temperance, and described England az
"a drunken nation" As for Mrs. Carrie
Nation, she laughed heartily over the
Kansas amazon, said that she was mis-
guided and that her efforts to reform
drunkards did more harm than good.
Lady Somerset handled the question
of canteen in the army without gloves,
and said that the time was not far dis
tant when Intoxicating liquor would
not be tolerated even in the English
army.
"Drunkenne is on the increase in
England" said Lady Somerset. 81 am
really ashamed to tell the American
people in what a deplorable state the
United Kingdom is. 1t has become
nation of drunkards. 1t seems hope
less to work for it's reformation. In
the army alone, the very place where
one would expect to find it, less spirits
are used than formerly.
"The increase in intoxication at
home is due to the spread of the dis
ease among women. I am very sorry
to hear that women in America are
drinking more than formerly. l cam
not believe it. had such great hope
of American women. They always
seemed to have more backbone and
will power than my country women.
ITO illustrate to you how women
abroad have taken to drink, I want to
say that about Is years ago the aver
age of arrests in London for int oxica-
tion was four men to one woman. Now
it is three women to one man.
"Why is, it? Well, one of the chief
reasons is that there has been too
much privacy about the public houses
of late, and women are now able to go
to any of them without being seen by
the public.
1.-THE increase in drink am ong women
has naturally made a great increase in
crime. The reason is apparent. Wom-
en- are more excitable, sensitive and
nervous in drink than men, and in this
condition will commit crime more
readily. The school bill that was
passed prohibiting the sale Of liquor
to children under IA years has stopped
drunkenness to some extent, but it is
only drop in the bucket"

MADE HIS OWN WAY.
Governor Stanley Started Life with
Seyenty-Five Cents.
Now He IL Chief Executive Of the
State OF Kansas and May Per-
hnps BE Elected to the
United States Senate.

At period in life when many young
men are "settled,"W w. E. Stanley came
to Kansas to make a new start as u
lawyer. He struck Topeka, but
couldn't find his starting point and
decided he would let the law rest
awhile, for food was nearly a necessity
for him. Not far from Topeka is
Oskaloosa, county seat of Jefferson
county, and the young man from Ohio
drove there, found the county super
intendent of instruction and asked for
a school.
"Just bit too late" said Mr.. Dick,
who now lives in Topeka, mot school
left this year."
Stanley had just IS cents and the
superintenden didn't convince him
fully. Somebody heard of school over
at Perry, between Topeka and Law
renee, and the Ohio man met the board
the same day. He was given the place.
Il wasn't worried, even if my CAPT
tai was down to Is CENTS" said the
Ohio man who is now governor of
Kansas. "There's never need for an
able-bodied man to suffer in this state.
/ wanted that school, however. It was
my purpose to teach only long enough
to get line on conditions in Kansas
and to make myself familiar with the
statutes and decisions. Then would
return to the law"
Stanley's father had Endorsed paper
in Ohio and the usual happened. The
sons college course was cut short and
when everything had been settled
there was little left. He studied law
in offices in Dayton and Kenton and
was 26 years old when he felt that he
could with conscience clear leave his
home state. The school at Perry didn't
keep its teacher very long; there was
an election for county attorney, and

UnlteO states 6eUdIe
Stanley, coming from Ohio, was
chosen. For nearly two years he held
the place, resigning in 1874, shortly
before his term expired. He had
heard of Wichita, in those days the
end of the Santa Fe and a cattle ship
ping point, and decided that was his
field. The six-shooter reigned in that
town when Stanley reached it.
In Wichita Mr.. Stanley opened a
law Office and began practice at once.
He had moved wisely, for from the
start he was successful-in fact his
Ohio training broke out again and wv.
+. Stanley for county attorney" was
changed to wv. f. Stanley, county at
torney," the first year he reached town.
He served three terms and then went
to the legislature-in 1880. That was
his last venture into politics as a
candidate until he tried for governor.
And he's never been defeated.
Mr.. Stanley is better looking man
than the familiar pictures make him.
The usual photograph shows him with
hardly line in his face-the photog-
rapher has carefully eliminated them
and gives an impression of man
not conspicuous for strength of char
acter. In reality the governors face
is well scanned, burrows plentiful
enough to show that life has not all
been Sunday school teaching to him;
deep enough to prove that he has
will of his own and has not lacked
occasion to use it. Then there are
many little wrinkles that grow more
marked when he smiles, lines of good
nature. In fact, his face is study
in clear eyes and wrinkles and his
friends sh ould enjoin the photographer
from his mistaken attempts at beauti-
flying. The governor dresses well and
can safely be called good looking. His
hair, mostly gray, is thin on top, but
is not lacking on the sides. In man
ner he does not affect the dignity of
the conventional statesman; it's not
hard for visitor to forget he is talk
ing to the governor of Kansas. Any
body may come into his office in the
state house without card or announce
ment. There are no guards, no ush-
ers, nobody to keep people out, and
it is worth remark that in the last
populist administration there were
many hating places between the outer
door and the governors private Office.
Gov. Stanley has been a hard worker
and still keeps good hours at his Of
fee. It is one of his rules to have the
Office open at eight o'clock in the
morning and until nearly six o'clock
in the evening. Often his is the only
Office to be found open in the state
house. In his law office at Wichita he
was frequently at work at seven in
the morning and stayed until late at
night.

