vIENNA,s DISAPPEARING ARIsrocRACY

From a Vienna Letter.
Vienna is in the act of being gradually
abandoned for good by the old aristocracy
of the empire. Nearly all the great nob!es
of Hungary, of Bohemia and of Galicla
have closed their palaces and mansions, in
many cases offering them either for lease
or for sale, the Magyar mobiles naturally
transferring their permanent abodes to
Buda Pesth, which henceforth, according
to an imperial decree just issued by the
emperor, is to constitute a joint capital Of
the dual empire. During six months the
court will reside at Vienna, and during the
remaining six months the court and gov
eminent will make its headquarters in the
Hungarian capital, where the foreign en-
bassies are expected to take up their resi-
dence during that time. OF course, this
tends to diminish the Importance and pros
perity OF Vienna which naturally resents
the diminution OF its glory.

Word Consumption in Everyday Life.

Up in Baltimore test debate over the
tariff question was recently held. 1t was
not held for the purpose of settling or even
calculating that problem in political econ
omy, but it was held to determine how
many words the average man uses in daily
conversation and in the course of daily
business correspondence. One side held
that 500 words, as against Shakespeare's
1900, are all that the average man en-
ploys. The Baltimore test" went to show
that 600 words answer all the purposes Of
ordinary everyday life.
The tariff debate was conducted, however,
with full knowledge of the use it was in
tended to serve Unusual words We're
avoided. 1t did not bring out the verbal
resources of the contestants, as the discus
sion of this or that subject embraced in the
news of a day does. Each subject is apt
to have vocabulary of its own. Thus

HE WAS "CATNIPPED"
the New York Tribune.

From the New York Tribune.
Willie lost none of the details of the kid
mapping of the Clark child, which his parents
discussed frequently at meal time thought
less of the breathless interest of their Z
year-old son. The family is at its country
home, and Willie spends much of his time
feeding the fish in the pond which is in a
sheltered nook on the place. The other day
he was bending over the water watching
some goldfish eating bread crumbs. when
he saw in the water the exaggerated
shadow of roughly dressed teamster who
had come into the place to get drink of
water. Turning, he saw the man, whose
aspect was terrifying to the lad, and Willie
rushed to the house, screaming frantically,
II am catnipped!' and it took his mother

President Milton II. Smith, of the Louis
Vile and Nashville, went south in his spe-
cal car yesterday afternoon, accompanied
by his young son, Sidney Smith, and two
nephews, sons of Captain P. Sid Jones, of
Birmingham. The party was accompanied
as far as Montgomery by Colonel J. NJ
Falkner and George W. Jones, of that
city.

TOO MUCH OF A POLITICIAN

From the Camden New Era.
A governor who removes trustees and
substitutes others because the one voted
against him and the other for him is more
of a politician than he is a patriot. The
governor who is capable of setting to work
by well laid scheme to remove a college
president or professor on political grounds,
and because he did not personally favor
him, is even too much of politician to
be worthy the respect of a patriotic people.

From the Dothan Home Journal.

From the Dothan Home Journal.
The major portion of the people of the
state, ii the press, indeed, reflects public
opinion, desire that General Wheeler be-
come a candidate for the democratic guber-
Material nomination. There seems no doubt
that he is the most popular man in Ala
bama politics today. and is gaining daily
in this regard. He is wise in his genera
ton, having kept aloof from the burning
questions, which have recently eaten into
the vitals of the state democracy, and for
that reason, il no other, he could more
nearly unite the varied party factions than
any other man who has been mentioned for
the Office AS to his ability, everyone con-
cedes it; for his record in the national con-
gress is an open witness to the ease with
which he sways men and bends them
whittier he will. And it is this character
istic possessed by him which has enabled
him to push measures through the house
which have brought untold benefit to the
state. The wise care he exercised in con-
serving the interests of the people of his
congressional district has fitted him for a
wider sphere of action and he would lend
dignity coupled with knowledge and the
highest type of patriotism to the position
the people seem determined to thrust upon
him.
The party is torn with the strife it has
just passed through, and no partisan of
either faction can draw strength from the
other or hope to command any degree of
regard from the populists or republicans of
the state, many of whom would be glad to
cast their lots with democracy under a
conservative and intelligent leadership.
Such is the position of General Wheeler,
and if he yields to the opportunities of the
people and becomes O. candidate, he will
win in a canter, and few will have the te-
merity to make the race in opposition to
him

REFLECTIONS OF a BACHELOR.

From the New York Press.
Where bliss is ignorance it is wise to be
foolish.
Some girls who look thin have a way of
limiting around that you wouldn't think so
If you knew all.
Half the women who go wrong never
wanted to; they only wanted to see how
near they could get without going wrong.
If wicked women could only add to their
arts the mysterious charm of innocence ev-
cry man in the world would go to the devil.

Southern Colleges and Northern Money

At the Capon Springs conference in
West Virginia the interesting fact was
brought out that the south was before the
war in advance of the north in the matter
of higher education. The first laboratory
in the country was that of the University
of Virginia; it had the first and largest
system of electives, and President Eliot
OF Harvard had avowed his indebtedness
to one Of the faculty of that university for
many of the ideas which he used in MAX
ing Cambridge University pioneer among
American institutions. 1t remained for DR..
Curry to make the proof mathematical,
which he did by producing the figures Of
the census of 1860, showing that, with
population of eight millions, as compared
had more colleges, more professors and
practically as many college students and
spent more in their education. The north
had POS colleges, 1.407 professors and 29,-
O74 students. The south had 262 colleges.
1,4SS professors and 27,035 students. The
paralyzing hand of war has effectually
altered this condition.
Just what the war has done in the i'm
poyerishment and Gripping of southern
colleges for the white man is told in q
single comparison, which was presented to
the conference: The productive funds of
northern colleges now amount to $l02,7 2l,-
000 those of southern colleges to SIS, ill.,
coo. The northern colleges have grown
richer year by year. but except for the
Fayerweather bequest to one southern in
stitution and the munifcent gift on which
was founded the Vanderbilt university, no
northern money has been given to the
cause of southern education, DR.. Curry de-
clared. He added that Hampton Institute
for the black and red man had a larger
endowment than any southern white col
lege, and that Booker T. Washington's
school at Tuskegee was better endowed
than forty-nine out OF fifty white col
leges.
The great need of white education in the
south was freely discussed. White leader
ship in the south should be broad and in
telligent, because that leadership has a
double responsibility on account of the
presence of two races. Education of the
blacks alone would be valueless IL the
higher education of the stronger and di-
recting race be neglected.
The first resolution of the conference re-
lates to the peripatetic alms-seekers that
now infest the north, boring and disgust
ing every man of wealth. AS a class they
are frauds and humbugs, and the confer
ence concluded to appoint an agent to
study and investigate all southern institu-
tions with a view to directing philanthropy
into channels that are the most helpful
and promising. AS things stand many
wealthy men will give nothing to south
ern institutions, because they have been
disguised with peripatetic cormorants.
