New News of Yesterday

Forced Himself on Lowell

Now Emory Storro, Brilliant Chicago Lawyer. Made the Minister to Great Britain Intertatn Him and Hie Friends. When James Russell Lowell was minister from the United States to the Court of St. James he entertained kt dinner and tn other formal ways many men of distinction and official bbaracter, and he was esteemed a most charming host. But there began U> be heard complaints from plain American citizens that Mr. Lowell was not as hospitably inclined towards them as he was towards the neat dignitaries. So the report Spread abroad ‘through the United , States that Mr. Lowell had at no time Invited an American citizen who had nOfcOfficial distinction to dine with Whatever truth there may have been in this criticism, it inspired a bpry brilliant but also very eccentric Chicago lawyer, the late Emory Storrs, with the ambition to secure gn invitation from Mr. Lowell for a fllnner not only for himself bnt also for several American friends of Mr. who, he knew, were in Europe At that time. MT. Storrs was regarded by the American bar up to the time of his death in 1884 as one of the most bril* Bant of American advocates. He was hlgo a very successful stump speaker. He gained as high a reputation as any of the speakers who appeared gm the stump advocating the elecn of Rutherford B. Hayes in 1876. d far and wide he was noted as being as full of fun and wit as a nut is bf meat, and as fond of a joke as the original Joe Miller. M was In the summer of 1883, two fears after Mr. Lowell had become bur minister to Great Britain, that |fr. Storrs undertook to have some tun with the distinguished New England man of letters. On his way abroad he fell In with Chauncey M. Depew. “I am on this steamer,’* said Mr. Storrs, gravely, “In an official capacity. I am a commissioner appointed by the packing interests of Chicago to Inspect the ocean cattle-carrying methods. I am a genteel cowboy.” “Well, you must have some other purpose In going abroad than an investigation of live cattle upon an ocean steamer,” said Mr. Depew, Incredulously. “You don’t need to do that for a living. What do you expect to get out of it?" “Well, I will tell you what I expect to get, and what I will get out of it,” Mr. Storrs replied, even more gravely than before. “I am going to get a dinner out of James Russell Lowell, our exquisite literary critic who Is now occupying the post of minister to the Court of St. James. And I am not only going to get an invitation from Mr. Lowell for a dinner; I aleo am going to name my fellow guests.” “You are joking, Storrs,” protested Mr. Depew. “This is one of your jests.” “It io no joke at all,” was the response. “I tell you I am going to make James Russell Lowell do what he never did before, and probably

Odd Coincidence of War Days

How Gtrrit Smith, One of the Original Abolitionists, Won First Draft of Emancipation Proclamation in a Raffle. “I suppose that almost everyone who has ever thought of the matter is of the opinion that the original draft of the Emancipation Proclamation Is |n the archives of the state department at Washington. But it is not there, and .it never was there." So said Frederick W. Seward, son of WllljUm H. Seward, and assistant secretary of state under Lincoln, Johnson and Hayes. "Some weeks after Mr. Lincoln read the first draft of the Emancipation Proclamation to his cabinet, a. short time after the battle of Antietam,” continued Mr. Seward, “the Christian commission, or It may have been the sanitary commission, which you remember did such magnificent work for the amelioration of the sufferings of the soldiers at the time of the Civil ■war, held a fair at Albany for the purpose of raising funds. “My father and I were appealed to to send some articles associated with the war which could be offered for pale at this fair. It occurred to me that, if I could get from President Lincoln the original draft of his proclamation of emancipation and could thereby send it to the management of the fair at Albany, they would be able, If they put It up at auction, to get quite a bit of money for It I suppose that If It were for sale at this time, it would fetch hundreds of dollars. I therefore asked President Lincoln if he would let me have the first draft, and told him the purpose to which I purposed to put It Lincoln wever had any sentimental associations with any of his writings, and "was very careless about keeping manuscript His first draft of the Emanclnation Proclamation held no senti-

what he will never dv again: I am going to make him invite me, a plain, humble American citizen, to dinner at the American embassy, and to Invite also the guests whose names I will furnish him.” Some weeks later Mr- Depew met Mr. Storrs upon the “Well, did James Russell Lowell give a dinner in your honor T” he asked the Chicago lawyer. “He certainly did, and* he tried to appear happy," was Mr. Storrs’ reply. “Did he Invite the guests whom you named to him?" “Every one excepting two, who happened to be away from London at the time." “How did you do it?” Mr. Depew asked, at the same time expressing his surprise at this unwonted achievement. — "Well, I just made hhn do it; I told him I wanted him to do it," replied Mr. Storrs. "I intimated that, unless It were done, I would be compelled to say in my report as commissioner, appointed to see whether the cow stablee upon ocean-going vessels were kept as clean as the stables Hercule* swept out, that In my task I had received no encouragement or recognition from the American minister at the Court of St James. “It came hard,” continued Mr. Storrs, “the American minister at the Court of St Jam* s Inviting a plain American citizen, who had crossed over as a genteel cowboy, to dinner; but he did It, and I shall go back ot the United States proud of the tact

