torney General Grggs. her husbands
law partner, Albert, A. Wilcox, and
Private Secretary Evans in the prepar-
alton for the funeral of Hobart Satur-
day afternoon. The attorney general
Informed the family today that McKin-
ley would attend the funeral.
Regarding Hobarts wealth, 1t is re-
lated that shortly after the election of
1896, in reply to questions by friends, he
said he could give only a guess; that
concerns and director in over sixty. If
his stock could be disposed Of for what
lit was worth he thought it would bring
between two and three million dollars,
while at a sacrifice sale it would not
amount to half that. Life insurance
policies on the vice presidents life ag-
gregated about ss5o,ooo One company
alone issued a policy for 100000.
The public funeral services will be
conducted by Rev. DR.. Magic, pastor OF

passed resolutions of sympathy.
The body of the vice president will
1 not lie in state at the city hall, but the
public will be afforded an opportunity

lday afternoon between and 6.
A curious coincidence of the death OF
| Vice President Hobart is found in the
fact that of the six vice presidents who
\ have Gied in office, four died within
few days Of the same day of the month
lin the year of their deaths. The death
iof Mr.. Hobart being the 2fst of Novenl-
ber 1899; that of Mr.. Wilson, the 22d

He Tells How the Britons Look Upon

New York. Nov. 22.-Poultney Bige-
low, who sharply criticised American
fighting in Cuba in the recent war, ar
rived on the Kaiser Wilhelm der
Crosse. referring to the feeling in Eng
land over the Boer war Mr.. Bigelow
said:
1T is remarkable with what liberality
the subject is treated among all classes
/ have given several lectures on the
Beers in different parts of England and
at no time was there the least objection
to the discussion of their good points.
The war is looked upon not as chance
to annihilate the Beers, but as n neces-
sary step to uphold the prestige of the
nation. The Boer opinion of the Brit
ish, gained mostly from contact with
such men as they saw about Johannes
no doubt that their eyes will be speedily
opened and that there will be $4,000
British troops in the Transvaal before
the month is out
"As to the feeling in Germany, it
lacks interest because the question at
issue does not come in direct contact
with the people. The manufactured
feeling, the newspaper feeling, has no
weight. have no doubt that the pres
ent visit of Emperor William to Eng
land will do much to negative the effect
of the unfortunate Transvaal affair of
a few years ago."

CASE INVOLVES AN ISSUE.
Congressman GraG says Roberts Has
Thrown Down the liauntlct.

1uFOWn DOWn the Gaun1lct.
Peoria, ILL.,, Nov. 22.-Joseph " Graft.
congressman of the Fourteenth con-
gressional district, said: THE question
of the religious belief of Representative
Roberts is not important, and his NOR
ais themselves might not be matter
of Importance bearing upon the ques-
ton of his expulsion from the house of
representatives. Mr.. Roberts in the
beginning of the discussion of his po-
lygamouS practices not only admitted
that he was a polygamist, but boasted
Of that fact, and seemed to think that
his taking this position openly and af-
terwards retaining his seat would be
interpreted as an acknowledgment by
the people of the country of one step in
the direction of giving polygamy some
degree of recognition. Accepting this
as the truth, the country has concluded
to take issue with Mr. Roberts upon his
position. Therefore the retaining of
Mr.. Roberts in his seat in congress tn
wolves an issue upon the subject of po-
lygamy. 1t has already been indicated
to me that the various women's clubs
in the city of Peoria propose to pass
resolutions addressed to congress fa-
voring the unseating of MI. Roberts,
and have already received numerous
petitions and letters from every county
in the district to tie same effect. There
has never been any doubt in my mind
as to what course would pursue in
this matter, and I shall vote to unseat
MIR. Roberts and use every effort in that
direction. The purity of the home is the
foundation of the state, and therefore
no question which is likely to come be-
fore congress goes deeper into our well
fare than this. 1 believe it Will not
be partisan question and the neces-
sary two,-thirds will be found voting in
favor of his expulsion"

RIGA, for which England is generally be-
lieved to have obtained a free hand in
advance from the German emperor, is
dragging on in the dark, though there
is no longer any public anxiety here
over the silence maintained respecting
Ladysmith, Estcourt or Kimberley. A
strong reaction has set in against the
depression which prevailed after the
capture of Carleton's batalions, and the
public confidence has reached stage
where any future reverse is considered
out of the question.
With the fresh reinforcements arriv-
ing al Cape Town, more than half the
army corps is now on the ground, and
two transports have been ordered to
Durham with the fusileers and riflemen
The relief column, when strengthened,
can hardly be prepared to advance from
Estcourt before the opening of another
week, but the Ladysmith garrison is
clearly secure and the Boer artillery
fire is no longer dreaded. This is also
fresh record for Baden Powell's good
indications that the Free State forces
will soon be driven across the frontier
from Cape Colony.
Ien. 6ulier mas rapllly disposed his
forces as they have arrived at the Cape,
and has been enabled without delay to
strengthen every exposed point and set
in motion two relief columns. The Brit
ish campaign is now beginning in earn

their forces, missed two chances for the
successful invasion of lower Natal and
neglected to capture the western border

which 10000 British troops have been
carried 5000 miles and fully 10000 pro-
vincial auxiliaries are employed.

