MAN OF STRANGE CHARACTER.
First Duke Of Marlborough Well Called
Human Enigma.

Herbert Paul, in his book on Queen
Anne Of England, paints a new pic.
ture Of the great duke Of Marlbor.
ough.
He was not truthful. He was not
straightforward. He was not honest
In his love Of money and his capacity
for boarding 1t he rivaled those
wretched misers who have done no
more than contemplate their gains.
And yet, such are the strange freaks
in which nature INDUCES. this mean
and selfish intreaguer was endowed
with perfect courage, with an irresist.
ible charm Of manner, with temper
which even his wife failed to dis.
turb, with a brain that no sophistry
could obscure. and with military 90.
MUS before which criticism is humbly
silent.
He was treacherous even in q
treacherous age. Wholly devoid Of
cruelty, and by nature humane, he is
said never to have sacrificed an un.
necessary life. He used his fellow.
creatures for his own purposes. and
when he had no further use for them
he forgot their existence. He made
his plans and carried them out with
the absolute efficiency Of sheer intel.
ligence and the serene implacabiliH Of
impersonal fate.

An oId.Tlme Playful Prisoner.

The centenary has been noted re-
Gently in London of what the Annual
Register called "a most unparalleled
atrocity." It was only the theft OF 3
pocket handkerchief from q pocket:
but the circumstances Of the deed ex-
plain the vehemence Of this denuncia,
ton. Four men were on their trial
for aasaulting man In his house at
Ponder's End, putting him in fear and
stealing from him: and one Of them
relieved the tedium Of the trial, which
lasted eight hours, by picking the
pocket Of one Of the turkeys 40 he
stood in the dock. An official had the
presence Of mind to order the restora-
ton Of the handkerchief, and the pris.
oner obeyed, with the most careless
indifference" but the court, We read,
were horror-struek." Justice, hsH.
eyeE pulled itseK together sufficiently
to sentence all four men to death.

- Gas AND It's CENTENARY,
llIumlnant Was First Looked Upon
with Much Alarm.

Gas, as a practical illuminant pass
ed its century mark on January 2S.
On that day In 1907 there wasin Lon
don "a new and singular spectacle"
according to the account Of visitor,
"the whole range Of Pail Mall, from
st. James to Cockspur street, was
lighted up by means Of lamps fed with
gas instead Of cotton and oil, and Ger.
tainly in style Of much superior
brilllancy. This was the first instance
Of street lighting by coal gas in Lon
don, or In any other city. The merit
Of the enterprise is due to Winsor, q
German company-promoting expert,
who was especially interested in tho
question Of economic fuel. His pamph.
let's, however, contained so much ex'
travagant fanaticism and Quackery
that they retarded rather than fur
thered his schemes, which met with
an extraordinary amount Of opposi-
ton, even from enlightened people.
Sir Walter Scott wrote that there
was a mailman proposing 10 light Lon
don with smoke. Awful consequences
were predicted. The gas would pol
son the air and blow up the inhabit-
ants; 1t was explosive, dangerous. Of.
fenslve and manageable; the pipes
conveying 1t would be hot and apt to
produce CONGREGATIONS. The lamplight.
ers to a man opposed the new mode Of
street lighting, and 1t IL curious to no
tice the great hesitation as to its pos
sibtlity expressed in contemporary
scientific and popular literature.
When chartered company was at
length formed in 1910, the sharehold.
ers were pitied as idiots; and David
Pollock, for 80 years its governor, re-
cei~ed some extraordinary answers in
doegerel rhyme from otherwise sober
ana staid individuals whom he had
asked to take shares.

RATES UP OR WAGES DOWN
Is the Proposition Submitted to the
Public by the Railroads Of the
Northern Central States

Chicago, June 13.-Railroad COM
n.issioners of Illinois, Indiana Wis
consin, Michigan, and Ohio, and pub
lie service commissioners of New York
are in Chicago to take part in an In
terState rate conference. Present ad-
verse conditions affecting railroads as
all incident of the financial depression
led to the calling of the conference.
1t is expected that the results of the
conference will be far reaching. I'm
usual conditions with which the rail-
roads are confronted have caused rail-
road commissioners to think seriously
about whether or not their present
policy in matters pertaining TO rail-
way regulation is to the interest of all
concerned. This subject will be dis
cIssed thoroughly at the conference,
and recommendations may be made
which will have an important bearing
OF the railroad situation.
Calm and deliberate reason is to be
relied on by the railroads to break
down the organized opposition of ship
pers to the proposed advance in rail-
road rates, and the roads will submit
the question to the arbitration Of
either President Roosevelt or the In
terState Commerce Commission, &C
cCrding to w. G. Brown, senior vice
president of tht New York Central
lines.
There are but two ways of settling
the difficulty" said Mr.. Brown. I'VE
must either advance rates or cut down
wages. The railroads have been corr
PEELED TO increase their expenses enor-
mously at time when their earnings
did not jurtify it, and unless they are
allowed to increase their earnings by
advancing rates. nothing remains 10
be done but to reduce wages"
Not all of the railroad commission
crs accept the statement, however, be-
lieving that another alternative is Of
fered by the reduction of dividends
and squeezing the surplus water out of
railroad stocks. 1t is likely that the
mere conservative counsel will prevail
al the conference, and that no radical
recommendations affecting the pros
perity of the railroads will be made.

