Broken physically, but by no means
mentally, the Marquis of Salisbury sits
lonely in Hatfield House mourning for
his Warehouses. For thirty years they
trOd the primrose path of happiness.
and to-day it is the man who is left
alone.
Majestic in figure. as in statesman
England's Grand Old Man He has
come to the rescue of England and of
the Queen when other and younger
men nave failed; and Of all the states
men, he now stands closest to the
throne.
Still virile. in his SEVENTEEN year he
handles the government and cOunseIs
the Queen-but his friends feel that his
days are numbered.
With him will depart the last of the
typical old English gentlemen of the
Victorian era.
HIS METHOD.
One might easily imagine that the
Prime Minister would be the busiest
man in England, but he is exactly typ
1cal of the Englishman of leisure. It is
a favOrite subject of conversation with
him and he gives all the credit for his
extraordinary ease of manner to his
abject devotion to method. He has re-
duced his duties and those of his subor-
dinates to a condition of machine-Iike
regularity

Lord Melbourne, and the other Prime
Ministers of the nineteenth century,
wore only side whiskers. Before their

by the map that a cold wave is coming
east as fast as it can; and the indica-
lions are that it will be there within
tWenty-four hours, according to the
velocity of the wind.
If the people of Indianapolis read in
the papers that a warm spell prevails
in Virginia and that the wind is blow
ing strongly from the east, they will
know that thaw is travelling toward
them and can prepare for the same.
A thaw to many businesses is bene-
fetal; to others disastrous But in
either case the people must know Of it.
The gathering of all this information
is a work which brings crows feet I'M
der the eyes of the weather bureau men
and causes them to lose youth and
health in the service. The uncertainty
of the task is enough 70 make them
sleepless and the rapidity of the work
is such that they are utterly worn out
each day from their labors.
Washington is the headquarters of
the weather bureau and here Weather
Chief ILLS Moore sits at his station,
with his assistants, receiving daily re-
ports of the weather. These reports
are translated and sent out all over the
country; and in the preparation of the
reports the incest work is called for.

wave, blowing toward the south. at a

a day and a half.
At the same minute Toledo wires thai
there is a warm wind blowing toward
the east at a rate which will bring a
thaw to Washington in a day and a

Here are two conflicting kilograms,
and what is the Chief to do?
Well, and here comes the hard work.
He must deduce. He and his assist
ants must run rapidly over the other
kilograms and must see what the
weather is in other places, how the
wind is blowing and what are the
chances for snow or thaw or wind or
rain.
THE PROBABILITIES.
From these they must calculate the
proba bility of a wind storm cutting
through a mild wave; they must see
which stands a chance of reaching the
city first. At the same time there are
ocean currents that are very strong
and which may upset all calculations

The great blizzard which swept the

had not been for the weather bureau
man. Three days before the blizzard
crossed the British border in the north
west, for the United States, the bllz-
card man heard of it and issued ms
orders. No ships were to go to sea;
lake traffic must be suspended; trains
were warned of the coming storm and
engineers made ready to face it.
Still the weather bureau man was
not sure it would come.
The day before, as the indications

orders that the warning of the blizzard

present Lord Chamberlain, wears red
beard that extends almost down to his
waist.
OF all the Prime Ministers in 300
years Lord Salisbury is the first to
wear a beard. If it were not for his
great, Dubious forehead and long, ag-
gressive nose his beard would seem to
cover the whole face of the man and
constitute his whole individuality. he
is the very type of the strong minded
bull-headed, good-tempered Enghsn
aristocIat, and shows it in his appear
ance as in his words and acts.
The full name of the Prime Minister
of England is Robert Arthur Talbot
Gascoigne Cecil, K. G., Marquis of
Salisbury.
HIS CAREER.
He was educated at Elton and Christ
Church, Oxford. In 1866. in Lord
Derby's third administration, he was
Secretary of State for Inoia, which he
resigned in the following year.
He was appointed to the same post
on the formation of the DisraeH Ad-
ministration of 1874, and four years
later he succeeded the Earl of Derby
resigned, as Secretary of State for For
elgn Affairs, and went out of Office with
his party in 1880 In 1881 he was elected
to lead the Conservatives in the House
of Lords.
Until the death of his elder brother,
i'll 1865, he was known as Lord Robert
'-GCAl men lie assumed the courtesy
title of Viscount Cranborne, and on the
death of his father, in 1868, he became
Marquis of Salisbury, and succeeded to
the estate OF Hatfield. With the Earl
of Beaconsfield he was a representative
of Great Britain at the Congress of
Berlin. On their return from that mis-
sion they were rendered a grand recep-
ton at Charing Cross, and the Queen
invested him with the Order of the
Garter.
He has also distinguished himself as
contributor to the press, and espe-
cially to the "Quarterly Review" In
1869 he was elected chancellor of the
University of Oxford, and he is mem
| Der of the council of Kings College,
London. He is an interesting and al
! speaker. and one of the most versatile
ments. He finds relaxation in scien-
| tific studies, especially chemistry, as
! Mr.. Gladstone found in his study of
| the classics. Hatfield, the country seat
| of the Marquis of Salisbury, is one of
the most famous of all the historic
| country houses in England.
In 1885 he became Prime Minister.
He was succeeded in 1892 by Gladstone.
In 1895, on the defeat of the Rosebery
party, he again became Premier.
Such is the man who is next to Eng
lands ruler
Less is known about him than about
other statesmen. But more biographies
will be written.

Would I like to go with the Buffalo
to Manila? That is a strange question
to ask a man who is fond of ladies' So
ciety," and Admiral Philip smiled a
queer smile. Il am always ready to
do the duty which my country assigns
to me, and if am asked 20 go on the

But truth to tell, haven't been asked
and do not expect to be.

1T is strange in this busy place to
see the preparations that are being
made COR the comfort of the ladies.
The hunks will be long and wide and
soft. There will be carpets on the floor.
there will be a great saloon, where
meals will be served on swinging ia
bles, and not an inch of space will be
wasted.
Like all transports, the Buffalo has
a great kitchen, with it's score of
cooks. solutions and walters. There is
the bakery, where the bread is baked
fresh. There is a cold storage plant
for meat, vegetables and fruit, and
there is a good condensing plant to pro-
vide fresh water throughout the trip.
TT will be a beautiful journey and
a strange one, for never has Jackie
started on duty with such a charming
lot of mates aboard.

Such names are often given by DRINKS
wien arrested, fer they usually have wit
enough remaining when hauled into the

and they often give some nonsensical

AS a rule they are duly booked under

peculiar names that are sometimes shout
