A large increase of capital stock will be made, he says. When the pa per has been organized and set going. This is the first authorized state ment about the new paper. Circus In Clinton.

ORIGINAL TELKGRAPII LIN L\ First in (lie United States Built Front Washington to lliililmore* Tlioro was jus! ono story to enliven almost three months of debate in the senate over ''resident Tail's railroad regulation hill. To senate was seri ous most of the time. Senator Bailey told the story just before debate was finished, and it was suggested by the legislation which the senate Inserted In the bill by amendment which has to do with the regulation of telegraph and telephone lines. Here it is: "The truth is that the first telegraph line ever established in the United states was established with an ap propriation from the Federal treas ury and procured through the gener ous impulse of a Tennessean. "It was in the closing hours of a session when the appropriation of ^lO.iiiiu had passed the senate, and it seemed as if the adjournment of con gress would occur before it could be considered in the house. I nder a ten sion Which few men in the world have ever experienced Mr. .Morse went to a doorkeeper of the house and asked him who was the best hearted man among all the representatives. The doorkeeper told him that it was Rob < i t I.. Cnrrulliers of Tennessee, who. Strange to say. was a bachelor. He sent lor Mr. Carruthers and made his last appeal. Ho look Carruthers to the basement of the Capitol, where he had established his instrument, and. taking a message from Carruthers as he sal at one desk, transmitted it to an associate, who received it as the other desk and read U to Carruthers exact ly as he had written it. Upon that demonstration Cnrrulliers went back into Hie house of represen tatives and secured do passage of that item, and it is one of the ironies of politics thai the Ii ist message ever transmitted over an established line eamo from Baltimore to Washington announcing the nomination of Car ruther's .meat political rival lor the presidency of the United tSates. "Under those < Ircumstances it was not remarkable thai the government should have fell privileged to demand at the hands of the telegraph company concessions which were not generally accorded its customers. "Ami then. loo. as I said a moment ago, W0 had not in I hat day reached the conclusion thai everybody who uses a public utility is entitled to use it on the same terms." New York I lei aid.

For more than a century tho nation has been dc dining. The government has been linanclnlly embarrassed with a heavy permanent debt In later years the unrest of the people has become more and more marked. There are but two important cit ies in Portugal Lisbon, the capital, and Oporto, a litlle further up the coast. Lisbon, situated upon the mouth of the TngUS river, has one of the finest natural harbors in the world. Its population is 360,000, ac cording to ilgures recently compiled for geographical purposes. Portugal in recent years has maintained a standing army of about . It has been estimated that, in time of war. the king could recruit an army of I7*>,U00. The most of the soldiers have been recruited through conscription and many are mere boys. The government of Portugal while nominally a monarchy, has not been stric tly a monarchy, literally speaking. The king's c abinet consisted of seven members, but tho legislative power was vested in :i Cortes Oorass, or na tional assembly. This assembly was modelled after tho parliament of Croat Hritnin. The Cortes consists of n house of peers and a house of deputies. The latter are elective. The king's powers wer.- similar to those of the king of Kngland. lie bad certain prerogatives relative to tho assembly and to the passage and veto of mea sures. The revolutionists want a striel democracy modelled after the Uni- ! ted Slates of America. The Sil ml J Sprint's School.

