eULodY OF GLADSTONE.
Ambassador Bryoe's Tribute to States
man on Centenary of His Birth.

Ambassador Bryce's Tribute to States
man on Centenary of His Birth.
Here are some guides to greatness
as chosen from -the life Of William
Ewart Gladstone by james Bryce,
British ambassador at Washington,
who recently spoke at Carnegie hall,
in New York, under the auspices Of the
Civic forum at the celebration of the
one hundredth anniversary of the birth
Of the British statesman.
According to Mr.. Bryce, who was all
intimate friend of Mr.. Gladstone, these
were the characteristics which made
him great:
His oratory, by which he first won
fame and maintained his ascendency.
His great lighting force, which was
aroused to the greatest effectiveness
when under formidable attack. 81
His capacity for grasping the whole
Of subject, which made him a great
minister of finance.
His caution, his strong sense Of per-
sonal duty and responsibility Of office.
His intellectual curiosity, which
showed itself in the incessant reading
of poetry, theology, political economy
and history.
His force Of character, tenacity,
strenuous will, untiring energy, rested
only by change of labor.
His self restraint. He was never
rude or acrimonious.
His modesty, never speaking Of him
self, but always wholly occupied men,
tally in the subject under discussion.
His faithfulness to his followers,
never breaking the confidence Of a
friend
Gladstone held in high reverence
the liberty of this American republic"
| added Mr.. Bryce His admiration for
George Washington was boundless.
| He placed Washington, in respect OF
his fidelity to freedom, far above
Oliver Cromwell.
HE was much blamed for having
consented as prime minister to- the
arbitration Of the Alabama claims, but
everybody now recognizes this was an
act of the highest wisdom, for 1t re
moved cause Of quarrel between
Britain and Canada on the one side
and the United States on the other
and laid the foundation Of that friend
ship which now happily exists and
which he so much 'rejotced to see
growing during his later years.
Although he never actually took
sides during the civiFwar Of 1865, he
did once or twice use language which
gave that impression. and he admitted
frankly afterward that he had not
properly understood the real issues In
volved. Such ignorance was common
among the upper classes Of England
who were then very i'll Informed about
American affairs"

Distinguished PreIate First Apostolic
Delegate to the United States.
Cardinal Satolh. the distinguished
preiate Of the Roman Catholic church.
was born in Marsciano, archdiocese of
Perugia, July Il, 1889. His family
was noble one of very ancient line
age.
His success In difficult research first
won for him the regard of his great
friend, the late Pope Leo.
Completing his studies, Satolli was
assigned to the faculty Of the College
of the Propaganda and in an unusually
short time became professor Of theolo-
gy and philosophy. The work Of teach
ing and the opportunity for study and
research appealed strongly to Satolli
and If he had been guided alone by his
own inclinations he would have pre-
ferred to remain teacher. but the
church had need of him outside Of the
class room, and after few years he
was made archbishop Of Lepanto and
then sent to America by Pope Leo
XIII. to represent the Vatican at the
Columbia exposition.
He remained as the first apostolic
delegate to the United States. The
clerical work connected with the ad-
ministration OF the church In America
had heretofore been in charge Of the
propaganda. which has superintendent
Of ali missionary countries. When the
Na& STa a wy nj
is Of size to warrant the change the
propaganda hands over its powers and
duties to that body itself. If the pope
has treaty relations with the particular
country, as in France, a nuncio from
Rome resides at the capital, but~where
no treaty relations exist, as In the
United States. the pontif is represent
ed by a delegation, such as Mgr. Sa-
TOLL established at Washington.
| Just before coming to Washington
Archbishop Satolh had been made
president Of the Academy Of Noble
Ecclesiastics. one OF the greatest posi-
| lions In the ecclesiastical world OF
| Italy and of the Roman Catholic
church. On the heels of this great
| honor came the appointment OF Satolii
| as apostolic delegate to the United
States. and only a comparatively short
| time after this came the news that Sa
! TOLL was to be made a cardinal.
He was duly created and proclaimed
cardinal Nov. %. 1895. taking title
1 from st. Maria In Aracoel. After the
/ red hat had been conferred upon hin
/ Cardinal Satolli became project Of the
Sacred College Of Studies and member
of the Congregation of the Propa
ganda, Oriental Rites and Index.
Among all the offices held by Cardi
nal Satolli in his long ecclesiastical
career the one he recalls with the
greatest satisfaction is that of apos
tolic delegate at washington. A titlt
/ not conferred on him by the church
! but one which is said to please hin
i very much. is that of the American

him because Of his intense and sincere

REMINGTON fHE ARTIST.
Story of Himself Told by Famous De-
lireator of Western Life.


