CHAPTER in.-COXTIJOJED.
A mob Instantly filled the street be
fore the 'building anil a scene of In
describable tumult and excitement en
sued. Policemen came running, ambu
lances were rung for, rumors tlew
about that many were crushed In the
cellar. In the midst of It all, a clear
calm voice, above the heads of the surg
ing, vociferous crowd, called, "Out of
t-he way, please," and looking up they
crv Just over them John Burroughs,
who had slid down a dangling rope,
with one coil of It as a brake on his
leg, as a 'trapeze performer descends In
a circus. They made way for him, and
lie, alighting, pushed' through to the
superintendent and reported placidly:
"It is number 297 D. that Is wanted."
IV.
Wflien John Burroughs realised that
he was, temporarily at least, a poor
man. he resolved to learn something
practical, by which he could not only
support himself with a feeling of inde
dependence, but even rise In the world
through his own exertions. He had a
good college education, but that was
worth little In the battle of life, ex
cept aa mental training for learning
Vhlngs of real use. The "learned pro
fessions" refuges for the lazy nnd in
competent genteel did not tempt him;
he had1 neither liking nor capital for
mercantile speculation. A "trade" pre
sented Itself to his mind as the desir
able thing, some good sort of honest
Constance.
skilled labor productive to something
useful to humanity and likely to be in
permanent demand. And of all the
trades that even the census-takers
have found out. none suited him so
well as Iron-working, particularly that
branch of It now so Important in our
large cities, the construction of build
ings. To this he resolved, to devote
himself.
Believing In . "knowing from the
ground tip" .anything1 he sought to
learn, he. commenced his new career ns
a day laborer in the foundry of the
great "Vulcan "Works,", wheeling sand
and clenning castings. At the same
time, with an eye to some day becom
ing an employer, he deemed this an
opportune time for acquiring thorough
knowledge of the class of tollers among
whom he had cast his lot. and to this
end went to live in a mechanics' boarding-house.
Men could not expect
much of the comforts of life for 15 per
week, the rate paid there, but would
have been Justitled in disappointment
at what was actually afforJed In that
establishment. Its only abundances
were dirt and foul air.
"Within a fortnight, his quick observa
tion and alert Intelligence made him a
valuable "helper," and In a little time
more he had so far mastered the details
of Iron-founding, as practiced In that
foundry, that though still only ranking
and paid as a laborer, he was really
doing the -work of a skilled moulder. He
had been at this a couple of months,
when one day he electrified the fore
man by calling his intention to the in
ferior quality of a new lot of "pigs," the
first melting from which had Just been
made. Clearly and with technical ac
curacy he stated the defective chemical
composition of the Iron, by reason of
which castings made . from it .would
fall at -least ten 'per cent, below the min
imum of strength they should possess.
Not another among the thirty mould
ers of the foundry, all supposably
skillful men, had, or could have, made
he discovery, the corectness of which
readily proved. When asked how he, a
laiborer, came to know so much about
Iron, he modestly replied that he had
ptcked up a little about It in college."
That incident gave htm a new stand
ing, for not only the foreman but his
em ployers to whom it was duly re
portedwere grate ul and appreciative.
Learning that he wished to gain knowl
edge of the iron business in all Its de-
partments, they encouraged and In a
short time, aided hhn, hy a transfer to
th rolling mill, where he speedily
learned the making of steel trlrders,
beams, etc, then an Incident, needless
to relate 'but fortuitous as that which
gave him distinction in the foundry,
brought out the fact that h was a good
mechanical draughtsman, with evi
dences of taste as a designer,- and he
was promoted to. the "drawing" room.
Mere he remained until, In an emer
gency, he was called upon to essay the
duties of assistant foreman In the act
ual construction of a great steel frame
building, and that was the point he had
reached when Constance Dessine found
him.
All Her Lift Happy Release at Latt
of Miaa Allca Young, Who Re
side at 302 Alexander Straet,
Rochester, ' N. Y.
