firt notice that John I). Archbold had
that hU letter file bad been ravished.
These letters showed several remittances
of certillcates of deposit from Archbold
to Koraker while the Senator was Mill
representing his State in the Senate. On
the witness si and in tho present inquiry
Mr Archbold explained that tho money
was -ent to Senator .Koraker In payment
for legal services rendered by Mr. Koraker
to the Standard Oil Company in con
ncctiou with litigation pending in theOhio
Stale courts.
Another witness who will be heard
toon after the election is ex-Congressman
Charles H. Orosvenor of Ohio. In a batch
of letters recently published by William
I! Hearst, Orosvenor is shown to hove
received a certificate of deposit for $1,000
from Archbold and to have had other cor
respondence with the Standard Oil mag
nate. In one of the totters Gen. Orosvenor
linked for employment with the Standard
Oil Comtunv for a nenhew.
On Hip witness sta nd in the hearing be
fore the Clapp committee Mr. Archbold
tei-tiHod that he sent tho S1.000 to.Con
greimin Orosvenor as u contribution to

Another phase of the Investigation
relates tn the Democratic fund of timl.
inee Thomas V. Hyan testified that he
gave $4.Vij to tho fund th.it year there

members to recall the officers of the com
mittee of that, year, notably ' Thomas.
Taggirt, who wan the chairman: August
Belmont, tieorgo F. Po-ilwdy and possi
bly Judgo Alton ft, I'urker himself, to
explain why none of the witnesww
supposed to'tiave had Intiinvte knowledge
of tho oamtviign contributions gave the
committee information about Mr. Kyan'a
contribution!
It was left for Mr. Ityan to tnako the
disclosure himself, tv'rtain prominent
Democrats have comnlained to the mom-
liers of the invest iunting rommltteo
that they want more mfoimattou about
tho expenditures of the committee
What were the debts that Mr Hyan
testified he was compelled to uay to save
the lemocratio party iromaisimegrai ion?
Who were the -creditors who demanded
their monev or tho life of.the party? This
line of inquiry' is likely to furnish one of
the real sensations of the inquiry.
CUBA CALM AFTER ELECTION.
W-mhlnicInn Pleased .With Probable
Victory of Menoral.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 2. Despatches to
tho State .BepaHraent to-day from the
American legation at Havana Indicated
that Oen. Menocal, the Conservative can
didate for the Presidency, had been
elected. Conditions in Havana and the
provinces wero reported quiet. There
still remains considerable anxiety as to
how the verdict of the voters will be ac
cepted by the Liberal partisans. If dis
order breaks out In Cuba and assumes a
menacing degree all is ready for American
intervention in the island republic. It Is
generally believed, however, that there
.will not bo cause for American forces to.'go
to Cuba.
The election' of Oen. Menocal is re
garded hero as satisfactory. He Is
reputed In Washington as a business man
ot the highest character, making sacrifices
in the interests of good government in
Cuba. It is understood that he is giving
up a salary of tSOTwiO a year to take the
Presidency. The fact that-ha is a man of
considerable private wealth is regarded
here as insuring the honesty of his forth
coming administration.

TRIES TO ABANDON HER BABY.
Letters Kxcliniifjed Between
Members Head at Dyna
miters' Trial.
Indianapolis, Nov. z.-After examin
ing Frank Deal: a non-union ironworker
of Cleveland, who was assaulted and
1eaten by union ironworkers, the 'Oov-
ernment continued tho presentation of
letters in tho dynamiting cases to-day.
All of tho letters referred to plans for
harassing non-union men and "unfair"
contractors "arid to jobs which the Gov
ernment contends is the term used when
dynamiting )s referred to.
John T. llutler, now first vice-president
of the union, in 1007 wrote to MoNamara
concerning a plan he had to make things
unpleasant for non-union men in Buffalo
His plan, he said, was to hire about twenty-
five newsboys to follow non-union Iron
workers to and from their boarding
houses' and yell "scab at them continu
ously, making this attack such a nuisance
that boarding house keepers would not
permit tho "snakes to board nt their
places.
llutler, writing to McNamara January
10, 1007, referring to work of the Mc-
Clintic-Marshall Company in ho vicinity
of Hurl alo, baid: "I am making them all
the trouble I can. Will cause them lots
of worry before they accomplish much."
Tho letter also refers to a man named
Scanlan who, llutler said, was going to
Chicago. He told J. J. that ho ought to
put somebody in Chicago next,
One of II. S. Hockin's letters to McNa
mara, under date of December 1, 11)00, said
Hock in had been up to Mount Huron,
where the American Bridge Company had
u job. It referred to a derrick on a car
and said: "It was standing on a high bonk,
und I heard that ono night (Friday) tho
wind blew i off the car.
To Oeorire Hacertv'of PhillinsburE. W.
J. McNamara on March 25, 1907. wrote
n letter in wlrirli he named some former
members of the union who were working
under open shop conditions in Hagerty's
vicinity. "You can take those gentlemen,
ono by one, and -make them sorry they
over went near an unfair job," said Mc
Namara. . "The best time to do this.-how-ever,
iB after an adjustment of tho situa
tion there," i
Hock in on April 13, 1007, wroto to aic
Namara: "Stacy found that the high wind
was too much for his tank last night."

