Not the Honorable.

Said a well-lnformed lawyer:
 T notice that Joseph Devlin, member of parliament, who Is meeting with cor dial reception in Birmingham, is fre- quently styled the Hon. Persons who bestow this overworked prefix probably think that because members of congress are sometimes addressed as the honor able 1t should be applied to members of parliament. Mir. Devlin must smile when he hears himself called after the Ameri- can fashion. In Great Britain the prefix honorable has a definite meaning; in this country 1t has not. In Edwards kingdom the prefix is applied to the younger children of earls, viscounts and barons, the Honorable Mr. Smith, the Honorable Miss Brown, and so on. It Is never ap- piled to members of parliament as such. The commoners, great and small, are called simply MT unless they happen to be members of the privy council, when the prefix right honorable is applied. be the member a commoner or a lord. Our American use of the prefix honor able always struck me as undemocratic and ridiculous, and l am glad to see that 1t Is being dropped"

erence to theS offices. and no recruits are desired beyond the number of them.
 But the Lily White movement has suffered a setback, and no oficeholders dare appear in its conferences and con vention. It is under an administra- tion cloud. It is suffering from a black eye, and it's power over the coming delegation to the national convention will be slight indeed. The referees are doing business at the old stand, and they will be apt to name one delega- tion, and the Black anu Fans another, and possibly the Wellman skeleton will get ready to name a third delegation, and the three delegations, none of them representing anything substantial, will fight Kilkenny fashion at St. Louis or Chicago or wherever else the general convention of the party meets.

Washinqton's Winning Way.

The usually fair and just Charleston News and Courier says:
 "There Is no denying" says the Macon Telegraph, that Booker Washington has very largely developed the faculty of the negro well known among southern peo- pie, of being able to pull a white man 5 leg" The description is not elegant but 1t is exact. No other beggar who has gone among the northern millionaires has sue- ceeded so well in this interesting, and sometimes profitable, occupation as the greatest man of his race in the world.
 The Mobile Register meets a similar attack with this reply: "The Register calls attention to the annual publica- tions of Tuskegee, which give account of the course in life of every graduate of Tuskegee and show that with but few exceptions tne Tuskegee graduates are good, industrious and useful men, and credit to Tuskegee and their race; in a word, that they really work "a statement that Is substantiated by other evidence than that afforded by the school"
 Booker Washington should go straight on regardless of the alleged wits of the Macon Telegraph, and gather in two millions as an endow- ment fund, or more if he can get It. the more the better. An institution that Is filling the state with better farmers and better workers of all other sorts, cannot have too large an en- dowment. Neither the Macon Tele- graph nor the Charleston News and Courier need be considered in this con. nection. Tuskegee is largely an Ala. bama affair, and neither of the two papers will be asked, let us hope, to chip in. Booker T. Washington is un derstood and appreciated in Alabama even if he be misunderstood and de preciated in Macon and Charleston

LANDLORD cLEvELANp.

From Harper's Weekly.
 Ex-Presdent Cleveland, who Is living at Princeton, owns house in the neighbor- hood which he leases to university pro lessor, a friend of his, for very moderate rental. The spring rains have been un- usually heavy of late, and the professor s cellar is frequently inundated, greatly to his annoyance. Having found, upon inves- tigation that defect in the construction of the wall was responsible for the trou- ble, he called upon his eminent landlord to register a protest.
 "Mr. Cleveland, he complained my cellar is full of water
 Well" rejoined the ex-President, what do you expect for the rent you pay-cham- pagne?'

MIR. MoReAN's FAILURE.

From the New York World.
 ''These are our failures" drawled Beau Brummel, languidly indicating the crum- pied ties his valet was removing This" MT. Morgan might say to his shipping trust. lis my failure" But 1t Is doubtful if he could rival the Brummel philosophy. For the failure is gigantic one-not check, as in the Northern Securities de- cree, but a checkmate.
 It was the mastery of the sea at which Morgan aimed. What he has achieved Is shown elsewhere in the World today. The common stock of his company sells at Il In the street Its German competi- tors are more prosperous by far than when 1t was formed. It's chief British rival, with unexampled aid from the government, is preparing to surpass the world in two new fast ships. Worst of all, possibly, from the lSnstr:aker's 8 viewpoint, the $275O0,OOO of promoters paper profits--a sum at which the finan- cial world stood aghast-are worth in the market only about $3OOO,OOo. most ot which Is "undigested" and indigestible.
 Commander J. D. J. Kelley, in his friendly article in the Century on the shipping trust, gives the cost of building new efficient steamers not tramps)' in the United States at from $7O to $110 per ton for freighters and from s110 to $200 per ton for fast craft" For shipping built in Great Britain for even cheaper rates, most of 1t in freighters and very little of it new, the trust has paid or tried to pay s155 per ton. What it has actually paid at current market rates of It's securities Is $67 per ton, or $7460O, ,00O in all This Is the Wall street estimate of the present value of MT. Morgan's ambitious attempt to rule the seas.

TO oIRDLE GLOBE IN 40 SECONDS.
It Is Hoped to Do This on July 4, When
 the Pacific Cable Opens.

Montclair, N. J., May 3.-E, c. Bradley, second vice president of the Postal Tele- graph company. who Is & resident of this place. says that on July 1, in connection with the opening of the new cable to the insular possessions of the United States, an effort, which now gives promise of suc- cess, will be made to circle the globe in forty seconds. The message will be sent from the main office of the Postal in New York city, and 1t Is hoped will be received on the opposite side of the room within forty seconds after the operator sends on the other.
 This feat will immediately follow the exchange of messages between President Roosevelt and Governor Taft at Manila. The message will probably travel over only two lines. These will be the land and ocean wires of the Postal and the Commercial Cable company, which may be considered one and those of the East ern Telegraph company
 The message will go from New York to the Pacific coast by the land lines of the Postal, and thence to Manila by the Com mercial Cable lines. At Manila it will be taken up by the Eastern and hurried on to London, where It will be again turn ed into the lines of the Commercial Cable for transmission under the Atlantic. To make the time calculated on there will have to be instant communication be- tween the various relays, but most of this has been worked out already and the rest will be cared for long before the date for the trial.

Dillingham; in theatrical undertakings recalls a pre- diction MT. Mansfield made concerning him about eight years ago. The occasion was luncheon In the actors private car at Chicago, given to a number of writers about the stage.
 "Gentlemen," he said to the group. when presenting MT Dillingham;, then Of his entourage, "I want you to know him. He is the politest man in the business, and before he is through he will be at the head of 1t. As you know, there is no day without its lying about me. But you will find I am not a false prophet as to Dil- lingham. Why, he has performed the hitherto impossible feat of managing me-

Stories of Bishop Williams.

Stories of Bishop Williams of Con- necticut, the senior prelate of the Episco- pal church, continue to crop out" re- marked a layman.
 "One just told relates to his first ser mon in the parish to which he was called just after he was ordained. He was rather nervous when he began to preach, but as he progressed he noticed an old man in the front pew who seemed in- tensely interested in the sermon. When ever the preacher made a point the old gentleman nodded vigorously in approval This was very encouraging to the not over-conhdent parson, and after the serv- ices he inquired who the man was. The old man in the front pewT queried a ves- tryman oh, he Is one of the harmless inmates of the insane asylum around the corner
