POET 8AMUE MINTURN PECK.
He la an Alabama Bachelor and the Ljrlst
of tba Sonny Sonth.
Nearly every magazine reader ia fa
miliar with the dainty, exquisite verse
of Samuel Min
turn Peck, but
few of them
know anything
concerning the
personality of the
young poet who
twangs his lyre
. ,
Mf-so tuneiuiiy.
siTis is due large-.
ly to the fact that
Peck has made
no attempt to ex
ploit himself by
taking to the
Samuel M. peck, lecture platform
or by encouraging newspaper interview
ers. He resides in a venerable southern
mansion in the outskirts of Tuscaloosa,
Ala,, spends a great deal of his time
communing with nature, and pens his
songs as the muses inspire them. He is
a bachelor, and his books, his musio and
his beloved roses fill his life with pleas
ure and peace. ,
The poet's father was a distinguished
member of the southern bar, and was at
one time chief justice of Alabama. He
was a native of New York and was of
Felsh and French extraction. The poet's
mother was a Connecticut woman of
English descent He began writing verse
at a very early age and was soon one of
the well known contributors of society
verses to the leading magazines. His
first book of poems, "Cap and Bells,"
has passed through five editions, and is
particularly popular in the south. A
later book, "Rings and Love Knots,"
has also been successful and is n earing
a third edition. Many of the poet's
poems have been set to music and
achieved wide popularity.
One of the best known is "A Little
Knot of Blue," written for Yale stu
dents, set to musio by the Yale Glee
club and frequently sung by a chorus of
800 students. Another popular song is
"Mignon," which has often been sung
by Calve, and still another is the negro
melody, "Swinging on a Grapevine
Swing." Everything Peck writes is so
musical and is so perfect in rhyme and
rhythm that it quite naturally suggests
a song.
Peck is a man of prepossessing appear
. ance, with a sturdy physique, fair com
plexion, gray eyes and a well formed
head poised upon broad, powerful shoul
ders. When he sings of nature he seems
to get very near to nature's heart, and
his "Elf Song" is a rare bit of poetic
fantasy.
A NEGLECTED BABE.
Tba Future King of England la Bern.
Brought Up on a Bottle and by Servants.
A loyal writer has been lamenting
the undeserved slight cast upon the
Duke of York's baby, who has been left
for a full fortnight in sole charge of
Mrs. Green, his nurse, in gross disre
gard of tradition and precedent Even
Queen Victoria, his great-grandmother,
who made such a fuss about him when
he was born, although within a couple
of hours' Journey, has not been to see
him since the christening, and now she
has gone oS to Scotland. His mother,
his four grandparents, his aunts and his
numerous cousins were all out of reach,
and this baby, who will one day be
king and emperor, was entirely among
strangers two whole weeks. His mother
came back last night but the baby will
not see much of her, for she starts al
most immediately with her husband ou
another long trip.
It is not suggested that Prince Ed
ward himself has worried much about
this seemingly heartless neglect Being
a royal baby, he has never been allowed
to seek nourishment at the maternal
fount and, like all infants whether born
to the purple or in a hovel, his tastes
are simple and his wants smalL I re
fuse positively to make known the par
ticular brand of infants' food upon
Which Prince Edward is waxing fat
but am able to add upon authority that
he enjoys robust health and will be vac
cinated at the end of this month. New

A NIHILIST PLOT.
Trmili About the Accident to the Graad
Duchess Xenia of Russia.
There is great excitement in imperial
circles at St Petersburg, according to
trustworthy information, because of the
accident to the Grand Duke Miohaelo
vitoh and the Grand Duchess Xenia, the
daughter of the czar, on the evening of
their marriage a few weeks ago. Tho
tolegraphio dispatches which were sent
from Knssia at the time declared that
on the way from Peterhof palace, whero
the wedding was celebrated, to the cas
tle of Prosha, where the honeymoon was
to be passed, the coachman's eyes had
been blinded by the bright calcium
lights, the carriage had been overturned
and the occupants severely bruised,
Bnt this report it now appears, was
highly colored by order of the imperial
censor, who wields snch autocratic pow
er over the press and telegraph offices in
Russia. The truth appears to be that
the accident was the result of a nihilis
tio conspiracy to murder the young
pair.
On the way to the castle the newly
wedded couple had to cross a bridge
spanning a dangerous cut The bridge
had been tampered with by the conspir
ators, so that when the imperial car
riage rushed over it the timbers gave
way, and the carriage and occupants
fell to the bottom. The coachman was
so badly wounded that he died before
he could be removed to a hospital. .' The
grand duchess was badly bruised about
the head and body and had her right
arm broken. It is also feared that she
was in jnred internally. Her young hus
band had also severe cuts about the
head.
The excitement of course, was intense
in the city when the truth became
known, despite the efforts to suppress it
and to spread the news that it was an
accident
Many reasons are assigned as the mo
tive for the attempt to kill the favorite
daughter of his majesty. . It had been
expected, some say, that the czar, in
honor of the wedding, would pardon a
number of political prisoners. When it
became known that these hopes were
not to be realized, the nihilists deter
mined to revenge themselves in a way
which would hit the ruler hardest the
death of his daughter. They almost ac
complished their purpose. The czar and
other members of the family fear that
the wretches, maddened by the partial
failure of their plans, may try some
other way of seeking revenge. The po
lice for this reason have orders to be
unusually vigilant New York Trib

