CLAY TO BE THE CHAIRMAN.
. Looked Upon as a Stepping Stone to
the Governorship.
Col. Borner Retires From the Skirmish
After a Friendly Conference With
Mr. Olay—The Latter Will, There
fore, Preside Over the State Conven
tion and Be at the Head of the New
State Executive Committee.
Atlanta, Ga., June 28.—Chairman Al
len Fort to-day issued a call for a meet
ing of the state democratic executive com
mittee to be held in Atlanta on July 10.
A meeting of the state campaign com
mittee, of which Charles S. Northen, of
Atlanta, is chairman, will be held at the
same time. The purpose of the meeting
of the executive and campaign commit
tee is to discuss the gubernatorial cam
paign and outline the work to be done
between now and the meeting of the state
convention.
Judge Hines, the populist candidate for
governor, is already hard at work and
with his campaign committee well organ
ized to support him will continue to thump
away at the until the day of
the election. The democratic leaders
have no doubt of victory, but they do not
want to give the populists any advantage
by delay in starting the campaign.
CLAY AND BERNER.
Hon. A. S. Clay and Col. Bob Berner,
of Forsyth, held a consultatiort hfere yes
terday in regard to the chairmanship of
too state convention, and the new state
executive committee; Both Col. Berner
and Mr. Clay have been permanently
mentioned for that honor, and the pur
pose of their meeting was to come to a
friendly understanding on the subject.
Judge Fort, the present chairman, would
not accept the chairmanship of the new
committee on account of holding the office
of railroad commissioner. Ho became
chairman through the resignation of Hon.
W. Y. Atkinson when be began his can
vass for the gubernatorial nomination.
CLAY TO BB TJIE CHAIRMAN.
The result of the conference between
Messrs. Clay fend Borner was that Mir.
Berner decided not to allow the use of
his name for the chairmanship, and Mb.
. Clay will ask his friends for their sup
port. He has already written a number
of letters notifying his friends of his deci
sion to be a candidate for the chairman
ship. Up to date Col. Berner was his
only competitor, and now that he has
withdrawn the chances aro that Mr.
Clay, of Cobb, will be the chairman of the
convention and of the state committee.
STEPPING STONE TO THE GOVERNORSHIP.
The chairmanship of the state commit
tee seems to be a reorganized stepping
stone to the governorship, and the politi
cal sages who generally have the run of
things are already predicting that Mr.
Clay will lie the next nominee of the party
after Mr. Atkinson. It was a case of
splitting hairs this year as to whether
Mr. Atkinson or Mr. Clay should make
the race against Gen. Evans. In view of
this Mr. Clay’s candidacy for the chair
manship of the state committee is very
significant. It is one of the shadows that
forecast coming events. -
M’OANDLESS DISSATISFIED.
lie Does Not Think His Exonoration
Is Sufficiently Complete.
Atlanta, Ga., June 28.—The quashing of
the indictments against E. S, JjpCandless,
ex-cashier of. tho Gate Cityßank, who
was charged with aiding ami abetting
Lewis Redwine in his embezzlement, has
caused that gentleman to register a vigor
ous protest against what he regards as
outrageous treatment at the hands of
Cant. Harry Jackson in particular,
and the United States court in
general. Mr. McCandless was otit
of the city when the indictments
were nol pressed on Tuesday and only re
turned to-day. Shortly after his arrival
he called upon his attorneys to see if
there is not some way by which his true
relation to the (late City Bank can be
brought out and the guilt fixed where it
belongs. He wanted a trial and was
willing to pa v the expenses of the prose
cution. Capt. Jackson’s action in having
the case quashed, he says, shuts
him oft from the complete exoner
ation to which . he is enti
tled after having borne the burden of un
just accusation for a year and more. Just
what course Mr. McCandless will adopt
is not known, but It is more than likely
that he will cause some interesting de
velopments to be made. It is understood
that Capt. Jackson went to the Columbus,
0., penitentiary to get an interview
with Lewis Redwine and a statement to
use against McCandless, but Redwine re
fused even to see him.
LONG AND SHORT HAULS.
The Interstate Commission Decides tn
Favor of a Complainant.
