William Hayden English was born in Lexington, Scott county, Ind, on the 22d of August, 1922. His father, Elijah G. English, was one of the pioneers of Indiana and occupied many positions of public trust in that state for forty years. William English was educated in the common schools and at Hanover college, studied law and was admitted to practice in the United States supreme court before he was twenty-three years old. He was also deputy clerk of his native county and postmaster of Lex ington before he reached his majority. From 1S43 to 1S44 he was chief clerk in the Indiana house of representatives. At the state convention in 1850, which framed the constitution of Indiana, he acted as principal secretary, and he was a member and speaker of the first house of representatives after its adop- tion in 1851 During President Polk administration he was a clerk in the United States treasury department and he held a clerkship in the United States senate about 1850. Two years later he was elected to congress as democrat and continued to serve until 1861, when he resigned and embarked in the busi- ness of banking. He was identified prominently with much of the import ant legislation of the time, and was the author of a compromise measure in re- lation to the admission of Kansas as a state, which became law and was the cause of much heated political contro- versy. This was known generally as ''the English bill" From 1853 to 1861 he was one of, the regents of the Smithso- nian Institution in Washington.
 In 1880 Mr. English was unanimously nominated for vice president on the l democratic ticket with General Han cock. His letter of acceptance was an indication of his political character. He | declared that the contest Was ''between l the people endeavoring to regain the po- | 1itical power which rightfully belonged to them, etc., etc., and 100000 federal offlce-holders and their packers, ham, | pered with place and power, etc, etc. , Among the promises which he made in his letter. to follow a democratic vlcto- ry, was that 'the toiling millions of our own people, will be protected from the | destructive competition of the Chinese.'' l A very bitter fight was made on his whole record by the republican press. Ii was recalled that he voted in congress
 against the expulsion of Preston S.
 Brooks from congress, for the assault
 on Charles Sumner, and the story was l brought up again of his having been accused in 1S45 of fraudulent pension transaction.

Piscataway is one of the oldest towns
in New Jersey. 1t WAS founded in 1866
and was intended TO be the capital of
the colony. but it did not grow, while
its rivals, New Brunswick, Railway and
Elizabeth, became thriving villages. At
present there is little to interest the cas-
ual visitor TO the sleepy village, but that
little is good of It's kind.
There is old Mr. Mundy, the village

there is the old sider mill whose ram

Chief Means Of Defense Among All Old
world Apes.
Among all old world apes tho teeth
are tho chief weapons for defense
against natural foes and for combats for
mates or tribal supremacy. The CANNES
are in most cases enormously developed,
insomuch that i'll informed naturalists
have suggested that near relationship
must exist between the primates and
the carnivora. As matter Of fact, these
formidable teeth have nothing to do
with alimentation, but are as purely
weapons Of war as are the bayonet and
the maxim gun. In practically every
emergency demanding unusual energy,
obstinacy sid courage they come into
play.
In every conflict with the world, the
flesh and the devil-as such things are
understood in pithecoid s0oiety-tho
temporal and masseter muscles are the
chief arbiters of war. To become greRt
and powerful anthropoid it is absolute.
ly and brutality necessary TO have q
large and strong jaw, to give firm at
tachment to the teeth and good leverage
to the muscles. That for an immense
epoch our prchumam ancestors achieved
success in life in like manner is as clear
as the print of "Maga" TO those who
have learned TO read naturo's handwrit-
ing.
Since those days of true Arcadian
simplicity our life has become bewilder-
ingly complex, ard our methods for set

James A Herne, the author of shore
Acres which comes TO the Grand
Opera House tonight. is constantly
receiving letters from people who have
seen his play in the different cities.
and many of them contain some very
laughable suggestions. One man
wanted the author to buy a large clock
and have Uncle Nat wind 1t up every
night before he went to bed Mr.. Herne
thought the funniest letter was one
from a man asking why the author
didn't add another act to "Shore
Acres just to show how happy the
players would be on Christmas Day.
