About Some Notables.

Oliver Cromwell had a head large In pro-
portion TO his body; his features were rug
ged and unprepossessing. He had three
or four warts on his face, one being on the
side Of his nuse. He wore a small mus
tache and imperial, after the fashion of the
times.
The Queen of Italy, 1t is said, never wears
the same pair of stockings twice.
George Eliot is said to have written

fact that she commonly worked slo WY.
writing with great care and deiiberatiou.
and making few erasures after her work
was done.
Disraeli was very fond of champagne
jelly.
Beethoven was about five feet five inches,
but was heavily built, with broad, massive
long and always in disorder: his eyebrows
were heavy and shaggy; his eyes small
and piercing.
Voltaire was the uglest man of his age.
Emaciated to n skeleton, all the features
of his countenance were exaggerated. His
nose and chin nearly met. from the lack
of teeth; his checks were sunken and
wrinkled: his eyes set so far back in his
head and so obscured by shaggy, over
hanging brows as to be almost Invisible.

MUNICIPAL ENERGY.

Nothing speaks SO eloquently of the vi
city as the spectacle of its leading citi-
ems, professional men and business men.
capita lists and those of lesser means, who
take pride in all that pertains to economi-
cal improvements and creation of external
beauty, meeting together and speaking
impositions. Such meeting was that ex-
traordinary and memorable one of the
Board of Trade last evening, and which is
fully reported in The Times Of this morn
ing and this evening.
When such distinguished, influential and
determined citizens as those who were
present take up the question of suburban
gambling, ,under-assessment of the property
of the Washington Gaslight and Electric
Light companies and their exorbitant
charges, illegal occupation Of streets, the
flagrant abuse Of grade crossings, which
are blight to trade and a menace to life
and limb; the inadequate and offensive ter
minal railroad facilities and structures
such as the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
Company maintains-when such citizens
take hold of these questions 1t is quite
certain that they will never let go until
something very substantialis accomplished.
Every citizen of the District, excepting
those who have pecuniary interest in
the perpetuation of these abuses, will ap-
plaud and support them, and it goes with
out saying that The Times will aid with its
most earnest efforts.

sorrH CAROLINA DOGS.

The South Carolina constitutional con-

work risen to height of wisdom which
contemplating its disposal of other great
questions.
Senator Tillman's propositions were gen
orally accepted, but when he offered q
clause providing for a tax Of one dollar upon
each dog OF the grand old commonwealth.
he aroused storm OF indignation, which he
will be slow to provoke again. COM
plcte report OF the speeches is not at hand.
but enough has been given to the world to
indicate that the dispute was almost blood
curtiling i'll its fervency.
Members of the convention had dogs Of
their own, of more or less aristocratic
breeds, and their poor black and white con-
stituents had coon dogs and 'possum dogs
and rabbit dogs and dogs of no account ex-
cept to concentrate and monopolize the pro-
miscuous flea; but all of them, mongrel.
puppy and hound, Tray. Blanche and Sweet
heart, were dear to their owners-already
quite dear enough without taxation.

children may go without books in the old

tag. 1t is their business to contribute to
the domestic larder, and not to the cause

THE VENEZUELAN ROW.

1t is extremely amusing to note the en-
| ergy with which few American newspa
pers-a very few-are attempting to mag
| Nifty the discussion between the United
States and Great Britain on account of
Venezuela into possible war. The
very suggestion of such a conclusion Is ri
diculous, and the shedding of a single drop
of blood in such 4 cause would be an unpar
donable crime
The whole matter in a nutshell is that
few American speculators took their capi-
tai 10 Venezuela, instead OF investing IL In
the United States. They were given large
area of land, whose ownership was IN dis
pute between Great Britain and Venezuela.
The rights Of these Americans is the only
ground for quarrel between the United
States and Great Britain, and there never
was palmer case for easy arbitration.
The "inibroglio" does not arise to even the
dignity of a tempest in teapot.
II Secretary Olney and this Administra-
tion are attempting to make a cheap repu-
tation for an aggressive foreign policy by
sharply discussing the Venezuela matter
while neglccting the Cuban question, they
viii speedily discover their mistake 10
their cost and newspapers which scissor
columns of stale news from London
journals and place scare" headlines over
them to cover up their indifference to the
spontaneous and universal expression of
sympathy for the Cuban patriots, will soon
find their industry more burdensome than
amusing.
In its most serious phase the Venezuelan
question is utterly insignificant as com
pared to the Cuban. Cuban independence.
or even Cuban autonomy, would be of
immeasurably commercial benefit to the
United States. All that could be accom-
plished by successful dispute with Great
Britain in regard to a ring of spectators
in Venezuela would not benefit the United
States one red cent.
The Times yields to no one," as Con
gressman would say, in antagonism toward
encroachments of monarchic powers In the
Western Hemisphere, but this Venezuelan
question is not yet one which calls for
either bello wing or blood-le tting, and
until there appears to be greater cause for
quarrel The Times prefers TO exercise its
vocabulary and give its columns TO so
substantial, serious, grand and patriotic
a cause as that of free Cuba.

