Personal.

The Chinese ambassadors family in
sions, with amateur photography and
with private thearticals. Ye-Keng. be-
fore his government sent him to Paris,
had been Minister of War during the
war with Japan. Lady Yu-Keng is
only half Chinese. Her father was an
American, Mr.. Pearson of Boston, who,
living in China, married a Chinese
lady. The young people, therefore, en-
joy the rare distinction of being Yam
kee Chinese.
Commissioner Masfarland of the
District of Columbia, whose robust
idolatry of the President secured for
him his present lucrative Office, is so
much delighted with the autocratic
character of the district and municipal
government he presides over that he
advocates or suggests the extension of
the same sort of government to other
Arerican cities. The absolute disfran-
easement of the people in municipal
affairs and the entire abolition of self
rule are ideas that commend them
selves to his judgment. The humor of
his position may be detected in Mr..
Macfarland's claim that such gov
eminent would still be democratic.
Consul Haynes writes from Rouen:
The French palate, so sensitive and
highly educated, knows nothing of the
delicacy of frozen dainties. There is an
open field throughout the most of
France for everything connected with
the preparation of the cool drinks. Ice
cream freezers, milk shakers, soda
water fountains and refrigerators
would find a ready sale here if the
people knew of the comfort to be de
rived from their use. The Frenchman
has for generations innumerable liked
his hot wine and hot rum and hot
punch, but he has never thought of, or,
at least, has never cared to try, the
effect of an opposite sensation upon his
palate. This city of over $50, 900 peo-
pie has no ice factory, though a few
people keep ice in their cellars. If the
French were given an opportunity to
try them, they would not be long in
entering the market for ice cream, ice
shavers, electric fans and kindred ar
ticles, % and the American who intro
duced them would, without doubt, put
a considerable amount of money in his
own pocket,

ONLY A LITTLE DIPLOMACY NEED
ED.

It Is probable that by the time of
the meeting of Congress a treaty win
have been completed between this
country and Great Britain relative to
the Nicaragua canal that will be ac-
eeptable to the Senate. In our dis
patches yesterday Mr.. Frederick w.
Hollis, the United States member of the
International Court of Arbitration at
The Hague, was quoted as saying that
Our claim TO control and own abso-
lutely and conclusively any and all
isthmian canals is cordially recognized,
Of the authorities and organs of Great
Britain" Further along in his talk
Mr.. Hollis said that with skilled di-
plomacy on our part IL ought to be
easy to arrive at an agreement which
should be entirely satisfactory to Amer
lean public opinion without impairing
in the least the present cordial reIa-
lions existing between the two great
English speaking nations"
1t has been stated several times re-
Gently that a treaty relative to the
Nicaragua canal has been almost COM
pleted between our government and
that of Great Britain. The British gov
eminent knows just what the Senate,
in the last Congress, demanded in this
matter when the Hay Pauncefote
treaty was rejected. IL is hardly prob
able therefore that it would insist upon
placing in the treaty anything 1t knew
would not be accepted. If ii be true
that public opinion in England favors
giving this country the fullest liberty
on the Isthmus in the matter of
canal, the chances are that the Brit
ish government will recede from the
position it has all along occupied, and
will become a party to treaty that
will be acceptable to the American
people.
1t seems to be a quite difficult mat
ter to get the canal question into such
shape as win justify beginning work
on the canal. Indeed, it is not yet GER
tain that the canal will be built on
the Nicaragua route. Recently there
were some happenings that seemed to
point to the purchase of the Panama
canal by the United States. There is
no doubt that there are many well in
formed men in this country who be-
lieve the Panama route to be the bet
ter one. They hold that it would pay
this country to acquire the Panama
canal The reasons they give for TAX
ing this position appear to be pretty
strong ones.
The movement just at present is all
in the direction of the Nicaragua canal
but it would not take long to give it
a new direction. The American peo-
pie want that route chosen that will
give to the country the best return for
the money invested in it.

Could Say Nothing Dignined.

