TEDDY'S TERRIBLE TEMPER.--The
Washington correspondent of the
News and Courier says: Official
cares dc not sit lightly on the shoulders
OF the President. He is hot such q
man as William Mckinley was when il
comes to not letting business make his
life miserable. The. bu,dcn he carries
gals Theodore Roosevelt. His friends
nearly every day discover evidences of
this fact. Shortncss of temper is the
chief of these evidences. Even his
dearest friends are likely to get cross
word Tor which the President is very
sorry the minute 1t is uttered. An apo
logy follows each manltesting irrita-
ton, rs a matter of course.
Yesterday Que of his oldest friends
III the newspaper business called and
received such a rebukc for coming
without having made an engagement
beforehand that he was almost taken
OFF his feet. When the President got
around to it, he explained thai he was
80 harasscd by the men who want Of
Ices and who cannot be suppressed
that he has no time for anything. Like
Gen. Harrison, the elder, Roosevelt
started in with the intention of seeing
every man, no matter how fllmsy the
excuse for desiring TO take up bis time.
Naturally the stream of callers grows.
Some time soon even such strong
man as Roosevelt will have to bow to
the unwrittcn rules that govern the
"soilary man" in the White House
and preserve his energies for those
subjects and men, too, who have a
claim upon him.

Eugenie's Prescfence.

The ex-Empress Eugene received a
part Of her education at ladies' school
in Clifton, England, where she made
herself general favorite, for she was
then one of the most beautiful girls in
Europe. An old schoolmate tells the
following story of those days: The

Rural Guest at Hotel Tells Employes
Not to Wait for Son.
Colonel Eden, proprietor of the Great
Northern hotel, stands sponsor for the
following story: A few days ago an old
man and his son registered at the hotel.
They were undeniably from the rural
districts, and they looked with wonder
at the electric lights and the hurry and
hustle of big hotel. They were ap-
palled at the cable cars that moved
without any apparent motive, power,
and the tall buildings they regarded
with feelings evidently akin to awe.
The fathe. and son remained three
days at the hotel. The first night they
retired at the time they observed in the
country, which was about $50 O'Clock.
The following night the boy, who pro-
badly wanted to taste of the pleasure
Of city life by gaslight, was out until
after midnight and his father was very
uneasy.
Up and down the rotunda walked the
| old man. He would approach the desk
and begin to say something to the clerk,
| change his mind and walk away faster
than he had come. The two were talk
ing Of the guests strange behavior

stimulus in this important field of human
activity, such as could perhaps be obtain
ed IN no other way, and to direct the at
tention of the American public In the
most emphatic manner to the importaare
OF giving substantial patronage to native
artists and sculptors. To this end the
entire art exhibit will be confined to the
work Of New World artists. Buffalo has

and cascades, as we'll as the plaza and
esplanade and surrounding buildings, will
be grandly illuminated with these same
incandescent lights, employed in such a
way as to intensity the charm Of the
whole magnificent scheme. To give some
adequate idea of the scale upon which
this illumination is to be conducted, it
may be mentioned that about 400 miles
of wire will be used in the insulation Of
the lamps in and around the court of
fountains, comprising in all about 25O
tons of copper wire Of all sizes. The elec-
trio energy for the production Of this
vast illumination will be obtained in part
from Niagara Falls, which is to furnish
5,0OO-horse power and 5,OOO-horsc power

advantage of greater resources of power

Chinese literature is so extensive that

imperial libraries of the present dynas-

less than $1,000 books and itself fills

writer's have described the collection
as a whole as vast library of oriental
conceit and dreary wilderness of
words, the Able Remusat, a genuine
student of the Chinese language, wrote
enthusiastically regarding their charm,
saying he found in them :'eloquence