Washington, June 28.—The interstate
commerce commission to-day in an
opinion by Commissioner Yeoman an
nounced its decision of the case of H. W-
Zehlmer against the Memphis and
Charleston, East Tennessee, Virginia and
Georgia and South Carolina roads. The
carriers charge 9 cents per hundred mor©’
for the transportation of hay from Mem
phis to Summerville, S. C., than they do
for carrying that commodity from Mem
phis over tho same connecting line to
Charleston, 21 miles oast of Summer
ville. The complainant alleged this
to be in violation of the long
and short haul clauses. The
carriers set up the competition of-various
lines subject to the law for carrying be
tween Memphis and Charleston. The
commission holds that these considera
tions do not justify carriers in departing
from the long and short haul rule in the
absence of an order of relief issued by the
commission under the proviso clause of
the fourth section, and reaffirms its con
struction of the long and short haul pro
visions as laid down in the
Social Circle and Georgia railroad
commission cases and lately sustained by
the circuit court of appeals at New
Orleans by its decree in favor of the com
mission in the Social Circle case. Tho
carriers are ordered to cease and desist
from making the higher charge for the
shorter distance to Summerville, without
prejudice to their right to apply for a re
lieving order under the fourth section.

BAD TIMES AT OUR BACK.
Returning Prosperity Seen All Along
the Horizon.
Baltimore, June 28.—Reviewing the<
buqjness conditions of the south for the?,
past week the Manufacturers’ Record
says: '‘The past week has been without
any special features in southern trade
conditions, and while a very hopeful feel
ing regarding the early future prevails,
business men are inclined to wait until
the tariff matters are settled before tak
ing up new ventures.
“Among the more important new enter
prises reported during the week were a
SIOO,OOO dredging company, SIO,OOO tele
phone company, $27,000 cigar factory and
phosphate mines in Florida; a pipe plant,
saw mills and stave mill in Alabama; a
$20,000 mercantile company, $150,000
ice company, water works and
canning factory in Louisiana; a $46,000:
sewerage system, SSO,(XX) publishing com
pany, lead and zinc mines and furniture
factory in Virginia; a SIOO,OOO cotton mill
company, gold mines, telephone systems
and lumber mills in North Carolina; iron'
mines and lumber plants in Georgia.”
. RECORD OF. THREE MONTHS.
In summarizing the record of southern
development for the past three months,
the Manufacturers’ Record says: “The
gradual expansion of the industrial inter
ests of the south and the steady improve
ment, slow but sure, that is taking place,
is shown by the fact that during the.
last three months the number of new
industrial enterprises reported in the
Record aggregates 787,
against 662 for the preceding quarter,
and 486 for the last quarter of 1893. This
is the largest number of now enterprises
reported in any one quarter for eighteen
months.
“In view of the general conditions pre
vailing throughout the country and of the
hesitation because of the tariff discussion,
it is a remarkable proof of the improving
tendency of the business interests of the
south that in the last three months 787
new enterprises have been projected,
against 436 during ithe last three months
of 1893, or an increase of nearly 100 per -
cent.
A COMPARISON.
“Comparing the statistics somewhat
in detail, there were 145 wood working
plants established during the last three'
months, against 64 during the last quar
ter of 1898; furniture factories increased
from 2 to 9, mining companies from 47 to
67, cotton mills from 5 to 13, cotton seed oil
mills from none to 11, canning
fcatories from 10 to 28. water works from
18 to 35. machine shops and foundries
from 16 to 19, miscellaneous iron and steel
works from 4 to 10, cotton compresses
from none to 4, ice factories from 7 to 20,
electric light and power plants from 21 to
27, miscellaneous industries from 190 to
355.” '

THOMASJk.JSDISON ILL.
Suffering From an Attack of Accute
Enteritis, Caused by a Cold.
From the Philadelphia Record.
Orange, N. J., June 26.—Thomas A.
Edison, the inventor, is suffering from an
attack of acute enteritis, believed to have
been caused by a cold. It was at first be
lieved that the illness was the result of a
fall sustained at Ogden on Friday eve
ning, when the back of the chair gave
way and Mr. Edison fell, striking heavily
on the floor of the porch. Dr. Fewsmith
says, however, that the accident has
nothing to do with the attack, being
merely a coincidence. Mr. Edison is a
sick man, but the doctor believes that a
few days' rest and good nursing will re
store “the Wizard” to good health.

