FAMOUS OLD HOUSE
Crosby Hall Fine Example Of
18th Century Architecture.
Anticipated Building In London Where
Shakespeare, Queen Elizabeth and
Other Distinguished Persons
Were Entertained.

London.-One of the most interest.
ing houses in London, renowned for
its historic associations, is Crosby
Han, in Bishopsgate. It has the dis
tinction of being not only the home
of great men and the scene where
kings and queens, ambassadors and
mobiles disported, but also of being
the most beautiful specimen Of If
teenth century domestic architecture
in London. Shakespeare dined at its
festive board and mentions 1t in his
play of Richard III.
Crosby Hall was erected by Sir
John Crosby, who was an alderman of
London in 1853. 1t was the highest
building In the city and its great
hall, the scene Of many historic
events, was 81 feet long, 27 feet
broad and 40 feet high. The Duke
of Gloucester, afterwards King Rich
ard Ill. who was the last Plantagenet
king of England and who fell fight
ing for his crown and life on bloody
Bosworth field, lived In 1t at one time
and there concocted his plans for the
murder of his nephew, Edward ",
and the seizure of the throne. Other
royal murders are laid at his door.
For many years Sir Thomas More,
Englands great chancellor, and the
author of the ever-famous Utopia,
dwelt In peace and dignity within the
great mansion. 1t was from Crosby
Hall that he was sent to the Tower,
preparatory to his farcical trial at

In Whose service?

In spite Of the extraordinary non
partisan expression at the polls In No
vamber, the note most frequently
sounded at Washington Is that Of par.
tisanship. No one party was instruct.
ed at the ballot boxes. If there ever
was popular mandate extending to
all parties and to all political leaders,
that was one.
Throughout the west It was Rephb
licans who were admonished. In mos
cases also they were pledged. At the
east and everywhere in the south an
southwest, Democrats were taken
their word. Representatives of both
parties have had, either in their own
experience or in that of others In their
immediate neighborhoods, evidences
OF the popular will that cannot be mis-.
understood.

Queer Laws.

Berne, switzerland.-Ther are in
force In Switzerland certain laws
which, in the hands of the unscrup-
ulous, may work great havoc with
personal rights and liberties. This
is point concerning which there can
be no dispute. For instance, in most
cantons men and women may be pun
ished not only for What they have
actually done in the past, but also for
what may possibly result In the fu-
ture from what they have done. Sup
pose man Is spending week by week
all that he earns. Then the local au-
thorittes, acting in conjunction with
the police, may send him to penal
workhouse, on the pretext that his
conduct is such that he may later be-
come destitute, and therefore a bur
den on the community.

GOT HIS soBRIQUET EARLY
aHonest John" Kelly Proved His Right
to the Title Long Before
Manhood.

There have been many stories about
the manner in which Honest John"
Kelly, the ex-umpire, first got his nick
name. Mr.. Kelly himself, according
to New York letter, holds that it
came to him naturally, for even as a
small boy the purity of his soul shone
through his face. 81 think the first
time / was ever called Honest John
was when / was quite youngster,"
said Kelly. "a man engaged as an
ambulatory salesman of tinware OBJ
served the ingenious countenance l
presented to the world and hailed me.
You look honest, boy said he. What
might your name be?' john said l.,
quite simply. John,-just like that.
Then hold my horse while ! go in
the saloon and get drink, said he.
And so held his horse while he went
in the saloon and got drink. But
this was on lower Ninth avenue, In a
day when the avenues honors went
to the man who could clean the most
cops in given time. By and by the
gang came along and beheld that
wagon full of tinware. The peddler
was detained within by sore thirst,
and they took the tinware. And then
they came back and took the cush-
ions off the wagon Eventually, be-
coming daring, they unhitched the
wagon and took it away. True to my
trust, l stood there, holding the horse
And by and by the peddler came out
of the saloon and sized up the situa
tion. Well said he warmly, you're
Honest John, all right. You saved the

WILL BLOCK REFORM
REPUBLICAN sTANDPATTERs
HAVE SHREWD SCHEME.
Plan to Grant Presidents Request for
Tariff Commission Knowing
Democrats Will Disagree With
Conclusions Arrived At.

One gets the impression from the
Washington dispatches that the stand
patters have concluded that in no way
can they carry out their do-nothing
policy more effectively than by gran
ting the presidents wish for tariff
commission. Indeed, so effective Is
this method that 1t will probably help
their do-nothingness to live after
some Of their most aggressive leaders
who will retire from public life on
the 4th of next March. For after
that date the Democrats, of course,
will be in control of the house, and
they have already declared that they
wNl pay no attention whatever to
such a commission. On the con-
trary, they propose to begin imme-
.diately to gather the information
which will form the basis of their
tarifr-for-revenue only bill, and they
expect to be prepared on the conven-
ing of the Sixty-second congress to
put through such bill with prompt
ness, and then throw the RESPONSE
bility for further action on the Re-
publican senate and the president.
Assuming, however, that the tariff
commission is created, as the presi.
dent desires, it is entirely probable
that at the time the Democrats are
considering their tariff bill, the COM
mission will report the result of its
Investigation to the president and
that the president will transmit 1t to
congress- That this will disagree
with the Democratic conclusions in
many respects may reasonably be
taken for granted. The basis of the
recommendations, Of course, will be
rates covering the difference between
the cost of production at home and
abroad, regardless Of revenue, while
he Democratic schedules will be
made with a view to revenue and re-
gardless of protection, If they carry
out their present program.
This difference can, and doubtless
will, be regarded as justifying the
senate In refusing to concur in the
schedules fixed by the Democrats, in
face of the fact that the country at
the last election emphatically de-
manded a lower tariff All the senate
wants-and. indeed, what 1t must
have, from the standpat point Of view
is an excuse for such action, and It
looks at It the standpatters we're 60
ing to provide 1t. Whether 1t will
prove a convincing excuse may be
doubted. II 1t does, 1t will be good
politics" If 1t does not-well, the
standpatters will be no worse of
than they we're, and their friends will
be better off, for the tariff will then
probably remain as 1t is for another
two years, at least-and that appears
to be the most important result, as
the standpatters see the situation
The effect on the party and on the
elections Of 1912 may be unfortunate
but as a considerable number Of In
.fiuential Republicans appear to have
come to regard the party merely as 9
means of maintaining a high tariff
they will probably regard this as Q
secondary matter. Unless the party
