DR.. Currx,s Hnndicap.

DR.. j. L. M. Curry, special ambassa-
dor to Spain, tells the following anec-
dote, says Harper's Magazine:
In the discharge of his duties in pro-
noting the cause of education he has
been frequently called upon to address
the pupils of schools he has been visit
ing. On one occasion he was at a rural
school, and the usual address was ex-
pected at the close of the exercises. The
children went through a number of
calisthenic exercises, which were, prob
ably, somewhat elaborated in honor of
the distinguished visitor, and then
came the doctors speech. Thinking
that 1t was favorable occasion to i'm
press upon his youthful auditors the
Importance of drill and practice, the
doctor, after expressing the pleasure
that the exercises had given him, told
the children that they had done far
better than he could have done, and
then asked
Can some one of you tell ME why it
is that I cannot do these calisthanic
exercises as well as you have dore
them?"
After an instant's pause a small
hand went up, and, on receiving an en-
eouraging word from the doctor, 4 lit
tie boy stood up and said:
Cause you are old and stiff in the
j'ints, which was not exactly the
answer either expected or desired.

fence and wide observation. He is on

in the position which he takes? That
is a question which cannot be ans
wered at this distance from the scene
Of the trouble. In fact. it is doubtful
If it can be answered at all-that is
satisfactorily.
A Washington special says that an
extra session of Congress will not be
called to aid in settling the strike.
What could Congress do in the mat
ter? It seems. however. that the strik-
ers have been considering the advisa-
bility of asking Congress to undertake
to bring about settlement.
If Mr.. Morgan agrees with Mr..
Hewitt, assuming of course that he
has the power to bring the strike to
an end, he will let the operators and
strikers fight it out. If he has been
quoted correctly that is the position
he has taken.

Ex-Gov. Hogg in London.

Ex-Gov. Hogg, of Texas, recently
returned from a visit to England.
For a time much was said of him be-
cause of his refusal to wear knee
breeches at the kings leeve. Every
body's Magazine prints two incidents
of his life while in London:
At lunch one day in the mansion of
a distinguished earl, the ex-governor
of Texas met a duchess who became
SO highly interested in his picturesque
personality that she asked him to ac-
company her TO a reception for which
she was bound, so he could tell her
more stories about his oil wells. Hogg
politely declined, explaining that he
was going to devote the afternoon to
seeing the town from the top of bus.
Better come along, too, ma'am," he
said.
After some hesitation the lady con-
scented, and the governor gently helped
her to a seat on the roof of the bus,
pulling his own huge proportions up
after her. Together they had a long
ride and got a good look at the city.
Governor" she said, 81 can almost
imagine myself in Texas. 1 never be-
fore rode on the top of a London bus"
At the close of a fashionable dinner
in London, the ex-governor found HIM
self at the door of the mansion beside
a handsome woman who had sat OPP
posite to him at the table, but whose
name he had not caught. She awaited
her carriage, but was unescorted.
Surely you are not going home
alone. madam said the polite COVER
nor to the lady.
Thank you, governor" she said,
but I'm perfectly safe. My carriage
is now below"
But. madam" he persisted. Sin Tex
as we never permit a lady to go home
alone from a party 1 should esteem
1t a great favor to be allowed to es-
cort you to your house."
Il won't trouble you, governor" she
replied cordially, but you may see me
to my carriage"
This rejection of his company set
Gov. Hogg thinking that he had COM
mitted an error, and he proceeded to
consult Ambass 1dor Choate.
They do things differently over
here" explained the ambassador
gravely. 1T was not quite the right
thing for you to do to offer to take
the lady home, but don't worry. That
was the famous Duchess of c., one
of the brightest and most practical
women in London. and she'll not think
the worse of you for your mistake
The ambassador smiled reassuredly.
"Choate,' said the governor, wasn't
it clever of me to pick out such a sem
sible and fine-looking lady as the
Duchess of c. to make that Texas
break on?"