(From the Rochester Democrat and Chron
icle.) Our representative was received very
pleasantly at 392 Alexander street, by Miss
Alice Young, who told how since childhood
she had been held In the bondage of pain
from her back, never remembering the
time that she had not suffered pain or
aches In the region of the kidneys. Many
were the means she used to And relief, but
there seemed no remedy for her case and
he remained a captive; then along comes
these little, enemies to backache, Doan's
Kidney Pills, and a half box releases the
bonds, as one by one the aches and pains
disappear, she finds herself a slave to
pain no more, by their continued use. Bhe
says: "I was entirely relieved of all my
suffering and now I am perfectly strong,
healthy and well."
"How did you take this remedy 7" Miss
fount was asked by our representative.
Bhe replied that she followed directions
explicitly. Miss Young- then told how the
malady affected her, saying her symptoms
were: "Stooping, bending over, walking
or standing any length of time always
gave me a pain In the small of my back.
I had a pain In the kidneys all the time
and If I caught cold it would always settle
there; the pain I suffered was of a very ex
hausting nature; at night I could only lie
flat on my back, any other position caus
ing pain and suffering; the nerves passing
up my back were affected and this brought
with It severe headaches, but as X said be
fore, Doan's Kidney Pills have removed
all pain and suffering entirely and I never
felt better and healthier In my life."

HELD

Irving Bachellor
All this progress he had achieved In
one year, so he had certainly done well
with the IndUHtrial half of his problem;
but as much could not be said for the so
cial half of it. die did not get along
well at the mechanics' boarding house.
In vain he tried to adopt the manners
and ihuMcs of his foUow-txnardcrs. at
least far enough 'to put from HheJr minds
the sense of separation between him
nnd thim. He could mot, even by ef
fort, bo as dinty In mind, speech and
person aa some of ahem were with nat
ural ease. And he could not help
thinking logically and using his brain
when he talked, which caused others
of them to view 'him wi'th suspicion.
1 nen sii-bly he grew to realize that he
wtaa surrounded 'by an atmosphere of
distrust, antagonism and even malice,
the inspiring force of which was a man
known a Herr Janovlcs.
If Jjuiovlcs did ny work tt was in
some nocturnal Industry he did nut care
to avow, but he always had, money to
ray his board and "buy beer. His days
were ppent In sleep; hisovenlngs In fren
zied denunciation of the "blood-sucking
capitalist.-!"; Jeremiads over "down
tiodden labor." and llery mlvocucy of
"the communistic dit film Hon- o
wealth." When his fellow-boarders
wfTi't to 'bed. he K'.tuiutered out. Several
times John burroughs had Rmused him
self by worsting tho fellow In delta to1,
for whhh, of course. Janovies hated
him bltiterly and did all pos.-lblo to
prejudice the minds of ixthTS ugalnst
him, denouncing 'him, In his nibsence,
ns a "capitalistic spy" and "traitor to
the rights of man."
His malignant Influonee made Itself
felt. 'Again nnj again heavy weights
"accidentally" dropped out of tho
smoky darkness of 'the foundry roof
came near to crushing Jack's skull;
once a hoisting winch, under on enor
mous str.iim, was 'turned loose by the
treacherous release of a pawl, and only
by a half-Inch missed breaking his
back; and. finally, two of the Sturdiest
rutllans in the pang of his enemies
picked a quarrel with him. Intending to
give him a merciless brn'tlng, which re
sulted In their being taken to a hospltnl
for repairs. Hut none of these things
swerved John riurroughs from his
course, or even gave him a thought of
fear.
Assistant Foreman Burroughs, while
busy with his work on an upper lloor
of the great steel cage, tho second day
after the accident, was startled by
hearing, In a cheory and familiar voice,
the hall, "Helioa! Jack!!" and to see,
mounting from the end of a ladder, his
former chum, ltoss Thorpe. "How In
the world did you ever come to find me
here?" he exclaimed.
Ross had but little breath left, after
his unwonted exertions, but found
enough to gasp the reply: "Constance
saw you, and told (Amy, who told me.
Ouf! What a climb! Could I see the
moon by looking down over the edge,
at this time of day?"
"Constance! Who Is Constance?"
"Ah! I forgot. . You don't know her.
But t'he saw you that day, on the grand
stand, and has remembered ynu ever
since. Queer, Isn't It, that a girl should
recollect a fellow like that? But never
wind almut her now. llve me an ac
count of yourself. "Where have you
been? and what have you done? and
why did you do It?"
"I can't toll you now. Ross; for my
time Is not my own until 6 o'clock. But
come to my room this evening and I'll
tell you everything."
