Are Earning Popularity.
Crown Prince Frederick William of
Germany and the Grand Duchess Ce-
ella of Mecklenburg- -Schwerin were
married last June, and an interesting
contrast is presented between their
wedding and the Roosevelt Longworth
nuptials. The German event had an
official character which was lacking in
the nuptials of Miss Roosevelt and Mr.
Longworth. The crown prince will in
the natural course Of events be the
ruler of Germany some day, and the
young woman he took as his bride will
in that case be queen. Mr.. Longworth
is a congressman, and there are $50

does, while the young woman he took
in marriage. though the daughter of

Crown Pence Frederick William and
the Grand Duchess Cecilia is said to
have cost the German people over
$1,000,000 On the marriage ceremony
alone which was celebrated in the pal

A Sheridan Retort.

Richard Brinsley Sheridan always
maintained that the Duke of yelling

his friend General Tarleton had the
opinion that he would fail. The mat
ter was one of constant dispute be-
tween the two.
Tarleton, who had been wrong, grew
obstinate. Consequently, when the
news of the retreat of the French at
Torres Vedas arrived in England Sherl-
dan, by way of taunt, said:
"Well, Tarleton, are you on your
high horse stillT
"Oh. higher than ever" was the reply.

Portsmouth and Newport News,

afforded to exhibit the mineral re-

arran eenents have been completed
and an elaborate and comprehensive
display of the minerals and ores VIII
be made. which viii invite the at
tenfion Of capital to the enormous
and undeyeloped deposits found
throughout sections Of the South.
At the present time there are
minerals mined IN this section on
a large scale. It Is also a fact that
certain minerals are found IN great
er quantities and mined more extern
siveIy IN. the southern states than IN
any other part of this country. For
instance North Carolina produces
nearly all Of The mica in the United
States, and with her sister state
South Carolina furnishes all OF the
monazite that is produced and the
latter is the only state that supplies
tin. Both of these states are pro-
ducing the finest grades Of koaln,
for which there IS demand beyond
the supply by the potteries. Vir-
GINA produces by far the largest
amount of manganese and pyr1te
that is found in the country, while
Georgia, Alabama and Arkansas
furnish all of the bauxite that is
used in the manufacture of metal.
aluminium and artificial corundum.
Virginia and Georgia also produce
the bulk of the asbestos, while Ten
nessee, South Carolina and Florida
practically supply all the phosphate
rock obtained IN this country
Possibly the two most promising
and profitable openings in connec-
ton with the development of the
mineral resources of the south are
those relating to building stone and
clay products. A large field is of
