PREHISTORIC MAN IS FOUND Fossil Remains of a Briton 170,000 Years Ago Discovered in the Thames Valley. London.—Back in a time that no man knows, 170,000 years ago, there lived id England a race of men, whose stature; and characteristics did not differ materially from those of ithe Englishman of today—a race that had shed all traces of simian traits in lace, feature and body, and whose brain cavity was larger than ds often found in highly intelligent people of our mddern age. This has recently been proven by the discovery of the The Ancient Briton. bones of a prehistoric man buried 170 feet deep under a terrace, which is re garded, and ‘With good reason, as the ancient bed of the Thames river. . There is no reason to believe that the elevation or depression of the land, which leads to the rise and fall in the level of the river, has not been uniform. The past must be judged from what we know of the present, and on this basis the land movement which formed the terrace, and which has scarcely changed since the Roman period, has been deposited at the rate » of one foot in 1,000 years, this assigning a period of at least 170,000 years since the high-level terrace was laid down’at Galley Hill, and the ancient Briton was entombed in the river bed. This ancient Briton was five feet one inch in height. The neck wasr enormously thick and the chest was narrow and protruding. FINDS SECRET OF EGYPTIANS Art of Hardening Copper Is Rediscovered* by Railroad Fireman of Kansas. Newton, Kan. —The process of hardening copper to the temper of steel, an art known only to the Egyptians hundreds of yejks ago, has been rediscovered by a Kansas descendant of a long line of metal workers, it is declared. John Stipp, a Santa Fe fireman of this city, is said to hold the secret for which scientists of many countries have sought for many ages. In a tiny laboratory of a neat, wellkept cottage near the railroad shops, ' k fl ■ liJrah x I II \/rr John Stipp. booking for all the world like other cottages of the average laboring man, the lost art was recovered. John Stipp’s father, grandfather, great-grandfather and how much further back he does not know and does not care, were metal workers. For eight years he has unceasingly experimented in his laboratory for the secret burled with the ancient Egyptians. Recently his years of discouraging failure culminated in success, and he holds a process for tempering copper until it defies the hardest files, he says. House of Lords. London. —The house of lords is composed of lords spiritual and the lords temporal. All the peers were not originally entitled to a seat as a matter of right, but only those who were expressly summoned by the king. Every peerage of the United Kingdom which is conferred now gives the right to a seat in the house of lords. The number is indefinite, and may be increased at the pleasure of the crown which, however, cannot deprive a peer of the dignity once bestowed. The upper house at present comprises about 580 members. By the act of union with Scotland, 16 representatives of the Scottish peerage are elected by the Scottish nobility for the duration of each parliament, and 23 are elected Cor life bj the peers of Ireland.

Tale of the Supreme Court

George F. Parker Tells How President Cleveland Offered the Chief Justiceship to John G. Carlisle, Before Naming Fuller. It has always been the popular presumption that since the time when John Marshall was appointed chief justice of the United States (that is the legal title for the office of chief justice of the Supreme court) only one person has ever declined the offer of' the chief justiceship—Senator Roscoe Conkling of New York. It was widely published at the time of the incident that President Grant had offered the {lost of chief justice to Senator Conking. The letter in which the offer was made was preserved as one of the choicest of the papers which came into the possession of Senator Conkling’s literary executors. But the popular belief that Senator Conkling is the only man who ever refused to become chief justice of the United States is erroneous, and I have for njy authority for this statement Mr. George F. Parker, the biographer of Grover Cleveland, a close friend of Mr. Cleveland’s for nearly 30 years, and one of the few friends admitted into perfect intimacy with Mr. Cleveland. Mr. Parker not only tells here, for the first time in print, who the other man was who refused the chief justiceship, but also how it came about that Melville W. Fuller became chief justice of the United States. “After the death of Chief Justice Morrison R. Waite in the latter part of Mr. Cleveland’s first administration,” said Mr. Parker, “Mr. Cleveland, after giving much thought to the nomination of his successor, decided to name John G. Carlisle for the post, provided Mr. Carlisle revealed a willingness to accept the honor. Mr. Carlisle, at that time, was speaker of the house of representatives and Mr. Cleveland had come to entertain a very high regard for him as a parliamentarian, a legislator and a lawyer. - “Having arrived at this decision by taking counsel wholly with himself, Mr. Cleveland took the first opportunity to place before the speaker of the house his desire to place him on the Supreme court bench, and in the highest place on that bench. Mr. Carlisle greatly appreciated the tentative offer, but he decided that it was not expedient for him to accept it; very likely he had in view a political r reer of a different kind, one wit) vista that reached to the White I .e Itself. But this much is certai - -had he been willing to accept ' office he —and not Melville W. Fullt. would have become the country’s chief justice in 1888. “Nor, I presume, is it generally known that after Mr. Carlisle declined the chief justiceship, the president for

