influence in the house, and is reported
to be very keen politician"
Does he want to be president"
Sir Henry asked. But almost before
he had time to receive an answer. he
suddenly leaned forward excitedly and
exclaimed abruptly: "Ah, there is
man l should like to study" And
for perhaps a quarter Of an hour.
Il cannot quite fathom that mans
intellect" he said at last; apparently,
he is lethargic, physically, yet Of won
derfully keen intellectual powers. But
what interests me In him is the fact
that his head is perfect copy, in
contour, of the head OF Shakespeare.
The similarity is marvellous. I have
never seen any other head SO closely
approach in its characteristics the
best bust that we have of Shakes
peare. Is he leader in this body?
He should be with such head. And
what is his name?"
He is one of the leaders in the
house; ne Is one of the most brilliant
men In public life today. and his name
is Thomas Bracket Reed" was the
answer.
Observation-Disclosures is the like
ness between his head and that of the
bust of Shakespeare" exclaimed Sir
Henry under his breath. And during
the rest of the hour that the great
English actor, who had proved himself
80 excellent reader of mems charac-
tiers, stayed in the house, his gaze
was constantly riveted on Thomas B.
Reed.

From the time, in August, 1875
when he became chairman OF the
monetary commission provided by
Joint resolution of congress to ex-
anime and report upon the question
Of bimetallism, until the silver issue
passed of the political stage, Jonn r.
Jones, Nevada member Of the United
States senate for 80 years, beginning
In 1873, was one Of the foremost
champions of bimetallism In this
country. His desertion of the Repuo-
lican party in 1896 on the silver Ques-
ton Ia historic.
About a year after the 1896 presi-
Dental campaign had been decided In
favor of William Mckinley and the
gold standard l met Senator Jones,
and in the course Of the conversation
said to him: 81 have heard it said.
Senator, that you have changed your
opinion respecting the use of silver
as a money metal, and l have been
wondering whether that report is
correct"
II will tell you about that as we
walk along" he said, and took my
arm. Il have not changed my opin-
ion respecting the expediency OF U.S.
ing silver as a money metal-at least,
the opinion I held when I advocated
bimetallism. But conditions have
changed lately, as they changed fol-
lowing the discovery of gold in Cali
fornia. Before that discovery. the sill
yer dollar was really the standard,
and the ratio between gold and sill
yer was strongly in favor OF
silver. Two factors have served to
bring about the present change. One
is the discovery of process by
which very low grade gold ore can
be profitably worked, and the other
is the vast development Of gold min
ing in South Africa and the United
States. These factors have served to
give us more of the gold than we had

How the Great Actor Watched the
Law Makers at Work and Guessed
Their Characters With Re-
markable Accuracy.

Sir Henry Irving first appeared on
the American stage in 1888 Not long
after his debut as Matthias, in "The
Bells" had the pleasure Of meeting
the great English actor-manager at a
little breakfast in Washington. Dur
ing the course of the meal he asked
II could take him into the house Of
representatives. then in session.
Il should like very much to make
study of the members of your house
of congress from seat in the galleries
where I will not be observed" he
went on to explain. Il have always
found great pleasure in studying the
faces and manners of men who are
prominent In public life when they
are not aware that any one in particu-
lar is studying them. Then, after
have made my studies, am glad to
be told their names, for it frequently
affords me great pleasure to learn
that my personal observations have
enabled me to read accurately the
characters of some of my unconscious
subjects"
That afternoon it was not dificult
to secure for Sir Henry Irving-then
plain Mr.. Henry Irving-a seat In the
visitors gallery where he would be
fairly safe from observation, and yet
could see everything that was taking
place on the floor of the house. AS
soon as he was seated he became in
tensely interested in the proceedings
upon the floor At first he scanned
the whole house, seeming to take it
In with one broad sweep of the eye.
Then his attention became fixed upon
one member and he sat silently OBJ
serving him for perhaps Ave minutes.
At last he spoke, in whisper. SO
as not to disturb our neighbors.
Il should say that that man is very
bright, very clipper person, with
considerable literary ability. / no.
tice that he has very observant eye.
I should think, however, that he is
more superficial than deep-that he
might write or speak attractively
without saying much. Have l judged

