GLADSTONE AT "HOME, How the People of Hawarden Revere the Grand Old Man. From the New York Times. Liverroot, Sept. 26,—Almost all American tourists who land in Liverpool go direct to Chester, and the leisurely ones generally mak it the base of excursions to neighboring vil lages in Cheshire and North Wales, but whether or not they devote a whole day to such # small spot as Hawarden depends on the state of th» weather and the presence of the genius of the Place, not on the nature of the American tour- ist as we know him. Despite the beauty of an English park after rain (his kodak could never catch the transitory marvels of the green tints anyway), even despite the second rable condition of Mr. Gladstone's presence, bad weather generally keeps the globe trotter in his hotel at Chester. When I went to Hawarden in desperation at not having had any fine weather for the wock past and determining not to observe signs or seasons, it was pouring down as if there were no prospect of even an intermission. But the he were kinder to nonconformist Waice than I supposed. The rain ceased in the after- noon just in time for the snecess of the veariy events of the country side—the Hawarden flower and fruit show and the non-political speech of Mr. Gladetone—but only to double its vigor at the entrance of the queen into Wales on the morrow, On ac drizzle I found myself in the mornin stranger in a crowd of cottagers preparing the exhibits, and at no time in the day did I re nize any American by sight or sound. Acc ingly I “did” the sights aione. First in interest, of course, is the famous old church where every Sunday when be ie home one may hear Mr. Gladstone read the “le.« and at all times may find evidences in tom!« and tabiets that the place bas ever boon a cen- ter of sanctity toa long hne of Glynnes, the family of Mrs, Gladstone, one of whose ona, indeed, is the present rector, The second place of interest is the old castle of the same family From its restored tower the view stre from Beeston castle, relic of the border tests of a ruder age, situated on an isola crag in the east, neighboring to the mountu on the south and the ecast plains on the north; thence the eye passes over these low lands reaching toward Taverpool, on to the wet and new southwest, where Mr. Herbert Giadrtone's residence rises midway between the new b over the Deo, which his mother formaily op a few weeks ago, and the factories of « ware, which send “a little bit of the Welsh hills into every country in the world:” all types of the civilization of the coming generation. Perhaps it would not be carryin: the figme too far to say that at ourfect, belf way betwen these two extremes, lies the dwelung of btm who has done more than any other living man to bring about the transition between the age of force and the “Golden Year.” The park, in the center of which stand castle and raansion, while it has that general interest to A: which every ancestral estate must pow fers from its neighbor, Eaton park. t the duke of Westminster, which every visitor has just previously seen, ouly in the possili that some old oak (like that one, for instance, that I saw down a vista, freshly blasted by lightning) may be marked by the gods for fall- ing by the ax of the “Hawarden Woodu ‘The attractions of the place lie neither incl: nor castle nor park, but in the character of the people, and over them one personality dominates, They can talk of nothing Pat Mr. Gladstone or subjects connected with his family.

He told me, with a sad shake of bis head, that all forcigners spoke well of “Mawster” Gladstone; only among Englishmen could one be found to speak ill of him. Soon the band arrived and the people began to gather about the exhibits pitched in front of the new castle, About 3 o'clock Mr. and Mra. Gladstone came to look at the show. A knot of people followed them about and it was umus- ing to see how attentively they gathered up every expression let fall from Mr. Gladstone's lips and it on to less fortunate ones in the rear. One old lady who brushed against him re 4 with ecstasy the “‘beautifel smile” he beamed upon her.

But Mrs. Gladstone, loved as she is, wasa minor attraction, and before the lists wore tn- ished Mr. Gladstone appeared. dressed like a — in worn Scotch tweed. The crowd become impatient for him to begiu his cus- tomary talk. He took his seat at his wife's fect and fondled a pet dog. The lists then con- tinued.