Inspired Henry Ward Beecher

Starr King’s Efforts for Union on Pacific Slope Led to Those of More Famous Orator In England. The late John G. North of New Haven, Conn., who was one of the most successful of the Lyceum platform managers in the days when the lecture was one of the most popular and Instructive forms of public entertainment, said to me one day: “I suppose that Wendell Phillips’ lecture entitled ‘The Lost Arts’ Is, all things considered, the most popular lyceum lecture that has been delivered in the United States. Mr. Phillips told me the last time he came to New Haven that he had already delivered the lecture about three thousand times. The popularity of it you can judge when I tell you that the last time Mr. Phillips delivered this lecture at New Haven the night was bitter cold and stormy, yet the great music hall was packed with people who were willing to put up with the severity of the weather in order to hear Wendell Phillips. • “I remember that I asked Mr. Phillips late that evening what he considered the most popular lecture outside of those of his own repertoire that had held the boards in his day. “To my surprise he said: T think that Thomas Starr King’s lecture en-

mental value for him; and he gladly promised to give It to me. v “In the course of a day or two Lincoln sent me the first draft It was all in his own handwriting and contained, as I remember, the interlineation which was suggested by one of the members of the cabinet, after he read the proclamation to the cabinet "The managers of the fair were delighted to receive this document, and it was advertised as one of the features of the fair. The managers decided to dispose of it through a raffle, and a large number of chances were issued; my recollection is that a dollar a chance was charged. There was great Interest when the drawing took place. But when the lucky number was read, no one at first appeared with the voucher or ticket, so that it was not known who thq holder was. "At last the holder of the winning ticket appeared; and who do you suppose it was? It was none other than Gerrit Smith, one of the original abolitionists, one of the most earnest of the anti-slavery men, who might himself have been nominated for president upon the prohibition ticket, who was the candidate of the prohibitionists for governor of New York, a member of congress in the early fifties of the last century, and at that time one of the largest land holders in the United States. It was regarded as a most extraordinary coincidence that this famous abolitionist, this man who had been the warm friend of John Brown, loyally supporting him In his Kansas raids and subsequent adventures, should have been the lucky holder of the winning ticket In the raffle for the first draft of Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation. “Mr. Smith subsequently gave the document to the state of New York, and It Is now preserved, I think, In the state library.” (Copyright, 1911, by IS.

that I was the first, and will probably be the only plain American citizen whom this distinguished and dilettante man of letters, the American minister to the Court of St. James, ever invited to dinner." And not until then did Mr. Depew realize that Mr. Storrs had doubtless got himself temporarily appointed an Inspector of cattle in order to make the joke all the better on James Russell LowelL (Copyright, 1911, by E.

titled “Substance and Shadow” has been heard by as many persons as have heard of my “Lost Arts.” It is a wonderful lecture and nobody but a man who had lived, as King did, winter and summer amid the White Mountains, could have written it.’ *1 asked Mr. Phillips if my impression was correct that Thomas Starr King had been a Unitarian preacher in or near Boston, and was later a Unitarian clergyman at San Francisco. Mr. Phillips answered my question abruptly and sententiously by simply saying: ‘Yes.’ “I saw, however that my question had stirred up a new train of thought In Mr. Phillips’ mind and hoped that he would give me the benefit of It, although I did not dare ask him what he was thinking about. At last he said: “’Henry Ward Beecher and Starr King—these two are the men who have spoken to the hearts of men and have persuaded them. It Is a little singular that two clergymen, one an orthodox, as we call it in Massachusetts, the other a Unitarian, should In the days of the Civil war have so spoken as to change public sentiment and shape the destiny of the nation. “’Starr King was living at San Francisco at the time of the secession of the southern states from the Union. He heard that the Pacific states would take advantage of this breaking up of the Union to establish a Pacific coast republic. “ ‘ “Not while I have tongue to speak or while there are ears to hear what I say will that be done,” King said to those who brought this news to him. And he so spoke, so pleaded and persuaded as to hold In check that purpose.’ “I never shall forget,” said Mr. North, “how impressively Mr. Phillips told me this. He said he had received Information at first hand of the manner in which Starr King challenged and defied those who hinted to him that the time had come when the Pacific states should establish own republic. And Mr. Phillips went on to say that it wqs Starr King’s battle from the platform against those who were trying to take California out of the Union which inspired his friend, Henry Ward Beecher, to undertake that superb campaign in Great Britain in 1868 in which, from the public platform, Beecher beat down the influence of the aristocracy of Great Britain in behalf of the Confederacy and concentrated and consolidated the public opinion of the great middle class and the yeomen of Great Britain in such a manner as to make it apparent that this class would give unflinching support to the cause of the Union. “Suddenly Mr. Phillips paused. He looked North, he said, ’let us never forget that in the days of the extremity of the Union two clergymen spoke words which aided in saving it.’ And in uttering that sentence he was never more eloquent of compelling or impressive on the lecture platform.” (Copyright, 1911, by E.

