Tennyson and De We're were lifelong friends.
and in the Irish poets early diaries are many
references to the days when the young English
man rallied against the whole system OF So
ciety and said he miserable IL was
melancholy which mostly disappeared when ne

De We're says in one OF his newly printed ietters'

A friend of De We're quotes his "reminiscences
of the evenings when TennysOn read aloud 70
him the manuscript Of Tin MemOriam and

the lines, making the sound almost inaudioie'
his hearer read with him. looking over his shoul-

SO great was his emotion
Old Mrs. Coleridge and her daughter. Sara
were kind to the Irish youth. and there are
various records of conversations with them in
the diaries. Some OF the old lady's remnis-
cences were quaint-as when she mentioned
that De Quincy used to say to Coleridge. Il
should be so much obliged II you would speak
little more near the level OF my cOmprehen-
sion." and that she used TO ask her dreamy
lord. "Man. do you really understand yOurself?"
De We're describes poor Hartley COleridge as
wandering about the room. having, as 1t were,
no hold of the ground. and supporting himself
like a swimmer on extended arms. Every mo-
ment he laid his hand on his round gray head
"a strange. interesting. fOrlOrn being"
Mr.. Wnfrid Wards personal recOlectiOns Of
De We're and those offered by the poets niece,
Mrs Monsell. portray a most lovable charac-
ter. The unseIfshness. the tenderness and SYM
pathy revealed in the mans daily life were as
marked as his intellectual bent. Mr.. Ward says
that De We're and r. II. Hutton admired each
other intensely.
I recOllect two successive breakfasts: after the
first De We're had TO leave early. and Hutton said

man that is: what simplicity and purity of char

The diaries and letters used in the prepara-

tering the already well known portrait Of the
true man and spiritual minded poet who is its
subject Sara COleridge said of De We're
in his youth that more entire poet, one more
poet in his whole mind and temperament, she
had never known; and what he was then he
was throughout his long life. When Mr.. Ward
first knew him as man of threescOre years, he
had still. we are told. ''the simplicity. the un-
spOilt keenness OF enjoyment the buoyant hope
fulness, the trustfulness. the reverence for all
that great and good. which belong to a
youth as yet untouched by the world. whose
brightness is undimmed by the disappointments
and disillusions OF life" His imagination moved

Apropos Of Scott, Mr.. John Morley brings him
into an interesting paper on "Theophano," Mr.
Frederic HarrisOn's new historical romance,
which he has contributed TO the current number
OF THE Nineteenth Century" Admitting that
"the mixture OF history with romance. OF real
actors and known events with avowed fiction,
has not always been a successful experiment.,
he goes on TO speak OF the great romanccr IN
this wise: HNo novelist has ever had so much
of the genius OF history as Scott, and II
Il be unluckily true that Scott Is no longer
widely read, we may be quite sure that II Is so
much the worse for the common knowledge OF
history Apart from the stimulating contribu-
ton to historic knowledge In Tvanhoe,' 1t may
be suspected in the palace Of truth that a ma

There's the rub. II the modern writer Of his

New-York tribune., 1904-10-16

Mr. Andrew Lang is athirst for fOotnOtes IN
historical works of a serious character. He
has been buying a copy Of one Of the volumes
of 1.-The Cambridge Modern History" and he
arises in 'Longmans" TO complain that, while
il contains more than eight hundred pages, IL
scarcely exhibits a single foOtnOte, or refer
ence for a given fact 10 a given authority"
The Rev. Dr. Fairbairn, for example, states
that at some date prior TO 1890 certain Cath
Ollie patriots at Geneva were known as 'Eygue-
nots" "cOnfederates," "men who had bound
themselves by an OATH" and Mr. Lang would
like to know IL "EyguenOts" is the same word
as "HuguenOts," and to what language "Eygue-
nOts" may belong. "a note would tell us, but
there is no note" he plaintiyely remarks, and
with mild indignation asks, "FOr whom can
this book be lntendedY He can understand the
absence of notes IL "the reading public is the
audience that the makers OF '"The Cambridge
Modern History" have in mind "NOtes dis
tract the kittenlike attention of the public" he
observes pointing out that that public appears
TO regard history as plain tale written by the
author out OF his own head. 1t Is too bad We
sincerely hope that Mr.. Lang will find out all
lie wants to know about "Eyguenots" and the
language to which the word belongs. But we
cannot fOrbear reminding him that II the "kit-
tenlike public rather SHES at notes, it is for the
reason that many latter-day historians, espe-
caly members of the so-called scientific school,
have made a fetish OF the footnote and of

