In the first
place there will be no change
in its playing dates. Second
ly, there will be no reduction in the
price of admission. Third, the meeting
is not called to meet any financial or in
ternal crisis. The original idea in call
ing the meeting was to talk with
two club members of the Ma
tional league who did desire change
of schedule. The argument put forth
by the two clubs desiring the change
was that it would be good move for
the league to make the change, for the
reason that the base ball public has
become more OF less confused by the
present conflict and would hail any such
change as a move prompted by good
judgment. This the players refused to
do, claiming that they were III no way
responsible for the present situation,
and, furthermore, that any such
move would be interpreted as a
sign of weakness. The meeting was
called reluctantly. and it is doubtful
now If the matter Of changing the
schedule will even be brought up. but
a majority of the directors thought it
would be a good idea to bring the
board together and have an informal
talk. This is exactly what will be
done. The World further says that
there is deal pending in the National
certain stockholders in certain club,
and partial change of the National
league schedule. This cannot injure
the new league, while it will greatly
strengthen the old organization.

"rRANsITIoN FANATICIsM.D

A line or two in the regular report of
congressional proceedings yesterday
stated that Senator PIERCE, of North
Dakota. opposed the bill to give the
states the right to regulate the original
package, and insisted that "Cougress
should not conform its legislation to
please the transition fanaticiSm of such
a state as Iowa" That seems a little
peculiar, in view of the fact that the
party to which the senator is indebted
for his seat, the very same legislature
in fact, adopted a law that is said to be
fuller than the Iowa statute with the
''fanaticism' he abhors. His viruIent
attack upon prohibition affords clue to
the situation at home, as he viewed it
on his recent trip to examine his polit-
ical fences. He has apparently effected
a combination with the nti-prohibition
and anti-MILI.ER Republican faction,
which will sacrifice HANsBRoUGH.
This also places him in line with the
lottery deal, and it will not be remem-
bered that he has Of late disparaged
that movement, which is not believed to
be altogether in moribund condition.
It will not be cold season in North
Dakota politics.

THE NATIONS HEROES.

A full quarter of a century has passed
away since the last hostile gun was
fired in the conflict that for more than
four years reddened the ground with
the crimson tide of young life. To
those who lived through the throes of
the dire contest its memories are fade
less. Steps may grow feeble, the locks
may whiten, and the physical forces
cease their activity, but while the men
tai faculties retain their vigor the scenes
of those years will live in the tablets of
the mind. Others have been born and
come to the years that were those of
most of the heroic spirits that went forth
to do battle. to whom the story of the
the war takes place only with other
variations of heroism and patriotism.
They look upon the picture drawn by
those who stood in its hurtling midst;

they see the graybeards who have been
spared to rejoice in its fruits, and learn
lessons of devotion and self-sacrifice
from their example. 1t is their privi-
lege to fellowship with those who riv-
aled the grandest deeds ip history; of
those who have dared and suffered that
the nation might live. They have lively
evidence that heroism is not a thing OF
far-away times and lands. Yet, amid
the jostle of seltishness and ambition,
it may be thought that the young
men of to-day would not respond as
eagerly to the call of their country to
peril their lives in its defense as did
their fathers. A nation without armies
and that has lived beyond the per-
Sonal memories Of war, naturally
loses much of its martial spirit. When
the land was startled from its long
peace in 1861 by the thunders of angry
artillery, but here and there was there
a tottering old soldier who ever had
stood upon the battle field or knew of
the art of war. There were some scat
tering heroes who had followed the vic
torious flag amid the heights and wales
of Mexico; but practically the nation
was totally unversed in the discipline
of the camp or field. A few dangerous
old pieces of artillery left over from
early wars and rusted with time were
occasionally brought out on 1nde-
pc ndence day, but in most sections
military training had fallen into dis
favor. and the militia that appeared at
times at muSters, was hardly more than
a burlesque. Yet at the tap of the drum
and the unfurling of the flag, the land
shook with the tread of the strong
men rushing to the conflict Men for
got their petty. differences, their party
and their pc aceful pursuits, in the hour
when they heard the call to arms. Party
strife then had an intensity and bitter
ness happily unknown in these days;
but men who had glared at each other
most fiercely in the strifes OF party and
faction touched shoulders in the camp
and in field. From this unframed ma
terial there soon sprang into existence
the grandest armies that ever trod the
earth. No nobler heroes over went
among the stars than those who fell in
the years of that fearful strife. Nor
were the men who met the followers of
the old flag any less heroes. They were
foemen worthy of generous and tolerant
remembrance. None who wore the uni
form of the republic would wish to dis
parage their high devotion and splendid
daring. 1t is well that time has filled the
gaps between hearts, and all can now
sit down to the common table.
The sense of personal bereavement
has been lost in the gladness that the
sacrifices of the war have been the seed
of glorious fruitage. Only brutes per-
ish. Men who do great deeds or speak
noble thoughts can never pass into
oblivion. The patriots who achieved
the independence of this country were
never more alive than to-day. Every
fold of the nations flag tells of their
work. Those who in all the times
since have gone up past the stars and
stripes will be deathless. 1t is well to
deck their graves to-day and bend rever-
emily over the mute ashes. Lessons of
valor, devotion and sacrifice are taught
at their sunken mounds.