Tallahassee, Fla, Aug. 4.-The steamer
Crescent City, which was reported lost in
Tuesdays storm, is safe up the Chatta-
hoochee river, where her captain ran her
for safety.
Only four houses remain in the town
of Carrabelle. The depot naval stores,
warehouse and mills and in fact all bust
ness houses, were completely wrecked and
their stocks destroyed. Thirteen large
vessels loading at Carrabelle for foreign
and domestic ports are ashore. No lives
were lost there except the one reported
yesterday. The town of Lanark was al
most wholly destroyed. The big hotel
filed with summer pleasure-seekers was
unroofed. The gas plant in the hotel was
destroyed and fifty women and children
huddled together in the ladies' parlor in
total darkness all night.
a special train left this city over the
Tallahassee, Carrabelle & Gulf railroad
this morning for Carrabelle, carrying the
officials of the road and a wrecking crew.
Telegraphic connection with the coast
has not yet been re-established, but the

RUSSELL SAGE'S BIRTHDAY.
The Frugal New York Finarcier is
SO Years Old Today.


New York. Aug. Russell Sage cele-
brated his eighty-fourth birthday today,
and several times during the morning the
great fnancier was obliged to stop work
to accept the congratulations of old
friends. Numerous congratulations also
came by mail.
At SO Mr. Sage finds himself sound
physically, but for a nervous affection of
the right eye and a slight dea fness. He
can and does climb six flights of stairs
without Inconvenience and keeps as long
office hours as any of his 2O-year-old
clerks. He is temperate in his eating
and attributes his financial success to
his regularity of habits. Though the
statement has often been made during
the last year or two that Mr.. Sage is not
the power in the financial world that he
once was, there is little evidence going
to show that this is true. Though he
may have been dropped from the direc-
torate of this or that corpora ton during
the year, it is still a fact that he is di-
rector in nearly forty different cempa-
MES, from which he draws in directors
fees more than $4,000 annually. His
total wealth it is impossible to calculate.
1t is estimated at from $50,OOO,OOO to
truth these figures may be, it is certain
that Mr.. Sage can command more ready
cash on short notice than any other man
in the world. His interests in railroads,
banks and other corporation are large,
but his great power comes from his abil-
ity not only to secure cash but to keep it.

FOUNDER OF KENOSHA.
Latham Bullen Returns to His
Early Haunts.
AFTER FIFTY YEARS.
The Earliest Settler in Southern Wis
consin-O1d Sights and Scenes
Disappear.

Kenosha, Wis, Aug. 4.-[SpeciaL L
Kenosha is entertaining an honored guest
this week in the person of Latham Bull
len, who was perhaps the earliest settler
Of southern Wisconsin. For the past fif
ty years Mr.. Bullen has been living in
the far West and when he returned to
his old haunts a few days ago little was
left of the sights and scenes which he
had formerly called his home. Latham
Bullen came to the state of Wisconsin
in 1887. He was the first settler in what
is now Racine and Kenosha counties
Early in 1886 he took claim Of all that
vast region Of country and the following
year he came to the site of Southport and
began the work of preparing for the re-
ceptlOn Of little colony Of settlers which
he had organized in eastern New York.
Shortly after all the land was sold in
small parcels to the members of the col
ony, and it was a small price, indeed,
which Bullen received for the great tract
Of country on which two large cities are
now located. Bullen and his little party
took a great interest in politics and they
made every effort to secure the location
of the state capital at the little city of
Pike, as Southport was originally called.
Mr.. Bullen left Southport in 1919 and
this is the first time that he has ever re-
turned to the scenes of his early man
hood. In his walks about the city he
found little to remind him of the strug-
giles of the early pioneers. Nearly all the
friends of long ago had either died or
been carried away to other places. In
his wanderings about the city he met
with j. III. Kimball, the second settler OF
Southport. and the meeting between the
two men who had done so much for the
early development Of Wisconsin will new
er be forgotten by those who saw it.
Arm in arm the two old men, both over
80 years of age, walked about the new
city whose foundations they had laid in
those early days. They walked together
to the cemetery and there they held
reunion with the friends of their youth
Mr.. Bullen is the guest of the city and
kenosha is proud to honor one of it's
early pioneers