An Honest Statement Of Facts

The Chicago Tribune of recent
date has the following sensible
editorial. If all the republican pa
pers were as honest as the Tribune
there would soon be a better feel
ing between the sections. The
appearance of such an item in a
republican paper at this time
shows a boldness Of the publishers
that is rare indeed. The Tribune
says:-
There are some Northerners who
know more about Germany and
about Italy and about "the roman
tic aud picturesque Bal k a. D
peninsula" than they do about
Georgia and South Carolina and
Texas. Consequently they show
more sense when they are talking
about his majesty or about Turkish
oppression than they do when
they are talking about the right
Of the negro to vote.
It is SO easy to think that JUS
because you live in a country you
mnst understand it. The Southern.
er and the Northerner are fellow
citizens. They owe allegiance tc
the same flag. Therefore the
Northerner is perfectly compe
tent to tell the Southerner how te
|settle the negro question.

The negro question is greater

ca. And it is not only greater,

TO new ORLEANS
Frisco to Run over the N. &

TUPELO DIvERGING POINT

Three Miles of Track to be
Pnt in Here With Engine
House and Other Relay
Appliances,
1t is now definitely settled that
the Frisco Road will run into New
Orleans with both passenger and
freight trains over the Mobile and
Ohio and Northeastern roads. For
sometime there has been a rumor
that atrafflc arrangement has been
made between the roads which
would give the Frisco the desired
outlet to New Orleans. At one
time it was stated that the deal was
all off that the Frisco was behind
the building of the Mobile, jackson
q Kansas City and would use that
road south from New Albany, but
it seems that this was mistake
The work of putting in the nces-
ssry tracks here is now going on.
The officials of the Mobile and OHIO
and Frisco met here Friday for the
purpose of perfecting plans for the
work. The Frisco was represented
by G. R Gray General Manager,
S. I. Raine, Gen. Supt., I. A. Mid
dleton, Traffic Manager, "A. Hill
ton, Gen. Passenger Agent, Mr..
Hancock, Master Mechanic, Fl. II.
Brown, Supt j. A. Cornatzar,
Gen. Passenger Agent. The Mobile
& Ohio was represented by E. NJ
Moore, Supt. Cairo Division, Il. l.
Hungerford, Train Master, Mr.
Belue, road master. The confer
ence between these officials was
held here Friday and as result
work on the tracks has begun In
order to handle the extra business
that will accumulate here three
miles more of sidings will be re-
quired, an engine house will be
built and awe put in. The g, ound
necessary TOR the extra siding
has been secured from s. Topp
and D. w. Robins the purchase
having been already made. There
will be four passenger trains put
On the 18th of November. TIE SER,
vice will be for through business s
out of Kansas City, St Louis and
the west. There Will be- eigat
freights put on the 1st of December
which will also do through bust
ness.
The inauguration Of this service
by the Frisco will give to the
road the much sought after outlet
to the south. Heretofore this
business has been turned loose
at Memphis and the road did not
get what 1t felt it, was entitled
to, hence the track arrangement
with the two roads. The relay here
of the crews will bring a number of
new people to town The men will
find 1t necessary to move their fami-
lies here as this will be the priu-
cipal relay point for the crews In
order TO supply new crews mum
Der Of promotions will be made
and those in line are eagerly ex
pectant to know where they will
land. The addition of this extra
railroad business to the rapidly
growing trade of Tupelo is but one
Of the many additions that are being
made each year. The city is the
gamer with every new enterprise
and the establishment of this relay
here may mean the moving here of
others along the line of the two
raods later on.
