William E. Gladstone "The Gfcand
Old Man," the greatest man of the cen
tury, perhaps, has passed from earth to
his reward. The entire intelligent
world mourns his death. No man has
maue a more posuive impression on
the world in this century than Glad
T - " , -
stone. Truly has his life been one of
service to humanity, and all the world
i3 richer in the heritage of a tood
name and. heroic endeavor for all that
is truest and best, because the tall, cen
tral figure of the ceutury.has been the
embodiment of all these.
Peace to his ashes !
The war with Spain does not now prom
ise to be ended in a day. WThile we do
not yet believe the Spanish fleets will
come fo Cuba to fight, still the war
may be prolonged for months, or even
a year. The Commonwealth may be
mistaken in the forecast about Span
ish fleets coming to Cuba, ; indeed there
may be a great naval battle in Cuban
waters before this reaches our readers,
but we do not believe that such will be
the case.
At any rate, all conservatiye people
will be glad when the war shall be over
and no more blood is shed.. Let the
time and day hasten on.
This is the season for commencements
and many young men and young wo
men will soon be at the home place to
rest under the old home tree.
But is there not a growing disposi
tion on the part of students to become
restless at home during the dull va
cation? Even after a year away from home
the old home becomes tiresome to some
young men before vacation ia over
and they have to "take a trip" some
where. It seems sometimes like the
tender love for the old home place is
not as strong and sweet in the young
of the present as it was in the
young of former days.
It is beautiful and hopeful to see
young men and young women love the
old home and its associations.
Perhaps the weekly newspaper
is
the subject of moie criticism than any
other institution or enterprise mat
serves the public at "all. There are
many more chances for such criticisms
against the weekly than against the
daily, and less chance to straighten up
satisfactorily that for which the criti
cism ia offered. For instance, if there
occurs some little incident that is a
matter of news, such as a party at Mrs.
A's or a festival at some hall for the
benefit of some church or society and
the news gatherer happens to fall to
mako a note of it, if it is a daily, with
in the next twenty-four hours he can
mention it and explain and the whole
matter is satisfactorily arranged at
once. x5Ut Witn me vee.i,y hu""
different. The reporter must wait a
whole week and those who take um
brage at the failure to mention the
matter at first, say it will be too old to
be news next week. And so do what
he may, the weekly newspaper man
finds himself at a great disadvantage
in some things.
And there are many peculiar ques
tions for the newspaper man to decide
which other people can not appreciate
and his seaming indifference to some
things is simply a result of over-crowded
work which no mortal on earth
could do any better. "
After all the weekly newspaper gives
about the most accurate account of

THE GRAND OLD MAN.
GLADSTONE HAS PASSED AWAY.
Death of the Great Commoner.
From the Press.
Harwarden, May 19. Mr. Gladstone
died at 5 o'clock this morning. He
had been unconscious practically all
day, though at times he seemed to rec
ognize for a moment some of the watch
ers about him. Certainly he did recog
nize his wife, who was beside him all
day, except when the physician prevail
ed upon her to rest. She tenderly
clasped her husband's hand as she
watched him. Apparently he slept a
good deal ; occasionally he uttered a
few words in an incoherent, dreamy
way, words which those who were
watching him were unable to catch.
Their only consolation was that he was
not suffering pain. Ho narcotics were
administered.
Though a national funeral will prob
ably be accepted by the family, there
is little doubt that the remains of Mr.
Gladstone will be laid to rest in the
peaceful graveyard at Ha warden, ad
joining the church where he was mar
ried more than half a century ago.
At Hawarden the happiest portion of
his life was passed, and it is truly a
retreat sweet enough for any laborer.
The late Right Hon. William Ewart
Gladstone, M. P., P. C., was the fourth
son of the late Sir John Gladstone,
Bart., of Fasque County, Kincardino,
if. B., a well-known merchant of Liv
erpool, and was born there, December
29, IS09. He was educated at Eton
and Christ Church, Oxford, of which
he was nominated a student in
and graduated, taking a double
1S29:
first-
class, in Michaelmas term, 1831
Having spent some time in a conti
nental tour, he was returned at .the gen-
neral election, in December, 1S32, in the
Conservative interest, for Newark, and
entered Parliament just as the struggle
of parties was at its height.