RUNS UP STAIRS AT 75.
LEARN DEVINE HAS TWO HOMES.
Humor That the .MeManua Forces
Mar "eek Candidate's Arrest.
The attention of the elections bureau
has been called to two places of residence
maintained by Thomas K. Devine, Sena
torial candidate on the Republican, Pro
gressive and Independence League tickets
ui tho Fifteenth Senatorial district.
This district has been represented at
Albany by Senator McManus. ' John
J. Boylan has McManus's tutcking and
Devine, who has always opposed Mc
Manus, is out to defeat the latter candi
date. Last -week Devine announced his deter
mination to prevent any illegal voting
and posted $20,000 for proof ot illegal
registration. At the same time he is al
leged to have uttered uncomplimentary
remarks about his opponent. Boylan
sued for $100,000.
The McManus forces say Devine gave
his place of residence as 237 West Fjehty
llfth street. This is in the Fifteenth As
sembly district and is embraced in tho
Seventeenth Senatorial district. The
Fifteenth Senatorial district, in which he
-is tho candidate embraces only the Ninth,
Eleventh and Thirteenth Assembly dis
tricts. The record of Devine's registra
tion shows that be gave 101 West .Sixty
.third street as his residence. This address

trier lo' All lliw rmrt-niii nriiuiuuni uib-

It was rumored that an application for
a warrant for Devine's arrest had been
made to Chief Magistrate McAdoo, but
Supt. Voorhees declined to say that find
ings had been made or what action would
be taken.

Washington, Nov, 2. The death of

Ibsen's son has written a book,
modest title he selected for It Is
Quintessence of Life."
A great man's son, Sigurd Ibsen
has failed to achieve greatness. A
diplomat at first, ho never rose to dis
tinction In the various positions he
filled (he was attached once to the Nor
wegian Legation In Washington), For
saking diplomatic ambitions, he entered
the political arena and was once a
I'rlme Minister. Nowadays he Is a
philosopher.
The most Interesting part of "The
Quintessence of IJfe" Is the chapter on
grent men.
Sigurd Ibsen professes, perhaps In
self-defence, to believe firmly In luck.
Talent and genius alone wilt not suffice
to make a man Krrat. "When will
people cease to repeat that platitude,"
he writes, "tlirtt real talent always
makes Its way? Schoolmaster talk and
bannl wisdom!
"No matter how Important a human
being Is he cannot force bis way If Vit
lives ut the wrong time and In the
wrong plarp. The highest Intellectual
powers are of little use In a half bar
baric society, where they can neither
owert themselves, nor even be developed
for that matter. A nature that has pro
pensities In the direction of heroic dee.ls
will. In ordinary times, be doomed to
Inactivity. It may even happen that
the possession of unusual qualities may
hinder the advancement of a great man
when he Is placed In surroundings
which require normal Individuals and
not exceptions. Of what assistance U
It then to him that he Is a sharp edg.vl
sword? The sword Is not at all fit tn
lie wielded In cottosi. I wonder how
many men there have been who were
greater than thslr lot? Dictators to
whom it was never granted to ruto,
thinkers whose Ideas were never pre
served In any work, artists, whom m
verse, nor tone, nor color, nor form ever
revealed to contemporaries or to pos
terity. Thomas Gray In his Elegy de
scribes how he wanders In the country
churchyard and Imagines that the dust'
of an 'Inglorious Milton.' or a 'Crom
well. gulltless of his country's blood,"
lies under the modest mound. And why
not?
"Even the figures that are considered
unique have certainly more .kinsmen
than Is believed. I know well enough
that there has been only one Napoleon
the Great, but thtro have certainly
been several i I.leuts. Bonaparte. Only
that they remained unknown becauie
the chance for success did not appear
and they had to go under In silence and
darkness.
"Hero worship Is for a large part an
accommodating Interpretation of chance.
and the history of culture, as well as of
politics, properly viewed. Is the epic of
the fortunate. It Is tho account of the
geniuses and the heroes who did not go
to the bottom, of those who were not
held down helpless In narrow circum
stances, whom no Illness nor accident
swept away too early, whom no youth
ful folly ruined for life.
"It was a pure chance the sudden
death of his friend Alexis that turned
Luther from Jurisprudence to theology
and opened the way for him to become
the great reformer. It was Rlsmarek's
fortune and not his merit that Frederick
William IV., with whom he never could
have cooperated, was succeeded by a
king who gave him latitude to do ay he
pleased. ft was Josephine's Intimacy
with one of the powerful leaders of the
day to which Bonaparte owed his speedy
advancement. Barras undertook to pro
vide her dowry, and It consisted In the
chief command of the army of Italy, and
hereby the point of departure for a
worldwide career was given.
"That a human being's advancement
Is conditioned by circumstances over
which ht has no control appears most
distinctly In the political domain antl
especially In revolutionary times. It
was not Washington who Introduced the
American liberty movement; not Robes
pierre who created Hip French Revolu
tion: not Gamhetta who brought on the
war of 1S70. The career of any states
man or General will give evidence of the
fact that those whom we call men of
action come to the front by the help of
a certain turn of events that Is Inde
pendent of their will, and, as a rule,
Incalculable.
"If one turns to the history, of science
and technics how many evidences of
the favor of circumstances or period
there are on every page! Tho discov
erer and Inventor have been strikingly
compared to the player In a lottery
where the last number drawn Is or
dained to be the winning one. The
more blanks that have como out on his
predecessors' numbers the more prob
ablo It Is that ho will draw the prize.
"Greatness does not oven Imply orig
inality many great men have only been
happy heirs or happy utilizers of tho
works of others.
"One can count Queen Elizabeth and
Louis XIV. amoqg tho utilizers; their
fame Is not due so much to Inherent
greatness as to the fact that they wero
surrounded by eminent men whose
powers they knew how to use.
"Still such exploiters are not con
sidered as stars of ' the first rank. This
dignity Is reserved for the greatest
heirs, a CiPsar who Inherited the Roman
ropubllc, a Napoleon who Inherited the
French revolution, a Luther who In
herited u century old religious fermen
tation. Such men arc looked upon as
pioneers, but they are In reality per
fecters. "To be a pioneer Is a very thankless
position. Tho Greek who lost his life
by being the first to spring ashore on
hostile soil didn't become a hern of the
Trojan war. Achilles, who didn't sacri

