OF Don Qulxote" 1t may be said
saving only the Bible. 1t has been trans
lated oftener and into more languages
than any other book. A Spanish edi-
tor has enumerated $50 editions Of the
Spanish masterpiece ia foreign Ian
Guages. That compute ton is certainly
short Of the truth.
Not only are there more TRANSACTIONS
In English OF "Don Qulxote" than any
other language, but II is England which
from the first has done more honor to
the authors work than any other coun-
try. The first critical edition Of Don
Quixote" in Spanish, with the first life
Of Cervantes, by Mayans y Siscar, was
published in London I'm 1913, more than
forty years before the Spaniards had
aroused themselves to do honor to their
greatest writer.
This edition, In four handsome vol
umes, was printed sumptuously In all
the glory Of the Tonson press under
the auspices Of Lord Carteret at an age
when Don Quixote" was still appear

In the early sixties OF the last cen
fury flourlshed in Paris a writer who
used his talent as q professional llbeler.
His real name was Jacquot, his nom
de guerre Eugene de Mirecourt. One
day there appeared a violent onslaught
on Alexandra Dumas pere. The arti-
Gle openly taxed the great novelist with
living on the brains OF his collabora-
tors. The father happened to be away
from Paris. The son sent his seconds
TO Mirecourt.
"You say. gentlemen" said the biog-
rapher, that you are acting in behalf
OF NJ. Dumas fils?'
The two gentlemen bowed assent.
Thereupon Mirecourt rings for his serv-
ant. "Tell my son to come to me-" he
orders.
And, to his visitors great surprise,
there appears a little urchin, his face
besmeared with Jam. Mirecourt, though,
remains perfectly serious. Gentle
men," he remarks at last, 81 feel con-
WINGED that my son Is as ticklish about
his fathers honor as the son Of NJ. AL
exandre Dumas is abo6t his fathers.
As II is absolutely necessary that the
roles should be equal, you had better
arrange matters with him." With
which he leaves the two friends of the
future eminent dramatlst.

FRIDAY. OCTOBER p, 1905
STAND BY sPARKMAN.

Democrat, and adds the following
comment:
ITO all IF which we say, Amen !
Mr.. Phillips deserves the conf
dence of tho people, who, if we
are not very much mistaken, will
invite him to scat in congress
from this district, at the next cleo
ton"
For the grace and support Of the
Democratic party and the benefit
of the people of the First Congress
sional District, as we'll as Of the
entire State, we trust that the pre-
diction of our esteemed contempt
rarv will fail of fulfllment, pro-
vided Hon. Stephen NJ. Sparkman
is a candidate for reelection.
BY thi, declaration we have no
thought of reflection upon the char
acter or the ambition of Mr.. Phil
lips.
1t is the privilege Of every citi-
zen to become candidate for Office.
Public office is gift of the peo-
pie, and no man who is chosen for
public service should believe that
he be allowed to hold such a posi-
tion indefinitely.
Yet, in consideration of such a
matter, as is now forced upon the
people of this district, do not the
factors of common benefit and po-
litical justice urge that Mr.. Spark
man be retained in the office he has
so dignifed and in which he has dis
played so high a degree of watchful-
ness for the needs of his constitu-
entsi
We think the matter should be
looked upon from that view.
Leaving aside all other points of
scussion-indeed there should be
no other, as the character and con-
duct of Mr.. Sparkman is beyond
reproach-the question of his use
fitness, both to his constituents and
to the party of which he is SO strong
a pillar, form the basis of the argu-
ment for his retention.
The position Mr.. Sparkman oc-
cupies in Congress is one attained
by faithful and diligent work
through the several terms that he
has served.
No man, no matter how brilliant,
or forcible, can gain success in
Congress, except by following that
same road which in every case re-
quires years of travel.
Flsmboyant speeches on the floor
of the House and press dispatches
Of members doings are not indi-
cations of ability nor marks of value
to a constituency.
Here, as elsewhere, it is the
deeds, not the words, that brings
the total Of actual worth.
In this respect Mr.. Sparkman
has proved his strength. Through
his efforts goodly appropriations
have been made for improvement
of Florida waters, and the work
thus started will be continued if he
is permitted to retain his seat.
The Rivers and Harbors Com
mittee is the most important to
Florida of all the Congressional
committees, and in Mr., Sparkman's
membership thereof the State pos
sesses distinct advantage.

 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS, England, March 23.-At the launching of the Japanese warship Kashima here Mime. Arakawa, wife of the Japanese consul general at London. touched the button which released the ship from the stocks.
 At the luncheon after the launching Sir Andrew Noble proposed the toast ''The Japanese Empire" He said all the European nations. including Great Britain. might learn a lesson from Ja- pan. Their course prior to the out break of the war and their splendid strategy and bravery when compelled to strike. together with the consistent ly dignified attitude of the government, made them an example for all nations.
 Minister Hayashi, who responded said the Japanese successes on the sea were largely due to the fact that more than dozen of their great warships were built in England. He was sorry the Kashima could not participate in the war, but the war must end some time. and thereafter the powerful yes sel would be used to maintain peace in the far east

Benjamin r. Seaman, manager for the Danbury Hat Co on Center street, must continue paying his wife $5 u week alimOny tor yesterday in the su- periOr court Judge Case denied his petition for divorce. Seaman alleged intolerable cruelty and testified that his wife threatened to shoot him on two or three occasions, ill which statement he was supported by Mrs Nellie Blackmar, Mrs Annie Myers and Mrs Bessie Stone. Also that she attacked him with her slipper one aJ!I apRu sip.M sIaA!p III pug SuluIou miserable for him. For instance, her favorite weapon of attack was butchers knife. A long time, he said, he was compelled to take his meals out because his wife would not cook for him. Mrs Seaman, whose counsel was Attorney Bronson, testified that until three years ago life with her husband was smooth and pleasant, but at that time he began to take up With othe" women.

She never threat ened her husband either with q knife or slipper or revolver. She did find revolver near her husbands pillow and she removed it to q place of safe ty, considering it rather imprudent to leave it near him. There was never any actual violence between her and her husband. They never struck each other, though occasionally there were stormy scenes, all on account Of the other women, particularly Mrs Full ton. T se 'y
 Judge Case said the circumstances of the matter did not constitute in. tolerable cruelty as the law recop- nized it. There was high incompati.. bll1ty. however. but the law does not consider that cause for divorce and that was we'll, for there are abuses enough in the divorce laws now with. out inviting any more.
