William Stamps Cherry of Chicago has Juki reached Purls after four years spent In heretofore unexplored wil ls of Africa, during which time ho gath ered much Information of historic and gcieiuinr inii-rmi, and took an active purt In the Faali oda exploit of MuJ. Marchand, which came near causing a war between France and Great Britain. MaJ. Marchand, It will be remem bered, took posses sion of a station on the Nile as an outlet on that river for the French possessions. Mr, Cherry was the leader of a second expedition organ ised In the French Congo, which fol lowed closely the one led by Marcli aud. Mr. Cherry on this trip took with him, besides supplies for the French, a steel river steamer In sections, and upon his arrival on the banks of the Nile supervised the steamer construction. The boat played an Important part In that In ternational episode, as the Intention of France was to use the steamer In establishing French domination over the lands bordering the Nile. On Ids return to the Congo country from Fashoda Mr. Cherry devoted a poitiou of 111., time to the exploration of the hitherto unknown Kitin region lying to the north of the Congo Free States and the French Congo country. The Klttu region is far removed from the part of Central Africa with which Henry M. Stanloy made the world familiar. It Ir, expected that Mr, Cher ry will bring hack considerable Infor mation of the social life and Industries of a people never before visited by a white man. The young Chicagoan also I J WILLIAM S. CHERKY, traveled over equatorial Africa, to cor iwt any misleading information about that country. He has taken many photographs of types of the various African tribes and also added largely to a collection of curios sccured«on hU first trip to Africa. Mr. Cherry was accompanied on Ida latest trip by Chari* a II McCltntock of Chicago. About a year after tlmlr ar rival In the French Congo Mr. McClln to* k succumbed to African fever.

(Former Premier or England Is to Publish a Hook on Napoleon.) articles have been preserved in book form. The earl, however, has marked liter ary talent, and his friends predict a success for his work on Napoleon on its own merits. Rosebery Is a deep student. He was an amateur actor of much ability and a fine raconteur. Still he Is not a sociable man in the usual acceptance of the term. On his great estate at Mentmore he leads a lonely life, foud of receiving friends and ac quaintances at certain tines, but usu ally quite content to .sit alono with his books, with his writings and his plans. It Is, Indeed, a characteristic fact of his life that now nnd then ho runs up to London on a Sunday, be cause Loudon on a Sunday Is often the quietest and most deserted of solitudes.
