COMMENT IN LONDON.

NEW YORK, May Pa dispatch to
the Tribune from London says: The
Post draws the attention of English
men to the annual report of the Mill
tary Governor of Havana, and remarks
on the surprising measure of success
that has been attained by the Ameri-
can administration in n short period.
The experience of Havana during the
first year and half of American super
vision proves, says the Post, that a
government under the authority of an
American executive would be incom-
parably better than anything that
Spain had been able to give and than
anything that the Cubans could create
for themselves.

NEW YORK, May 3O-A dispatch to
the Tribune from London says;
Everybody has forgotten the old age
pension issue which Joseph Chamberlain
brought into the political canvass after
the overthrow of the Rosebery Ministry
six years ago, but he suddenly returned
to the subject at Birmingham lately at
the National Odd Fellows meeting and
discussed 1t with an air OF sincerity, as
though 1t We're something new which in
terested him deeply. He urged that II
should not be taken up as mere bride
to electors, nor as a principle OF univer-
sal application, but as practical policy
for the promotion of thrift with the
help Of great friendly societies. His
speech was not important as practical
exposition of any principles of State So
cialism, but was interesting as a fresh
proof that the strongest and most am
bilious member OF the Ministry still con-
siders old age pensions to be a good
working asset for the Tory Democracy.

The danger threatened to British
shipping by foreign competition is
the subject of investigation on the part
of the British Chamber of Shipping. At
a recent meeting resolution was
passed urging British ship owners to
induce every firm to take at least two
boys as apprentices in each vessel, to
provide suitable accommodation for
them apart from the crew and to give
as much care as possible to their train
ing. At present there are not enough
British seamen to man the ships, and
unless England adopts the training
methods of other nations the compe-
tition bids fair to rapidly become
more strenuous.

with this defiance, whose meaning can
not be misconstrued:
The people of South Carolina cannot be
1urther deceived or misled BY this man.
anc L speak now in order that they may
1ully inform themselves in all of these
matters; and stand ready to furnish the
proof or everything l say, and, If neces-
sary, will meet McIaurin face to face in
any forum he may choose
Senator McLaurin retorted in kind
by charges as personal and as savage
as those made against him. Of Till
man he said to reporter:
He began his career by abusing and
siandering better men. 1 have a con-
tempt for an intellectual bully and
shameless pretender masQueradng as a
statesman. a moral pigmy posing as the
champion of honesty; and such a man
talks OF blushing for South Carolina on
my account. / neither court nor desire
his friendship or good opinion.
Nothing further is needed to demon
strate the bitterness of the feeling be-
tween the men. Each of them is
known to be absolutely fearless. and a
personal encounter would almost be 4
certainty if they should meet face to
face. Dueling has been made a crime
which DISTINGUISHES its participants in
South Carolina, and if Tillman and Me-
Laurin would meet on the field Of
honor" both would lose their senatorial,
togas. This may help the heated
statesmen to keep cool heads, but the
friends of the men will take no chances
and will do all they can to keen them
apart until they have time to cool OFF

When the late Charlie Crocker OF
Central Pacific railway fame crossed
the plains in the '40s by OK team over
the old emigrant trail from Council
Bluffs to San Francisco, he predicted
that, within a comparatively few years,
a steam railroad would be running
across the continent. following sub
stantially the same course travelled by
him. His prediction was considered
so absurd by his associates that he was
nicknamed Crazy Crocker." Mr..
Crocker had the satisfaction of not
only seeing his prediction come true.
but of being one of the leading spirits
in the construction of the first trans
continental railroad. Since Mr.. Crock

transcontinental line was completed

There is great danger that one of these

New York dispatch: Courtship and
experiments in wireless telegraphy
combined is the exclusive novelty that
Giglielino Marconi. the inventor. was
able to indulge in winning an Am
erican girl, Miss Josephine Bowen
Holman. his engagement TO whom was
announced on his arrival at Queens
town last Friday.
Miss Holman is daughter of the
late Justice J. A Holman OF the In
diana supreme court. Marconi. who is
only p years old. met his fance on
the American Line steamer St. Paul in
November. 1899 He had come to the
United States and made a demonstra-
ton of his wireless telegraphy by
sending wireless bulletins about the
Observation-Disclosures yacht race.
. When the ST. Paul was sixty-miles
from the Needles Marconi began send
ing kilograms to the wireless tele-
graph station that he has established
on the Hampshire coast. He sent tele-
grams for Miss Holman. who was i'm
mensely impressed by the invention OF
her friend.

