author of "1f Christ Should Come to Chica- go' and the war Against War is equally great. When he begins his study of party, a principle or a man he may have but the crudea. hearsay ideas of the subject in hand. but in a day or a week the article or the book is written and his estimate of the subject is usually extremely accurate and just
 To prepare his latest work, "Fhe United States of Europe on the Eve of the Parlia- ment of Peace" it was necessary that he should travel from one end of Europe to the other. Between September b and No- vember 26 he visited Belgium, France, Ita- ly, Germany, Russia, Switzerland, Austria and Turkey, where he had interviews with each ruler as well with almost every prominent statesman and people of note generally, asking them their opinion of tho two surprising events of the end of the century-the colonial expansion of the United States and the proposed peace con- ference. Having returned, he proceeded to write his book, volume of 300 pages, and four months later the work was on the book stands in America. Wonderful as such an achievement may seem it was but one of many similar occurrences in the life of the man Stead.
 Some idea of his methods of work may be obtained from the fact that it requires two stenographers to keep pace with him when

Musician Benson's Savings of $4,OCO to Be
 Reverted to the War Department

From the New York World.
 Principal Musician George w. Benson died brave soldier and an honest man. In his long service with the Eleventh in- fantry, |. s. A, he had saved $4,000. He left TO heirs, and the money, under the law, will revert to the war department.
 Benson entered the service eighteen years ago. He rose steadily from the ranks un- til he gained his coveted appointment on the on-commissioned officers staff Of the Eleventh regiment.
 Then came the call for foreign service With his regiment he went through the Santiago campaign. He laid aside his cornet for a "Krag," and when not in the trenches he helped bring up ammunition or rations in the front.
 year ago Thursday he was on the hills before Santiago fighting for Uncle Sam and the glory of the Eleventh. From Santa go the Eleventh went into the Porto Rican campaign. Days on the march and nights in the trenches told on Benson. The fever got into his bones. He fought it off all winter, but six weeks ago he was sent home to die.

name of William T. Stead; not that the London journalist has ever done anything sufficiently wonderful to entitle him to that honor, but because he is the perfect type of the nineteenth century man.
 It is part of the art of the cartoonist to be able to select the most striking features of his subject and to exaggerate them suf- ficiently to answer his purpose without de- stroying the likeness, and what the car toon is to the politicians of the world Will jam T. Stead is to the English speaking people of this generation. In him may be discovered all of the striking characteris- tics of the race, but exaggerated as never before in any one man.
 To know MT, Stead is not a simple mat ter He does not remain long enough in one place to allow anyone to become very intimately acquainted with him, and yet all who know him admire him greatly. or course he has enemies, more perhaps than any man in all Europe, but they are the men in high places, whose sins he has eX- posed, or whose financial or political bub- bles he has pricked, for he is a man whose vocabulary has no definition for the word fear" and whose pen has described things just as he found them without regard to the fact that this or that great man would be put to shame by the narrative.
 most curious character is this man Stead. He is supremely egotistical, he has
The age-herald., 1899-07-09

attention of the greatest men of the world. In his latest book he has simply empAa- sized subject in which he has been inter- csted for years. Long before the czar of Russia had thought of issuing his call for a peace parliament. and long before the book that influenced the cZar was written, Mr. Stead was writing and working to bring about some union among the nations of Europe with a view to minimizing the chances of war and of softening it if it should come.
 Such a theme might well attract a less thoughtful man and his consistent and ceaseless efforts to bring about such meet ing of the powers were fully in line with many of his crusades for the good of hu- manity, crusades against vice that have brought him into close touch with the worse criminal elements of two continents, and crusades for the practical enforcement of the golden rule in affairs of nations that have brought him into the society of the greatest and best people of the world.
 Such is the man Stead who, without rank or title to recommend him, has touched the hand of more royal personages and great men than any man living, who has written more copy upon greater variety of sub- jects than any author in the world, ana who has proved that nothing is impossible to the man who has the egotism. the cheek and the boundless energy of the English

perfect confidence in his own ability. Un- mitigatedly sensational and with unlimited cheek, as the foundation for his work his boundless energy has made him man who will always rank as one of the geniuses of the century. To study his methods of work makes one wonder if he Is constructed of ordinary flesh and blood: to follow him as he flies from one end of the world to the other makes one's head swim.
 Today he may be in Chicago, delving in- to the rankcst depths of the corruption of a great city, or in New York studying the equally great corruption of the political party in power. Tomorrow he may be in Russia interviewing the czar upon the sub ject of his disarmament plan, or in Ger many Interviewing the emperor upon some one of the royal hobbies. But in each the

speaking race.
 A few years ago Stead was unknown, for he is now only 90 years old. His birthday will be celebrated July 5, and man is not expected to do much under the age of fifty.
 As an example of the good effects of a fine ancestry it may be mentioned that Stead was a child of well-to-do parents, and at Embleton England, the family was known as one of standing. It was deter mined that the boy William should become a merchant, and accordingly he was placed at the business when he was II years old. But he had no fancy for selling goods, and at the age of 21 he was working on the Northern Echo. In 1873 he married Miss Emma Wilson and soon after began writ ing. Since then his life has been series

London, July 6.-It is a difficult matter to correctly fix the position of a living man ito determine just what particular niche he will occupy in the temple of fame that the future will prepare. Time makes many changes, and 1t has made so many great men small and so many small men great during the years that have passed, thaht one naturally hesitates to affirm that contemporary has succeeded in achieving position from which the years will never remove him. When the nineteenth century has been lived, however, and the time has arrived for its historian to prepare its an nals there is one name that will certainly find place in those pages, and that is the

he has donned the working garb. To one he dictates from early in the morning until noon, and after lunch he dictates to the other until dinner time. His evenings are devoted to the correction of copy, and if there is still time at hand more dictation. He is a tireless worker who requires but little sleep, and will write far into the night without beginning to work off his surplus energy. It is not strange that such a man should have succeeded in accom- plishing the nearly impossible.
 As writer MT. Stead Is a sensationalist, but he always produces a strong and pie turesque narrative, and while some of the schemes that he has proposed may have been impractical and visionary he has pre- sented them so vividly and graphically that they have always attracted and held the

The Champs Elysee, for instance, from
which the main entrance to the grounds
will open, will be nanked by decorated coll
umns, some sculptured, some covered with
bunting and SOM decorated with cut flow
ers, which will be renewed daily.
II had been originally planned to erect a
series Of oyerhanging decorations along this
avenue from the Place de la Concordc to the
Arch de T%riomphe, but this scheme was re-
jected because It would have interfered with
the magnificent vistas which now make the
Champs Elysee the most beautiful avenue in
the world. The Boulevard des Italiens will
be lined with elaborate decorations and all
the squares and innumerable circles in Paris
will show their bunting and put on their gala
dress. At night beautiful designs and col
ored lights will take the place of the vari-
colored flags and Paris will become a literal
fairyland.