NEW FOUND WEALTH.
Over S3, 000 Discovered la an Old German
Family Bible.
James Pateman is a wholesale dealer
in potatoes who lives on Federal street
Camden. His wife's maiden name was
Oberstal, and her mother sold fruit and
vegetables for 50 years under the old
Market street sheds. She died in 1879,
and her daughter was surprised to find
how small her savings were, although
she had been a very thrifty woman. It
was believed, however, that she had giv
en her money to a frolicking spendthrift
son, and the matter was forgotten.
Two weeks ago a relative called on
Mrs. Pateman to ask what had become
of the mother's German Bible, saying
that it contained the family births and
deaths and should be looked up. Mrs.
Pateman, after some reflection, remem
bered that an old trunk contained some
of her mother's clothing and at once
made a search therein. The Bible was
found a huge folio, 18 inches square
and it contained much besides good
precepts, for between the leaves nestled
a 6-20 United States bond for $500,
with all the coupons attached, and
$750 in legal tender notes. Further
search brought to light a nest of gold
and notes in a battered old tin tea cady.
Some of the eagles are dated 1820, and
there are over $50 in $1 pieces.
In all the treasure trove is about $3,
100. Mrs. Pateman already wishes she
had never seen the money, as about 20
nephews and nieces are going to law
for a share of it Philadelphia Times.
A Soft Thing In the Crab Line.
Just think of a soft shell crab weigh
ing 24 ounces and measuring 21)
inches from tip to tip of the extended
claws. Such a crab was received by Mr.
S. B. Scoggins yesterday, with two
crates of other soft crabs, shipped from
Deal's Island, Maryland, by Mr. W. J.
Webster.
In a letter which accompanied the
shipment Mr. Webster wrote that it
Was the largest soft shell crab he bad
ever seen or heard of. Mr. Scoggins,
who has been in the fish business over
50 years, said he had never seen one
which even approached in size this
giant soft crab. He sent the crab by ex
press to the Smithsonian institute at
Washingtonor permanent preservation.
Th soft shell crab varies in size from
two inches to the size of the gaint crab
sent to Mr. Scoggins. The "count"
crab, which is considered full size,
measures 0 inches from tip to tip, is
1 inches long on the shell and 2)
Inches across the back. -Baltimore Ban,
Human Nature.
Samuel Gompers sizes up human na
ture in this way: "The more the wage
worker gets the more be will want We
are just like other people. Yon will
find that the man who earns $1 a day
aspires to $1. 10, the man who has half
a million wants a million, and the man
who has $50,000,000 wants the earth."
SAVED A UTTLE GIRL'S LIFE.
Harvard Student Bescnea a Child Wean
Death by an Electric Car la Cambridge,
A signal instance of courage and
quickness of thought which undoubted
ly saved the life of a little chlid, occur
red in Cambridge on Friday evening.
Shortly before 7 p. ru. a Tremont
Honse electrio car was passing along
Main street at a very rapid rate. Near
Windsor street a little girl, apparently
about 3 years of age, ran from the side
walk toward the track. The motorman
tuickly shut off the current and put on
the brake. Then the child paused, and
the motorman released the oar.
Just as the car had regained its mo
mentum the child, through some strange
impulse, darted forward to cross the
track. The motorman was almost
breathless with horror. There was no
time to stop the car, and the toddling
infant seemed doomed.
Suddenly a tall, athletio young man
sprang from bis seat at the end of the
front row, and grasping the curved han
dle on the dasher of the car with his
right hand swung himself out on the
fender. Just as the car was about to
crush the little girl under its wheels he
seized her firmly by the waist
It was a trying moment to the nerves
of the passengers and motorman. It
seemed for an instant as if both man
and child would fall in front of the
fender. Bnt by an almost convulsive
effort the resouor lifted the little girl
from the track and laid her on her back
at one side out of the reach of the
wheels.
So great was the strain upon him that
as soon as the child was released he him
self fell forward on the fender, and
only an unusual degree of agility en
abled him to scramble up on his knees
and back to hia-seat in the car.
The whole thing, y as done in an in
stant The motorman, pale with fright
was only able to look" his thanks.
- The hero of the- affair was the most
composed person on the car. He at once
sought a rear seat to avoid attention,
merely remarking' to the motorman as
he passed: VGodl Why don't you got
ont of'thi8?' , .

