OLYMPIA WASHINGTON: FRIDAY EVENING" JUNE g. l898

at hand, but his speech was general
assault on the West. He exhausted
his time, but Lewis, seeing a chance
to force the West against the East by
this speech, gave Walker some OF his
remaining time. Walker kept up his
philippe against everything western
and lost the Minnesota vote, which
had been partly groomed anyway for
the bill.
Tongue of Oregon came putting and
blowing into the House rs though he
had run a race. He offered an amend
ment as a substitute, naming Portland
instead of Seattle. Lewis and Stone
made the parliamentary point that
they had suspended the rules by get
ting the two-thirds vote to take up
the bill, and amendments could not be
offered, except by unanimous consent.
Lewis pulled ont his precedents. 1t
was Al looktO-lOl IllONC. hCtu SuS-
tanned the point rel uctantly-Port-
land was dead ut the first stroke .
Stone closed the debate for the COM
mittee and Lewis cut off Cannon from
closing for the floor opposition by de-
clining to speak in the remainder of
his time, and, instead, demanded the
vote. The work was done.
The Speaker had to put the ques.
ton. Cannon demanded lewiston;
the count showed 129 for the bill and
p against it, an unanimous Demo-
cratic and Populistic vote, and a good,
complimentary number of Republic
cans. More than the necessary two
thirds by hundred. The big three"
was beat-the first time in this Con-
gress. Reed, Dingley and Cannon
were "clearly up against it" when
they fought Seattle and her friends.
1t was pretty fight, a hot one, and
admittedly one of the finest pieces of
organization ever seen on the floor.

Best Side of Cemetery.
Cincinnati ENQUIRER.

Probably few people know there is q
choice side to every cemetery. Thus, in
some parts of the world, the eastern
portion, without regard to its situation
is always deemed the most desirable
This preference arises from the old
tradition that our Lord will appear
from the east. It is also believed that
the dead in the eastern portion will be
the first to rise, then those in the
southern, western and northern in
order.
In England it was once the custom
of laying felons and other bad char
acters on the north aide of the church
The custom of laying the dead in a
certain direction is responsible for the
east wind, " The wind of the dead mems
feet"

tcrcst the visitor, was one of the posts by
which the English first held the conquered

(of which Hawarden is q modified form)
means fort on the BRIDGE" Prince LEW

ent mansion was built early In the 18th
century. The old castle ruin and adjacent

work of Gladstone, the woodchopper. The
last day he spent at his favorite exercise
was Just after great storm, which had
played havoc with the trees. The air was
damp and chilly; the sig hit of 50 much debris
stimulated him to unusual exertion, &C.
we're cold and illness resulted, and his old
time exercise was abandoned.
The Gladstone Family.
Eight children were born to Mr.. and Mrs
Gladstone. One daughter died in infancy,
two daughters are married, and Helen, still
single, holds the honorable place of vice
principal of Newman college at Cam
bridge. She ranks high among the educat-
ed women of the world, and the institution
over which she presides is noted for its po-
sition on the advanced education of women.
OF the four sons, one Is rector of Hawarden,
another is in parliament, the third is active
In politics, and the fourth is In business at
Calcutta.
There has always been naive simplicity
in Mrs. Gladstone, especially when speak
ing about her husband, often amusing and
sometimes affecting. She was never back
ward in helping his canvass and evidently
considered him the greatest statesman
England ever produced. In an address at
home rule meeting of the campaign Of
1892 she assumed as an admitted fact that
no one was at heart really opposed to her
husband, and of Earl Compton, the Liberal
candidate, she said to the voters, "You are
supporting good and an honest man; but,
more than that, you are supporting my hus
band in his fight for justice to Ireland"
A Sunday at Hawarden was not long ago
described as follows:
"A curious group about the door Of Har
warden church waited to see the Gladstones
arrive The great statesman used to sit In
q seat Just in front of the pulpit and usually
read the Scripture service for the day.

English papers, long public speeches are

Gladstone probably made more speeches
than any other English statesman. Thanks
to his wonderful physique, he never flinched
because Of inclemeut weather, and among
the nlarvcls of his career was the way In
which he would stand for hours in pelt-
ing rain sometimes while he expounded to
the voters his views on the vital topics OF
the day.
Mrs. Gladstone invariably occupied
place near him when he was speaking and
was always ready with wraps and refresh
ments for him the moment he had finished.

pccially during his later years, but in the
