his hatred of the Turk. His appeals to
Great Britain and Europe on behalf of
the Armenians, issued two years ago,
were powerfully pathetic and his ar
raignment of the sultan was sweeping
and convincing. Starting in his polit-
ical career as tory, he eventually be-
came liberal in all his views, defend
ing the cause of suffering humanity at
home and abroad.
Born in the early days of the century
with Dickens, Thackeray, Lincoln,
Longfellow and many other distin-
guished men, he survived them so long
as to seem to be of different genera
ton. Yet, as fact, be- attained dis
tinction before any of these, and held
his prominence and his infinite popu-
larity to the very last.
Mr.. Gladstone was born at Liverpool
December 20, 1909, his father being Sir
John Gladstone, well-known and
prosperous merchant of that city. Mr..
Gladstone had all the advantages of a
thorough training in youth, being edu-

MRS GLADSTONE.

Der of that body as long as he lived.
1t may not be generally known that the
illustrious Briton had at one time an
ambition to be lawyer; in fact, in
1888 he entered Lincoln's Inn, where
he studied six years before abandon
ing the idea, to devote himself to schoi-
arship, literary work and statecraft, in
all OF which he attained the greatest
eminence. :*.5ssaf.s ~, n. -zss!. r
It is scarcely possible to recapitulate
in brief sketch the great work per-
formed by this remarkable man, who
was poet, orator, scholar, statesman,
diplomat, lnguist, essayist and his
torian, and whose life forms so close a
part of the development Of his country
at home as wei; as in the colonies. Be
ginning his public career five years be-
fore the reign Of Victoria it continued
unbroken, and there was not an event
of any Importance in her reign with
which he failed il some manner to be
identified. Il z5.5

Especial Correspondence

Especial Corresp0ndence.1 ss
That William Ewart Gladstone, the
greatest Englishman Of the CEN
fury, is nearing his end was an
nounced recently in short cable
dispatch which suited that he had at
length stopped work" Ever since he
resigned the British premiership to
Lord Rosebery in 1893, Mr.. Gladstone
has been sufferer from neuralgia. A
year or more ago it was claimed that
he had lost his eyesight. This report,
although exaggerated, was not without
foundation, for he has had more or
less trouble with his eyes for at least
five years, and in the performance of
his literary work has had to rely upon
stenographers and friends.
Mr.. G]adstone's last public utterance
was made on St. Patrick's day, when
he sent message to the Irish people
which preached moral and sent a
thrill through every Irish patriot. LET
Ireland be Que in spirit, and your cause
will be irresistible" wrote the veneer
able statesman. Unfortunately the
rishrepresentatives in parliament seem
unwilling to heed their friends adj
vice, for instead of working as unit
for the liberia ton of their island they
antagonize each other and seek relief
from the conservative party when, by
united action, they could restore the
liberals to power and secure home rule
on the equitable lines laid down by Mr..
Gladstone himself.

land was exceeded in virility only by

CYRUS ELLWOOD.

had mot attended dancing parties or gone
to theaters or had his summer outings.
Cyrus Elwood believed that the pleas
ures of the world corrupted boys, and
that it would not do for his son to min
gle with these spoiled and petted chill
dren and have his head filled with non
sense.
So Burt was allowed to see all the
pleasures of the town at distance. but
he was not allowed to taste any of them,
and the result was that his appetite was
sharpened. He dared not openly covet
the luXuries which he saw others en-
joying, but he longed for them in secret,
and he stealthily waited for the time
when he could break away from paren-
tai control and find out about things for
himself.
He was known as "good boy''-that
is, he lived in state of terror and was
afraid to openly break over the rules
which had been laid down for him by
his father. His small vices were prac-
ticed under cover. A mothers influence
might have helped him to live through
the ordeal, but his mother had died
years before. He showed no genuine
ambition to learn his fathers business
because he was at least bright enough
to understand that he would be very
rich man some day, and it wouldn't
make any difference then whether he
was good salesman or not.
In short, Cyrus Elwood's infallible
plan failed miserably. The son sulked
and obeyed and waited until his father
died, and then he showed the results of
~ years of careful "business" training.
AS he had never been permitted to wear
good clothes, he now made himself
ridiculous with satin-faced coats, pearl
buttons and all kinds of extravagances.
He crowded himself with jewelry I'M
til he resembled king of barbaric
times. He did not know the young men
and women of his own degree of wealth,
and could not be at home with them, for
his long bondage had given him the car
rage and manners of an embarrassed
pillow boy. He sought cheap and f1ashy
women and spent money on them. His
men associates were of the vulgar and
sporty classes. He became conceited by
reason CT his sudden wealth, and of
course he drank too much and was
nuisance generally, and everyone mar
veled that an infallible rule should fail.

HE PREFERRED TO STARVE.
on One of Its Proud Spirited
Recipients.

