That many a secret has to keep;
Here where the noise of the world is

Leaves the mind and the heart at ease,
and the distant blue engulfs the peak
Of sea born sky-crowned Martinique.
Dream, dream on the blending stream
OF the sea and sky where the white
clouds gleam.
Wake, wake where the billows break
On shining sands their foaming flake;

Here where the tired worlds anguish

prince has achieved a good deal ef note,
not only as a clever soldier and most ef-

the leading experts in Germany Of mod

dramas dealing with ancient Greek
themes, and written by him in modern
Greek, have been most successfully pro-
duced on the stage at Athens. The prince

Baron Speck Won Sternburg. the Kais-
er's new representative at Washington,
bears a nobiIiary title which dates from
the time of the Seven Years War. The
founder OF his family was the commits
sary general of Frederick the Great. who
did not hesitate to ascribe his phenom-
email successes in the field during that
historic struggle as being due in a large
measure to the wonderfully clever way
in which COmmissaTy General Speck
provided for the sustenauce of his
troops.
At the close of the war Frederick
showed his recognition Of the commits
sary generals services by cOnferring
upon him the nobility with the title Of
baron and the additional name of won
Sternburg," present 7g him at the same
time with a large an Of money as a
reward for his integrity.
The newly created baron made such
good use of this money that at his
death he left very large fortune, as
well as the beautiful property and
chateau of Lutzschena, near Leipzig,
which is now the ancestral home of the
family Among the features Of the castle
is a large picture gallery with q mag

None But Democrats Now.


The Democrats Of the North Carolina
Legislature have broken their deadlock
and selected the Hon Lee S. Overman to
represent the Tar Heel State in the
United States Senate vice the Hon. Jeter
&c. Pritchard. When Senator Pritchard
goes out Of Office at the expiration of his
term on March 4. the Republican party
OF the Old North State will go with him
into involuntary retirement.
For the first time in nearly ten years
the Democrats Of the State will be in alb
soIute control. control which they have
gained largely by the elimination of col
orsd voters through constitutional
amendments disfranchising a large ma
iority OF them. When the Hon. Matt
Ransom went to Mexico as the first am
bassador from the United States to that
republic, and the Hon. Zeb Vance, after
many years of faithful service to his
State, died, North Carolina became in
oculated with the PopuIistic virus. The
effect was different from that produced
from the infection in the States Of the
West. for it operated against the Demo-
cratic party instead Of with it, as in Kan
sas, Nebraska, and elsewhere.

A ShoTt-Lived Success.

The Populist movement, led by ex-
Senator Marion Butler, co-Operated with
the Republicans under Senator Pritch-
ard, and the result was that both came
to the Senate, Prltchard winning the
short term and Butler, the man chiefly
responsible for the overthrow of the
Democracy, the IOLg term. When
Pritehard's term expired the combina-
tion Of Republicans and Populists In the
State was still in working order and con-
troll. and he was returned for six years
After one full term Butler retired
two years ago, the Democrats having
regained the Legislature, and he is now
fast becoming a plutocrat in New York
Senator Pritehard sought TO establish a

State and failed
The POpulists and Republicans who
formerly managed TO get to Congress
from North Carolina have, with Pritch-
ard and Butler. likewise been retired :;
Pritchard is the last of them. The Pops
disappeared two years ago. and the two
remaining Republicans. Blackburn and
Moody. went down to defeat last Novem-
Der, so that after the 4th of March
North Carolina will have solid Demo
