Tha prior flrat led tha way to tha royal
palaoa, which occuplea that part of the

"In thla houae that I have built for God

Out thla wa not the limit of surprises In
thla wonderful temple, for In an outbuild
ing devoted to the physical axercleea of the
iuani or tn coleglo we found a small
but completely appointed bull ring, in
which private bull fight are given weveral
tlmea a year for tha benefit of the atudent
and their friend and masters.
I wn told that tha moat eminent espadaa
had performed In thla miniature ring, which
must not be confounded with the regular
bull ring In the village of Escurlal. I fancy
that bull fighting aa a part of the regular
curriculum of a university would astonish
even the most strenuous advocates of
manly sports. I could not help expressing
my astonishment to Oeneral Weyler nd
was agreeably surprised to hear him ex
press disgust at the whole thing.
"I never go to bull flghta," he aald. "I
love horses altogether too much."
Tlila from the man whom Americans call
the "Butcher"!
In tha midst of our Inspection a pause
wa made for lunch, which was served In
ths large and rather bare refectory, the
brothera altting at long table In the body
of the room, while the prior and his guests,
with a few privileged monks, occupied a
taDia on a raised platform at one end of
the apartment
I have often read of the severely simple
fare of monastic houses, but In no Spanish
hotel did I have the good fortune to par
take of such an excellent meal as that
served to us at the Escurlal. I did not
count the courses, but they were many,
and there were three or four kinds of wine,
the last being a most delicious Valdcpenas,
bottled expressly for the Escurlal Augua
tlnlana. During the meal many of the brothers
smoked cigarettes and tha conversation
waa animated, even boisterous, especially
at the end of the table where Father
Blanco sat. The prior talked mostly with
a dignified old colonel, as General Weyler'a
attention waa monopolised by a certain
Mella, editor of a Carllst newspaper, who
waa taking advantage of the opportunity to
present to the general, who was considered
to bs neutral as yet, hla political opinions.
Father Boniface and I had a Jolly time
together, and ha told mo a lot of goeslp
about the monastery and the politicians
who visited the Escurlal, for It Is a perfect
hotbed of politics. Weyler Is a favorite
there, aa he Is very religious. I noticed
that he did not emoke, and his son in
formed me that his father disliked It and
that he never smoked In his father's pres
ence unless others were already doing so.
We returned to Madrid in the evening,
after ona of tha most charming days I have
ever spent. The Escurlal Is a dreary and
forbidding pile, but what a Jolly lot of
monks there are Inside! Edward Breck In