A Pearl Found in a Clam.
From the Philadelphia Ledger.
New York, June 25. —Policeman Ru
dolph Newschaffer, of the East Sixty
seventh street station, when going off his
morning detail on Saturday to his home,
at No. 763 Madison avenue, was prevailed
upon bj’ an itinerant vendor to buy 25
cents worth of clams. At home, News
chaffer, in opening one of the clams, en
countered an obstruction. The police
man, upon prying the shell apart, found
snugly ensconced in the heart of the mol
lusk au enormous pearl. The gem gave
out prismatic rays that proclaimed in
trinsic worth. Newschaffer took the
pearl to Jeweler Lambert, at Fifty-eighth
street and Third avenue. That gentle
man placed the pearl upon his scales and
gazed dumfounded at the result. It
weighed 65 grains. It was perfect in
form. “I have never seen or beard of one
so large,” said Mr. Lambert, “and it is
absolutely perfect. I would put no esti
mate on its worth, but it is very valuable.
The pearl is as large as one's thumb nail,
and fully one-third of an inch in its great
est diameter.”
STATE AID BONDS VOID.
A Decision in a Case Involving Over
$1,000,000 of Securities.
Little Rock, Ark., June 28.—The chan
cery court rendered a decision to-day in
, the suit against the Little Rock and Fort
Smith railroad, involving the validity
of over $1,000,000 worth of bonds
issued by the state in 1868 in
aid of the road. The case was
argued the last week in May. The de
cree is against the plaintiff, the court
holding that the state aid bonds are ut
terly void, and that no lien was created
by the acts of the legislature in favor of
the state on the property of the company
receiving the bonds, and that the holders
of the bonds can have no right of secur
ity on the income and revenue of the rail
road . ,

THE WEEKLY NEWS (TWO-TIMES-A-WEEK): MONDAY, JULY 2, 1894.
DUKE OF YORK’S BABY BOY.
James Keir Hardie Kicks Up a Row
in the Commons.
The Socialist Member Objects to the
House Extending Congratulations.
He Intimates That the Royal Family
Has Not Proved Such an Unqualified
Blessing to England as to Warrant
the Proposed Action Congratula
tions Extended With Mr. Hardie
Casting the Only Dissenting Vote.
London. June 28.—There was an unex
ampled scene in the House of Commons
this evening when Sir William Harcourt,
supported by Mr. Balfour, moved an ad
dress of corigratulation to the queen upon
the birth of an heir to the Duke of York.
The motion was about to be put, when,
amid exclamations of surprise from all
parts of the House, James Keir Hardie, a
socialist, and probably the most
prominent one, said, “We owe allegiance
to no hereditary ruler. The motion pro
poses to raise the importance of an event
of every day occurrence. lam delighted
to learn that the child is fairly healthy.
[•‘Oh, On.”] 1 shall be pleased to join
in tho ordinary congratulations if I meet
the child's parents. But when the House
of Commons, representing the nation, is
asked to join in congratulations, then in
the interests of the dignity of the House, I
protest. There is one aspect of the ques
tion which concerns the House of Com
mons, a cabinet minister was required to
be present upon this interesting occasion.
I submit that such a proceeding is not
calculated to enhance the dignity of this
House in the eyes of the nation.” [Vehe
ment interruptions and cries of “Order,”
“Rot”]..
CLAIMS TO REPRESENT THE PEOPLE.
“You may say ‘rot,’ ” continued Mr.
Hardie, “but if you mixed with those you
represent you would find that the people
view this matter in a different manner. It
seems to me that some protest ought to bo
made in this connection. It is matter of
small concern to me whether the future
ruler of this country is?a genuine article
or a spurious one. The motion was made
because the child was born in the royal
family and the House has a right
to ask what particular blessing the royal
family has conferred upon the nation that
it partake in these proceedings. We are
told that the queen nas ruled for half a
century. I beg to correct this by saying
that her majesty has reigned and not
ruled.
