TWO Americans, George Kietler, of
Philadelphia. and William J.
Glover, of Blkton, Maryland, are
now preparing for an attempt at the blue
ribbon feat of natation, swimming the
English Channel, an undertaking fit for
& Leander. and which, although many
have tried, has been only once accom
plished. They are not working together. In fact
their ventures are entirely separate.
Klstler is getting ready In Philadelphia,
the funds for his trip are being raised by
the University of Pennsylvania students,
at which Institution he is instructor in
swimming.
Glover, accompanied by Carlisle D. Gra
ham, will get ready by practicing in the
strong currents of the St. Lawrence
River, where he thinks are more nearly
duplicated than anywhere in the world
the conditions that prevail in the narrow
stretch of water that separates England
from France. .
These two men are undoubtedly the
best distance swimmers in the United
States, and both have the endurance and
courage which are requisite to the great
task. , 9
It is only about 20 miles across the
channel, and a good swimmer could navi
gate the distance without difficulty but
for the perverse currents, which put it
out of question for even a big ship to
pursue an absolutely straight course.
When Captain Matthew Webb won un
dying fame by swimming the channel
way back in 187S, it was estimated that
he had covered not less than 40 miles in
his trip between Dover and Calais.
Klstler Is now 43 years old, but he is
still a magnificent athlete, tall and blest
with a chest that can be the reservoir for
an Immense supply of air.
His best known feat was his swim on
the Delaware River, between Philadelphia
and Chester and return. He accomplished
this In 11 hours, a distance of 32 miles, on
the day that Czolgosz shot President Mc
Klnley. He can swim with his hands and

rection of the "Provincial" of St. Louis.
Thu selection of Archbishop Ryan to
officiate at his ordination was made
before he entered the order of Jesus
by his mother, who was a close friend
of the archbishop when he was acting
as bishop coadjutor to Archbishop Ken
rick, of St. Louis. Mrs. Sherman's ef
forts for the advancement of the Ro
man Church in the United States, es
pecially among the Indians, were so
noteworthy as to draw a special com
mendation from Pope Leo XIII., who
conferred a decoration of great signifi
cance upon her.
At 52 Father Tom Sherman suggests
his fighting father in figure, In gesture
and in facial expression. He has no
parish and holds no prPerty the lat
ter is true of all Jesuit priests and do
votes a good deal of his time to hold
ing special services in various cities. In
March of the present year, only a few
weeks before he began to retrace his
father's footsteps over the route of the
famous "March to the Sea," he ad
dressed such a series of meetings held
In St. Patrick's Cathedral, New York.
The sermons in that series were re
markable addresses, full of spiritual
power. The first one was an appeal for
belief in the Deity: Its quality was al
most purely Intellectual, and so com
pletely without a tinge of the creed of
bis own church that, as one auditor
said, it could have been listened to
with approval by Baptists, Methodists,
Presbyterians, or the members of any
of the Protestant denominations.
His voice is a high baritone, and
though, from the sise and characteris
tics of that structure, the cathedral is
a difficult place to speak in, he filled it
completely every evening during his
tay. Hig auditors included many non
Catholics nightly, and the size of his
audiences increased to the last, though
little mention of the meetings was
made In the public press.
General Sherman's son, P. Teeumseh.
is a lawyer of standing in New York.
Sons of Writing Men.
Few sons of famous literary men
have sought to follow in their father's
footsteps, and still fewer have trod the
path that leads to success in letters.
The son of William Cullen Bryant, the
poet, bearing the same name as his
Illustrious father, is a successful news
paper man, but entirely without liter
ary aspirations. The son of Oliver
Wendell Holmes has shown that blood
will tell by winning a place on the
bench of the United States Supreme
Court, and his ieRal opinions are said
to indicate unusual literary skill as
well as legal acumen, but he has never
offered either prose or poetry to the
reading public.
Justice Holmes was a fighting man In
the Civil War and w wounded three
times, pretty good evidence that he is not
feet tied for 10 miles, so there is no
danger that cramp will ever Incapacitate
him.
Klstler is going to make his start from
the Admiralty Pier, Dover, whence Webb
plunged into the sea 31 years ago.
Klstler has Invented a head mask, with
which he will protect himself from the
effects of the sun and salt water.
He will also plentifully anoint himself
with oil to reduce the friction.
Glover has performed some notable
feats, including his race through the
Niagara Rapids with Carlisle D. Graham,
whom he defeated. He is a younger man
than JClstler, and like the Philadelphian.
has a deep chest and is powerfully
muscled.
Should either of these .men succeed be
will not only win the $5000 offered by an
English paper for anyone accomplishing
the performance, but he will come in for
fame and popularity such as has been
the portion so far of but one man.
When Webb accomplished the bridging
of the channel he aroused such en
thusiasm that the people of London
promptly subscribed 1200 pounds for him.
It was Captain Webb's desire to emu,
late and surpass Johnson that led to the
first conquest of the channel-.--Johnson
made the effort In 1872. and failed signal
ly. Then Webb, who had learned the art
of swimming in the Severn, and was at
that time 26 years of age, announced his
Intention of succeeding where Johnson
had failed.
This attracted to England an American
named Paul Boynton, who had a queer
rubber contrivance with paddles. In it
he succeeded in making the transit,
though his trip was not considered un
aided swimming. "
Webb was forced to abandon his first
effort to swim the channel at the time
Boynton crossed, by reason of the extra
strong current and bad weather, but 12
days later, August 1A, 1875, he plunged
oft the Admiralty Pier, Dover. He was
22 hours in the water, and suffered little

