Ho had charge jftu of tho cntcrtnlnlng of tho bluoJacketB nnd ho I tfPSsi acquitted himself royally. In addition to din- kJ ncrs and balls In tho city ho took them for a 0 jfy two-days' trip Into tho Interior nnd Bhowed them J 1,10 ,lllturnl wonders that hnvo mado Now Zoa- &tj3w3&- . r land known throughout tho world, ujp-- " L Ho had tho American admiral stir up n J$&S ' YK sleeping geyser with n enko of sonp, nnd ho hnd ' lJmf' V tl10 tnr8 1)C01) lnt0 1,10 blaz,"g n,t which tho t Maoris hnvo nlways regarded as tho plnco of I i&6m ItWa Ilnal torments. Ho showed thorn tho most -socialistic government In tho world, n country In which nt tho polls ns well ns In tho courts woman hns tho samo rights ns man, and tho Marol stands on tho snino plnno with tho whlto man. And no man Is better ablo to point out nnd explain tho things of Interest In that most Interesting country than Premier Ward, for ho has been in politics nearly all his life, knows every foot of tho country nnd is versed in nil Its problems. Sir Joseph is n typical ICngllshninn In appearance, tall, stout, with a largo, well-shaped head and wldc-opon eyes. Ho is very ordinary In his nppenrnncc nnd would Impress ono as a successful business mnn with n kindly nnturo nnd a genial manner. It wns for very meritorious services thnt ho was mado a baronet. It wns In acknowledgment of his powers as nn entertainer, for ho wns prcmlor when tho duko and duchess of Cornwall visited New Zealand and It was his place to rccclvo them. And ho took Just ns great pains In otv tcrtnlnlng tho Amerlcnn tnrs ns ho did when ho had sprigs of royalty ns 1 guests. Sir Joseph Is 51 years of ngo nnd Is still In tho prlmo of Mf. 1 LATE TURKISH AMBASSADOR I J I Mehmod All Hey, tho Turkish nmbassndor to the United Stutcs, who hns Just been unccro- jJp5gH nionlously dumped out of his position by nn rS" order from Constnntlnople, Is n victim of chnnco, r "8l aB II0 was ,avored of thnt goddess when LwitfS&V "o received appointment. For Mehtned All Hoy $S5?5-y' K9 wnB mndo nmbassndor through tho Influence ol M"- ,lls ra'hor, Izzct Pasha, who was privato Becrc- i&f wiy lary ,0 1110 8,,1,an n,ul ono of ''Ih most trusted Li&iFvsL W7r 1,11,1 mllllcnt,nl ndvlsers. It Is an eloquent lllus- i M trntlon of tho whirligig of tlino thnt even while tx'mWt tl10 Bon '8 rccnUei1 by his government nnd, pre- SwW'ftj sumnbly, reduced to tho ranks, his father Ih yfjSST M(lll, declared nt this moment to bo hidden In mi!- Now York a ragltlvo from Justico nnd sought WmWbW'lM by tho "Young Turkey" lenders In Gothnm, who bated blm during tho sunny days when his word was n potent Influence with tho sultan. Not that Alchmod All wns unfitted for his position. Ho Is a mnn of culture cul-ture and ranked high In tho diplomatic corps, nlthough only 3G yenrs old. He was ono of tho chief counselors of tho foreign olllco nt homo boforo coming to Amorlcn. Ho is much moro liberal In bis vlows than wero most of his predecessors. His fnther, Izzct Pasha, Is declared by tho Turkish revolutionists In Now York to bo nt this moment hidden somewhere In thnt city, with a great share of his fortune nnd nn interpreter who speaks perfect English and who scrcont his master from observation. Mundjl Hey, Into Turkish consul gcncrnl tc New York nnd named to succeed tho nmbassndor as chnrgo d'affaires, nnd who Is In sympathy with tho "Young Turkish" movement, Is positive that tho former "boss" Is In that city, nnd that ho will bo discovered. Just what would bo likely to happen to the pasha if tho revolutionists should find him first Is n matter for speculation. SEEKS FOLK'S PLACE S1 I William S. Cowherd, who rocelved a plu rality of tho votes lu tho primary ns Domocrntlc cnndldato for governor of Missouri, will havo to fight for his placo on tho ticket In tho courts of the Btate. Walter Ball, who landed second in tho running, has stnrted a contest, nnd hns placed boforo tho prosecuting attorneys of three