Last Days of Great Lawyer

Knowledge That He Had Hereditary Disease of Eyes Checked Evarts’ Career in Senate and Drove Him From Public Life. No man, since the days of the Civil war, ever entered the United States senate with greater prestige than did William M. Evarts. For years he had ’ been recognized as the leader of the American bar; he is to be numbered: among the few great lawyers who are assured of permanent recognition of: his career. He had been the spokesman for the nomination of William H. Seward for! the presidency of 1860. During thei Civil war he had been sent on a dlp-t lomatic mission to England by President Lincoln. As President Johnson’s senior counsel, he did much to secure) Johnson’s acquittal in the great lm+ peachment trial. He had beeen attorney general in Johnson’s cabinet, and secretary of state under Hayes. He had served as the leading counsel for the Republicans before the electoral commission appointed to decide the Hayes-Tilden presidential election. He had been chief counsel for his country before the famous Geneva court of arbitration, and the cause for which he pleaded had triumphed. Thus when, in 1885, Mr. Evarts was elected United States senator from New York state, this selection was looked upon as a matter of national Importance, and great things were expected of him, both by the senate itself and the country at large. But Mr. Evarts had not been In his seat in the senate long before his colleagues began wonderingly to whisper among thetaselves, saying: “H&s this great man found himself in $n unfamiliar place? Are his abilities exclusively those of a great lawyer, or diplop-it? He seems to be lapsing into ?. spirit of indifference.” j More and more it was noticed that Mr. Evarts was becoming almost a lay figure in the senate chamber, and it was frequently, although quietly, said that his service as a senator would probably prove to be an antl-cllmax to his great career. It was observed that when he entered the chamber he occasionally felt his way to his seat. He seemed feeble. He was carefully

wme time : seriously thought of appointing to that great office the late Jdmes C. Carter of New York, then regarded as the leader of the American bar, in whose office Associate Jiistlce Charles E. Hughes received his first -experience In active legal practice. But finally, after he had also seriously thought of calling Edward J. Phelps home from the court of St. James to take the he turned to Melville W. Fuller of Chicago. “What definitely determined Mr. Cleveland to select Mr. Fuller for chief justice were certain representations made to him by members of the Supreme court. They said to him that a: man, to be successful as chief justice of the United States, should have, iff addition to great legal learning and a; high judicial capacity, great executive ability. Under Chief Justice Waite, they delicately Intimated, great lawyer though he was, the business of the Supreme court had lagged, so that it was about three years behind the docket. ! “Mr. Fuller had been recommended to President Cleveland not only as a yery able lawyer, but also as a business man 6f unusual capacity. Had he dhosen a business life instead of the law, his sponsors declared —and probably correctly—he would have s gained distinguished success as an executive.

Story of Vice Presidency

How the Nomination for That Place Was Offered to Governor Boies of loyva by William C. Whitney and Declined. I , • The only Democratic governor the State of lowa has ever had since the organization of the Republican party iwas Horace Boies, now in his eightyfourth year. Mr. Boies was elected governor 'in 1890 and re-elected two years later; and two years after he had left the gubernatorial chair he was second in the balloting for president by the Democratic national convention which gave Mr. Bryan his first presidential nomination. In recognition of the .initial triumph of Mr. Boies over lowa’s Republican host, Governor Boies, through ' J friends, the late Moses M. Ham iand Jennis J. Richardson of Davenport, lowa, was urged and consented ;to take part in what was expected to be the largest political banquet ever held up to that time. It was ■ fixed for the evening of December 23,« 11890,* in New York city, and was' | looked upon as the beginning of the ! Democratic national campaign of 1892.

attended) At last, it was assumed that the extradordinary change was due to ill health. After Senator Evarts retired from the senate, in 1891, he gradually began to disappear from the places which had long known him. Finally, it became known that he was confined to his house. He lived in a roomy, oldfashioned dwelling, which faced Stuyvesant Square in New York, and lay, in the shadow of St. George’s church. Gradually, he was confined to his room, and at last to his bed. Then his friends knew what he had known when hp was in the senate, that be was a victim of an hereditary disease of the eyes, a malignant physical taint which was in the Roger Sherman blood, from which, also, Mr. Evart’s cousin, the late Senator George F. Hoar of Massachusetts, suffered. And it was this affliction, secretly, bravely borne, that had caused him to seem like another man when senator. Never was an invalid more patient than this heroic figure when he was brought to bed. In the summer, with the window open, he could hear the murmur of the city, and the children, as they played in the square. The fragrance of the blossoms he perceived and greatly enjoyed, so that he could, with mental vision, picture forth the coming of the spring and early summer. But friends reported that, after all, he was finding his greatest consolation in the unobscured mental vision which was left him. By means of it he cbuld picture forth the men and incidents of the historic events with which he had been associated. And, thus consoled, thus occupied, with the varied and fascinating mental likenesses of men and historic scenes, the great American at last passed into perfect sleep. ’ Rights Reserved.)