Ross took the address and lodgings
to which Jack had recently moved, his
old quarters having finnlly become un
bearable, and the two friends parted.
Their Interview In the evening was
long and pleasant. Ross, notwith
standing a rooted antipathy to exertion,
was quiet honest In his expression of
hearty admiration for Jack's pluck,
energy and endurance. And he noted
with satisfaction that a year of ardu
ous toll had left few marks on his
friend. Jack looked more powerful
..." Uerrjanovlca, ' -.1
than formerly and he never was
a weakling his face had grown
graver and more earnest than it
used to be, which made him seem a
little older than he was, tut in the
main, when out of his working clothes
he 'looked the same old Jack."
"But," remonstrated Ross, when he
had heard Jack's story, "even If you
persist in sticking to the life, I should
think you'd want to get away from
a gang of Yahoos who put up Jobs to
malm and kill you. Why don't you
get work some other place?"
"Nothing would Induce mo to change.
It Is part of my education. The men
are not all toad. Only a few of them.
In fact, have been Infected by that
mad dog Janovlcs."
"Couldn't you have him arrested7"
"No. He is shrewd -enough to have
others do the mischief he plans. It Is
easy to suspect hut hard to convict
rascals of his kind."
"They'll get you yet."
"I think not. Our work on this big
building Is nearly done. "When It is
finished and I go hack to the works, I
may be put In some, other department
and perhaps see no more of them than I
do now.. Huf I shalj be on my guard
anyway, and that's all ttilat is neces
sary." Jack's anticipation of speedy, return
to the works was realized more' quick
ly than he had expected, for the very
next day he was summoned to assume
the position, (temporarily at least, of
foreman of the foundry. The old fore
man, who first recognized Jack's abil
ity, had been dead six months and his
successor was his former assistant, a
rough, Ignorant fellow, who drank, had
no authority among; the men .and neg
lected his duties. It was his fault that
the Irregular .beam "297 D"'was not at
the building when wanted, and that
another was erroneously marked for it.
That tilled the measure of his offences.
He was discharged and Burroughs or
dered to take his place.
The moulders rebelled. . It exasper
ated them ,to think that one they re
membered as a casting-cleaner when
they, were already moulders, shout I
In" llttfe over year ' hate
risen above them. , His superi
or ability, which . they '. could not
but recognize, only embittered" them.
Then, too, some of them liked the form
er foreman, with whom they used to
get drunk, and thought it loyalty to
him to antagonise his successor. Herr
8r
Janovlcs learned! of the promotion and
did his heat to fan the flames of dis
content. "Bo," he said tauntingly, "the sand
wheeler Is your master now and can
order you around. Do you know why?
Because of his cunning, sneaking, under-handed
ways of serving the bosses.
The men knew that was a He, but pre
ferred It to the truth, because it flat
tered their self-esteem. "I told you
when he was here," J i no vies went on,
"that he was the spy and tool of the
bosses. Now, who will say I was not
right; that I didn't smell htm out?
Take warning! They plan some new
Invasion of your rights! new chains
for their trampled slaves! and he, their
hireling, la ready to do their dirty
work. Will you endure It? Will you
be his obedient dogs? Or will you be
hk judges?"
"I'll break his Jaw tomorry; he the
mortlal gob, I will," growled a moulder
named Kennedy, a blg, enormously
powerful fellow who had quite a repu
tation as a tighter, was indeed known
as "The Foundry Terror."
"Kennedy can; -If any man can, he
can," piped One-eyed Finn, a. little old
man who was 'barely on the outskirts
of Janovlcs' following, "but If he tries
It at the shop it'll have to be a fair
tight. iFor their own credit tho hyes'U
stand nothln' else there."
"That's all I wont," vaunted Ken
nedy; "and If I ain't man enough to do
tvlm, I'll never Hake another drink."
"liord! That's a bowld eayln'," ex
claimed One-eyed Finn.
The fight was forced on Jack the next
morning, and he was nothing loth to
accept the Issue. It was fair. Al
though the men were, one and all, hope
ful that the foreman would be whipped,
they were determined that the best
n-.ian should win Jn a shop light, so they
formed a ring and allowed no interfer
ence. iKonnedy was ferocious, braw
nier than Jack and had a longer reach,
with some "science," but was no match
for the cool, skillful boxer who had
been the best amateur middle-weight
!n the Manhattan Athletic club. "The
Foundry Terror" was 'badly whipped
nnd did not succeed in even Inflicting a
bruise upon the man he had sworn to
"do."
