The Duke of Tetuan, who recently
distinguished himself by slapping the
face of Senator Comas on the floor of
the Spanish cortes, is an Irishman In
blood. He Is the son of General o.
Donnell who in 1860, during the war
with the Moors, invested and captured
the town Of Tetuan in Morocco and
got title for his bravery. The Duke
has title apart from that which he
has inherited from his fighting father
in Spain. 1t is that of Lord Donegal
In Ireland. The name of the family
Is an iHustriOus one in Irish history,
and when the present Dukes ancestors
left their native land to espouse the
cause of Spain they also left an estate
that had been forcibly taken from
them during the time of Elizabeth.
Tetuan's father was soldier par ex-
celence, and courtier too. The son

added the dignity and the gravity Of

years old. He is widely known in Eu-
rope as a diplomat, and he is very
proud Of his Irish descent. The lineage,
although not found in "Burke's Peer
age" Is a notable one. In the reign of
James 1. Mall Gary O'Donnel was
Prince Of Tyrconneu and Lord OF the

UEcoEgenial Tasks.
1t is one of the curious apparent con
tradictions Of the country and the peo-
pie that whereas large percentage of
the population can neither read nor
write, the bane of the nation is over ed
ucation, says the London Journal in an
article upon the Greeks The university
and high schools act as magnets, attract
ing all the clever or ambitious youth Of
the country. large numbers of whom
are duly stamped every year with the
academic seal and turned adrift with
larger demands on society than their
fathers ever had and less means Of sat
lsfylng them. Hence considerable
number of young men throughout the
country who can speak several Ian
guages and have acquired large stores
of general Or technical knowledge are
forced to earn their bread by means Of
uncongenial work. These individuals
are dissatisfied with the established CT
der Of things, which makes no special
provision for them, and they gladly
lend their aid to social reformers or
political agitators Ct all parties and
professions.
Not that there are any political par
ties in Greece in the sense in which
these exist in most constitutional cCun-
tries. Men, not measures, is the uni
versal cry; individual interest is the
line of cleavage. The crowd follows one
OF the two men whose heads are above
those Of their fellows. The successful
leader then provides places for the few
who are chosen as well as called, and
high sounding rhetoric for the many.

accuses them of being renegades. In no

why She Liked Hypnotism.

A young woman from Washington
has discovered practical use for hyp-
notism and declares that at last she sees
its value. She was visiting a young
artist, who, with her chaperon, observes
all the proprieties, in studio up town
in New York city. The Washington
young woman was called on by her
physician, who happens to be skilled in
the ways and wiles of hypnotism. The
chaperon was eager, as many women
seem to be, to be hypnotized when the
conversation turned on that subject and
the doctors skill with the art.
The doctor was a trifle chary about
showing his powers, but the two
younger women begged him to crafty
the elder woman s curiosity The chap.
eron smiled to herself and dubbed
with delight when the doctor finally
consented to experiment on her. In 10
minutes it was the turn of the two girls
to bubble with satisfaction. Under the
doctors persuasive power the chaperon
was lost to the world and all but the
M. d. s power.
At lastv' exclaimed the Washing
ton girl. Here at last is q practical use
for hypnotism. Anything that can put
q chaperon to sleep is worth having
about. Teach me, oh, DOCTOR "-New

when it is entirely closed deafness is the re-

Contentment is the art of doing with

If you would be poor in the midst Of
plenty, be ungrateful.
Opportunity Is a steed to be ridden

If we would know God we'll, we must
become familiar with his Book.
The more thankful we are, the more
we will discover to be thankful for.
The better we know the Bible, the
better we will know the God who gave

When we look to God as the Giver
Of all good we will find good in all He

Discomfort robs us of present good.

SIX POSTMASTERS.
Greater New York to Have Unique
Service.

New York, Oct, 1.-Greater New
York is to have the unique post office
service of the country if the plans of
Postmaster Van Cott and the post Of
flee department at Washington are
carried out. There is to be one gen
eral postmaster and five assistants, all
to be appointed by the president and
confirmed by the senate. There ls to
be an uptown Office and two branch
offices in New York, and two addit-
ional offices in Brooklyn. New York
is to have three of the assistant post
masters and Brooklyn two. Chicago
Will still haYe one.
Each of the three assistants is to
have a salary of about $4,000 per year.
The amount has not yet been def
nitely decided. Each will have en-
tire control of his office, as much con-
troll as if he were the postmaster IN
any other of the larger cities of the
country. While the postmaster of
Greater New York will be postmaster
in name, the assistants are to be
nearly as independent as are various
federal officials of the treasury who
are stationed here now.

sites for state penal colony. There

owners, who wanted to sell the state
their property. The committee came
to no decision. The south Georgia
offers were attractive ones.

used as pasturage, The property is
offered for $4,000 in 3per cent, bonds.
The waters surrounding the place
abound in fish and oysters, and the
place is accessible to Brunswick ten
miles distant by water and by rail
over three roads. Artesian water may
be had at an expense of of 5000 to $4OO.
The Glynn county convict farm, ad-
joining this, raises forty bushels of

A Meeting Called for Next Tues
day at the Ogle-
thorpe.
THE LADIES ARE ASKED TO HELP.
Unless We Organize LyCeum, Brunswick
Will Be Without Entertainments
the Coming Winter.

The few citizens who are trying to
organize lyceum in Brunswick have
met with some encouragement, but
with much encouragement. The
chief difficulty has been in getting as
sistance in the matter of making a
canvass. 1t is necessary TO have l50
members, at So each, to organize, and
while it is believed that this number
can be easily secured, it has been
deemed impossible for one or two
friends Of the lyceum to take suffi-
cent time from their private business
to make the necessary canvass.
What is needed is canvassers. If,
as THE TIMES has urged before, fifteen
public spirited citizens would each Sc
cure nine members, the organization
could be made up IN very short space
of time.
Unless we do have some such organ
iZatiou, Brunswick Will have no en-
tertainments at all this winter. barr
ing the usual dog show. The lyceum
will give US reputable, high-class, in
tellectual entertainments and is the
only means available for supplying
our great municipal defect.
Taking all things into considera-
tion, the few citizens who have inter=
ested themselves in the lyceum have
determined on one more effort to eff
feet the organization.
A meeting will be held at the Ogle-
thorpe hotel OF next Tuesday night at
s o'clock for the purpose of getting to-
gether all of those who would like to
see the movement a success, and start
ing a canvass for the $50 members
necessary.
ltis urged that all who are willing
to help attend this meeting.
The ladies especially are requested
to attend and take hand in the work
of canvassing. At Jacksonville the
ladies did nearly all the work, and Sc
cured nearly the entire list of mem
bers. There is no reason why SIX or
a dozen Brunswick ladies should not
do the same.
Come to the meeting next Tuesday
night. Let US make the lyceum a sue
cess.
Two new names have been added to
the list of lyoeum entertainers for this
winter. They are Thomas B. Reed
the ablest leader of che republican
party, and DR.. Frithiof Nansen, the
arctic explorer. It will be possible
for Brunswick to secure both of these
famous men.
