The expected opposition to the trans

of the navy has materialized. War de-

riously enough, it has proved the re-

to the unprofessional mind, it would
seem that shipping is, something that
belongs peculiarly to the navy.

work OF Gladstone, the woodchopper. The
last day he spent at his favorite exercise
was just after a great storm, which had
played havoc with the trees The cir was
damp and chilly: the sight of so much debris
stimulated him to unusual exertion, a Sc

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 a 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 Mt
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 Sundayat Hawarden was not long ago
described as follows:
"A curious group ab3rt he Loor of Ha-
warden church waited to see the Gfadlstones
arrive. The great statesman used to sit T.,
a seat just in front of the pulpit and usually
read the Scripture service for the day.
When the anthem was ended, Mr. Glad
stone walked swiftly but noiselessly up to
the lecturn-a splendid eagle with out
stretched wings, done in carved oakland
read the story of Naaman and the little
Syrian maid. His style was the perfection
Of simplicity. SO simple that one was almost
tempted to believe it the perfection of art.
Between the first and second lessons he
seated himself on q small square stool di-
rectly in front Of the reading desk, and
here again he took up his position during
the sermon. After the service Mr.. Glad
stone returned to his seat He waited for
the communion, and IS passed out he and
Mrs. Gladstone were both bowed in the
oblivion of deyout prayer"

accompany the statesman on long walks,
and it was Mr.. Gladstone's delight to throw
sticksfor the little fellow to runafter, and he
often told how on one occasion when he was
telling a tree, with PETE as his only COM
panion, the dog after time thought some
little attention should be paid TO him, and
that some of the chips should be thrown to
him to fetch. So he kept picking up chip
now and again and dropping it at the wood

tie OF July 3, sent him a street
badge e1tolling the victory. Besides
other things, this was on the badge:
Hurrah for Schley,
He chased EN-, and placed EN-,
And waited round TO bsste EN-,
And shot EN-,

The Commodore's letter follows:
Flagship Brooklyn, Guantanamo,

l thank you for your note and the
inclosed badge, but 1 think you do
me more honor than deser ;e, and l
can only accept the kind words you
offer to share them with my brave
comrades, who did so much more
than to make July 3, 1898, SO
memorable in our history.
The sweetest assurance of all
comes in the fact that the conduct
of all on that day won the admira-
ton and love Of eur splendid people,
for whose cause they stani, no mat

this garland belongs IS well to the
hum blest in our number as to the

Ground for n Plea of Guilty.

An Iowa Judge was telling stories
in a hotel lobby, and he related an
amusing incident that had occurred
in his court when colored man was
brought up for some petty offense.
The charge was read, and as the
statement, The State of Iowa
against John JONES' was read in
loud voice, the colored mans eyes
bulged nearly out of their sockets,
aud he seemed perfectly overcome
with terror aud establishment
When be was asked if he had any
thing to say, or pleaded guilty. or
not guilty, he gaspsd ou':
"Well, yo' honah, eff de whole
State o Iowa is agin this one pore
niggah, Use gwin to give up right
now"
Not once out of hundred times
can an old colored man tell you his
age, and even il be knew, be would
be more than apt to make himself
much older than he is After mid
die life they ali seem to feel that it
adds dignity and very much increas-
es their merits and value to be con-
sidered extremely old. The absurd.
ity az to statements OF length Of
years lived never strikes them In
southern family which always
spends it's winters in Washington
lives an old man named JEFF, who
has been with them and the previous
generation for more years than they
can remember He is certainly
pretty old himself, SO his mistress
was rather surprised this winter
when he asked to have few days
off to go, as be put il, ''up TO de ole
State Of New Haven" to see his
aunt.
Why, JEFF. said the lady, your
aunt must be pretty old, i.n't she?'
"Yessm." he replied, yes EN-, my
aunt must be pretty ole now-she's
about a hundred and five years ole
now"
"A hundred and FIVE years" ex-
claimed the lady, why what On
earth is she doing up there in New
Haven't"
Deed, 1 don't know what she's
doin' ma'am, rejoined JEFF in all
seriousness. She's up there livin'
with her grandmother
