MacauIay's Wonderful Energy.

From the London News.
 No life was ever lived at higher pressure than that of Macauley. He was not only Hike a book in breeches," as Sydney Smith said of him; he was also like an in- tellectual steam engine. Iris thirst for knowledge only eqnalled by his amazing capacity for retaining knowledge and by his passionate interest In all the aspects of life. 'I wish 1 knew as much of any thing as Macaulay knows of everything" said Melbourne. and though the epigram may have been intended as a gibe 1t ap- proximated to the truth.

Pudsey Suited Him.
Spare Moments.

From Spare Moments.
 A country yokel from Pudsey, having joined the yeomanry during the late war, was dispatched with his regiment to South Africa.
 Upon his arrival at Cape Town, he was much impressed with the way the troops were rushed to the front and in his first engagement was seen to be making off toward the railway as fast as his legs would carry him. On being questioned as to his destination, he said:
 q am going hoam. Thers barn to be somebody awther lamed or killed here"
 ''But'' replied the officer, If you are killed on the battlefield you will leave in history"
 'T-but A'd sooner live I Pusda!" re- piled the yokel.

Efforts appreciated.

Everybody knows it is almost
impossible to get shoes, these days
made from leather tanned after the
old fashioned way. Yet there are
some good shoes, We hunted the
world over-we found every day
shoes and Sunday shoes, in all
styles for men and boys, plain calf,
box calf, velour calf, kids, patent
kids, patent colts, patent calf high
top, regular top, low cuts, that are
still being made out of honest
material. We thought it best to
handle such goods at small mar
gin of profit rather than those with
larger profit and less quality. We
are happy to know our efforts have
been appreciated. Our shoe depart
ment has more than doubled We
thank you, and shall still keep the

NOT LOVELY.

In the Republican camp there is
much restlessness. 1t is concern
ing the grip Of trusts on the ad-
ministration and their domination
in commercial interests. The
trouble has been clearly diagnosed
but the remedy has not yet receiv-
ed the unanimous approval Of
the party.
Many politicians favor a remedy
that would check the power Of
trusts, while the administration
defenders want catnip tea kind
administered 4 homoepaiiricaiiy,
while others would 90 after the
trouble more heroically with big
dose of calomel, followed by a
dose of salts.
There are many politicians in
washington at present, and the
so-called "Iowa idea" is discussed
by them with much interest. The
Iowa idea" is that the way to
curb some Of the trusts is to re-
move the tariff schedules that shell
ter them. The President and the
standpatters hold that war on trusts
must not include any changes of
the tariff. The difference is radi-
cal. Hence the interest in the
coming Iowa convention.

29.-Prince Wolffgang Zu Stolburg-

the park Of his castle at Rottleberode.
probably committed suicide. His father
lay in the castle of Stolburg and the
son started to drive from his own cas-
tie at Rottleborode to spend the night
by his fathers body. The prince took
a hunting rife with him in the car
riage. AS the family explains 1t was
his custom to shoot game during his
drives. While the. carriage was still
in Rottleborode park the prince told
the driver to stop, got out and walked,
carrying his rifle, into the thick woods.
The driver later heard shot and wait
ed q long time for the princes return.
Then the man searched the woods and
found the prince dead, shot In the
head. and his hands still clutching the
rife.
The body lay in the woods five hours
while a coffin was being brought to the
spot. The prince, who was fifty-three
years Of age. was a hereditary member
Of the Prussian house Of lords. His
father was elevated from the rank of
count to that Of prince this year. The
bodies Of the father and son will prob
ably be buried side by side. M sss

WANTS THEIR TESTIMONY.
Miners Attorney Asks That Baer and
.Sa Others BE Called

Philadelphia, Jan. 29.-The anthra.
cite coal strike commission heard ad-
I. ditional testimony from the independ-
ent operators. The examination of the
witnesses tn, counsel for the miners
was conducted with view of ascer-
tanning the reasons why the independ-
ent operators preferred to permit the
flooding of the company mines rather
/ than grant their employees an eight
hour working day.
John Weber, superintendent Of J. S.
Wentz' Hazel Brook colliery, said in
his opinion the company wanted to
manage its own business. a-
Attorney Darrow, for the miners, ad-
dressed the commission and asked that
the presidents Of the coal carrying
roads be brought before the commits
Eslt>n to testify concerning the alleged
limitation OF the coal production
There has been testimony before
this commission" said Mr.. Darrow,
"that the miners have limited the coal
production. We believe the restrie-
ton has been made by the operators.
But SO long as the companies have
made the charge want them to bring
before the commission the presidents
of the coal carrying roads In order
that we may be able to learn the facts.
K Attorney Darrow asked Chairman
Gray II he thought an operator had
any more right to order miner to
load D. certain number Of cars daily
than had miner to tell an operator
he would load only q certain number
Chairman Gray answered negatively, j,
but said one miner had no right to re- 3
strict the working hours OF another.