counties evidence tending to show thnt ninny of tho ballots cast for Cowhord wero fraudulent. Ono peculiar feature of tho campaign which closed with tho primaries was tho fact that Cowhord secured his plurality In tho three cities of St. Louis, Kansas City and Springfield. Every other county in tho entire stato went heavily '( ngnlnst Cowherd, yet ho piled up such enormous lA majorities in the three cities named that ho overcame tho advorso lead and had soveral thousand votes to spare, nccordlng to tho returns. Cowhord Is 48 years old, n nntlvo of tho cob-plpo stato and a lawyer. He has practiced law in Kansns City over slnco his graduation from tho stato university, uni-versity, except when ho wns too busy playing tho gamo of politics. His political career may bo said to have commenced with his appointment ns nsslstnnt prosecuting attorney In 1883. From that position ho went to tho city counselor's olllco as first nsslstnnt, was mayor of Kansas City for two years nnd served In congress for olght years, retiring In 1005 nt tho request of his district. In tho rccont campaign ho was credited with tho support of United States Sonntor William J. Stono, himself n cnndldato for ro-elcctlon. Hnll, Cowherd's strongest opponent, wns said to havo tho backing of Gov. Folk. Tho latter has been asked to send tho attorney-gonoral of tho stato to Kansas City and St. Louis to nsslst the local prosecuting departments In tho search for crookedness In tho primaries, but tho executive has Intimated that ho does not conBldor It tho plnco of tho stato officials to tako any active part In nny such lnvestigntion, but rnther to leave tho wholo Investigation In tht lunula of tho locnl officers. TO DIRECT NEW THEATER I Donald Itobertson, who Is to bo director ot ifIS. 11,0 now ,nun,clI,al theater experiment In Chi- j2VV cngo, is equally well known as an nctor nnd n cT manager. Ho has from tho incoptlon of tho ( s Chlcngo Idea been nn nrdont supporter of tho Kfc, irfP- v9l experiment, and it will be carried out upon his IflS 1 ovvn llnoa- msJj s- 7 There Is llttlo similarity between tho now w wV rv thenter project In Now York nnd tho municipal W v fes. l'lnyhouso In Chicago. The former Is essentially wSrvScT Ihm n nr,vato enterprise, founded by n group of JSsi JjJiM wenull' mo wl'o, seeing tho need of nn un- syffiffiztyr m IMi trammeled stngo for tho perpetuation of the Wwfiwn i-i JJI Irlllfjll c'as8lc drimn, banded thcmsolves together, fur-iMMJymlli fur-iMMJymlli n,ahe(1 tho monoy to put up a magnificent build-WfMA4iflillilllik build-WfMA4iflillilllik ing, and nnnounced a scnlo of prices In keoplng with tho superior quality of tho entortnlnment offored. Tho Chlcngo Idea, however, is mainly educational, and contemplates tho prcsentntlon of n series of classic plays by n capnblo stock company for no ndmlsslou foo whatever. Tho Chlcngo Institution will bo In n senso a municipal mu-nicipal project, occupying by assignment n municipal building. It has boon arranged to presont n senson of 30 weeks of dramntlc offorlngs In Fullcrton hall, an adjunct of tho Chlcngo Art institute, with performances on Tuesday ovenlng of each week. The season will begin with tho last week In Soptembor, nnd tho Itobertson players will offer In hlstorlcnl perspective pieces from the classic German, Spanish, Scandinavian, Italian, Fronch nnd Amorlcan plnywrlghts. Tho financial burden of the wholo nrtlstlc experiment will bo assumed by tho dlrcctois and members of tho Art Institute, who number num-ber about 2,500 peoplo, and ndmlsslou will bo restricted to tho membership until tho demand from that Hold la satisfied, Tncldentnlly, tho municipal theater In Chicago will not be a placo of anuise-nent anuise-nent no light cleverness nor frothy music no suporflclnl problom plays nor ketehy reviews. Ilathcr, It Is to bo heavy, heavy to the verge almost of pedantry, with the Iden ot educating tho publlo tasto rather than entering to It |