Genevieve Ward, Old Actress, Mkes
Womanly Woman of 1NOO.
London, Oct, 23. Genevieve Ward,
who replied for 1800 at the "Milestones"
dinner last Sunday night, Is now In her
seventy-fltth year. She still runs up
and down stairs without effort, gets
up at 7 o'clock and walks several miles
every day. Talking of tho old days
the famous singer and actress says:
"Actors were supposed to be outside
respectnble society then. Hostesses
were not anxious to have them In "their
drawing rooms, and there was no
danger of being knighted. I never con
gratulated Irving on his knighthood.
I told htm that It was no honor for him.
that any rich tradesman, any Mayor ot
a town visited by theKIng, any one
with money useful to the Government
could be knlfihted. He said: 'Yes, I
know; hut It may do the profession
some good.' 1 wonder If It has?"
One considerable Improvement Miss
Ward notices In tho stage of to-day:
"The small parts are better filled ond
the non-speaking parts Immeasurably
j.o. In the '70s and '80s the latter were
always taken by supers at 24 cents a
night, and the result was often ludi
crous. The Adelphl super was notori
ous, and the audience would often
have difficulty In refraining from laugh
ing at the attempt of a super
to wear evening dress property
and stand properly. Now, luckily.
thert- are more young actors who are
willing to start by walking on. She
regrets the women of tho '60s. "In
1860," she says, "women were womanly.
Now they are manly. No doubt tho
athletic masculine girl of to-day has
many good points, but I confess I miss
the girl of 1860."

St. IETEii3Bt;RO, Oct. 20. Old, poverty
stricken and 1y the world forgotten,
there died the other day In one of the
public hospital of this city Michael de
Lusignan, "King of Cyprus, Jerusalem
end Syria. Prince of Armenia."
The title, an empty one In these day.',
dates back to the Crusades, for It was
Richard I., of England, who, after par
ticipating In the Third 'Crusade, gave
the Island of Cyprus to one Guy da
Lusignan, a valiant French knight, to
rule It as "King of Cyprus."
For years the Turkish Government
levied tribute upon the Prince's father
and when at length he succeeded to the
title this was before the seizure of tho
island by Great Britain in 1878 the
Turkish authorities demanded that he
should either embrace the Mphammedan
faith or abdicate. He chose the latter,
for his country w;as unprepared for re
sistance and he preferred to surcender
his throne rather than abandon the
Christian religion.

