Glory and Contenptof:t.


 A curious and interesting statement has recently seen light, for which the alleged authority is the late Duke of Wellington Writing to an American friend year or two since, his grace says of the illustrious victor in so many stricken fields from Assaye to Waterloo: ''1 do not remember the word glory in any of my fathers sayings, dis patches, or other writings" Others almost as well acquainted with the Iron Duke could doubtless confirm this story, which is quite in harmony with all we know of his manly simplicity, traightforwardness, and entire freedom from bounce, grandiloquent clap trap, or assumption. If the first Duke of Wellington had been asked to specify word which, more than any other, conveyed his idea to the proper rule of action, he would, like Nelson. have answered, not ''glory," but duty" The famous signal at Trafalgar, England expects every man to do his duty" was probably as mythical as the equally famous cup Guards and at 'em," or as Cam bronnes "The Old Guard dies, but does not surrender" or as Francis I. s brief missive from Pavia, ''All is lost, Madame, save honor" The sentiment which the word em- bodies was, nevertheless, the sustaining stimulus of the great admiral and the great captain, just as it has been of many gallant fellows since who have furnished glittering beadrol1 of worthies to illustrate the Lau- Ieates boast that
 'Not once or twice, in our rough island story - the path ofiluty the way to glory
 If the latter was the goal reached, it was not consciously sought. It is for our spirited neighbors across the English channel that the word "glory" has potent charm and Frenchman-Talleyr wrote the fol- lowing pregnant sentence: ''The love of glory can only create great hero; contempt of it creates great man."

Amer1ca,s Lordly River Leaping

 HELENA, Ark, Jan. 16.-Much uneasiness is felt here on account of the rapid encroach- ments of the Mississippi river on the levee and the Iron Mountain railroad below Helena about quarter of a mile. The bank has caved in during the last ten days fully thirty feet The water is now within twenty-five feet of the base of the levee with strong current pressing directly against it. If the levee caves in at the place mentioned large amount of the work done on the Arkansas 1evee recently will be protection to vast scope of rich country in case of overflow this spring. In fact thousands of dollars spent on leEees during the last eight months will be just so much money thrown away.

America,s Interest in the Congo.

BERLIN, Jan. 16.-Much attention is given here to the resolutions of inquiry in the American Congress in regard to the course of the United States government toward the settlement of the Congo question. It is the general opinion that the Ameri- can legislators misjudge the case. The reasons for participation of the United States have been understood in Europe to be first, that America was the first great nation to recognize the status of the International African association, and, second, that having among her population six million natives of Africa the United States naturally takes an interest in African affairs her efforts to encourage the settlement of Liberia have shown.

A Wedding Feast Provided With {
 WOrtbless Check


 FALL RIVER, Jan 16.-John D. Prince was married in New York on last Saturday after noon to Miss Lillian Harvey, member of the Acme Burlesque company. He treated bis wife's associates to feast. He was short of ready cash and exhibiting check for $S5 purporting to be drawn on his uncle ex- pressed wish to have it cashed. The banks were closed, but Miss Lottie Mortimer, the pretty Puck" of the company, generously prevailed on her father, Mr. Frielander, to cash it. Prince and his wife accompanied the company to this city to appear in the play of the s'Gold Fiend" at the Peoples Museum on Tuesday afternoon. They took an afternoon train for Boston and failed to return. MT. Frielander came to Fall River on Wednesday in an angry frame of mind in search of Prince, whom he charged with. passing a worthless check When informed of the departure of the couple he left at once for Boston to secure Princes arrest. One of the managers of the company says that he was swlndled out of s53 by Mrs. Prince, rep resenting the price of costume and advance money.
