sturdy race who achieve distinction nc
started in life without any wealth OF
family influence to push him along,
His father was a farmer in snah
wav. but with big ideas as to the
vaIne of education and he saw TO II
that his boy got good one. When II
came TO the choice Of profession, the
lad elected medicine and obtained nls
M. d. degree from the University Oh
Edinburgh.
Being of an adventurous spirit anu
anxious to see something Of the worm
instead of hanging out his shingle III
some country town and waiting Ior pa
tients to turn up he booked himself at
the colonial office and was appointed
government medical officer at Sey-
chelles in 1873. A year later ne was
transferred to Port Louis on the Isle
of Mauritius and in, 1875 was maue
chief medical officer for FIJI.
It was at Fiji he proved himselt
hero. The ship Syria, freighted with
coolies and their families, was wreck
ed on the Nasilai reef. He organized
the relief party and took command Oh
it. Repeatedly he swan to the wreck
returning each time with a man OF
woman on his back and sometimes
with a child in addition gripped Dy lts
clothes between his teeth. In TINS
way he saved himself no less thah ~
lives. 1t was feat that only man
of his immense physical strength as
well as courage could have accom-
plished. For this he received the
Clarke gold medal and values 1t far
higher than the tx. C. M. g., Q. b.,
which he is entitled to tack after his
name.
1t was at Fiji, too, that his talents
as an administrator were first discoV-
cred and he was appointed receiver
general Of the islands. That opened
up new career to him and he gave
up doctoring sick folk. In 1888 he
was made administrator of British
New Guinea. The New Guinea nap
tives are about the worst lot Of saw
ages under the control of the British
crown, most of them regarding it as
waste of human life to slay a man
without subsequently dining upon
him. But for ten years he ran the
British part of that big island, leaving
record behind him that is a con-
spicuous example of what can be ac-
complished among the most intracta-
BILE people by a judicious combination
Of frmness and moderation.
1t was to Lagos Sir William was
next dispatched as governor and this
post he held for four years, preserving
an even balance of Justice to whites
and blacks and winning the esteem Of
all classes.

Good Imck for the Turtle.

The Chinese have a peculiar custom
with regard to turtles, which they con-
slider as very good joss, says the Hong
Kong Press. Almost any day one can
see these creatures, some of them of
huge size, being carried on board the
river steamers, not to be taken to Can
ton for culinary purposes, but to be
dumped into the sea and restored to
liberty and freedom. Good luck is
thought to follow.

in the hot rooms and the crowd, a
faint flush on his smooth cheek. and
a singular sparkle in his eyes.
When at last Lydia entertained
again, billiard found himself entering
the crowded rooms at the Dennings'
with a quicker pulse than any social
affairs had ever caused him. AS the
evening drew to close and no Yir-
ginla came, he blamed himself for an
unwary hunter who had been follow

Willingly enough, billiard escaped

the door unceremoniously-a stop

heart With a little cry of discounted
surprise Virginia tried to pass him,
but his tall, broad-shouldered figure
filled the doorway, and he stood de-
terminedly still.
But was this Virginia-this lovely
woman with the blushing face, the
sweet, bare neck and the trailing white
garments7 A transformed and glori-
fed Virginia, then! He stared at her,
a joyful smile breaking over his grave
face. But with her head bent down

DELEGATES FROM BOTH

Nothing Given Out as to the Nature Of
the Proceedings Today, But Sweden
Insists Norway Must Accept Her
Conditions Unchanged. -

Stockholm, Sept I3.-Political circles
disavow any desire on the part of
Sweden to oppose the arbitration treaty
demanded by Norway, but they point
out that only the preliminary negotia-
tons in regard to the form and the
contents of such treaty can be discussed
at present, as their claim is that the
conclusion of peace is impossible until
Norway has accepted the conditions
laid down by Sweden, and the latter has
recognized Norway as an independent
state. Sweden does not believe that
these preliminary conditions laid down
by this nation embrace anything which
it is not right and proper that Norway
accept before further negotiations are
undertaken.

HE WAS AFTER .,2ss ..s.. .s.....s .@ .
PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT

4 Oyster Bay, Sept. I3.-Isaac Scha-
mus, Russian Jew, 20 years old, was
arrested here late yesterday afternoon
and after examination before a justice
of the peace, was sent to Mineoia, l..
IL, to be examined as to his sanity. The
arrest was made by a secret service
agent, one of the personal guards OF
President Roosevelt. Schamus was a
resident of New York City. He arrived
here at IL 30 p. m. from New York and
soon afterward had an interview with
Mr.. Barnes, assistant secretary to the
president. He desired to see the presi-
dent and talk with him about the price
8of coal. He said he was a general coal
agent of Greater New York There
was imminent danger, in his opinion
sof a general strike among the miners in
the anthracite coal region of Pennsyl-
8vania and the strike, he was assured,
would result in great hardships for the
people of the country. He wanted ten
minutes with the president to tell him
to appoint commission OF three men
who should regulate the output of the
coal supply SO as to provide the poor
with fuel at reasonable prices, even in
the, event OF SITlke. ~l" ..,,., /. is. 4,
Secretary Barnes recognized at once
that Schamus was the man who recent
sly has written one letter and sent two
kilograms to the president on the sub
ject, and he was informed that it would
not be possible to arrange an interview
for, him at the moment. A& 4
Later in the afternoon a secret ser
vice agent found Scharnus in his rooms
at a hotel and placed him under arrest.
n He made no objection to accompany
ing the secret service man to the Office
of Justice Franklin. The justice ques-
toned him at length in the presence of
the throng of people who had assembled
out of curiosity Schamus answered all
questions intelligently and nationally tin-
til coal was mentioned. Then he began
to deliver an address on the question of
the alleged oppression OF the people by
the coal magnates. His plan was to have
the president interfere in behalf of the
people and declared that had President
Roosevelt not settled the coal strike
three years ago more blood would have
been shed than the world ever saw. In
the course of his remarks he turned to
"a bystander who had asked him ques-
tion about anarchy and declared the time
would come when the people would have
liberty without the restraint of laws as
laws would be unnecessary. He pointed
to President Roosevelt as an example of
what a man could accomplish BY indi-
.vidual effort and said every man could
do as the president had done
When Schamus was searched at Min
cola, Ia permit to carry revolver signed
by Captain Lantry, of the New York
police force, and Commissioners OF Po-
lice McAdoo was found on him. The
permit was issued yesterday No pistol
was discovered, however and Schainus
said he had not carried one. sl
