The attorney general of New York
told legislator he could not lawfully
accept pass from transportation, or
frank from telephone and telegraph
companies.
In doing this the attorney exposed his
true nature as an opposite of discord.'
All the legislators are, therefore,
"down on him. like 10 hundred build

Nevertheless, he is right, wholly and
everlastingly right.
No maker of law, no guardian OF law,
no Judge of law should be permitted to

All Should Attend.

The attendance at the Teachers
Meeting" Jan. u was small, and last
Saturday smaller.
Herein the teachers err, and err
grossly. The "never-too- late-to-learn
proyerb seems to be outside their PHI
losophy.
Some time ago Il county paper crlh-
cized the importation of teachers when
the county has teachers of its own.
This sort of fault-fnding would be
fair if the public school system mad
been projected and established solely to
give teachers employment, and TINS
without regard to qualifications.
But the system is designed for the
training of the people children-not to
afford "time' to teachers.
Hence, the people really expect ana
are entitled to he best "ork their money
will buy, no matter where it comes
from.
Rightly considered it is ii serious
matter TO parents to have their money
and the only school age Ill the HNca vi
their children squandered because teach
ers and people with political pulls prey
upon school money as though 1t We're an
"outside pension fund.
For this reason, if no other, all teach
crs should make the very best use OF
every opportunity they enjoy to learn
something more of the Divine Art OF
Training the Young.
The strangers here come from scholas-
tic fields where the evolution OF best
methods is continually i'll force and
etfect-where everybody, i'll short, is
still learnjHq.
These should be heard, even "for the
looks of the thing" by those who nm
agine they already know it all.

GAYETY KILLED
MABEL BOUTON
LIFE OF THE YOUNG STAGE "a.
VORITE SLIGHTED.
MOTHER-LOVE REMAINED
Sad Ending Of Career That Might
Have Been Long and Happy but for
False Friends--AII Ends in a New
York HospitaI-Tried to Take Her
Own Life.

Mabel Bouton, stage favorite and
beauty, is dead in New York at the age
of twenty-fOur.
When life should have been only
opening to her in the fullest sense of
It's meaning, this little actress had eX-
hausted its wholesome lows and moss
Of its forbidden fruit. The pace that
kills in her case was swift IN its work.
Success rightly used is strong factor
in the sum Of happiness. Abused, its
power is as great in an opposite direc-
ton. From the time when, scarcely
sixteen years old, she made her debut
on the stage in Little Christopher by
means of a graceful dance, her popu-
larity was assured. It takes a strong
head. coupled with extreme youth, to
remain we'll poised in the midst Of
stage adulation. Artificial lights.
flowers, jewels and the cheering cup
make a combination that proves a
subtle poison if persistently imbibed.
Mabel Bouton is only one of numer-
Gus examples of the human moths
who are found in New York. Many
fly from the fascinating candlelight
with singed wings and marred beauty
Others, like the dainty Bouton girl
find no escape. From childhood the
stage glitter beckoned to her in her
far-off home, Reno, New, 1t proved
too strong to resist after Madeline and
Cloy, elder sisters, chose theatrical
careers. So long as her sisters re
NAMED in New York little Mabel felt
their restraining influence in her life
But after Madeline married Baron
Guido Nemptsch and went abroad
and Clogs wedding to a prize-fghte1
caused her to go away also, then the
baby sisters feet began to trip faster
over the f1owery path that leads to de
! less hands ready to pull willing vic
! tim downward, few to lift upward
when she seeks to arise.
Mabel Bouton learned the truth OF
| this fact too late. The roses of life
withered quickly in her grasp, leav
; ing only thorns, that pierced cruelty
as she vainly frightened her hold to re
! tain their beauty and fragrance.
In proportion to her success was hel
downfall-its swiftness as great. How
keen was her realization of the awful
change in her world was manifested
when one day she tried to end it all by
suicide. Fate was not long in assist
ing her to win her desire. About two
years ago her health gave way. Con
sumption claimed her as a victim d
few days ago in Flower hospital
Mother-love remained faithful to the
I end with her, even though much OF
another kind that had seemed genuine
to her young eyes had failed.