lacking In physical courage. After his
third hurt the father went South from
Boston to take the younger man home.
The latter recqvered sufficiently to travel
before the father could reach him, and
the pursuit of the younger by the elder
Holmes extended over hundreds of miles
of railroad and led in and out of half
a dozen cities. When the poet finally
overtook the soldier at Harrlsburg their
meeting was simple and their greeting as
commonplace as if nothing out of the
ordinary had happened.
"How are you, boy?" asked the father,
reaching out his hand for a shake.
"How are you, dad?" retorted the son.
Later the elder Holmes turned a com
fortable penny by writing an article about
it all, a real human document, which was
published in the Atlantic Monthly. .
.Henry, the son of Charles -Dickens, like
the younger Holmes, turned his attention
to law, in spite of the merciless ridicule
his father poured upon the profession,
and today is a Kings' counsel, which
means that he may practice in all the
British courts. His reputation among
King's counsels ia very high indeed.
Dr. Sigurd Ibsen, son of the lamented
Norwegian poet and dramatist, now 47
years old, is a highly educated man who
has had a try at letters. Journalism, poll
tics and diplomacy, without having yet
made the great success he hopes for and
which his friends predict will yet be his.
He was educated In Munich and Rome,
and his degree is Doctor in Administrative
and Political sciences. He entered the
diplomatic service in 1SS4. He served for
a time as Secretary of Legation at Wash
ington and abandoned It In 190. He was
professor of sociology at the University
of Christianla for a year, but he was
pat out because the Commissioner of Ed
ucation objected to his theories. THen
with BJornstJerne Bjomson he founded
a weekly review, the Ringeven, which
lasted only two years.
During all this time he had been a
factor in politics, acting always with the
"lefts" or extreme radicals, but in 1903
he turned to the "rights." or extreme con
servatives. Change of political front is
extremely rare in Norway, and the radi
cals were highly indignant with him and
said many picturesque things about him.
He was quite recently offered the post
of Minister to Germany, but declined it,
though he is said to be in complete har
mony with the new King Haakon VII and
his grov eminent.
It is understood that In his declining
years the venerable dramatist of the com
monplace was proud of his son, but there
was a time when relations between the
two were very much strained. That was
because the son fell in love with and in
sisted on taking for his wife the daugh
ter of BJornstJerne Bjomson. next to
Ibsen the greatest writer' in Norway.
Ibsen the elder had nothing against the
young woman, but he was so jealous of
her ifather that the bare idea of a mar

