Report has it {that he offered $5,000,000 for the pro- j |perty in 1897 and that his offer was scotnfully refused by the Walter family. The Times was founded in 1786 by John Walter, a bookseller and pub- lisher at Chating Cross, but it was first known as The Daily Universal Register. The title in 1788 became The Times and Daily Universal ter, and in & short time the double title became The Times. When John Walter, the founder, died in 1812, ines was firmly established as lesddirig newspaper of the day. next Swiss yaa John A Wali Je improved the paper greatly ntro- duced steam printing presses in 1814. For years and years The Times continued to grow in § rtance and increase in prosperity. Its enterprise astonished the world. #ts influence was potent wherever it chose to exer- |cise it, its eriticisms tremendously feared. An instance of its power was given during the Oriméan war, when Dr. William Howard Russell, who had | been gent to the front, so sharply eriti- | cized the mismanagement of the Brit ish Sampaigh and was so stoutly back- ed up by his paper that a great sen- sation was caused throughout the country. In those days, when the is r was under the editorship of Col. ane, it was said that The Times could make peace or war at will. An example of The Times' success in procuring news ahead of all its competitors was exhibited in its pub- lication of the Berlin treaty in "7877, =| Henri Georges Stephen de Blowitz was the Paris correspondent of The Times and a. sent i Berlin specially 3 | report Berlin congress, in whi Bismarck, Disraeli, Lord Salisbury A : the ; put up at 3 , on the Unter den Linden, and struck up a friendship with the secretary of M.

By this means and the Nelp of- a diploniat, whose name 'he would never divuige, the as tute correspondent obtained the text of the whole sixty-four articles and then only wanted the preamble to make a copy of the treaty correct. i He went to M.

Thiers {refuséd to do this, but said that he {would recite it for him, which he did {in a slow, distinct voice, and Blowitz | rushed 'home with it in his head and !wrote the preamble without mistake.

Young Gen- ille and thé other officers were prac- tically alone on board for several weeks. 1 ; He left the navy, and enlisted in a Highland regiment, changing into a eavalry regiment.

Strong winds, storms, and gales, accompan- ied frequently by very heavy rains, constantly occur the year in and the year out. As a result, the life- boats of the Royal National Lifeboat Institution were ealled out for ser- vice unusually often, and were for- tunately the happy means of rescu- ing hundreds of men, women, and children from a watery grave on the coasts of 'the United Kingdom. The heaviest gales of the year 1907 occur. red on the I0th-21si February and the 13th-14th December. On the first oceasion 18 lives were saved, 18 life- boats being launched; whilst during m ale 23 lifeboats were times, in addition to ews were assem in readiness for ser- vice on 38 occasi when. their help required. ves saved in 1007 Sir Gepille was only the second | afterwards ex- | help, got him out of the danger | THE DAILY BRITISH WHIG, FRIDAY, JANUARY 31, 1908. URIVERSITY TO PIE PEN. Classmate of King Edward VII. Dies | i a Pauper. | Once a classmate of King Edward | at Oxford, Charles Frederick Powell, { known as "the Melrose hermit," a 'man of education and refinement, | who, made a tramp through remorse for a blow he struck his father, has | ' been identified at the Melrose hospi- ' tal, where he died a pauper. Identifi- | i cation .was made by Mrs. Barbara Lynd of Dorchester, with whom he | boarded up to two years ago. He was taken to the hospital from | a piggery, where he. was found ill | among swine. Pneumonia had him in' its grip, and from it he never ral- | 'lied. In life he loathed children, and | i when one of them approached the | | cave int which he dwelt in' Middlesex | { fells he growled and so contorted his { features that he spread ferror among | fall those of the neighborhood. Yet | | but for a child he would have died among the hogs, for one of them while | passing heard his groans and called | assistance, 4 i No man was better known by sight ito the residents of that section of | Melrose than "the hermit." He was | | not, however, known by name to any | {of them. When he died the hospital + | authorities were obliged to do econ- | | siderable investigating before they | {learned who he was. i His life story, which he has told |, {in fragments to Mrs. Lynd and to | Mrs. George Beckford of Melrose, was | as strange as anything found im fie- | tion. According to what he told them, 'he was born in Plymouth, England, | fifty-seven years ago and in his early { lite was surrounded by every com- iforf and luxury, He was sent fo | school until he reached manhood, | when he matriculated at Trinity Col- lege, Oxford. The Prince of Wales, imow King Edward VII. of England, | was a member. of his class at Trinity, | where he himself sang in the choir | and often appeared in solos to which | the young prince was a listener. ¢ did not complete his course at Trinity, he told the women, because of trouble he got into with the school authorities, but he later studied at a | German university, whither he was { sent by his father, who at that time | | lived in Liverpool, and it was there | { that he finished his education. While | { he was in Germany his father married | i a second wife. When he returned to | his home he and his stepmother had a violent quarrel. is father inter fered and took his wife's part, a fact that so enraged the son that he rais- ed his hand to his parent and struck a blow which felled him. For that act, he often said, he nev- er forgave himself. He turned from his father's house, and, going at once to the docks, he took passage to America. He never afterward heard from either his father or his step- mother, That was twenty-six years ago, and whep he arrived in this country he tried his hand at various occupations, finally becoming a sign painter, When he lived at the home of Mrs. Lynd in Dorchester he appeared like any other workingman, except that when those in the house came to know him they learned that his edu- cation was far beyond that possessed many workers. He knew the best liternture and could quote Virgil by the hour. He read books in Greek, in German, in French and in Italian. He was well posted on polities both in this country and in Europe, and knew the history of most public men. i | i Ancestry of the Donkey. Prof. Ewart, speaking at the Albert and Victoria Museum, South Kens- ington, England, on the subject of the "Ancestry of Asses and Zebras," said nothing was known of the ancestry of these species. Wild asses were | probably at one time found in Eu- | rope, but they were now entirely con- | fined to Central Asia. The Nubian ass, from which our domestic ass was derived, was a much taller ani- mal than the donkeyp-ol the present day, the donkey having by ill-treat ment been reduced to its present size. The mule, the hybrid between the horse and donkey, had in one in- | stance been known to live two or three times longer than a horse, and | to require only half the food of the horses, while doing fully double the work. There was no evidence that there ever were zebras in Europg; and they did not appear to crossed the Nile. he stripes of the zebra were intended fof protection Kom lions and Skbex animals, and t was a curious Iact that even ins nei light it Wai sometimes So] sible to See & Jebra at a short dis | - | have ever { In mgdnlight one could go right up | to & bird of them before they became visible, They had a curious faculty Ut standing absolutely . still and breathing very quietly.
