Perish the thought that the novelist
or playwright should be tied down to
historical accuracy! Lady Dorothy
Neville quotes an amusing correspond
ence between Bulwer Lytton and her
brother:
My Dear Walpole-Here l am at Bath
bored to death. / am thinking of writ
ing play about your great ancestor. Sir
Robert. Had he not a sister Lucy. and
did she not marry a Jacobite?
My brother promptly replied:
Ny Dear Lytton-I care little for my
family and still less for Sir Robert, but
| know that he never had a sister Lucy.
so she could not have married Jacobite.
However, this mattered little to Lord
Lytton, for his answer ran:
My Dear Walpole-You are too latel Sir
Robert had sister Lucy. and she did
marry Jacobite.
So, in defiance of history, the play
''Walpole" came to be written.

IBsEN's PARADOX.
And the Intimate Relation of Science
20 Society.

10 society.
Ibsen. my great compatriot, has in
one of his works formulated the para
doX that the man is strongest who
stands most alone. There is certainly
some truth in this-nay, there is much
truth in it so far as science is con-
cerned. The man who in the search
for truth goes his way independently
of other men and of other considera-
tions is certainly the man who is apt
to find the greatest and most valuable
truth. On the other hand it Is also
true that science more than most other
things In life depends on cooperation,
on the help of ones fellow beings, and
this becomes more and more true every
day. Many people are apt to forget
what science actually is and what they
owe to science, for it is through sci
ence that modern society actually ex-
lists, and the development Of society as
1t is today would be impossible If sci
ence were eliminated Humanity is
growing; but, if science and the means
created by science are not growing, hui
lnanity will have to look forward to a
very miserable future. Therefore the
nation that wishes to be cared for
must support science and those who
carry on scientific work. Science will
live her own life and has done so ever
since the days when Prometheus made
his fatal expedition to the gods and
stole the fire which is more or less
burning in every one of us and cannot
be extinguished There is something
sublime in this everlasting fire of sci
ence. Generation after generation dis
appears. The individual is nothing, but
elways "watchful in the tower man
shall remain in Sleepless contempla-
ton. DIR. Nansen.

Parrot pie is one of the delicacies
over which visitors to Australia rave.
AS the fruit season opens the parrots
and parrakeets come by thousands, like
locusts, and, settling on the trees, feed
upon the fruit until nothing but the
stones is left behind. They are shot
while gorging themselves. The flesh,
though very dark, is said to be deli
cious in flavor and almost to taste Of
the cherries, peaches and plums on
which the birds have fed. They are
said to be more succulent than pigeons
and altogether superior to the palate.

Atlanta. Ga, Oct, 13.-A special to The Constitution from Jackson. Miss, says:
 Brigadier General George M. Helm. commanding the End Brigade, Missis- sippi Division. of the United Confed- crate Veterans, wealthy planter and lifelong Democrat, has written an open letter in which he strongly ad- vocates the election of President Roosevelt for a third term.
 General Helm urges that party lines be dropped in order that the business interests of the South may be bene- fited by the retention of Mir Roosevelt in office, the chief reason. he says, be- ing the construction of the deep water way channel from the Lakes to the Gulf.
 General Helm makes a dramatic ap- neal to the voters of the South to send this message to the voters of the North:
 we assure you from the bottom of our hearts of our great confidence in the ability honesty and integrity of Theodore Roosevelt, and will help you elect him in Iq0S.'
 He declares that the achievements of Roosevelt have made Democratic success impossible and that as an ex- pedient, the Democratic party should unite in electinG him President

TO GO INTO COURTS
MIR. FISH WILL APPLY FoRAAN IN-
 JUNCTION.
Tho Struggle for the Control of the Illinois Central Railroad is on in Earnest--Consultati0n
 are Held.

Chicago, Oct. 13.-It is possible that the struggle for the control of the H. linois Central Railroad between Steuyvesant Fish and E. Fl. Hartman may be taken into the courts. Today the attorneys of Mir. Fish were en- gagged in the preparation of petition asking the courts to enjoin any per- son or corporation from voting any stock in the annual meeting to be held Wednesday next, which may be shown to be owned or controlled by the Union Pacific Railroad.
 The action, 1t is said, will be brought under an Illinois statute. which pro- hibits one corporation from owning stock in another. The attorneys for MT. Hartman have already declated in view of possible proceedings along this line, that the Illinois Central, by reason of its special charter. would pc exempt from the operation of DIS law even if 1t were not fact that corporations are, by implication, ex- empt from it's operation.
 If ia understood that 1t is the tnten- tfon of MT. Fish to obtain a temporary injunction by which the annual meet ing will be delayed until the court can mass upon the important question in- yolved in the present dispute.
 William Nelson Cromwell. formerly of the Panama Canal Commission is said to be due in Chicago some time to- morrow in order to take charge of the Hartman interests. if a legal battle should be precipitated
 MT. Fish was closeted today for sev- eraI hours with his attorneys. but would neither affirm nor deny the re- port that he was about 70 insusate nroceedings to restrain the Illinois rantraI stockholders from holding their annual meeting.

 The Emperor repeatedly asked to be taken Into the open air, saying that he had been used to it the whole of his life and that otherwise he could not recover quickly. Owing to his condition, however the physicians re- fused the request. According to the doctors, the danger is from old age.