Before marriage shall have destroyed
Mr.. Harry Lehr's nice sense of dis
elimination and self judgment, says
the Man on the Street, in the New
York Times. it might be well to put on
record one of Mr.. Lehr's past modes
ties of expression.
A few weeks before Mr.. Lehr's we'd
ding reporter called on him at the
Waldorf in the reportorial line. and all
proper apology was made by the repor-
ter for living. This was necessarily
done through the Office on the occasion
of the first call, since Mr.. Lehr sent
word that he was taking a bath"
The following day the reporter called
again, and Mr.. Lehr was still taking a
bath. This ablutionary continuous per-
Torrance was booked for four days
apparently, and only terminated on
the fifth day after the reporter had
waited upon the much-washed Mr..
Lehr for three hours by the Waldorf
clock.
Mr. Lehr then appeared respondent
in lavender neck fixings and a pink
shirt front. In a stentorian voice he
inquired: Whats wanting?' The re-
porter stated the purpose of the inter
view, and to please Mr.. Lehr wound up
by saying: II have come to you upon
the matter because my paper desires a
dignified utterance, and"
Stop" shouted Mr.. Lehr, staring
classify at the gilt piano. stop! I will
not speak. 1 will not speak! Nothing
could say would be dignfied." The in
terview thus terminated.
Mr. Lehr had not said precisely what
he had meant, but what he had said
was-interesting.

Nnt So Green as He Looked.

BY way of enlivening the dullness OF
their existence several young tea plant
ers in Ceylon got up a duck shooting
party, says Tit-Bits One of their num-
Der was a very innocent youth fresh
from America. Him they left in punt
with a gun and directions to shoot any
ducks that flew over. They laughed as
they walked off. for not a duck was
likely to be seen within several miles.
The newcomer took the hoax very
well when they told him about 1t. At
supper that night he suddenly pulled
out a cartridge with the remark that
he thought he had put them all
away"
Somebody, of course, picked it up and
cut it open.
What a lot of shot" exclaimed the
greenhorn in amazement. How many
are there?"
No one knew, so the youngster sug-
gested a pool on the subject. They all
agreed, and a5 each was the amount
to go in, the nearest guesser to have
the whole Each one wrote his guess,
and when the shot were counted it was
found that the new mans number was
absolutely correct. He pocketed the
money and casually inquired:
What do you fellows think I was
doing in that blessed punt all the af-
ternOOn ?''

sLAuGHTERING TIE Colonies.

In the town of Suffolk. Va, down on
the Peninsula, where during the war
between the states so many CORY bat
ties were fought. there has been or
gained a Society for the Suppression
of Spurious Titles" The society has
1t in for those members of the COM
munity who arrogate to themselves
titles which they have never won.
1t is a move in the right direction.
One does not have to travel as far as
Suffolk to find offenders of the kind
against whom the rightful anger of
the society is to be directed. There
are judges, even in this neck of the
woods, who never rendered a decision
upon anything of more Importance than
a dog fight. and professors whose sole
claim to that title of distinction is de-
rived from the agility with which they
perform upon the tight wire or trip
the light, fantastic toe; there are cap
tains, who have led no flercer assault
than that they daily make upon the
tables wherein free lunches are spread,
and doctors, who never aspircd to the
treatment of any being higher in the
scale of evolution than the domestic
mule. Titles have ceased to be badges
of honor and merit and have come to
mean in themselves just nothing what
ever.
It is time to call halt and the move
ment that has been inaugurated in the
good town of Suffolk shall not lack
an advocate while we continue in bust
ness at the old stand. Titles mean
something, or rather should mean
something, and ought not to be be-
slowed merely to crafty the vanity or
solace the disappointed ambitions of
those who have never won and have
no right to wear them.
1t is not fair to those who can claim
a title by reason of successful effort
or recognized merit or well-earned dis
tinction, to have the same title worn
by every popular vagabond whose. te-
merity will suffer him to accept, at The
hands of good natured friends, Its be-
stowal. The outward signs of dignities
nobly won have a value in themselves.
and it is certainly part of the in
spiration that ambition offers youth
that in the after years those who at
tain their hearts desire shall receive
the recognition of the community in
which they live.
We applaud and bid God-speed the
Suffolkian enterprise. We cannot for
bear the fear that it will not be crown
ed with perfect success, but we mix
enough philosophy with our morality
to welcome even a very small change
for the better. If the society can re-
duce the number of those who wear
titles to which they have neither right
nor Just excuse, we shall feel that it's
raison de'etre has been fully justified.
In return for our advocacy of its
principles and support of it's projected
campaign we only ask that when II
comes to WELD it's AK 1t will remem-
Der that we, too, have got a little
list" on which are the names of any
number of judges, colonies. captains.

