on the 2Sth of March, 1888, at Florence,
Italy. The de Bourbel family boast of
being one of the most ancient of
France, counting over 1000 years Of
unblemished noble ancestors; they
originated from the south of France,
but since the year 936 A. d. they set
tied in Normandy, several members
distinguishing themselves in French
history, especially one Raoul de Bour-
bel. who lived under Louis XIV. Hav-
ing lost her parents at an early age,
Constance de Bourbel was sent to Eng
land to her aunt, Mrs. Buckley, of Lin
den Hill. Berkshire, where she was ed
ucated and lived until her marriage in
1863. with her cousin, Count Yacht
meister, then Swedish and Norwegian
ambassador at the Court of st. James.
There she resided for three years, when
her husband was called to Copenhague,
as ambassador to the Danish Court,
and then after two years, her husband
being appointed Minister of Foreign At
fairs. they took their abode at the Off
cial residence in Stockholm, where the
King created her a Estate Lady of the
Land" and she was the last to receive
this distinguished honor, as the title
then became extinct. Count Yacht
meister died in 1871, and she remained
for several years yet in Sweden, spend
ing the winters in warmer climates on
account of her health.
She has one son, born in 1865. the
Count AXel Wachtmeister, who passed
here several years ago, and was enter
tanned by King Kalakaua. In 1879, the
Countess. who is gifted with remarka-
bic psychic powers, began some investi-
cations in Spiritualism, but after two
years of arduous work, found it both
unsatisfactory and dangerous; she
then joined the TheosOphicaI Society.

THE UNIVERSITY IDEA.

The Boston Herald. in an article on
''The Advance Of the University Idea,
saws that one who graduated from
an American college fifty years ago and
had rank as a scholar, now feels not at
all at home in his old college, and goes
around with his hands in his pockets,
whistling like an alien, and trying TO
find the landmarks OF the old institu-
ton. Our contemporary then gives
list OF some Of the higher institutions or
learning at the North, in which the "uni-
versity idea" has found It's most rapid
development; and, while it contends that
1.-THE scientific method and spirit are
everywhere to-day dominant in the higher
education" IT, nevertheless. concludes
that, taken all together, the education
Of the present IS in very chaotic con-
dition. I'VE have" says the Herald,
advanced so fast that we do not yet
know where we are. IT is to be feared
that the next duty is to see where we
are at. -
1t is true that the college graduate OF
fifty years ago would in many cases feel
like a fish out of water on visiting his
Alma Mater, but the chances are that,
were he examined on the course he
took as a student, It would be found that,
I'm the matter of retaining what he had
learned, he compared favorably with the
graduates Of the institution of only ten
or twelve years standing. The advance
Of the university idea in this country
has unquestionably carried with it ten
dency to overload the student, and the
logical direction of this is towards super
fcality. Foundation principles are too
often sacrificed to the scientific" method
and spirit, and TO ornament, variety. and
rapid work, until we not only have. as
the Herald says, a chaotic condition OF
education, but are threatened in the fur
Their development OF the university idea"
with a system calculated to produce men
tai chaos in the student. In the
South, we are happy to say, the advance
in the university idea has not gone to
the lengths 1t has in the North. While
all of our southern higher institutions OF
learning are gradually broadening their
courses. conservatism is still regnant.
This is a point II would be well for south
ern parents to consider when tempted
by the imposing buildings, big endow-
ments, and Wanted equipments of north
ern universities. to send their sons North
to be educated.

CHAIRMAN JONES DENIES.
He Didn't Say Southern Populists
should Go to Negroes.

