face. There is nothing-to'bu ashamed
of in such >1 visage. It is a strong face,
clean cut, with a fighting jaw, a gen

keen gray eyes.
When Henry Orndy attained his high
place among the publicists of his time
it seemed that every young man. in
Georgia tried to look as much like
Grady as barbers and tailors could
make them. They talked, ns well as
they could, as he talked; they told his
stories, imitated his style of writing
nnd adopted his peculiarities of gait
nud gesture. Then came Ben Tillman,
who made the wool hat the testVof
statesmanship in South Carolina, and
only a few years ago all the country
.over the cowboy type was the accepted
type of the man who would die for Ills
country.

The ■ venerable Shelby M. Culiom. of
Illinois und Uncle Joseph Cannon have
acquired not a little distinction in the
public .eye because it has been claimed
that they ‘-‘look exactly like Abraham
Lincoln."
Tile portraits of many of the elder
statesmen of this country represent
them in dress and face as belonging to
n very distinct type of the genus homo.
There are a few survivors of that older
period, aud if Sulzer’s clothes should
be put on the marble effigy of Heur.v
Clay, which stands in the little pagoda
on the capltpl grounds in Richmond,
not even Job Hedges could pass by
without lifting his hat and snying.

surance Act.
Berlin.—German actors nnd actresses
have handed a petition to-the federal
council through the German Stage so
ciety to release them, from one of the
requirements of the new imperial In
surance act whereby they must give
their ages. ,
The players say they m visit guard
their nges as a professional secret es
pecially the women, who declare they
could not get engagements in many in
stances if required to tell the truth
about how many summers have passed
over their heads.
The Stage society first pleaded with
the state insurance department but
the. officials .were obdurate, and the
matter hus now gone to the highest
authority in the empire.
The new insurance act. by which
many categories of emplhyees besides
actors have been added to the ranks
of those who must compulsorily Insure
agalnBt old age, sickness and infirmity,
goes into force next year.

Bestowal of Victoria Cross For Rela

of Mrs. Disraeli.
Loudon.—It was officially announced
that the king bml been pleased to grant
to Mrs. Rt. F. Scott the same rank,
style und precedence as if her husband
had been nominated a knight com
mander of the Batll. as ho would have
been had lie survived.
The honor thus done to Captain
Scott's memory i;ecolvos the warm ap
proval of the newspapers, some of
which had given support to the sug
gestion that tiie explorer's widow
should receive -a title'. As a knight's
widow Mrs. Scott will henceforth' be
known ns Lady Seott.
Although thu king rarely exercises
blit prerogative to bestow a title upon
a woman. Mrs. Scott Is not the first
thus honored. The most celebrated In
stance of a woman' receiving a title
was In 1801, when Sir Ralph A her-
cromby died from. wounds after the
battle of Alexandria.' A few months
later Ills widow was created a baron

of Sir John Alexander Macdonald,
prime minister of Cannda. Both these

Numerous instances are also found

the wife of the elder Pitt Baroness

was created Viscountess Disraeli eight
years before ber husband became Hurl

many occasions received Victoria

Died Rather Than Chop Wood.

aged fifteen, shot himself. The boy

A Jack of All Trades.
Brockton, Mnss.—Fred E. Lndd, just
admitted to the bar, has already been
licensed as a physician, dentist nnd
oculist nnd has worked for twenty*
eight years as a shoemaker,
was that the authorities had not giveii
him notice of their phiu early In the
evening, so that Ue might have re
mained up 1 and been ready, lie took
his time about dressing and preparing
for removal such things us he had
brought with him to the palace. It
was consequently some minutes after
11 o’clock when the party went out to
get into tho two u'litomohlfbs that
were waiting In the courtyard.
Even then, as the tale of Major Car
denas runs. Mniiero showed not the
slightest concern' or pruniouitlon of
treachery. As though he wore still
clothed (with the authority of the pres
idency, when he was about to eutei
the car set aside for him and Suarez
be gave orders that he should he tnk
en to the penitentiary by way of Re
loj nnd Lecuinbeni streets.
This order figures In the alibi of the
government, which holds that friends
of Mndero tried to rescue him. Major
Cardenas says that the route deslgnnt
ed by Mqdero hud been decided upon
previously, but when Mndero blinselt
chose it lie told the divers of the an
tomoblles to take a different route
They did not come Into thecae chosen
by Mudero until they were within two
blocks of the penitentlnry. when they
considered themselves safe from moles
tntlon.
On crossing the railroad bridge, how
ever, they found that the Maderlst
plotters, as the government holds them
to be. had been bolder than bud been
imagined. The machines hnd barely
passed over the railway bridge on its
approach to the prison when five men.
lying prone at the roadside, fired upon
them. The chauffeur slowed down bis
car ns though to halt, but was ordered
to put on all speed nnd run through
the attacking pnrty. He did so, but
when the cars were within 200 yards
of the penitentiary a larger band open
cd fire upon them. Major Cardenas
then ordered the machines to stop, Tho
escort descended and returned the fire.
Major Cardenas asserts thnt Maden*
and Suarez, seeing thnt their escort
was outnumbered and was apparently
busy in beating off the attacks of thg
