RIGHT KIND OF A BOY ORATOR
Fine Example of American Grit and
observation-disclosures.

The Hon. Albert ]. Beveridge, who
has ust been elected a senator in con-
gress from Indiana, is a fine example
OF the success that is in the reach of
every American who deserves it by
working for it. Mr.. Beverage, who is
only 35, was born in Ohio with a wood
en- spoon in his mouth. His people
moved to Illinois in the hope of find
ing fortune kinder. At IL he was peg
ging away on the farm. At IA he was
working or a railroad. Working,
mind you, and not Sinking and i'm
agining himself to be a blighted being
ruined by corporations. Graduated
from the railroad he became a teamster
At 16 he was boss Of a lumber camp.
Studying at such times and with such
self for the DePauw university, where
he worked to support himself. He over
did 1t a little, so ne went west and took
to c~owpunching. Then he went to In
dianapolis and studied law. He pick
ed up a good practice easily and now
he is United States senator at 80.
He was a boy orator at college and he
VOL cash prizes that he needed. But
he is not a boy orator now. He has not
remained a permanent boy orator. He
has not devoted himself to wandering
around the country, abusing a great
part of the citizens, windily proclaim
ing that there is no chance for poor
folks and making a living by speeches
that go to show that you cannot make
a living on account of the wrongs"
and Expressions" of the rich. He has
been a good stump speaker, but his
best speech in his life, the resolute and
strenuous labor which conquers diff
Guilty and i'll fortune. If he had spent
his time in envying and denouncing
the prosperous, he would never have
made himself prosperous.

lieve that educations against the gold
standard and the trusts are q sufficient

Pain in the body is often only the out
cry of starvation. You eat enough but
the stomach is not doing its work, and
the nervous system is starving. Put the

HENRY B. PLANTS WILL.
Ii May Be Contested by the Dead
Mans Widow.

MANS W1OOw.
NEW YORK, Nov. 16.-There is little
doubt that Mrs. Henry B. Plant, widow
of the steamship and hotel man, is dis
satisfied with the provisions of her late
husbands will, which leaves her 1000
year, and ties up an immense estate.
Mrs. Plant, whose home is at $50 Fifth
Avenue, is not now in the city. but she
has retained the services of Seward. Guth-
rie & Steele, Of 40 Wall Street. Paul d.
Cravath, of the firm, was seen, and admit
ted that his firm was Mrs. Plants counsel.
.'I'll have to be excused from saying
anything about Mrs. Plants business af-
fairs" said Mr.. Cravath. Il doubt very
much IL there will be anything sensational
in anything concerning Mrs. Plants busi-
ness AFFAIRS
Ii is said that a compromise may be
made. Mr. Plant died in this city on
June % last in the eghtieth year of his
age He had been in bad heath for two
years, but attended to many of his busi-
ness duties. His becoming a resident of
Connecticut a few days before his death,
in order to make a will under the laws of
Connecticut, which would praetita ly en-
tail his estate for a long term. was a great
surprise to hts wife and friends. His
widow was many years younger than Mr..
Plant when she married him.
DIR. Ghisiani Durant. OF II West Forty
sixth Street, the family physician of the
dead man, says that while Mr.. Plant was
very i'll. apparently his mind was clear
when he caused the will to be drawn. Said
DR.. Durant further:
Up to the present time there has been
no step taken by Mrs. Plant to upset the
will, and it is my belief that none will be
taken. | have been the family doctor for
md cd n hai
house for six or seven years. Mrs. Plant is
highly estimable woman. and perhaps
am as familiar with her business affairs
as anyone. | know of no intention on her
part to contest the will.
Under the laws of this State it is not
possible to tie up property as is done in
Connecticut. Briefly, Mr.. Plants will di-
rected that the estate is not TO be divided
until the four year-old son Of Morton F.
Plant. the only son of Henry B. Plant,
shall have had male child which shall
have become of age. That is certainly
most unusual provision in a will. but under
the laws of Connecticut it seems that il
was legally drawn. ! understand that the
trustees OF the estate have made an in
formal proposition to Mrs. Plant looking to
a large allowance for her. Nothing has
come of this as yet. The trustees assert,
doubtless with good reason, that ii is i'm
possible to determine so soon after Mr..
Plants death just how large the estate is.
Some time ago there was brought to my
attention a newspaper report in which Mr..
Morton Plant was quoted as saying that
Mrs. Plant. his stepmother. was dissatis-
fled with the provision made for herself.
but in that interview Mr.. Plant is quoted
as saying that he was satisfied with the
will. That was the first time / heard that
Mrs. Plant was dissatisfied with the will.
Mrs. Plant is out of the city and il is not
exactly certain when she will return"

A MURDERER's SENTENCE.
An Express Train Waits for the Pro.
ceedinGs In Court.

ROCHESTER, N. Y, Nov 10
A train on the New York Gen.
tral road was held for fifteen
minutes at Batavia yesterday while
the death sentence was being passed on
Howard Curtis Benham, who poisoned his
wife, Florence, in Batavia, January 4,
1897. The train that carried the wife rnur-
derer passed through Rochester at 10
o'clock in the forenoon and arrived in Ba-
tavia at 1915. The first train back to
Auburn left Batavia at 11:10. At the re-
quest of the authorities the engineer drew
to the side track and waited while the
solemn Office was being carried out in the
little courthouse. Shortly after 10 o'clock
William w. Webster, Benham's lawyer,
accompanied by Martin G. Benham, the
condemned mans father, came into court
and took seats inside the railing
At 11:12 the condemned man came into
court. He at once took seat while the
district attorney was stating the matter
to the court. When told by the court to
stand up he arose quickly to his feet and
stood with his hands in his coat pockets.
When asked If he had any reason why
the sentence of death should not be pro-
nounced upon him he said in a tone OF
voice which was scarcely above whisper,
nothing" Justice Hooker then proceed
ed TO pronounce the death sentence, which
Benham heard with the same stoical look
on his face that 1t wore throughout the
trial. Justice Hooker directed that Ben
ham should die in the electric chair dur
ing the week beginning January 2.
After naming the day and method of
execution the court signed the warrant and
1t was served on Warden Mead by Sheriff
Heal. While this was taking place Ben
ham had stepped up to William C. Watson,
who was trying a case In court, and began
talking to him. After e moments CONVEX
sation he sat down and Mr.. Webster spoke
to him. With tears rolling down his face,
Martin c. -Benham took his son by the
hand and held it until the warden replaced
the manacles. The two wardens and Ben
ham then started out of the court room.
The prisoner bowed slightly to a few OF
his acquaintances as he passed down the
aisle.

Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, taken after

SOLDIERS PAY ARRANGEMENTS.
Peculiar Conditions Brought About
by Gold Shipments to Manila.

Drought
by Gold shipments to Manila.
The soldiers in the Philippines are now
paid through the Hongkong and Shanghai
banks, by means of a special arrangement
between the War Department and the
banks. When the campaign began, the
Government shipped gold for the payment
of the soldiers. but in a short time this be-
came burdensome.
The soldiers had no wish to spend all they
received. and most of them desired to send
money to relatives here for their support.
Consequently, exchange became exorbitant-
ly high, and gold had to be shipped back.
In his forthcoming report Comptroller
Dawes will comment on this phenomenon,
urging it as an argument for the creation
of system of international and foreign
banking. He contends that an American
bank should have the profits and advantages
enjoyed by the Shanghai and Hongkong
concerns.