REIGNING FAMILIES.
America Haa Its "Uncommon People, and
They Are Oar "Boyal Families.
In discussing the family squabbles of
one of the reigning families of New
York, Mr. Ward MoAllister, as the rec
ognized authority on everything which
concerns the uncommon people, says
that the trouble is doubtless over and the
family "probably entertaining some for
eign prince at their house on the
Thames."
Why not? Are' not our royal families
as good as those ef Europe, of Asia, of
Africa or anywhere else where royal
families are tolerated?
Mr. McAllister will undoubtedly
agree with us that they certainly are.
It makes no great difference how power
over man is .obtained whether by the
force and brutality which made princes
In more primitive' times or by modern
methods. The result is the same in any
event " . '
It is just as honorable and glorious a
thing (a accumulate a hundred million
unearned dollars and thereby master the
bodies. 'and subjugate the minds of 10,-
000,1)00 men as it is to do the same
thing by virtue of controlling a million
bayonets. On either hand it is power
usurped from the people to dwarf and
maim their minds and souls for the
greater glory of their masters.
Our royal families need not stand
back for those of Europe or of any other
country. Their right to reign is as good,
their blood is as good, and their man
ners, though sometimes indecent when
measured by ordinary standards of de
cency, are even better than those which
characterize the most courtly courts of
the world.
When our reigning families go to
Europe and buy the palaces of the effete
survivors of a decayed feudalism, it is
condescension to entertain the former
owners, and it would be condescension
still if it were done in the servant'
hall instead of the salon. New York

A Great Summer Snowsllde.
The Rev. Roland D. Grant of the
First Baptist church reached home last
week, the first to arrive of the party
leaving here a month ago to make the
ascent of Mount Hood from Govern
ment camp. The descent was easy
enough, almost too rapid for some. One
lady badly frightened the crowd when
she made a misstep and started down
the mountain side at a lively gait There
was a momentary shriek of horror, but
when the woman struck her heels firm
ly in the snow and so checked her wild
career every one felt better. Just then
Dr. Grant suggested he could do the
same himself, and he, his daughter and
Mrs. W. Gray were a moment after
floundering in the snow. They slid down
1,000 feet landing in safety below, to
the great merriment of those who
watched the frolic. Portland Orego-

Modest Oscar Wilde.
A story is being told that on the death
recently of the great scholar, Mr. wal'
ter Pater, the editor of a London even
ing paper telegraphed to Oscar Wilds
to ask him to supply some personal gos
sip about the dead man, who was known
to be a friend of the ex-aesthete. Where
upon Mr. Wilde wired back, "Leave

or literature." New York Times.

Tho latest uilditinu to the fashionable
wardrobe is an odd garment made with
out sleeves. It's a chic affair, howeveV,
and bids fair to bo very popular. The
first bodice of this description was born
in France. It was made of black chiffon
over black lace. Flimsy bows of the
chiffon graced each shoulder. These
bows wore the only semblanoe of sleeves
which the bodioe possessed. But odd as
the idea may seem, sets of sleeves were
sold with it They were all of some
sheer material like chiffon or orepeTde
chine, but made according to a variety
of designs.
Ono pair of sleeves were of white
chiffon ruffles and had a soft billowy
appear an oe very effective. Another pair
were very bouffant scarlet puffs. The
bodioe is to be worn with different
skirts, and the idea is to have the sleeves
match the shirt in color. The Parisian
modiste is oertaiuly unique.
