CR0KER VERY EMPHATIC.
IS DONE WITH POLITICAL LIFE
 FOREVER.
tics Again Settled in England to Make the M Most of His Rem nt ming Yoars Sorry About the Nixon Affair and the Present Tro mbIc i'm Tam many.

1 London, May 16.-Richard Croker began an interview to-day concerning | the affairs of the Tammany society with an emphatic protest that he had ceased to meddle in New York politics
 Thirty years of political fight ing is enough for one life,'' he said, and I am done with it, I tell you, once and for all.
 1T settled here to make the most of my remaining years and I am spinning them out as long as possible. I am not going to New York again this year. It will be novelty to me to spend a year round In England. Of course I shall go to New York sometime to see my friends, but never again to take part in politics.
 Upon being reminded that MT. Glad stone had twice been premier after de- claring that he had retired MT. Croker said: "Mr. Gladstone might have done so, but will not There Is no conceiv- able crisis in either national or city pol ltics which will drag me back into the fray. My health wont stand the strain and I am not going to sacrifice the re- mainder of my days, even for the sake of Tammany"
 When asked about the Nixon affair Mir. Croker said: "There is nothing to conceal I am very sad that there should be such trouble In Tammany. I can only imagine that Nixon found the place too hard and was unable to lead the boys. I can conceive of no other reason for this step which I did not foresee and which I deeply deplore."
 "They say" said Mir. Croker's inter- viewer, that if it your fault: that you tried to boss the boss and that he wouldn't stand it?"
 There is not word of truth in it." replied MT. Croker. and he proceeded to explain that Robert A. Van Wyck's for the post of grand sachem In no way concerned the political or ganization of Tammany.

Such as Can be Accepted--The Mistake c
 of Mnjuba Never to be Repeated.
 London, May 16.--Joseph Chamber lain, the colonial secretary, received a rousing reception from the Liberal Unionist association at Birmingham to- night. The immense audience rose as MT. Chamberlain entered the building and sang For He's Jolly Good Eel low" Tn his address MT. Chamber lain said in part.
 T wish could tell you that the great war is coming to an end. am hopeful that this is so, but not sanguine. It may be that the proposals from the Boer leaders will not be such as we can accept. One thing is certain: The mis- take of Majuba will not be repeated"
 MT. Chamberlain's remarks were re- ceived with great applause.
 Continuing, the colonial secretary said the government had never insisted upon the unconditional surrender of the Boers, but that it did insist that the lines of it's policy should be settled for all time. The country must remember, said MT. Chamberlain, that it owed something to it's self-governing colonies to the men who had died and to the Boers who had taken the oath of ale gians, and that there must necer be a chance for renewal of the conflict.

ransc. Singularly enough, this soil thus
brought from the lakes bottom proved the
0ne thing Tor the nourishment OF the beech,
md the beech woods there are made up Of
monster trees not exceeded in size by those
growing elsewhere upon the continent.
They tower aloft like oaks and crowd out
other growths. Standing splendidly upon
.he lone highlands, they tempt visitors to
exploration OF their dusky corridors and to
the coolness of their depths. Upon the
lake side have been built summer cottages
and resorts OF more pretension. One of
these, visited by the Gentils, had q broad
fat roof, from the water side Of which
vas a sheer fall of hundred jset. From
this roof was afforded a wonG erful view of
sunsets on Lake Michigan and here the
visitors thronged each evening 1t CHANGED
that Mrs. Gentil wished to enjoy the view
with others, and her husband accompanied
her up the long, tortuous stairway. He
reached the roof, Ssye enc a.,@a s..--s
about, turned pale and stumbled back to the
stairway, his wife assisting him. She said
nothing, save to ask him il he were i'll, and
he but replied that he would be better in a
few moments. She returned to the roof
alone.
Perfect as had been the life of the Gen.
tis, there had existed one little mar. Very
proud OF her husband was Mrs. Gentil, as
she had right to be. He was, and is, q
man among men. His record was not of
the present alone, but extended back almost
to boyhood. He was young when he led
his company CALAMITY in some of the fiercest
battles of the civil war. He never hinched.
The war over coming back as did so many
thousands of good men to future prospect
without much definition, he showed the
same unhinchingness. He completed a col.
lege course under exceptional difficulties,
helping others in the meantime. He took
up a professional career and fought it out
As bravely as he had fought out anything
before When he fell in love he was not TO
be denied and the woman he sought, the
one with him now, found herself his wife
almost before she had become accustomed
to the breath OF his swift wooing. He had
won fortune and some fame.
He looked the man he was, too, this Leon
ard Gentil. Broad Of forehead, keen of eve,
stern of jaw, erect of figure and decided
OF movement, his wife admired him as she
must, and yet she sometimes wondered
and was troubled. She wanted him per-
feet, and he was not quite that. He ex-
hbited. at times, what seemed q sort Of
cowardice. She could not understand IT,.
Once they had made trip to Switzerland

AIV Clemency," Mr.. Leslie j. Perry says,
M in recent issue of the Century,
that in all his many-sided aspects Abraham
Lincoln is perhaps better understood and
more thoroughly appreciated than any 9th
er great American, for his life was as open
as the day. His heart went out spontan-
eously to the lowly, whose hopes and as
pirations he understood. He was very ap-
proachable. With a cause to plead, the
meanest as well as the greatest could reach
Lincoln's ear at all times. Lincoln hated
strife and bloodshed, yet his career culmin.
ated in the greatest war of modern times.
He was made miserable by the trials and
misfortunes OF his country; his honest heart
was wrung by cases of cruelty and hardship
incident to a state Of war that were daily
brought to his attention on appeal in some
form. The tender hearted president was
the terror of military despots and brutal
jailers everywhere. Through appeals to him

take notice that the manufacture OIL
