with many of his crusades for the good
of humanity. crusades against vice that
have brought him into close touch with
the worst criminal elements of two con-
tinents, 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 peo-
pie of the world.
Such is the man Stead who, without
rank or title to recommend him, has
touched the hand of more royal person.

who has written more copy upon a great
err variety of subjects han any author
in the world, and who has proved that
nothing is impossible to the man who
has the egotisln, the cheek and the bounds
less energy Of the English speaking race.
A few years ago Stead was unknown
for he is now only fifty years old. His
birthday will be celebrated July 5, and a
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 q child of well-to-do parents
and at Embleton, England. the family
was known as one Of standing. 1t was
determined that the boy William should
become Il merchant, and accordingly he
was placed at the business when he was
fourteen years old. But he had no fancy
for selling goods and at the age of twen-
ty-one he was working on the Northern
Echo. In 1873 he married Miss Emma
Wilson and soon after began writing.
Since then his life has been a series Of
writings. He turns of sometimes two
books a year and never a year passes but
sees one book from his hand.

family and William r. Stead amuses
himself at his home in Wilberton Park.

meIt may seem it was bur 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 he has donned the working garb.
To one he dictates from early in the
morning until noon, ard after lunch he
dictates to the other until dinner time.
His evenings are devoted to the correc-
ton 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 be-
ginning to work off his surplus energy.
1t is not strange that such a man should
have succeeded in accom- lishing the near
ly impossible.
AS a writer Mr.. Stead is a sensational
list but he always produces a strong and
picturesque narrative II while some Of
the schemes that he has proposed may
have been impractical and visionary he
has presented them SO wildly and graph
ically that they have always attracted
and held the attention of the greatest
men of the world. In his latest cook

which he has been interested for years.
Long before the car of Russia had
thought of issuing his call for a peace
parliament and long before the book that
influenced the ear was written MI. 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 we'll attract a less

London, June 22.-It is a difficult mat
ter to correctly fix the position of a liv-
ing man-to determine just what partic-
niche lie will occupy in the temple
of fame hat the future will epare
Time makes many changes and it has
made so many great men small and so
many small men great during the years
that have passed that one naturally hest
tates to affirm that a contemporary has
succeeded in achieving a position from
which the years will never remove him.
When the nineteenth century has been
lived, however, and the time has arrived
for it's historian to prepare it's annals
there is one name that will certainly find
a place in those pages, and that is the
name Of William 7. Stead, not that the
London journalist has ever lone any,
thing sufficiently wonderful to entitle
him to hat honor but because he is the
perfect type of the nineteenth century
man.
, 1t is a part Of the art OF the cartoon
ist to lie able to select the most striking
features Of his subject and to exaggerate
them sufficiently to answer his purpose
without destroying the likeness and what
the cartoon is to the politicians of the
world William T. Stead is to the English
speaking people of this generation. In
him may be discovered all of the striking
characteristics of the race but exagger-
dleu DIS never DeIOFe III any one man.
To know Mr.. Stead is not a simple
matter. 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.
OF course he has enemies, more perhaps
than any man in all Europe, but they are
the men in high places whose sins he has
exposed or whose financial or political
bubbles he has pricked, for he is a man
whose vocabulary has no definition for
the word fear" and whose pen has de-
scribed things just as he foun them

MAPLE STREET ROBBERY
Occurred While the Folks Were Wit
Messing the Parade But the Circus
Men Were Not in it.

