HHKwthe Templar degree had been
upon him. lie was called|
■ upon for a talk and responded in his
f usually happy vein.
Mr. Jones can no more help being
humorous than water can help run
ning down hill. His, remarks were
upon Truth, and while reciting a
number of historical events saidti
“G'yd said to the iions, ‘now you will
have Daniel for a guest to night, take
good care of him; Daniel was cast into
the den, and contrary to expectation
Daniel was not tern into shreds, but
a monster king of beasts said to Dan
iel, ‘I will lay down here and you can
h- make a pillow of my neck and main.’
" * Daniel did so and remarked, Boys,
®thia beats hell.”
Mr. Jones said further that he
‘•talked like no one else—in fact I
a always find out what hole the fellows
k -are in before I shoot—and then I poke
in my gun and fill ’em full of shot ”
| He said he liked the truth without
r frills, flounces and bangs, and wouldn’t

the truth. He had a dog once that
Med to him—the dog had barked up
a tree where there was no squirrel.
jHe knew men who had been barking
up a tree on which their had never been
a squirrel and with no likelihood of
their ever being one.
He recited the legend of Truth and
Error having gone bathing together and
Error came out first, put on Truths
clothes and has been parading over thi 8

clothes of Error said -‘before I’ll

r and ever since Truth has been d vested
I of clothing. ”
Mr. Jones said he knew preachers
who buried Truth under flowersand
f rhetoric—but he knew one man in the
North Georgia Conference who >?ould
split a hair a mile long to get at the
truth.
r‘‘Four million niggers,” said he,
‘‘just aftrr the war were praising Lin
coin for their freedom and yet 30,000 of
them are now in the penitentiary:
i Truth is the only thing that can free

thirds, it will not be a declaration of war
cr an invitation to conflict. It will simply
be a recognition of the independance of
the Cuban Republic. The fight will goon
but with better advantages to the Cubans
than they now have. Even if Spain were
stronger than she is, she would not be
likely to want war with the United States.
A great deal of the talk about the war
feeling in Spain is bluster to scare Ameri
cans and give comfort to American
Tories.
In his lecture at Atlanta Mr. Bryan
used this sentence: “Since that time
many events have transpired.”
Wnereupon the hypercritical New
York Sun remarks: “This leads us to
remark that no public lecturer can
ever win true glory upon the lyceum
platform in an English-speaking
country who imagines that events
transpire, in the sense of happening
or occurring. The case of such a lec
turer is absolutely hopeless from the
start.’’ What has the Sun to say
about one of the definitions of “tran
spire” in the dictionary ? “To become
public; to happen ’’ Perhaps the
criticism of our scholarly cotempor
ary would he ve been better had it ap
plied to the too common practice of
using such phrases as “An event hap
pened,” or “An event occurred,” or
“An event transpired.” The happen
ing of the event is the event itself,
and the word “happening,” in the
connection, is in the nature of super
erogation. However, we are not
particular about the matter; only
want to suggest matter to keep the
pbrasemaker of the Sun earning his
salary.—Cincinnati Enquirer.
If the astute Sun and the Cincin
nati school master will examine the
dictionary closer they will find that the
real meaning of the word "t.anspire”
is to “perspire” or as is often vulgarly
called “swea*;” in other words, “trau
spire,” is the more elegant and polite
term for “perspire ”