A "strike" was .threatened, hut Jack
was as ready for that as for the fight.
"Strike If you like." he told the m;n,
"I do not believe the Moulders' union
will sustain you; but If It should, I will
fill your places with picked green men,
who. under my direction, will learn to
do in two weeks all required on such
straight Jobs as the shop If full of now.
straight jobs as the shop Is full of now.
return while I am here."
There was no "strike." no more open
revolt, but the men continued sullen,
nnd, at Janovlcs' instigation, a devil
ish project took shape secretly among
his reckless and naturally criminal
tools. Preparations were making for
the casting of an enormous bed-plate,
with very heavy reinforcements nnd
deep lug-like projections from Its neth
er surface, a mass that would weigh
several tons. Both halves of its huge
mould were made and baked with ex
treme care and Jack neglected no
preparation necessary to success.
"While the upper half was btMng Blowly
and cautiously lowered into place, he
went, for a moment, to the stack, to as
certain If the metal was ready to run.
"When he returned, the men were
clamping the frames of the mould.
This, and the last stoppings, channel
ings and ventlngs were all speedily
done, and .the foreman shouted to the
furnace tender, "Let It come!" En
grossed as he was with the work he did
not notice that the four men who stood
near him, hy the mould, when he gave
that order, suddenly disappeared, leav
ing Mm alone.
A rivulet of white molten metal
spurted out from the furnace and
coursed swiftly along Its channel to
ward him. Uold and crimson sparks
Hew from it and when it plunged Into
the mould, gas flames, green and blue,
darted from the vents. Tho inflow con
tinued several seconds, in a stillness
that made the low hiss and crackle of
the fiery current seem loud. Then
came a terrific explosion and the air
was full of fragments of the mould,
blinding steam and flying masses of
molten metal, white and currant red.
Following close upon the awful roar
were the crashes of heavy objects fall
ing, the angry hiss of water turning
to steam, the agonized screams of vic
tims and the excited cries of men flee
ing from the catastrophe. And all was
In darkness, save the glow of liquid
metal spreading In slender streams and
shallow pools over the Irregular earth
en floor.
Some one threw open the big double
doors, letlng the Bteam out and the
daylight In. Surely John Burroughs
bore a charmed life, for he still stood,
unharmed In his place by the remnants
of the mould. But two men had been
mortally injured. The back of one was
"broken, and the other had been horri
bly burned by a mass of semi-liquid
Iron that had struck and moulded It
self upon him. Realizing that they
were about to die they confessed hav
ing themselves caused tho explosion. In
the hope of killing the foreman. They
had, when his back was turned, poured
a pall of water In the mould, before It
was closed. The other two men work
ing with them were accomplices, and
Herr Janovlcs had been the Instigator
of the diabolical deed.
VI.
Ross Thorpe mentioned to his sister,
one day, that Jack would pay him a
visit the next morning, by appointment,
but perhaps that had nothing to do
with the fact that when Mr. Burroughs
was formally announced, at the ex
pected time. Miss Constance Dessine
happened to be In the parlor, calling
upon her friend Amy, and of course re
ceived a formal Introduction to him.
"Ho," thought Jack, regarding her
with Interest, "that's the girl who re
membered me a year, merely from one
casual glance. "What a memory for
faces she must have!"
In his Unnocent freedom from person
al vanity, the Idea did not occur to him
that her recollection In his case was
perhaps .exceptional and due to some
special at traction other faces might not
have possessed for her. That he
would always remember her, he did nt
doubt, but that was a very different
matter. Her face was not one to be
forgotten. And yet. he could not have
-turned away and descrflied It. to save
his neck. His perception of Its details
was very vague. Her great dark eyes
seemed to fascinate his sight when
ever he looked at her, and all else of
her fciaures were merged In a general
Impression of perfect .loveliness. She
sang, and ,he was enthralled ' by her
voice; she spoke, and seemed to him a
paragon of wit and sense; she walked,
and he thrilled with admiration of her
?race and the beauty of her figure; she
sat still and silent, yet even dn her re
pose ho found new charms. If ever a
young man unconsciously plunged
headlong In love, John Burroughs did.
Constance had Ibeen playing on the
piano and he stood beside her, having
been occupied In the ecstatic duty of
turning her music, when he said, In a
low voice: "Ross tells me you recog
nized me, after a year." His alluding
to that mnemonic feat would have been
sufficient evidence to any one who
knew htm, of the wholly Impersonal
way he was considering It, but Con
stance did not yet know him well
enough to understand that, and blushed
violently at being so directly charged
with holding a young man in remem
brance, and by the young man himself;
nevertheless, it was true, and she sim
ply answered, "Yes."
"It is surprising! I'm sure I should
have remembered you. If I had seen
you, but that would have been because
It was .you. And I fancy It Is well I
dMnot."
"Why ao?" she asked, in surprise.
"If I had, I think It would have been
harder for me to adhere to the plane I
had made. I' would have teen wanting
to see you again Instead of sticking to
my work." - . ,
(Ta Be Concluded.) " -. .
WHEN YOU ADVERTISE IN THIS
TRIBUNE YOU ROACH BUYERS,
STORIES OF ABE LINCOLN.
One of the most Interesting features
in any newspaper is the weekly page of
"Llncolnlana" nubllshed ty the Sun
day Times-Herald, of Chicago. The
page contains anecdotes and reminis
cences of the great war president.
gleaned at first hand from men
who knew him. Many or the stories
narrated in this way are absolutely
new. "We borrow from our Chicago con
temporary those which follow.
I.-I.lneoln sad the Pond of Water.
On one oc-cakn the attorneys of Spring
field arranged to meet at the public square
on a certain morning and aturt together
on horseback 4o a neighboring county for
a term of court. All 'the parly were pres
ent on -time except Mr. LJucoln. After
some imiwtleiit waiting onu of them vol
unteered o o to Lincoln's resilience and
leurn Ilia cause of the delay. On reach
ing the place he wan found In his back
yard mounted on niulv, ttJJ-J with the as
sistance of a colered man was endeavor
ing to Induce the unwtlliiw animal o
mulve out of the ,yard. Air. Lincoln
Uira.thed the obwtlivate oreavture with
his long les, while his colored ho I per
tugged ut the halteir. Theextremely ridic
ulous scene evoked a burnt of laughter
from tho messenger. He then explained
that 'the other gentlemen of the party were
waiting, and suggested that It was unwise
to 'take thait morning to "break" a green
and obptlnaite mule. He proitosed that
Mr, Lincoln accept one of his horses us
a substitute and poln'thn party at the
square. This was aecordl-ngly done. On
the earlier part of the Journey Mr. Lin
coln's ailtitude, efforts and appearance
as a "mule breaker" were dwelt on at
lenwthi much .to .the merriment of the
travelers.
After getting well along In the journey
tho cavalcade came to n broad expanse of
water, covering the coun-try before them
In all dltvcttuns .like a lake. Those In ad
vance nt once turned -to Lincoln for In
formation and Inquired how far It would
he oi of tho direct route to go around
the water. Mr. Lincoln replied. "Five or
six miles, probably, and anon we should
have to return 'to the some road on the
other side. 1 don't know what the rest of
you boys proitoso 4o do, I am going
through It." He at once dismounted and
begun disrobing. Tho others- reluctantly
followed his exnmple. Having tied his
clothing to the saddle, he mounted and
led the way throimh the water. After a
ride of a mile or more the Interesting pro
cession approached tho other shore, the
water being scarcely over the fetlocks of
the horses, and at no place deeper possi
bly .than their knees. The chilly spring
atmosphwe caused many of the teeth to
chatter and rendered the violence of their
remarks enmcwhnt Inaudible. Lincoln
made no reply, but on reaching dry
ground began putting on his clothing
with 'tho remark: "In my opinion It
would not particularly obstruct naviga
tion to brldgo that stream." The mule
subject was dropped.
II. How Lincoln Won a Friend.
Tho veteran, Thomas Moran, who was
known to nearly every politician tlwut ever
rumo to Chicago, from Douitlua down to
those of the present time, remembers an
Incident In the life of Lincoln that poli
ticians of the present daw might study to
their advantage.