The Flour Output.

The flour output lost ground again
last week, the figures being 2a,4O0 bar
rels smaller than the preceding week,
says the Northwestern Miller The ag-
gregate production was 107,340 barrels,
averaging 1880 barrels daily, against
129, ,74O barrels the week before, and 105,-
900 barrels for the corresponding time
in 1889, and 10000 barrels III 1888.
Under the influence of the present life
less flour market. there is growing
tendency to reduce the flour output.
This is true of the country, as we'll as
of Minneapolis. Outside mills that
have heretofore been able to keep more
or less orders ahead are now beginning
to run short of thier usual supply, and
are reducing their output, while not a
few others of large capacity are shut
down entirely much of the time. OF
the local mills, eleven were in operation
this noon. grinding at the rate of $4,000
barrels per tWenty-four hours.

FOR THE MILLERS.
Preparations for the Convention
Well Under Way.

Preparations are we'll under way for
the miller's convention which opens in
Minneapolis in a couple of weeks.
One of the neatest mementos of the
convention will be the credential
tickets. There are five of these tickets
bound together in neat, perforated
book form for the pocket. with plain
white cover, through the edge of which
is jauntily tied blue ribbon. On the
tickets as background is an accurate
reproduction in blue of the seal of the
city of Minneapolis. The first ticket is
a general credential card, the second
an admittance to the banquet, the third
a steamboat ticket for the excursion at
Mlnnetonka, the fourth the railway
ticket to Minnetonka and the last
theater card. All are stamped with the
signat ure of A. c. Loring, chairman of
the entertainment committee, and as
soon as used will be detached, leaving at
the close of the convention the general
credential card in the book as pleas
ant souvenir of the weeks gayety.
The Harris theatre has been engaged
for the evening of June nth, and
comic opera. probably "Olivette," will
be presented especially for the visiting

HAWKINS NECR STRETCHED.
A Wife Murderer Legally Strau,



WASHINGTON, May %, : Benjamin
Hawkins, colored, was hanged here to-
day. The crime for which Hawkins to-
day suffered the death penalty was the
murder of his wife, Cora, in South
Washington, on the night of March IA.
1889. He was nearly thirty years old and
had lived in this city since he was q
child. He never had a bad reputation
and had always worked for his living.
Several years ago he married a woman
i'll his part of the city, with whom he
lived happily for some time, until they
began to accuse each other of faith
lessness, and then th9y separated.
On the fatal night Hawkins called at
the house where his wife was living,
s'parlor sociaP' OH Virginia avenue
with the man whom he believed to be
the cause of his domestic troubles.
Hawkins went to the house where the
''socia" was in progress. There was
music and dancing inside and he saw
his wife when he looked through the
shutters. He asked for her and she
came out, but was careful not to let the
other man see her with her husband.
They left the house together, aud in a
short time the dead body of the woman
was found in an alley near the house.
The husband had infected the fatal
wound with knife and left her to die.
Ha wilkins threw the knife over the
fence along the railroad tracks, and
went to the house of friend, where he
was arrested later in the night. No one
saw the blow given, but Hawkins ac-
knowledged that he had killed his wife
''for some of her smart talk" and be-
cauSe she WOIIld not return TO the social
by the front door. After spending sew
eral months in Jail he was tried, con-
victed and sentenced to be executed in
january last. A respite was, however.
granted, and the case taken to the court
in general term, which later affirmed
the decision of the lower court. This
decision was reached only few days
before the time set for Ha Hkins' execu-
tion, but to give him time to prepare
for the hereafter, the president granted
further respite until to-day.

asserts the manly prerogative of elder

When the women attempt to ignore the
other sex there should be vindication.

NlEGRUE'S DOUBLE LIFE
His Chicago Partner Shocked by
the Disclosures,

CHICAGO, May 29.-Dr. William B.
Meaney, of this city, in an interview to-
day stated that he was thoroughly sur
prised at the cable reports concerning
the circumstances said to have attended
the mysterious deate of Maj. Megrue.
at Margate, England. The major was
DR.. Meaney's associate with Judge
Davis, of London, for four years past,
in the numerous heavy transfers Of
American breweries and similar large
interests, and the doctor states that
Maj. Megrue among all his friends in
London and on this side of the Atlantic
was regarded as man of the highest
character. and a gentleman whose kind
ness of heart would lead him to do an
act of friendliness toward any woman.
In explanation of the large amount of
securities mentioned as having been
found on Maj. Megrue's person, DR..
Meaney said the major was en- route TO
the continent with papers to be signed
by the Belgian and French govern
ments. Maj. Megrue, it appears, was
partner with Col. McMurdo, of Delagoa