He was spinning tops at 5 years
when Bismarck was the new baby at
Schoenhausen. He was learning Greek
at the age of 10, when Victoria put in
an appearance. He was arranging for
his marriage when Groyer Cleveland
came to delight the hearts of his pa
rents, and a Chancellor of the Ex
chequer when a boy was born in Ger
many, who has since become Kaiser
William.
His father was Sir John Gladstone, a
wealthy merchant, who relinquished a
small business in Glasgow, about 1785,
and removed to Liverpool, where he ac
quired a large fortune in the EastIn
dia trade, being created a baronet in
1846. This fourth son was sent to
Eton, and while there gave promise of
the splendid brilliancy which marked
his course at Oxford, from which he
graduated at Christ church in 1831 as
double first-class, the highest honor
and one rarely attained. Then he be
came a fellow of All Souls'.
After travelling for a short period he
entered Parliament in December, 1832,
as a member for Newark, a nomination
borough belonging to the Duke of
Newcastle, which he continued to rep
resent till 1846.
It is a mark of strong character
when a man who finds he is headed in
the wrong path turns completely around
and leads in the other direction. Glad
stone, when he was first elected to the
House of Commons, just after the pas
sage of the reform bill that made Eng
lish representative goyernment, previ
ously a mockery, into something like a
reality, was a Tory of the straitest,
most old-fashioned sect. His maiden
speech in the House was in the debate
upon the measure abolishing slavery
in the British Colonies, and was a de
fence of the slave-holders against at
tacks made by radical Abolitionists.
For nearly twenty years he was one of
the shining lights of the Conservative
party and the the foiemost lieutenant
of Sir Robert Peel, its great leader.
Then he gradually drifted into Liber
alism, and, after being for some time
more or less "a free lance," he became
a member of Lord Palmerston's Cabi
net, in 1859.- '
At the death of that statesman he
succeeded him as leader of the Liberals
in the House of Commons, and when ,
his party regained office in 1868, after
Disraeli's first government, Gladstone
attained the premiership. He held it
tor six years, and again from 1880 to
1885, when he declared himself in favor
of the Irish demand for home rule,
which up to that time he had siren- j
ously opposed. The result was the se
cession of a large body of his support
ers and his defeat at the polls in 1886
a defeat which the dauntless veteran
afterward retrieved. Gladstone per
fectly recognized the fact tfiat his men
tal history "was one ot development
rather than one of consistency. "I was
educated," he is reported as saying in
conversation, "to regard liberty as an
evil I have learned to regard it as a
good. That is a formula which suffi
ciently explains all the changes of my
political convictions.". A glance at
the following chronology will show the
principal" e vents in Gladstone's career
as a statesman and author :

FEIEXDSHIP FOR HALLAM.
But Gladstone, the Eton boy, was as
interesting as "the Grand Old Man."
His special and inseparable friend was
Arthur Hallam, the subject of Tenny
son's "In Memoriam.'" The friendship
commenced when Gladstone was in his
13th year, and was never weakened
until death came to loose the silver
cord. Hallam was a delicate boy, and
although his associate was much in
clined to outdoor games of all kinds,
he gave up the pleasures of play in
order to keep company with his friend
in their long walks across country, or
their lengthened talks beneath the old
oak tree around Windsor. Gladstone
at this period was a fighter and an
argufier." In fact, argument ran in
his family, and the father of the three
young Gladstones at Eton always en
couraged them to discuss the pros and
cons of every subject, however insignif
icant. William seldom lost an opportunity
ot improving the occasion. Once the
head master called him to his desk to
account for his not having marked
do7n in his monitor's boos the late
arrival of one of his schoolfellows.
"It is a violation of your trust sir,'
said the pedagogue, "and I'll have to
flog you."