And what is the difference in the degree of the crime as between theft by the light of the moon and theft by the light of the sun?—Houston Post.

It was this qualification, and this chiefly, that led Mr. Cleveland, after his talks with members of the Supreme court, to appoint Melville E. Fuller chief justice; and it gave hint no small degree of satisfaction afterwards when he learned from members of the Supreme court that under Chief Justice Fuller the executive arrangement of the Supreme court’s business had been so adequately perfected as to enable the court no longer to lag in the disposition of cases.” (Copyright, 1911, by E.

Not long since, Mrs. Asquith determined to unmask one of these unwelcome visitors, and she went up to a quiet looking lady whose isolated position suggested that she did not know anybody there —a fact that told against her. With icy politeness she asked the lady’s card of invitation. It was calmly produced and handed over, and the woman rose without a word and walked indignantly out of the house before the mortified hostess realized that the supposed uninvited guest was a peeress. Peeresses are scarce and valuable in the Liberal "party. Mrs. Asquith will never play the role of private detective again.

“You should have seen Governor Boies when he arrived in New York,” said to me a member of the Democratic national committee of that year. He was in much distress of mind, and he revealed the reason when he asked us if it would be proper for him to appear at the dinner in a business suit. He didn’t own such a thing as a dress suit. “He was much relieved when we told him that there would not be the slightest objection to his business suit. Then he asked if he might read his speech. He said he had tried to commit it to memory, but it was of no use. And finally, the governor appeared to be very happy when we told him: ‘Why, of course, you can read your speech? "It proved to be a great speech. The subject was ‘Farmers and the Tariff,’ and it attracted so much attention that William C. Whitney and the others who were directing the machinery for the nomination of Cleveland two years hence were not surprised when they learned that it had resulted in a fine presidential boomlet for Governor Boies. That boomlet would not down. It was the only thing of consequence that annoyed Mr. Cleveland’s friends. “Os course, the lowa Democracy, elated by its gubernatorial victory and almost carried off its feet by the expectation that an lowa Democrat would be nominated for the presidency, sent to Chicago In the summer of 1892 a magnificent host, probably ten thousand persons in all, and they made much political noise, but the noise did not avail. • “After Mr. Cleveland’s nomination on the first ballot, some of those who had directed campaign met in William C. Whitney’s room. Mr. Whitney said that under the circumstances it would be expedient to say to the lowa delegation that if Governor Boles would accept the nomination for vice president it would be made, probably by acclamation, emphasizing the last two words. "Thereupon, a courteously and generously worded communication, prepared by Mr. Whitney, was sent to the lowa delegation. Only a few moments were required for the reply. . Mr. Whitney received it. He was told that Governor Boies under no circumstances would consent to take second place upon the national ticket. “None of those who were present can forget the queer, almost bewildered, expression which came to Mr, Whitney’s face. But time pressed. There must be a second choice for the vice presidential nomination. So we turned to Adlal E. Stevenson of Illinois and speedily learned that there would be no. rejecting of the offer on the part of Adlal or his friends. And because he wan a Sort of Hobson’s choice Adlal Stevenson became vice president of tho United States. “To the day of his death KY. Whit ney always had a strange suspicion that Governor Boles was xot consulted, and that his friends were so disappointed over the outcome of the presidential contest that they repudiated offhand the vice presidential nomination. It seemed to Mr. Whitney that If such a distinguished Democrat as Thomas A. Hendricks of Indiana would accept a Democratic nomination for vice president, or if that noble Roman* Allen G. Thurman of Ohio, were willing to accept a like nomination, as he did, Governoi Boies’ friends might well have swallowed their pride and accepted Mr. Whitney’s offer.” (Copyright, 1911, by E. J.

Clean Sanitary Floors. Vaniish, which is commonly regarded only as a beautifier, is an efficient sanitary agent. Varnished surfaces can be cleaned by wiping, and the microbeladen dust is thus kept out of the air. A varnished floor is therefore not only up to date, beautiful and easily cleaned, but is wholesome. The National Association of Varnish Manufacturers, 636 The Bourse, Philadelphia, Penn., are distributing free a booklet'entitled “Modern Floors,” which tells how floors may be made and kept wholesome and attractive.
