ROYAL Hotel Keepers.

The king of Wurttemberg may be re-
garded as hotel keeper as well as a
monarch. This has long been tradi-
ton in his family, but not until lately
was it discovered by the rulers of the
beautiful little German kingdom how
profitable innkeeping can become. When
Peter the Great was travelling incognito
through Europe, he refused to stop any
where but at an inn. To circumvent
this within the then king of Wurttem.

the royal palaces and, dressed as an
inpkeeper, himself welcomed the czar.
This royal personage's descendant now

is said to derive revenue equaling
$50, 600 year.

Two men, German and French
man, who met in New York, had a
heated argument over the question
whether the wife of state governor
had an official title or not. One con-
tended that she should be addressed as
"Mrs. Governor So-and-so." The other
stoutly insisted that she was simply
"Mrs. Blank, wife of Governor Blank. I"

to the first man they met. He proved to
be an Irishman. They stated the case to
him and asked for his decision.

and some friends of his family arranged
a dinner in his honor. The evening ar

The White House is an exact copy Of
the Duke of Leinster's palace, Dublin.

on building advertised for "a plan

WESTMINSTER ABBEY.

Gladstone has been laid to rest in
Westminster Abbey, where repose the
ashes of SO many of the men who nave
shed lustre upon the ages in which
they lived and honor upon the English
name and nation. In no place do so
many great ones sleep side by side, and
no place is SO sacred and honored BY a
people save the catacombs of Rome.
Warriors, saints, sages, and poets there
steep their last sleep and will awake at
the last trumpet call But Of all the
great men who have been enshrined in
the Nalhalla of England's immortals
none was more deserving of the honor
of being entombed in Westminster
Abbey than he who but a few days ago
took the last grand step beyond the
stars of God" IiallOwed however as
is the history of the ancient shrine, and
great as is the honor to be buried within
It's walls, Giadstone's grave would be
none the less sacred and none the less
honored had he been laid to rest in
the little churchyard at IIawardcn. In
deed We think such resting pace
would have been more in keeping with
his life. lie was one of the people and
as IN life he struggled for the people, so

rest in their midst. No tomb be it ever

The Test of Genius.

New York World: Genius is the ca

That is why we call Napoleon and
Farragut and Nelson and Paul Jones
and George Washington geninses.s. That
is why in this war we have added
Dewey to the list.
There was Spanish fleet in the Phil
ippincs. Dewey was ordered to find
and smash it. With the least possible
delay he found and smashed 1t.
The country is waiting now for some
other men to enroll their names in the
list of geniuses.
Admiral sam pson Commodore Schley
and Commodore Watson have I'M
der their control much greater fleets
than Dewey's, while the Spanish feet
which they are sent to catch is greatly
inferior to their own.
If they promptly do something de-
cisive to that fleet we shall recognize
them as geniuses. But we are. now

Judging from the discussion of the

DECORATION DAY.

Next Monday will be Decoration Day,
and, as in the past, our people will not
prove unmindful OF the debt of graft
tude they owe to the dead savlors of the
MON. The sacrifices made by them
and their comrades who survive them,
will be brought more forciblv to our
minds BY the sacrifices being made to-
day by those who have gone forth to do
battle IN the present struggle. Never
before, to many of us, has the true sig
nificance of war been made manifest.
Thus those who have looked indiffer-
emily on the celebration Of Decoration
Dav and the ceremonies attending it.,
will be drawn closer to the graves OF the
veterans, and join in IGNORING their
memory.
Since last Decoration Day a number
of veterans have answered the sum
mons of the Great Commander, and
have gone TO join their comrades on
flames eternal camping ground Our
own camps have been reduced in men,
hership by death. and there are, as a
consequence, more graves to decorate
But this will be a duty OF loye. No
grave viii be forgotten.
Nor should it be forgotten that Deco
ration Day Is a day TO be held sacred
day which should be rehgiously OBJ
served, not day for sporting and
drunkenness. Let it be so observed.
