A nan of Many Parts.

II IS said that Theodore Roosevelt
coDtemplates retiring from politics in
order to devote more attention TO liter
ary pursuits, OF which he is very fond.
He has greatly improved as a writer
Since his first faulty mas aZine articles
were published, and now he holds re-
snectable rank. To say that Mr.. ROose-
Welt 10 a very able man would hardly,
perhaps, be justifable, but he is GER
Jsinly very versatile one. As poll
tician he showed that he understood
running ward primaries as well as the
boys. he shows up well as cowboy
and grizzly hunter, has served as an
amateur sheriff in running down cattle
thieves and can ride to hounds like an
Irish SQUIRE.

YORK TWICE MARRIED..

A Romance Told In London Clubs
welded a Naval Ouicer's Daughter Five
Years AGO.
LONDON Ca5!s 90 ne Philadelphia Prise
Nothing has been said publicly here
that Is, since the announcement OF the
the belrothal-abOut the painfully sup
pressed romance underlying this latest
aud most pOmDOus Of royal weddings.
It's said, and believed by those who
are very we'll informed, that between
four and five years ago Prince George
was married by the Roman Catholic
ritual 70 a daughter of a British naval
officer OF high rpnk, and that there are
two children by the marriage. George
was not then the English heir presump-
tive.
OF course, the contracting parties
knew that by the royal marriage act
this was really no marriage at all, but
the theory Is that George, who was then
not 90 direct line 10 the throne, counted
on his elder brothers marriage and
having heirs, when his irregular con-
nection would be accorded a quasi
sanction such as was given in the case
Of the Duke of the Duke Of Cambridge
and other collateral English princes.
THE TRAGEDY OF IT ALL.
By the light OF this occurrence it may
be seen how Infinitely more tragic was
the death of that elder brother, Clar-
nee, than 40 the time appeared. IL
IpS one now % comprehend all the
-ange, obscure vaciilations and cross
rrents which marked the conduct OF
e rOyal family during the succeeding
ar with the protracted breaking up
the Marlborough House menage aud
. long, aimlesS iourneying abroad Of
,orge and his mother, the Princess OF
ales.
Even the pas week has seen curt,
icial note in the London papers cor
sting, on behalf OF the Princess OF
ales, a mistaken report that she at
lded the court ball on the 3Oth.
THE LADY FROM MALTA.
It is reported that the Lady from
alta" as she is popularity styled, is In
ndon, and not only went to the state
on Tuesday night, but also made
appearance az st. James Palace.
30 far as can be judged up 70 the pres
the effect OF the secret is 10 create
lind OF sympathy for George, who
Ems 20 have stood out as long as pos
iIe under the, Of course, terrific pres
re. and at last succumbed only be-
use the interests Of the dynasty
,med imperatively TO demand sub
ssiOn.
Probably the London papers OF that
"a observed a secret silence about
rs. Fitzherbert when George VI. we'd
q the iU-omened Caroline. But 10 is
rdly without significance that the
1iiu NelCs on Friday printed long
CONT OF the bygone marriage scan
or that one OF the papers on
ednesday morning contained an OBJ
ure reference 10 the nsmeIess beauti-
lady from Malta at the state per-
nance OF the opera on the previous
ming.

SOLITUDE.

The following ideas are gathered from
the reading of a sermon by Rabbi Ko-
hut of New Y ork: Even as Moses was
ordered to make fresh tablets Of the law
to replace those he cast down and broke
in his wrath, so must we men arise
from the sinks of crime we have cast
ourselves into, and reform. AS Moses
went up into solitude to frame his new
law tablets, SO should we in solitude
"work up missapplied material and
chisel it gradually to a finer moulding.
Many an idol will be shattered before
our ideals are realized Woe unto him
who cannot bear to commune with soil
tude! Retirement from the turmoil of
worldly passions into modest ObScurity
is conducive and indispensable to the
culture of character" Character must
be strengthened before we can 90 out
and again grapple with the temptations
set before us at every turn.

The wind up in committee of the
Irish Home Rule debate showed the
intense bitterness of the passions
aroused by this dismembering action of
Mr.. Gladstone. The time honored re-
spect always paid to themselves as a
deliberative body by the English House
of Commons, was thrown aside in
the final discussion and fiery words led
to mOmentary scene of blows scuf-
filings and utter confusion. No wonder
that Gladstone and the Irish wish to
maintain their 1O3 votes in the Imperial
house, else would the great old manru-
verer be soon in helpless minority,
for his final financial clause passed by
the narrow margin of 10 votes in a full
house.

that commends it to the public is very
acceptable.

The Waterville Adrance says: 1.-The
able editor of The PRISON MIRROR has
bald head. 1t has been our impress
sion up to the present time that bald
ness was indicative of early piety." In
this case the stale old chestnut is apt.
Had the editor continued in the whole
some, pious ways in which good
mother early taught him to walk, he
would not have required the restraint
of a penitentiary to bring him to his
senses. Walking in Gods highway he
became well-to-dO and prosperous till
pulled up with overweening self-con-
ceit. Then he tried rapid transit to
wealth on the DEVILS reclining chair
cars, self satisfied that his own smart
ness would enable him to put the breaks
on in time to avert disaster. But, neg
lecting all danger signals, he ran into
an open switch and ditched his train.
Lying crippled in the ditch, with the
wreck piled on top of him, he has yet
the courage to wave the danger signal
in the faces of others who are sched-
uled on'the same track.

With cash wheat at 51A at Minnea-

With cash wheat at 512 at Minnea-
polls and 554 at Chicago, what is the
farmer to do? The protective tariff
keeps up the price of clothing, nipple
ments etc., which he has to buy with
his so cent wheat on the one hand and
the silver men threaten by hook or by
crook to maintain 60 cent dollar on
the other. The farmer is the back
bone of the country; without his pro-
ductive power the country would be
nowhere. The laborer, mechanic and
manufacturer would be without a
market. The farmer is a great goose
to so persistently fight against his own
interests, but being the golden-egg lay
ing goose, he should be saved before
death from starvation results from
juggling in behalf of manufacturing
prince and money power.

per published in the Minnesota State Prison. 1t
was founded in 1887 by the cOnvicts and is edited
and managed by them. Its objects are: to be a
home newspaper to encourage moral and intel
lectual improvement among the prisoners; to
acquaint the public with the true status of the
prisoner; to disseminate pathological infOrma-
ton. and to aid in dispelling that prejudice
which has ever been the bar sinister to a fallen
mans self-redemptiOn. The paper is entirely
dependent on the public for its financial sup
port. If at any time there should accrue a sur
plus of funds the money would be expended in
the interests of the prison library.
