Wheeler's Ridiculous Fling at Lord Pauncefote and Prince Henry.

more. Possibly MT. Wachter has never plaintively warbled that exquisite sere- made warble the refrain and whole thing of which thus sweetly trills;
 "Baitimore gals, can't yer come out ter Can't yer come out ternight come ont
 ternight?
 Baltimore gals, can't yer come out ter
 night,
 Can't yer come out ternight, come out
 ternight?"
 This sponger of cloths can't have heard that dreamful melody so dear to the descendants of the men of Fort McHenry. for if he had heard it he assuredly could not have sought to make kind of mock cry of a peoples sorrow and of their re- ligion. This is presicely what Mir. Wach- ter would do in his bill to make the 14th day of April in each year Martyrs Day." in commemoration of the murder of Lincoln, Garfield and Mckinley
 Neither of these men was any nearer to being a martyr than either of the men who died for staying them. Lincoln was killed in a playhouse by crazy actor; Garfield, while undertaking a pleasure trip, was killed in railway station by crazy man who did not intend to kill him, but accidently shot him In attempting to murder another man, Mir Blaine, to-wit; and Mckinley was killed on a pleasure trip by an anarchist whose baleful pas sions had been fed by yellow journalism.
 All honor and reverence for these mur- dered leaders of the people, one of whom we still freshly mourn Let us build monuments to them, for each was slain while holding the peoples highest honor the worlds most exalted station, all of us Americans feel. But if the spirit of either of these great ones could again stoop to the things of this earth, 1t would be in protest against the proclamation of the holy title martyr.
 Sponger of Cloths Wachter Is one of multitude who seek to make martyr" as cheap as they have made patriotic"

ALLEY-WAYS.
om the Selma Times.

From the Selma Times.
 Some of our cities are beginning to kick against alleys They say that they are nuisances. Repositories for old papers, rags, trash boxes and filth generally and localities for crime and lurking places for criminals; and we believe the kick is about right. One has only to look at see what eye-sores they are. It would be better for the appearance. the health and comfort of the city if there was not an alley in 1t. Wherever there Is one it would be better if there were a street, and where there is width enough for a street it would be better if the alley was abolished.

TIE KING AND MIR. scHWAs.

From the Chicago Inter Ocean.
 If one had been privileged to listen in an ante-room one might perhaps have got an inkling of the conversation from such broken phrases as "Used to like baccarat myself" Never took much stock in a system" Did you try doubl- ing?" "Yes, stud will do when there is no limit" "Ping-pong? Oh. yes; lit- tle," Wish I could have you" How did it get out?' "Yes. have had lot of beg garly trouble like that myself" and much more to the same effect.
 All of which must go to prove that those ties of friendship between the two nations are growing closer every day.

New York Letter in the Pittsburg Dis-

 Young Jan Kubelik may need an unre- quilted love affair to make him soulful but a course of Lili Lehman will cure him of his bashfulness Mime. Lehman started in Saturday night. The big audi enoe at Carnegie Hall had been charmed by a combination of Lehman and Ku- belik in the Gounod Ave Maria" and testified their appreciation In the usual way. Mime. Lehman advanced on Ku- belik, but he took to the wings. She cap tured him and dragged him into full glare of the lights, but he broke away. She caught him again. The house was in an uproar. Now you be a good little boy" said Mime. Lehman, and she put her arm around the young violinist. Then the audience cheered. Kubelik went crimson.

oil Versus Coal.

Texas oil is now being used pretty freely by some of the sugar planters or Louisiana. and it seems to be giving sat isfaction," said an Alabama coal operator yesterday.
 ''The fact that oil Is cheaper than coal will tend to curtall the demand for the output of steam fuel mines, but mine owners will soon adapt themselves to the new conditions and find way to cope with coars new rival, or to work up new territory where oil cannot come in com petition. The Alabama output will be larger this year than ever before. Oil as fuel does not affect the coking coal trade"

IN SCHOOL DAYS.

By John G. Whittier. Still sits the schoolhouse by the road,
 A ragged beggar summing; Around it still the sumachS grow
 And blackberry vines are running. Within. the masters desk is seen
 Deed-scarred by raps official: The warping floor, the battered seats,
 The jackknife's carved initial; The charcoal frescoes on it's wall;
 It's doors worn sill, betraying The feet that. creeping slow to school,
 Went storming out to playing! Long years ago a winter sun
 Shone over it at setting; Lit up it's western window panes,
 And low caves icy fretting. It touched the tangled golden curls
 And brown eyes full of grieving Of one who still her steps delayed
 When all the school were leaving. For near her stood the little boy
 Her childish favor singled; His cap pulled low upon a face IF
 Where pride and shame were mingled. usilllB Wltll TeStleSS rect the snow
 To right and left, he fingered As restlessly her tiny hands
 The blue-checked apron fingered z He saw her lift her eyes; he felt
 The soft hands light caressing, .----.. ! And heard the tremble of her voice.
 As if a. fault confessing ! I'm sorry that I spelt the word:
 I hate to go above you, Because"-the brown eyes lower fell
 Because, you see, I love you!" Still memory to gray-haired man
 That sweet child-face is showing. Dear girl! The grasses on her grave Have forty years been growing. He lives to learn, in life's hard school, { How few who pass above him Lament their triumph and his loss.
 Like her-because they love him.

LUCIEN JULIEN WALKER.
THE BEATEN BOERS.

