It is a somewhat sin- gular coincidence that Sir Henry's| brother, Dr. James A Campbell, who has represented Glasgow University in Parliament since 1880, 1is numbered emong his political opponents, being a stanch Conservative. But he has never cut much of a figure in the House and seldom makes a speech there, which is rather fortunate for Sir Henry.

From the beginning of his career he was marked for advancement, but none of his warmest friends would then have ventured to predict that he would be- | come Prime Minister or even leader of | the House of Commons. He seemed | destined, rather, te figure among the | highly esteemed but distinctly second- | rate politicians whose claims to Cabi- net rank are recognized on condition | that, when the time comes for younger | men to press forward, they will uncom- | plainingly retire—either with or with- out a peerage. Campbell-Bannerman had been only three years in the House when Glad- | stope, who was noted for his capacity | for oficial business and the ease with | which he mastered dry details, made | him financial secretary of the War Of- | fice. Had it then been told of him that he would one day wear the thantle of | the great Liberal statesman he would | have treated the prediction with scorn- | ful laughter. He was wont to say that | even up to the last so overpowering was the personality of Gladstone that he never came into the presence of his great leader without a feeling like an awkward schoolboy in the presence of his master. Great men generally like to be treat- | ed with defcrence. Sir Henry’s attitude | towara his chief enhanced his chief's | good opinion of him. He was made financial secretary to the War Office | again in 1880 and stuck there for two vears. Then followed another two | years as secretary to the Admiralty. Taking the official task as it came, in- | dulging in no day dreams, eschewing | political eastle building, and just mak- ing the best of things, Sir Henry came | to be regarded as the best ali-round general utility man at the disposal of | the Government. | | SECRETARY FOR IRELAND. Then came a job which proved that | Bir Henry was something more than a 8ood emergency man. In the Irish troubles which followed the fall of Mr. Forster and the Phoenix Park murders, Sir Henry was meade Chief BSecretary for Ireland. Bir George Trevelyan had entered upon that office with'x splen- did shock of black hair and had re- turned in a short time bent and with his raven locks grizzled. Sir Henry's acceptance of the office | showed that he was not ‘afraid to risk {1 his life and his $250,000 a year, out of CELESTINS Natural Alkaline Water they do not contain VICHY which he got a vast amount of enjoy- ment. As T. P. O'Connor has acknowl- edged, the Irish Nationalists expected to find him an easy mark and set to work to make things as hot for him as they knew how, They soon bestowed upon him what was after all a title of honor, that of the “Scotch Sandbag,” for with angry surprise they found that on this wily Scot with a thorough- ly un-Scottish sense of humor they could make no impression whatever. While they raved against him he cracked jokes, not always particularly / good ones either, and simply went on doing his best. And that best was a good deal better than any of his prede- | cessors had done. That was because his common sense saved him from mak- ing the mistake of attempting too | much and turning things upside down. He held the office for one year, and | when he returned from Ireland he was | as chubby, rublcund and beamingly good-natured as ever, ready to tackle the next job that turned up. And the warm-hearted but impetuous Irish folk | who had tried their best to hate him | had grown to like him. WAR OFFICE FAILURE. | It was natural that when Gladstone formed his third Cabinet in 1886, he should reward his loyal and capable | follower with the important office of | Secretary of War. Campbell-Banner- man held the same office from 1892 to | 1895, the last year under Lord Rose- | bery’s administration. It was due to | the reluctance of Gladstone's and Lord | Rosebery’'s Governments to expend money on the army estimates that Sir | Henry’s department was caught short |on cordite and the exposure of the | deficlent supply of that death-dealing | explosive led to the overthrow of the | Government. As War Minister his chief achieve- ments were the introduction of the eight-hour day In army supply facto- ries and getting rid of the Duke of Cambridge as commander-in-chief. It is curfous to recall that on the very afternoon on which Sir Henry informed the House of Commons that the Duke had been bounced, he himself was dis- missed by that whiff of cordite. It didn’'t worry him a bit. He cracked a joke over the humorous irony of the coincidence and light-heartedly resign- ed himself to whatever might turn up. Everybody knows that he espoused the unpopular side in the Boer war. That made him Intensely unpopular with the majority, but having taken his line, he stuck to it. The stubborn resolution with which he stood his ground has won him a large measure of the respect and confidence which he ertjoys to-day. ‘While others took a middle course | and sought the favor of opponents, Sir Henry was content to be the champlon of the unpopular cause and to take the |risks. And his time has come. Re- | action has arrived in full tide, sweep- ing and overwhelming, and he rides on | the crest of the waves. KNOWN AS GOOD HOST, Greatness has come to him unsought. It has been thrust upon him. He f{s probably the only instance in British politics ef a statesman who has reach- ed the position of Prime Minister with- out the driving power of personal am- bition. Perhape his $250,000 a year is largely responsible for the lack of the quality which is deemed most essential to success In the political arena. Else- where fortune often bestows her best gifts on those who don't care for them. At one time Sir Henry’s mansion in Grosvenor Place, overlooking Bucking- ham Palace, was one of the most fa- mous political salons in London and the dinners given there were unimpeacha- ble, for gastronomy is one 6f the few things that C. B. takes seriously. But of late years the delicate health of Ledy Campbell-Bannerman (and there is no more devoted husband than the Premier) has prevented him from enter- taining on @& great scale. At Belmont Castle, his residence in Perthshire, which commands a fine View of the valley of Strathmore, friends and supporters frequently stay with him and they find him one of the most delightful of hosts, for he is a thorough man of the world and his conversation is sald to be much better than his speeches. Like his somewhat ascetic friend, John Morley, he finds his chief relaxation in French novels, —_—— ITALIAN LABORER WELD UP AND ROBBED OF $40 IN GOLD Anthony Cook, an Italian laborer living at the Hotel Aropo on lower Broadway, was held up by two masked men about 9:30 o’clock last night and robbed of $4¢ in gold.

