FRANK MAYO.
Frank Mayo has this week been
treating Brooklyn to "Nordeck." 1t
is not showing very well, despite its
merits; but Mayo is determined to
make the public like it. "Confound
them" he says Z" it's a good, clean

make Nordeck 60 will end like

"Davy Crockett " finally paid off. just

Boniface, who makes tour through the
country, appearing in dime museums
and he has put his young son on the
road with " Davy Crockett" This last
venture grew out Of performance last
summer in little town near their home.
Young Frank took the part Of Davy"
and his fourteen. year-old sister sus-
tanned the feminine role. 1t was so de-
liehtfully done that the father deter
mined to send the boy out with the
play. The daughter has a wonderfully
sweet voice, and in the convent school
where she is being educated she is
looked upon almost as an angel. In

Sold Themselves for Naught.

| Sold l0elQSclNtS AOl A~SNSAS'
The Republican leaders in Ohio who
induced the Circuit Court Of Hamilton
county to assume jurisdiction in case
in which the Constitution of the State
denies jurisdiction to any court have
sold themselves for naught. They
manifested q willingness to trample the
organic law of the State in the dust in
order to gain the purely partisan adj
yantages that would result from having
control of both branches Of the Legs
lature at the time when the ses-
sions began. They set bad
example, which it is to be hoped will
not be followed in contested elections
either for Congress or for any State
Legislature. To allow the courts to
step in between the officers Of election
and the legislative bodies, and by their
decisions and DEGREES determine the
party complexion Of such bodies would
be to make a dead letter Of that provi-
sion of the Bill Of Rights of Vir-
cinis and OF the Constitution Of
every State which declares that
the legislative, executive, and judi
cial departments of the Government
should be kept separate, and that other
feature Of the Federal and every State
Constitution which provides that each
house of the legislature shall be the
Judge Of the elections, qualifications,
and returns of its own members. All
these things, we say, the Circuit Court
of Hamilton county overlooked or dis
regarded, egged on by Republican par
tisans.
But the triumph Of the Constitution
breakers was short-lived. Already.
as our telegram Of yesterday stated,
they have been rebuked by the highest
court in Ohio; and the right to pass
upon the returns from Hamilton county
has been lodged in, or rather remanded
to. the hands to which the Constitution
of Ohio intrusts 1.-THE members of
each house Of the Legislature. The
Republicans, therefore, and the Repub-
lican court, sold themselves for naught.
They stand condemned before the whole
country, and their example will not soon
be followed, we may presume, by any
court, high or low, in this free republic.
One peril is passed.
As heretofore, we do not think it
necessary to deny that there was some
thing wrong in the returns from Hamil-
ton county. That point is outside Of
our contention. We commended, and
the Supreme Court of Ohio has decided,
that the misconduct Of election officers,
if there was any misconduct, does not
Justify court in stepping in to decide
a question with which it can constitu-
tionally have nothing to do.
What says our Providence contempt
rary? Does it still hold that the courts
have the right to pass upon the returns
of the election Of members Of State
Legislature?

Not a WrnCkPr.

Since the death Of VANDERBILT a
good many kind things have been said
about him. We are now told that ne
was OF hard-hearted nor illiberal nor
more than ordinarily selfish. This con-
firms the impression we received years
ago that considerably more than half
the attacks that were made upon VAN
pERBILT during his life were due to
envy. However, the best evidence, We
think, that VANDERBILT was not so
black as some were accustomed to paint
him may be found in the fact that his
death has had comparatively little un-
favorable effect upon the stock market
The resulting condition of the market
would seem TO show that although hi
NAV have taken Hys" in Wall street
he was not a wrecker. If men go
hurt in following him it was not becaus'
he was a wild and unprincipled specu
lator, but because they did not hav
the money with which to sustain them
selves.

ArrENprEp BANK R0BBERY.
The nlidsishs Work Of Burglars interrupted
in . smnil Ohio Town.

in smnil Ohio Town.
A Wheeling wv. VAL special says;
Mount Pleasant, q small town Of l,O00
inhabitants, situated on the southern
edge Of Jefferson county, Ohio, nine
miles northwest Of this city, was the
scene Of an attempt a. bank robbery
just after midnight last night which
came within very small fraction
Of being successful. At O'Clock,
while q party Of half dozen young
men were passing an alleyway few
blocks distant from the First National
Bank. they found a horse and buggy
standing unhitched in the street. Ex-
aiming the vehicle, they discovered
under the seat black oilcloth bag con-
tanning flask of powder and guam
tity Of fuse. Their suspicious being
aroused by this discovery, the party
hurried to the bank, where they could
bear footsteps and the sound of blows
in the direction of the safe.
K. W. Chambers, president Of the
bank, and j. X. Ratcliff, the cashier,
were aroused, and they hurried to the
bank, accompanied by the young men.
BY this time the burglars had taken the
alarm. They emerged from the build
ing and, covering the crowd with re-
volvers, made their way to the buggy
and drove rapidly in the direction of
this city. The town was at once
alarmed, and while one squad OF
men started in pursuit OF the
robbers on horseback, another made
an examination Of the bank. The
outer doors of the vault, which are
four inches thick, were found
to have been drilled and blown from
their hinges. The lock had been forced
from the inner door Of half-inch boiler
iron, which also stood open. Within
the bank was large burglar-proof safe,
and the burglars were just on the point
Of attacking that when they were inter-
fered with. They had evidently been at
work for several hours when discov-
cred.
The pursuit was kept up for eight
miles, which the fleeing robbers covered
in fifty minutes. At a point one mile
from the river, finding they were too
hard pressed, the burglars abandoned
the buggy and took to the woods, max
ing good their escape. President Cham
bers informed your correspondent that
between s25, 1000 and 100000 in cash
and large amount of negotiable paper
was in the safe, and had it not been for
the suspicious Of the young men who
discovered the buggy the cash would
have been reached before morning, as
the party were evidently experts.

