JOSEPH CHAMBERLAIN. state for the col
onies He was born in London in 1885,
was educated at University college
school and became a member of a firm
of Birmingham wood screw makers. He
made and inherited great deal of mon
ey, and when he retired from business
in 1874 his income was said to be fully
$3.50, 900 year. His Radical views and
his marked talent as public speaker
speedily gave him great local reputa-
ton, and after occupying various offices
in Birmingham he was thrice elected
mayor, in 1874, 1875 and 1875.
In the last named year he entered
parliament, where he soon won recogni-
ton as one of the most virile politicians
in English public life. When Gladstone
became premier, in 1880, Chamberlain
was nominated president of the board Of
trade, with seat in the cabinet, and
prepared and passed the bankruptcy act
now in force. So great was his prestige
that he was generally considered the
most available man to succeed Gladstone
as premier.
He was president of the local govern
ment board in Gladstone's cabinet of
1886, but when the premier's home rule
policy was outlined Chamberlain, who
is a pronounced Unionist, resigned be-
cause he could not agree with his chiefs
attitude toward Ireland He at once
withdrew from the Liberal party, has
since trained with the conservatives and
made the motion that brought the down
fab of the Rosebery ministry. In Au-
gust, 1887, he was appointed a commits
sioner for England to settle the fisheries
dispute with the United States, and
while in Washington met Miss Mary
Endicott, daughter of Hon. William
@. Endicott, President Cleveland's first
secretary of war, and she became the
English statesman's third wife in No
vember, 1888.
Quite naturally Mr. Chamberlain is
not great favorite in Ireland, but the
English working classes idolize him be-
cause of his advocacy of the old age pen
sion act and various socialistic ideas that
he is endeavoring to chrystallize into
laws. Mr.. Chamberlain has two grown
up children, one of whom is said to be
older than his present wife.

THERE seems to be a tendency on the
part of many of the free silver leagues
which are being formed to go outside of
their legitimate sphere by taking shot
at the national banks. To illustrate: the
league recently organized at Wichita
numbers among its resolutions the follow
ing: Resolved. that We hold that the power
to control and regulate a paper cur
rsncy is inseparable from the power to
coin money, and hence that all currency
intended to circulate as money should be
issued, and its volume controlled by the
general government only and should be
legal tender. Free silver men should be
careful about this as the suspicion may
arise that they are Populists, and if that
should occur the usefulnesP of the or
ganization will be at an end.

prominent members settled in Washing
ton county. The present Democratic
gubernatoria1 candidate was born in
Adair county June 3, 1e41, was educat-
ed in the local schools, studied law in
the Office Of his father and was admit
ted to the bar the year the war closed.
Locating in Harrodsburg, he built up B
successful law practice and became such
a popular and powerful politician that
in 1881 he was elected attorney general
of the state on the Democratic ticket.
In accordance with an old and we'll
known Kentucky custom, he has been
called General Hardin ever since. His
regime was SO popular that he was twice
reelected, with little opposition, and
for 10 years oficiated as attorney gen.
eraL -Four years ago he developed for
midable strength as a candidate for the
gubernatorial nomination, but in three
cornered fight between himself, John
Young Brown and Cassius M. Clay, Jr.,
Brown was declared victor by the Demo-
cratic hosts.
Candidate Hardin is a man Of fine
presence, and his simplicity in dress and
his marked democracy of manner have
been elements that have materially con-
tributed toward forming his popularity.
Every man in Kentucky calls him Wat
Hardin, and he prides himself on being
a man Of the people He is an excellent
political manager, and it is alleged that
as an orator he has few equals and no
superiors in the Bourbon State. He
knows the value of hearty hand shake
as we'll as any politician on earth, and
his stslwart arm can give pump ham
die substantial handicap and yet win
every time when it comes to matter Of
endurance. He has plenty of ''honest"
and sound money and can we'll afford
to crafty his love for the great game Of
politics

II is favorable indication of return

THE statistical abstract issued by the
secretary of the treasury reveals the fact
that Notwithstanding the prohibitory leg
islation and other restrictions and the
greatly increased cost to the consumer
the consumption of liquor per capita is
now four times what it was in 1850 in
this country. In 1850 it was 408 gallons,
in 1875 it was S67 gallons and in 1892 it
was 1904 gallons. Some of this increase
may be attributed to the arts but most of
it is probably owing to the greater use
of beer and wine instead of stronger
beverages.

REV. ". MACKENZIE.