For this very reason wish I had been born an American. Your dramatists have great opportunities, and when I come over again next fall I will make use of some of them. Perhaps I'll put Rockefeller into a play.” DR. HYDE TO FORM FOUR GREAT LEAGUES CHICAGO, Jan. 14—As a result of the present tour of Dr. Douglas Hyde, leader of the Gaelic League of Ireland, four great affiliated organizations are to be formed in the United States. The first of these will be launched in Chicago, announcement of the preliminary steps having been made to-day. New York, Boston and San Francisco will be the headquarters of the other three. The Chicago organization, final steps for the formation of which will be taken next week, will be the center of system- atic work throughout the Middle West. The New York branch will control local leagues in the Atlantic States, Boston those in New England and San Francisco those on the Pacific slope. Local leagues are projected for all cities and towns of any considerable size. The objects of the organizations will be the sending of money annually to the | Gaelic League of Ireland and the fos- tering in America of an Irish spirit among men of Irish birth and ancestry. Dr. Hyde will be in San Francisco early in February and the Pacific Coast Central League will be formed.

ST.

Give Oxygen to Save Life of Chicago Millionaire ————atin PATIED Discouraging Bulletin Is Is- sued by the Four Doctors Who Are in Attendance NEW YORK, Jan. 14.—Prepared to ad- minister oxygen as a .last expedient, the physiclans in attendance upon Marshall Field at the Holland House, as well the merchant’'s nephew, Stanley Fiel admitted to-day that Mr. Fleld's condi- tion was such that he had small chance of recovery. Drs. Riggs, James, Jane- way and Billings were at the bedside of the stricken merchant to-day, and to- night used their skill to prolong what seemed a futile struggle to save Mr. Field's life. The following bulletin was issued to- night at 10:45 o'clock; Mr. Field has lost ground du: and the outlook 1s lumvoflble.rm‘ A DR. WALTER B. JAMES, DR E. G. JANEWAY, DR. FRANK BILLINGS. Stanley Fleld would not give up hope. He has been constant in his attendance in the chamber where Mr. Field lies. Last night he sald that while his uncle's chances cof living were small there was always the hope that in the crisis for which they Bave all looked there would come a chance for the better. Apparatus to administer oxygen was taken into the apartment to-day. The physicians would make no statement that they were prepared to use it to-night, but the grave condition of the merchant makes it necessary to be prepared for any exigency which may arise. During the afternoon Mr. Field's con- ditlon was unchanged. It was gratifying to the physicians to know that he was conscious. He rested qufetly, accepted with a degree of resignation the attention of his physicians and nurses, and seemed to feel that there was reason to believe that he might recover. Dr. Billings was in constant attendance during the day, and in the early evening he took his watch at the bedside. The other physi- clans were present at intervals all night. —————— PART OF BURGLAR’S LOOT FOUND IN MASSACHUSETTS Jewelry and Bonds Amounting to Nearly Two Hundred Thousand Dollars to Be Uncovered. BROOKLINE, Mass., Jan. 14.—The un- earthing of two tin boxes of watches and Jewelry in Hammands Woods and identi- fication to-day of one of the watches which was stolen from the residence of Dr. Charles G.

CARLSBAD, N. M., Jan. 14.—Mrs. Mary Alken, who Iives ten miles west of Lake- wood, is under arrest here charged with having buried alive her eight-months-old boy last Sunday night and then built over the child a mound such as is thrown up by prairie dogs. ‘The first news of the awful fate of the infant was given out Monday morning at 11 o'clock, when Mrs. Aiken told a neigh- bor that a strange man appeared at her home the previous midnight and forcibly took the baby from her, saying he was going to kill it. She says the shock caused her to faint, and that when she re- vived she was too frightened and horrifled to leave her home sooner to report the crime. Nelghbors immediately began a search and found the new-made grave, about 300 yards from the house. There were no marks or bruises on the little body, and the condition of the lungs indlcate that the baby was buried alive. Mrs. Aiken’'s husband left Lakewood about a month ago and his present where- abouts s unknown. The theory has been advanced that perhaps the father re- turned in disguise and made away with his child.