THE LEMMONS C \BE.
The Friends of Lynch are Not at Ml Satie.
Heed
The statement in yesterday’s Times
from Judge Moon, in which his connec
tion with the pardon of Massengale and
the commutation of John Lemmons’ death
sentence was clearly set forth, was read
with much interest, and was generally fa
vorably commended on.
The additional evidence in the Mas
sengale case learned by Judge Moon af
ter the trial proved interesting. It was
also generally gratifiying to know that
Judge Moon had not recommutatien of
Lemmons’ sentence, as no mitigating cir
cumstances could possibly be found in
the case.
The family and friends of Eugene
Lynch, the murdered constable, feel
keenly the action of the governor, as is
evidenced by the following letter from
a brother of the dead man:
An Ope . Letter.
Corona, Ala., Deo. 26.
To The Chattanooga Times.
Through your columns I wish to
thank the “inferior” courts, viz : cir
cuit and supreme, for their manliness
and courage in dealing with the murder
case of John Lemmons. Also to the
prosecuting attorneys. I thank them
for the honorable way in which they
conducted the prosecution by not using
unfair means, but dealing out justice,
for John was ‘ ‘simple.’’
To the “superior” court —Gov.
Turney—there is a widow and five
orphan children who pleaded for jus
tice and they got it not.
Go to the record of John Lemmons,
who did hide in ambush (he was no
doubt a littie excited, for he was about
four hours in making preparation
after he had borrowed a gun) and wil
fully slayed an officer who was in per
formance of hie sworn duty, and see
If it will bear out Gov. Turney’s state
ments made in his letter of lame ex
cuse! I would like for Gov. Turney,
in justice to the community of Soddy,
to furnish the Chattanooga Times a
list of the names on the petition from
Soddy, and if it meets their approval
lam satisfied. As to names of people
who do not exist, and people who
knew nothing of the affair, he can
give these to Col. Joe Clift for future
use.
Why does Governor Tu ney advocate
mob law aud violence by taking justice
out of the people’s hands, as he has done
iu the Lemmons, and I have no doubt
also in ihe Massengale, murder case?
The best, citizens iu the district in
which Lynch served as an officer will
ba- k tte statements made in this letter.
1 thank the people of Soddy for their
k i.d e»s to us, and especially those
fav> rs which were shown to the widow
and orphans during their sad affliction
1 write tnis letter in justice to the
friends of the murdered man. As to the
relatives’ feelings on the subject, mine
would not look well in print.
Trusting this will meet with their,
approval, I remain p F. Lynch. 1

GERMANY’S MONARCH.
Glitter and Display Attending His New
Year’s Reception.
The imperial couple of Germany re
ceive their relatives in the bi ack eagle
chamber, a magnificent room, the walls
of which are draped in cloth of silver,
while a wonderful canvas, the great
Leygebe chef d’oeuvre, covers the ceil
ing. Generals and embassadors, inti
mates of his majesty, are admitted to
the charmed circle.
Her majesty wears the crown, to
which a long veil is attached that falls
! in graceful folds down to her court
! train, the latter measuring 16 yards. It
is borne by some of the “highest ladies
in the land,” who in their turn employ
pages to help them along. The dress
material is of the heaviest kind and
loaded down with embroidery of pre
cious metals and stones. The empress,
like the kaiser, wears the insignia of the
high Prussian aud Hohenzollern orders.
His majesty is attired in the so called
“great general’s uniform,” with its
profusion of gold embroidery covering
the breast and cuffs. So costly is this
embroidery that poor officers often hesi
tate to accept the honor it exemplifies.
The costumes of the princesses are not
less showy, though their jewels are.
The personages following in their train
either wear military dress or the minis
ter of state uniform, which is of the
rococo type—silk frock coats and
breeches, jabots, cocked hats, white
stockings and pumps, with golden buc
kles. Chancellor von Caprivi alone is ex
cused from masquerading after the fash
ion of the eighteenth century. Like his
predecessor, Bismarck, he always ap
pears at court in general’s uniform.
At the chapel their majesties are re
ceived by the clergy in state, while si
multaneously a boy choir of 200 picked
voices opens the musical exercises, ac
companied by a cornet corps. The re
ligious ceremonies are short, the sermon
not lasting more than seven or eight
minutes.
The grand cour begins at once in the
white halt The emperor and empress,
surrounded by the royal family, take
their plaoes on the throne, while the
throng of notabilities pass in single file,
formally offering congratulations. The
emperor often rises to greet them with
a hearty handshake. Among those thus
distinguished are the chancellor and the
venerable generals who have seen serv
ice in the field. The kaiserin is by eti
quette forbidden to extend her hand to
anybody on state occasions.
Meantime the thousands assembled
outside await the moment when the
kaiser will descend and walk to the
armory, at the entrance to Unter den
Linden. That is a spectacle which no
body who is anybody can afford to miss,
especially as it occurs but once or twice
a year. Presently the carriage gates of
the palace are closed, the last four-in
hand rumbles away. Five minutes more
of patience, and the great portals op
posite the museum are thrown open,
the sentinels and troops of regulars pre
sent arms, and the mounted “Schutz
mann” thunder their last admonition:
“There he comes! Hurrah! “Hoch!
Hoch! Hoch!”

pianos or organs for your wife or
daughter ?

you’ll agree with us that our prices on
pianos are not high but low—lower
