THE CHAMBERLAIN TYPE.
A Study of the English Politician in
 the Campaign.

A Study of the English Politician in the Campaign.
 At every Liberal and Radical meet ing the cries from the crowd have been for the speakers to discuss the enormi- ties committed by the Right Hon. Jos eph Chamberlain.
 At every Unionist meeting which
 have attended the mention of MT. Chamberlain's name has been the sig nal for yells and salvos of delight. The marrow of the contest at the polls is that the country is to vote confidence in Mr Chamberlain or the revers.
 Sir William Harcourt calls him "the Pretender," and other Liberals have said that in Lord Salisbury's statement of the national situation there is no vii tai paragraph except the one which mentions the work of colonial minister.
 His portrait is to be seen wherever pie lures of men are for sale or on show, and even in Birmingham the largest, most constant crowd is that which gathers all day long before quarter life-size photograph of MT. Chamber lain and his family.
 Whether men like or detest him-and he is the most admired and best hated man in Great Britain--there is no get ting away from him for any man who ponders or discusses the immediate af- fairs of the realm. He has always been growing, and at the pace of sweet corn in August, when the darkies say, you can hear it grow at night" but the South African troubles have pushed him up like a mango sprout In the hands of an Indian juggler.

 Abroad MT. Chamberlain stands as the representative of Britain, as we'll as of the most hideous spirit and work which foreign fancy, filled with hatred, can conceive or twist out of mixed fab le and fact. He is always foremost in the editorials and printed gibs and filings His pictures in cartoons and on postcards would paper the walls of the largest hall abroad. They depict him with tail, horns and single hoof, as the man behind every scene in recent English history from the Jameson raid and the Fashoda affair down to the sacking and burning of the sacred and arcadian homes of those Boers who

ABLE TO BEAR THE BLAME.

The young man had returned from his l wedding trip, and was again at his desk in the office It was the day after his return that the junior partner call led him to his desk and said:
 Nov, that you are married, MT. Quills, I trust you will be considerata in your treatment of me-"
 'I don't quite understand you, sir!'5 exclaimed the young man in surprise.
 "Oh, it's 9. little early, I know" ad- mitted the junior partner; "but there's nothing like taking time by the fore- lock. I suppose you haven't been out late at night yet?"
 Certainly not, sir"
 And it is none of my business if you have. But when you do stay out some night, be considerate. Remember that I have a reputation for fairness and humane treatment of everybody in this office I would like to retain. Don't tell your wife that you're sorry you're late, but that that slave driver at the office piled work upon you to such an extent that you had to work right into the night; don't tell her that the tyrant you work under gave you one-and-sixpence for dinner, and told you that you would have to post all the books in the office before leaving for the night. Just in- vent some other excuse, you know"
 The young man thought the matter over for a minute or two, and then asked, anxiously:
 Well if I should be late, what shall I say?"
 "Oh, put 1t on the senior partner, as do. He-can stand it."-London Tit Bits.

ENTERTAINME ENTS.
HyperiOn Thenter.

My Lady Dainty" the successful new comedy which Herbert Kelcey and Fife shannon will present for the first time in this city at the Hyperion to- morrow evening, is one of the type which appealed so strongly to women and young people. It's humor is pure and wholesome and it's sentiment has the true ring of genuine tenderness
 It tells an exquisite love story in which the heroine is pretty young governess who wins all hearts by her womanly graces beauty and gentleness. All theatergoers are familiar with Miss Shannon's personality and can readily appreciate how thoroughly she fills the picture of My Lady Dainty" It gives her great opportunities, both in its gen
 teel comedy and emotional episodes. Unusual interest is manifested in this production abroad as well as at home, from the fact that the English rights are owned by the famous actor, Charles Wyndhan, who will shortly present it at his own theater in London. The new play is of the character which MT. I<el- cey and Miss Shannon won such great success when they were the prominent figures in the Lyceum Theater Stock company. New York. They are fitted with roles admirably suited to their ar tistic accomplishments and graces of personality.

 The Royal is made from pure grape cream of tartar, and IS the embodiment of all the excellence possible to be attained in the highest class baking powder.
 Royal Baking Powder costs only fair price, and is cheaper at its price than any similar article.

OPENING UP SIBERIA.
Great Results Expected From the New
Rail Line.

The great Siberian railway, which
will probably be completed in two
years, it is said, will open to the world
country of marvellous resources. M.
Mikhailoff, in a article in the North
American Review, declares the mineral
wealth of Siberia is fabulous. The
area of its auriferous regions he states,
is much larger than that of the cele-
Australia and Africa combined. Up to
the present time gold has been obtain
ed almost exclusively from sand. al
though mining is carried on to a small
extent. In many portions of Siberia
there are loads of silver, copper and
lead, while iron and coal exist in great
quantities. Tin, mercury and sulphur
are found in the Transbaikal territory,
together with many kinds of precious
stones. There are vasts regions in
Siberia especially adapted to agrlcul-
ture and cattle breeding There are
immense timber resources and areas
peculiarly we'll fitted for manufactur-
ing enterprises. In addition there are
inexhaustible supplies of fish, while
Mikhailoff, as may be imagined, an
ticipates a rosy future for Siberia, and
If its natural resources be as great as
he represents them the new railway
should prove of inestlmable value not
only tn Russia and Siberia, but to the
world. In the economic awakening OF
Siberia ii is the opinion of NJ. Mikhal-
off that the United States will play an
important role. America, he says,
will have many opportunities Of
supplying the Manchurian and Siberian
railway with rolling stock and rails.
Our manufactures will find large
market for machinery, agricultural inn
plements and appliances for the equip
ment of fishing vessels and craft of
other kind. Until 1909 all machinery
for the mining Industries will be admit
ed free OF duty. In the district
traversed by the Siberian railway there
will also be market for cotton goods,
sugar iron and steel ware, chemicals,
typewriters, tinware, ready-made
clothing and to some extent raw cotton
for the factories which will be es-
tablished in some sections. Siberian
productions which may find market
In the United States, according to NJ.
Mikhailoff, are hides. wool and es-
pecially coal. Evidently, however, he
does not know how influential our in
FAINT coal and wool industries are in the
matter OF securing high-tariff legisla-
ton.

UNCLE SANS BLIND READERS.
Inc Attractions and Advantages in the
Pavilion of the Blind.


On the ground floor of the northwest
corner of the congressional library 1T

After the establishment of the read

The blind chaplain of the house
frequently gives an afternoon to the
entertainment of his companions IN
darkness, and they always enjoy him.
He has a soft modulated, sweet voice,
and he often repeats poetry of reli-
gious tone to them.
The musicals occur every Wednes-
day, and while many of the protest.
onal musicians have taken part in them
they are usually conducted by the
blind themselves. The love of music
and the gift of producing ii seems to
be one of compensating providences
for the sightless. Several of the

the reading-tables of the Pavilion,
where all of the sightless visitors may

In this manner one earnest-purposed
young woman writes a half-dozen
