The End Of Books.

What brings about the end of books?
Is it fire, water, worms? As every ship
launched is bound to be wrecked, every
theater to be burned, the FMS of the
book is its reduction to ashes. What be-
came Of the Alexandrian library? Did
the Saracens burn it in $40? There is
this question asked: Was there any IL
brary at Alexandria containing zoo, coo
books? Gibbon inclines to the opinion
that there was NO such library. Canon
Taylor insists that if there had been q
library it was burned in the time of Ju-
Illus Caesar. Tradition seems to indicate,
however, that there was a library in
the Serapeum, by no means large col
lection, but whether destroyed by The.

BELG!UM'S ROYAL SCANDAL
The Antecedents Of Princess Louise ana

The Antecedents Of Princess Louise ond
Her Paramour.
The world was startled the other day at
the news, cabled from Berlin, that Princess
Louise. the eldest daughter of King Leopold
II OF Belgium and wife of Prince Philippe
of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, had eloped
with an Austrian officer of hussars.
The princess is now exactly 80 years old,
having been born in 1858. Two children
have been born of her union with Prince
Philippe. The first, boy, Leopold Glenn
emit Philippe August Marie, was born in
Hungary in 1873; the second, a girl, Doro-
THE Marie Henriette Augustine Louise,
was born in Vienna in 1881.
Prince Philippe, the deserted husband,
IS lieutenant general in the Bulgarian
army, chevalier of the Austrian order of
the Golden Fleece and bears the title of
royal highness.
Just why the princess should have found
1t necessary to attract public attention by
means of an elopement it is difficult to
understand, for any one who has any
knowledge of Viennese society is perfectly
aware that she was left free to amuse her
self as she listed and that If her husband
neglected her he, at any rate, never dream.

Speaking Of Longfellow, in her vol

''His kindness and love of humor car

fact of the subterfuges to which men
and women resorted in order to get an
interview, and, to help them out, made
as much of their excuses as possible.
Speaking one day of the persons who
came to see him at Nahant, he said:
'One man, a perfect stranger. came with
an omnibus full of ladies. He descend
ed, introduced himself; then, returning
to the omnibus, took out all the ladies,
one, two, three, four and five, with a
little girl, and brought them in. I en-
tertained them to the best Of my ability,
and they staid an hour. They bad scarce

came up to me on the piazza and asked
for dipper Of water. Certainly" I
replied, and went to fetch her a glass.
When brought it, she said: "There is
another woman just by the fence who is
tired and thirsty. ! will carry this to
her." But she struck her head as she
passed through the window and spilled
the water on the piazza. ''Oh, what
have I donep' she said. eff I had o
floor cloth, would wipe it up" "Oh.
no matter about the water" said, elf
you have not hurt yourself. Then I
went and brought more water for them
both and sent them on their way re-
freshed and rejoicing
"It would be both an endless and un-
profitable task to recall more of the Gu

brought down upon him. There is a

Butler was arrested in San Francisco
the other day charged with murder on the

hilda and called himself Lee Weller, which
was the name Of one of his victims.
The Blue mountains, in New South
Wales, were the scene of Buffers horrible
work. 1t Is known that at least IA persons
have been murdered by him for the Dur.
pose OF robbery, and for good reason it is
believed that many more hare been his
victims during the last year, for many
persons who have mysteriously disappeared
have been traced into his company and
then all track of them has disappeared
This man, whose right name is supposed
to be Frank Butler, has during his terrible
career, while burying his victims from
New South Wales to Western Australia,
gone under numerous aliases, and at times
even taken the names of persons he has
murdered
He was last known as Captain Lee We'll
Ter, and the veritablc Captain Weller was
one of his victims. He has also during
his career Of crime, when change of name
has frequently been necessary, been known

Pittsburg (Kas.) Tribune (Pop): The
American Book Trust Company has had

some allies. Where will she get them?
Austria, which is joined to Spain by
some ties Of blood, has crisis at home
which Ia bothering her so seriously that
she has no time TO think of any other
country's troubles. Germany, in the
Chinese affair, has possible war on Its
hands. England, France and Russia are
tied up by troubles, or expected troubles,
In Asia or Africa. In no quarter Of the
globe can Spain find an ally II she
should have war with the United States.
The last country In Europe which would
aid Spain in any case Is the country
in which that Paris paper is printed.
Kansas City Star independently: Pres
ident Mckinley, in his message, dis
plays none of the timid politicians fear
of the world gold. He uses the most
emphatic language in discussing the sub
ject of the currency, and leaves not a
shadow Of doubt as to the determination
Of the present administration to main
tain the gold standard and to avoid any
action by the Treasury department
which will in the least degree impair
faith In the stability Of the currency.
The message Is much stronger in this
respect than good many radical cur
rency reforners expected. In advOcat-
ing safer and easier method to obtain
gold for the redemption of the green
backs, and to make the demand notes
OF the government less of menace to
confidence In financial circles, the Pres
ident very shrewdly calls attention to
the fact that the settled policy of the
government, since the close of the war,
has been to pay dts debts in gold, and
that the treatment of the greenbacks
that is now advocated is merely con-
tlnuatiOn of that policy
