relics connected with wars on slavery.
American pilgrims, it is announced,

The house in which Wilberforce was
BORN has a history besides his connec-
ton with it. Way back in the seven
teenth century it was the first house
in Hull, and when King Charles l., of
unfortunate memory, came to Hull, it
was selected as the place most suita-
bic for his reception.
The Wilberforce who came into be-
ing there was a son of wealthy par
ents, and all his inclinations should
have turned him toward life of studi-
Gus ease, but his adherence of the
traffic in human flesh early made him
a militant opponent of the system, and
it is recorded that as early as his
schoolboy days he wrote a paper
which attracted general attention. 1t
was called an article I'm Condemna-
ton of the Odious Traffic in Human
Flesh" and was printed all over Eng
lana, DIS we'll DIS DCluS SllNuldCOu Ill IAAS
colonies.
That battle toward whose successful
issue Wilberforce directed his ener-
gies looked at the outset hopeless one:
It was not alone the STAKEHOLDER OF
England who stood opposed to the
Wherefore campaign. The ship own
er joined, for the business of carrying
slaves to the American colonies had
become profitable one.
On attaining his majority, Wilber-
force found himself possessed OF a
large fortune, and determined to enter
parliament, in order to be better able
to carry on the fghe. In 1880 ne was
returned for Hull.
By a fortunate circumstance ne mad
learned to know the younger Pitt at
Cambridge, and when both were mem
bers of parliament, Pitt lent willing
ear to the crusade of Wherefore to
make the slave traffic illegal. During
all the long contest that followed, PIT.
while busy with other national prob
lens of great moment, was ever at
the elbow of Wilberforce, doing all he
could to aid the cause.

ENGLAND CELEBRATES
ABOLITION OF SLAVERY
Pays Tribute to Memory of William, Wiberforce, Who
Fought Against Slave Trade.

Grateful England recently paid
tribute to the memory of the man
whose mighty labors resulted in the
final passage of law5abolishing the
slave trade in Great Britain in 1907,
William Wilberforce lis the greatest
name identified witEzhe movement,
which continued for aIentury, and did
not>succeed till it found in him lead
er whose zeal and power never Jagged,
till the traffic had been made Illegal I
In no place did the celebration seem
as fitting as in the venerable house in
the city of Hull, where Wilberforce
was born, Aug. 25, 1853.
1t is somewhat curious that a cen
fury and a-half should have been per-
mitted to pass before public opinion

STRIKING RESEMBLANCES
AMONG OUR STATESMEN
Comedy of "7vo Dominos' Finds Frequent Repeti-

When recently the two newly elect

the floor of the senate, veteran legis-

Inc comment was accurate, for it
would be hard to find two men who
resemble each other as much as Briggs
and Du Pont. They are about the
same height, each parts his hair on the
left side, each has mustache and
Goatee of the style that on the stage
is always credited to Southern
colonies, and both wear the same kind

senator Du Pont is so we'll preserved
that he looks little older than his col
league, though fifteen years separates
them. Were it not for the fact that
the Delaware man occasionally puts on
eyeglasses, while the Jersy statesman
never uses them, there would really be
no positive means of Identification.
There are many similar and remark
able cases of striking resemblances in
Washington public life
Besides having in common their dis
like for most of President Roosevelts
policies, Senators Foraker and Aldrich
share also a most unusual personal re-
semblance. There is really only one
difference. Forakers head is still we'll
covered, while Aldrich is qualified to
sit in the first row at the burlesque
shows. But take the two men with
their hats ON, and there is virtually no
telling them apart.
1t is a favorite joke of veteran news
paper men to have fun with younger
colleagues by telling them that For
aker is Aldrich and vice versa One
newcomer tried very hard to get a
fiery statement from Aldrich on the
Brownsville incident, thinking all the
time that he was talking to Foraker.

Baseball Boys
Get Busy
More Interest Shown and
Many Players Report
For Practice.

We are pleased to note the in
creased interest and enthusiasm
shown in baseball of late. Con-
sequent to the meeting held last
week, the players met and elect
ed Richard Betz as captain.
Since that time the boys have
been showing up on the diamond
and no trouble has been en-
countered in getting sufficient
players for two good mines each
evening. And some of the prac-
tice games played are good base
ball. Some new players have
been seen on the diamond that
are first-class, and from present
conditions, there is no reason
why Phoebe should not turn out
a winning team.
Baseball suits have been or
dered and every effort will be
made to have them here for the
Labor Day game. Captain Betz
and Manager Ellsworth are
working hard to stir up interest
in the first team and Captain
Denton of the second team, is
doing great work. He is getting
together an aggregation that
will make the first bunch go
some, and it would not surprise
us to see some of Captain Bills
team drafted before long; never,
theless, William is a good rustler
and is the right man in the right
place. Keep up the good work,
boys, and we will use our efforts
to get you the proper support.
