HE FINDS LOTS OF GRAFT.
Topeka Boy Relates His Tipping Ex-
periences in England.


Bernard Crosby. who is travelling in
England, writes about visits TO Shake
speare's home and other historical
places. He says:
Sunday evening went to St Barna-
bas church (Oxford). very high
Episcopal church. and for my first
time saw a high service. where the
men all sit on one side and the women
on the other, the burning of candles
and incense.
Monday 10th. we left oxford for
Warwick, a very old and strange look
ing place. The old church OF St.
Mary's where the Earl of Warwick
Robert Dudley, and favorite of Queen
Elizabeth is buried; also his deformed
son the Noble Imp" In the crypt of
this church is an old ducking stool
used for scolding women. Then the
Lord Leicester hospital esta bhshed by
Robert Dudley for twelve poor broth
ers in 1871. In it is needle work Of
Amy Robsart and a Saxon chair said
to be one thousand years old. In the
afternoon we drove to Guys Cliffe
Legendary story), which is on the
Avon and on it stands a beautiful cas-
tie beside which is an old Saxon mill.
The scenery here is beautiful. From
there we drove to KeniIworth and saw
the ruins of the castle by the sarns
name, one of the finest ruins in Eng
land (1120) presented by Queen
Elizabeth to the Earl of Leicester and
by Scott. Immense parts of the walls
and towers are still standing and with
small winding stairways one can get to
the top of the towers and wall. It
covers a lot OF ground and with lots
of rooms or parts of them, it's just like
exploring hidden places. cit costs so
cents to see and 1 might add that a
fee is required to see anything. from
1914 cents to so cents: Even the
church es. The graft Is awful and we
are looked uDOn as rich Am orleans as
all Americans are. Hotels Of the
smallest kind don't think anything of
charging So and 81 a day.. The
grounds are kept up beautifully and in
now green lawns. The walls in some
places are from ten to twelve feet
thick.
July II we drove to Stratford on Avon
and saw Ann Hathaway's cottage with
an old settee, carved bedstesd and those
everlasting linen sheets three hundred
years old. Then to the house in which
William Shakespeare was born 1850
Scott, Carlyle, Thackeray, KeaH and
BroWning's signatures are written on
the walls and windows. The Stratford
picture of Shakespeare Is here and the
frame Is a regular safe. We passed
Marie Corellis home and then to the
Church OF the Holy Trinity on the banks
Of the Avon in which Shakespeare 10

church is certainly in keeping. Ameri-

London, Aug. Answering a eues-
ton in the house Of commons today.
Foreign Secretary Grey said the gov
eminent had no reason to believe that
the report of the intended resignation
OF Sir Robert Hart inspector. general
Of the Chinese imperial customs, was
correct. The secretary had been in
formed by Charge d'Affaires Carnegie
of the British legation at Pekin. of the
new instructions given to the inspector
general Of customs and they did not
appear to be contrary to the assur-
ance given by China that the actual
administrations OF the customs will
continue as before. The secretary was
inQuiring, however. as to whether this
has been made quite clear.

way is cut down about twenty feet in
solid rock with trees very thick on the
top of the sides. It is a very beautiful
castle and contains a very valuable col
lection of armor, pictures. inlaid furni-
ture. etc. There is where the famous
Warwick Vase 600 B. c. is.
In the evening took a tram car to
bennington and saw moving pictures
of the Warwick Pageant that took place
the first Of the month.
July 18th we left for Chester, arriving
there about noon: one of the Oldest
towns in England go A. ID with a
wall around the business part of the
town. It is two miles around with a
walk on the top We walked around it
first and got good view of Chester.
It is on the river Dee. A funny thing
is the way the business houses are ar
ranged. On the street level are the
usual shops, then their ceilings acts as
a floor to other shops set in a little
farther back. On this balcony are show
windows with things the same as on the
ground floor. It is reached by steps
every little way and the walk upstairs
is just about the same width as the
sidewalks.
The Chester castle Is one of those that
England is famous for. An immense
old building with exquisite wood carV-
ings in the stalls of the choir and
very old stone cloisters. In here
might add I heard one Of the best choirs
I've heard yet and have heard a few
since I arrived, and noted ones too.
Every boy in their choir is trained per-
feetly, being schooled by the church and
devoting all their time to it. They have
two choral services day in all of these
Catholic churches.
ST. Johns church, with old church
ruins beside 1t, is another very inter
esting spot.
July 18th we walked through old part
Of town and drove to Hawarden where
G1adsone's castle is, also the church by
same name where he worshiped.. Beau
tiful statue and chapel erected to him.
From there to Eaton Hall. residence of

sleep. Topeka was not very well
equipped with hotels In the days before
the war and many visitors used to put
up at the shoe factory 1t is told that
once when JohlH Brown was being
bounded by spies and detectives, he
lay In concealment here for two days
and one night. Mr.. Branner hid him
under q big pile of leather and there
were as many as twenty people pass
ing and out OF the shop during the
day, not one of whom suspected that
there was a man in hiding there. 1t
Is said that one loafer actually sat
upon the foot of the long suffering
Brown for half an hour, little suspect
ing who he was sitting on" or the
agony he was causing.
So the factory grew and hourished,
Mr. Branner cutting and fitting the
shoes and the hands making them.
Then when the war broke out, the shoe
man Joined the rest of the patriots and
went TO fight for his country. The
oxen pulled the last load of leather
from LeavenWorth in 81 and shortly
after the shop was closed. When the
veteran returned from the war he was
SO battered and crippled that he was
never again able to run the factory.
So the structure that the citizens
were once so proud of stands rickety
and abandoned. The poor old thing
has not even been allowed to remain
on its own ground in peace. In the
first place its builder miscalculated
the exact location of Kansas avenue
and built the factory so far from
where the street finally ran that an
other building was put UP in front of

years ago the lot was resurveyed and
the factory was found to be encroach-
ing upon its neighbor's territory sew
eral feet. So they cut off four or FIVE
feet from its north side and propped it
up in a very insecure manner
If. it were not for the fact that the
higher buildings around it protect
their older comrade from the winds, it
would have fallen long ago.
The owner threatens to pull down
the old factory this fall. tt is to be
hoped that the SemicentenuiaI com
mittee viii succeed in obtaining the
old landmark for the exhibition. II
they do It will be one of the most in
teresting things on the grounds and
could be left there permanently as
curiosity.

DAYHoFF IS ASKED QUESTIONS.
Yates Center People in a Quandary
About School Business.

A query has been received by Su-
perintendent /. L. Dayhoff. of the state
department Of public instruction. from
Yates Center. asking whether a city of
the second class should pay the ex-
penses of d school bond election. Mr..
Dayhoff has written in reply that the
laws of the state are silent as to
whether this expense should be borne
BY the city or the board of education.
but that the custom has been for the
board of education to pay the expenses
of such an election
Another request for an opinion from
Mr.. DaxhoH came from Yates Center.
He was asked when the vote of a
school bond election in cities OF the
second class should be canvassed and
replied that the canvass should be
made at some reasonable and con-
venient time after the election and
that it should be made by the board of
education and not by the city council.
