The ENGLISH ROTHSCHILDS.

The great financial genius of the
Rothschild family, though there have
been many Of great talent, was Nathan
Mayer, OF he second generation, who
established the house OF N. NJ. Roth

flew to the stars, and groyeled In the
mud for money. He welcomed all
transactions, big or little, wherewith

the most daring Spectator OF his time
on the Stock Exchange, and the most
successful. He had carrier pigeons
and fast sailing boats to bring him the
earliest news from the war centers OF
Europe, and so help him % manipu-
late stocks. He followed Welllngton's
army TO Waterloo In person, and had
relays OF the swiftest horses, and a
fast yacht laying in the harbor at Os-
tend. So he arrived at the London
Stock Exchange, after the battle,
twelve hours ahead Of any public an
ncuncemont OF the victory, and made

dous series Of speculatiOns in history.
In 1910. when the duke Of Wellington,
then commanding in Spain. drew on
the English government for f3. 900. 900,
and the English treasury was short.
Nathan bought the drafts at a big dis
count and at once sent the money. The

almost endless. and show how strongly

Mr.. Cochran then went on to say that
the fight for the security OF property
and the prosperity of industry, begun
last year, was on again. He declared
that national issues could not be ex-
cluded from this compaign and said:
IF either Van Wyck or Low is elected,

will go to the national convention sup
porting a re-adoption of the Chicago
platform. There will not be one dis
senting vote in the whole assemblage.
Already every state in the union and

program of Chicago and pledging once

CHICAGO TEMPLE BONDS.
Miss Willard on The Lady Somersets
Election.

Miss Willard on The Lady Somerset's
Election.
Buffalo, N. Y, Oct. S0.-Asked by the
Associated Press for a more explicit de-
finition of her position on the Chicago
Temple matter and the Lady Somerset
controversy than appeared from her
remarks following the delivery of her
annual address, Miss Francis E. Will
ard said: Il do not propose to see
the temple enterprise Abandoned. l
believed my regained health should be
usd in efforts to raise money to pay in
terest on the bonds that have always
been kept up until this year, and to
secure funds whereby the S30O,OO0O
worth of Temple trust bonds can be
retired. While it is true they had no
legal responsibility whatever, the bonds
having been put forth by Mrs. Carse,
the white ribbon women have moral
responsibility and / propose to do my
utmost to see those bonds paid in
full. 100000 have already been secur-
ed of the 100000 necessary and 1 be-
lieve the good people of this country
will respond to my call. l do not pro-
pose to lay this burden upon the local
unions, but to make an appeal to the
Christian and philanthropic public"
Miss Willard added that she did not
propose that the w. c. T. L. shall alb
solutely own the temple but that the
$500, 900 be held by that body so they
should hold a controlling interest
in the enterprise.
In reply to a question as to election
of Lady Henry Somerset, during the
worlds convention, Miss Willard stated
that Lady Somerset's election was
made by the w. c. T. u. which elected
the other officers and which was the ex-
ecutive branch of the society. Nothing
unusual was done, tn Isle to represent
different countries equally, and not to
allow the country in which the cOnven-
ton happens to be to hold the balance
of power.

NOT LIKE HIS FATHER.

New York, Oct. S0.-There is
much speculation as to who of the
mayorality candidates will fall heir
to the votes that would have gone to
Henry George had he not died. 1t is
the sole discussion of the municipal
campaign. Comparatively few regard
it likely that the younger George can
poll more than fraction OF votes that
would have gone to his father, the
general opinion being that the selection
of the son, while. appropriate and
touching in abstract is uniting in
practicabality or politics. So far as the
public is aware, young George does not
represent in any essential degree the
philosophy of his father.

Lincoln, Neb., Oct. S0.-The most en-

wheat, the acreage and condition of
growing crops. The amount sown will
average fifteen per cent. greater for
the state at large. The rainfall has
been all that could be desired. The
rains were of the steady kind that
soak into the ground. The precipita-
ton for three weeks amounted to be-
tween four and five inches. Ideal con-
ditions prevail everywhere and in
Western Nebraska the seeding is not
yet finished. Considerable acreage
will yet be sown. Farmers are jubi-
liant over the condition of the growing
grain and the prospects for next years