Adelbert Waller, saloon keeper, OF
New Brunswick, N. j., has been missing
money right along of late from his till.
The thief took only bills, not bothering
with the snail change. The other
morning MIR. Waller pulled the draw
err open and found bill half inside it
and the other half pulled through =
small hole. Mr.. Waller took the
drawer out and found that rats had
pnawed a hole right up to the till and
were carrying money away through
the hole. He found number of bills
half chewed up in the cavity.

SIR THOMAS LIPTON.

the Political FieldD~
himself an enthusiastic home ruler,
and being an Irishman, having extern
sive business relations with the late
Joseph Biggar, declared revolution
list, Upton was considered good enough
to be offered seat in parliament in the
nationalist interest. His generous
purse would have been welcomed. He
declined the invitation on the ground
that while he believed in home rule
within certain limitations, he could not
subscribe to the separatist policy.
Since the death of Mr.. Gladstone, Sir
Thomas political views have changed,
and, as he is an intimate friend of Lord
Rosebery, it is more than likely he will
enter parliament under the banner OF
that statesman who has nearly all the
aristocratic lady politicians-with
whom Sir Thomas is so popular-on his
side.
The cons tituency in which Sir Th ON
as lives has invited him to contest the
seat in the liberal interest, but there is
a conservative majority there which it
would be almost impossible to upset.
If Sir Thomas could have the choice he
would prefer Scotch seat, and Glas-
cow, where he laid the foundation of
his huge business, would welcome him
as a representative. It is certain that
he will be soon in the house of COM
mons, and, with Lord Rosebery as his
guide, philosopher and friend, his
progress in reaching the upper house
should be neither slow nor hazardous.

Coler spent about $4,000 from his own
pocket for the benefit of the city.
Coler made more money than any
other official. His salary of $4,000 was
augmented in one year $4,000 by the
commission allowed the comptroller
from the state inheritance tax. On the
Vanderbilt and Smith estates alone he
received small fortune. In 1901 he re-
ceived only his salary, for law was
passed cutting off the allowance of one
per cent. to the comptroller for all
funds paid to the state from the trans
fer tax.
OF the public doings' of the young
candidate for governor much has been
said and written. There are other
characteristics, however, with which
even those who know him very we'll are
not familiar. For instance, some of his
best friends don't know that he is a
horse fancier and that he has a string
ribbons at various county fairs. He
didn't enter them at the horse show for
fear it would be said that he had turf
ambitions and that some might think
he was in the racing business, of which
he knows absolutely nothing. They
will tell you at the American horse ex-
change, however, that as horse-swap-
per Coler can beat David Harum, and
Judges at exhibitions in New Jersey
and on Long Island will attest to the
quality of Coler's colts.
Coler is also an art patron. He has
a fancy for discovering" things and
has frequently been the first purchas-
er of the works of ambitious young
artists. The upper stories of his resi-
dence. No. 244 Hancock street, Brook
lvn, are stocked with many valua BILE
paintings. He has offered this home
for sale and does not care to hang his
pictures until he fits up his new home.
He has also library rarely equaled
for unique volumes. He tries to attend
all private book sales and is frequently
seen haunting the oMbook stores. He
has a rare collection of the records of
old New York.
Coler's ideal statesman is Tilden.
He has on his Office desk volume of
Tilden's speeches all the time.
As an orator Coler has not made
much Roadway. He hasn't learned the
art of thinking on his feet; in fact, he
is a slow thinker except on matters of
finance. He is impulsive and frequent
" impetuous, but the composition Of a
speech is apparently hard work for
him.
As a inancier Coler is quick and for
midable As the floor member of the
firm Of w n. Coler & Co. on the stock
exchange before he was elected'comp-
trolle+ he was known as one of the
shrewdest men on the floor.

1t is entirely closed, deafness is the
result, and unless the Inflammation