South Africa and is still stationed at
Hankey, near Port Elizabeth. Professor
Mackenzie is 36 years of age and is one
of Scotland Is best known living clergy
men. After thorough preparatory edu-
cation in two Scotch schools young Mac
kenzie entered the University of Edin-
burgh, where he won two class medals
for logic and metaphysics and was grad
mated with first class honors in 1881.
He is also a graduate Of the Congrega-
tiona1 Theological Hall, of which DR..
Lindsay Alexander was principal.
In 1882 he accepted a call to the Con-
gregationa1 church of Montrose, and
shortly thereafter was sent to Gottingen,
Germany, to pursue a special course of
study. In 1889 he began his work in
Edinburgh as the pastor Of Morningside
church. When he assumed his duties,
the congregation numbered So persons
and worshiped in a rented hall, but in
six years the energetic young clergyman
succeeded in building up one Of the lar
gest and most influential churches in
the city. The membership increased to
gao, the congregation secured build
ing of its own, and in recognition of
his remarkable services the Scottish
Congregational clergy elected him chair
man Of their governing body.
In 1889 Professor Mackenzie also be-
came editor of The Scotch Congrega-
tionalist, and in 1891 wrote long ar
ticle on 1.-THE Ethics Of Gambling
that attracted widespread attention and
has been published in book form. He
has contributed to many of the leading
magazines, and his address before the
Congregational union of Scotland on
''The Living Christ, the Actual Ruler Of
the Earth, - has already passed through
three editions. He inherits his talent for
authorship from his father, who has
written "Austral Africa, - 'fTen Years
North of the Orange River and other
works that have achieved considerable
success.
Professor Mackenzie is described as
being thoroughly evangelical, well in
formed concerning the questions of the
time, unusually erudite in philosophy
and Biblical knowledge, logical and
{ convincing as a reasoner and powerful
as a speaker aud writer.

Portland, Me. In 1899 he was elected
president of Colby university, and his
great work in building up that institu-
ton has proved stepping stone to his
new Office in Washington.
DR.. Small had made a great record
as the head of Colby university, and the
people of Maine despaired of getting as
good a man to succeed him. When
young Whitman donned the presidential
harness, he promptly proceeded to sur
prise them. TIE first thing he noticed
was that the college, considering its i'm
portance, did not have the attendance
that was its just due. He accordingly
planned sort Of collegiate lecture tour
and thoroughly covered the Pine Tree
State, eloquently singing the praises Of
the college and pointing out the benefits
that students derived. The result was a
large increase in attendance, and in
numerous other ways he increased the
prosperity and efficiency Of the univer-
sity.
DR.. Whitman is handsome man, OF
commanding physique, and is not only
interested in athletics, but is himself an
athlete. He is particularly fond of base
ball, rowing and tennis. He has rich,
resonant voice, is an eloquent speaker
and has a courtly and dignified manner.
He takes the helm at Colum bian univer-
sity at a very promising time, for the
trustees are raising a guarantee fund Of
e15, 900 a year for five years, and the
college seems about to enter upon new
era of prosperity. During the past year
500 students attended the institution.

WHEN Justice Brown of the federal
supreme court delivered his notable ad-
dress ct the recent Yale commencement
in which he handled the trusts and cor
porations without gloves, it was pre-
dicted that he would be called an an
archist b. the monopolists. Already one
of their papers protests against the
speech and compares his utterances with
those of Leweiling, Waite, Coxey and
Altgeld. Among the many forcibls pas
sages in that address is this one:
If no student can light his lamp with
out paying tribute to one company; II no
housekeeper can buy a LOund of meat or
sugar without swelling the receipts OF
two or three all-pervAding trusts, what is
to prevent the entire productive interest
of the country becoming ultimately abb
sorbed by hundred gigantic corpora

With few more judges like Brown,
Caldwell and Martin of this state there
is hope that the courts may yet become a
factor in reform.

DR.. Whitman of Columbian University Has
Had Brief but Brilliant Career.
Rev. Dr. B. L. Whitman has only
been out of college eight years, but he

ton as an educator and public speaker
and has just been called to fill the i'm
portant post Of president of Columbian
university, at Washington. DIR. Whit
man was born in Nova Scotia 80 years
ago, was graduated from Worcester
academy in 1888, and then entered
Brown university, which he left in 1887
with the degree of A. B., and from

EVILS OF GOLD STANDARD.
Indians in Yuoatan Say it Cuts Theiz
Wages in Two.


NEW YORK, July s-A special to the
World from Balize, says: The Indian
mahogony cutters complain that the
adoption by the colony of the gold stand
ard has cut their wages in two. They
have sent one of their chiefs here to de-
mand that the silver coins which they
have received in payment FOR their WORK
be accepted at their par value and not
subjected TO \ discount.
Il is impossible to convince the Indians
that a gold standard is an advantage to
the country as they point TO the fact that
they have been juggled out of half of
their pay.

annexed to Mexico which still maintains
its right to this region. The Yucatan
people argue that the case is precisely
similar to that in Venezuela where the

"I perceive that you have cold"
With a look full of intense sympathy
the young man who uttered these words
leaned slightly forward as he gazed earn
estly at the beautiful girl he addressed,
who sat opposite, and violently sneezed by
way of answer.
"Yes, Miss Calliope," he went on, en-
couraged by her silence, land l am sorry
to see it. In this enlightened age, where
scientific investigation has done so much
to reveal the hidden mysteries of all all
ments, the common cold has by no means
been overlooked. l will pass over briefly

ceed to the cure. To cure a cold" he con-
tinued, drawing his chair slightly nearer,

creased circulation in order to Counteract
the congestion. This is done in various
ways. The old-fashioned method of taking
hot drink before going to bed, and all OF
the attendant miseries, was but blind
cropping after the truth. Some doctors rec
ommend a brisk walk; others believe i'll

circulation. But''-and here he gently took

And with grateful look in her deep-blue
eyes she replied:
