England's Graat Premier Celebrates
His Eighty-Fourth Birthday.
SW THE LEADER OF THE LIBERALS
Hale,, Hearty, aad Still; Vla-erou A
r
Mas of Fads aad Fancies, a Stateo
. man Who Adorns j What
ever Ho Tonehies.
LoxDOJt, Dccemler -23. England's
irrand old man, the Rt. Hon. William
Ewart Gladstone, entered his eighty
fourth year today. ' He celebrated his
anniversary today by working hard In
his study during the "morning. In the
afternoon .he5 went to t,he house of
commons, and in every3 way vigorous
ly attended to the duties of his posi
tion. Mr. Gladstone received many
telegrams of congratulation from dis
tinguished people in all parU of the
world. j
, Mr. Gladstone was born December
59, 1S09, at Liverpool, where his father,
Sir John Gladstone, was; a merchant
of considerable importance. From
him, Gladstone inherited a fortune
snd, what is more important, the
baggage of tory opinions he had when
he entered policical life.
Mr. Gladstone was educated at Eton
college and Christ church, Oxford. In
1831. he achieved one of the greatest
academical feats known by taking a
double first in letters and mathematics,
there still lingers in Oxfard' the le
gend of his phenomenal industry. His
first intention was to study for the
bar, but through the influence of the
duke of Newcastle, determined to
enter political life. He entered parli
ament in 1832, as member for Kew-srk-on-Trent.
He was then a con
servative, and his first book was a
defense of the union of church aoid
state. When he was! twenty-five
years old. Sir Robert Peel made him a
junior lord of the treasury. A few
months later he was appointed secre
tary of the colonies, a position he held
until Peel went out of Office in 1835.
During the next eighteen years he
held a number of offices and gradually
swung round the circle from staunch
tory ism to the liberalism he has held
ever since 1831. In 1853 he was chan
cellor of the exchequer In the Aber
deen coalition "ministry; and held' a
place in the Palmers ton cabinet, which
succeeded it. He was sent to the
Ionian isles, as lord high commission
er. In 1865 the University of Oxford
rejected hha. and a year ater the de
feat of the reform bill threw him and
his colleagues into the : background.
He was in his fif ty-ninh year when
he was first made prime minirter of
England. After the triumph of the
conservatives in 1874, he retired and
for a number of years devoted himself
to literary work. The victory of the
liberals in 1SS0 called him again to
power. In 1834, through his efforts,
the franchise bill was passed, which
gave 2,000,000 people the right to vote.
The last years of his life have been
given to the battle' for home rule for
Ireland.
These are the most prominent facts
In a life of brilliant achievments.
His home life has been singularly
happy. Mrs.' Gladstone belonged to
an aristocratic Welsh family. Her
father was? Sir Stephen Flynn, of
Bar warden, Cheshire. She -was well
educated, and by nature as well as by
attainments, was well suited for the

Spahtaxbtjbo, a C, December 30.
The first fatal raid of the dispensary
constables occurred last night. Blay
ton, Jackson and Pearson went on
their first hunt for a blind tiger, and
aa a result, Henry Palmer was killed
Instantly and Constable John Blayton
languishes with a mortal wound in his
back.
The men went over . to Palmer's
house to arrest him "for keeping a blind
tiger. Constables Jackson, Blayton
and Pearson knocked at the door and
told Paltoer to open. Palmer came to
the door, and Blayton laid hands on
the negro and told him to consider
himself under arrest. Palmer jerked
back and acted as though he was go
ing to pull a pistol. Just then a wo
man came in with a gun and Palmer
told her to shoot. She cocked both
barrels and leveled, the gun at Jack
son. He grabbed the gun before she
had time to pull the trigger. Blayton
and the negro were scuffling near the
floor, when Blayton told one of his
eomrades to shoot. A shot was fired.
The load entered Blay ton's back.
Blayton then drew bis pistol, placing
the muzzle just back of Palmer's left
ear, and fired. The negro fell dead
without a struggle.
It is evident that Blayton was shot
by one of his own party. The house
was full of men, who ran away when
the first shot was fired. .,
Great excitement prevailed in the
city all day. The colored people are
organizing a mob to kill the consta
bles, and it is feared that the Hamp
ton Guards wlU have to be called out.
YELLOW" FEV ER AT RIO.
Th Plagn Appears In th War-Stricken
City.
Bkusos Atbes December 31. Very
bad news has reached here from Rio
de Janeiro. 1 It is announced that the.
important city, which has been suf
fering from the ravages of the war, is
now a victim of the worst and most
dreaded of all diseases yellow fever
and five deaths from it are already re
ported. News that yellow fever has added
Its burdens and horror to the suffer
ing already endured by the people of
Rio, has caused widespread attention
here and much sympathy is expressed
for the plairue and war-stricken in
habitants. It is added, however, that
the government is taking every pre
caution possible, under the circum
stances, to prevent a spread of the
disease, but the work of the officials
at Rio de Janeiro is greatly hampered
by the condition to which the city
has been reduced by the horrors of
war.
It is added that the yellow fever
which has broken out in Rio, is not a
mild form of that fever, but the worst
form of black fever.
War In Africa.

the seizure of the German irovernment
house at Cameroon, West Africa, have
been confirmed by dispatches received
here. The mutineers numbered one

carrying firearms. After driving the
officials out of the building, they bar
ricaded the doors and windows. A de
tachment of marines from the German
gunboat Hyaere was sent to recapture
the building. The natives held out
fifteen hours before withdrawing from
the building. Five of the sailors were
wounded. -
