A Description of Jowctt.

In "The Life and Letters of Benjamin
Jowett" everything relating to the master
of Baliol is presented. He was born at
Peckham in 1917 and educated Mt st.
Paul's school. In 1885, when be was IL,
he was elected to scholarship at Baliol.
The family were without means, and
young Jowett may have felt the stress OF
poverty. But he was hardworking man,
soon obtained fellowship, and then there
followed tutorship, and matters were I'M
proved. Jowett's appearance then Is thus
described:
"His personality was very impressive.
The look of great refinement, yet OF manly
strength, of subtlcty combined with sim.
plicity, his unaffected candor, tempered
with reserve, could not fail to attract,
even when IL baffied observation. Hit
soft, wavy locks were already touched
with gray, beginning to rcccde from thu
temples, so as to make more prominent
the expansive brow, In which phrenolo
gists would say that 'idealism' was bal
snced with comparison and 'causality.
His full gray eyes spoke Of the clearness
the mind within, yet had dreamy. wist
| full look, sometimes increased by a sligh
twitching Of the eyclid. His mouth In re
| pose appeared full and slack, but the ex
| prcssive lips were under absolute control
He was always clean shaven, except tn
scanty whiskers, and the small chin SCENE
hardly To promise the strength Of volitio
which lay concealed within"

Cabinet Crisis In Spain.

Madrid, Sssay 24.-The position of the
cabinet is the theme OF most anxious
discussion on all sides. The cabinet sat
in council last evening and it was de-
cided to appear before the cortes today
and give explanations OF the Tetuan-
Comas incident OF Friday last, even If
the Liberals should absent themselves.
A special committee Of the chamber of
depuu.s wiu DC ,uptruuteu 20 CON
slider the budget bill without delay.
seldom in the history of the cortes
has an event created such q sensation as
the Tetuan- -Comas incident. 1t Is diff
cult 20 conceive how staid and ex-
perienced statesman like the Duke OF
Tetuan could have SO completely LOST
his self control on so slight provoca-
ton. 1t is believed Senor Sagasta Is
willing to do all he consistently can to
minimize the difficulties of the situation
| but IL seems impossible that the Duke

CUSTOMERS ARE ANXIOUS.
BALDWIN & COMPANY'S BUCKET
SHOP IN NEW YORK SUSPENDS.
The Firm Occupied Elaborately Furnished
Rooms in the Wall Street District.

New York. May 24.-The Herald says:
One of the best known bucketshop wire
systems in the country, that OF Baldwin
q Co. of Wall street. near William street,
has been doing no business during the
last four days, and neither Of the mem
bers of the firm has been present TO an
swer to inquiries of the many persons
who have sought information.
The distrust which has been occasioned
by the crusade of the Stock Exchange
against unauthorized brokers and the
recent raids upon bucketshops doing
business openly in Wall street have
convinced Baldwin & Co. that il would
be advisable 10 cease business for a time.
The firm occupy elaborately furnished
offices, and have been exceedingly pros
porous. The members of the concern
are said to be wealthy. and the business
done by them has been of the most ex-
tensive character. They have had a sys-
tenn of agencies or correspondents ex-
tending all through the New England
states, through the middle West and in
many parts of the South. How the
sheets" Of the concern stood at the time
IL was decided to cease business tenn
porarily Is matter OF speculation, but
from the wide operations of the firm
there is certain to be great interest
shown by customers in the me ny towns
In which they were represented
The members of the concern are
Charles, A. T. and Frank Baldwin. They
began in 1892 a bucketshop business in
Boston. which failed on April 10, 1895,
with liabilities of $25O,0OO. Then tf ey
came to New York and started bucket
shop, which failed with more than
sl,000,000 represented on It's sheets. Re-
Gently the brothers opened bucketshop
at 40 Wall street. which was the clear
ing house of great system of bucket
shops throughout the country.