The Ringing Brothers circus, which
showed in Anaconda yesterday, is said
by everyone to be the most orderly one
that ever visited the city. Everything
with it appears to run on the
most improved system. This vas very
noticeable in the railroad yards during
the unloading of the cars in the morning !
n %reloading again at night, as we'll az
Upon the grounds, that there was no
culsing and swearing or even loud talking
among the roustabouts, who with other
shows make the air blue with profanity.
When the first circus train arrived in
Anaconda Superintendent A. J. McCabe
was in the yards to personally see that
everything was done properly on the part
of the railroad. He seemed very much
pleased with the way everything was
worked and returned early in the morn
ing.
Ringing Brothers have no fakirs with
them. None were seen on the streets, to
the surprise and pleasure of everyone.
People paved their money and witnessed
a good show, and the street parade was
q good one.
Late yesterday afternoon q robbery
was reported on Maple street. A Mrs.
BARLEY claims to have been robbed of a
gold watch. chain and necklace valued
at less than 500. Officers went to the
scene and made a thorough search, but
no clue could be found 1t is evident the
parties who committed the robbery have
no connection with the circus, for from
what can be learned Ringing Brothers
have no such rang in their employ.
Yesterday afternoon James Ryan, who
conducted a lemonade booth at the cir
Gus grounds, was arrested for doing bust
ness without a license. Six other men
were arrested at the same time. They
were taken before Judge William Devine,
who fined them 81 each. They also paid
the city license, $3.50 Through hes
men 1t was learned that faro is being con-
Quoted in Anaconda, and that two tables
are running in one house, but the police
were unable to find the gambling, and on
account of the men being fined they
would not tell. Chief of Police White
was on the go last evening and will in
all probability find out where the gamb-
ling is being done before this evening.
He was in close consultation with Mayor
Madden and arrests may result there

Tributes to Mr.. Hobart.

Washington, Nov. 23.-Secretary of
State Hay, now occupying a unique
and double station in public life, says
of Mr.. Hobart:
"Mr. Hobart was man of such Il
peculiarly amiable and delightful char
acter that the loss is felt distinctively
as a personal one by every member Of
the Government who had come in con-
tact with him. He was one of the abl
est presiding officers the Senate has
ever known"
Secretary of the Treasury Gage says:
"He was a noble illustration of the
typical American. Educated in our
schools, his mind was broadened and
ripened from the burdens and response
bilities of active business life. Though
closely associated in large affairs, he
kept unsullied those high ideals which
are inseparable from true love Of
justice and equity.
Secretary Root, of the War Depart
ment, says:
81 have known Mr Hobart a great
many years, long before he became
prominent in official life, and l was
very fond of him. His death will cause
sincere regret by all who knew him.
Attorney General Griggs, says:
"My relations with the Vice-Presi-
dent have been so intimate for more
than twenty eight years and my grief
at his untimely death is so personal
that I cannot speak about him for
publication as l might of one whose
death did not touch me so closely"

nation regarding the death of Vice.
President Garret A. Hobart:
Whereas. God, in His infinite mercy
has seen fit to remove from his post

citizen and Vice-President of the Uni
ted States, Garret A. Hobart, and It
becomes us as a people to bow to His
divine will, and to ask that His mercy

Now, therefore, |, John Hinchliffe,
Mayor of the city of Paterson, in ac-
cordance with the expressed desire Of

upon the day of the funeral obsequies

schools, offices and all places of busi-
ness be closed throughout the day,
and that the business houses and pri-
Vate residences of our city be draped,

Without a Vice President

Washington, Nov. 2S.-By the death
of. Mr. Hobart the office of Vice PreSi-
dent of the United States becomes va
cant for the rest of President McKin
ley's term, as the law provides no sue
cession.
A President pro tempore of the Sen
ate will be elected by that body when
Congress assemblies, who will hold the
office until March, 1901.
BY law the succession to the Presi-
dency of the United States in the event
of the vacancy falls upon the Vice
President, and in the event of the lat
ter's death to the Secretary of State,
the next in line being the Secretary of
the Treasury, then the Secretary of
War and down through the list OF
Cabinet officers in order of precedence
fixed by act of Congress when the
death of Vice-President Hendricks dis
closed the necessity of such pro-
vision.
Senator William P. Frye, of Maine,
is now President pro tempore of the
Senate. He will call that body to order
when 1t assemblies on Dec. 4, and pre-
side until a successor is chosen.

Seven of the twelve Jurors have al
ready been accepted by both sides, and
two days more will probably see the

The Haitian is fine example of
conservatism, What was, must be
right A few years ago the town OF
Port de PaiX owing to an unexpected
progressive spirit on the part of the
Government, constructed some fine
water works The town was veil
piped, with hydrants at short distances
on all the streets. Decorative foun-
tains were placed in the squares,
drinking places for man and beast
everywhere The natives as usual,
took not the slightest interest In this
important and necessary undertaking.
At last, when completed, in accord
ance with the custom of the country,
the water system was opened with
series of fetes. The whole section of
the country had a hilarous holiday
balls, professions, cockfights, go.
When these were all over the natives
came to the conclusion that the water
works must have been built to give
an excuse for them and the water
works were no longer of any service,
so they promptly smashed the whole
system, and returned to carting the
citys water from the distant river by
OK teams. Now they tie their animals
to the hydrants, fall over the frag-
ments of the pipes scattered round
the streets, and are happy.-Harper'e

Still CHASING AquinaIdo.

