bouncing her intention OF going with her
husband TO Siberia and living there quietly,
working for a living until they can make
enough 10 return and pay their debts. The
princess enjoys a high standing at the
Russian court
Mrs. Bradley Martin has offended good
Sorm on the other side by wearing too many
jewels. At her place in the highlands OF
Scotland she gave a ball recently, and
society people of the neighborhood were
abundantly in attendance. II is the almost
invariable custom to dress plainly at coun-
try places of that sort, so most OF the wom-
en- wore simple muslins. but the hostess re-
ceived In a blaze OF brilliants. Criticism
or the Aemrican hostess has been general.
A few years ago, when Car Alexander
III was alive and his family included three
sons, II almost seemed beyond a doubt that
the succession TO the throne was secured
to his descendants and that IT could hard
ly pass to his brother or nephew. However.
the eldest son. now reigning as Nicholas
III, though married, is the father OF daugh-
tiers only; the second son Is dead, and the
third son, now twenty-five years OF age. Is
unmarried and apparently content 70 re-

La France Mflitaire, the Official Gazette
OF the French army, gives high praise to a
new kind OF bread with which experiments
are now being made, and which will be not
only OF great advantage during campaigns.
but may also replace the present bread
used in barracks for the troops in time OF
peace. The new loaf contains IS per cent.
OF barley meal to IS OF rice flour. The COM
bination IS said TO be most nutritive and
pleasant to the taste, and has the valuable
property OF retaining its softness and fresh
ness longer than any other -four now In use.

GENTLY loving TO suit his yearning young
heart. and lacks 1.-The traits that go to
make a lady"
Blu while the right girl is certainly to
be discovered in Indiana, the Journal does
not think it well to comply with its cor
respondents request to publish his name
and address. Chicago, as well as Indiana,
women would discover him thereby and he
would be exposed to unnecessary risk.
Besides, Indiana girls of the refined and
loving sort are not partial to long-dis-
lance courtship. and as the Indiana woods
are full Of nice men. the charms of one
unseen Chicagoan would appear less bril-
liant than to maids less f~avorably situated.
1t is true that the nice men at home are
not all good looking, but what is mere
beauty compared to niceness? A glance at
any group of married men proves that
comeliness is not a requisite In woman's
choice of a husband. The converse of this
proposition is also true-but that is an
other story.
The young New Yorker stranded in Chi
cago should by all means come down here
and enter the field in person. He has one
advantage over the resident nice men, in
that he is ready to guarantee happiness to
the girl of his choice. Some may take it
that this is equivalent to promising a big
income. but sure happiness on any basis
is something worth considering, and will.
no doubt, prove a great card in the young
matrimonial candidates campaign. The
best the Journal can do for the youth who
so confidently commits his fortunes to its
hands is to advise him to come and let
the Indiana girls see him. They will size
him up without delay and act accordingly.

With no disposition to question the mo-
lives or the methods of t< band Of some
what acrobatic e~vangeIists now holding
continuous services on downtown streets, it
must nevertheless be said that the presence
kf the baby of the party at all hours and in
avery sort of weather interferes with any
devotional feeling that a good many OBJ
fervers might otherwise have. 1t surely
Sarnot be well with the child to be
idragged about In that way.

Dispatches regarding the alleged military
measures of Colombia to recapture lamar
are not entitled to much credence. They
come from doubtful sources through sus-
picious channels, and may be manufactured
for a purpose. The Washington authori-
ties attach very little Importance to them.
and do not believe Colombia will take any
practical steps toward regaining control OF
Panama If she should attempt to do SO
by sending an invading force to the 18TH
mus. the United States would probably
intervene to protect Colon n Panama,
the termini Of the railroad, and to keep the
transit across the isthmus free from inter-
ruption. II necessary to do this the United
States might decide that under the treaty
she had a right to establish and maintain
a peace belt many miles in width on both
sides OF the railroad line. or even through
out the who Of Panama. It Is not likely
there will be any collision.

SECRET OF poETRY,s POWER.

IN a current magazine article Mr.. Bliss
Carman complains that there was probably
never a time when poetry was held in less
esteem thar at present. Perhaps If Mr..
Carman had the privilege OF examining the
clippings laid carefully away in the pocket
books of travelling men and other hard
headed business men, and those placed
among the leaves of the prayerbook
or Bible Of so-called commonplace
where none may disturb, he might have
reason to change his mind. The verses he
would find there would not all be poetry
according TO his standard, probably. Some
of them Would be hating in rhyme and OF
uncertain meter; others would be rhymed
brand, and there would be bits Of mere
doggerel among them; but in all Of them
would be expressed a genuine human SEN
timent, something hat appealed to the
emotions n touched the deeper expert
ences Of the reader who had found them
in his newspaper. They might be genuine
poetry. too, in form as well as In thought.
The man who never heard that a taste for
Browning is q measure Of culture, who.
perhaps, never heard Of Browning. may be
found eherishing one Of that poets lyrics
that he has accidentally found somewhere
The Years at the SPRING" perhaps; or,
"All Service Ranks the Same with God"
or, There's q Woman Like a Dewdrop."
Tennyson and Longfellow. Whittier and
Lowell are likely, too, to be represented,
along with writer's whose names the world
does not know. The clippings were made
not because the one who fancied the lines
thought of them as poetry, but because
they spoke a thought that meant some
thing to him outside Of the daily routine-a
youthful aspiration recalled, 1t may be; a
reminder of his mothers gentle teachings.
q love song recalling a sweet memory, a
lament for a baby dead, a hopeful rhyme
uplifting to better life-something that ap-
pealed to the man under the surface, the
mar that not all his friends know. Even
If none of the printed fragments are poetry
In Mr.. Carman's sense, they have per-
formed the Office of poetry in this instance
and go to show that the souls OF men are
not so dull to the higher influences as the
makers Of volumes of correct verse are
disposed to believe. II these writers will
instill life and emotion into their work, II
they will give their verbally perfect songs
the one touch they lack. namely, the force
and passion Of truth, they will not have to
complain that they are not read. It is the
soul of poetry. not It's form. that gives 1t
power.

Readers of the Journal may remember
that a Presbyterian preacher Of Whining
ton, Del, Elwood, by name. was accused Of
having melted the horrible lynching which
occurred in that city last summer. On the
Sunday night preceding the lynching Mr..
Elwood preached a sermon from the text
"shall the Murderer Be Lynchedf" in which
he said:
And, honorable Judges, II you DO not hear
and heed these appeals. and that prisoner
should be taken out and lynched, then let
me say to you, with q full realization Of the
said to King David Of Old after his soldiers
had killed Uriah, Thou art the man." so I
would say to you the responsibility for

dition,. and that is this: II this trial shall
be delayed until September and then.
technicality of the law or any undue influ-
ence upon either judges or jury, he be not
given capital punishment, then the citizens
of the State should arise In their might and
execute the criminal and thus uphold the
majesty Of the law.
There was a good deal more Of the same
sort and it was emphasized by the display
from the pulpit of caves spattered with
the blood Of the negro's victim. The lynch
ing occurred on the second day after the
delivery of the sermon and now Mr.. Elwood
is to be put on trial by the presbytery Of
the county for his utterances. The preach
er's conduct did not violate any statute,
but 1t was an indecent exhibition Of per-
sonal vindictiveness and a plain violation Of
the spirit of the Christian religion. II was
an extreme instance Of the kind Of sensa-
tional preaching which some ministers
adopt to draw crowds and create talk,
though for the credit Of the profession II
must be said few have gone as far as this
Wilmington preacher did. No punishment
this offender.