during the night hours, but emerged
from the terrific test of strength, courage
and endurance in excellent condition.
On the trip he wore an American and
an English flag intertwined. -
Webb's subsequent career was full of
pathos. His funds were soon exhausted,
and to maintain himself he was forced
to give exhibitions of swimming. So
great was the popularity that for a two
days' exhibition he could get $1000.
Coming to the United States he de
veloped the ambition to swim across the
Niagara Rapids, and lost his life there
July 24, 1882.
Cavill, a pupil of Webb, claimed to have
made the swim across the Channel, but
was never credited, and 20 years later
an American, Davis Dalton, said he had
been over the roue traversed by Webb,
but he was never believed. x

a daring amateur swimmer, gave up after
going about two-thirds of the way. This

Sigurd Ibsen is so little physically that
he was known generally in Sweden dur
ing his father's life as "little Dr. Ibsen,"
but diplomatically his supporters declare

Several of Leo Tolstoy's 13 children are
sons, but only one of .them, Leo Tolstoy,
Jr., has ever shown any desire to write.
His ambition has found vent in the pro
duction of two or three plays, in which
his father says he discerns some talent;
though nobody seems to agree with him.
One of the sons is, or recently was, in
the service of the Russian Government.
The other three married the daughters of
rich noblemen and are not obliged -to
work for a living. All three are great
hunters of big game.
Lord Hallam Tennyson, son of ' the
poet laureate who ruled the world of
British, poetry before the days of Alfred
Austin, though not a poet of great merit,
has written some verses and is a worthy
man of the title-hearing type, a thorough
English gentleman, old-fashioned and
conservative. Physically, there ia much
about him to suggest the elder Tennyson,
but his personality is by no means so vig
orous. Those who are familiar with the Tenny
son family history will remember that
Lionel, aeeond son, was drowned while
crossing the Red Sea on his way home
from India. After that bereavement the
poet could not bear to be separated from
Hallam, and during all the father's later
years the son rarely left his side. Lord
Hallam is as devoted to the memory of
his poet father as General F. D. Grant is
to the memory of hto warlike sire, and
considers little poetry written by any
hand but Tennyson's worth reading. "In
Memoriam" is Hallam Tennyson's favor
ite among his father's writings, perhaps
because it was inspired by the death of
Arthur Hallam, his father's closest friend
and for whom the son was named. You
may have read the story of the christen
ing. Lord TennyBon and Hallam were walk
ing together to the font, when the latter
asked what the boy's name was to be.
"We had thought." answered the Laure
ate., "of calling him Hallam."
"Why not name him Alfred?" "suggested
the godfather modestly. '
"But suppose he should turn out to be
a fool?" replied the poet a retort which
might perhaps be included among the
"Things One Would Rather Not Have
Bald."
Hallam Tennyson turned out to be no

period of. five years.
It has remained for Montagu Holbein
to come nearer . than any present-day
swimmer ( to succeeding. On .August 27,
1902, he started from Cape Grlsnes and
managed to get to within two miles of
Dover. He was in the sea for 224 hours,
and would- have succeeded but for his mis
fortune In striking a perverse current
when be was only a short distance from
land. "
Earlier In the swim he might have man
aged to breast it, but at that late time,
when his energies had been flagged by
the long effort, he lacked the power, and
had not his ' friends Interfered and pulled
him from the water, - he would have
drowned..
. On September 1, 1903, Holbein tried It
again, and this time he progressed, to
within seven miles of the French coast
before, being forced to give up.
Holbein swims a great deal on his back,
taking advantage of a powerful leg stroke.

