Lord Salisbury's resignation comes
at last as an event long expected,
though often denied. Thus the last
great man of the Victorian age passes
out Of the ranks-a man whose name
will stand in history beside that OF
Peel and Palmerston and Gladstone
and Beaconsfeld the contemporary OF
Tennyson and Browning, Huxley and
Darwin and Tyndall. Following the
swan-like song Of Herbert Spencer,
the retirement Of Lord Salisbury marks
the closing of an age which many be.
lieve will stand out as the greatest
age of England's history, exclaims
Harper's Weekly. Lord Salisbury, as
a great feudal noble, a man whose
family has been pre-eminent since the
Tudor times, the days Of the founding
Of the English Church and the English
imperial power, the Oriental Empire,
and England's great colonies in the
Old and New worlds, was in his own
person a symbol and an embodiment
Of that feudal and oligarchical Eng
land which loomed so large in the
history Of the world. As a statesman
he represented the old-world belief IL
the divine right of kings, whose in.
terest, rather than that of their sub
jects, it was the business of minister
10 consult. His diplomatic methods
were those Of the Elizabethan age; and
he would have been well fitted to cope
with men like Henry of Navarro OF
Philip the Second, or the great figures
OF the Middle ages. ----------.-

New story of Kitchener.

From New Zealand comes a new
story Of Viscount Kitchener, says the
London Express.
A trooper of the Third Contingent
had been sent to Pretoria. Arriving
o; his destination, he was sitting in a
railway carriage awaiting orders.
While he was enjoying a pipe rag
ged-looking gentleman in khaki"
came along the line
The stranger wore no stars or other
distinguishing marks. and did not look
ia any way impressive. Passing in
front of the young officer, lie asked;
"Colonel?"
Yes" was the reply.
"Which?"
"Third New Zealand"
'Ah. you are TO join Plummer."
The stranger then began to talk Of
"inside orders" in a way that surprised
the New Zealander who remarked
that he was awaiting just such orders
from Lord Kitchener.
well. you've got them. I'm Kitch-
ener," was the unexpected reply.
The New Zealander took his pipe
from his mouth, stood to attention and
began TO feel uncomfortable, but he
found Lord Kitchener absolutely de.

Peculiarities of Twins.


a teacher who during many years
of child training has counted among
her pupils more than one pair of twins,
has interesting facts to tell about them.
They may look, she says, as much
alike as two peas in a pod, so far as
face and figure go, but 1t is seldom
their dispositions are alike. or twin
boys she once taught, one was an
earnest student the other was a typi-
cal tomboy, hated lessons and would
not touch book, except under COM
pulsion. In spite Of their dissimilarlty
they were inseparable companions,
with the usual bond of love between
them which seems to exist when chill
dren are born into the world together.
They went to college together and
graduated on the same day, one with
high hOnOrs. the other barely cot
through his examinations although
he had won fame as an athlete. Twin
girls, who were under the instruction
Of this teacher again were wonderfully
alike in face, tastes and minds. They
both had a love for music. and their
progress, their touch, their voices, were
rs much alike as II they had been one

An Exciting Runaway.

Dodgeville Sun; Friday, July II, at
about one o'clock in the afternoon
the team of William Short broke their
fastening at Williams Bank and ran
furiously down the street toward the
Central depot. John Hughes was
coming from the depot with his team
and bus. He met the runaway team
in the'narrow place between the side
walk and Jones warehouse. 1t was 4
terrific crash. Both teams were
thrown down; the front of the buss
was broken in but Mr. Hughes was
not hurt. Soon the horses were got
up, when it was found that only Que
of Mr.. Hughes horses was hurt, He
has an ugly cash in his hip and is
otherwise bruised. 1t seems mracu-
lOus that no greater injury was none.

STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, July 30--There was a fur
ther contraction of dealings in to-day's
stock market and a decidedly hesitat-
ing and fiuctuating tone during the
day The professional traders were
watchful for a turn in the tide of the
market, and kept prices fiuctuating ir-
regularly over a small range during
the greater part of the day. There
were no developments of great impor-
tance. The additional engagements of
gold has been fully expected and. in
fact, turned out to be rather smaller
than had been feared.
There was evidence of continued IL
quotation on a large scale during the
forenoon, which was attributed to the
Western party whose operations have
come to prove a powerful influence In
directing the course of a large specu-
lative following in Wall street. The
cessation of this liquidation was fol-
lowed by scattering demonstrations Of
strength. The st. Louis and San Fran
cisco securities were very buoyant,
which caused a revival of rumors that
they are to be taken in under the Rock
Island plan. The semi official intima-
lions OF the plan Of allotment of the
new securities does not provide for this
absorption.
The movement served, however, to
offset to some extent the depressing
effect upon the stock market which has
been caused by the discussion of the
reports OF the Rock Island plan. The
rise IN Chicago and Eastern Illinois
and in Chicago and Alton and the
flrmness OF Illinois Central seemed to
be related. The abrupt rise In New

The possibility of serious damage was

ground being taken that serious loss

later advices may show the situation
to be far from serious. Moreover, we
are so near the issue of the govern

natural desire to see what the govern
