Sunday, former baseball player,
Wednesday made a public apology to
Madame Schumann-Heink, so now
the we'll known singer; and the evan

The trouble was caused by Mr..
Sundays sermon on "Mothers,' when
he declared that "Melba, Calve,
Eames and Schumann-Henk are
cheap skates compared with moth
ers.''
This called for the reply from Nine.
Schumann-Heink:
F'This evangelist, he calls himself,
breaches religion, but did Christ hurt
and malign people to exalt His repu-
tation?" :-,. 80.

"They're not going to corner me into

LAST MINSTREL APPEAL GIVEN
# Rehearsal Fails Tonight Matter
May Be Dropped Entirely. H. :

Six young men appeared for min
strel practice at the armory last
night and because of the lacking Of
numbers the rehearsal was postponed
until tonight at 1880. If sufficient
numbers do not appear tonight it is
possible that the show will be
dropped as the support given those
in charge is not sufficient to make a
success. One more appeal is now
made to the auto owners and the
young men of the city to come to the
armory tonight and help make this
show success. n, s5ase ~. -. st.t

RANKS AMONG BEST LAWYERS
Illinois Legislature Sent Him to the
Senate to Succeed Cullom for
Long Term.
By Congressman Clyde H. Tavenner

By Congressman Clyde H. Tavenner.
Washington. May 23.-Now that
the newspaper humorists have COM
pleted their picture of James Hamil-
ton Lewis-"Jim Ham, as they call
him-.-the new senator from Illinois,
l would like to sketch another por-
trait of him--the true one.
The newspapers have sufficiently
emphasized his physical peculiarities
the slim, dapper stature of the
man, his red beard, his matched
rings, cuff links and scarf pins, his
punctilous slection Of hats, ties,
vests and socks.
To balance that picture l would
paint another---the picture Of a lone
~ boy thrown early upon his own
resources, Of a struggle to overcome
handicaps such as few successful men
ever met Of surprising ability which
quickly brought it's possessor to fame
and position in the world, and final
for the poor and oppressed, a SYM.
patty carried by Senator Jim Ham
on his struggle upward from the
bottom.
He found that poverty would keep
him from a complete schooling. So
like other ambitious boys had done,
he struck westward, and at the age
of 10 found himself alone in Seattle,
penniless, with a keen appetite and
the immediate necessity of finding a
job so that he might eat.
The first work that presented itself
was job rolling barrels and should
ering bags on the Seattle docks, and
young Lewis took it.
He Joined the union and worked at
his trade many months. Evenings
and odd hours he studied law. His
naturally brilliant mind served him
we'll then. In brief time he passed
the bar examinations AS a lawyer
his reputation grew rapidly, until at
the age of % his fellow citizens sent
him to the territorial senate.
This was his first real step upward.
So he set about it to create person.
ality for himself He adopted the
eccentricities of beard and dress that
have since made him famous.
He was highly successful. Wash
ington sent him to congress as repre-
sentative-at-large when he was 27
years old He foresaW that the Dem
ocratic party in Washington was dis
migrating And so at the age of
SO he moved to Chicago. In five years
he had established himself as one of
the greatest trial lawyers in Illinois,
and in ten years, when he was 46
years old, his adopted state sent him
to the United States senate as the
popular choice in the senatorial prim-
AIRY.
