All Born in 1909.

A wave Of great men for babies that
were destined to become great seems
to have swept over the world in 1909.
Why they were precipitated upon the
world during that particular year will,
perhaps, never be known, but it is a
fact that the following named histori-
Cal personages count it as their birth
year: Lincoln, Gladstone, Darwin,
Edgar Allan Poe, Cyrus Mccormick,
Benjamin Pierce, Alfred Tennyson,
Mark Lemon, Jules Fayre, Raphael
Semms, Albert Pike and Oliver Wen
dell Holmes. II has been asserted that
Jefferson Davis was born in 1909, but I
find it was in 1908.

Great Railroad Race.
[Atlanta Constitution, 12th.1


There has not lately been such in
terest in a race between two railroad
trains in the south as that aroused by
the second contest for speed between the
Atlantic Coast Line and the Rich
mond and Danville.
. The race was in progress yesterday.
1t was between the two fast trains of
the respective lines, and was for the
purpose of testing the time that can be
made by the roads between Jackson
vile and New York.
The Coast Line left Jacksonville at
1925 o'clock a. N. Wednesday, the
Richmond and Danvile at 1913 o'clock
a. III. on the same day. The Coast
Line had 149 passengers, the Rich
mond and Danville 206. The two
trains each had FIVE coaches and one
baggage car.
The time of arrival in Washington
yesterday morning of the two trains
gives the advantage to the Coast Line
by one hour and twenty-siX minutes.
The Coast Line reached the national
capital at 7:I9 and the Richmond and
Danville entered the car shed of that
city at 9 o'clock, sharp.
The Richmond and Danville, having
more people than the Coast Line, had
a heavier load, and, more than this,
had to stop at Columbia to add another
car for the comfortable accommodation
of it's passengers, thus giving it heavier
weight than the other train. Further
than this, some unexpected delay was
incurred on the Virginia Midland di-
vision of the road. The first race that
was run by the two lines was victory
for the Richmond and Danville, and
it is more than probable that this
would have turned out the same way
but for the increased weight of the
train that went over the Richmond
and Danville tracks.
Since the Richmond and Danville
entered the Florida field, it has brought
the schedule down between Jackson

The Stale, lotn.l
The State authorities have begun to
move against the military companies
which declined to obey the orders Of
the Governor during the recent trouble.
Yesterday the following order was pre-
pared by Adjutant-Gep eral Farley and
it will be sent to all companies in the

from the Warren Tribune.
Each girl member must pay into the
common fund a certain sum in proper
ton to her matrimonial chance, and
the member who is last to be married
will receive the entire amount. Now
there is one member who is but sixteen
and another whose age is an unknown
quantity. AS there are but ten MEM
bers enrolled in the organization, she
of the sixteen summers must pay just
ten times as much as the lady whose
age is unmehtionable. We have posi-
tive evidence that two of the young
ladies expect to be married in the next
decade.

there were twins it was so much the

now till the mother rushes to church

and if I had regards for children this
way they wouldn't be born. If you
got to rent a house these days they
don't want to rent if You are blest with

you have children. This is not right;
it is cruel, and we are going backwards

GSprinfeld Republican,

=
Mrs. Cleveland is an ideal mother. 1t
is true that the 'tkoses Of France -
have faded from her cheek since her
lovely form and face, first dawned on
the city's astonished vision, but in
their place has come matronly sharpe
a mothers tender dignity and a wife's
high resolve. No woman looks at her,
especially if she is privileged to see her
with her babies, without warming to
intense loyalty. Ruth was not, to my
thinking, a beautiful child, but one Of
unusual attractions and exceedingly
winning. When I saw her in the
spring, just after she had begun to ga,
alone, I had a bunch Of violets In my
hands. She wanted them, and I gave
them to. her. She TOOK them to a
remote part of tho room, spread on
her dress, laid violet after violet upon
it, looked at them awhile and then
laid them daintily into the tin foil and
brought them back. [ never saw SO
young child so concentrate her atten-
ton. The last I thing heard Of her
she was "doin down into the ticnen to {
see the titens," in which expedition
she emulated Young America, North
and South. Father, the later born, is
an exquisitely beautiful child, or was
when she was two months old. I have
not seen her lately. The President
will have it that she is not as pretty as
Ruth, but nobody agrees with him.
"Flrst come, first served" we cry. The
wife of one of our Republican Senators
was so charmed with the child that
her husband grew quite impatient Of
her reiterations. One day he en-
countered the wicker carriage and
raised the curtain. a few moments
after be interrupted his wife's lunch by
the hearty exclamation, "By jove! you
were right about that babyw Mrs.
Cleveland is sometimes equal to her
occasions. She wanted the photo
graphs Of her children and she got
them without informing the photo
grapber. No children were ever more
sacredly guarded from the public-eye
than hers.

Living for Show.