T. J. S. Moulton, a classmate of Judge
Drunimond, and .through the Influence of
that otliclnl made muster in chancery,
looked upon the candidacy of Lincoln ns
something In -the nature of a Joke. Ha did
not rate the Illinois man in the same clas
wi'th the giants of the east Seward and
the rest of them. In fact, he had ex
pressed himself as by no means friendly
to the Lincoln cause. Still, he had been a
good friend of Lincoln, nnd had often met
him when the Spring-Held lawyer came to
Chicago. Somehow 'the news of Moul
ton's position reached Lincoln, and after
tho election, when the presldeivt-eloct
came -to Chicago, a reception was ten
dered him at the Tremont House. Moul
ton went up In the line to pay his respects
to the newly elected chief magistrate
purely as a formality, he explained to his
companions. Mr. Moran was directly be
hind him In the line that tiled past, and
shook the gaunt hand of .the westerner.
A they came to him Lincoln grasped
Moulton'" hand with his right, and with
his left took the master In chancery by
the shoulder and pulled him out of tho
line.
"You don't helong In the line, Moul
ton," said Mr. Lincoln. "ou belong here
by me."
And everyone nt the reception was a
witness to the honoring of Moulton. Fur
thermore, from .that hour every faculty
that Moulton possessed was at tho ser
vice of tho president. "A little deed of
kindness," skillfully bestowed, had won
him; and he stayed won to the end,
III. Lincoln's Kindness of Heart.
"While a surveyor, it seems that Lin
coln lirst platted the town of Petersburg,
Menard county. III. Some twenty or
thirty years afterward the property own
ers along one of the outlying streets had
trouble tn fixing their boundaries. They
consulted the olllclul plat and got no re
lief. A committee was sent to -Springfield
to consult the distinguished surveyor, but
he fulled to recall anything that would
give them alii, and could only refer to the
record. Tho dispute, 'therefore, went Into
the courts.
Late one autumn while the trial was
pending an old irishman named Magulre,
who had worked for soma farmer during
the summer, returned to town for tho
winter. The controversy being mentioned
in his presence hn promptly said: "I can
tell you all about It. I helped carry the
chain when Abe Lincoln laid out mis
town. Over there where-they aro quarrel
ing about tho lines, when he was locating
the street, he stralghtenetf up from nis
Instrument nnd said: 'if I run that street
right through It will cut three or four
feet on: the end ot poor -jom s
house. It's all he's got In the world, and
ho never could get another. I reckon It
won't hurt anything out here If I skew
the lino a -little nnl miss him.' " The lino
was skewed und hence the trouble, and
more testimony furnished as to his
abounding kindness of heart that would
not willingly harm any human being.
IV. Avoided tho Semblance of F.vll.
Frank W. Tracy, president of the First
National bank, of Springfield, tells a story
Illustrative of nt leat two traits In Lin
coln's character. Very shortly after the
national banking Inw went into eiTect
the First National of Springfield was
chartered, and Mr. Tracy wrote to Mr.
Lincoln, with whom he was well ac
quainted In a business way, und offered
him an opportunity to subscribe for some
of the stock. He knew It was a good
thing, and would be better, end he
wished to serve both, his bank and his
president.
In rortly to the kindly offer. Mr. Lin
coln wrote, thanking Mr. Tracy for iho
oner, nnd at tho same -time declining to
subscribe. He eald ho recognised that
stock In a good mutlonal bank would be a
good thing .to hold and that thwFlrst Na
tional would be that sort of a bank. But
he did not feel that he ought, ns he was
president, profit from a law which had
been passed under his administration.
True, the kiw was not adopted for the
purpose of enriching members of the ad
ministration party, but the president feK
that his act might be susceptible of a
wrong construction, nnd so he declined.
"Ho seemed to wish to avoid even the
appearance of evil," said Mr. Tracy, In
telling of the Incident. "And so the act
proved tK!h his unvarying probity and
hie uii'fnlllng policy. No man living could
nncuse him of even the shadow of wrong
doing." V. Lincoln as a Diplomatist.
A cabinet meriting was once called to
consider our relations with Kngland In
regard to -the Mason-fllidell offulr. One
after another of the cabinet presented his
views, and Mr. Sewurd read an elaborate
diplomatic dlnputch which he had pre
pureil. Finally Mr. Lincoln read what he
termed a few brief remarks upon the sub
ject, nnd asked opinions of bis auditors.
