Licked His Hexcellency.

Tom Benton occupied for many years
lin fact, until his death-a responsible
position in the household of Queen Vic
torfa. Benton, who was OF humble birth,
was but a lad at Brighton when his par
other. 1t was shortly after these events
to the young boy under rather peculiar
circumstances. y st,:s
One day, while Benton was gathering
shells on the beach at Brighton to make
pincushions, which he sold to the sum-
mer visitors, a young boy, nicely dress
ed and about his own age, appeared
upon the scene and scattered, with a
vigorous kick, the accumulated shells:
Benton gathered up his treasures, and
placing them again in a pile warned the
Intruder that il he repeated the trick he
would give him good licking.
The kick was repeated with even more
vigor than before, and the shells were
sent flying in every direction. True to
his word, the "poor boy" soundly
thrashed the stranger. It was close
contest at first, us the lads were quite
evenly matched, but the more fully de-
iveloped strength of Benton finally
brought him off victorious.
Just as the melee was over a gentle
man and lady approached. and the for
mer said: "You did quite right, young
man. We have seen the whole transac-
tion. This boy is our.son. but he was
the aggressor, and received the thrashing
he we'll nerited'' A number of ques,
tons were asked the lad as to himself
and his family. The replies told. the
boys life how the death of his parents
had brought poverty to himself and his
brothers and sisters. = 80 ~
''This is the queen,'' said the gentle
man, who was none other than Prince
Albert, land the young man to whom
you administered such merited whip
ping is the Prince of Wales Turning
to the prince, he continued, You must
send this young man to school and pay
for his tuition out Of your own pocket
money That cannot add to your punish
ment, but can benefit this poor lad with
whom you picked such an uncalled for
quarrel"
! Thus it was that Tom Benton met the
queen Of England He was sent to a
school about midway between Portland
and Dover. After completing his studies
there he was taken into her majesty's
service and remained there his entire
life. Between Benton and the Prince Of
Wales there was a strong bond Of friend
ship, such as could exist between true
manly men. ss5 ~ E5.s -. ss5 s3

The Old Roman Dead.

| AS foreshadowed in these column,
over month ago, Allen G. Thurman
of Ohio is dead.
| A Senator of the United States, {
Congressman from Ohio, a member o
the Supreme court of Ohio, a lawyer
of National reputation, a Democratic
candidate for the Vice-Presidency, or
the ticket with MIR. Cleveland in 1888
he was all this, but, if this had beer
all he was, his life might have drawn
to its close without other remark than
that he was successful lawyer and
politician, as many others have been
and will be.
But when it is added that Judge
Thurman. throughout all his profes-
sional and political life, won the uni
versal respect and esteem of friend
and foe alike, and that, great as were
his abilities, he was more loved and
admired for his sterling worth as a
man. for his honesty, integrity, fair
ness, his sunny disposition, guileless
himself. and therefore unsuspecting of
guile in others. and his moral great
ness, that shone like a star amid all
the perils, scandals, ISLANDERS, calum-
nies and temptation of public life. at a
nations capital, then it we admitted
that greater than any Senate's triumph
was the appellation of ..Old Roman y
which friends bestowed upon him, and
his enemies never questioned; and it
will be confessed that never did he'll
NETS plume or stainless knighthood
or oriilamme of war, inspire greater
confidence, love and enthusiasm than
did the famous red bandana handker-
chief of Allen G. Thurman.
The Old Roman has never appeared
in public. among his fellow men, since
the death of his wife in 1891. With
the flight of her spirit from earth the
light of his life died, and since that
day he has kept within the privacy OF
his home, reading and studying by
night in the family library. and sleep
ing by day as peacefully as child;
patiently awaiting the day when the

