The heroes who fought here did not propose to
submit until they had done their utmost to save
Greece from Macedonian Philip. The battle was
fercely contested especially by the Thebans,
who formed the right wing thrown out into the
plain, resting the Kephisos and facing west,
while the Athenians at the other end of the line
rested the hills, one of which appears just be-

London.-The Right Hon. Joseph
Chamberlain, for years the most COM
manding figure in British national and
international politics, died here at his
home in Princes Garden, s. w.
Chamberlain succumbed after pro-
tracted illness which for years de-
barred him from an active part in pub
lie affairs. Several months ago he an
nounced that he would not again stand
for reelection to Parliament, and for
several years, on account of his age
and feebleness, he seldom was seen on
the floor of the Commons. where his
tall form-and the ever-present mono
Gle in his eye-made him landmark.
Chamberlain was born in 1886 in the

years he held. politically, in the hollow

as "Brummagem Joe" and as the King

seven parliamentary seats of the great
manufacturing city are held by Cham
berlain nominees and a politician. he
opposed was simply wasting time when
he made the race for Parliament.
Chamberlain had huge commercial
interests throughout England and was
enormously wealthy.
Chamberlain was thrice married, his
last wife. who until his death nursed
him with rare solicitude, being Mary.
only daughter of Judge w. @. Endicott.
who was secretary Of war in the ad-
ministration of President Cleveland.
The dead statesman started political
life as a Radical. but left Gladstone's
party on the question of home rule for
Ireland, to which he was bitterly op-
posed. He held the highest posts in
conservative administrations and was
secretary to the colonies from 1895 to
1903.
While Chamberlain's greatest claim
to fame was his determined and brill
liant advocacy for years Of a protect
i've policy for Great Britain. the cita,
del of free trade, he will also be re-
remembered as the bitterest and most
forceful opponent of Gladstone in that
Ireland; as one of the founders of the
Liberal-Unionist party. and as the min
lister whose policy in South Africa in
volved his country in the greatest war
it had experienced since the Crimean
conflict, but blotted out the two Boer
republics and made South Africa "all
red"
1t is reported that King George Is
likely posthumously to honor Joseph
Chamberlain by comforting title on
his widow, formerly Mary Endicott,
daughter OF the late William c. Endi-
colt of Salem, Massachusetts,. Mr..
Chamberlain himself persistently re-
fused to accept any title.
The Dean Of Westminster offered to
the family interment in Westminster
Abbey for the dead statesman, but
his relatives decided to abide by his
wishes and have him buried at Birm-
ingham.
