TROUBLES in ALL TRADES.

A principal Of one Of the Detroit
public schools was sitting at his desk,
talking to friend, the other day.
The telephone bell interrupted the
conversation, and the principal took
down the receiver.
After few minutes Of irascible talk
over the wire, he slammed down the
receiver and turned to his friend with
a scowl.

visitor.
Whats the matter?" queried the
principal. "oh, it's Just another Of
those loving mothers. They make me
tired; keep calling me up all day long,
and treat me as though I were the Of
flce-boy or janitor."
What, did this one want?" ventured
the friend.

principal, breaking into smile.

Cleveland found that to take Lands

also, he acqusesced in the situation.
Later Lands and the president be-
came strongly attached to each other.
A man of striking features is Judge
Lands, whose tangled iron gray hair
gives him the appearance of a man
much older, for the judge is not quite
Al. He was born in Melville. o.. No
yember 20, 1855, and is the sixth child
of DR.. Abraham H. Lands, who during
the civil war was surgeon in the
Twenty fifth Ohio regiment. 1t is to
the fact that his father was badly
wounded at the battle of Kenesaw
mountain that the judge owes his
peculiar baptismal names.
At the age Of seven he went with
his parents to Logansport. Ind, where
he attended public school. AS a boy
he carried papers. Then he became
q reporter on the Logansport Journal.
He studied stenography, and from
1853 to 1886. was official stenographer
Of the circuit court of Lake county,
Ind. Coming to Chicago, he entered
the Union College of Law, from which
he was graduated in 1890. He was adj
mitted to the bar, and at the time
when Secretary Gresham chose him
for his private secretary and confidant
he was one of the instructors in the
Northwestern University Law school.
While in Washington Lands gained
most valuable knowledge of men and
things, which proved helpful in his
later years. He came to know Mr..
Gresham SO well that he OWNED in.

great responsibilities in the absence of
his superior, invariably to be backed,

him.
He relieved his chief of as much Of
the burden of the Office as possible,
and he came to be known in and out
of the department as having Gresh-
ANS sanction for all matters inSwhich
he assumed authority. Thoroughness
and directness characterized his every
act and being gifted with tact and
fine judgment, he knew as well what
matters to let alone as what to take

CAR FOR AMERICAN PLAN.
Favors Holding Big Peace Conference
Every Seven Years.

The Hague. Sept. 2.-In answer to
the inquiry Of President Nediloff, EN-.
peror Nicholas has declined to repeat
an offer to give up the right of calling
and organizing peace conferences.
But the Russian delegation is to sup
port any proposition concerning meet
ings on the lines of the American
proposition, namely that the confer
ence meet every seven years.
The Americans have drawn up a
new proposal with respect to the col
lection of contractual debts, differing
from the first proposition only in
form. It is principally intended to do
away with the numerous reservations,
made when the first proposal was put
to a vote.

Casablanca, Sept. 2.-Fierce bayonet

ture OF the battle Thursday when the
Noors attacked the French camp. For
time the defending army was driven
back by the Moor assault until re-en-

The tide OF battle turned. Native
auxiliaries charged the Moors, saber-

finally broke and fed in disorder In
the meanwhile the French warships
had showered shells into the hills
where the natives were sheltered.
The engagement lasted three hours.
The line of battle extended over two
miles and it is estimated that over 49,

the latter is not known, but 1t is be-

Mansfield Dies Rich Man.
Mr.. Mansfield's estate is difficult to
estimate, but he undoubtedly died a
wealthy man. During his extremely
busy career he won and lost several
fortunes, but for several years his
tours have been triumphal in their sue

IN the country. Although he lived
Nike grand seigneur" and lavished
money recklessly upon his produce

widow and son fortune that will run
anto the hundred thousands. In addi-
tion, he carried $2s0,e0O of life insur-
ance. His estate in New London
forms the most extensive real estate
holdings Of any summer resident
there, and he also owned handsome
residence on Riverside drive, New
York city.
Death Widely Discussed in London.
London, Sept. 2.-The death of
Richard Mansfield is almost the sole
topic in the theatrical world of Lon
don. Prominent actors and managers
unite in paying tribute to his genius,
which they declare has not been
equaled since Booth and Irving were
IN the heyday Of their, careers. All
the papers follow the announcement
of his death with long and appre-
ciative sketches of his struggles and
triumphs in both England and Amer.
lea. He is invariably described as
Americas foremost actor" and for
his skill as a producer and stage man
ager he is called the "Beerbohm Tree
OF America" The sad termination OF
his brilliant stage life is deeply de.
plored.
