the Politics of Britain?

LONDON, Jan. 2l.-The papers her,
have stated, and I suppose tho news hos
been cabled to you in America, that Mr.
Gladstone is liable, now that his health
and strength are improving, to return t,
the as Il member and speak to
whatever question Of Importance comes
up. You have no idea of how great an in
terest this announcement has aroused in
all classes and you can readily understand
That 1T has set every one telling Gladstone
stories. Hero is n that l heard at one
OF the clubs the other day. It may not be
strictly new, but it certainly is charactc.
istic:
1t wins almost As years ago, but Glad
stone had already become a person of i'm,
portance, that he was one day walking
along the highway between Bry1nbo nn.;
Queens Ferry and fell in with one vii
liam Grif1iths, a carter of pig iron. Wh,r
they came to Il hill, Mr.. Gladstone, scrin.:
that the horse attached to the cart would
not be able to haul the load unaidcd Il,
the top, offered to join with the cartmnn's
example and put his shoulder to the wheel
After Gladstone had left the cartman some
one told him who it was who had pushed
so ~valiantly behind the cart.
'Wull," y. said the cartman, II doau't
know he'll think O me. Ineyer sirrct!
him nor nothin,'
Another story exhibiting the same help.
full trait of the great Englishman is toll
of an act performed during his first pre-
miership. The carrier between Chester
and Northrcr had a barred of beer to un
load for Il farmer in Moore lane, heal onn
of Mr.. Gladstone's lodges. Just how the
beer was to be got down the carrier could
not tell, for he was alone, and the barrel
was too heavy for one man to handle
While he was cudge]ing his thick brain
over the matter Gladstone strolled along.
with an ak Oh his shoulder, being intent
on one of his famous tree feelings. 10 the
premier the carrier appealed for help,
which was as freely given as had been the
assistance to the cartInan years before.
Nov, old comradc," said the mai,
when tho barrel was safe on the ground.
"if you'll come up to the village, I'll buy
you a pint of the best"
Mr.. Gladstone declined, with a smile
and when the carrier knew who had help
ed him he was at first greatly mortified.
But" he said OH reflection, II guess
no harm be done, for he helped me so will
inglike."
One day at Hawardcn Mrs. Gladstone
was walking along the road a short dis
lance from the castle when che met so,nr
visitors. They took her for a serving WON,
an and asked If 1.-The old gentleman" was
at home.
Follow me-, she said, IF you wish to
see him."
Then she led the way to the front deer
and called out, civilian, you're wantcd!'
"Golly," said. one of the visitors under
his breath. "She must be the missis."
1t is said that Nh. Gladstone enjoys this
story greatly, and he or his wife mus,
surely have given it out.
If he shall return to the house, it is
morally certain that there will be "a very
notable shaking up of the dry bones there

SYMINGTON FOUND AT LAST
He Is Now Living With Friends al

And Says That He Went With the Houberts
to Protect His Ex-Wife From

The correctness of the account of the
Houbert-S -Symington affair, as published
in former issue Of The Herald. was as.
certained last evening on the return OF
DR.. Prltchard from Esconddo. The doc
tor was called TO that city to perform a
peculiar surgical operation. and while
there saw Symington and several of those
connected with the case.
at is entirely true, said he to a Her
aid representative. that Houbert mar
ried the divorced wife of Symington and
that all three of the parties have been liv-
ing together in the mountains. Syming-
ton has acted in the capacity of servant,
but is now in Escondido. He is looking
very pale, as though Just recovering from
severe attack of illness.
"He told me that he did not trust
Houbert, with all his igh-sounding titles,
ann that he accompanied them in order
to protect his ex-wife. In order to do this
he assumed the position OF household
menal and went with the Houberts.
What does he say about the stories
that have been circulated of late?' wa:
asked.

SHOE DRUMMER AND BARR
The Man Who Committed a Murder in
San Francisco
II Is Just Possible That the nan Formerly
Lived in Los Angeles-Talks With Men
Upon the Subject

