The age-herald. [volume] (Birmingham, Ala.) 1897-1902, 1899-12-24

The papers abound in anecdotes of the
late duke. He was rather careless and
shabby in his dress, and his life at Elton
Hall was that of an ordinary country gen.
tleman. At any time during his stay In
Cheshire, the duke might be seen riding or
walking about his park quietly smoking a
cigarette, not often composed of tobacco
for he used medicated cigarettes as a
remedy for asthma. To his household the
duke was always an enigma. He rarely
spoke to the servants, and had an odd way
of leaving bits of paper about on chairs
with a word of blame as to their condition;
but with such personages as ms mouse
steward head coachman and stud groom ne
was on most affiible and confidential terms.
The car will present Prince George OF
Greece with splendid yacht as new
years gift. The vessel has been specially
built as Sebastopol, and is Intended as
souvenir of Prince Georges saving the lie
of the car in Japan while they were on
tour around the world a number OF years
ago. 3 ,oo,
Sir Thomas Lipton's plans for 1901 are pro-
crossing. He is confident his next boat will

To a reprsenta tive of the Associated Press:

No Mediation Would be Accepted

The Associated Press is informed from ex-
cellent sources that offer of mediation
would be accepted by Lord Salisbury in any
shape or form. The popular conception of
peace is that it must come through the idol
OF the army, General Roberts, and his no
less ado-ed chief of staff, General Kitchen
CT. The country is prepared to wait in
definitely for that eventuaity. The fall of
Kimberley, Ladysmith and Mafeking would
not make a particle of difference for this
stoical resolve is thoroughly imbedded in
the hearts of the people, who for the first
time in the memory of this generation have
drank deep of the cup of military defeat
and disgrace. Any other defeat that the
future holds for the British except entire
humiliation are anticipated by the scathing
criticism which the notion has infected up
ON itself. Estimates of the duration of the
hostilties vary from three months to a
year.
1t is learned by the great financial houses
in London have combined and furnished
sufficient money to insure no large failures
on settling day, December 2S, though the
small fry may suffer. Unless this action
had been taken several well known houses,
not of the first Importance, but of large
proportions, would it is said, have to go
under The concerted precaution has to
some extent restored confidence, but the
market Is still panicky, many people belev-
ing that the most serious crisis has not yet
been reached.
While most persons knew the late Duke
of Westminster was one of the richest men
in England, no London newspaper has
taken the trouble to procure an estimate of
his wealth.
He owned several thousand parcels in
London realty, which, together. according
to the dukes own estimate, made GOO acres
Much of this is in Belgravia, the aristo-
cratic residence quarter His realty values
in London were probably worth ESQ, 0OO,0 00
The heir to the dukgdom Is the late dukes
grandson, viscount Belgrave now in South
Africa, an aide-de-camp to Sir Alfred Mil
ner.

DEWEY ON FARRAGUT.

If you are interested in the express
sion of the Admiral's eyes you always
make it a point to bring Farragut
into the conversation. A newspaper
man did. They sparkled land he toss
ed his head little, as if he shifted
sea spray.
''I'm of Farragut's school," he said,
with the pride of Greek who had sat
at the feet of Socrates. 81 was only
a midshipman, but used to overhear
a great many of his remarks, and 1
did not forget them. A favorite ex-
preston of his was: you may be a
little bit anxious yourself, but don't
forget that the enemy may be even
more anxious. He is as ignorant of
your resources as you are of his-as
likely to overestimate them. Your
first aggressive move is certain to put
him on the defensive. Seek him out
and strike him. -
"Always, Admiral?"
"Well," laughing, "not if you have

WELCOME TO VERMONT.

The following verses were sung by the
ST. Adams Glee Club at the reception to
Admiral Dewey in Montpelier:
Air: 81 want yer, ma Honey, yes do.'
The leaves are q turnin', an the beacon
fires burnin'-
Here's welcome to the dear old State
We've been waitin' for you long, an we
greet you with song
Here's welcome to the dear old State;
While the summer suns been shinin', for
Dewey we were pinin',
And his coming seemed long and slow
But that's only cause we love him-for
the very stars above him
Was pushin' him along, we know.
CHORUS.
There's smile on the mountain, and a
tear in the dell;
Vermont owns her hero now, and loves
him mighty well;
Her heart beats high with Joy
EFor her own Green Mountain Boy
So givea rousing cheer, boys, for DEWEY
DEWEY-DEWEY,
An tiger for s'the men behind the guns"
On Sunday morn in May, in far Manila
Bay,
The Span1ards had an early call;
AM when they rubbed their eyes, in
terror and surprise
Their fieet--it wasn't there, at all.
All Europe woke that day, in wonder an
dismay,
To learn what kind of men they are,
Who go from old Vermont, straight to the
battle front,
When Uncle Sam announces there's war.
CHORUS
All Vermont is out today, in her very best
array
An yours is her heart and hand;
May your gallant deeds at sea, the we'll
earned title be
To honors, and to peace on land.
When duty bids US part, remember that
the heart
OF the dear old State beats true;
AM she will ever pray, God bless DEWEY
day by day
An don't forget the other Boys in Blue.

steam yacht, his sea home, the
Erin, 100000 more in fitting her
out, and another 100000 in en-
PERTAINING guests during his visit.
The most impressive feature about
this array of costs is that the yachts
upon which SO much has been spent
are useless after the races. The Col
umbia, for instance, can race no more,
for there will probably be no yacht fit
to meet her, and for cruising she
would be a failure. In year or two
her delicate hull will be worth only
the metal of which it is made.
The money spent by yacht owners
in entertaining also reaches far into
six figures. Commodore Morgan en-
tertained at least one hundred guests
every race day; and Howard Gould
and John Jacob Aston entertained even
a greater number.-Leslie's Weekly.

