had, In conjunction with Livingstone,
given her a continent for exploitation
But England was not to have It all
for France, Germany and even little
Belgium soon appeared as claimants
for their shares The king of the Bel
CLANS, In fact made himself practically
the sponsor for what ultimately be-
came the great Kongo Free State, and
from 1879 to 1882 Stanley was engaged in
opening up the region through which
ran the river he had made n highway
for the nations, He located trading
stations from the mouth Of the Kongo
to Stanley pool, along distance of l,4OO
miles, built roads and established
steam communication between the un.
known interior and the coast He re-
fused the governorship of the Kongo
and in 1856 undertook that unfortunate
expedition for the relief" OF the long
lost Emin Pasha. 1t was successful
inasmuch as Stanley finally rescued"
Emin and carried out the wishes Of his
employers, but 1t was performed only
at terrible loss Of life and of prestige
to its chief. Stanley was afterward, In
1857 presented with the freedom of the
city of London and otherwise honored
by British officials, but during the reac-
ton that followed the Emin expedition
he was reviled and hooted In the strests
Of the English capital But he survived
both adulation and revillngs, Stanley's
popularity was not permanently lost
and in 1890 he revived 1t by marrying
Miss Dorothy Tenant, the eminent
artist and society woman, whose am
bition was not wholly gratilled until
her husband had been elected to par
lament, 1t was in 1895 that he became
an NJ, F.. and four years later that
he was knighted, these tokens, both of
popular and royal approval, being the
seal of his final allegiance TO Great
Britain. With an English wife and a
British title, there is no possibility
whatever that Sir Henry Morton Stan
ley will again renounce his country and
return to America, though for years he
seemed to glory in the name "Ameri-
can" and displayed our flag at times in
Africa.
1t was as an American that he found
his opportunity, as an American that
he entered Africa for the first, second
and third times, sent by an American
newspaper; as en- American that he
made his reputation, but now, beyond
all doubt, though
lie might lave been Prooslan
An Italian or a Ro0sian,
He is an Englshman.
1t is said that Stanley was not a sue
cess in parliament, being heavy and
dull, as those Of us may well believe
who heard him in his American lecture
tour in 1901. He soon tired of the irk-
some life there, especially after having
been badgered by the opposition for
having sought preferment on the
strength Of his African adventures, and
now he Is out Of 1t for good and ALL At
the age Of 81 he has settled down to the
humdrum life of the eminently re-
spectacle English gentleman, with a
charming and famous wife, handsome
competency and honors thick upon him.
He Is still lion in society when he
chooses to be llonized, and he now d.
vides his time pretty much between his
elegant town house, Richmond terrace,
Whitehall, S. W., London, and his sum-
mer place at Furze Hin, Plrbright, Sur
rey.

~ ~ nee an Engllshman always
an Engishman' is a saying
current in the right little
light little" island across
~ the sea. 1t seemed at one
time possible that this ad-
age might not prove true in
at least one instance, about lS years
ago when the then unknown John
Rowlands, born at Denblgh. In Wales,
set sail for New Orleans and there,
meeting with a generous merchant who
befriendcd him, changed his name to
Henry Stanley, lie might have stald
In England tin the crack of doom, and
he never would have acquired the
proud title he now bears and never
would have been addressed as Sir Hen
ry Morton Stanley, c. G. b., or sir any
thing else as to that matter But there
he is today, seated upon the pinnacle
Of greatness to which many thousands
OF his fellow countrymen have yainly
asplred and surfeited with honors q
grateful nation was only too glad to
bestow.
Sir Henry Stanley has dropped out Of
public ken, TO be sure, since he refused
To stand for reelection to parliament,
and those who have seen him say he
has aged greatly in the last few years.
But he viii never drop out of the mem
DRY Of man while the great continent
which he was instrumental In exploring
shall exist upon the map. AS STANLEY
Africanus" he will stll I'll niche in
the hall Of fame and as an erstwhile
American he will continue to be mem
toned In the cyclopedIas Of biography
Stanley fought in the Confederate
army, and later he enlisted in the Unit
ed States navy and became an acting
ensign on the ironcad Ticonderoga.
Having shown himself 60 be an all
around man. he naturally fell into his
predestined vocation Of newspaper cor
respondent and, cutting loose from the
United States after the close Of the
war went TO Abyssina with the Brit
lsh expedition against King Theodore,
Being an American newspaper CORE
spondent, he naturally beat all his RI
walls by getting n report Of Napier's
great victory TO London ahead of the
official dispatches, thereby causing the
Engllshmen 10 open their eyes In aston
ishment. In 1869 he went to Spain TO
report the Carlist war and the next
year was requested to go to Africa on a
hunt for Or. Livingstone, who had been
absent from England since 1865 and
from whom the latest news received
bore date May 10, 1869, Reaching Fan
zibar after many delays en- route, Stan
ley finally left the east coast In March
1871, and, after great hardship, finally
came upon the pioneer dlscoverer at
Ujlji Lake Tanganyika.
This was in November, 1871, and after
spending several months with Living
stone, during which the two made an
examination Of the great lake, flanagan
yika, Stanley set out for the coast In
February, 1872, arriving at Zanzibar in
March and In England the following
July. That the unique and successful ex-
plorer was feted and honored, presented
with a gold snuffbox by Queen Victoria
and gold medals galore by geograph-
ica societies, is now a matter of COM
paratvely ancient history, for all this
occurred nearly 30 years ago. Stanley
was then only 90 years old, having been
born In 1870, the very year by the way,

was not carried out owing to the refus-
al OF Beaoonsheld TO accept II on ac-
count of the rldicule cast upon the
scheme by the press, although money
had been subscribed for II by more
than $1,000 people, The great Dsraeli
has been dead 20 years, and even now
the impression that he was possessed Of
o'crweening modesty Is not universally
prevalent. At the same time 1t may be
recalled that he declined title when
first offered him by Queen Victoria and
recommended that It be bestowed upon
his wife, though his enemies claimed
II was not so much modesty as politics
which moved him to put aside the hon.