GOLD BEAQS AGAIN IN r AVOR Revival of Old Fashion Will Bring These Ornaments From Their Hiding Places. There has been a revival of gold fieads. Old strings of these that have lain idle for years can now be taken from their hiding places and worn Around the neck. In ease they are tarnished they can be cleaned with hot soapsuds or a good polish. The aew beads are somewhat larger than the old-fashioned ones; some are even as large as a small marble although they are not considered in very good taste.

A collar effect made of rows of imall beads is becoming to the girl with a slender throat. One of the latest designs has nine rows, each bead not larger than an ordinary pinhead.

BRIGHT COLOR GIVES Applied to Take Away Effect of SomJ berness In Dresses and Sults of Young Girls. The vogue for reversible fabrics and color contrasts is applied to the fashions for girls of all ages, as well as td those of women. Black seems rathe? a somber color for a girl in her early teens, but when you relieve a black coat of heavy, woolly goods with huge rever* and cuffs of light blue, the* 11 becomes at once a girlish garment White or cream color is liked for contrasting with the dark colors on girls* dresses and suits. One of the smartest suits brought out recently is of dark blue cloth—a three-piece model—with a sailor collar and cuffs on the coat and inch-wide bands on the blouse of creamy ratine. Plaid also Is used to a greet extent for facings and trimmings on every sort of garment for young folks. A shepherd’s plaid dress, which would took severely plain, is brightened and made distinctive by a yoke front, shaped band and cuffs of red serge worked in black soutache. A soarlet patent leather belt matches the red trimmings on another dress of shepherd’s plaid. A ceat of dark blue serge for a child of twelve or so has a shield and cellar to match and a broad belt of dark bine suede. A black velvet hat for a miss ol sixteen or so has three Immense rosettes of velvet, each with a heart ot gold, which touch at the edges, completely encircling the hat One Is ot purple, one of Alice blue and one of brown.

A REMARKABLE CURE FOR DYSPEPSIA Munyon’s Stomach Treatment Performing Miracles. MUNYON TELLS YOU HOW TO GET WELL FREE OF CHARGE "A few days ago I received a letter from a young man, who states he is 28 years of age, and has occupied several Important positions, but owing to indigestion and Inability to sleep he has been unable to concentrate his mind upon his work and has consequently been discharged'on the ground of neglect of duty. He goes on to say that he is a young man of steady habits, but for years he has suffered from dyspepsia, which has so affected his nerves that he Is unable to sleep, and that k Is not neglect upon his part, nor lack of interest in the business, but simply physical weakness. He asks my advice in this matter. “For the benefit of a large number of those similarly situated I propose to answer this letter publicly, hoping that it may be the means of helping many who may be affected in this way. “In the first place, the stomach must be made well before the nerves can be made strong. The nerves must be made strong before one can sleep well. No one is capable of doing his best who is in any way troubled with insomnia or any form of nervousness. The greatest generals have been men of iron nerve and indomitable will. They have had perfect digestion, being able to eat well, and digest all they ate. “It is said that Napoleon lost the battle of Waterloo because of a lit of indigestion. Grant's enormous reserve power was due to a well stomach. Abraham Lincoln said that ’he did not know that he had a stomach.* Grover Cleveland, ft Is said, could work 18 hours a day, eat a hearty meal at > or 8 o’clock in the morning, go to bed and sleep soundly until 9 O’clock and get up refreshed, ready for a new day’s work. “Pres. Taft is another type of healthy manhood. Who thinks for ene moment that he would be the President of the United States today had he been a dyspeptic or affected with some nervous ailment? I claim that two-thirds of all the failures in professional and business life are due to weak and deranged stomach*. “No business house would care to employ a dyspeptic representative to sell goods for them on the road. One-half the men who stand behind counters today, earning from |l2 to 815 a week, will never get beyond these figures, for the reason that they are physically weak. They lack the nerve power and commanding strength that come from a good, sound stomach. “No one cares to hear a dyspeptic preacher. No matter how pious ne may be, he is bound to reflect his bilious and jaundiced condition. He will unconsciously inoculate his hearers with his melancholy feelings. “No one would think of entrusting an Important legal case in the hands of a dyspeptic lawyer, any more than he would care to entrust his own life, or that of a dear one, in the hands of a physician who is nervous, irritable or a dyspeptic. Men must have good digestion, strong nerves and vital manhood in order to render a clean, clear-cut decision either in medicine, law or business. “I believe that more than half of the divorces can be traced to ill health. I want every dyspeptic to try my stomach treatment, for it corrects nearly all forms of Indigestion and nervousness. It makes old stomachs almost as good as new. Its marvelous power for digesting food and getting the best out of it makes for good rich, red blood. This, in turn, strengthens the nerves, builds up the general system, and will surely prolong life and make it a pleasure to live and do the things allotted to us."