owed, and when it came, going

lutionists as the basis for recognition
of belligerency. than would be requir
ed for an acknowledgment Of their in.
dependence. This distinction should
be kept in view when stress is laid up
on the fact that the Cubans as yet pos
sess no seaport. At the time wher
President Monroe took the final steI
of acknowledging the Independence O
Colombia and Peru in 1928, all the
important seaports of the Spanish
Main. the great Peruvian seaport ol
Callao, and the city of Lima itself were
in the hands of the Spaniards. Incom.
parably less satisfactory and promis.
ing was the position of the Insurgents
in those provinces at the much earlier
period when President Madison recog-
nized them as belligerents. When by
proclamation of neutrality, Madison
gave certain Spanish Americans bellig-
e-eut rights. he simply meant to tes-
tify to the fact that civil war existed
in parts of Spanish America, a fact
patent to his eyes and ears. So, now,
the members of the Fifty-fourth Con-
gress have but to use their own eyes
and ears to determine the question
whether, in the name of common
sense. there be not state of war in
Cuba.
The testimony to the existence of a
war, furnished by Spain herself, is
quite conclusive. We read in the
Madrid and Havana newspapers that
Spain has set on foot huge military
and naval expeditions against Cuba;
and these armaments surpass all the
efforts of the Spanish nation since the
Napoleonic wars; that there is to be a
winter campaign, and that there are
daily conflicts of armed forces. render
ed needful by the facts that the insur-
gents, already masters of the whole
interior of the eastern half of the is
land. and now invading the western
section; and. finally. that Marshal
Martinez Campos. the best General of
Spain, who already has $4,000 men at
his disposal, will confessedly need
10000 more in order to quell the in
surrection. If all this be not war,
what is it? If it do not prove the ex-
istence of civil war in Cuba. is it not
nigh time that we should ask against
whom and for what purpose are these
great Spanish armaments designed?-

BILE after their arrival Ia Washingto ton
| for the annual session, but this year
not more than dozen members OF
either House have entered the White
House gates. The President moved II
from Woodley. his country home, ear
| " on Monday morning in order that
he might be accessible to persons hav-
ing business with him. and he has re-
sumed his regular hours for the re-
ception of Congressman and the public.
b ut his solitude is in measure volun-
tary. He has hedged himself about
with so much formality that people do
not visit him except when it is absc-
lutely necessary.
For example,. the members Of the
House ard Senate object to the
rule that requires them TO explain
their business to Private Secretary
Thurber before they are admitted to
the President. Many of them abrupt-
ly decline to do SO. and when Mr..
Thurber inquiries the object of their
call they tell h i'm very frankly that it
is none of his business. It was only
last session that Senator White of Cal
ifornia offered to throw Mr.. Thurber
out of the window, and it took all of
the diplomatic ability of Senator Gray
to reconcile the irate Californian. Mr..
Thurber apologized and insisted that
he meant no offence. but Mr.. White
took the ground that Senator of the
United States ought to be allowed 10
communicate with the head of the e.-
ecutive branch of the Government
without submitting to the censorship
OF a private secretary. All members
of both Houses who have made this
point with the President are now adj
mitted to his Office without delay or
question, but very few visit him unless
they are compelled to.
He has more Republican than DEM
ocratic callers, and Mr.. Sherman, Mr..
Allison, and Mr.. Reed were among the
first to pay their respects. - Chicago

A Ghoulish Outrage.

Our dispatches tell the particulars,
in another column, of the organizing
of a mob at Topeka, Kan, to raid the
Kansas Medical college on account ol
the finding of the bodies of the deceas.
ed wives of two citizens of that town
mutilated almost beyond recognition
in the dissecting rooms of the college,
and of the calling out of the troops by
the Governor to protect the college.
If the news be true, and there is nc
reason to doubt it, the mob has very
great. If not sufficient provocation, for
its action.
The Times is bitterly opposed to
mob law in any and every case, except
for the unspeakable crime against in
nocent and helpless women; the Grim e
that condemns woman's pure and
gentle soul to dwell for the rest of her
mortal life in polluted and dishonor-
ed body, the ruined and blasted tem-
pie OF her honor, as though chained
to a corpse. But the fury OF mob
can easily evoke our indnlgent sym
pathy, if not actual support, when il
is exerted against those ghouls In hui
man folm who pursue an innocent,
pure woman's body even after death
and into the grave that by all the laws
of God and man should be her secure
and peaceful resting place.
We know that medical colleges claim
their hideous toll from death in the
profe ssed interest of the living. But
surely every instinct OF decency, every
impulse of manhood should make the
gravest of the wives and daughters Of
friends and neighbors sacred against
theft. If they must have
their subjects let them at least pay hu-
manity the decent respect of using
those poor unfortunates who are un-
known to them in life and hose deaths
have left no sorrowing circle of rela-
tiyes and friends behind.
But men who will steal, or will re-
ceive, the dead body OF a woman whom
hey knew living. and knew TO be so
pure and chaste that she would have
preferred death itself to the profana-
ion of strangers gaze and touch, such
men are hyenas, or else fiends who
lave assumed the shape of men for
he Evil Ones diabolical purposes.-