The boy j-eplied : "Sir, if I had
sought the position oi monitor this
might be called a violation of a trust,
but since the position was thrust upon
me I would most respectively submit
that I am Innocent."
The old man who was great on
technicalities was so delighted with
his pupil's ingenuity that (Us whipping
did not take place.
Mr. Gladstone, in later life, remarked
that his reasoning was wrong, since
sheriffs, jurymen, and others have to
discharge duties which are thrust UDon
them and which they would be glad to
avoid. "My defense," he said, "was
more culpable than my fault, but the"n,
you know, I had really only forgotten
to put down the boy's name, and also
had to avoid the flogging which I
saw clearly in my taskmaster's eye."
- PIG-TAIL STORY.
During the Eton period it was cus
tomary on market days for some ot the
more fun-loving Btudents to rush
through the town with sharp knives,
cutting off the tails of the young pigs
and bearing them in triumph to their
rooms. Gladstone either made a har
angue or wrote a sarcastic screed in
The Miscellany about the brutality of
this. Enemies rose up against him.
One night he found three fresh pigtails
tied to the inside of his bedroom door,
whereupon he pasted npon his -door,
inside and out, a challenge calling up.
on tne aespoiier oi tne pigs "to come
forth and take a receipt for their offer
ing, which I will sign in good round
hand upon their faces." But Glad
stone, Jr., was regarded as a tough foe,
and the kind invitation was never ac
knowledged or accepted.
In 1850 he was traveling in Southern
Europe, when he beard rumors of the
despotism of King Ferdinand Bomba
ot Naples, who without any form of
trial, had imprisoned in filthy dun
geons over 20,000 persons accused of
political offences. At this time Mr.
Gladstone had been nearly twenty years
in Parliament, so that he had full un
derstanding of the responsibility of med
dling in the affairs of other countries.
He went to Naples, made a personal
investigation of the prisons, and found
everything worse than had been told of
the wretched despot. His "Letter to
Lord Aberdeen" (1851) resulted in
mild remonstrances from that noble
man, but Lord Palmerston's sympa
thies were later enlisted by a pamphlet
that clearly pictured the sufferings of
the Neapolitans, and the tempest of in
dignation that followed these disclosures
engulfed Bomba and ended his kingly
days.
AS A GRECIAN.
As a Greek scholar Mr. Gladstone
was not a Porsou or a Jebb, but he
was capable of taking the same delight
in a new Greek play that he did in
"Middlemarch," "Robert Elsmere,"
or a drama by Daudet. He also con
sidered "Esther Waters" and "The
Year of Jubilees" "strong and able
works, which ought to live when many
of their contemporaries are forgotten."
This would have been regarded by
some as atrocious literary taste. His
own published works are "The State
In Its Relations with the Church"
(two volumes, 182S) ; "Church Princi
ples Considered," (1840); -'Studies
on uomer ana tne nomeuc Age
(three volumes, Oxford, 1858) ; "Essays
on Ecce Homo," and a pamphlet on
the Irish church question entitled "A
Chapter of Autobiography" (1808),
and "Juventus Mundi, the Gods and
Men of the Heroic Age" (1869), with
translations, and other pamphlets.
Some of his friends have discovered
an ode he wrote for The Star Miscella
ny in his 19th year, which differs
argely from the tone of his anti-re
form speech.' It is inscribed, "To the
shade ot Wat. Tyler," and one stanza
proceeds in this fashion :
I hymn the gallant and the good
From Tyler down to mistiewood.
Mv muse the trophies grateful sings
The deeds of Miller and of Ings.
She sings of all who soon or late
Have burst subjections iron chain,
Have sealed the bloody despot's fate
Or cleit a peer or priest in twain !
This is not bad, considering that
most of his intimate friends at Eton
at the time were either sons of peers
or priest. But the liberation of Greece
was in the air, and Lord Byron's poems
were the companions of every bright
school-boy who had ever heard of Ath
ens or Sparta. Gladstone was an en
thusiastic Philhellone, and Wat Tyler
was a far off enough point to break
orth upon in revolutionary rhapsodies.
MRS. GLADSTONE.