“There is the Prince of Wales. What
special blessing has he conferred upon
the nation that we should rejoice with
him?”
Col. Saunderson, the great Orange
leader, here iqterposed. amid a scene of
great excitement in the House, and moved
that the honorable member for West
Hampshire (Mr. Hardie) be no longer
heard. [Loud cheers.]
ALLOWED TO CONTINUE.
Sir William Harcourt said that he
hoped Col. Saunderson would not press
his motion, and Mr. Hardie was allowed
to continue. He added: “I know nothing
in the career of his royal highness which
commends itself especially to me. [Loud
interruptions.] We are told that a fierce
light beats upon the throne, but some
times we catch glimpses of his royal high
ness on the race course. J Loud “ohs,”
and cries of “question.”} We know one
thing, and that is that as Duke of Corn
wall he draws £60,000 yearly from prop
erty in London.”
The speaker here arose and said that
the honorable member must confine him
self to the discussion of the resolution.
Mr. Hardie thereupon resumed, saying:
“The House is asked to rejoice because a
child Is born, but up to tne present there
is no means of knowing his qualifications
to reign over this great empire. It is
strange that people who'have so much to
sny about the hereditary element in an
other place, should be so willing
now to indorse it in this particular in
stance. The principle is the same in both
cases. This child will be surrounded by
sycophants and flatterers, and will be
taught to believe himself superior to crea
tion. In due course Os time he will tour
the world with rumors of morganatic
marriages in his train.” [Vociferous cries
of dissent.]
“As the House has not found time to
vote condolence with the widow,
and others who are suffering from the
colliery calamity in Wales, I protest
against the present mummery.”
ThO motion was then put, Mr. Hardie
alone protesting, and it was adopted amid
loud and prolonged cheers.
The budget discussion was then re
sumed.
NO KICK BY THE LORDS.
Lord Roseberry, in the House of Lords
to-day, in moving an address of congratu
lation to the queen upon the birth of an
heir to the Duke of York, said that there
was no absolute guarantee in this
world against evil. But the most
important guarantee of the permanence
of the actual form of government was the
fact that the queen had no fewer than
three direct heirs. The premier added
that the monarchy by the lapse of centu
ries had assumed functions rather social
than political.
The Marquis of Salisbury said that he
would supplement Lord Roseberry’s re
marks by stating that the present form of
government was the only one possible in
order to rally the numerous races and
creeds which were under the queen’s
away.
The motion was adopted.
A TALE FOR THE MARINES.
Two Negroes Carry Silver Under
Their Tongues for 36 Years.
From the Pittsburg Dispatch.
Birmingham, Ala., June 25.—There
lives at Rising Fawn, Ga., a negro 76
years of age, who has under his tongue a
silver quarter which he has carried in
that place for thirty-six years without
ever having removed it. His name is
Thomas Jackson and he has a nephew
whose name is George Jackson. George
Jackson has under his tongue a silver half
dollar that he has carried for the same
length of time as his uncle without ever
removing it-
These two negroes were slaves of a,
wealthy holder named Jackson, and it was
during those days that these coveted coins
were placed where they now remain.
They were given the coins one Sunday
afternoon by a couple of old time sports,
who were courting at the Jackson family.
For fear that their master would relieve
them of Che coins they were placed where
they now are, and have been kept in the
same place because of superstitious belief.
With the exception of being somewhat
worn and darkened around the edges they
look like any old silver piece. Large sums
of money have been offered for these
pieces as souvenirs, but nothing xvill in
duce their owners to sell them.
Merely a Suggestion.
(From the Atlanta Journal (Dem.).
In this column a few days ago it was stated
that Mr. dußignon would likely be placed on
the platform committee in the state conven
tion. and tn all probat ility write the platform.
This was intended to be made in the nature
of a suggestion, as Mr. dußignon was a mem
of the platform committee of the national
democratic committee and aided very mate
rially in making the platform that carried the
Democratic party into power.
RUNS OF THE RACERS.
Dobbins and Sir Walter Win the Two
Big Events at Sheepshead.