Frederic Remington, the artist,
writer and sculptor, who died at his
home in Ridgefeld. Conn, the other
day. used TO tell his friends that he
wanted his epitaph to be He Knew
the Horse" One admirer wrote of
him, He knows horse from the
prick of his ears to the frogs of his
feet" Another wrote, He knows ev-
cry hair on pony, and you need only
to put Remington the writer and Rem
ington the artist together to make
the greatest pony that ever galloped
up and down the pages of book with
cowboy on his back"
Remington, who wrote the history
of the great west-wrote it In it's raw
coloring-was born in Canton, N. Y,
Oct. 4, 1861. His first start in life aft
er receiving common school educa-
ton was as clerk in an express Office.
Hearing many stories of the far west,
he earned and saved his money and
soon was on ranch, taking his turn
as cowboy in rounding up the cattle.
Indians were menace to life as well
as property, and Remington made a
study of their habits. In addition to
many hours passed in the saddle, he
found time to perfect himself in draw
ing and painting, a course of which
he had taken In the Yale Art school
and Art Students league, and pictured
the redskins as they lived. He first

took up painting. He also was inter
ested in military and treated Of scenes
| Of the Spanish-American war.
Remington once told story Of him
self that will bear retelling One of
his cowboy acquaintances in the west
was known as "Hollering Smith" be-
cause of his favorite way of enjoying
himself Remington made number
i Of studies Of him both In repose and
at his favorite pursuit, and on return
| ing to New York one time he utilized
| these in a series Of illustrations In 8
| magazine article. The next time he
| went west and got to Smiths neigh
borhood Smith came over to see him
on the very day Of his arrival and
hauling from his pocket a page torn
from magazine with one of Rem,
/ ington's studies of him as the central
figure Of a group in state of erup-
ton, inquired. "Say, is that me?"
Fred was cautious. as he said, moi
being exactly sure of what was mex
on the program. and replied, ''Well,
got the idea from you, of course
! but
"Oh, it's all right" said Sn1ith-'nt
offense. If it's me. just say so.''
"Wen, yes; it's fairly close portrai
of you" said Remington.
'1That's what the boys at the rancl
said," Smith came back. Il look like
that when / boiler, do I?''
II think you do"
"Well," said Smith, tucking the pag'
away in his pocket, "if that's the stat
of the case then all I've got to say d

In Sentiment In Twenty Years.
WI Ting Fang, the former Chinese
minister, who was interviewed at New
York few days before he sailed for
China, spoke on the question Of rail-
road building in China and impaired
some startling facts.
"OLina for the Chinese" is, accord
ing to Mr.. WI, the motto Of the Chi
nese so far as railroads In their coun-
try are concerned, and the fault, he
says, lies with Americans. To make
this clear be gave a brief history Of
Chinese railroads.
IL Hung Chane's Strategy.
Twenty years ago." he said, ia
Hung Chang, whose legal adviser and
secretary was, was the only Chinese
statesman who favored the building of
railroads In China. He knew that It
was useless to try to persuade the Chi
nese by argument Of the ACCESSIBILITY
OF having railroads, but he felt that II
they could once see railroad In oper-
alton they would want them all over
the empire, where travelling Ia 90 Diff
cult that many persons live and die
without stirring from their native VII
lages. Ii Hung Chang dared not ask
/ the imperial sanction for building the
1 first railroad.
HE got around the difficulty by hav-
ing me construct a road from mine
to the bank Of a river that passed
through no towns OF villages even, 90
that no sanction was necessary. This
road was ten miles long. People flock
| ed to see 1t and were so favorably i'm
pressed that when Ii Hung Chang
asked the emperor's permission to ex.
tend the road to the city of Tientsin II
was granted. All opposition to the rail-.
road among the Chinese died out.
Network of Roads Soon.
'The Chinese now are so strongly In
favor OF railroads that In few years
the whole country will be covered by
a network of them, but they want to
do 1t themselves AS they. have nei.
Their the money nor the experience the
work is progressing much more slow.

"Now, am as loyal and patriotic az
