GLADsToNE's READY WIT.
A Few Instances In which He Downed
tho Opposition.

the Opposition
Mr.. Gladstone was once the victim
of reporters curious error, either in
reporting or telegraphing. which was
that where in celebrated speech he
declared, 1--WE have burned our boats
and destroyed our bridges" he must
have been Mortified to read, 1--WE have
burned our boots and destroyed our
breaches" The noted phrase Thine is
On our side" was rendered in one re-
port as Tim is on our side.''
1--WE are very proud of our trees"
said Mr.. Gladstone once to party of
excursionists from Lancashire, "and
are therefore getting anxious. as the
beech has already shown symptoms Of
decay. We set great store by our
trees" 'Why, them" roared Lam
cashire lad, do you cut 'em down as
you do?" 1--WE cut down that we may
improve. We remove rottenness that
we may restore health by letting in air
and light. AS a good Liberal, you
ought to understand that" Lancashire
set up roar of delight, and the dis
comforted interrogation came in for
many fieer from his companions.
Mr.. Gladstone dearly loved joke,
even at his own expense. and he pos
sessed considerable mimetic powers.
He was once guilty of an amusing bull
in a debate on the question of disestab-
lishment. Di1ating on the hold held
on the affections of the people by the
Church of England, he said: when
an Englishman wants to get married,
to whom does he go? To the parish
priest. When he wants his child bap-
tized, to whom does he go? To the
parish priest. When he wants to get
buried, to whom does he go?" The
House answered with roar of laugh
ter, in which Mr. Gladstone himself
Joined, adding, "As I was contrasting
the English Church with the Irish, a
bull is perhaps excusable.
On one occasion two gentlemen, in
vited as guests at a table where Mr..
Gladstone was expected, made wager
that they would start conversation
on a subject about which even Mr..
Gladstone would know nothing. To
accomplish this end they read up an
ancient magazine article on some unfa-
miliar subject connected with Chinese
manufactures. When the favorable
opportunity came the topic was started,
and the two conspirators watched with
amusement the growing interest in the
subject which Mr. Gladstone's face be-
trayed. Finally he joined in the con-
versation, and their amusement was
turned into crashing of teeth-to speak
"Ah, gentlemen, I perceive you have
been reading an article wrote in the
Magazine some thirty or forty
years ago."

An Accommodating Master.

During the great strike few years
ago among the employees of the North
British railway much difficulty was
experienced in finding qualified engine
drivers. Upon one occasion a young
fellow was put upon section in Fife.
One day he ran some distance past
a station, and upon putting back he
went as far the other way. The sta
ton master. seeing him preparing for
another attempt, to the great amuse-
ment of the passengers on the plat
form, shouted
Gust bide whaur We are, Tummas.
Well shift the stationl"

A Stone That Grows.

A West Gouldsboro (Me.) man tells
a queer story about stone that grows.
1t is an egg-shaped, fiinty looking rock,
which he picked up in cove near his
home over thirty years ago. Then it
weighed about twelve pounds, and from
It's odd shape was kept in the house and
on the doorstep as curiosity. AS the
years passed the stone increased in
size. Six years ago it weighed forty
pounds. The owner swears it is the
same stone, and tells likely story,
with numerous witnesses to back him
up.

A GREAT INDUSTRY.
EMPLOYS OVER ONE MILLION PER-
SONS IN THE UNITED STATES.

The Various Uses to which Electricity Is
Applied-Telegraph and Telephone Give
Work to Hundreds of Thousands-From a
Railroad Car to Fan Now Run BY 1t.
More than 100000 persons in the
their livelihood through employments
dependent upon or connected with the
use of electricity, and compared with
the United States the number of per-
sons so employed ia other countries is
practically insignificant. The rapid
increase of the electric business of this
country is shown by the fact that at
the time of taking the last national
census, that 1890, no serious effort was
made to give figures showing the ex-
tent of the use of electricity.
There are in the United States near
Iy million miles of telegraph wire,
and there are $4,000 telegraph offices,
exclusive of those maintained by the
railroad companies for the conduct and
regulation of their trains. Taking into
account telegraph operators, telegraph
company employees, and those In the
telegraph service of the railroads, there
are 10000 persons connected with the
transmission of Geographic messages
in the United States. There are now
500, 900 miles of telephone wire in the
United States, more than 1000 ex-
changes, and an equal number of tele-
81
course, of pay stations. The number
of employees of the telephone COM
panies of the United States is $4,000,
exclusive of those engaged in construc-
fion and repair work for the compan-
les.
The gradual substitution of the cleo
trio current for horse power on surface
railroads has added largely to the num-
Der of employees of electric railroads.
There are now in the United States
$4,000 miles of electric or trolley roads,
and these roads give employment, it is
computed, to 100000 persons as motor
men, conductors, clerks, inspectors,
and electricians. Then there is the
Item of electric lighting which is one
of the most important branches of the
development of electric service, but
likewise one the figures of which are
most fragmentary. Nearly every i'm
poftant city of the United States, and
many unimportant cities, too, are light
ed by electricity, as well as private
houses, stores, public buildings, tunnels,
bridges, caves, mines and parks, and
the use of the electric current in man
nfacturing is constantly on the in
crease. Machines are run by electrici-
fy, many manufacturing operations are
performed by it, elevators are run by
electricity, fans for cooking purposes
are run by electricity and as these uses
are extended the number of persons
employed is steadily being increased.
There are still to be added to the
figures of another branch of the bust
ness, one of the most important, THE
manufacture Of electric appliances,
which, it is computed gives employ
ment to more than 100000 persons.
Taking all the figures together, it is
probably not far from the truth to say
that there are 100000 persons in the
United States dependent upon electric
fly for a livelihood

