To the Doorkeeper''
Such was the order, verbatim ct punc-
tuatim, written across a sheet of note
paper lengthwise, and mailed to me at
the Tavistock hotel, Covent Garden,
London, August 10, 1889, by A. Andrews,
an officer of the house of commons, who
had been introduced to me by a member
OF parliament, and had shown me some
courtesies In that famous chamber on the
previous day.
The great commoner was at home in
Hawarden, celebrating his golden we'd
ding, and expressed regret at not see
Ing him amid the scenes of his parlia-
mentary triumphs, and remarked that
1t would be a partial compensation If
could have his signature upon some off,
cial document. The order was official,
and had been preserved by Mr.. Andrews
among his personal archives.
On the evening oAmy visit to the houses
OF parliament, the great Irish leader,
John Stuart Parnell, sat on the front
bench Of the Liberal side, his tall beaver
hat tipped we'll forward to shade his
eyes, thus giving him a rather sinister
appearance.
Opposite him and his colleagues sat Ar
thur James Balfour, then chief secretary
for Ireland, and since first lord Of the
treasury and leader Of the house Of COM
mons. In the animated debate which
followed Balfour showed himself we'll
equipped and resourceful, giving ready
replies to the pointed and searching ques-
tions fired at him from the Liberal side
Of the house.
AS I surveyed the scene from the Wis
ltors' gallery, I took out my memoran-
dunn book to make notes, when was in
stantly approached by one of the ushers
and politely informed that 1 was trans

however, affable and communicative, and
pointed out the notable members the be-

vacant throne beyond, the press gallery
with Its busy writers, and the ladies

that he was making great Roadway in the

1t was his wont to reach his committee
room about 4 D. m. and he rarely left
the building till midnight, and frequently
prolonged his stay far into the morning.
Whenever any important measure ex-
cited unusual interest, Mrs. Gladstone
never failed to occupy a seat reserved for
her in the ladies' gallery. On ordinary
occasions, in her absence, he invariably
walked to his town residence in Downing

The close intermingling Of ways Of
peace and ways of war is seen in
China. where two rival alien powers
have been disputing, each over the
right of the other to construct railroads
and develop the resources Of the coun-
try. Their opposition is based on the
knowledge that such extension of the
appliances Of civilization Is means Of
political control and a source Of advan-

sake of preparation for war, and go
to war for the sake of the blessings OF
peace that is the paradoxicaI rule Of

Cumberland, Wis, Oct 5.-Reports
from country districts tell of the ind
ing Of the bodies of an unknown man
and boy in the woods between Al
mena and Poskin Lake, burned beyond
recognition. Several persons are still
missing, and these are supposed to be
two of them. Peter Ecklund, who was
seriously burned, was brought to this
city in critical condition, and it is
thought he cannot live. A four-year-
old daughter of Rudolph Miller and a
seven-year-old son Of Nels Swanson
were found in the woods mile and
half northeast of Almena SO badly
burned that they cannot recover. Mrs.
Frank Henrichmeier, at Poskin Lake,
died of premature childbirth as the re-
suit of fright and exhaustion in fight
, ing fires. Henrichmeier lost his home
and everything he possessed. Mrs. Jo-
seph Seidd, two miles south of Almena,
gave birth to a child in the woods
while desperately fighting fire to save
the lives Of two children, who were
badly burned. The infant died and
was left in the field, and she barely es-
capped with her life She is in crit
zeal condition.