fpecinl Corrrpondtee to Thi 9rx,
Amsterdam, Oct. 21. The Dutch'nafion
is preparing to celebrate in a unique man
ner a centenary of uncommon Importance
in its history. Next year will mark the
hundredth anniversary of the recall of the
Prinoos of Orange and of the establish
ment of the Netherlands constitutional
monarchy upon tho shaken foundations
of the Dutch republic
ft was after the battle or Leipzig in 1813,
it may ba briefly recalled, that Holland
seized the opportunity to free harsclf from
the Napoleonlo yoke, and restored the
house of Orango to preside over her efforts
to regain her place among tho nations.
It was at first proposed to hotd a great
international exposition, which might be
identified with tho opening of the Peaoe
P.xloce at The Hague. This project, how
ever, has been abandoned fora bigger and
more ingenious scheme, that of holding
a numlwr of distinot expositions and con
trary celebrations nil over Holland dur
ing the year.
Tho expositions will ba very diverse in
character, having the double aim of se
curing an honorable rivalry among tha
various towns and provlnoes promoting
them and of making them repre-snU-tive
of every kind of Dutch activity and
achievement during the century. Many
of the expositions, extending themsslvos
beyond the himdred years limit, will pro
sent in the form of pageants or historical
collections earlier periods In Dutch his
tory, but they will not bo less interesting
on that account. Amsterdam, for example,
will have a naufical exposition, and for
the purpose will collect on the northern
sldo or tho Y, where every variety of ves
sel, from ocean liner to fishing smack,
goes by, representative examples of
al that pertains to the history or Dutch
navigation, hlstoricaldooumnnts, pioturcs,
prints, models, nautical Instruments Rnd
relics of voyages of exploration.
A little furtheratong the ooast.at Hoorn,
the most famous and still the most beauti
ful of Dead Cities of thoZuyderZeo, there
will bo a "naval review" of all the purious
fishing craft whioh ply on the Dutch In
land waters, and many of which retain
among their fisher people the antique
dresses worn by them for centuries. At
tho Castle of Mulden, a little south of Am
sterdam, thesplendld old brickwork walls
will enclose an exhibition of old furniture,
old pictures and old relics of the greatest
days of Uiis stronghold, -and its ancient
private harbor will be reopened.
On the other hand the strictly cente
narian aspect or the celebrations will be
preserved by the exhibition at an old
country Beat on the Amstel or the progreH
of woman In tho hundred years by means
of a series of rooms representing tho
social and industrial life of woman from
1813 through tho nineteenth century.
Many other exhibitions iiro dlvMblo
Into one of two classes, cither those which
relate to somo astiect of Dutch Industrial,
agricultural and eoouomio progress or
which' portray scenes from Holland's
history, or whioh combine both. Agri
culture and horticulture naturally loom
large. Haarlem, with its enormous
show of byacluths und tulips In the
spring j Boskoop with Its .irjo.ooi) ' roos
in June : Devonter, Breda, Ryswyk
and Tho Haguo with agricultural and
horticultural exhibitions on a large
scale. Tho Haguo will liave tho largest ;
Breda ono of, tho most interesting, for it
will show-the methods by which Holland
is reclaiming her heather wasto land.
Of the industrial exhibitions Tllburg will
ha,ve tho largest, almost international In
size, and olhora will lio held at Sittard,
Gouda, Oroningen and Zwolle,
There are to be, morcovor, soverul
Dutch art shows. Tho stately town of
Utrecht Is collecting what will provo nn
unexampled exhibition of the Dutch
primitives;, Haarlem will supplement Its

LACKED REAL EXPERIENCE.
Lord llnlilane Tell- llnvr lip Hrrniar
Mlnlltrr ot War.
Lonpon, Oct. 23, Talking at Rrlst.il
1'nlverslty tho other day Lord Haldane
gave the following account of How '
became Minister for War. As, at the
time, he had absolutely no pxpprlqnce
of things military, it dors not suggpst
much serious consideration for the army
on the part of the Kngllsh Prime Min
ister at the time.
"Seven yenrs ago," said Lord H-ildane,
"when u new Ministry was being
formed, the late Sir Henry Campbell
Rannerman sent for me and suggested
one or two offices. I replied to him.
'There Is another office I should Ilk;.
I do not know much about It, but It
Is full of the most fascinating prob
lems.' Sir Henry nskpd. 'What IS
that?' I answered, 'The War Office
Is It full?" Sir Henry exclaimed. 'Full'
No one will' touch It with a pole,'"
Lord HnWnne went on to descrlbo
how he found at the War Office a num
ber of young Generals with their minds
full of the shortcomings of the Rrltlsh
army, because they were fresh from
the South African war, while hp himself
was a layman, who scarcply knew the
distinction between a battalion and a
brigade. They "sat down to think together."
