character absolute and crclusirc.
No other body, tribunal or autho-

Of course it was competent for
Congress to authorize any citizen,

to give his roll any constitutional
place in the proceedings, or to
furnish any rules or regulations
for the occasion that attempt was
wholly unconstitutional and rOid.
Thus that | have shown you that
under the law and the very statu-
It's under which Mr.. Favrot claims
to have acted, the whole attemp-

will be their constant aim.

GENIUS Is LovELoRr.

Great Natures Seldom Win True
Happiness in Marriage.
Inc part that love has played In the
iiVes OF men and women Of genius never
Ialls to interest the rest Of the world,
out 1t Is no matter of surprise to stu
uents OF human nature to discover how
Few OF these love stories have repre-
sented anything like the happiness
which falls to the lot of well behaved
oobodies with only everyday capacities,
ana hopes, and aspirations.
Occasionally two great natures may
reach the heights OF those magnificent
solitudes Of genius together, and enjoy
their splendid isolation in an atmcs-
phere in which the more commonplace
would be exceedingly bored and uncom-
portable. It has probably been the
dream OF every great mind to enjoy
this intellectual companionship, and, in
the first stages of youthful hope and
ardor, perhaps, to expect it.
In comprehending in how few cases
the anticipation has been realized, we
strike the tragic note of so many illus
trious lives, already sufficiently handi-
capped by sordid poverty, sickness,
early death, and by the never ceasing
struggle for fame and recognition.

The establishment of parcels post In

pensive. Millions would have to be
laid out In equipment, more millions in
salaries, and hundreds Of thousands in
rental for Office space Postmaster Cen
eral Meyers claim that parcels post
would make the postoffice department
pay is not well founded. He has not
proved his case. Even If every word
he said was based on demonstration,
this country does not want a parcels
post system that will crush out every
country merchant and kill every BUSH
ness in the small towns except butter,
eggs, vegetables and made-to-order
clothing. What chance will the small
dealer have in competition with Coli
aths of merchandising who send out
catalogues Of thousands Of pages and
sell anything from a toothpick to q
locomotive? He simply can not CON-
pete with them. The day that parcels
post goes into effect he must quit bust
ness. Perhaps he may be able to get

VESSELS BEARING ROYAL NAMES

British Men-o'-War that Seem
Doomed to HI luck.
One of the strongest and most inef-
faceable of all superstitions in the royal
navy-superstitiOn almost as strong to
day as ever it was-is that vessels
bearing the name of royal personages
are doomed to i'll luck, and strange as
it may seem there is an undeniable his
torical basis for this feeling, says Tit
Bits.
Some of the most terrible disasters
ever known in connection with our
navy have concerned war vessels with
royal names. Two vessels called the
Royal James came to disastrous ends
One Of them exploded, and some 500
officers and seamen persisted; the other
ship so named was actually carried out
of the mouth Of the Thames by the
Dutch under circumstances disgraceful
to those in charge of the craft.
Then there is the forever memorable
disaster Of the Royal George, that
turned over and sunk in sight OF
crowds at Spithead, over 1000 souls,
among whom were 800 women, being
sacrificed. And second only to this hid
eous disaster is that which afterward
befell the Royal Charlotte, which was
consumed by fire off Leghorn, over 500
of the very flower of our navy perish
ing with her.
When in 1893 the Victoria, new
vessel and the very triumph Of modern
invention, was rammed and sunk In
sight Of the whole fleet there was not
a sailor, however matter of fact he
might be, who did not remember the
dire fate of royalty named craft. Three
years later a schooner named the Roy
alist foundered in a gale off Holyhead,
while in 1891 British bark, the
Queen, was sunk and her captain and
six men drowned.