Royal NicknameS.

Peter ", of Aragon, was The Ccre-
monious, from his punctiliousness in court
etiquette.
Charles VI, Of France, was hated by his
people, and in derision was termed the Well
Beloved.
Charles III, of France, was in derisioa
called The Simple, or The Fool, on account
of his stupidity.
Alphonso H., Of Leon, was denominated
The Chaste. No scandal was ever alleged
against him.
Ptolemy, King of Macedon, was The
Thunderbolt, from the vigor OF his military
movements.
Louis the Great had even and tolerably
regular features, without any strongly
marked characteristics. BY all his cor
temporaries he is spoken OF as tall man.
but he had way of raising his head, sur
mounted by the monstrous wig he wore.
and of swelling his chest, that created the
impression of his height.

1t is thought by some lovers of Thomas
Hardy that the changes in Hearts Insur-
gent" made by the editors of the magazine
in which it is now running, will be SO great
that the story will have to be read in book
form in order that its original force may
be gained.
Although "The Story of Bessie Costrell"
is widely heralded as Mrs. Humphrey
Wards best book, there seems to be silent
compact among the reviewers not to give
it much space. The tale is short, contain
ing only about 10000 words, but Eng
lish critics claim to see In it style much
resembling, even improving upon, George
Eliot, although the new writer cannot COM
pare with the dead novelist in the making
of characters.
Mr.. stanley's recent publication OF his

George Du Maurier was compelled by
the Harpers to make several alterations
in ''Trilby" before and in the course OF its
publication, but the dispassionate mind
fails TO discover in the condemned pas
ages anything more insidiously or fla
grantly noxious than many that " ere per

HlRMoN's LARGE CONTRACT.

Attorney General Harmon has volun-
if his purposes to explain the truth or falls
ity of all the newspaper articles which deal
with either the secret or more open acts OF
public men. Mr.. Harmon has just now
thrust himself into the breach to say that
there have been no differences between the
President and Secretary Olney in regard to
the foreign policy of the Administration.
1t would be interesting TO know by what
authority Mr.. Harmon is prompted to spca K
for either the President or Secretary o.
ney. That there have been serious differ
ences The Times has absolutely trust worthy
assurance. and Mr.. Harmon's assurance of
peace and harmony will not long hence be
shown to have been the utterance of one
entirely uninformed.
The Attorney General has been peculiarly
unfortunate in his interviews and letters.
His reply 10 private citizen of Albany.
who wished to know whether meetings held
to express sympathy for struggling Cuban
patriots were in violation of the laws of the
United States, was blunder, which has
brought upon him criticism and ridicule
from every part Of the country.
Every Attorney General OF the United
States preceding Mr. Harmon has invariably
met such inquities with the information
that he could give no opinion unless di-
recied to do so by proper authority. The
law creating the office prescribes that it
shall be the duty of the Attorney General
"to prosecute and conduct all suits in the
Supreme Court in which the United States
shall be concerned, and to give his advice
and opinions on questions of law when
required by the President of the United
States, or when requested by the heads of
any of the departments touching any mat
ters that may concern their departments"
Yet Mr.. Harmon, in direct disobedience of
this law and contrary TO precedents, fur
nished by every predecessor FROM William
Writ to Richard Olney, gives an opinion as
Attorney General to a person named Wat
kns, living at Albany, upon the legality of
Cuban meetings and advising against them
because, forsooth, they may seem discourte-
GUS and offensive TO a nation with whom the
United States has an arrangement called a
treaty. To say the least Mr. Harmon
seems TO be slightly incautious.

President installed In office than he begins

Perhaps these gentlemen have found
the dispensation of patronage more to their

The lasest victim of the mania for edit
ing and steriiizing copy is Hardy, whose
new story published by the Harpers bore
such evidence Of an intervening intel
ligence" that deyotees of the popu lar
au thor OF ''Tess' easily detected 1t
and pointed out the tact in letters to the
London press. This raised sort OF con-
uoyersy between various critics OF style.
until finally Mr.. Hardy himself confessed
in type that he had been required TO make
concessions TO editorial prudence.

that for this reason he views with utter
adherence the mention of my (his) name