In 1838 he married Miss Margaret
Glynne, who was then an heiress, 25
years old. one amea ana numorea
her husband from the first, and made
it a family rule that he should never
be contradicted.
The last years of his life were passed
at Hawarden Castle, the property of his
wife, which is practically in the gate
way to Wales. This residence is on the
hills overlooking the valley of the
beautiful Dee, six miles east of Chester
in a picturesque pars oi uv acres.
And there he liyed, surrounded by four
sons, three daughters, and seven grand
children, who loved him with intense
devotion. , The seven children are not
clever. At least, they are not consider
ed clever. But what could you expect
of sons whose greatness is so oyer
shadowed ?
William grew up to be lord of tbe
manor of Hawarden ; Stephen, the sec
ond son, was rector of Hawarden
church : Henry, after service in India,
was taught to be a country gentleman,
and Herbert, the youngest one, was the
only one encouraged to take up public
life. Two ot the daughters are mar
ried little Dorothy Drew being the
daughter of one and the third, Miss
Heln Gladstone, has long been an in
structor in an English college.
Another Case of Rheumatism Cured
- by Chamberlain's Pain Balm.
Mv son was afflicted with rheumatism
which contracted his right limb until
he was unable to walk. After using
one and a halt bottles ot Chamberlain's
Pain Balm he was able to be about
again. I can heartily recommend it to
persons suffering from rheumatism.

THE PHILIPPINES.
FACTS ABOUT THE ISLANDS.
Their Population and Commerce.
A mail report from Consul WiHiams
to the State Department of a recent
date from Manila gives a full descrip
tion of the Philippine Islands, their
resources, growth of American trade,
etc., and will be incorporated in the
next volume issued by the Bureau of
Statistics of the State Department.
Local and European authorities esti
mate the area of the Philippine Islands
at 150,000 square miles and their pop
ulation at 15,000,000. The island of
Luzon, on which the city of Manila is
situated, is larger than New York and
Massachusetts and has a population of
5,000,000, and tbe island of Mindmao
is nearly, it not quite as , large. There
are scores of other islands. An idea of
the extent ot the population of the
Philippines may be formed wheu it is
stated that the six New England States
and New York, New Jersey, Maryland
and Delaware have ten per cent less
area and population.
Mr. Williams states that 22 consul
ates represented the leading commerci
al countries of the world are establish
ed at Manila. He adds the surprising
statement : "Tbo volume of the export
trade coming under my officuil super
vision, equals of my 21 consular col
leagues combined."
He then shows in detail how the
trade of the Philippines witlf' the
United States exceeds that ot all the
other countries combined and is grow
ing at a remarkable rate.; As indicat
ing the extent of this trade he as ;
wr j t i , r.
xo-uay i nave auinentioated in
voices loi-v export to United. States
amounting to $138,066." 4 .:
lie says the exports to ton country
average $1,000,000 a month?
In a previous report, .cuyted Feb. 10,
Mr. Williams stated thai Manila had
just passed through a mo!: devasting
fire, the total lofjs being jf500,ono. He
said the city would have been totally
destroyed had it not been for the
splendid service of an American fire
engine brought from Seneca Falls,
N. Y.
In another report Mr. Williams
gives the railroad and ocean steamship
facilities of the Philippines. The main
railroad from Manila is first class, hav
ing steel rails, stone culverts and Eng
lish engines which make 45 miles an
hour. There are four steamship lines
to Hong Hong and a monthly line
from Manila to Liverpool.
Besides these direct reports from the
United States Consul, the State De
partment has a gazetteer published at
Hong Kong which gives full account
of conditions in the Philippines. It
shows that by the last census the popu
lation of Manila was 160,000 natives,
61,000 Chinese, 4,100 Spaniards and
250 Europeans other than Spaniards.
The town is made up of low buildings,
as the people are in constant dread of
earthquakes. One of these convulsions
killed 300 people, and the last one, in
1880, wrecked most of the town. The
city proper is within walls ; here Che
goyernment buildings are located. The
residence and business portions are in
the suburbs. There are six daily papers,
three banks, a mint, a chamber of com
merce and complete electric light and
telephone plants. The Mexican dollar
13 in general use.
