BEAU FIELDING.
He Was the Enigma Of English soeiaI
Life In His Day.

Life IN his Day.
Beau Fielding was young man Of
fashion In the reign Of William III His
house was sumptuously furnished, his
hunters, hacks aud racers were Of
great value, and 'he kept table OF
princely hospitality" He had no os.
tcnsibe source OF income. All that was
known Of him was that he was the
fifth son Of Thomas Wilson, an impov-
erished gentleman Of Leicestershlre.
Evelyn describes him as a vary young
man, civil and good natured, but OF
no great force Of character aud very
sober and Of good fame" All attempts
to discover his secret were vain. in
bis most careless hours OF amusement
he kept a strict guard over his tongue
and left scandal to conjecture what It
pleased"
He redeemed his fathers estate and
portIoned of bis sisters and when re-
monstrated with on his extravagance
replied that, however long his life
should last, he would always have
enough to live in the same way. Some
said II was he who had robbed the
Holland mail, for which another man
had suffered; others that he depended
upon the gambling table, though he
never played for large sums. He was
the enigma Of social life TIL bis career
was cut short by a duel. His adversary
was at that time a young man about
town like himself, John Law, who
afterward became the founder Of the
famous Mississippi scheme by which
half OF France was ruined When the
mysterious Beau died he left only a
few pounds behind him and not a
scrap Of evidence to enliShten public
curiosity.

DU POINTS CASE DISCUSSED
BY PRESIDENTS CABINET

WASHINGTON, Sept. 25.-It is under
stood that the case of T. Coleman Du
Pont of Delaware, whose resignation
as the head of the speakers bureau of
the national Republican committee was
announced today was discussed at to-
days cabinet meeting. 1t is said that
the president wrote letter to Chair
man Hitchcock, suggesting that DQ
Points connection with the so-called
powder trust made him unsuitable for
official connection with the committee,
but Secretary Loeb tonight declined to
either affirm or deny the report, saying
that there was nothing to say on this
point.
Mr.. Du Pont is head of the company
sued in the courts by the department
of justice for violating the Sherman
antitrust law. 1t was expected that a
statement would be given out at the
White House today regarding the
charges of Governor Haskell of Okla
homa, concerning the franchise of the
Prairie Oil and Gas company, which
has figured conspicuously In recent
telegraphic correspondence, but after
the question had been considered at the
cabinet meeting 1t was decided to
withhold the statement pending the re-
ply of William ]. Bryan to the presi-
dents recent communication regarding
Governor Haskell.

QUITS HIS PRAYERS
TO STAB A MAN
Youth, After Dangerously Woundine
Opponent, Returns to Gospel Tent
and Resumes Supplications.
Confesses Later

DEXTER, Mo-, Sept. 25.--While the
Rev. E. G.. Butler knelt in prayer with
a score of converts ct a revival being
conducted in a gospel tent near here
last night John Horton, whom the
church people had considered "under
conviction" quietly left his seat in the
tent, went outside and probably fatally
stabbed Oscar Leathers. He then re-
turned and knelt with the congrega-
tion while the minister continued his
supplication.
Horton, who is country boy, ,19
years old, had quarreled with Leathers
earlier in the day and his friends say
was called out of the tent by Leath-
ers, who declared he wanted to apollo
gize for words spoken during the
quarrel. Horton says he acted in self
defense and stabbed Leathers after he
had been attacked. Long after the
prayer was finished Horton knelt be-
side his chair where church workers
found him weeping. Not until they
questioned him did they learn of the
stabbing that had taken place just
outside the circle of light shed by the
gasoline flares at the pulpit.
Horton denies that he had any per-
sonal difficulty with Leathers previous
to the affair last night. He says he
was with a crowd of boys walking
along country road, when Leathers
passed in buggy with a girl and
called to them to get out of the way
or he would ride over them. Several
boys in the crowd answered and Leath-
ers drove away, threatening to "get
his pals and return"
II thought nothing more of the in
cident until Leathers called me away
from prayer, saying he wanted to apol-
ogize for what he said yesterday morn
ing. I did not want to go at first, but
he begged and I consented. We had

entrance of the tent when he struck

thing. 1t did not knock me down.