From the Louisville Courier-Journal.
 The rise in the Berlin and Paris bourses every time news comes from South Af- rica indicating that the war is drawing to a close Is a little incongruous in view of the sympathy so freely expressed by the French and German for the Boers Still, it is fact as the financial cables plainly show, London leading in the rise in prices only because of its very much greater commitm ents in every quarter. The buying of mining shares particularly is said to be of the best quality both on the Continent and in Great Britain, investors paying for the stocks and locking them up in their strong boxes. This shows not only their convic- ton that the war will soon be over, but that all material interests will benefit by the security of English rule.
 The news of General De Vets escape from the elaborate trap set by Lord Kitchener was construed from the start as meaning that organized resistance by the Boers was on the verge of col lapse. Later details confirm this im- presslon, and though the gallant De Wet escaped he carried off only few of his men, according to the cablegrams published in London yesterday. The conclusion is inevitable that the South African war may now be regarded as a negligible quantity. Brave as the Boers are and skillful as are their leaders, they have to face heavy and increasing odds The offer of the Dutch government was proof that the Boer leaders are beginning to open their eyes to a situation that was apparent to the whole outside world from the beginning. The lack of practical wis., dom shown in protracting a struggle which only meant extinction has always served as an offset to the sympathy so freely extended the brave and daring Dutch.

John Skelton Williams.

Several papers have recently published sketches of John -Skelton Williams of Richmond, president of the Seaboard Air Line. in which the railroad magnate S age was stated at 37. but the fact is Williams is not yet 36-will not be 96 until July" said a prominent railroad man.
 Williams began his railroad career with the old Savannah, Americus and Montgomery, which he reorganized in 1895 under the title of the Georgia and Ala bama. He was president of this line be- fore he was % years old.
 Williams had been operating the Geor- gia and Alabama successfully for four years before he attempted to branch out. He was hurrying along a thoroughfare of Baltimore one morning when he met a friend who stopped him and said: Will Hams, you are an ambitious sort of fel- low; why don't you go and buy the Sea- board Air Line?
 "I don't suppose it can be bought, replied Williams.
 "'Yes it can be bought, and you are the very man to get control of it. said the friend
 After saying he would look into the matter, Williams hurried on. In less than three days Williams syndicate had secured control of the Seaboard Air Line and Williams was at once elected pres ident. The public is familiar with the young financier's rapid development of the Seaboard Air Line system, and with the hard fight he had with Thomas F. Ryan of New York, who was supposed to represent the Southern Railway Com pany Wall street predicted that Williams would lose out. but Williams wasn't built that way. The Seaboard Air Line now has 26OO miles of track and when it gets to Birmingham 1t will have 1GO odd miles more"

by MT. Deboe, ana while laDorlng under the delusion pledged himself not to stand for another term in the House. After a canvass of the state his heart failed him. There was really no race at all Ex-Gov- ernor McCreary, in the lingo of the turf, made a holy show of his company, and galloped home an easy winner under an idle rein and in long loose stride.
 There will be those to fancy that Mr. Wheeler speaks for Kentucky in this in suit to Germany But that will do that old commonwealth an injustice. To apply in slightly altered form a famous line of MT Lowell, God help Kentucky, she is kneel- ing with the rest! The city of Louisville, speaking for the state, has requested the pleasure of visit from the Little Dutch man during his stay in the country. And no one familiar with that city or that state can entertain a doubt as to how those people would acquit themselves as host on such an occasion. The Little Dutchman' would find there other Little Dutchmen' who have come to prominence and great influence in the blue grass bailiwick. and are able to hold their own with the natives at horse race, game of draw or any other popular diversion of a spirited community.
 But at last, this is the point and it ought not to be overlooked in the case of an individual from the horse country This man is not leader in the Demo- cratic team. but only Wheeler And clumsy, and balky. **

CALIFORNIA DIVORCES.
Supreme Court Knocks Out Law FOrbidding
Remarriage Within Year.

A San Francisco dispatch of yester-
day says that in a decision handed down
by Justice Garoutt of the Supreme Court
of California and concurred in by JUS
tices Mcfarland and Henshaw, the mar
riage of divorced persons in Reno or
elsewhere within one year from the
granting of the divorce in that State, is
declared legal
In the opinion of the Court the legis-
lative law forbidding such marriages
within a year of the filing of the decree
was not properly drawn up, because 1t
does not make the granting of absolute
divorce a matter OF a years delay.
The Supreme Court holds that under
the law the divorce is absolute as soon
as the decree Is recorded. This ruling
OF the Court legalizes hundreds of mar
riages which have been solemnized at
Reno, with a view to escaping the clause
in the California divorce law providing
for years delay after the granting of
a divorce in that State before either of
the divorced parties can wed again.

Determining Weight OF Ore.

One way to tell the weight of ore in
a mine 'in sight is TO exactly measure
excavation from whence a known weight
of ore has been removed. Determining
the weight of ore in place is a work re-
quiring extreme care. Thirteen cubic
feet to the ton applies only to solid
quartz rock; In case of oxidized ores It
may require from fifteen to even eighteen
cubic feet to he ton. while in lead. zinc
and other base metal mines, 1t may re-
auire less than thirteen cubic feet to the
ton. As a general rule. 1t may be stated
that the cubic contents of an ore body
in feet. divided by eleven II sulphides and
by fifteen II oxidized. will give the ton
mage approximately.