The reporter on his way uptown was
stopped opposite the Irving Place thea
ter by young, thick-set, vigorous man,
with a clean face and decent clothes.
"Wil you give me 20 cents to pay my
bill for another night at the Mills
house?' he asked. II am out of work
just now and have no money!
The mans manners were neither in
selent nor cringing. He had the bear
ing of dignifed citizen, merely ask
ing favor of brother democrat.
GLOW do I KNOW asked the reporter,
"what you will do with the money i?
You may merely spend it for beer.''
'eDo I look like drunkard?'' asked
the man, quickly, with a note of re-
.proach in his voice. 81 don't like to ask
for money!" he continued. "But my job
doesn't begin again until next Monday,
and in the meantime I must live. don't
want to ask money of my employers.
They will think I'm broke, and that's
always against a man in his own set,
you know. I'd rather ask Stranger
"Why don't you go to some organized

II have" was the reply, "but never
shall again. They ask fellow his name
and address, what his habits are, all
about his father and mother, and make
him feel like culprit. I'd rather starve
than be put through it like that
"But people must be careful. There
are lot of knaves and liars in the
world, you know"
II know" said the man, with irrita-
ton. "But all this caution makes me
tired"
II will give you something to eat"
said the reporter, ''but it is against my
principles to give you the money"
The man hesitated. "No," he said;
I'm hungry as the deuce, but I don't
want to go with you and have you buy
me something and see everybody look
on and say: There's man feeding
beggar.' It's very uncomfortable, that
sort of thing.'. ....--.-
"Well,' said the reporter, ''come with
me as my friend. Well sit down to-
gether, and I'll eat, too. Well call for
individual checks, and each shall pay
for himself. I'll pass the money to you
under the table,"
The man agreed to this, and the two
proceeded to a Fourteenth street res
taurant, where they ordered coffee and
sandwiches and paid in the manner
agreed upon, lighted cigarettes and
strolled out together. @
Thank you, SIR said the sensitive
man. II hope to do the same by you
some day. Good-by!" y. CONNER

was elected lord rector of Glasgow
university, to succeed Lord Beacons-
field, whom he succeeded as prime min
lister in 1880. Resigning in 1885 he was
succeeded by Salisbury, but in Novem-
Der of that year lie returned to power.
He introduced his home-rule bill,
which was defeated on it's second read
ing June 0, 1886, and Salisbury again
became prime minister. Gladstone
later succeeded him, but in 1893 he re-
tired on account of failing health.
Such in brief is the" political record OF
Gladstone.
Mr.. Gladstone was married to Gather
inc, sister of Sir Stephen Glynne, in
1889, by whom he had several children,
one of whom has attained eminence in
the ministry, and another in politics.
His home life has been signally happy
one, Mr.. Gladstone's conduct being
most exemplary in all things, while his
wife displayed the highest qualities OF
her sex.
Notwithstanding his continuous pub.
lie service, Mr.. Gladstone found time
for study and the cultivation of his
literary tastes, which were most com
prehensive. He wrote great deal,
covering wide range of subjects, and
invariably wrote in most excellent and
elegant English. Among his most men,
orable works are: 1.-The State in Rela-
tons with the Church" (1s3s); Church
Principles Considered in Their Results

''Juventus' (1s5O; Pamphlets and
Papers Oh Ritualism" Q874), and 'Bul.
garian Outrages" (1S76-7).
Mr.. Gladstone has been charged with
Inconsistency because of his change OF
views on the Irish question, and a mod
i1ication of his teachings on the estab-
lished church, to, say nothing of his
Withdrawing from his party in 1851.
His friends insist that he was never in
consistent, but that he was progressive
and prompt to accept what promised
best for his, country. His private vir-
tues were admirable as his public serv-
ices were brilliant, and he was all
through life a devout believer in the
orthodox Christian faith. More than
any other man he contributed to the
greatness and glory Of the Victorian
age, not only in his personal work, but
also in the encouragement he gave to
the arts, to literature, and to all things
that serve to complete the tale Of hui
man greatness. His countrymen just
~ applied to him the name /" Grand Old
Man, " standing out as he does first
among the illuminate Of England Of the
nineteenth century and one of the great
est statesmen OF the age. ssgi I: e .5.

Got Out of Bed to Vote.

Judah P. Benjamin was the first Jew
elected to a seat in the American senate
and the contest was notable one. Col.
w. L. Knox was member of the Louisi-
ana legislature, and when the sena-
torial fight begun he was lying at the
point of death at hotel in Baton Rouge.
There was tie vote in the legislature.
Col. Knox was a great admirer of Ben
jamin and he determined to break the
tie and send Benjamin to the senate,
even at the cost of his own life. He
was placed on cot, carried to the house
Of representatives, and when his name
was called he voted for Judah P. Ben
jamin for United States senator. Amid
great excitement and the widest sort
of applause Benjamin was declared
elected and, more dead than alive, Knox
was carried to his hotel. He rallied in
a few days and in the course of time re-
covered his health.-Dallas News.
