FAMOUS SCHOLARS.
Men That Might Have Been Called
Human Encyclopedias.


Human Encyclopedias.
1t has been said of Macaulay that
not only did he retain in his pro
digious memory all that he had
ever learned, but that he had learn
cd all manner of things no other
scholar would have retained. Aside
from his astonishingly comprehen-
sive grasp of many branches of hu-
man knowledge, he was specially
proud of the fact that he knew
whole libraries by heart. 1t was his
boast that in the event of whole
. sale destruction of certain classics
he would be able to supply the def
cheney out of his memory. 1t was
claimed among other things that he
could recite paradise Lost" with
out moments pause for refreshing
his recollection and that to reel off
all the plays of Shakespeare was
only child's play to him.
Another English scholar of as
tonishing erudition was Lyulph
Stanley, of whom Lowell said, "He
knows three times us many facts as
any man whatever had any bust
ness to know"
Stanley is said to have had only
one rival, Palgrave, the compiler of
"rhe Golden Treasury" "Its an
even chance which will return
alive" was said when Stanley and
Palgrave went on trip together
When they did come back, it is re-
lated, Palgrave was pale, emaciated,
silent. But Stanley seemed unmoY-
ed and more all knowing than ever.
Another human encyclopedia was
Buckle, author of "The History of
Civilization" One night, it is said.
he was laying down the law on sun
dry topics With pomposity that
caused the table to quake. At last
he put forth some statement about
the burning of a witch, setting the
date about century out of the way,
Stanley, who was present, had borne
some preceding inaccuracies very

some plan looking to a non-par-
tisan judiciary system, therefore,
BE 1t Resolved, That a com
mittee, consisting of j. Hop
Woods, Samuel j. Walker and
Andrew Price, be and they are
hereby authorized and empower
ed to confer with a like commit
tee of the Republican party, and,
if fpossible, to agree upon some
fair and just plan to the end, and,
for the purpose heretofore recited.
Resolved, further, That said
committee be authorized to carry
on and conclude such negotia-
tions by which the judges of our
court of appeals will be entirely
divorced from nominating con-
ventions and free from all politi-
cal influence, and, if possible, to
formulate and conclude plan by
which said judges may be selected
by the State Bar Association of
the state.
A resolution endorsing the ac-
tion of the Democratic members
of the Legislature in regard to
the action taken on legislation
was adopted as follows:
Resolved, That the thanks of
this committee, representing the
Democratic party of the state,
and they are hereby rendered to
the Democratic members of the
legislature for their faithful ad:
vocacy of such legislation as has
been in the interest of the whole
people of this state; and we speci-
ally felicitate them for their ac-
ton at the recent special session,
in which they declined to par
ticipate in, or be party to, the
scheme proposed for the settle
ment of the so called Virginia
debt.
And we especially commend
the action of the Honorable John
j. Cornwell for his courageous
act in declining to serve upon a
secret commission, which could
have for Its creation, no purpose
other than to adroitly commit
the party in this state, under the
seductive guise of a non-partisan
commission, to the payment of
an unconsciousable claim.
After being introduced by Mr.
McGraw, later withdrawn, and
then reintroduced, n resolution
calling for partisan judi
ciary was adopted, but not until
several spirited speeches had been
made in its behalf and against it
and several hot retorts had been
been exchanged by the debaters.
FINAL MEETING.
The final meeting of the COM
mittee was held late in the even
ing, when all the details were
completed.
The committee selected w. E.
Chiffon as temporary chairman OF
the convention to be held at
Charleston on July 20, and r. e.
Horner as temporary secretary.
The selection of chairman
and secretary for the Wheeling
convention was left to John II.

for his failure to produce a state
ment of the North Star Company's
affairs and his evasion of the matter
by referring to something entirely
foreign to the case under considera-

(Golden's) iron collar riveted around
his neck and the burden Of wearing
it is apparent to everyone. Shylocks
Of the build and character of Golden

that w. w. Booth desired North Star
treasury stock from him, for w. w.
Booth has learned to mistrust this
renegade.
AS to the North Star fiasco. The
share holders having in mind the
| past acts of Golden, are right in de-
manding a statement, not a mass of
glittering generalities, as to the
amounts expended (for no one knows
in what channels the receipts have

Golden will undoubtedly have IN

The ludicrous attempt on the part
of Frank, alias Mickey Golden to ex-
plain to a lot of anxious stockholders
of the North Star Mining Company
the reason for the closing down of
that property and the levying of an
assessment, by dragging into the case
the merits or demerits of an advertis-
ing bill which the courts will pass
upon, does not answer the question
at issue.
We believe, however, that whel
the case goes to a jury and the facts
are presented under oath, that Gold
en- will have to pay this just bill, as
he had been presented with it times
without number and invariably has
offered some excuse for his failure to
settle. An attempt has been made
to collect this bill through the banks
and by collectors, both of which have
failed and it was at his own reques,
that suit for collection was brought.
We shall have to see Mr.. George
Blakeslee before believing the state
ment that Golden was authorized tt
use his name in connection with the
bill. When the jury returns its YER
dict it will in all likelihood carry will
it statement that Golden is guilty
of deliberate lying. On the question
of veracity as between the word OF
w. w. Booth and Mickey Golden, il
is the opinion of many people in thi!
community that it will require ar
oath before court of competent
jurisdiction before Golden can b.
believed.
The people of Tonopah have JUS
cause for regret in placing confidence
in Golden's financial integrity, by be
ing deprived of money intrusted t;
his care. He has had the use OF /
for months and months, no settle
ment being effected yet,
We can well understand the reaso'