It was unanimous that our side of tho
question needed no more argument. Mr.
SewHid sold he would be glad to adopt
the "remarks," and, giving them more of
the phraseology usual In diplomatic, cir
cles, send them to Lord Palmers-ton. The

"Certainly, Mr. President."

"Certainly; It cannot be mistaken In

From the Times-Herald.
CLondon, Sept. SO. The announcement
that General 'Lord Wolseley had been
chosen to succeed the Duke of Cam
bridge as commander-in-chief of the
British army causes the greatest pos
sible gratification among the govern
ment's friends and supporters. For
many years Wolseley has been to Tory
minds the ideal sohller 'the greatest
living master of the art of war. Gen
eral Lord Roberts, for many years commander-in-chief
of the forces in India,
and who for the past two years has
been In Great Bnltlan receiving the ad
miration to which his prowess In Asia
entitled him, is his only rival, tout he
has never filled the public mind as has
the man who .boldly eat In Judgment on
the deeds of Wnllln
and on the campaigns of General
a. vinrtu
Ills popularity is due almost entirely
to his military prowess. There Is noth
ing imposing or magnetic about his ap
pearance. He has not the fine phy
sique of Lord "Bobs." Slim, small
ftatured, with a ruddy face, firmly
lined, searching blue eyes and a droop
ing mustache, his general hearing Is
by no means that of the tpytcal soldier
of romance. Although 62 years of age,
he looks at least a decade younger, and
his Irish birth shows Itself in a marked
brogue, -which) he would he glad to re
move from his voice, as he has no
sympathy whatever' with the cause of
Parnell, Itedmond and 'McCarthy. The
Irishman in his constitution also shows
it'self In a suave manm.e ,n.i a nn al
together suppressed tendency to blar-
cjr inn ii-icmis, aitnougn during the
last score years of his life he has suc
ceeded in getting rid of that Irish trait.
His 'boast Is that he always says ex
actly what he thinks of friend or foe
and to their faces. Often he excoriates
his 'contemporaries In quite unprofes
sional style In the magazines and re
views, paying no more respect to liv
ing generals such as Lord Roberts than
he does to Napolean, Wellington,
Grant, Caeser or Hannibal.
Is an Actual Fighter.
It must not he supposed, however,
tihat Lord Wolesley Is one of those sol
diers who do most of their fighting with
pen and ink. He has had many more
than his share of hard campaigns since
be entered the army as an ensign in
March. 1852. From that time he has
.fnJn tht 1,1081 notable battles in
which the -British anmy has been en
gaged. He was an ensign during the
second Burmese war. At the siege of
Sevastopol he was a lieutenant, and
rose on that field to the rank of cap
tain In the first month of 1855. On his
way to China In 1857 he endured the
hairdshlps of the sea, being wrecked
near Singapore. .He took part in the
suppression of the Indian mutiny in
that year, receiving a commission as
major in IMarch, 1K8, and the next year
gaining a lieutenant colonelcy at the
age of 28 years. In 1S60 he served on
the wtnff of the quartermaster general
throughout the Chinese campaign, for
which he received the honor of a medal
with two clasps. He was appointed
depulty quartermaster general In Cana
da In October, 1867, and commanded the
expedition to the Red river. His gal
lantry on the field and his services as
an executive officer won him a nomina
tion as knight commander of the Order
of S3. Michael and George In 1870, and
upon his return to England he was
made assistant adjutant general at the
war office in 1871. "When the Ashantee
war 'began In lAvgust, 187,1, he was
chosen to command the British troops,
with the local rank of major general.
The (African campaign was a brilliant
one, the natives being defeated at ev
ery turn. General Wolseley entering
Coomassie on Feb. 5. 1S74, and receiving
the submission of the king. His return
to England was a great popular tri
umph. tLIke a second Selplo Afrlcanus,
he was the hero of the day. Parlia
ment passed a resolution 'thanking him
for his services to the British crown and
granting him $125,000 as a partial re
ward for his "courage, energy and per
severance." The queen made him a
Knight Commander of the Bath, while

A busy man like the Bishop of Toronto
can 111 afford to have his capacity for
work broken Into by catarrhal trouble, or
its simpler but yet serious phase of cold
In the head. And yet, to use a vulgarism,
there Is hardly anything that knocks a
man out more quickly than what we ordi
narily term, '"Just a cold In the head."
