Especial Washington Letter.l

Abraham Lincoln attained dissinc- <<ion without collegiate education. Joan of Arc achieved distinction with out a military education. But the ynung men and women who are looking eagerly into the future should remen- ber that God makes few such charac- fers as Lincoln, and that there was but one Joan of Arc in all history.
 Dr. Brown-Sequard 1t was who sage ly remarked that genius is a nervous disease with which few people are af- Hicted." That is naively put and strangely true. The young people of the present generation cannot learn too soon that they who succeed in life are they who tcil. There is no uniform ly successful genius save the genius of labor. If we would succeed we must rtrust no future, howe'er pleasant; let the dead past bury it's dead. Act in the living present. heart within and God o'erhead.'
 When there was great upheaval in this country more than a generation ago and large armies of men were marching and countermarching an un- usual opportunity was presented for men with natural military ability to develop their talents. But out of the chaos of it all there arose to the top in the maelstrom of fame only the drained soldiers of West Point military academy. They were trained in the art of war, and their training demon strated their fitness to command all Volunteers.
 Many of the men of the south received Preliminary training at the Virginia military institute at Lexington. To that place proud fathers and mothers from southern states sent their boys to prepare for West Point; and until this day the same plan is pursued. It is only few hours ride from Washington, and upon special occasions a great many ren tlemen and ladies go there from this city to enjoy the scenery, the country air and to show their interest in the school. The greatest event in the re- cent commencement exercises of the military institute was the dedication

AFRICA'S DEADLY ROAD.

The London Mail says that the Beira
Railway in South Africa is completed
as far as the terrible belt of the tsetse
fly country is concerned-a stretch of
something like 100 miles of line-and
the empire is infinitely richer for the
achievement. But it has cost an enorm-
Gus sum of money, and it has cost in
human life more than all the fighting
For every mile of the Beira Railway
has been built at the cost of two Eng
lishmen'S lives. 1t is one of the most
unhealthy parts to which the adven-
turous Britisher, carrying his life in
his hand, has penetrated. That was
only one more reason why railway
should be built across it, and built the
railway has been. Mr.. Pauling and
Mr.. Lawley, respectively the contractor
and engineer, survive, and that it was
which they celebrated recently Of
friends and comrades who set out with
them in the great undertaking few
have come back. They rest beneath
the mounds that serve as half-mile
stones along the line of the Beira Rail-
way 1t is not only in war that the
price of empire is paid, or that hero
ISM is displayed. After five years in
the land of fever, Mr.. LawIey might
have considered himself entitled to
rest on his laurels at home. But in a
few weeks he returns to his duty.

German Diplomat Says British Capt.
talists Are After It.
NEW YORK, September 13.-The
Worlds Washington correspondent
wires: Interest in the Colon dispatch
regarding the Panama canal has been
revived by additional intelligence
which reached Washington today.
A German diplomat has received
word from compatriot now stationed
in Paris that British company is ne
gotiating for the purchase of the canal.
The sale, according to this diplomat,
is the result of numerous conferences
held in Europe during the past winter,
when the United States Government
was urging the completion of the Mic
aragua canal The powers of Europe,
notably England, France and Germany,
viewed with alarm the tremendous
prestige OF the United States as the
supporter of the Nicaraguan project,
and they agreed to unite against the
common danger, allowing that nation
which was most concerned to become
for d time the proprietor of the Pana-
ma canal. England, logically, was the
nation to be selected.

of the Suez canal, except that in this
case the powers concede her right,
which before she was Obliged to steal.
Maurice Trubert, Charge d'AffaireS at
the French Embassy, maintains great
reticence in discussing the Panama af
fair. He emphatically asserts that he
has received no official notification of
such a transfer. Nevertheless, it is be-
lieyed by other diplomats that there is
yet much to be learned regarding the
Panama canal, and it is known that the
State Department is quietly investi
eating at Colon and in the capitals of
Europe