TIE VALUE OF PUBLICITY.

John Wanamaker's recent contract
to pay the Philadelphia Record $780,
600 for a page advertisement every
day in the year is itself one of the best
sort of advertising. This great con-
tract is the subject of universal COM
ment and remark, but it is only a
small part of the newspaper adver-
Using done by this house. In New
York the advertising bills of Wanna
maker are as high as in Philadelphia.
He is therefore taking up the bust
ness of the first American merchant
prince, A. T. Stewart, where the lat
ter left off. One of the chief causes
of Mr.. Stewards success was his lib
eral advertising and he was the pio
neer in this branch of merchandising
in this country. When Judge Hilton
took control of the Stewart store he
stopped advertising in the newspa
ers, believing that the name of the
house was SO we'll and favorably
known that it was unnecessary to call
attention to it. A few years of this
enough to destroy the property and
it was eventually sold under the ham
mer to John Wanamaker.
Mr.. Wanamaker had not taken po-
session of the new business before he
commenced to advertise it freely in
the New York papers. And he has
kept advertising daily ever since.
The result is that despite the discour-
aging prophecies of many of Mr.. Wan
amaker's friends. his store in New York
is doing a much larger business than
his store in Philadelphia and a much
larger business than it ever did under
the management of Stewart. The
street car conductors have orders to
stop their cars and announce Wanna
makers. This single establishment
has restored retail business to the To-
cality where it formerly fourished.
Mr.. Wanamaker is tn g best Judge
of the causes of his phenomenal sue
cess and he attributes it to constant
attention to details and to advertis
ing. In this age of publicity to at
tempt to build up commercial success
without regular advertising is to be
handicapped by deliberate neglect of
the most important single factor in
creating trade. 1t is such contracts
as Wanamaker has made with the
Philadelphia Record that enables him
to continue to do colossal business.

QUESTION ANSWERED.

Yes, August Flower still has the largest sale of
any medicine in the civilized world. Your
mothers and grandmothers never thought of using
anything else for Indigestion or Biousness.
Doctors were scarce, and they seldom heard of
Appendicitis, Nervous Prostitution Heart
Failure, etc, They used August Flower to clean
out the system and stop fermentation of undi-
gested food, regulate the action of the liver,
stimulate the nervous and organic action of the
system, and that is all they they took when feeling
dull and bad with headaches and other aches. You
only need few doses OF Green's August Flower
in liquid form, to make you satisfied there is
nothing serious the matter with you. Sample

AGUINALDO.

1t is hard at first to believe that
Aguinaldo's new proclamation is gen
uine. 1t strikes blow so destructive
to his own American allies, and It's
effect is SO sure to be sharper sepa-
ration and a palmer marker of the
friends and the enemies of the United
States government at home, if pub
lished just before an election, it would
have had the appearance of a cam
paign trick. It is authentic, however,
beyond question, for it was cabled by
The associated press from Manila, and
preston of hope in the democratic
party appeared in a previous A guinal-
do proclamation printed here in July.
Aguinaldo may be the ''sharp fell
low" that Admiral Dewey thinks he
is, but if SO, there is no other sharp
fellow in history who betrayed his
own case and with it the party and
the men who were his sole reliance so
childishly and hopelessly as Aguinaldo
has done in these words:
SIN America there is a great party
which insists on the government rec
ognizing Filipino independence. That
party will compel the United States
to fulfill the promises made to US in
all solemnity, though not put into
writing. Therefore we must show
our gratitude and maintain our posi-
ton more resolutely than ever. We
should pray to God that the great
democratic party may win the next
presidential election and Imperialism
fail in its mad attempt to subjugale us
by force of arms. There are some
Americans who have joined US, be-
cause they disapprove a war of what

THE COSTLIES1' SPORT IN THE
WORLD.

To the men Immediately interested,
international yacht racing is the cost
lest sport in the world. The bill for
the yachts themselves, for building,
alterations and repairs, will amount
to fully $3.50, 1000 for each; the expense
of racing them cost their respective
owners easily $3.50, 900 more. Here is
cool million just for building and
racing the boats. The sails alone cost
as much as an ordinary sailing yacht.
The CoIumbia's sails are said to have
cost $4,000, and the Shamrock's even
more, for hers were woven to order
from Egyptian and Sea Island COTTON
mixed with silk. The expense of
maintaining the crew was, Or rather
is, enormous, for the boats are not vet
out of commission. It is said that the
skipper of the Columbia receives $4,000
for his services. The salary of the
mate is one hundred dollars a month.
the second mate forty dollars, the four
gu artermasters thirty five dollars
month each, and the thirty-two mem
bers of the crew each thirty dollars
month. Food for the crew costs easily
$500 month; each tender accom-
panying the yachts costs $4,000 for the
few weeks of the season, and the dock
age and tonnage cost about $4,000 more
for each yacht. Estimates of the to-
tai cost Of the Shamrock have been
placed all the way from $15O.O to

self does not know exactly what his
little sport has cost him; there are
doubtless stacks of bills yet to be pre-
sented-such bills as $4,000 for the
charter of four tenders, and $500
wages for twenty extra sail-makers
for three months. Besides all this,

a cruiser and he has a squadron. But
the error of too much discretion is
more common than that of too little
at sea. The English have always
gone to the ports of the enemy. Nell
son struck the enemy first and forced
him to fight according TO Nelson's
plans. Drake sailed out to meet the
Armada, although outnumbered.
If ever a man practised his own
theories and proved them, it was Far
