Baron GILES de Rails, an enormously
rich Breton nobleman, who fought
with distinction under the banner OF
Jeanne dare and was Marshal OF
France at the age of twenty-five. After
the war he plunged into the widest
dissipation. His great fortune was
largely increased by the dover of his
first wife. Catherine de Thouars. His
favorite diversion was numbering bah
les and dappling in their blood. The
Church caused his arrest and trial. He
was condemned and was hanged at
Nantes, but was converted In prison,
and his last words we're to implore the
forgiveness Of those whose families he
had decimated by murder.

have been in vain if these reforms are
secured.
The Russian newspapers do not re-
people respecting the war. They cater
to the official class. Perhaps they do
not dare TO speak their real sentiments.
Their war news isn't regarded as re-
liable, though the papers are eagerly
CLEANED for the latest reports from the
scene of battle. If the masses Of the
Russian people could have their way
the war with Japan would come to an
end speedily and the work Of making
reforms IN the government from top to
bottom would be begun.

Apparently the death of Gen. Kurokl
of the Japanese army, is confirmed.
The disaster-for it can be called no
less-occurred something like month
ago. He has been called the stone
wall jackson Of Japan" and like the
"Stonewall" of the South. he died a
soldiers death. Kurok is believed to
have been of Polish origin. In Kuropat-
kin's army he was referred to as "the
accursed Pole" 1t is alleged that his
father, Polish officer who married a
Japanese lady, chraged his son to
avenge Poland's grievances against
Russia If it was ever in his power to
do so. Kuroli was recognized as the
cleverest thanking strategist engaged
in the Far Eastern war. A dozen
times he struck his enemy and turned
his flank at the critical moment. thus
adding to the glory of his country and
his own military reputation. Kuroki's
loss;if he is indeed dead, will be serious
ly felt. He was great soldier.

field, o., that Gen. ]. Warren Keller,
who has just been elected to Congress,
is going to lead the fight in that body
in favor Of reduction of the South's
representation in Congress and the
electoral college. Gen. Keller may,
with difficulty. be recalled by some of
the older inhabitants as the Speaker Of
the House of Representatives some
twenty years ago whose rulings made
him one of the most unpopular men in
the country. After many years Of re-
tirement somebody resurrected him
and got him commission in the vol
unteer army during the Spanish-Amer-
lean War, and he was in this city as a
brigadier with the seventh army corps.
During his stay in the South he was
the recipient of courtesies from the
people whom he now proposes to slap
in the face. However, it is not likely
that such narrow-minded politicians as
the Keifers, the Babcocks and the
Crumpackers in Congress will be per-
mitted to have their way.

The most extravagant expression
with respect to the election comes, as
might have been expected, from Jacob
A. Riis. Il am SO happy that don't
care what happens" he is quoted as
saying. That splendid, popular ma
jority shows that Roosevelt is, as dear
to the heart of the American people
as he is to me-" OF course that is
not possible. Human emotions, ordina-
rily speaking, stop a mile short of the
Riis worship of Roosevelt. There be-
ing only one Jake Riis, there neces-
sarily can be but one person in the
whole world who adores Roosevelt as
he does. 1t is sheer folly to say that
the majority of the American people
regard Roosevelt as the greatest man
born in the world since the year /,
A. D. Why doesn't the President
give Riis the consulship, or the post
Office, or whatever else it is that he
wants, and let him get out of the
way, where he will not continually
nauseate people with his SOLDERING?

 Born, as, 1t was, of a union between the trusts and the Republican party. the parallel of this Legislation, in scandalous features, does not exist up- on our statute books today. It puts into the hands of the President and of the Republican party the means of continuing its hold upon the reins of government without limit as to time. through the possession of secrets of trusts which, under the terms of the legislation itself. he may or may not make public or private. as he directs"

AMAZING RISE TO FORTUNE.
Samuel NewhOuse From Miner to MIL
 li0naire in a Day

New York American.
 A little woman. quetly but richly gowned, descended the plank when the Oceanic was made fast yesterday, and accompanied by a maid. hurried unob- served to 'N.," where she awaited the coming of a customs inspector.
 Even when sne mentioned her name to this official and convinced him that she was Mrs. Newhouse. of London, and that the twelve trunks bearing her tags merely contained the clothing necessary for a short visit in the Uni ted States, no unusual attention was at tracted to her, and she drove away from the pier like one of the great unidentified.
 The traveller was formerly cook and maid of all work in a sdualid mining camp at the top of a mountain peak west of Denver. but now Mrs. Samuel Newhouse. wife Of a favorite in the most exclusive social set in London. a New York. a charming hostess and the chief inspiration of a devoted husband who counts his wealth by the millions.
 Mir. Newhouse owns the Flatiron building. several mine railroads in Col prada half a dozen lead, copper and gold mines, and through his affection for his wife is all-embracing. persistent ly clings to the soil from which he dug his wealth, and makes his home in Salt Lake City. where Mrs. New house frequently visit him.
 The romance of the Newhouses Is one of those characteristic tales of adven- ture possibly only in the United States. As youth and maid-he just out of the 20s, she Is, little Southern maid they met in Denver twenty years ago. Newhouse temporarily abandoned his plans for a fortune to win the heart and hand of Ida Stingle.
 whn he had won her-as he did after a few months courtship--the two mounted a pair of mules and started up the trail to a claim that Sam" had his eyes on. There were a score or more prospectors up there and when Mrs. Newhouse discovered that she was the sole woman among them all she set to work and did the cooking, washing and ironing for the camp.
 While Mrs. Newhouse sti1l presided over the mining kitchen her husbands ga su LSUIm moIA 'smeo sYILls SIq came a millionaire in a day.
 His wealth has accumulated ever since. But through Mrs. Newhouse has cast aside the pots and pans, and now wears on the hands that artistIcally tossed flapjacks fortune in gems and weighs down her shoulders under the weight or the most string of pearls in the world. neither she nor her husband has changed in manners or disposition.
 Over one of the most magnificent mansions fin London now presfdes the oueenly little woman whose world not many years ago comprised log cabin in the Colorado wilds, and her manner is not more lordly now than it was then.
 That there is still some regard left for genuine worth Is shown by the fact that Mrs. Newhouse's popularity in London dates from the day when. at the height of sumptuous affair in London, she quaintly remarked.
 Do you know. I think the happiest day of my life were those that l spent cooking meals for the boys in the old mining camp"