tWaSntngtOn Telegram " Nc" ioih
Journal)
Senator Jones, chairman OF the Demo
cratic National Campaign Committee, die
tated to the Journal tonight:
with reference to the New York
World story, | simply want to say that
I had a conversation with two newspa-
per-men, which / regarded in the light OF
D private conversation. in which l said
something of what appears In the World
interview. There are, however, num-
her of inaccuracies If it was the in
tention TO make me say that Mr.. Bryan
would not accept the Populist nomination,
that was unauthorized. / had no au-
thority. did not intend to make any such
expression. and did not make 1t.
II stated in substance that the Populists
from the North and West at St. Louis
were. as far as I observed them, SEEM
ingly a more conscientious body of men
than those from the South, though there
were, of course. number OF strong and
able men from the South. who seemed
to be animated by the highest motives OF
patriotism. | said In substance that the
. Populists were divided into two classes
in the Southern States-one class, In my
opinion, men who were Populists for the.
chance OF personal advancement or pro-
motion, with little regard to public In
terests: that the other, the larger class
OF southern Populists, were patriotic citi-
zens unselfsh i'm their political wishes,
and | expressed the idea that this latter
class would in all human probability
vote with the Democratic party. while the
other. from the fact that their selfish
ends could more easily obtain, would vote
with the Republicans.
you may state positively that / used
no such expression as Going 10 the ne
groes, where they belong.
''There are number of other inaccu-
racies in the report, which, 1 suppose,
were not intentional. as no attempt was
made to take notes OF our casual CONVEX
sation. In fact. / had no thought or
there being such report OF the CONVERSE
ton as the one find in the World"
This alleged interview has stirred up
unusual excitement i'm the different po-
litical headquarters in Washington. The
men I'm charge OF the Republican Congress
sionaI Campaign Committee, IL they can
ascertain the language used by Chairman
ZONES Is authentic. will industriously
circulate IL as a campaign document IN
the Southern States. To them 1t appears
TO be q medium by which they can cap
ture thousands OF colored votes In this
section. They are not yet certain that
the Jones interview Is correct. They
homo Il Is The dictated interview that
chairman Jones gave TO the Journal TO-
night will lead conservative men or all
narties 10 believe that In many respects
he was maliciously misquoted.

fempt 10 rose as sound moneytes in the
national convention soon TO be held IN IN
dianapolis. and try thus TO have no boilers
except Democratic boilers. Yet TINS Is
tust what the Republican party in as
cuise is seeking TO do. The hard-money
Democratic convention. which Is soon 10
meet az above. will be, we repeat, Re-
publican convention, or perhaps we should
say a Republican convention posing as d
convention OF Democrats. Mckinley
hopes to hold all his forces in hand ana
at the same time to draw upon the De-
mocrats for recruits.
Look nj the indianapolis convention. Is
Il anything but a scheme for disorgani-
zing the Democrats. landing their fish in
the Republican pile?
The Republicans are tolling the Demo-
Gratis into the Republican coop, there to
be classed with no Democrats. The COM
mittee having charge Of the meeting OF
The Grand National Committee and the
Grand National Convention Of these so
called sound-money men are exuitant IN
the hope and belief that the Indianapolis
convention will add strength TO the
Republican party, and detract strength
from the Democratic party. Tne
Chicago convention OF 1896 was
lawfully organized body. or 1t was
no organized body at all. The
delegates were chosen by the people
themselves. In the Chicago convention the
people had their own way. Bryan was
nominated by the people. He is the choice
of the people. Under his administration
our government will be a government of
the people, by the people, for the people.
Let every good Democrat have hand
IN bringing about this most desirable con-
dition OF things.
II will be surprising to read now
modestly these belated delegates to a
belated convention will carry themselves
But In a day or two We shall hear from
1ndianapoIIs-in a Democratic State-and
learn what was done by this last conven-
tion $50 far as heard from) In the mean
time. let every good Democrat keep on
his Democratic armor, and hold himseii
ready 20 march to the front whenever, II
ever, these boiling Democrats show them
selves In their true colors.
Yes. the indianapolis convention Is 10
he a body OF anti-Democrats and belated
leaders. Let Us not be alarmed at It's

that compressed air as motive-po"er

from the use OF compressei-air. It's ac-
ton is perfectly smooth, and the cars

Compressed air Is cheap motive-power-
cheaper than steam or electricity. You
can get all OF the speed you wish. The
cars arc entirely independent of one an
other. and there is 10 such thing as all be-
ing stopped by a wiro coming down or cur
rent being turned off. The cars are fitted
with cylinders. into which air Is fed from
tanks at stations along the route al an
enormously high pressure. After the
car is charged. the expansive power Of
the air works the machinery and propels
the car at any desired rate OF speed. One
charge Of compressed air Is sufficient TO
supply motive-power for run OF several
miles. The power is controlled In man
ner similar TO the way steam Is controlled
in q steam-engine."

ALABAMA.