To ask "What is the most wonder ful thin?; about Shuksporo?" is like asking "What is the best thing in lifo?" or "What is the greatest thing in the world?" The three questions are almost equally broad and admit of as many replies. From whatever side Shakesporo is viewed he stands out preeminent. Iiis writings consti title the ultimate manifestation of hu man genius and mark the summit of human achievement, A rib of Shake spore," said one critic, "would have made Milton; a rib of Milton, all poets who have written since." And that is the common verdict of mankind. With sporadic exceptions like Tolstoi ami Bernard Shaw, the wisest and best among men have vied with one an other in a generous rivalry of praise, and generation aller generation has paid gracious tribute to his name ami fame. The place Shakspcre holds in tin world's heart is shown by the all-ab sorbing interest taken in him. lie is today the most interesting man that ever lived. Any fact with even the 11 mostest bearing on his life or works commands instant and eager scrutiny. An authentic portrait of him would be worth a fortune ami would make it owner famous forever. The dis covery of a new play by him would create a greater stir than the discov ery of a new plam t. Volumes have been written on* how he spelled his name; libraries have grown up around each of his plays; and his chlol Characters are among tho permanent possessions of our race. Furness does not exaggerate when he says of Ham led: "No one of mortal mould (save Him whose blessed feet were nailed for our advantage to the bitter cross'i ever trod this earth, command ing such absorbing interest as this Hamlet, this lucre Creation of a poet's brain. No syllable that ho whispers, no word let fall by any one near him. but is caught and pondered as no words ever have been except of Holy Writ. Upon no throne built by mor tal hands has ever 'beat so tierce a light' as upon that airy fabric reared at KJIslnore." The main causes of Shukspcrc's greatness are too well known to need more than casual mention. One of the most familiar of them, and cer tainly not the least wonderful, is tho high average of his efficiency. Other writers whom the WOrTd calls great live by one book; they attain their maximum of offlclonoy but once; their star of achievement may rise in slow, ordered development or (lash upward in meteoric splendor, but the zenUli of its orbll onco having been reached it turns downward to hs final Betting. Not so with 'Shaksporo. AKcr a brief period of apprenticeship and experimental ion. ho attains a summit of aehieveinen: lutltchless in literature and from thill seien.' sil prcinncy ln> never declines. In be wildering succession und curoless ra pidity ho givos to the world more than u score of plays every one of which marks its creator as su premo. Tragedy, comedy, history, all three divisions of the drama combine and culminate in him. Any two ol the three classes might hi1 left out of account and his achievement in the third Held would stamp him as the master Knglish playwright, lint probably the most widely rec ngni/.od element ol Shakes pete's s: e: j : is Iiis power of characterization, Ills piercing insight Into the human soul in its every mood, his poignant por trayal of the human Henri wrought upon now by the mystery of hope, now by the agonies of desire. Indeed his power here is as broad ami de >p as humanity, as elemental as mil ire it operates as freely as a grettl nat ural law and seems as little subject to accidents of time and spate. With what an Immortal company has he peopled the world! Call the roll of his four hundred characters ami watch (hem as each step forth. Instinct with life, made in the image or his creator, perfect in symmetry and Proportion. Kvery grade of society is there. ever> class and condition of life; the seep tied monarch and the sweating jour neyman: the armored knight and the pickpocket in rags; the mother with her ha by on her knee ami the tooth less crone mumbling front the Indult of the grave; the supple kneed cour tier ami the awkward rustic; old age in its dodderhif imbecility ami youth with its rash hopes and high daring; great-hearted simplicity stalked by wolllsh treachery; the Innocence of pure girlhood ami the hardened wan tonness of halotry; love passing the love of woman and 'the smllor with the knife tinder Iiis cloak;' wl ? statesmen sittinv. at kings' councils ami the jangling laughter of rools; nobility of birth and breeding, (he sweet vanity of wisdom ami expe rience, elbow to elbow with slack jawed idiocy and stark, staring mad ; ness. Before such tremendous fouls of the creative imagination our minds almost recoil in awe. It is hardly an exaggeration to assert that if in Hilt! the whole human race had been wiped from the earth, a society could have been COUtrucloit front Sliaks pore's characters that would well and truly have guided the world's destiny. But observations like these are commonplaces of Shakspcrlau criti cism, and any reader could cite llieni by the dozen. There is. however, one point connected with Shuksporo's work that perhtipi because of iis very ob viousness and simplic ity, has he. n overlooked. This is nothing more not less than the enormous si/.e ol his vocabulary. Shaksporo uses the as tounding total of lit.OOO separate and distinct words. Now, the working vo cabulary of the average business man without a college education is placed at about l.fiOO. The man with a col. lone diploma, who is loosely called "educated," Is acc redited with n vo cabulary id' from three to four Minus ami words. The Old Testament em ploys .">. iil_ words. Milton, probably the most learned ICligllsIl poet, Used 8,000 words. That Is, to put ll com parativeiy. Shakspcrc's vocabulary was almost double that of Milton, almost treble that of the Old Testa lUCnt, between four and live lime. that of the average college graduate, ami ten times larger than that of the average business man. Those figure are Significant. Not only was Shnkspero's vision the widest ami pro foundest of all who have looked upon life, but the mechanics of his art, the actual machinery of his message, win correspondingly magnlliccnl ami Im pressivo. And it is to be remembered that this was Shakspere's active or working vocabulary, For u distinc tion must be made between .? reading vocabulary ami one's Writing vocabulary. Wo understand the mean lug of hundreds of words we never use in speaking or in writing. But Shnkspero actually uses lii,000 words Whore mid bow he acquired them h an unsolved riddle, The fact that hall bis life was spent in a remote conn try village, that he possessed only the rudiments of even the meagre Schooling of his day, am) that he lived at a time when the English diet Ion ary was an unknown book. I no roa . the wonder of it and makes the miracle of his vocabulary not the least among the marvels of his career, | There's a Southern Girl ^ Shoe Made Especially For You.