Cleaning the Poultry Ec-asa.-
Selected.
During the summer month's it is a
serious matter to allow tne droppings
to accumulate, as they serye as a har
boring place for the lice when dry.
The proper mode is to sweep the poul
try house every morning with a broom
and then to scatter dry dirt ou tbo lioor
and under the roosts. The dry dirt
makes the sweeping an easier matter if
the sweeping is done daily, but if post
poned for two or three days some of
the droppings will stick to the floor.
It is but a few minutes' work it plenty
of dirt is used. After sweeping the
floor place the droppings in a barrel or
throw them on the land. There will
be sufficient dirt with them to preserve
tbem. If the floor, after being swept,
is well dusted with air-slacked lime once
a wees and dirt scattered over the lime,
it will serve to assist in preventing lice ;
but tbe lime will injure the droppings
some, though, it matters not, provided
the droppings are at once spread on the
lands. When the droppings accumu
late, the result is ammonia and odors
in the poultry house which are disa
greeable to the hens, often compelling
them to roost outside.
Children like it, it saves their lives.
We mean One Minute Cough Cure, the
infallible remedy for cousrhs, colds,
croup, bronchitis, erippe, and all throat

Canada Seen in Mirage from
Rochester.
Rochester Democrat and Chronicle.
One of the most pronounced and
pleas'ng mirages that was ever seen
from Rochester was noticeable yester
day afternoon, and, through the pecul
iar powers of the strange freak of na
ture, Canada's shores could be plainly
seen with the naked eye, as could also
what appealed to be woods on the
shore of tbe northern boundary of old'
Ontario. ' -
K. " : ..'"(
toward the itoriUye8terdayjut the .
akernoon know thaTalthough the rain
continued to make the inhabitants of
Rochester miserable, in tbe north it
was clear a3 the pink sky showed.
Between the pink and the American
shore ot Lake Ontario could distinctly
be seen the opposite shore of the great
body of water. The lake is about sixty
miles wide directly opposite Rochester,
so that those who saw tbe mirage look
ed through about sixty-seven miles of
space and saw land.
With the aid of a glaes the trees on
the opposite side could be seen to better
advantage. The long strip of lead-colored
shore and the water contrasted
well with the pink sky bci'ond, the
whole forming a pretty picture No
boats were to be seen on the lake, how
ever. Lake untario seemed to he little
wider than the Genesee above the city
and it was difficult for some to believe
that they really saw Canada.
Those who keep track of the strange
things called mirages say that every
year about this time one can be seen.
They come just as the storms are dis-'
appearing. J he one that was visible
yesterday may be seon to better ad
vantage this morning.
When The Mistress is "Lady."
In the May Ladies' Home Journal,
Edward W. Bok notes that "the college
year now neuring its close has a signif
icant importance in tbe fact that dur
ing it the higher education of the
young woman has shown a strong
domestic trend. This has been true of
nearly all the important women's col
leges throughout the land. It ia true
that the field has only been entered.
But the beginning has been made, and
the domestic course has proven, in
every instance heard from, the most
popular innovation of recent years.
There is only one true solution
of the servant-girl problem, and it
must be shared, part and part each, by
the servant and mistress. Before we
have intelligent service in our homes
we must have domestic training
schools, just as we have manual training-schools.
Here and there in our
country these schools are springing up,
and they will multiply fat when their
necessity and results are better under
stood and seen. Well-equipped train
ing schools will produce well-equipped
service, and domestic service will,
through their influence, become an art
and a profession. But while Ihe
servant is undergoing lier domestic
training, it is equally necessary that
the roittress should become better' ac
quainted with the domestic arts so
that she may intelligently direct, where
the other intelligently works. These
two must go together : the one without
tbe other is not enough. If the girl of
to day expects, when she is a wife, that
her servant shall do her work iu a com
petent manner, ghe, as the mistress,
must be competent to direct. She
must herself understand tha work the
asks her maid to do."
