are always attended with friction which eventually sets men $ passions on fire. In 1850 the storm clouds gathered over the Union. The opportunity was there. but not the man. There was no recognized leader on either side; either for or against the Union, although each side had many advocates Calhoun was for separation Clay for compromise and both being powerful men, to a great extent neutral lzed each other While matters stood in this condition another figure came on the stage in the shape of Daniel Webster. He had immortalzed himself by speech he had made in opposition to accession. Ills words. Liberty and Union, now and for ever, one and inseparable," are imper- ishable.
 Webster's ambition to become President made him recant many of his former declarations, notably, those on the ques- tion of slavery and his defeat was the defeat of his party.
 Clay died in the early part of 1852 and shortly thereafter Webster closed his career. With the death of these two men the whg party came to an end. The democratic party came back into exist ence in 1858 with Franklin Pierce as Pres ident.
 Early in Pierces term the Kansas Nebraska question came before the coun- try with slavery again as the handspring of action. A growing feeling of opposi- tion to slavery was reaching climax in many northern states, and an equally determined attitude in it's favor was being assumed in the southern states poliL- ical party known as the abolitionists was forming which not alone resisted the fur ther advance of slavery into new territory but condemned the while system. The repeal of the Missouri compromise was advocated by the friends of slavery and state rights. The bill was passed in both houses and slavery was once more made n matter for each state to adopt ject just as it saw ft This action split up the democratic party into splinters, each of which formed itself into a new party under whatever name most ap- pealed to it's taste expressed it's pur- pose Then arose the "know-nothing' party the "free-sollers," the abolition ists," the "old democrats" and a lem peranoe" party, each and all claiming that salvation. political and otherwise was only to be had in it's ranks. At the base of all the conflict lay the question of slavery. This great problem was hasten ing to a final solution and wise men at that time did not fail to see what the solution would be, but the man to solve the problem was splitting rails.

NOISES AssAIL ONE AT NIGHT.
Man Who Wishes to Sleep by Day Not

From the Washington Post.

From the Washington Post.
 Night workers who want to sleep late mornings complain of the disturbing noises in the streets by day-the garbage horns and the~scissors bells, the organ grinders and the old clothes man, and they want the board of health to get busy and stop them, but tell you" said a fat-dwelling day worker. that where the board of health wants to step in is to stop the disturbing indoor noises be- tween 10 D. m. and midnight
 The night worker who goes to bed late say at 1 or o'clock In the morning, can at least go to bed In peace and quiet; and l should think that if he once got going he ought to be able to keep on sleeping; but the day worker who wants to go to bed early gets no such chance at all.
 Talk about a few garbage horns and scissors bells, and that sort of thing, somewhere out in the street, compared with pianos. phonographs and high so- prano voices in the same house, and above and below and all around youi Why, l think the night worker must be selfish person. He wants the world turned upside down so that he can sleep mornings. h
 Doesn't he know that there are 17.OOO,- GOO day workers to one night worker and that they can't sleep nights? Tut. tuti What the board of health really wants to do is to pass, a law prohibiting the use of piano and photographs and high so- prano voices after 10 p. m. and then 1t might be well enough for them to get after the garbage horns and bells"

 Anthony Hope, after having published a number of novels along very different lines, has now returned to the method of his great success, "rhe Prisoner of Zen da," and has written a stirring romance of little principality in the heart of Ger many, which the Harpers will publish shortly under the title of 'Sophy of Kra- vonia.' As the title implies, heroine. not a hero, holds the center of the stage in his new book, and the adventures in which she figures are said to have the true 'Zenda'' touch.

pathy with their acts and ready to as- sist in remedying the grievance But Jackson was the President of the United States and to him notification was trea- son. He quickly informed the people of South Carolina that any attempt on their part to separate from the Union would result in the invasion of the state by federal troops and drenching the soil in human blood. South Carolina proceeded no further along that line.
 During Jacksons last term as Presi- dent, John C. Calhoun, who had come to regard himself as the heir apparent to Jackson, fell out with the President and thereby lost all chance of being nomi- mated. He immediately became a bitter opponent of Jackson and his policy, and joined with Clay to form q new party, which they called the whlg party.
 The whig party came into existence In 1884 and absorbed a party previously formed by Clay known as the national republican, The whigs took their name from the old revolutionary party which had opposed the power of England in former days. and was now opposed to. the encroachments of executive power on state rights. It first appeared as a factor in politics when it opposed the election of Martin Van Buren, a nominee of An drew Jackson, in 1887, and gained its first victory in the election of William Henry Harrison in 1SA. Harrison died in ono month after his inauguration and was succeeded by John Tyler who had been elected by the whigs as Vice President to Harrison. Tyler soon fell out with his whig supporters and joined the dem ocrats. In 1S44 Van Buren came forward as democratic candidate, but failed to get the nomination, which fell to James K. Polk, with Henry Clay as his whig opponent. Clay and his party fell and with it practically ended the career of Clay. During Folks administration the Mexican war was fought which ended in the annexation of Texas and New Mex ico.
 Here again the slavery question be- came an issue with threats of secession being continually heard from southern states The admission of California in 1S49 as a free state was considered a de- feat by the pro-slavery party who sought to offset it's consequences by the admis sion of Texas as a slave state.s

 In his Personal "Reminiscences of Hen ry Irving" Bram Stoker describes one of the great occasions at Irving's theatre, when Gladstone came behind the scenes to watch the performance The stage hands, he said, "seemed determined to make 1t a gala occasion. They had pre- pared the corner where he was to sit as though 1t were for royalty. and had rigged up sort of canopy of crimson velvet so that neither dust nor draught should come to the old man. His chair was nicely padded and made comfortable. I fixed him fin his place and showed him how to watch for and avoid the drop-scene, the great roller of which would descend guided by the steel cord drawn taut beside him. Lest there should be any danger, through his unfamiliarity with the ways of the theatre, I signalled the master carpenter to come to me, and cautioned him, Would 1t not be we'll I said, if some one stood near here in case of accident?' It is all right, sir; we have provided for that The two best and steadiest men in the theatre

 Wilbur Nesbit, whose new story "The Gentleman Ragman," has just been pub lished by Harper & Brothers, is a Scotch Irishman of 35 years "age and experi- ence," as he puts 1t. In his early youth he was destined for the ministry his for bears being Covenanters, and there hav- ing been a minister of the 'auld kirk" in each family since the time of the persecu- tion in Scotland. But the young man leaned more toward concealing sermons in verse and prose, and shattered the tra- ditional custom of the Nesbits by becom- Ing newspaper man, and from that gravitating into feature work for news papers, and to the production of short stories and poems for the magazines. "The Gentleman Ragman," like many
