WORTHY OF HIS SIRE.
VIM Lloyd Garrison Pays Tribute to
Henry George and His Work.

Philadelphia, Pa, Dec. 21.-William
well known reformer, addressed the
members of the Ethical society this af-
ternoon in the the new Century hail on
THE Life, Character. and Work of
Henry George" Mr.. Garrison believes
that the late singletaxer was one of the
greatest men of all time. He said in
part:
Never did knight of old fight more
valiantly to win back the holy land
from the Saracen than did Henry
George to win his country from pauper-
ism. Long after we are gone men will
contemplate from varying points of
view this Alpine peak of moral force.
The sunset of the n neteenth century will
presage with added glory the coming
of the twenties because he lived,
thought and wrote.
When it becomes manifest that
Progress and Poverty was the bugle
blast of one deeply in earnest the battle
ragged. Georges demand that the I'M
mediate restoration of land to those
who were starving because of its mis-
appropriation was a heresy not to be
tolerated, for vested rights and priviI-
eyes were endangered by such teach
ingS. Landowners were stirred to
their moral depths and cried 'robber.
The whole scheme of taxing land val
ues only was decreed to be a scheme Of
spollatiOn. Progress and Poverty
was constantly refuted, but it constant
ly refused to stay so. Its vitality is
remarkable and it will not down"

FAVORs FOR MILWAUKEE.
New "Across the Lake" Line Will
Cause a Reduction in Rates.

Milwaukee, Dec. 21.-According to
circular issued today by F. A Butter
worth, commercial agent of the Chicago
& West Michigan, Detroit, Grand Rap
ids & Western railroads, the new
across the-lake line will commence Op-
eratiOus on December q next.
The car ferry ShenangO No. ,, will
make round trip every "A hours, wealth
er conditions permitting, between Mil
waukee, Wis, and Muskegon, Mich at
which later point it will connect with
the Chicago & West Michigan and
through it with the Detroit, Grand
Rapids & Western road. The new line
connects with the Chicago, Milwaukee
& st. Paul system on this side of the
lake.
The item of interest in their circular
is the fact that the ferry will carry
freight less than carload lots. The op-
GRAFTON of the boat under the new plan
means that Milwaukee shippers will
probably get more favorable rates on
all shipments large and small to or
from the east.

ANY MORE LELANDS?
Cy Leland Has Four of His Rela
tiYeS and Himself in Office.

Leavenworth, Dec. 21.-CoIonel D. r.
Anthony sends the following special dis
patch to his paper here:
The friends of Senator Baker and Pen
sion Agent Leland are doing everything
in their power to bring about an adjust
ment of the narshalship. Leland seems to
be obstinate and defiant.
1t would seem as though the president
had done enough for Leland already. He
has given four of his rela tives lucrative
positions and has bestowed upon Cyrus
the pension agency at Topeka. His bro
ther-in-law, Pliny Soper, was appointed
United States. district attorney for the
northern district of the Indian territory
One of his relatives Glen Miller, was ap-
pointed United States marshal of Utah
Henry Leland, brother of Cyrus. was ap-
pointed secretary of the territory of New
Mexico; while still another brother-in-law
is holding down job in the Indian serv-
ice. This would seem to border some
what on nepotism. What other national
committeeman in the United States has
received like treatment from the presi-
dent?

oppose the sport will attend in large num-
bers.
Some of the proposed changes are as fol-
lows:
l. At the beginning of play the ball
shall be put in the center of the field and
the umpire shall think of a number be-
tween l and 80. The two captains shall
guess at this number, and the one coming
the nearer to it shall be allowed to move
the ball five yards into the territory of the
other team.
g Before the ball is put into play after
a down the captain shall line up his men
and count them off as follows;
Onery onery ickory AM
Phileson, pholeson, Nicholas, Johni
Queevy, quavy,
English navy,
Stinlzlum, stanklurn, I-O-U-b -buelzI
The player on the word "buok'' shall be
known as cit" He shall kneel beside the
ball, and the members of the opposing
team shall line up opposite. The player
known as cit shall repeat 'Simon says
Thumbs up, " or "Simon says Thumbs
down, - indicating the movements as he
speaks the words, and the players of the
opposing team must initiate his move
ments. But if he merely says Thumbs
up without the ''Simon says" and an
opposing player puts his thum bs up, that
counts /, and after three such mistakes
the ball is advanced five yards. If, how
does not make a total of three errors, then
the ball goes to the opposing team and is
advanced on tag play.
8. On tag play the member Of the
team who stands highest in his classes is
given the ball TO run with it. The oppOs
ing players must touch him as he runs
and say, "Tag, you're it" But if he has
his fingers crossed at the time he does not
have to stop. If his fingers are not crossed,
he must put the ball down. Any opposing
player who is slapped three times on the
back by member of the runners team is
called ''out' and cannot tag" the run
ner. A runner cannot be tagged while he
is touching wood.
4. Any player who takes hold of an op-
posing player or who displays brusqueness
and lack of refinement shall be put into a
compartment at the side lines known as
the ''boneyard, " and he shall not be re-
leased until the captain of his team an
swers ten questions without laughing.
8. After a touchdown has been made
the professor of rhetoric shall give five
hard words from the back of the book to
the full back of the team scoring the
touchdown. If the full back spells the five
words correctly, his team is credited with
two points, the same as if a goal were
kicked. If he fails on any word, the ball

LIFE OF KINSLEY.

Rev. Arthur Rogers Spoke Last Evening
at st. Georges Church.
Rev. Arthur Rogers of st. Georges
Church, delivered q powerful lecture last
evening upon the life and character of
Charles Kinsley, poet, novelist, preacher.
The following Is a brief synopsis of the
life Of this great writer: Charles Kinsley,
an English clergyman, poet an novelist,
was born on the 18th Of June, 1919, at
Holm Vicarage, Dartmouth, Devon. He
was educated at private schools and at
Kings College, London. In 1881 he en-
tered Magdalene College, Cambridge,
where he took his degree in 1912. In the
same year he was ordained to the curacy Of
Eversly, and remained there during the
remaining 35 years until promoted. In
1874 he married Fanny, daughter of Pascoc
Grenfell, and in 184S, in his % year he
published his first volume, "The Saints
Tragedy" In 1850 he was appointed to
the professorship of modern history at
Cambridge University, and resigned in
1869.
Kinsley, though not profoundly learned,
was a man of wide and various informa-
tion, and was gifted with great powers of
language, both written and In converse
ton. There were subjects In which he
did not shine, and In many excelled.
AS preacher he was vivid, eager, earnest
and uncompromis:ng when preaching to a
courtly congregation or to his own village
poor. One of the best of his writings is a
sermon "The Message of the Church to
Working Men,"
AS novelist his chief power lay in his
descriptive power, and his novels deal in a
brilliant manner with great social ques-
tions. AS a poet he wrote very little but
what he did write came natural and with
ease, and many of his verses are worthy of
taking a. high place in English literature.