KILLED BY KEROSENE
A Tampa Woman While Pouring Oil
on Smoulderins Fire, Sustained
Fatal Injuries
(Tampa Times, 12th.)

IncautiouS use of kerosene oil this
morning will probably cause Mrs. Ma
RE Cook to forfeit her life, and If she
Is so fortunate as to recover, 1t is
likely that the shocking burns she re-
carry through life.
Mrs. Cook, who is the wife of Mo-
torman E. L. Cook, of the Tampa and
Sulphur Springs Company, was doing
her weekly ironing this morning. She
had fire in a charcoal furnace in the
yard at the rear of their residence,
107 East Palmetto avenue. The fire
had burned low, and Mrs. Cook de-
cided she would pour a little kero-
sene on it. She picked up a gallon can
full Of oil, and poured some into the
receptacle. An explosion followed in
stantly, and she was covered with
burning oil. Hearing her screams,
Mrs. Cooks mother ran to her assist
ance and poured two buckets of water
on her, flaming clothes. This ex-
tinguished the flames on her body, but
her hair was still burning. She then
Sc lied a dressing sacque and wrapped
that around the unfortunate woman S
head, extinguishing the last of the
flames. With the help of Mrs. San
chez, who lives next door, the unfoc-
tunate woman was taken into the
house and put to bed. Four physi-
clans, DR.. L. S. Oppenheimer, Dr. D.
F.. Saxton, DR.. VIM. Seitz and DR.. ]
G. Vinson, were called, and they work
ed to relieve the pain.
The skin peeled from the victims
bands, arms and face much of the
hair was burned off and her body is
a mass of burns. The doctors agree
that her condition is very serious.
The unfortunate lady instinctively
closed her eyes when the explosion
came, and this saved her eyesight.
The force of the explosion tore the
stout oil can apart and literally turn
ell it inside out.

PREDICTING GAINS
FOR PROHIBITION

Milwaukee, Wis, June 12.-Predict-
ing great gains in the South, with
possible victory in all Southern prohi-
bition state, State Chairman Alonzd
Wilson of Illinois told the Wisconsin,
State Prohibition Convention here
yesterday that the foundation of his
expectation was the alleged opposition
of William ]. Bryan to prohibition.
In $780," said Mr.. Wilson, Mr..
Bryan stumped Nebraska against a.
prohibition amendment to the Nebras-
KID constitution. / have also in my
possession a copy of a letter from Mr.
Fryan to Southern men who desire a
plank for prohibition in the Democrats
ic national platform. In this letter
Mr.. Bryan declares IL his wishes are
followed there will be no such plank
in the platform. AS Mr.. Bryan is in
control of the Democratic party. his
platform desires will undoubtedly con-
troll in the Democratic National Con-
ventiOn, and therefore no prohibition
cal. be expected from that conyen-
ton"
Mr.! Wilson said this was the expec-
tation of the Southern delegates who
had been looking into the subject. He
said he was to leave for the South
soon to confer with leading prohibit
ton Democrats about their support
for the Prohibition party If no prohi-
bition plank is inserted I'm the Denver
platform.

Standing of the Clubs
SOON THEY'LL BE SEEN
ON OCALA'S STREETS

Los Angeles, Cal, June 13.-Miss
Dorothy Graham, a Los Angeles girl,
set the city in turmoil yesterday by
appearing on the street in one of the
new directoire gowns. The skirt fitted
tightly and was open to the knee. Mrs.
James M. Beatty, member of the
Highland Park Woman's Club, asked
the police to arrest Miss Graham. The
matter was Immediately referred to
Prosecuting Attorney Guy Eddy, who
told the clubwoman that the law al
lows great latitude in the way of
fe minnie apparel. A woman may now
appear on the street wearing a bath
ing suit or even a decollete evening
gown. To many, the directoire gown
is not so bad as the evening dress, and
it is certainly far less, Objectionable
than the bathing suit

THE DALAI LAMA IN EXILE
He is Proving a Costly Guest for the
Chinese Government

Frankfort, June IA strange light
is thrown on the present position of
the Dalai Lama of Tibet by dispatches
published here from Shanghai.
1t will be remembered that the Dalai
Lama fled into China on the appear
ance of the British expedition under
Colonel Younghusband, and he has re-
ma ined in a position not a little pa
thetic, and at the same time some
what ridiculous.
The Chinese government is anxious
for him to return to Tibet, as his keep
is extremely costly, and now falls, of
course, upon the Chinese eXchequer.
His suite consists of about 400 per-
sons, with whom are 800 horses and
geo camels, and all have to be fed and
cared for by the Chinese authorities.
The Dalai Lama, however, is not at
all anxious to return to Tibet, fearing
apparently, that his authority has suf
fored as a result of his flight. At any
rate. he is delaying his return as long
as possible.

track and locked the chain with a
paddock. Then he stood guard until