DIR. woodrow WIZ Not Resign.

A Columbus Ohio special says
The new Board Of Directors Of the
Southern Presbyterian Theological Sem
jnary met in this city Thursday night
and remained in session until . O'Clock
Friday morning discussing the situation
in regard to DR.. James Woodrow, the
evolutionist. DR.. Woodrow was de-
clared by majority Of the synods to
have been illegally removed from the
Perkins professorshlp, and hence the
new Board confronted the same difficult
ties encountered by the old Board.
With DR.. Woodrow in the chair, they
appointed committee to wait on him
and ask his resignation Of the profess
sorship Of the Perkins chair for teach
ing science as revealed in Scripture. to
which request he gave q positive re-
fusal. Another committee was appoint
ed to ask DR.. Woodrow if he would
agree not to teach evolution, to which
he replied that he would answer no
questions. The Board could accom-
plish nothing toward unseating DR..
Woodrow. so they adjourned at 2 A.
NJ. DR.. Woodrow is having his room
in the seminary put in order, and will
lecture next Monday if he has an au-
dience. Ten of the twenty students
have signifed their intention to leave,
and others will follow 1t is believed
that the seminary will soon be closed
for want Of students.

Mr.. Cleveland would hunt up the great

anddieability, and these eaustic repri-
mands have taken root among
the people, and they have no
doubt received the careful attention
of the President himself. We are truly
glad TO see this Jacksonian editor thu
grazing and honoring the White House
with his presence. On this occasion
Mr.. Pulitzer did not send up his card,
but was invited and received with the
formality due his worth and influence.
We venture, however, that the World
will continue in the path so wisely
mapped out in the beginning, and while
its editor may eat bon-bons at the Ex-
ecutive table, he will continue to draw
the distinction between q Democratic
and . Mugwump Administration. The
Democrat INDUCES the bright and con-
solipg hope that Mr.. Pulitzer aud the
President may meet often.

this department would not only become
In time . dangerous political machine
and breeder Of Capitalization theories
but the ambition Of the several states
to bring about the highest possible de-
yelopment Of their respective systems
would be lost. The day would soon como
when the responsibility for the public
school system Of the entire country
would DO thrown upon the General
Government. What the country de-
sires, what the country needs, what
will best advance the cause Of popui"

There is no constitutional prohibition
against increasing the revenue in this
direction and as the country people
will hardly consent to an increase OF
tax, and have always been opposed to
the settlements of 1871 and 1879,
and have paid next to none OF
their taxes in coupons, it would
seem to be quite natural for them
to say that if the city permits its
rich men, who abhor REIMBURSEMENT by
the State, to readjust their own taxes
At from so per cent. to 60 per cent. dis
count, then the city may have the
honor Of raising the additional sum ne
cessary to sustain the policy.
And il the argument be good for the
whole sum thus assumed to be neces-
sary, it must be pro tdnto as tc
any part Of it that may be required to
be raised by a partial success OF the
couponnicrs.
Then the question arises whether tn
cities and towns Of Virginia, in active
competition with the cities and towns o
other States, can afford to have thei
business taxed one million per annuu
in order that certain taxpayers ma
evade their just share of the publ
burdens.
A more wholesome public opinio
will prevent the raising Of any sue
question.

occupies a posltlo

as the oldest of reigning soverelgns and
the first ruler Of reunited Germany.
lie was born March %, 1877, and served
in the campaigns Of 1913 and 1914
against Napoleon Bonaparte. On the
accession of his brother, Frederick Will
liam, to the crown Of Prussia in 1910,
he was made Governor of Pomerania.
He afterwards sat in the Prussian Diet,
vigorously supporting the Absolutlst
party. His consequent unpopularity
obliged him to fly to England in 1913,
but he soon returned to take seat in
the Nationalist Assembly. In 1857 he
was appointed Regent Of Prussia, owing
TO the insanity Of his brother, and sue
ceeded to the throne on his brothers
death, January 2, 1861. The King
sternlv resisted the Constitutional party
controlling Parliament, and obstinately
asserted the prerogatiyes of the sover-
eign. In this contest he was ably sup
ported by Bismarck. who became Prime
Minister September %, 1862. The
reorganization Of the army was the
Kings effective method Of consolidating
and preparing for the expansion of his
power. His minister succeeded in turn
ing public attention from the constitu-
tional question by raising the Sleswig
dispute in 1868, and forcing Austria
into the Danish war. The next step
was to drive Austria out Of the confede-
ration and secure the leading place
among the German States for Prussia.
This was effected by the war Of 1866.
The kingdom was now prepared for the
war with France, which the growth
Of German power, as regarded
enviously by Napoleon III. and
MS ministers, made inevitable. The
result was the triumph of the
German arms, and the re-establsh-
mcnt Of the German Empire. William
was crowned German Emperor at YER
settles, January Is, 1871. The aged
Emperor is the embodiment Of German
unity, the personidcation Of German
nationality. This, with his irreproach-
able private character. has made hlm
the most popular Of sovereigns.
The Emperor married June ! /. ls2J,
Augusta, daughter Of the late Grand
Duke Karl Friedrich Of SAKE Weimar.
by whom he has one child besides the
Crown Prince. Louisa, the present
| Grand Duchess Of Baden.
