~ RUSSELS. Oct 13.-This years
~ celebration of the seventy-eighth
, anniversary of the GLORIOUS days
OF September when the Bel
gians threw off the yoke of William
of Orange by driving the Dutch SOL
diers out of Brussels, which has Just
taken place, was attended by only two
of the three surviving volunteers. The
survivors are Mespelon. who is 81
Dcmoulin, who Is 9S, and Hespeel, who
| owns to the. comparatively youthful
age of 80. Mespelon is so inflrm that
he could not leave his home but the
others drove to the Place ties Martyrs
to receive the manage Of the crowds.
or late years death has made great
ravages in the ranks OF these aged
pensioners of the government. AT the
celebration in 1906 10 bent figures an
swered to the roll call and SO intirm
did the two who appeared this year
appear that it is doubtful If any future
celebration of stirring happenings OF
1890 will be graced by their presence.
SO far as the records go they show
that there were several hundred volun-
teers for the job of BUSTING the soldiers
of the Dutch ruler and all except the
three who still remain alive have had
their names engraved upon the MEM
orial stones beneath the Place das Mar
tyrs where the bulk of the fighting
took place.
HoNoRs FOR SURVIVORS.
As has been the custom for some
years past Hespeel and Demoulin were
this year conveyed from their homes
to the place where procession was
formed by the Society of ex-Off1cers OF
the Belgian Army which organizes the
annual proceedings. Thence they We're

and the records OF the Danish law
courts contain sufficient particulars OF
several exceptionally bad cases, which
show how immoral he was in his deal

these actions Alberti .contrived to keep
out of prison, although there were
cases in which he had to pay his vic
titus large sums of money In order to
appease them and to prevent them
from bringing about his indictment for
gcaver offenses.
ROBBED THE MASSES.
After II or 10 years of excessive
dissipation Alberti wound up this first
period of his criminal career in order
to devote himself TO the systematic
plumber of the masses of the Danish
population. In the,coursc of his social
experiences he had rubbed off the raw
edges of the country youth, and had
acquired delightful tone of good
comradeship and free and easy amia-
bility which facilitated his intercourse
with all classes of the community. His
father had established the iceland
Peasants Savings bank, and Peter A.
Alberti undertook the management OF
this institution at the age Of 35 and
followed UP his introduction into bust
ness life in 1855 by establishing the
ICELAND Fire Insurance company. This
was intended to popularize fire insui.-
ance olnong the poorer classes of Dem
mark who had hitherto held aloof
from insurance: companies, which they
regarded with a certain amount of
suspicion. Two years later he found

Denmark, and a the age of ,7fhe was
elected a member of the Danish parli-
anlent for the district of ikoege, which

Radical party, and proved to be an
orator who was able to sWayhis audi

I Washington, Sept. 1o.--The politi-
cal, pot during the past week has been
boiling with fierceness that fully
satisfied the most ardent campaigner.
Events have been moving with exceed
ing rapidity during the past six days,
and the situation has been changing
every day. Sensation followed SEN
sation SO rapidly that'at the end of
the week spectator OF events is left
gasping and breathless, wondering
what is coming next.
OF course, Mr.. Hearst's attack on
Senator Foraker, showing that the
Ohio senator had received 800, 800 in
fees as counsel for the Standard Oil
Company in OHIO while senator from
that state, was the most sensational
of the political events of the week.
Scarcely less startling were charges
by Mr.. Hearst, admitted true by Mr..
Foraker, that the Ohio senator in>1902
was the holder of draft OF $4,000
from the Standard Oil Company.

IT is most remarkable thing
that the Democrat campaign
book just issued, contains no crit,
icism, or censure whatever of
Mr.. Roosevelt or Mr.. Roosevelt's
administration. This is one of
the peculiarities of politics, A
still more remarkable fact is that
this was purposely done and at
the instignation Of Mr.. Bryan
himself. But when one looks at
The logic Of the situation, it will
readily be seen that Mr.. Bryan
could not have done otherwise.
All of the policies that Mr.. Roose.
welt has achieved popularity in
promoting, were taken bodily
from Democratic Platforms and
Mr.. Bryan's speeches. There is
rot a single one that is advocated
by Mr.. Roosevelt of any impor-
lance but what was taken from
Mr.. Bryan's teachings. Wash

There is a story Of German bar
on who made great Aeolian harp
by stretching wires from tower to
tower Of his castle. When the harp
was ready, he listened for the music.
But it was in the still air; the wires
hung silent. Autumn came, with its
gentle breezes, and there were faint
whispers Of song. At length the win
ter winds swept over the castle, and
now the harp answered in majestic
music.
Such harp is the human heart. It
does not yield its noblest music in the
summer days Of JOY, but in the winter
Of trial. The sweetest songs on earth
have been sung in sorrow. The richest
things in character have been reached
through pain. Even Of Jesus we read
that he was made perfect through suf-
fering.

From her point of view, of course,