The returns of the Alabama election of
Monday last indicate that that State Is
safely moored to the old Democratic
party. 1t Is significant, too, that all the
counties in the black belt gave sound
Democratic majorities, and that the De-
mocrats made heavy gains in a number
of white counties. We expect the Demo
Gratis to carry the election for Governor,
and for both branches Of the General
Assembly. Indeed. the ticket is long
one, and contains the names Of the county
officers, as we'll as the names Of the State
officers, members of the legislature, &c
Alabama is one of the States which have
been set down as safe for Bryan. The
results of Mondays election show that
it has been properly classified. Not only
will Alabama vote the Democratic ticket
but she will be followed by the other
Southern States. These Southern States
will make a showing which all the States
ought to boast Of.

ENTIRELY TOO MODEST.

The sound-money boiling Democrats OF
Virginia are altogether too modest
They held a meeting here on Saturday
and elected two delegates to the so-calied
Democratic convention 10 be held al In
dianapolis. but the time and place OF the
aforesaid meeting here were not previous
iy announced.
The representatives of the press had
no opportunity to attend They would
have willingly reported who were present
and gladly have made personal mention
of such Democrats in attendance as nave
heretofore been prominent In Virginia
councils. Even now. though the item Is
belated. the Dispatch would like to De
able to publish the roll by counties ana
cities.
The press would also have been pleased
20 note how many are tiilers OF the SOIL
how many wage workers. how many
merchants, manufacturers, etc.
But. alasl all these privileges were de-
MED us. Why? Not because the gem
tleuen are ashamed Of their position
No: hardly that. Then 1t must have been
because they dislike publicity. and did
not wish TO see their names In the
napers." We guess this was their idea.
Modest, weren't they? Yes; too modest
nv half. But they cannot continue in
This modest state during this whole can
yass. They will have TO come out In
the ooen. They VIII have TO meet Demo
cratic stumpers in debate and Democratic
workers at the polls; and then we shall
see. not only who they are. but how
many there are. and from what cities
ana counties they come, and, consequent.
Is. TO what extent they are entitled to
claim to represent the Democrats OF Vir-
ginla.

Tho Democrats of Kentucky known az

dress 70 their brethren, In which they eau
upon them not TO support the piatior"

This Is an unwise proceeding on the part
Of the Democratic leaders In that state
There Is but one Democratic party In THIS
country. and this one is known as wen III
Kentucky as in Virginia whoever sepa-
rates himself from this national Demo-
cratic party writes himself down a potter
And this is what these Kentucky Demo-
Gratis did. They bolted. In their boiling
address they declare as follows:
"The Chicago convention openly repu-
dated all previous Democratic platforms
and principles, and enunciated reckless.
dangerous, and un-American creeds, many
OF which have been traced back TO fopu-
list and Greenback conventions, or 10 the
pronunciamentos of Populists or Social
lists. IL declared for what would lead 10
the reputation Of national and individuai
obligations and credit. Ii formulated q
scheme for debasing the nations money,
under which the established standard OF
values would be reversed, the purchasing
power of the wages Of labor be reduced
one-half. and our nation be set back from
its financial place among enlightened peo-
pie 10 a monetary fellowship with Mexico.
Peru, and the silver monometallist nations
of Asia.
"a platform with candidate that has
thus sought to be. and has been, received
into enthusiastic fellowship by the. Popu-
list st. Louis convention. and who has
openly declared his determination not 10

This Is strong language, but 1t is no.
thing but words. The authors OF the

1t is understood that the southern
members Of the National Republican
Committee will demand their fair share
OF Hanna's barl. We hope they will.
Why shouldn't they have their share!
In the North and West Republican cam
paign orators are invariably paid for their
services; why should not southern ora
tors be? Why should southern members
of the National Republican Committee
sit stupidity by and see nearly all the
campaign money voted to the North and
West? Why, indeed, since the Republican
committee will have money TO burn
this year. and doubtless every colored
voter entertains more or less hope that
In the general distribution he will get
dollar or two. And II the northern and
western voter is to receive a bonus for
voting. why should not the southern

No More.

Elisa A. Fletcher I'm August Ladies' Home
Companion)
No morel oh. sad. heartbroken words
Wrung from the deepest wells OF grief!,
Mournful as mournfullest cry of birds
Upon some lonely, far-off reef.
No more, again the words resound
In mournful echoes through the heart,
Darkly the shadows gather round,
Sadly the soul wthdraws apart
No more, each breath seems but sigh
Zen wandering winds catch up the
strain.
Darkly the leaden clouds drift by.
And life Is wrapped In mists OF pain.
No more, and must they be for aye,
The partings which rend the soul In
twain.
Some time shall not a golden day
Dawn far above this grief and painE