great poetry. He has a good business
head and served for some time as Gover
nor of South Australia, later, in 1902, be
ing, appointed temporary Governor-General
of the entire island to Bucceed Lord
Hopetoun on the resignation - of the lat
ter. It is said'that the temporary nature
of the appointment was due to his own
stipulation that he should be asked to
serve for one year only.
Lord Hallam Is a Cambridge man. In
1897 he Issued a life of his father, and a

metrical version of "Jack and the Bean
stalk" which has never been widely read.
Sons From Statesmen's Families.
Two Senators sons now well to the
front are General Rockwood Hoar, . a
Representative In Congress, son of the
lamented Senator George Frisbie Hoar,
and the son of Redfield Proctor, Fletcher
D. Proctor, who is making the run for
the Governorship of the Green Mountain
State. He was the only candidate before
the convention, and . his nomination is
equivalent to election, of course. Repre
sentative Hoar was named for his uncle,
Ebenezer Rockwood Hoar, who was a
member of the House 30 years ago and
served with distinction as a member of
the joint high commission which passed
on our claims against Great Britain be
cause of the Alabama's depredations dur
ing the Civil War.
Oren Root, Jr., manager of the surface
railway lines in New York City, is not
the son of a statesman, but he is the son
of the present head of Hamilton College's
mathematical department, the grandson
of that Oren Root who made fame for
himself by his solid' achievements in
Hamebon's days, and a nephew of Elihu
Root, Secretary of State since the death
of John Hay. It Is true that young Root
got his chance to go into the street rail
road business through his uncle's intro
duction to President Vreeland, but after
that introduction, the youngster, now 32,
did all the rest.
"Vreeland told him that he could begin
in either one of two ways. He might
take a clerical job and keep clean at low
wages, or he might "learn railroading"
from the bottom, but it would be "a
dusty Job." In the first instance he would
probably he getting about as much when
he came to quit the job as when be be
gan, in the latter it would depend upon
himself whether he Bhould win promo
tion. The boy, who wasn't very far along in
his 20s, and was recently out of college,
took the "dusty Job," beginning the next
day shoveling dirt, digging up cobble
stones and the like. His first promotion
was to be timekeeper. On -the day he
first ran an electric car all by himself he
wrote an enthusiastic letter to his father
"Square Root." as the Hamilton stu
dents affectionately know him. The lat
ter wasn't so enthusiastic, but has since
become so, his enthusiasm beginning some
time before that March day in 1903 when
his- son was made general manager.
There is one class of "sons" who in

"During his .efforts Mrs. Holbein has al
ways been close to him In the accompany
ing boat, and has personally prepared his
meals of raw eggsr hot milk and coffee.
All this he has to eat from a bottle..-.
Holbein is an enthusiast on the subject
of swlrnmlng, and next to crossing the
Channel himself, his greatest desire, is to
see someone else make the trip. He has
offered to give to either Kistler or Glover
all possible advice, and he may even swim
with them.
If the three men could be brought into
a race across the Channel. It would be
one of the most Interesting Bporting
events ever planned.
It was notruntll 1900 that any woman
became ambitious to swim the Channel,
and then an attempt was made by Mad
ame Walburga yon Isacesu, a "Viennese
swimmer. She swam 20 miles from. Calais
in a rough sea before being forced to give