train was about forty yards away, and

fellow in overalls jumped down on the
track, ran across it and laid hold of

man was a load, and his struggles
didn't help matters. Most of the wom-

covered their eyes. The young fellow
in overalls made last desperate, I'M

off twenty feet from where the old man
lay and ratified on to the Flatbush sta

the crowd laughed. but not much. The

others helped the elderly man on the

now. The Christian artist goes ever
to Rome, looks at the pictures ana
brings back to his American studio
much of the power of these old mas
tiers. The Christian minister goes over
to Venice, looks at the "Crucifixion Of
Christ" and comes back to the Ameri-
can pulpit to talk as never before Of
the sufferings of the Savior. The pri-
vate tourist goes to Rome and looks
at RaphaelPs picture of the Last Judg-
ment." The tears start. and he goes

Shriveling like parched scroll,

Christs Social Position.
So 1 remark it is with business
acumen and tact. When Christ was
upon earth, the people that followed
him for the most part had no social
position. There was but one man
naturally brilliant in all the apostle
ship. Joseph OF Arimathea, the rich
man. risked nothing when he offered
hole in the rock for the dead Christ.
How many of the merchants in Asia
Minor befriended Jesus? | think of
only one-Lydia How many of the
castles on the beach at Galilee enter

came to Joppa. he stopped with one
Simon, tanner What power had
Christ's name on the Roman exchange
or in the bazaars Of Corinth? None.
The prominent men of the day did not
want to risk their reputation for sanity
by pretending to be one of his follow
ers. Now that is all changed. Among
the mightiest men in our great cities
today are the Christian merchants and
the Christian bankers, and if temor-
row at the board Of trade any man
should get up and malign the name Of
Jesus he would be quickly silenced or
put out. In the front rank of all our
Christian workers today are the Chris
tian merchants. and the enterprises of
the world are coming on the right side.
There was a farm willed away some
years ago. all the proceeds of that farm
to go for spreading infidel books.
Somehow matters have changed. and
now all the proceeds of that farm go
toward the missionary cause. One of
the finest printing presses ever built
was built for the express purpose of
publishing infdel tracts and books.
Now it does nothing but print Holy
Bibles. | believe that the time will
come when in commercial circles the
voice of Christ will be the mightiest
of all voices and the ships of Tarshish
will bring presents and the queen of
Sheba her glory and the wise men of
the east their myrrh and frankincense.

When Mark Twain returned to New
York last fall after his long stay
abroad it was particularly appropriate
that his first formal welcome home
should come. as it did, from the Lotus
club, and on that occasion Joy was
unconfned. Mr.. Clemens told some
truths that evening which proved the
correctness of his theory. In fact,
most of the humOr of the after-dinner
speeches which he has made this past
winter has been in his presentation of
truth. Mr.. Clemens speaks with
slow, playful drawl, and occasionally
his eyes almost close. When laughter
interrupts him he opens his eyes, mods
and looking along the line of faces
opposite him. he sometimes smiles in
enjoyment of the joke with them. Mr..
Clemens. in speaking at his first din
ner of the things that had happened
since he had been away, said, reflect

from Sioux Falls, S. D., that Gerhard
has arrived there with his valet and
eleven trunks, preparatory to acquir-

hard says his visit there is for ''busi-

that his sole object is to secure a di-

IN SELF POSSESSION


por.aut quality.
The man who makes public appear
ances must have self-possession. says
Walter Damrosch. l have learned by
great experience that this quality is
all-important. There have been times
when the slightest perturbation on
my part would have made my Orches-
ira play out of tune. The musicians in
an orchestra place just as much faith
in their conductor as do soldiers in
their general. The best example of
this quality I ever witnessed was
aboard an Atlantic liner. The second
day out we ran into violent weather.
The propeller shaft broke, and We
were drifting helplessly. The waves
ran high and a general scare ensued.
Hysterical women ran hither and
thither and the men were pale and
nervous The officers, not knowing
what had happesed, at first, were OBJ
viously frightened pandemOnium
seemed imminent. In the midst of it
all young man whom | remember by
the name of Stone, who was making
his first voyage, came out of his state
room in an immaculate yachting suit;
he was cool and collected A man who
had been racing up and down, clad
in one of two scanty garments, seized
him by the shoulders, damned him
against the rail, and frantically said:
For Heavens sake what is the mat
ter? What is the matter?" Go and
ask the captain. please" replied Stone
Have you any idea of what is going
one?" Stone pulled out his watch, looked
at it and said, as he pulled his cigar:
II suppose it is something that hap
pens every Tuesday morning. This is
my first trip over, and I'm not running
the ship this time" In five minutes
order was restored, because other eX-
cited passengers became calm at the
self-possession of the young man.
Success.