WHICH is THE RIGHT OPINIONS

1t is stated in many quarters that
Mr. Morgan can end the coal strike
at once, and extraordinary pressure is
have him end it, Abram S. Hewitt
says that Mr.. Mitchell, the president
of the United Mine Workers, is the
man to end the strike.
Is the opinion of those who are urg-
ing Mr. Morgan TO end the strike or
that of Mr.. Hewitt the right one? 1t
is by no means certain that MIR, Nor
gan has the power attributed to him.
1t is probable that he has an interest
in the coal carrying roads, but no evil
dence has yet been presented to show
that he has a controlling interest in
them. 1t is doubtful therefore if he
is the power he is thought to be in
this matter. There is only one way in
which he could end the strike, assum-
ing that his influence with the coal
operators is as great as it is alleged
to be, and that is by making substan-
tial concessions TO the strlkers-in
fact by granting what they ask

SOME WALL STREET spEcuLAroRs

A Chicago dispatch. published in
many papers last Tuesday, contained
much food for reflection. 1t gave an
account of the presence on a train
from Chicago to New York on that
day of John W. Gates and John
Cleveland Osgood. Gates and Osgood
are the leaders of the opposing fac
tons that were engaged last week
In the struggle for the control of the
Colorado Fuel and Iron Company a
company whose shares a few months
ago sold for as much as $3.50 per share,
but which, owing to the fight for the
control Of the property, are now sell
ing much below par.
In the struggle last week at Denver,
Col, Osgood was the victor and the
report was that Gates, who expected
to be the victor, had loaded up with
the stock and therefore lost heavily.
Some of the reports made the losses
of the firm to which he belongs as
much as SS,400,000 OF course there
may have been but little truth in these
reports.
According to the special dispatch re-
ferred to Gates and Osgood did not
meet on the train. Each knowing the
other was a passenger, it is probable
they took good care not to meet, but
neither hesitated to express his opin-
ion of the other.
Speaking of Gates and his crowd in
connection with the Colorado Coal and
Fuel Company Osgood said: These
men are nothing in the world but a
crowd of stock spectators pure and
simple. They have no businesslike
idea of operating the property Had
they got possession of it they would
have run it so that the stockholders
would have suffered a serious loss"
Gates said of Osgood: I'm view of
his record there is no telling what
he will do with this property"
And these men, and men like them.

which millions upon millions of dol
lars are invested-money of honest in

of estates-by buying a majority of
the shares or by some other means
and use them for purposes of their
own. Notice what they think OF each
other and then imagine what chance

session OF what they own in proper
ties which fall into the hands Of such

In the Pennsylvania hill country
where such first names as Noah, CAIN
Ananias Absalom, Judas etc, are
common. a clergyman who has a cir
cult in Lehigh County was called a
few days ago to officiate at a christ
ening, says the New York Times.
When he arrived at the woodman's
cabin the wife seemed to be in charge
of affairs. The baby was in white, and
a few of the neighboFs, members of
the same congregation, had been in
vited, and were seated under the
trees. When the baby was brought
out by the parents the clergyman
asked:
with what name shall I christen
the child?"
Mas" promptly answered the wife
"Nias? repeated the minister,
slightly bothered. Where did you find
such a name?"
I'm the Bible" said the wife.
Il guess not" said the preacher,
mildly.
"Oh, yes it's in the Bible" coolly
answered the wife. "Ananias Is in the
Bible. This is a little boy, and we
only want to call him Mas, without
the Anna"

SAVANNAH AS a coALING STATION

The prospects for a great coaling
station at Savannah seem to be bright
ening. Should the traffic arrangement
between the Detroit Southern and the
Seaboard Air Line, referred to In our
dispatches yesterday, be consummat-
ed-and it seems to be the idea that
it VIII be-a direct line from the coal
fields If the Virginias, North Carolina
and Tennessee to the sea at Savannah
would be opened up, and a coaling sta
ton would be one of the enterprises
inaugurated by the roads. We have
many times urged the desirability of
having such a station at this port
ping throughout the South Atlantic
and Gulf sections. Ships bound across
the ocean would then avoid the dan
gerous and costly trip around the
North Carolina capes to Norfolk or
Newport News for bunker coal. They
would be able to coal at the convent
ent port of Savannah and take a di-
rect course across to Europe. And
in winter they could travel by the
southern route across, thereby saving
much money in insurance. Our idea
heretofore has been to bring coal from
the Alabama fields, but if it can be
brought from the Pocahontas and other
fields it will accomplish precisely the
same purpose, so far as the port is
concerned. We believe that a large
coaling station will be established here
within short time. There is a de-
mand for it. And when it comes, and
the great dry dock plant takes its
place among local industries. we ex-
pect to see a shipbuilding establish
ment shortly follow. Savannah's adj
vantages are every day becoming bet
ter understood and appreciated by
large investors.
