Poor KIno Edward.

Now we are told that the new king,
Queen Victoria's successor, is afnicted
with the deadly throat trouble which has
haunted and taken of his ancestors for
generations.
His eldest sister, Empress Frederick, OF
Germany, died with the disease some
months back and her royal husband oc-
cupied the imperial throne of Germany
less than ninety days, for he was dying
with throat cancer when he tascended the
throne q few years ago.
II Is one of the diseases which are hand
ed down, inherited, faint in the blood, a
result OF marriages with kin-a curse par
ticularly that follows ambitious royalties,
who intermarry so closely, producing de-
cav in strength and vitality among them
selves.
Poor King Edwardl
For forty years, maybe more, he has
been heir apparent and heir presumptiVe
to all the glories and gifts of the British
crown, with no question Of his title. But
his mother held on year after year, while
her son waited as patiently as he could
for her place and power.
He saw his young manhood pass away,
his middle age likewise, and he came to
the throne at last a grandfather, weary
man Of years and sordid vanities, when
the days Of his prime were all gone for
ever, and his son now is waiting to step
into his shoes as soon as another royal
funeral can be celebrated in London. And
the cancer route is a certain one for kings
as well as commOner clay.
Just as the new king was making ready
for the grandest coronation exercises ever
known or carried out on this globe, can
Gel steps to the front and whispers: You
must go my way. 1 will come for you, and
sosnr'
Painful. loathsome, deadly, incurable
and Unsuitable disease-the cancer germ
has been working itself from the inside to
the front all these years of waiting and
making ready for this whisper and the
end.
The king has had several operations OF
late (as we are told several removals of
cancer from the inside of his throat, to
give him relief.
His breathing gets to be bad, the doctor
comes. the knife is brought out and the
people shake dismal heads when some
body asks: How long?''
Just so General Grant passed OF the
stage OF action and later Senator Hill of
Georgia, with throat cancer.
When the knife is brought in to relieve
pain the end Is not far of. The cancer
germ is then marching on the citadel of
life with all outposts carried.
The horizon draws in to the four walls
Of the death chamber. The watchers and
the doctors take the expected places of
ings OF congratulation and proud acclaim
from afar.
Mourners go about the house in tears and
gloom and thus passeth the glory, the
pomp and the vanity of earth's greatest
expectations!
May the poor king find rest and peace
when the end comes.

"Race Equality
Bh1possibk''


Governor Gambler in reply to a tele-
gram from New York newspaper has
written a pointed letter regarding the
education of the negro and equality be-
tween the Caucasian and African races.
The message sent out asking the gov
ernor for his views on this question is
from the Hearst syndicate Of newspa-
pers. d. yo lH
The following is the telegram received
by the governor:
NEW YORK, Nov. 1--Allen D. Gambler,
Governor of Georgia. Atlanta, Ca: Mr..
Hearst is getting up for his three papers,
the New York Journal, the Chicago
American, the SannFranoisco Examiner
and papers of the Hearst syndicate
throughout the cou1try a symposium for
this Sunday on ,edpcation of the negro.
Will you kindly wire collect today your
views as to whether the negro can be
benefited by education and as to whether
the men like washington can lead them
to the level of the white man. Has
Washingtons meeting with Roosevelt
helped or injured the problem? How
best to educate the negro? g.
c. ]. MAR,
The Hearst Syndicate.
The governor replied as follows:
&C. ]. Mar The Hearst Syndicate, New
york City: Rational education benefits
any people of whatever race. What the
ne gro needs most is moral education. The
states in which he lives are providing
reasonably we'll for his education in the
textbooks Washington is doing good
work for his race, but he cannot lead
them up as race to the level of the
white man. The white man is the high
est type of the human family; the negro
the lowest. God has made no other race
equal to the Caucasian, and education
cannot do that which God has failed to
do Individual members of the negro
race will rise to the level Of the white
race, but the race, as a whole, never will
"The receiving of Washington by the
president on terms Of social equality will
not affect the question in any way. If
sensational newspapers had not made 50
much ado about it nobody would have
thought or cared anything about 1t.

