AN OLD MAN TO BE PITIED.
The bitter oup mi be well nigh
ntng over for Oom Paul Kruger. Swffl
and relentless in their course, misfor
tune after misfortune has punned him
daring these last few year*, and today'
he sits with bowed head, an exile in a
foreign land, and dreams of the sad past.
Gruff, stubborn, without polish and
perhaps not unselfish, Oom Panl has not
made a happy impression on all the
world, but mou have seen lu him some
qualities to admire and a great deal to
excite their sympathy. The reverses of
tha Boor army, the fall of his capital
and the practical collapse of the Boer
oause, with his Anal hasty Sight to a
place of refuge In Holland, were a chain
of misfortunes calculated to crush even
as strong a spirit as Oom Paul's,
Jxist week his favorite daughter died,
and on Saturday the falthfnl wife of hie
bosom, whom he had not seen since
leaving Sonth Africa, passed away at
Pretoria. Crushed, broken and bowed
beneath the weight of many sorrow*,
the old man awaits the summons to
leave a world which now has for him so
little of hope or ohoer.
We have been disappointed in Oom
Paul, For a long ttmo we regarded him
with admiration. Most of ns In this
country had Bleed him up at a distance

far, tho way seems dear to all who are

history. He was laughed at by other
scientists, but the intense heat of last
summer and the phenomenal records al

from Europe nre calculated to gain for
his prediction a somewhat more respeot-

ADMIBAL SCHLEY'S CASE.
From Wednesday’s Herald.
Rear Admiral Winflold S. Schley,
United States Navy, will demand that
tliu unfortunate affair known as tho
Sampson-Sohley controversy be invest!
gatod by a court of inquiry. For this
anuonuoement there is no less authority
than the statement of Admiral Sohley
himself, who wired from Great Neck,
L. I, to the Washington Post yesterday
in response to a telegraphic query, that
he "boUevod the first step should be an
investigation ot tho matter by a court,
then by a civil action afterward,” and
that he was “preparing to take this
oonrse.” It is believed that the Admi
ral lifts already forwarded to S&orotary
Long A request for tbb appointment of a
court to ifltOstigate the famous case.
The Sohley oonrt of inquiry promises
to be the mOBt sensational case in the
history of the United Statos army or
navy since the Civil war. On aooonnt
of the high rank of the parties lnvfilved,
the remarkable bitterness displayed in
the controversy and the great promi
nence given the oase by the press of the
ooantry, general Interest iu the pro
ceedings of the oonrt will be intense,
and the bitterness heretofore displayed
will be intensified, If that be possible.
That pnblio sentiment is overwhelm
ingly on the side of Admiral Sohley is
not for a moment to be questioned. In
the eyes of the American people he is a
hero of hardly less magnitude than Ad
miral Dewey, and the clamor for his
vindication at the hands of the oonrt
will be well nigh irresistible. That Ad
miral Sebley will emerge from the or
deal with flying colors and to the com
plete undoing of his maligners and per
secutors is confidently expeoted.
Iu the codicil of his will Admiral Sir
John Edmund Oommerell, V. O., who
died in England on May 31. last, added:
"Having had fatal experience of the in
iquity of tho law in certain cases when
decisions have boon given against com
mon sense and justice I entreat the par
ties interested in my will not to appeal
to tho law if any diifionlty may arise,
bat to nrbitrate. Having been swindled
myself by every lawyer that I over hod
anything to do with makes me eifer
this advioe to my heirs, exeontors and
assigns.”
At a sitting last week of the Corona
tion Oonrt of Claims, whose funotion it
is to deoide rival claims to certain hered
itary privileges connected with the oere-
monles attending the crowning of a
British monarch, some extraordinary
survivals of mediievol fnstlan were re
realed. The Duke of Norfolk asserted
it to be his inherited right to provide
glove for the King and to snpport one
of his arms; another Dake preferred a
claim to act as chief butler; two noble
lords bad an animated disonsslon as to
whioh of them had inherited from a
common ancestor the care of tho King’s
spurs, and still anothor insisted that he
was sole heir to the privilege of carrying
his royal master’s shirt to him on the
morning of his coronation.
Professor W. H. Lyuoh, of Mountain
Grove Academy, at Mountain Grove,
Mo., is credited with reading more paid
for newspapers than any other man in
tho United States. Ho subscribes for
fifty-eight- newspapers, six of them
dailies. The professor says: "I use the
newspapers in nry classes. They aro
the best instrument in the world for
teaching current history aud geography,
The real drama of life in its varied forms
of oomuieroiol, political and social rela
tious must be seen and learned through

per. Every Friday morning in the
academy is devoted to the reading of
newspapers."
The Thomasville Times Enterprise
has spoken, and here is what it says
about it: “The Times-Enterprise is for

and second, for tho nominee of the

state he hails from, That’s the com
plexion of oor Democracy,"
