Meanest Man He Knew.

1t was Joseph Folk. the young district attor-
ney Of st. Louis county. who brought the St
Louis bOodlers 10 Justice. Talking one day
about boOdling and the meanness OF il, Mr.
Folk said 10 q reporter:
There Is something small and little about
robbing taxpayers, robbing widows and orphans
and ali manner of poor folk. lie is a mean man
who commits this crime-as mean man as
one saw once Mississippi steamer.
And he was strangely mean. that chap. He
was travelling with his daughter, a little girl
Of five or six. lie was holding her over the
rail, SO that she could see a monster catfish,
when, somehow, he let go OF her, and she fell
into the deep stream with splash.
n deckhand was after her in an instant
Headforcmost he shot in. and she was back in
her fathers arms again before three minutes
had passed
The father was profoundly grateful to the
declhand. He pulled out dollar bill,
4" Got any change" he said.
"The man had none, so the father went bust
ling ncrvously here and there over the boat
waving his dollar bill and saving:

The announcement that the Car has
consented to act as sponsor to the little
boy to whom the pretty Crown Princess
of Roumania gave birth the other day.
and that he will go to Bucharest In
order to attend the ceremony of christ
ening. serves 10 call attention 10 the
fact that the infant Prince Nicholas of
Roumania like his two little sisters and
his ten-year- old brother. Charles, is
barred by the terms of the British con-
stitution from all rights to the English
throne.
In fact these four grandchildren
OF the late Queen Victoria and their
mother. the crown princess. are the only
ones of the numerous descendants of
the old Queen who are excluded from
the line OF succession to the English
crown This is due 10 the fact that the
Crown Princess Of Roumania. who, as
daughter of the sailor son of Queen Vic
toria, is a princess CT Great Britain and
Ireland. forfeited her rights of success

IN a stage career for child than for
young girl. The child actor regards
the life behind the scenes as common
place; II Is part Of business; romance
lies in doings which might seem com-
monplace to an ordinary child. The
child actor Is in the immense majority
of cases under the care OF parent or
guardian, aud shielded from any
hurtful influence, while there is more
education III certain lines of theatrical
work than in some of our public
schools The child of an actress must
either accompany the mother, and be
brought up in the profession OF that
mother, or be sent to boarding school.
Home. in the ordinary sense of the
word, is not for that child III any
event. Yet very faIr limitations of a
home can be evolved wherever the
family spirit exists.
1t IS not likely that the children of
average parents will leave their homes
and 30 on the stage; the children thus
employed are usually those without
kindred, or with parents in the the
atrical business. Their parts are not
as arduous as those of adult actors.
If they have dramatic talent, as they
must have to be on the stage ut all,
they are being trained for their fu-
ture business as they could not posi-
bly, be trained elsewhere. There Is no
more reason why a bright ten-year-
old should be prohibited from taking
child's part in an average play than
there IS for refusing to allow the lit
tie son of the corner grocer 10 wait on
customers, or the newsboy TO sell pa
pers. Those who are really anxious
to protect children's interests should
attend first to the waits crowded out
of the schools. who are being trained

Edwards Visit to Vienna.

With regard to King Edwards visit
this week to Vienna, it may be timely
to point out that it is the first occasion
in history of an English monarch So
tourning within the walls of the Aus
trian capital. OF course, King Edward
was several times in Vienna as Prince
of Wales, and is popular figure among
the Austrian aristocracy. But none OF
his predecessors on the throne mas
ever been welcomed in the Kaiserstadt
I may add that King Edward. while at
Marienbad. refrained from holding any
intercourse with the Duke of Orleans,
although the latter called upon him on
the morning after his arrival. The duke
was not received. had to content him
self with inscribing his name in the
visitors book. and did not have his call
acknowledged before his departure, a

Illiterate Peril.

In 1900 the school census OF Mississippi
showed a quarter of the whole popuia
tion to be illiterates. Over half of the
children of school age are colored. This
enormous number of children, the next
Democratic governor Of Mississippi de-
clares, should have no means OF educa-
tion. He would give the blacks no more
education than they are willing to pay
for
The danger OF having the children Of
the blacks grow up in illiterscy does
not seem to appeal 10 the governor at
all. He thinks that illiteracy. which is
the worst thing for the whites. the
proper caper for the blacks. The ne-
groes of Mississippi are now in a state
of panic, and fear that the next Demo
cratic governor will re-enslave them. II
is said that there will be a large exodus
of the colored population from the state.

elsewhere in this country, the future
King and Queen of a European power
members of the most ancient and illus

have Travelled across the United States
in a leisurely fashion without attract
ing any notice whatsoever. More than
this, the royal lady was detained for
some time in New York by a severe ILL
ness. which brought her to the very verge
OF the grave, and as soon as she was
sufficiently recovered TO travel she sailed
with her husband for Europe. under the
care of a New York physician, DR.. Kill
iany and of two New York trained
nurses. On reaching Possenhofen. in Ba-
varia. the princess underwent an opera
tion for appendicitis, performed by the
New York doctor, with the assistance OF
the Munich court surgeons, and is now
slowly recovering.
The royal couple in question were
Prince and Princess Rupert, of Bavaria,
the prince being the eldest son of that
Prince Louise who is himself the heir
of the octogenarian regent of the king
dom. and were it not for that clause OF
the British constitution, known as the
act of settlement, by means Of which
parliament vested the crown of Great
Britain in the protestant Hanoverian
branch of the descendants of King James
of England. Rupert of Bavaria and his
consort would, as the descendant or
King Charles I of England-that is to
say, less remotely connected with the
old Stuart dynasty than King Edward
be entitled TO the dignity of Prince
and Princess of Wales while Rupert's
mother would be queen regnant OF Eng
land

Johnson a Socialist.

Tom Johnson says he is not after
office, but il is known that he wants TO
control the Democratic national conyen-
tion so as. II not 10 be its nominee, at
least TO shape its platform in harmony
with the socialistic bias OF Organism
He does not believe it is possible that
such a man as German or Olney can bs
nominated. but he is certain that the old
leaders must be set aside.
Johnson's platform is far more radical
that that of Kansas City. He is an out
and-out Socialist and he wishes 10 cap
ture the Democratic party. He is not 50
much concerned about the currency ques-
tion or finance as about enecting a
revolutionary economic system. Just
what this is is shown by his past politi-
cal course. he knows that Bryan is
ready 10 move forward into a more radi-
cal view and he expects the Democratic
party will turn Jacobin. He does not
expect that he Will win out in Ohio.
but he does expect TO control the Ohio
delegation Of the next Democratic con-
vention.

Delaware's Contest.

The ofhceholders Of Delaware. who
constitute the regular" Republicans,
have been thrown into a blue funk by
the removal from Office of Huldah B.
Todd. the postmistress at Greenwood,
Sussex county. because she has made
herself obnoxious TO Senator Alice and
the other leaders of the Union Repub-
Iican party
The postmistress has been more or
less the mouthpiece of some OF the Bit
terest OF the oficeholders in denounc-
ing Senator Alice and his associates.
The oficeholders are in the funk be-
cause the leaders have announced that
each and every oficeholder who has
been opposing the leaders of the party
in the State is TO be removed from Of
fee. Naturally the regulars" are
going to try and prevent this. and they
are sending out the usual attacks on
Addicks. announcing that the campaign
of 1904 has already begun.