To the Atlanta Journal:
The past week l have been circu-
lating through the mountains Of Ken
lucky, east Tennessee, western Vir-
ginia and North Carolina. Surely a
weeks travel among the peaks Of the
Blue Ridge satisfies the desire one may
have had to visit Switzerland. The
beauty and grandeur of the scenery
surpasses description. The autumn
colori:g on these mountains is more
gorgeous and beautiful than a swarm
of butterflies among the stars. Big
Stone Gap, Va, is a beautiful little
city among the hills, lovely for situa-
ton and vigorous in growth. most
splendid, cultured people make up the
population. No finer bar in the state
than the lawyers of Big Stone Gap.
Their public buildings are a credit to
a city of $1,000.
London, KY, the seat Of Taylor's
government, where his Legislature met,
is another mountain town Of many
splendid people. My stay in those
towns was most pleasant. Large au-
diences greeted me at the lectures. At
London ! lectured in the Bennett
Training school building. God bless
Miss Bell Bennett. She Is the most
sensible, generous, selfsacrificing
woman in the south, and her life and
Q character furnish a model. She is wise
in her benefactions and many will rise
up In later years to call her blessed.
From there came to Asheville, N. G.,
the city Of attitudes and pure water
and air. Wondrous city, this. With
more than 800 cases of typhoid fever
now in the city, was told. A scourge,
a calamity has befallen them. That
dread disease seems to laugh at alti-
tudes, pure water and crisp atmos-
phere. From Asheville to Wilksboro,
n. c., the capital of the state of
Wilkes county. Here apples grow and
branay flows. The county where
preachers run still houses and MEM
hers drink. No saloons, but blind IT,
gers and wildcat stills furnish the
furnishing ones with apple Jack and
corn liquor. They defy the govern
ment and make fun of state officials.
Judges wink and solicitor generals
drink Sheriffs are as blind as the
tigers and preachers dumb in most
cases. Yet, withal, there are many
cultured, splendid people in this coun-
ty, and things make for the better all
the time. Some preachers in this
county are made Of stuff they once
made martyrs Of. Ground down by
poverty, yet game as a lion. I lee

and the village awoke, the beavers who
had so narrowly escaped death told the
others all. that had befallen them. And
then the chief of the beavers, an animal
so old that his whiskers were gray with
age issued a proclamation in which he
ordered all of his people to fasten wooden
paddles to their tails, so that in case or
a similar occurrence they would be able
to make enough noise to be heard by those
below, who could easily break through the
roof from within And the beavers,
obeying this order, soon found that these
paddles were of the greatest assistance
in building and plastering their houses;
and gradually, through much exercise In
using the wooden implements, the shapes
of their tails changed till they were large
and fiat, like the tails of beavers OF the
present time.

query. "Yes." "What name did you
bear last time?" "Michael Flynn"
Before that time what name did you
give?" "Joseph Mccarthy" "What is
your real name?" II decline to an

from New Hampshire town, where I

Every one who has had an experi-
ence about prisons and reformatories
can recall such incidents. There ought
to be some legal way of stopping such
an outrage. The great Irish Dominican
orator, Father Burke, used to tell a
story along the same line under the
name Of "Fatty Magginnis." He said:
II was down in Memphis and while
there cabman, driving cab in the

heard of it, said to myself: Fatty
must be an Americanism, but surely
Magginnis is an Irish name
anxious to find out, made some
inquiry and in a few days the truth
came out; the mans real name was
Vance. So these fellows will give
themselves this, that or the other
name, which is purely Irish, but when
you scratch little below the surface,
you will very often find some other
nationality. 1t is mighty convenient
to take an Irish name, for, like charity,
they make it cover multitude of

THE LAST IRISH WOLF.
Killed In the Wicklow Meuntains
In 1870,

Ireland was much infested with
wolves down to Il period comparatively
recent says the Spectator. That noble
dog, the Irish wolf hound, has been
bred from remote times for their de-
struction. Lord William Russell rec
ords in his diary that in 1896 he and
Lady Russell went wolf hunting Mt
Kilmainham-quite close to the capi-
tai! In 171O presentlncnt was made
in Cork county for destroying the
beasts, and Macaulay quotes IL poem
published in 1913 to prove that they
were quite common in Munster at that
time.
A writer in the Dublin Penny Maga-
zine was acquainted with an old man
whose mother remembered that many
wolves were slain in Wexford about
173O-l74O; and he cites popular tra-
ditiOn that the last wolf was killed
in the Wicklow mountain in ITO. The
same writer narrates some interesting
circumstances relating to the slaugh-
ter Of the last wolves at Tyrone. 1t
appears that the people Of those parts
were much troubled by wolves, which
committed great ravages upon their
1locks. A reward was offered, and n
noted hunter, Rory Carragh, sent for.
He agreed to attempt the destruction
of the beasts. There was n large stone
built sheepfold which the marauders
We're accustomed to visit, and thither
Carragh repaired at midnight, accom-
panied by boy IL years of age and
two wolf hounds. "Now," said Car
ragh to the boy, "as the two wolves
usually enter the opposite extremities
OF the sheep-fold at the same time, l
must leave you and one of the dogs
to guard this one while 1 go on the
other. He steals with all the caution
of n cat, nor will you hear him. but
the dog will, and positively will give