What we want in our homes is a
much simpler style Of housekeeping,
and we shall have it when we learn the
great lesson-which is the only r. medy
for this matter-to live more for COM
fort than for ostentation; to live less
for show and more for substance.
There is where the evil lies. We live
too much for others; tao much for the
world. We fix up our homes altogether
too much with the idea of either what
the outside world will say of them or
to outdo our neighbors. When We
reach that point where we shall dis
miss little of that ostentation that is
now so prevalent in many of our
homes, we shall not only reach a hap
pier state for ourselves, but We will
remove one.half of the nervous all
ments from which our women are now
suffering. 1t is all we'll enough to
have pretty home, with rooms filled
with dainty bric-a-brac, mirrors, cush-
ions and ornaments of every sort. But
someone must take care of these
things, aud generally it is not the help
We may employ. So far as the orna-
mentation of our homes is concerned
we are OVERRIDING it il the majority of
cases anyway. A room tasteful In its
rich simplicity is the exception rather
than the rule. The greater part Of our
drawing rooms resemble museums more
than anything else, and mac is never
so comfortable as when be is out Of
them. Between kicking something
over, or knocking something off, the
average mans mind is anything but a
tranquil one in the typical modern
drawing room.

The Deacon's Misinformat1on.
+ From the Industrial World. I

A crusty old Welch Deacon was
asked for the loan OF the schoolroom
for concert. He granted the request
on the ground that no comic songs
should be sung. The concert took
place, and "Ta-ra-ra boom.de-aye" was
sung. The Welsh Deacon's curiosity
was aroused by the applause. He
asked what "Ta-ra-ra booln-de-aye"
meant, and he was told that it was
Greek for aalellwia. Sunday was the
church anniversary. The preacher held
forth and the Deacon began shouting
"Amen, amen, diolch iddo," &C., and
ali present were convulsed when he
burst out "Ta-ra-ra boom-de-aye."

Upon joining the frightened gre up
our little heroine discovered that the
nurse and the baby had not been seen
by any one in the party. Without
uttering word she darted back along
the intricate path that led through the
lonely morass, fear and distress adding
wings to her feet. Upon emerging
from the gloomy forest she beheld the
house in flames, and surrounded by
soldiers, while flying towards her and
wringing her hands in agony came
Aunt Dinah, who sobbed out:
"Honey, honey! is you not got de

The next moment a little form
flashed between the ranks of the
dragons, md disappeared within the
structure, from which greedy tongues
of flames were spitefully thrust out Of
doors and windows, accompanied by
rolling volumes Of black smoke. Before
the startled soldiers had finished their
cries of CONSERVATION, Marion reap
peared, bearing in her burnt, brave
little arms white bundle, from which
a child's frightened cry was heard as
the heroic girl once more rushed away
in the direction of the swamp. Instead
of impending her fight, the English
soldiers swung their hats and cheered
her until the dark forest hid her from
their view.-From Harper's Young

LIVERPOOL, May 12.-The Irish Ma
tional League OF Great Britain held its
annual convention here to-day and the
outcome promises TO be OF great import
ance, as II was decided to attempt to
heal the differences existing In the Irish
parliamentary party. Mr.. I. P. O'Con-
nor, President OF the League,
occupied the chair, Mr.. JON Dillon,
Mr.. Timothy Healy and other anti
Parnelite members OF the House OF
Commons were present. The report for
the past year was presented and adopt
ed. Ii showed favorable condition OK
affairs. The treasurer's report showed
the receipts OF the league during the
year 10 have been el7, SOS.
Upon the conclusion OF the routine
business there enSued long discussion
OF the question as To tho means TO be
adopted 30 bring 10 an end the OLSEN
sion in the ranks Of the party. Mr..
Timothy Healy made concIiiatory
speech, in the course OF which he said
that everybody agreed that
THE MAJORITY MUST RULE,
but, be declared, he was opposed 10 tho
lea that the meetings should be secret.
He believed the question might be set
tied by the holding OF 4 national con-
vention,
Mr.. Dillon also addressed tho couven-
ton. He said he agreed with Mr..
Healy that all matters OF national i'm
portance should be discussed pub
licly, but he held that changes be-
tween the factions OF the party should
be considered in private. For this rea-
son he retrained from refuting the
charges that had been made agains,
himself in reference to tho Paris fund.
In regard TO his negotiating with the
ParnelIites, Mr.. Dillon added that ho
would gladly apologize 10 Mr.. HealY Tor
ANYTHING he had said or done In the,
past II such an apology would tend TO
heal the troubles.
Continuing Mr. Dillon saId that tho
party was in critical times, b.. the gov
ernment had been
LOYAL TO IT'S Pledges
The action OF the Parnellites In oppos.
ing the government was deplorable.
Such q course, III persisted IN, "ouia
only result 10 the substitution OF a gov
ernment by Mr. Balfour or Lord Sails
bury.'
The other speakers adoped similar
concilatory language.
Finally a resolution was adopted by
an overwhelming majority, the vote
standing $50 10 is, declaring that the
dissension In the party should be
brought TO an end, and that conyen-
tion should be called TO meet In Dublin
for the purpose Of healing the feud.
A resolution was also adopted asking
the Irish members OF the House OF Com
mons to urge the government to liosr-
ate the Irish political prisoners.
Mr.. OConnor was reelected President
by an almost unanimous vote.
From beginning 10 end the proceed
lngs were marked by concilatorY and
friendly spirit.