ested in gold mine near Sitka,
which, while it is not a very large
one, is rich in ore. But l will tell

true as that / am talking and walk
ing with you this minute. That mine.
sir, is significant of what is in store
for Alaska No experienced prospec-
tor could be found who would say
that a gold mine like this one near
Sitka is merely an isolated outcrop-
ping of gold. No, sir. It indicates
the presence of vast and rich de-
posits of gold somewhere, although
the outcroppings may not be found
within hundred or several hundred
miles of the mine"
up there, in the remote north
west" he said, I'VE are going to find
the mother lode of gold, whence flow
all the currents of gold that ran
southerly through the entire Rocky
mountain basin. l am perfectly con-
vinced of it. In my opinion, the
peninsula of Alaska some day, and
most probably in the very near fu-
ture, is to be revealed as one of the
richest gold bearing regions in the
entire world. l am now Of too ad-
vanced years personally to visit and
make explorations of that territory.
There are younger men who will at
tend to that-in fact, are doing this
work now I shall not be surprised
to hear any day of rich gold discov-
cries made by some Of them. Then
will follow gradual but certain ex-
ploration until, at last, the mother
lode is found. And because 1 believe
all this-because my miners training
tells me implicitly that this is 50 and
leads me to make to you this prophe-
cy of gold suppose it has been
said Of me that the little gold mine
in which l am interested has caused
me to change my views on bimetal-
lism."
It was only little more than a
year after my conversation with Sen
ator Jones that the world was star
tied with the first reports telling Of
wonderful discoveries of gold in the
Yukon district of Alaska Today.
Alaska is one of the worlds princi-
pal sources of the yellow metal And
the development of the territory Is
in its infancy.

Prof. Gaupp Says the Majority o
Cases Of Suicides Are Due to
Distraction.

Suicides In many cases leave notes
in which they protest their sanity;
nevertheless present day coroners'
juries are apt to remain true to the
time honored formula Suicide dur
ing temporary insanity" That view
is INDICATED by the Munich alienist
Professor Gaupp. who has completed
from official statistics work on sui
eide and its causes.
!; The writer holds that by far the
majority of cases are due either to
pronounced insanity, or to psyche
pathic degeneracy, all other causes
being relatively Insignificant. The
suicide rate shows a continued in
crease in all civilized countries with
the exception of Norway, where the
legal suppression of the drink traffic
is mainly responsible for the decrease.

HE was very shy, and modest almost

standing these qualities, he was a
man of great firmness when once he
was convinced that he was right in

well to misjudge his character in
this respect. The little story l am
going to relate to you is case In

when Mr. Vanderbilt succeeded
his father as directing authority Of
the New York Central system, init.
mate relations had been maintained
for years between the Vanderbilt fam.

dated back to the days Of the Commo-

vacancy In the board of directors OF

could have been more distasteful to

to protest against the selection OF the
man.
"Tt is my view he said, that In

the board Of directors? But 1t wasn't;

EAGER TO WORK.
Health Regained by Right Food.

The average healthy man or woman
is usually eager to be busy at some
useful task or employment.
But let dyspepsia or indigestion get
hold of one, and all endeavor becomes
burden.
"A year ago, after recovering from
an operation" writes a Michigan lady,
my stomach and nerves began to give
me much trouble.
AT times my appetite was vora-
cious, but when INDUCED, indigestion
followed. Other times had no appe-

nourish me and grew weaker than
ever.
Il lost interest in everything and
wanted to be alone. I had always had

About the greatest surprise of
Judge w. w. Marcum's life was
the big gathering at his home on
last Monday when his children and
grand children began assembling at
his residence on West Second
street. For a long time the Judge
was unable to guess the cause of so
many of his relatives visiting his
home on the same day; finally he
remembered that it was the sixty
sixth anniversary of his birth and
be then knew that he was TO be
honorel by surprise birthday par
ty. There were twenty-slx (chll-
dren, grand children and others }
present, and all partook of an ex
cellent dinner. Many useful and
handsome presents were left to re.
mind the Judge of the happy oc-
casion.