There Is a way out, however, of this
trouble, and the Bishop does- not hesitate
to say, over his own signature, and for
the good of others, that he has used Dr.
Agnew's Catarrhal Powder, and derived
Instant relief in catarrhal troubles.
One short puff of the breath through
the blower, supplied with each bottle of
Dr. Agnew's Catarrhal Powder, diffuses
this powder over the surface of the nasal
passages. Painless end delightful to use,
it relieves In ten mlnutes.and permanently
cures Catarrh, Hay Fever, Colds, Head
ache, Sore Throat, Tonsllitls and Deaf

The Spirited Career of Lord Wolseley,
England's New Commander-in-Chief.
favoring the popular hero, presented
him with the freedom of the city and a
splendid sword valued at 100 guineas.
He -was shortly afterward made com
mander of the auxiliary forces, but It
being felt that his services were needed
In Africa, where success had previously
met h.m at every turn, he was dis
patched to Natal to act as governor of
that colony, to advise the colonial of
fice of the best form of government for
the -natives, and to arrange for suitable
military organization and defenses In
the event of another outbreak.
Honors Came Very F"
Upon his return to London he was
again made commander of the auxil
iary forces, and then a member of the
council for India. His next appoint
ment was as governor of Cyprus, and
commander-ln-(ihief cf the army, In
that newly acquired Important military
point. African warfare again demand
ed his services in June, 1879, and he
was made governor and high commis
sioner of Natal, the whole of the Zulu
war being left In his hands. In this
venture he was successful, as always,
succeeding In destroying the strong
holds of iSlkukunt. At the closo ot the
campaign he held successively the offi
ces of quartermaster general and ad
jutant general of 'the army, but when
the expeditionary force was sent to
Egypt, in 1882, he was chosen as Its
leader. His services there gained him
again the thanks ot parliament, as well
and of Wolseley In the county of Staf
and of Wolseley In the county of Cairo,
ford. He also Obtained the rank of full
general, while both the English univer
sities conferred upon him their highest
degrees. Almost before he had thor
oughly rested himself from the Egyp
tian campaign he was sent back to that
country to the relief of General Gordon.
This was the only failure In his career,
and even for this only his enemies hold
him accountable. Through a combina
tion of -circumstances his wteamer ar
rived at Khartoum forty-eight hours
too late, rendering -the expedition abor
tive. To console him for his disappoint
ment, the popular hero was thanked
for his services .by both houses of par
liament, and waa made Viscount Wol
seley. In 1890 he retired from being
adjutant general to the forces and be
came commander-in-Chief of the forces
in Ireland, which position he has since
held, his conduct winning the approval
of the English Tories and the hatred of
the Irish, who would almost as soon
see further honors heaped upon the old
Duke of Cambridge himself as upon
their enemy. This, of course. Is an
other thing which gives the conserva
tives great satisfaction.
Corvcred With Scars.
' Wounds as well as honors have been
Lord Wolseley's lot since he first
donned a red uniform. In leading a
storming party while ensign during
England's war with urmah In '1S54
both he and his brother officer were
shot down as they entered the enemy's
works. The other bled to death In five
minutes and it was only as if by mira
cle and after intense suffering that the
life of the future commander-in-chief
of the British army was saved. Dur
ing the siege of Sebastopol he was
wounded three times and on one occa
sion while working in the trenches he
was bowled over by a solid shot strik
ing htm. He was picked up for dead,
hardly recognisable from the number
of wounds on his face. The surgeons
declared that there was no possibility
of his recovery, 'but he took a different
view of the matter and lived to see all
of them In their graves, although for a
long time he was compelled to live tn
a dark room, total blindness being
threatened.
While not engaged In fighting with
the sword. Lord Wolseley has been
wielding the pen with almost as good
effect. In his essays he has not hesitat
ed to criticise almost every general of
ancient and modern times. To com
plete the picture of the English hero
there is need only to add that he Is
a confirmed prohibitionist and an In
veterate smoker. He has an only-
daughter of marriageable age, who will