The next woman to seek fame in the

multi-millionaires.
Neither Harry Payne Whitney, who
married Gertrude Vanderbilt. i nor his
younger brother, Payne Whitney, who
married Helen Hay, the daughter of a
statesman millionaire, is likely to lose his
money, for while they are neither stingy
nor great money-getters, they are under
stood to know how to keep within their
incomes. Considering their fortunes, this
ought not to he hard to" do, for their'
father left nearly 122.000.000 and both
their wives were well dowered.
One of the first notable events in the
Whitney world, which includes the world
of sport as well, after the late William
C. Whitney's death was the sale of many
of; the father's racing horses. It was held
in Madison-Square Garden, where all the
big New York horse sale's are held, and
it continued two nights, the attendance
being the largest and the most remark
able of the sort on record. The great
Garden wae positively crowded with peo
ple, many of such quality that one New
York paper which makes a specialty of
printing lists of the social elect on all
possible occasions gave up columns of its
space to their names. Harry Payne
Whitney bought In some of the horses
Hamburg for $70,000 among them but for
the most part the sale was unreserved.
All the horses sold were ot high grade,
and' some hundreds of thousands of dol
lars were realised, quite enough to be
considered a fortune by the ordinary man.
William C. Whitney was by no means
lacking In affection for his younger son.
but there is no doubt that there was a
peculiar bond between the father and the
older eon. William C. had great ambi
tions for Harry Payne, being desirous
that he should follow In his own foot
steps as far as they went, and go fur
ther. Harry Payne Whitney was there
fore subjected to special training.
Like his father like the Whltneys of
that family ever since Revolutionary days
he was sent o Yale. Eli Whitney,- the
inventor of the cotton gin. was an ances
tor of Harry Payne Whitney, by the way,
and he earned bis way through Yale mak
ing wrought nails by hand and by teach
ing. , Harry Payne Whitney, like his
father, too, was a member of Skull and
Bones, one of the two or three most ex
clusive secret societies at Yale. Like his
father also, the young man studied law
after taking his collegiate degree, and
later was admitted to the bar, though he
has never practiced.
Neither has he ever taken an active
part in politics, much as his father evi
dently desired it, though he Joined the
Democratic Club before his father's death.
Eight years -after. William C. Whitney
was graduated from Yale he was in poli
tics up to hts shoulders, and it was
through his activities in public life quite
as much as his legal practice that he laid
the foundation of his fortune of millions.
William C. Whitney's elder son is. how
ever, very much Interested In racing, as
his father hoped he would be, though by
no means the figure on the turf that his
father was.
Payne Whitney, the younger son, has
signalized himself more by buying up the
eld Long Island village of Mannaesett in
order to create a great estate than by
anything else. He began In 1903, and had
a- hard time getting all the property he
wanted, but he finally succeeded, and his
country seat is now one' of the show
places among the magnificent estates of
Long Island. For a time he was some
what unpopular with the villagers and his
other rural neighbors, but he has since
overcome most of the antagonism shown
toward him at the first.
His treatment of the village boys was
perhaps the strongest card he played
while trying to win the good will of their
fathers and mothers. Soon after his pur
chases had included the field on which
the boys were in the habit of playing
ball on Saturday afternoons, the boys,
unmindful of the change of ownership,
rallied as usual to have a game, when
young Whitney's superintendent ordered
them off.
They went, but they were sore. As they
were going they met Whitney In an auto
mobile. Forming themselves In a line
which reached entirely across the street,
they brought him to a halt.
"What's up, boys?" the . proprietor
asked.
"We've been playing on those grounds
for many years ever since I was a kid,"
replied the 14-year-old captain, "and we
don't like to be ordered off."
Whitney looked at the matter through
the boys' eyes and saw to if that they
were allowed to use the grounds as before.
Later he bought new uniforms for them.
Fonder hopes are built upon no son of
a millionaire than those which are found
ed upon Roland Harriman, son of E. H.
Harrlman, now a sturdy, wholesome lad
in his early 'teens.
This boy is clean-cut and alert," and as
keen a lover of horses as his railroad em
peror father. He has his own hunger,
of which he is inordinately fond and un
der his-father's direction is becoming a
thorough horseman. It is said to be his
father's ambition, and that of the boy as
well, that he shall by and by be master
of the -fox hounds in some .of the swell
and famous hunt clubs near New York.
It is likely that the father also hopes to
train up the son to take charge of the
Harriman interestsln time, but the. date
of his succession as ruler of the Southern
Pacific and allied roads is necessarily; far
away. ,,

He owes most of his recent -prominence to
his marriage with the sister-in-law of
Charles Dana Gibson, the Illustrator,
which displeased his ' father mightily.
However, young Astor seems a fairly
good sort. At all events, he has refused
to follow " his father In renouncing hts