PASSING OF SENATOR STEWART
Tha Nevada tateamaw and HI Cavraaa
Forecast of ieaat
Changes. .
t'pon the expiration of his term next
March, William Morris Stewart of Nevada
will leave ths United States senate. It
was thirty-nine years ago on February 1,
last, that this picturesque and Interesting
character first took hla seat as senator.
As a member of thnt body he attended
ths second inauguration of President Lin
coln, and la the only man living who at
tended those ceremonies as a senator. Ho
la the only man living who was present at
the Klrkwood house on the nlRht President
Lincoln was assassinated, and witnessed
Vice President Andrew Jackson take the
oath of office. He was a striking figure,
even In those days, and represented the
stalwart type of the western miner and
hustling lawyer. He was of fair com
plexion, with sandy hair and a sweeping
tawny board, which In later years became
white as snow and led to the little page
boy naming him "Santa Clau."
His service In the senate haa not been
continuous since he first entered It In
1868, but no other member of that body
can look back so far to tba data of his
first taking the oath. Senator Stewart Is
one of the argonauts of 1849. He began
his search for gold with pick and shovel
In Nevada county. California, and waa
fairly fortunate. He gave up prospecting
for the law. and laid the foundation of a
good fortune by his practice ln mining liti
gation. He achieved a reputation of being
an authority on mining law, and checks In
six figures occasionally reached him aa
compensation for successful handling of big
cases. He was elected as one of the first
senators from Nevada In lwt, and re
elected In m. At the end of his second
term In 1S75 he went back to the prac
tice of law In Nevada, and In 1887 he waa
again elected, and has been In the senate
ever since. ,
Politically Senator Stewart has been on
both aides of great financial questions.
He lost caste with the republicans shortly
sfter his re-entering the senate In 1887,
by espousing the free, coinage of silver
cause, antj became- ao persistent a cham
pion of that doctrine that he became
known aa "Silver Bill" Stewart. This
sobriquet was sometimes changed to the
"Crime of '73" Stewart. He supported
Bryan In 18M, although during his second
term In the senate In 1871-?, he had been
ona of the moat rampant gold bugs In that
body. When he first came to Washington
ha was known aa the "Silver King," and
was credited with having made an im
mense fortune out of that metal.
He earned notoriety by building what
was for yearn known aa "Stenrart'a .n."
on Dupont circle, then an undesirable com
mon on the outsklrta of the town, but at
present the very center of the fashionable
northwest section of the city; Recently
Senator Clark, the multl-mllllonalre of
Montana, purchased this property from
Senator Stewart and gave the latter fund
for a new start, which he Is said to have
needed very badly, as fortune had been
unkind to him for soma v.ir. nn..
Clark ha. torn down the "castle" where
otewart gained a reputation for lavish en
tertainment In Ua early davs of hla a.n.
atorlal career. Senator Stewart own. a
large dairy farm In Virginia, and proposes
to retire there when he lays aside his
senatorial toga.
The passing of so Interesting a senatorial
figure as Stewart, who will be 7T years of
age next AUKUSt. Calls attention fx .k.
great changes that are likely to occur in
mo Mimic in me next decade. Ten years
will probably see removed from public
life a goodly company of the most dis
tinguished members of that body, men
whose names have tieen household words
for a quarter of a ccnturv. Tha two
arable senators from Alabama cannot ex
pect to be in the chamber that much
longer. It does not seem noasihta ai.h..
that men like Hoar of Massachusetts, Piatt
of Connecticut, Allison of Iowa. Hale and
Frye of Maine, Proctor of Vermont, Cullom
of Illinois, Cockrell of Missouri. Teller of
oioraao, can remain Jn active public life
for another decade. To this number may
b added Quay of Pennsylvania and Piatt

STEINS FOR COLLEGE BOYS
Many Stadenla WTioae Thlrat Ian't Al
together for Knowledge
Will gay Amen.
A great many practical and successful
American bualness men are In grave doubt
concerning the value of a college education.
Tha consensus of opinion among seif-made
men seem to be tn favor of practical ex
periences as against tha theoretical knowl
edge obtained In universities.
On charge brought against university
training la the tendency of the atudent to
regard hmself ss a superior bilng end
hence his unwillingness to begin the piac
tlcsl work of life In a auboidinatc or minor
position. The university graduate, as view
by the hard-hearted, practical man of
affairs, has too much pride of caste; he
Is too exclusive, and what he nils akes
for admirable self-poise is regarded by his
critic as Indolence or Insolence.
These criticisms are not without founda
tion In fact, and at least one cause of unl-
verslty-bred haughtiness hns been revealed.
Educators ara Indebted to Prof. Edward
Meyer of the University of Berlin for the
discovery. According to thla distinguished
savant, upon whom the University of Chi
cago has Just conferred the honorary de
gree of LI.. P., American students do not
drink enough beer.
"Beer," says Prof. Meyer, "breaks down
the pride of caste, promotes sociability and
prevents a student from becoming lone
some. In Germany a student who doe not
drink Is not a student."
The herr -ofessor frankly admitted that
he had tic a steady and sincere drinker
of beer when a student and declared that
he would gladly repeat the experience.
This country already has done much to
wards Germanizing Its universities, but
they still lack the distinguishing features
of Heidelberg. Whatever the faculty may
think of the Implied suggestion of Prof.
Meyer, It will b hailed with delight br
thousands of students whose thirst Is not
altogether for knowledge. All the great
American universities have halls named In
honor of donors, but all of them lack that
great Institution of Gambrlnus. tha beer
hall, so essential, It seems, to a democratic,
education.
Here la a new field for the benefactors Of
universities and one that will Insure their
popularity with students.
When the beer hall shall be one of the
conspicuous edifices of learning upon the
college campus, then, If Prof. Meyer's logic
be not at fault, the excluslvcness and self
importance of the atudent will become a
thing of the past. Then may educators
hope to inculcate successfully the true "col
lege spirit" ot fraternity and democracy.
