pondcnt Of New York Tribune, In 1866 he
was special commissioner under President
johnson to look into the condition of the
Southern States In 1863, he was an editor in
st. Louis and in the same year was the tom
porary chairman of the National Convention
that nominated Grant for whose election he
worked hard. In tho same year he entered
the United States Senate from Missouri. 1t
was in the Senate that he made plain his apti-
tude for Kicking over the traces, for he OPP
posed President Grant In many ways and the
latter resented it, The year 1872 found him
out Of the Republican party and presiding
over the convention of the Liberal party in
Cincinnati which nominated Horace Greedy
for President, but 1876 found him back in the
Republican party again and later he found
himself in the cabinet. Since that time his
career has been known to all men. The
organization Of the Mugwump party, If it
may be called n party gave Mr.. Schur2 an
other chance to show his independence. Ho
joined the Mugwumps and supported Cleve-
land against Mr.. Blaine In the last prcsi-
dental election he supported Mr.. Cleveland
against General Harrison.
Such, in outline, has been the career of this
somewhat remarkable man. That 1t has been
q busy and varied one no one will deny and
just what the future may end it is matter
to speculate upon,

A few days ago friend invited mo to join
II party of gentlemen ut his country place for
the excitement Of II bear-hunt. This form of
sport is in such great demand in st. Pctcrs-
burg, that an invitation is eagerly accepted.
The peasant who discovers "bcrloSa," or
the lair whero bruin is alternating, guards
his secret as though 1t We're gold mine.
The greatest gentlemen of the land often take
advantage of landowners invitation to come
down with thoir imperial suites TO oXtermin-

Tho following night, therefore, | found
myself IN the station ol the Warsaw railroad

team and sleigh were awaiting me at tho
depot. My friends house is built like the
majority of country houses, of logs covered
with nearly doyotailod boards, painted a
brownish yellow. Day had just begun to
break. Tho courtyard was a scene OF great
animation. About 200 peasants with sticks
and guns awaited impatlently the signal to
start servant was serving out liberal
doses OF vodka. Indoors the huntsmen were
already at breakfast. BY six O'clock we
started for tho place where bruin lay. Ivan,
the peasant who had discovered the bear
allotted positions in II scm-circo to the
huntsmen OF whom thore were nine.
The excitement now began. At given
signal the bcaters closed in upon the other
side OF the semi-circo firing guns and max
ing all the noise possible. We were placed
forty yards apart The boaters could be
heard approaching, but no signs of bruin.
The suspense was becoming unpleasant. A
few hares dUrting by gave one start. Sud

from his hole and was trying to break

Carl SchurZ, soldier Of fortune.
He is the one man in American politics
who is almost always indeiInable in u degree.
Schurz for more than score Of years has
kept political prophets and wseacres guess
ing Us to just where he would turn up next,
and in what special camp.
Schur2 is a figure in our politics who in
some respects has no counterpart. Few men
of national reputation won fame in the fac,
of more obstacles and difficulties. An exile,

in March, 1929, near Cologne in Prussia. His
life since be left the university at Bonn, in
which he YVES a student, to plunge into the
revolution Of lSlS against King William along
with Rudlich and KinGel, who afterwards
settled in New York and Franz Sigel, who
won his generals commission in our own
civil war. No carpet knight was young
Schurz. When his friend Kinkel was captured
and sentenced to Imprisonment for life in Il
fortress in the river Havel Young Schurz
communicated with his friend and between
the two a plan was cOncocted by means Of
which Kinkel escaped one dark night from
the fortress through a sewer, and by the aid
of Schurz, and by means Of long marches by
night, the two reached the North Sea and
shipped to England.
From this time his career was checkered
for a considerable period and varied always.
In Paris he was a correspondent for German
papers. In England, like other eXles, he
gave lessons in his own language with some
success. The year 1852 found him in the

There seems to be little doubt In the
minds Of any that the un~iication Of che
lessons has been OF immense benefit 10
the movement for extending the useful
ness Of the Sunday school. The interna-
tional lesson series was adopted In 1871
at the Indianapolis convention for the
United States, the Canadian Sunday
schools came In three years later, and In
1889 the plan was universally adopted.
Though DR.. nov Bishop Vincent Il the
man TO whom the idea first seemed FEAST
BILE and DIR. Eggleston showed it's prac-
ticability, 1t was Mr.. Jacobs who pushed
tito adoption, and be is, therefore, and
quite naturally, very popular among
men who are at the top among Sunday
school workers. This was shown by his
election ct the worlds Sunday school
convention held In ST. Louis last year to
the high Office of president, an honor
which HI. Jacobs, who Ii as modest as

luctance. It seems q little singular that

wild beasts and pagan savages for CEN
turtles after all Europe had been Chris

became convinced that the first day of

The Archbishop Of St. Paul Mixes Up
iaa New York Political
Natter,
And Succeeds In Having His Candi-
date For University Regent
Elected.
The Contest Came Near Resulting In
the Selection OF q Protestant For
the Place.

ALBANY, u. Y, March g0.-The Rev.
Sylvester Malone at Brooklyn Is to rue.
reed the lats Bishop MeNierney Of Al.
bany 80 regent Of the University Of the
State Of New York.
This result was reached ii the Repnb-
lican caucus after i hard fought battle
between the archbishop of New York
and the ARCH ishop Of ST. Paul, MINI.
In effect that is what the fight here has
been.
The chief candidates for the regency
have been the Rev. Father Malone OF
Brooklyn, the Rev. Louis a. Lambert
OF Scottsdale. Bishop McQuaid OF
Rochester and Colonel George Bliss OF
New York. Fathers Malone and Lam
bert have never been hostile candidates,
bat the former has been known to be
bitterly distasteful to the archbishop of
New York.
The public school question has catered
into the fight. and none OF the candi-
dates or their friends have made any
secret of that Fact. Archbishop Ireland
has written letters couchel in the
strongest language In favor of Father
Malone, and the adherents Of Father
Lambert have spread broadcast through
the legislature extracts from the writ
ings Of Bishop McQuaid on the public
school question.
1t became apparent today that Father
Malone would secure q majority Of the
votes of the Republican members. The
efforts Of ciergymen and laymen who
had been working for Bishop McQuaid
wor then changed TO the direction Of
preventing the selection Of any Catholic
to the regency.
Tremendous Influences
were brought TO bear on the leaders
here and in New York. Senator Saxton
was told by o priest who came 10 work
for Bishop McQuaid that the selection
OF Father Malone by the caucus would
MORALLY offend "a, 900 Catholic RepubH-
cans Id this country.
Every effcrt was made to show thae
Father Malone1s selection would be- an
offense 10 the dignitaries Of the church,
N che province OF New York 10 now
constituted, and would cause particular
distress and modification 20 Archbishop

When the caucus met the leadars IN
both houses had made up their minds
30 try to turn the tide from Father Ma
lone to Albert Vanderyer Of Albany.
Their programtae was well mapped ont,

the uuion of chs MaloAe and Lambert
forces. The roll call showed the vote
TO stand: Malone AZ, Lambert III, Mul-
