Speaker of the last Kanaa House of Rep
resentatives, has returned from Er-cland,
where ho wis sent by the trustees of tho
Kansasi Wesleyan University to investigate
ths inheritance of tho Reverend T. H.
James and to find Mr. James hime1f.
Mr. Barnes returned to Kansas two days
after Judge Osborn sailed from New York.
Judge Osborn believes that Mr. James has
been made tho dupo of English attorn cs
who wanted to get a fee from him.
"I could find no trace of any fortuno for
the James family." Judge Osborn sild to
day. "I found tho plica In Liverpool where
ho boarded and from tho description given
of his condition by ths woman who kept
the boarding-house, I believe that he hid
been drugged. She said ho seemed drowsy
all the time.
"Two persons called to see him. One was
Ms brother, but tho other was a stranger. It
Is my theory that this other man had some
thing to do with James's Illness. I bellfvo
that h' was drugged and his mony taken
from him."
The Reverend Mr. Jones assured himself
that wealth was coming to him and an
nounced girts to several colleges, among
them the Kansas Wcslejan Colle?o. Aft.r

Into grape srusar in exactly tho amo metn

and tang exposure to ajafleraio vrjrmuu
which crows the diastase in the grains and
makes the remarkable change from !tarcn

helped him a great deal.
It Is declared that the Countess, formerly
MUs Anna Gould, has tired of putting up
monev for the Count, and that her purse
s'trings will not be again relaxed. This was
stated by Figaro In a recent Issue. Figaro's
declaration Is alio borne out by the fact
that, notwithstanding the Count's strait
ened circumstance.!, the Countess goes on
scattering her money -with a lavish hand.
Besides tho Countess's donations to chari
ty, she has recently made a gift to the
city of Paris which will perpetuate her
name for many decades This gift is a
be-xutlful building to take the place of the
Charlte Bazar, which burned in 1S37, with
a loss of 125 lives.
Tho French Government has also con
ferred a distinct honor upon the Countess
and her husband by designating them as

him to bo very learned and affable. The
stranger said ho was from San Francisco
on his annual vacition. Mr. James ex
pressed the hope to his wife that he would
see a ereat deal of the Episcopalian while
In Liverpool, adding that his new-found
friend evinced great interest in tho James
fortune.
Jatnes was not heard from again until
July. His family and friends cabled to Liv

11 he reappeared in Sallm. without a word
of notillc.ition of ills coming.
He appeared to be drugged. He could not
remember where he had been or that he

Phvslcians were consulted and the clergy

tho extent of remembering tho friend from
California, his arrival at Southampton fhid
later at Liverpool, but from that time his
mind was blank.
Speclilists in Kansis City said ho had
been given some powerful drug. His condi

An attempt was miilo by the authorities
to locate the California clergjman. A de

like Action Ho was born in 1S51 in Liver
pool, Englind, where his familv had long
been cM-iuli&hed. SKty J ears ago his
grandf ither owned a largo estate in tho
then suburbs of Liverpool, which jielded a
handsome revenue. The grandfather. It is
said, made a will setting aside the income
from the estate to bo reinvested year after

that the accumulated revenue should be
then divided among the living heirs. Tho
estate Itself, being entailed, passes to the
oldest malo representative of the family.

When Mr. James was 10 years old he ran
away from home and shipped as a cabin
boy on the sea. He liked the life and be
came a sailor, returning occasionally to
Liverpool.
At length he married in Liverpool and at
tempted to settle down. Children were
born to him and his wife, but the fascina
tion of the -ea was too strong for him, and
again lie shipped beforo the mast. He wa3
gono for many months. When he returned
ho found that a scourge had visited Liver
pool and his wife and children had been
swept awav.
Tho stricken man left Liverpool Again
he went to sea. He determined to go to
Australia, shipping by waj of New York.
When ho reached New York ho determined
to cross the United States and ship again
from San Francisco instead of sailing
"around tho Horn." Ho had not money
enough to carry him all tho way across the
continent, but ho went as far as his money
would take him, which was Rico County,
Kansas.
There was a big harvest in progress.

He was converted. So great was the
change in him that he determined to be

studying, and a short time afterwards was
granted a license to preach. Then ho joined
the Northwest Kansas Methodist Confer
ence, and for the last seven year he has
been a minister of the gospel. In the
meantime he has married again and now
has two children.
Mr. James said nothing about thu great

of tho trustees of his fortune and an
nounced his intention to endow tho univer

four chalra with $25,000 oach. If tho trus

other improvements.
An investigation was made, and tho tnw

In addition to this, Mr. James has ex
pressed tho Intention of leaving a. largo
amount of his property for tho permanent
endowment of the Kansas Wesleyan, and It
is claimed that beforo his departuro for
Encland he left a will to this effect. It Is
supposed that this will also provides for
benefactions in connection with the other
institutions which he has had in mind.
A few months ago Mr. James was sick

an's speech was the first of the series, but
beforo he was heard tho assembly, at tho
suggestion of Judgo M. V. Cannon, adopted
an address, from which tho following Is an
extract:
"Within tho year freedom has received
desperate blows at the hands of the na
tions who claim to be wedded to Liberty,
and we regret to say that tho foreign pol
icy of our own American Republic has ex
hibited a deslro on tho part of our Gov

tory, which Is tho distinguishing mark of
the nation that throttled Liberty upon thl3
continent, burned its Capitol at Washing
ton, destrojed Its archives and set the mer
ciless Indian savages upon defenseless
women and children, scalping, burning and
dcstrojlng them
"Wo aro unalterably opposed to anv al
liance, tacit or open, with anv European
monarchy, particularly ours and America's
bitter foe, and shall resist In every practical
and legal way tho imposition of imper.allsm
and militarism upon a people consecrated to
freedom: and In this spirit, and with an
abiding trust in tho good sense and pa
triotism of the vast body of the American
people, we commit, as far as we may, the
fortunes of the Republic of America lo tho
strength nnd determination of citizens born
on American soli nnd aided b tho-e sons

Mr. Brjan ,poke as follows.
"I do not want jou to think that myihap

"The man whose happiness depends upon
what others do for him maj be doomed to
disappointment; but if one's happiness de
pends upon what he doe1 for others, ho
need not be disappointed. (Renewed ap
plause.) I hope jou will credit mo with tro
ambition that is within the reach of every
citizen of this land, an ambition which all
can entertain, and which, to my mind. Is a
higher ambition than that for any ollice,
and that Is an ambition to do wh it I can to
miko this nation so great and so good thit
to be a simple citizen would be greater than
to be a king in any other land. (Great ap
plause )
"1 am not hero this afternoon to flatter
your pride bv telling jou what thu de
scendants of Erin have accomplished. I am
not going to dwell upon the work of the
sons of Erin, because it would take nil the

what the daughters of Erin have also done.
(Laughter and applause) The work of the
Irishmen in the development of this coun

Mr. Brjan: "Mj friend has tried to In

"If jou want to know what militarism
means and what its burdens are, all jou
have to do is to ask a German who came
to this country to avoid the militarism of
the Old World. (Applaupe )
"And so I might go through tho various
experiences of other nntlons
"The fact that wc have here the repre
