GREAT FOREIGNERS.

From after-dinner speaking, the CONVEX

Is hardly prominent man in England
with whom he has not been more or less

idea of the Prince of Wales. Said Mr..
Depew:
TIE Prince of Wales is more of a man
THAI he gets credit for being. The English
government is so constituted that he ia
not able to show what is in him. Born
the heir 10 the great English throne and to
that OF the great empire of India. he has
been forced to spend his more than fiftv
years IN inactivity. His sole duties have
been 10 preside at openings of expositions.

far as he had been permitted to do any,
thing he has done 1t perfectly. His
speeches have been excellent and he ia
noted for being able to say lust the right
thing at the right time. He has good
memory for faces and names, is personally
very popular and he is man of great COM
mon sense and of good average abilities. He
is what We would call an all-round good
fellow. He IS naturally very industrious,
and he has not a lazy hair in his head.
Had England a different system of treat
ing her to-be rulers she might have made
of him the greatest bureaucrat in Europe.

at his majority, had been treated as the

Edwin Arnold at Home.
London Letter.


The home life of Sir Edwin Arnold has
always been unostentatious. Since the
death of his wife it has been even more
quiet than before. Much of his vacation
time he has iatterly spent in Japan, but
he is an Englishman to his finger tips,
and what is more lover of London.
As might be expected of a poet Of such
rich Imagination and exquisite fancy, his
home is a most beautiful one. He has
been a great traveller, and in addition
an industrious and intelligent collector
of rare gems in the way of brio
a-brac. These are scattered all about
the house. The rare taste of the
poet and scholar is shown in these
gems that he has picked up in various
parts of the globe as thoroughly as any
thing could show it. But in addition to
these are others that came to him as pres
ents from the sultan, the shah, from kings
and from Indian princes and rajahs. No
one in England outside of the court has
such a collection as that which adorns his
home.
Pictures and books too are there, but not
in great profusion. The poet does not be-
lieve in that sort of thing. But his pic
lures are masterpieces and his books are
books written by men of genius like him

Japan when he was there and she is the
mistress of his London home. She has
inherited much of her fathers genius and
is writer of much promise. The poets
son is also of literary turn of mind and
is an associate editor upon the Daily Iete-
qraph, of which Sir Edwin is editor.
Although Sir Edwin lives quietly, he is
by no means a hermit. You will find
the foremost men of London at his
house at times, men who stand in the
front rank in art, music or literature,
and very delightful meetings these are.
too. He is a member of most of the
leading clubs and is a frequent visitor
at their rooms. In addition he is q
regular theater-goer, and as first-nighter
ranks with Mr.. Justin Mccarthy and La
bouchere. He figures some in society and
is much run after by the good danes of
the West End, who are always on the
hunt for ''lions" to set off their receptions
and the like. He does not like to be lion
ICED, but he is good-natured and the de-
signing ones manage to capture him very
frequently.
Such is the life of the great poet and
editor at work and in his home. He is
one of England's really great men. His
lines have now fallen in pleasant places.
He is rich and famous. But probably the
most pleasant thing about this in the
mind of the poet is that his success has
been won honestly by his own genius and
industry.

Without color, but the light

Refining these impatient ores
With hammer and with blaze,
Until the designated light

AMERICAN sH1PBuILDING.
With a Little Fostering W. b. T. Hughes
Thinks We Can Wipe Out England.

With a Little Fostering W. 81. T. Hughes
Thinks We Can Wipe Out England.
NEW YORK, May 4.-W. 81. T. Hughes,
of the Ward line of steamers to Havana
and Mexico, is not only exceptionally we'll
informed respecting the shipping trade to
which be has devoted his life, but he is an
enthusiastic believer in the future of Ameri-
can shipping. In long talk upon the
subject, he said "that after the war, the diff
Guilty that American ship owners en-
countered was the successful intro
duction of iron in place Of wood
as ship building material, England
being at the time better filled to produce
iron ships than we were. Thanks to the
efforts and pluck of few notable men we
have developed little by little our capabili-
ties as builders of iron ships until to-day we
can build as fine ships as any nation in the
world and in the matter OF durability and
finish perhaps better ones.
SIT may be asked then why we are asking
Congress to help us. Because the American
capitalist lost interest in shipping and was
lured away to investing in. railroads by the
popular cry, we cannot compete with the
British and other maritime nations on the
sea- tell you that we can compete with
them. Start us up and foster us as they
were fostered ard we will not only compete
with them but We will wipe them out."

MEADvILLE, May 4.-The following

itself:
To the unsecured creditors of Delamater
& Co. your Executive Committee. hereby

fort to complete the contract with Delama-
ter & Co. on the part of the creditors, in
which they had the hearty cooperation of
the trustees-elect Messrs. Roddy and Por-
ter, as we'll as the earnest labors of creditors,
your committee held two meetings on May l,
1891, that being the date upon which the con-
tract was to have been concluded. 6. w. Della
mater was present, representing the first par
ties; that upon this day creditors signed to the
amount of $3.50 900. leaving only S22 600 outstand
ing as held by creditors who have not yet signed
the contract, out of total, OF $500 0O0. The
COMMITTEES being in sight Of final completion
OF said contract on behalf of the creditors, and
after making several propositions to Mr.. Dela-

called upon Mr.. w. P. Porter, and informed

Governor Stone, Of Mississippi, Says II Will
Not Help the Farmers.
JACKSON, MISS, May Ain reply to q
request from the Weber County Alliance
asking for his views on the sub-treasury
plan. Governor J. M. Stone, who has been
frequently and favorably mentioned as sue
cessor to ex-senator Walthall, has sub.
mitted letter, in which he says:
The proper function OF government, as I
understand it, is to protect all in the full
enjoyment of their rights by administering
equal and exact justice to all and imposing
as few burdens as possible, equally distrib-
utea, and the leaving every individual to his
own efforts for success and happiness. Gov
erDment has no wealth to bestow, and when
it undertakes to dispense favors it always has
favorites aud gives to them at the expense
of those not favored. So far as the SUBJ
Treasury is intended to supply an increase
of money, it promises nothing good TO
farmers, who. above all others. will be the
victims OF the evils of any initiation which
will disturb values. They need Tor their
welfare currency as steady and staple as
themselves.