Manila, Nov. 23.--The whereabouts Of
Generals Lawton and Young is becom-
ing as mysterious as Aguinaldo's.
The belief is beginning to grow at
Manila that General Lawton has struck
the trail of the Filipino government"
and is pursuing the ministers into the
Binquest Mountains. 1t has been his
ambition to capture the Filipino lead
ers, and he and General Young believe
that a cavalry brigade, living on the
country, could run them down to any
part of the island.
One vague report, brought by Span
ish prisoners, is that Aguinaldo and
others were nearly surrounded by
Americans soon after the Filipino chief
left Tarlac, but he escaped through the
lines in PEASANTS clothes.

Sketch of His life.

Garrett Augustus Hobart was born
on a little farm on the outskirts OF
Long Branch, N. J., June 3, 1874. His
father was a schoolmaster, country
storekeeper and farmer who had moved
TO New Jersey from Vermont.
His ancestors were English on his
fathers side and Dutch on his moth
er's. AS a boy. he attended the country
schools around Long Branch ana was
through with them when he was four
teen years old. The next year he en-
tered Rutgers College, where he was
graduated when he was eighteen.
AS soon as he left college he secured
a place in the law office of Socrates
Tuttle, of Paterson, who was one OF the
ablest lawyers in Northern New Jersey.
In 1866 he was admitted to the bar,
and three years later received his
parchment as counsellor. In 1871 he was
chosen City Counsel of Paterson.
The next year he was elected to the
Board of Chosen Freeholders, and at
the end of his term was elected to the
Assembly. He was reelected at the
close of his two years of office, and
when he reached Trenton was chosen
Speaker of the House.
Two years later, in 1877, he was chos-
en- to represent Passaic County in the
State Senate His work in the Senate
attracted attention, and in 1879 he was
reelected, and during the last year Of
his term was President of the Senate.
He was already a prominent figure
in state politics, and in 1880 became a
member of the State Republican Com
mittee. soon being chosen its chairman.
Four years later he became member
of the National Committee, and re-
ceived the complimentary vote of the
Renublicans, who were then minority
in the State Legislature, for the Uni
ted States Senator

The Gunboat Helena Has a
Rough Experience.
BUFFETED BY HEAVY SEAS
An Unsuccessful Attempt to Reach the
Wrecked Charleston-Big Cruiser
Partially Submerged-The Helena
Badly Crowded After Taking on

Manila, Nov. 23.-The gunboat Hell
ena reached Port Piocinco on the night
Of Nov. u. ON the next morning, with
a few officers. she went to the scene
of the Charleston's wreck to see wheth-
er or not it was possible to save any
thing. The cruiser was found to be
down by the stern until the afterbridge
was awash. 1t was impossible to get
on board the Charleston and the Hti-
ena returned to Camiguin, where the
Chareston's officers and crew nave
been since the wreck. The officers had
been occupying public buildings while
the men had been living in nipa nuts
They went on board the Helena on
Nov. IA.
The Helena took both of the Charles
tons steam launches, one cutter, gig
and whale-boat and left two cutters
and two dingies at Camiguin. The
Helena ran into a typhoon and made
only eighteen miles in five hours. She
was unable to proceed against the gale
and returned to port. where she was
stormbound for five days with lee
shore only 300 yards distant Both
anchors were down, and steam was
kept up so that the ship could move
out in case she dragged her anchors.
The Helena was badly crowded with
the Charleston's complement of 2S9
men in addition to her own crew OF
$50 men.
The weather permitted another start
on Nov. 10.
j When off Lingayen she saw the bat
tleshin Oregon, which signalled that
Generals Wheaton, Young and Lawton
had joined forces. Aguinaldo, with ten
/ officers had escaped ncrthward via
Santo Tomas. A troop Of cavalry was
in hot pursuit.
General Schwan says this is quite
possible, although these generals have
not made any report since Nov. H..
When the Helena started from Piocnu
she found one anchor broken off short.
The Charestons officers say their ty-
phoon experience was worse than the
wreck of their ship.