SCOTCH COMEDIAN TO

Harry Lauder May Receive $4,000
Weekly, According to Reports

In America
Especial to The Herald,] ]

NEW YORK, Sept. 25.-Harry Lau-
der, the famous Scotch comedian, said
to be one of the foremost comedians
on the stage today, has recently signed
contract with theatrical men for an
American engagement, and his salary
is said to have been fixed at $4,000 a
week.
This has caused quite stir in theat-
rical circles, as the salary is a top
notch one for even the most famous
comedians.
1t has caused such a stir across the
water that the Scotchman's manager
has, according to cable reports, denied
the story that Lauder will receive $4,000
a week. The New York theatrical men
say this denial was prompted by feal
of the British income tax law.

the candidate and his assistant cam
paigners at Columbus Junction, Morn
ing Sun, Mediaopolis, Ottuinwa, where
the Rock Island road was again taken
to Mount Pleasant, Fairfield, Eddyville,
Pella, Monroe and Oskaloosa.
The additional stops resulted in the
loss of time and it was after o'clock
when the candidate delivered himself
up to the committees of Des Moines
for the five meetings he was billed
there for tonight. He was taken at
once to Plymouth church, where was
in progress a Womans' meeting, pre-
sided over by Mrs. w. F. Mitchell.
To the women Mr.. Taft had some
thing to say briefly about the Philip
pines, which he admitted was a subject
very near his heart. At the auditorium
Mr.. Taft talked on the tariff, covering
the same ground he did in Milwaukee
last night Governor Cummins and
Senator Dolliver also spoke at this
meeting. At the Foster opera house
and in meetings in East and West Fifth
streets Mr.. Taft's remarks were very
brief The Des Moines church meet
ing. where he addressed several thous-
and women. was the feature of the
evening here.
Talked to Women
Mr. Taft at once got the good will
Of his audience by saying with smile:
'I am a purely domesticated animal
and I understand the influence of the
feminine part of the home and there
fore I welcome the opportunity of talk
ing, not to voters, but to those who con-
troll the voters"
This compliment went home at once.
"In the first place." he continued, "I
want to put myself on record regard
ing a matter that is not an issue in
either platform, and that is that I am
in favor of women suffrage--when all
the women want it."
Mr.. Taft followed with a brief de-
scription of the Philippine problem.
The candidate was hustled to another
part of the city and spoke at an out
door meeting, then was whisked to the
auditorium, the largest hall In town,
and which was packed to the doors.
and where he spoke briefly on the tar
iff, prefacing his remarks with the
statement that the reported dissensions
in the Republican ranks in Iowa were
entirely Invisible to his observance. AS
this was brought out by the presence
of both Governor Cummins and Major
Lacey, the audience laughed and then
applauded.
Next Mr.. Taft went to the Foster
theater, where awaited him another
packed house and where Senator Dolli-
yer had been holding forth. The last
was another open-air meeting, after
which the candidate was given an au-
ton1obile ride and then driven to his
train, which will leave for more cam
paigning in the state tomorrow, the
direction to be taken to be toward st.

lows:
Sept, %, 1908
Hon. Frank H. Hitchcock, Chair
man Republican National Committee,
New York, City. New York:
my Dear Mr.. Hitchcock: Recently
I have noticed various criticisms of
my being the director of the speakers
bureau and member of the executive
committee on account of my return to
the e. 1. Du Pont de Nemours Powder
company, which is being sued by the
government.
The merits of that suit will he DEM
onstrated In due course of judicial pro-
cedure. I. have always been a loyal
supporter Of the Republican party, both
state and national, and I am not will
ing to be in any wise the means of
bringing odium on the party organiza-
ton, however unfounded may deem
such criticism to be. 1 therefore re-
spectfully tender my resignation as a
member of the executive committee
and as a director of the speakers bu-
reau, fully appreciating the great
courtesy which I have uniformly re-
ceived at the hands of yourself and my
other associates. Yours very truly.