TeIegraphic advices from San Francisco
bring intelligence that Clarence Barr was
fatally stabbed by C. Henderson, a shoe
drummer, last Sunday morning in a
drunken brawl. Henderson is well-known
in this city and was at one time an en-
ployee OF the Boston shoe store.
The affray occurred at the Baldwin
hotel bar and was caused by dispute over
the drinks. Barr was at one time a
local prlze-tighter, but before his death
became a Chinatown guide. He and Hen
derson became acquainted in the barroom
and several drinks were INDUCED in at
the expense of neither. Finally Hender-
son ordered round and after being
served claimed that the bill should be
footed by Barr. This precipitated quar-
rel IN which the drummer cut Barr In the
abdomen, with keen-edged pocketknife.
The wounded man was conveyed TO the
hospital and had mis- wound dressed, put
died shortly afterward.
Henderson was locked up on charge
of murder. Concerning his antecedentS
little has been ascertained until last even
ing, when il was rumored that Hender-
son was at one time shoe clerk IN TINS
city.
Joseph Mesmer, the proprietor OF the
Queen shoe store, was seen by Herald
representative at his home on Hawkins
street, East Los Angeles, last evening.
and sald: Il am not entirely sure that
it is the asme man, but think perhaps
Henderson was employed by the Boston
shoe house store in this city some years
ago. | knew man by that name about
eight years ago. At that time he was, as
have saio. employed by Nathan Benia-
min, whose store was located in the
Downey block. Henderson remained il
his EN- ploy for about two years and then
started in business for himself in 2 small
way. This venture did not prove so re-
| munerative as he expected, and he con-
cuded to accept q position as traveller
for several eastern shoe firms. This he
was engaged in at the last time l heard
| from him.
'in appearance he is rather thin and
| his features are very pronounced.
| should Judge that he weig he'd about $50
pounds and was about feet 91a inches in
| height and we'll proportioned. | believe
that he has family now residineg in
| Ventura.
During my acquaintance with him I
was lied TO believe him a quiet gentle
manly young man. and if it is the same
person now accused of murd ering man
! IN San Francisco, l am greatly aston
| ished."
Nathan Benjamin, for whom it is said
| Henderson worked, was also seen, but de-
MED all knowledge of the man. He has
a man in his employ at the present time
named Henderson. but this man is no
relative of the c. B. Henderson lncarGer
ated in San Francisco.

dence to show that Mrs. Ormandy knew
the coin to be counterfeit. The motion
was denied, and the attorney tried an
other tack. He asked that the case be
continued until today at 8 a. m. in order
to allow him time to review a few author
tiles. He claimed that in the ewes Of the
law the wife is not reponsible, being pre-
sumably coercsd by the husband. The
csae was accordingly continued as asked.
The specimen of counterfeit coin passed
by Mrs. O-mandy is fair imitation at
the government product. 1t is triite
light, but otherwise might pass under a
casual inspection. The prisoners seem
to be very hardened with regard TO their
crime, and the most conclusive evidence
failed to cause them to blush for their
wrong doing. Ormandy himself was very
angry at the way in which the news
pa pers had exposed his nefarious proceed
fngs, end denounced them generally,
shaking with the com bined effect OF rage
and the morphine he had imblbed. HIS
trial is expected to take place after his
vife's has been disposed of.

GUY B. BARHAM WAS THERE
The Police Board Holds Very Smooth
Session
A Full Board Present and Everything was
Easy SaiIing-The Board Adjourned

Police Commissioner Guy b. Barham,
looking as natty and debonaire as ever,
sat in his usual place when the board was
called to order yesterday morning. Every
member OF the commission was promptly
in his seat when the gavel fell. his COL
leagues all congratulated Mr.. Barham upon
the fact that he was still and was to re-
main Indefinitely one OF them.
The first business transacted was action
upon Commissioner Barham' $ motion that
the claims of Mrs. c. W. Walker: the Mlle
of a police officer who separated from her
husband, be denied until such time as
the courts shall have passed upon the
troubles of the two. Mrs. Walker wants
hsr husband to assist in the maintenance
OF his family. She has been denied d.
vorce. Commissioner Barham motlon
was seconded BY Commissioner Field ana
unanimously adopted.
The application of Theodore Timm for q
saloon license at 1920 San Fernando street
was denied, pending investigatlon; LOT
one week. The application OF Wiiliam

oyercharge in his license fee, was recon-
mended for favorable action by the COIN

requests to transfer saloon licenses were

report.
The application of B. T. Elledge
for a position on the regular force,
we're filed as was also the application OF
d. Carr, manager of the Free Labor bu-
reau, to be a special officer.
The mavor called attention to the TACT
that while the city has established
branch police station on Boyle Heights,
there appears to be no real use for such
an Improvement in that district besides
which the chief states that with his
present force. it is impossible for him tc
detail any men in that locality. The
chief wants branch station in the south
western part OF the city. The matter was
referred to a committee consisting oi
Commissioners Field and Weber and
Chief Glass to investigate.
The clerk was inst ucted to request Of
the council another $50, with which to
complete the repairs upon the female
prison in East Los Angeles. Then the
chief sent for the mem bers OF the force,
and the mem bers of the commission and
the plue-coated guardians were all pho6o.
graphed in a group from the city hal
steps. 1t was on the whole the most sue
