modern skill has devised, and the act.

princes repertoire covers almost all
the most popular operas, and It is only
necessary TO press button TO set the
whole marvellous machinery in motion.
The actors make their entry on the
stage and play their varied parts with

A Senator Wanted information and

Found Way to Get IL.
Congress makes lots of unnecessary
trouble for the government clerks,
said veteran employee, but the
worst case | know of occurred some
years ago. certain senator asked
the comptroller of the currency 10 tell
him how much stock certain man
had In national bank He was in
formed that such information was re-
garded as confidential and could not DO
given out.
wen see about that said the SEN
ator, who was plainly disappointed and
displeased.
Several days later he secured the
passage OF resolution calling upon
the secretary OF the treasury 10 fur
nish the senate with the names and
holdings of the stockholders In all the
national banks in the country. He
really wanted to know only the inter
est OF one man in a bank. but he knew
that he couldn't get a resolution Of that
kind through the senate, SO he includ-
ed the stockholders in all national
banks.
ut took the entire force OF the comp
trollers office several weeks TO pre-
pare the information, and when 1t
reached the senate nobody paid any at
tention TO it except the author OF the
resolution. and he merely looked mt the
mass of papers only long enough to
see about the man he was after and
then tossed the papers aside. 1t was
an immense lot of work for nothing"

BOYS WHO DID BIG THINGS.
Many of the Worlds Great Men Won
Fame In Their Youth.

Some of the greatest achievements
in the world have been made by youth,
and 1t will always be so in human his
tory. David, the sweet singer of Is
rael, was shepherd, poet and a
general before he was twenty and a
king at the age of eighteen. Raphael
had practically completed his life work
at the age of thirty-seven. He did no
great artistic work after that age
James Watt, even as a boy, as he
watched the steam coming out of the
teakettle, saw in 1t the new world Of
mechanical power made possible by the
old element turned and driven by a
simple appliance.
Cortes was master of Mexico before
he was thirty-six Schubert died at
the age of thirty-one after having com
posed what may perhaps he called in
some ways the most enhancing melody
ever written. Charlemagne was mas
ter of France and the greatest emperor
of the world at the age Of thirty. Shell
ley wrote Queen Nab when he was
only twenty-one and was master OF
poetry before he was twenty-five
Patrick Henry was able to shape the
revolutionary history Of new country
before he was thirty and astonish the
world by his oratory before he was
twenty-six years old. At the age of
twenty-four Ruskin had written Mod

boy of high school age, had written

Viiginian Railway Plans.

Associated Press Special
Norfolk, Va, May Am ambi-
tious plan fer the development of
the Virginian Railway is foreshad-
owed by the action of the s;Cckhold-
ers at the r meeting here today in
authorizing the issuance Of cou-
pom bond mortgage not to exceed
SIS, 100000. OF the proceeds of the
issue about two-thirds, it is said,
will be used for improvements and
extensions. The Virginian Railway
was built by the late H. H. Rogers
and is still controlled by his estate.
It's eastern terminus is at Norfolk
and its western terminus at Deep
water, W. Va, where it connects
with the Chesapeake and Ohio. 1t
is believed to be the present plan
of the company to extend the line
to Cincinnati in order to obtain a
western outlet
