Ibsen has just celebrated his seventy
fifth birthday-not publicly, however,

never. writes even the shortest letter.

Fat peopls and Precipitation.


Fat people are less able to resist the
attacks Of disease or the shock of in
juries and operations than the mod
erately thin. In ordinary everyday life
they are at a decided disadvantage.
Their respiratory muscles cannot so
easily act. Their heart is often handi'
capped by the deposit on it, and the
least exertion throws them into per-
spiration. This last fact is curiously.
misunderstood. 1t is almost universal

of the simultaneous fat and is consid-
cred to be natures method of getting
rid of the superfuity.
But this is not correct, for In spite Of
it's greasy appearance sweat only con-
tains a trace Of fatty matter, rarely
more than OF per cent, and this comes
Of course from the cells of the sudor-

Victor Hugo No Dramatfst.

Victor Hugo No Dramatfst.
\ The flashing brilliancy of Hugo's YER
sification blinded many spectators for
brief season and prevented most of
them from seeing what was made
plain at last by an analysis of the
plays in prose, Mary Tudor, for exam
pie. When no gorgeously embroidered
garment draped the meager skeleton, 1t
was not difficult to discover that Victor
Hugo was not great dramatic poet
"of the race and lineage of Shake
speare." A great poet he was beyond
all question, perhaps the greatest poet
of the century, but his gift was lyric
and not dramatic. He was a lyrist Of
Incompatible vigor, variety and sono-
rity, and as lyric he had often an al
most epic amplitude Of vision. As a
dramatist his outlook was narrow and
petty. He could not conceive boldly
lofty theme, treating It with the I'M
failing simplicity Of the masters. His
subjects were lacking in nobility, in
dignity, in stateliness. His plots We're
violent and extravagant, and his char
acters were as forced as his situations.
The poetry to be found in his plays Is
external rather than internal. 1t is al
most an afterthought. Under the Tyr
ical drapery which is so deceptive at
first there is no more than a melo-
drama.-Brander Matthews in Allan
tic

Don't BE Too Exact.

Don't be forever setting people right.
There is a household fiend with men,
ory for dates and details who can new
er sit still and hear papa say that he
went down town on Monday at with
out correcting the statement with the
remark that the hour was half past. If
mamma happens to allude to Cousin
Jenny's visit as having occurred last
Thursday, this wasplike fmpersonation
of accuracy interposes with the state
ment that 1t was Friday, not Thursday,
which brought Cousin Jane.
A dozen times day exasperating
frictions are caused by needless cor
rections of this sort, referring to mat
tiers where exactness is not really i'm
perative, the affairs in question being
unimportant and no violation Of truth
being for an instant intended.

THRONE LIGHTS.

The Prince and Princess Of Wales
are the possessors Of nineteen pianos,

Prince Ludwig Ferdinand Of Bava-

outlet for his energies.
The German empress has the most

They are valued at quarter of mill

AUtack on frestdent Believed to Be Bid for Democratic Nomination. From Washington to The New York Her aid.
 Senator Germans speech in Maryland lacked President Roosevelt on the negro question, is regarded by the leaders of both parties in Washington as pace- maker Tor the Democratic national cam President Roosevelt's closest personal and political friends regard it as the be- ginning Of the execution of a plan to make the race problem a great issue against the Republicans in the Presiden- tial election. Democrats. too, accept MT. Gorman's attack with no attempt to con- ceai their delight and all appear to wei come the issue.
 Incidentally the speech is regarded here as placing MT. German squarely in the race for the Democratic nomination and Didoing in the most prominent manner for South
 It develops today that 1t is A we'll deter mined plan on the part of National Dem- ocrats to force the race issue to the front, not alone in the South and the close States Of Maryland. Delaware. New Jer- sey and West Virginia. but also in the larger cities of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and Iowa. where they think it possible to stir up the foreign born voters on the negro question. They also argue that If there Is tO pc any uouDt ADOut hentuCky ana Missouri the race issue will make those States surely Democratic.
 It Is not the intention to bring the question prominently forward in the Democratic platform. but to hammer 1t home on every Democratic stump. Re- publicans here take the view, judging from the personalities in Senator Cor mans speech, that the Democrats intend to make this part of their campaign di- rectly personal to MT. Roosevelt himself, and wherever it is possible to emphasize the Booker Washington dinner incident and the Crum appointment, with "a white mans government for the white man. as a campaign cry.
 Senator German, as the leader of his party In Congress will lose no opportun- fty during the coming session to devel- op the issue, and campaign material is expected out of renewed discussion of the Crum case and the Indianola postofice.
 A rather humorous incident at the meeting which Senator German addressed yesterday shows the temper of Demo- cratic gatherings on this question. Im- mediately following the Senator's speech, in which he made prominent Booker T.. Washington as a guest at the White House. an entertainer appeared on the stage and sang T Got a White Man Working for Me" The song aroused not only great amusement. but enthusiasp as well, and brought forth cheers upon cheers.

 In adopting such a statute Alabama takes a long step forward in the path of social order and industrial progress. The boycott and other kindred expedients of intimidation have been defended by labor leaders and agitators as a legitimate means of warfare against capital. But the most intelligent labor leaders them selves realize that the boycott Is a crude and cowardly weapon, as dangerous to those who wield it as to those against whom 1t is drawn. In so far as 1t over rides by violence the right or the mol viduai to dispose of his own labor In his own way, the boycott subverts order and offends justice; and in so doing it weak ems the very foundations on which the demands of labor for greater recognition and compensation must always rest. No cause can prosper through brutality and intimidation and every appeal made to the vengeful spirit of the blacklist IS an invitation to violence and to crime. resort to the retaliatory methods now out lawed in Alabama should be everywhere discouraged. The example set at Mont gomery might be wisely and prohtaoly followed in every other State.