THE EMPEROR FEARS FOR HIS

The Dowager Empress Returns to
Power With the Determination to
Control Succession of the Throne.

LONDON, September 23.-According
to special dispatches received from Pc
king, members of the European COM
munity there believe the life of the
Emperor of China is in danger. 1t is
added that the Dowager Empress de-
sires to place Prince Kung's grandson
on the throne. The Emperor realizes
the strength of the conspiracy made
against him and has ordered the pal
ace guards to be strengthened.
WASHINGTON, September 23.-The
Chinese Minister, Mr.. Tu Wing. today
received cable dispatch from Picking
giving the text of the edict issued by
the Emperor yesterday. The edict as
translated is as follows:
Now that China is disturbed. there
is need that all business shall be done
well, and we, the Emperor, agitated
from morning to night for the wei
fare of affairs and fearful lest errors
may occur, observing from the begin
ming of the reign of Tung Chi that
the Empress Dowager had twice given
instructions to the Emperor and with
signal ability and success, so we now.
considering the important interests of
the empire, have begged the Empress
Dowager to give the empire the bene-
fit of her ripe experience and her in
struction. the Dowager Empress has
been pleased to accede to this request,
and, therefore, it is TO the good fort
une of the whole empire that this aus
picious event is brought about From
today the Empress Dowager conducts
the business in the imperial apart
ments and on the eighth day of the
present month Chinese calendar) we
will take all the Princes and Ministers
to perform the ceremony in the Chin
Chung palace. Let the Gamen (for-
eign office prepare that the ceremony
may be performed with fitting honor.
The Chinese Minister said there was
nothing to indicate that it was a tri-
umph of one foreign element over an
other. and that its essential purpose
was to strengthen China herself at
time when serious foreign problems
were presented.
AS to it effects upon Ii Hung Chang
the Minister says the Dowager EN-
press has long admired the rugged
ability of the old statesman. But he
did not think this would result in the
return of Ii to the foreign office.

in this country. The revolution was
full Of jobbery, the war Of 1912 ives full
OF jobbery, and the war Of the rebellion
staggered with corruption, yet the coun-
try moved forward in each Of these wars,
and the world was made better.
This canal will be filled with jobbery,
yet necessity will compel US to dig it.
Honest and progressive humanity cannot
fold its arms or stop the onward march
simply because there are vampires that
suck human blood.
If the Demo cratic party is to perform
its mission, it must assume the aggres-
sive. It must recognize new conditions
and must sail with the new currents Of
destiny and see to it that the great prin-
ciples Of justice and liberty and of equal
rights are not destroyed, as they will be
if the Mark Hannas of the age are per-
mitted to control.
Let it be remembered that the acqui-
sition Of vast territy at home under jeff
erson, under Monroe and under Pierce
did not weaken the principles of the re-
public nor change the doctrines of De-
mocracy.
These policies which have destroyed
our shipping, paralyzed our people,
loaded them down with burdens and ere.
ated an oligarchy in our land are of Re.
publican parentage.
Some good people fear that the en-.
largement Of our foreign policy will divert
| attention from home affairs and enable
the corruptionists to continue their
criminal work.,
But if the Democrats while fighting
plutocracy at home take the lead in
J. broadening our foreign policy they can
get the benefit Of the government, and
in that way carry out great reforms and
put an end to the corrupt regime that
is now destroying US, while if. we assume
negative position the great criminals
may be kept in power, solely because of
this irresistible movement.