least--we can assure our friends in

The Alabama Constitutional Conven-
ton held the cup containing a limited
franchise TO the lips of the women of
that state. only to dash II away with
an abruptness that was almost rude.
Chivalry welcomed the addition of wo-
men to the voting population of Ala
bama, but good sense dictated retreat
from the proposition before it was too
late. 1t is, perhaps. fortunate. The be-
stowal of the right to vote would have
been followed by the bestowal of the
right to hold office, and the result
would have been that the Alabama
ship of state would have been directed
sex; not alone the helm, but every
sail would have been manned" by wo-
men. The desire to rule is never
wholly dormant in the female breast.
There would have been women candi-
dates for every Office in the gift of the
people. and who can imagine an Ala
bamian so lost 10 every sense of
chivalry as to overlook. when he de-
posted his ballot, one of the fair
daughters Of his state for any mere
man. To have women in all the Of
fees would. possibly. be not an un-
mixed good, and ii is perhaps as well
that the Craig resolution was recon
sidered and lost. Let the women solace
themselves with the thought that each
one Of them rule at least one man
anyhow,

Those European manufacturers who
lift their hands in establishment at the
success of American business enter
prises might learn lesson from an in
cident that occurred in Toledo six
weeks ago. A corporation there that
had to issue its check for s12 ,0OO. 900 on
the last day of June, dated it day
later, in order to save the two-cent
revenue stamp required by the earlier
date. 1t shows that in this country
every attention is paid to the details
of business, and that thrift and care
mark every business transaction. 1t
was not parsimony-it was just sense,
that dictated the action of the Toledo
corporation, and it is the sort of sense
that makes of American business men
the best in the world.

II is better to have kissed and kissed

There is a new theory about every

II is a funny thing that most every

The man that a woman can hate

The peach season. which is about
over in the Fort Valley and Marshal
Vile section. is about at its hight in
the peach growing counties of the state
little further north. The peach grow
ers in all parts of the state. where the
crop has been fairly good, are in very
happy frame of mind. They have re-
ceived exceptionally good prices, and
consequently have we'll filled purses.
There is no doubt that this years ex-
perience of the peach growers will have
the effect of causing a very great In
crease in the peach acreage. Even if
the crop had been much larger one
the prices would have remained high, as
the peach market has been greatly ex-
tended by the admirable arrangements
for distributing the fruit and for keep
ing shippers posted as to the needs of
the market in the various cities to
which the peaches are sent There is
no doubt that peaches are destined to
be a great source of wealth to Georgia.

CURRENT COMMENT.

The Philadelphia Times Qnd. Dem.)
says: Another burning at the stake
this time in Georgia-tends to prove
what was said in these columns few
days ago. Lynching is a brutal mania
which takes hold of the people at GER
tain seasons, and there seems to be no
present method of restraining them
from INDUCING their savage passion.
Scarcely a day has passed in the last
week or two when we have not had
news of some terrible outrage of this
kind Hot weather is known to increase
insanity among individuals. 1t may b
a factor in the psychology of the
crowd"

Comes now Coin Harvey with excali-
bar drawn against Senator James x.
Jones of Arkansas, chairman of the
National Democratic Executive Com
mittee. charging him with incompe-
tence as campaign manager. We
trust Mr.. Harvey does not regard this
statement as information or an item
of news. Coins sideswipe at those
weak party leaders who want office
and power and who go as the wind
blows is not amiss. 1t is not a new
truth. but in this case IT comes from
q new source"

THE South Carolina citizen who has

should be interpreted by all his ag-
grieved hearers as defamatory the
South Carolina courts would have TO