VANDERslLTS STOP TRAINS.
A Limited Is Backed 25 Miles To
ObIige a Rich Woman.

Savannah, Ga, Feb. 1.-THE South
ern Railways limited train, from
New York TO St. Augustine. came in
more than an hour late. and thereby
hangs an interesting tale of the po-
tency Of a name.
The limited is scheduled to make
the run from Columbia to Savannah
is at Pineland, a country club 90
miles out of Savannah, which has been
established by a number of wealthy
northern men. Mr.. and Mrs. Cor
nelius Vanderbilt have been stopping
at the Pineland club for number of
days.
Mrs. Vanderbilt concluded that she
would run over to see her brother,
Richard T. Wilson, Jr., at May river
With her husband she went to the
station at Pineland to take the south
ern flyer. AS the limited express
came into view Mrs. Vanderbilt wav-
ed her parasol and Mr.. Vanderbilt
waved his hand. But the engine driv-
er of the flyer merely smiled out of
his cab window and the train went by
at the speed of something nearly ap-
preaching a mile a minute.
The next station was Hardeeville
% miles away. AS the engine driver
drew in sight of that station he saw
standing in the middle of the track
q fagmau franticaIly waving req
bunting. Bringing his train to stop
the engine driver was given impera-
tive orders to back his train to Pine,
land to take on the Vanderbilt party.
Reluctantly the engine driver obeyed
orders.
Trains anead of him were tied up
While this so miles was cut out of his
schedule.
The story is that Mrs Vanderbilt
demanded of her husband that the
train come back for her and that he
found the means of having her wishes
respected.
At Savannah Mrs. Vanderbilt had
expected that her brothers yacht
would meet her to transport her to
May river Instead there was wait
ing for her a 30-foOt naphtha launch.
Mrs. Vanderbilt concluded she would
not take the night air in so small and
open craft, with no shelter save the
canvas-covered cockpit She there
fore requested her physician, DR.
Brown, to see if he could not charter
a steamer to take them to the Wilson
place.
DR.. Brown made tour of the docks
in a cab and found the river freight
steamer Louise just in from Augusta
and discharging cotton and naval
stores. A dicker was quickly made
with the captain of the Louise, involv-
ing the immediate cessation of the
unloading process and getting under
way as soon as Mrs. Vanderbilt could
! come aboard
! An hour after reaching Savannah
! Mrs. Vanderbilt was on the way to
/ her brothers place on one of the
slowest and most oldfashioned river
steamers in this section of the coun-
| try-a steamer that will float ION the
sweat of an ice pitcher" and puff and
steam all day in the shade of a tree.

IN MITCHELL'S HONOR.
Great Meeting at Auditorium to Cheer
Mine Workers President.

Chicago. Feb. 17.-Six thousand peO-
pie crowded the Auditorium last night
at a demonstration of local labor
unions in honor Of John Mitchell, pres
ident OF the united mine workers. The
greatest enthusiasm was shown when
Mitchell appeared on the platform
and a speech later in the evening re-
ceived cheers. The presiding officer OF
the evening, James H. Payne, deliv-
cred a short address eulogizing the
work done by Mitchell and then intro
duced Henry D. Lloyd of Chicago, who
said in part:
There was a louder cry for federal
bayonets in Pennsylvania in 1902 than
in illinois in 1894, but the cry was not
answered. There was a soldier in the
white house, not a corporation lawyer
and the soldier knew Of what proper
uses soldiers are.
when Cleveland gave US military
usurDation and government by in
functions. Roosevelt has given US ar
bttration-the boldest, greatest act of
recent craftsmanship" After an ad-
dress by Clarence S. Darrow, Mitchell
spoke.
Mitchell declared that he did not
believe int the trade union as the ulti-
mate, or that its formation was the
final result to be obtained The work
ingmen Of the world are passing
through period of evolution. He did
not make war upon capital or de
nounce it He believed there was
never a time in the past, nor would
there be in the future. when the diff
ference between the Iaborer and cap
italist could not be settled if they
would but come together to tell the
truth to each other. He warned his
| hearers that no strike was ever won
by breaking laws.
