COULDOCKS CAREER.

That was a remarkable career of C. l w Couldock, who died few days ago. Fe was nearly S4 years old He was an actor from his eighteenth year. Al most sixty-four years Of life on the stage entitled him to the rank of a vet eran and an able one at that. He was born in England and attained success on the sage there before he came to America. In 1849 he crossed the At lantic and appeared ill the support O. Charlotte Cushman, the most famous, perhaps, Of cur American actresses. His career in this country was popular and successful. Returning to England for short period, he once more came to this country and remained here.
 His name is associated with the best part of the history of the stage He Fanny Kemble, Edwin Forrest, and Charlotte Cushmsn
 He never took first rank as an actor, bu: he easily led these in the second rank. In parts like Iago, Macduff, and Antonio he was not eclipsed, and sell dom equ2lled. It is true that these were not all leading parts, but the able performance of them added to or di- unfinished the lustre of the play. Per sonally he was amiab!e, sympathetic and sincere. To him the profession of a1 actor was serious one. In it he tcok the highest pride. To him the stage was ideal. never to be degraded Ey panGering to the lower sentiment of vulgar public taste. MT Couldock will be long remembered. Thousands have seen him anG enjoyed him in those characters which he made fa- nous. To the world he gave much pleasure, much benefit and wide exper- fence. He did not live in vain.

the subject very thoroughly, but they admit that they had to draw 1heir own conclusions in the absence of positive information Originally before rail- roads, CT, indeed, any other roads, were constructed. there was a great deal os hauling across the country to the seaporss, principally to Savannah. The drivers Of these teams used very large and long whips, and they were heard by the cracking of the whips long before they came in sight. It is reasonable to suppose that this may have had something to do with the ori- gin oi '.he term cracker. Some very careful southern writers think the term arose from the cracking of the rifles Of the Georgia hunters, while others are Of the opinion that the cracking of the whips or rifles had nothing to do wilh it's origin; that the word cracker was simply name given to pcor white sand-hillers.

PADS IN LITERATURE.
War Stories Superseded by Works on
 Territorial EXpension.


 The demand for war literature at the Carnegie libraries and the bis book stores has taken a new track. few months ago the public thirst was for articles and books dealing with the progress of the Spanish American war. Books on the United States navy were in enormous demand. Now, however, the trend of the public mind is toward reading on the problems growing out Of the late confic- Territorial ex- pansiOn, cur new possessions, new races under the American flag. reOrgan- izatiCn of the regular and volunteer armies of the United States, American sea. power, etc, now are the subjects upon which light is demanded by American. readers.
 The person who is in charge of the circulating department of the Carnegie fires library at Schen1ey park s1i1 tha- the book mostly in demand is Captain Mahan's Influence of Sea Power, which Is regarded as the masterpiece in this line by naval authorities on both side O the Atlantic we have posted bulletins in conspicuous places throughout the library rooms inform ing se2rchers after information rela- tive to the war and it's results where such information can be found. As yet we hnVe not Had great deai CT call for information regarding Cuba, Porto Rico or the Philippines. We hardly expect much until those lands are brought to a state of order conductive to the furtheTance of American enter prise and investment of capital The library has, however, laid in q few ad ditional volumes treating of the Philip pines and the West Indies.' At the reference desk it was learned that there were not nearly So many questions asked about war matters as three months ago. The public was reading more and was finding out what books to ask for to obtain the desired infor~ nation Still with all this it is sel- dom that a dozen inquiries week are made, whereas two or three months ago six and seven times a day was the rule.-Pittsburg Dispatch.

A WONDERFUL SHOWING.

This is not the time cc year when the movcmert of merchandise is greatest. but the bank clearings indicate that the general volume of the country's busi- ness is fairly to to called enormous. Last year tho total clearing5 were 373 per cent greater than in the corre- spending week of 1897, and B per cent greater .hGn in 1892, year of very large trahsactions. Throughout last month the average daily increase was POT per cent over 1897 and 189 per cent over 1892. With the clearipgs in a single week aggregating $1,750 ,000,- 000, there would seem 10 be a volume of business going on that has never be- fore been approached in this country. Meanwhile the money market con tinuss to be very favorable to both speculative and commercial interests. Indeed, there never was a time when the merchants of this country in an ac- tive trade season could obtain money on easier terms or at such advantage over competitors abroad.

ENGLAND AND JAPAN.

Reports from Japan throw light on tke continued preparations fer war which Great Britain is cs:ensibly mak- ing These reports indicate that Japan proposes to resist Russian aggression in the orient. The shooting of Japa- nese spies, upon whose persons were found plans and drawings of Russian Notifications, by Russian soldiers, in dicates that the reported resistance contemplated by Japan, has an inter esting basis of truth. It is not prob able that Japan would enter into war with Russia single-handed. The strength of the Cossack empire would net leave the result Of such a struggle in douDt for g moment. Tn '.he mean time. developments in the Chinese sit uation lead the observer to believe that Great Britain is behind Japan The Fashcda incident which was considered menacing to the peace of Europe, can be explained by the manoeuvres of Ja- pan. It was not France bu. Russia at which Great Britain was aiming. The orient was to be the seat of conflict rather than Egypt. The alliance be- tween Russia and France makes the ex- planation plausible if not actually true
 Since France withheld from quarrel, it is Japan's turn to precipitate a con fict. The situation grows norc inter esting. The developments from this time on must be attepdsd with mome1- tous influences upon the peace of Eu-

LOST ORIGIN or AN EXPRESSION.
A Modern Phrase for Which l. Is Hard
 to Account.

q have recently spent some days in the National library hunting for the origin of the phrase Georgia crack CTS observed a prominent southern literary man, and was surprised at the small amount CT reliable information that found there on t,he subject. What struck ne more than any other one fact learned was that the term crack CT seems to have originated in New England, and is not southern cOininG at all. In I760 the ,srm is used several times in newspaper articles printed in Poston. though tho articles may have been written by a southern man, who may have gone there from Georgia which was settled twenty years before ,nat.
 Tho general Expression in Georgia is that the term cracker applies to any southern white person of low grade, an ignorant n,cunt3lneer or country person, but as far as I have heen able to learn t has no more reference to Ge3fg1a than ar5 ether of the eCutECTn states Some -1rEeT5 hare Eo1e into