not active when he is down, to rivet
his neck to the ground with this spear,
he will rise up and kill both you and
the dog. So good night" "Pll do
what can," said the boy, as he took
the spear from the wolf hand.
Carragh departed for his own sta
ton, and the boy, entering the enclo-
sure, crouched down within the gate
With the dog beside him. The cold and
darkness affected the child 80 much
that soon, in spite of his danger, he
dozed of into stupor He was aroused
by the roar Of the great dog as he
bounded upon the wolf that was steal
ing by. The hound flung his enemy
upon the ground and so held him for
an instant. Then the boy drove his
spear with a good will through the
VOLTS throat, just as Carragh returned
bearing the head of the other.

Assume Irish Names.

Says R. G. Cleaner in the Columbian:
The Catholic Union and Times of
Buffalo some months ago printed this
narrative:
can impudent tramp. too lazy to
work, claiming that the world owed
him living, was arrested in this city
a few days ago. When sentenced to
the penitentiary for sixty days he took
the matter complacently, declared that
McNulty wasn't his real name, and
chuckled merrily that in that respect
he had fooled the police This is a
sample Of what is daily done in our
large cities all over the country. When
Jonathan Shocks gets arrested for
swindling, or Jebadiah Snodgrass is
grabbed by the police for burglary,
they give an unmistakable Irish name
with Nc or an O to it. Even a Jew
when arrested here in Buffalo some
time ago called himself Pat Kelly
And thus it comes to pass that so
many Irish names appear on our GRIM
inal records and that the Irish are
sneered at as contributing more than
any other race to the filling Of our
jails and penitentiaries. The Irish
have sins enough Of their own without
:arrying those of Yankee swindlers and
other thieves"

English representative at Pekin, as the
London papers say, it is because he
has proved himself worthy Of that con-
fidence. If it is wrong to do right,
then Count Cassini is at fault, for he
has certainly acted honorably with
China.
"For ten years he gave the Chinese
the benefit of his counsel, and then in
it's hour Of national peril not only
saved it from complete destruction at
the hands of Japan, but furnished the
money to pay; the war indemnity, and
thus saved it from the serfdom of Lon
don Shylocks. For this piece Of dis
interested friendship he earned for his
government the good will of China and
the envy of Japan and England.
"And while that friendship was
strong enough to have secured valua-
bic and exclusive favors, Russia has
never sought them. So far as the de-
signs of the Muscovite government are
concerned, 1O0-foot right Of way
through Manchuria and dockage room
upon the Yellow sea would have an
swered all it's purposes, but owing to
the disorganized conditions existing
after the war with Japan, the tempo
rary possession Of the Manchurian
province became necessary for it's own
protection. In fortifying Port Arthur
Russia took only such precautions as
were necessary for the safety of it's
$5O0,OOO,OOO railroad. But in doing
this it never attempted to close any
doors or disturb any treaty rights, as
is alleged, but on the contrary it threw

Washington Irving's Ssrrew.

when Il young man, rising to fame
as an author, Washington Irving fell
in love with Mathilda Hoffman" I"
writes William Perrine, in the April
Ladies' Home Journal. "To his eye
she was such an image Of delicacy and
purity that his love for her grew into
an idolatry. In the midst Of his
dreams Of future happiness there came
an Overwhelming blow from which he
never fully recovered. Mathilda was
taken sick with cold; it rapidly turn
ed into consumption, and it was his
agony to behold her fade away In a
single winter, but in his sight beauti-
full and more beautiful to the last.
During the three days and nights Of
her final sufferings he did not leave
her house and scarcely slept. He was
at her bedside when she died; his was
the last face that she looked upon, and
when the grave closed upon her the
world became blank to him in his dis
traction. In the nights Of his first an
guish after Mathilda's death he would
carry to his bed her Bible and prayer
book, and place them tenderly under
his pillow. Ever afterward he kept
them with him in all Of his many wan
derings and travels. When he died at
Sunnyside he had reached his three
score-and-ten, and his celibacy was
still unbroken. There was then found
a little repository of which he had al
ways kept the key. 1t was opened,
and there lay a faded memorandum
which told the story Of his sorrow, a