New York, June 28.—The weather at
the Sheepshead Bay race track to-day
was decidedly more pleasant than it was
yesterday. Although the sun shone
brightly, the fresh, salty breeze blowing
from the ocean *<*uiD©rod the rays and
made an almost perfect June day’. The
continued hot, dry weather had left the
track rather dusty, but otherwise it was
in fine condition for fast racing, Dobbins
going a mile in 1:40 fiat, which is within
two-fifths of a second of the track record.
This was in the Tidal stakes for 3-year
old foals of 1891, which the great Dobbins
secured, in his usual easy style, by a
length and a half from Sir Excess.
The Long Island handicap developed a
terrific driving finish in a superb contest.
Sir Walter and Roche struggled furiously
in the stretch for first position, and Sir
Walter, only by the most gallant of ef
forts, succeeded in winning by a nose,
after a furlong of heart-palpitating
racing. Lowlander, one of the entries in
this event, was left at the post.

ACCOUNTING FOR CROKER.
It Is Alleged He Will Spring a Sensa
tion on His Cwn Hook.
New York Letter in Philadelphia Ledger.
The Evening Telegram publishes this
afternoon an extremely interesting and
novel explanation of Mr. Croker’s hurried
trip across the ocean, and his equally pre
cipitate voyage home. It says: “Mr.
Croker believes with Shakespeare, that
all the world is a stage, and, following
the line of all great dramatists, he has
purposely placed himself under a cloud
until the time for dramatic effect arrives,
when his vindication comes and his
enemy is exposed.” The article contin
ues by quoting a friend of Mr. Croker,
who says that the ex-chieftain of Tam
many made his trip a hurried one pur
posely, in order to have it appear that he
was a fugitive; although he
took care to have proof availa
ble that he was not running away
from investigation or the witness
stand. The cloud on his reputation was
simply for effect. When he returns, it is
said, he will have a highly sensational
story to give out, the data for which, it is
believed, will be fully collected by that
time, attacking his chief enemy, the ed
itor of the New York World. It is further
stated that Mr. Croker is acting strictly
in accordance with his prearranged the
atric programme, the itinerary of which
was fixed six weeks before he s&iled from
New York. It cannot be denied that
when Mr. Croker sailed he created a great
sensation, and if be duplicates this when
he returns with his now heralded inter
view for the newspapers his ability in
arranging theatric surprises will not be
questioned.
A PHANTOM SCHOONER.
Strange Spectacle in the Clouds Seen
by a Baltimore Captain.
From the Baltimore Sun.
Capt.) Hill of the schooner Annie E.
Reynolds, from Chesapeake City, says a
strarge sight was witnessed by himself,
Mrs. Hill and the crew of his vessel last
Saturday night. The Reynolds then was
lying at anchor in Elk river, near Back
creek. The captain says that at 9:80
o’clock there appeared in the sky, bear
ing north-northeast Tom the Reynolds, a
schooner, with fore a fl mainmasts stand
ing. The rigging of t © vessel s foremast
appeared stranded am there was no rig
ging on the mainmas Her headgear
was gone and her jibs hung overboard,
with the exception of a little'piece of the
outer jib, which appeared to be the only
whole canvas on the vessel. The keel of
the vessel, Capt. Hill says, could be seen
from the stem to about the mainmast.
Tho spectacle appeared for fifteen min
utes to tho amazed observers. During
this time the mainmast of the phantom
ship suddenly broke off, apparently fif
teen feet above the deck, and the stern
gradually sank into the clouds, the bow
. rearing up until the picture disappeared.
The hull of the vessel seemed to be pure
white.
Plunged Down an Embankment.
Birmingham, Ala., June 28.—An engine

KEEPS HIM AT HOME.
A Husband Who Has Studied His
Wife's Success.
A Few of the Thousand Dainty Littlo
Artifices Put Forth by a Devoted
Woman.
From the New York Press.
Tho absence of the husband from his
home appears to be a growing evil. Being
a home keeping man, I have been asked
haw my wife manages the matter.
It is not an easy subject to handle, since
it involves tho mention of many small
items which, insignificant in themselves,
become important when massed together
in the aggregate.
For keeping a husband at home is not
to be accomplished by any on© single act;
it is the thousand and one acts which
weave the silken rope, strong as steel,
and scarcely felt.
To obviate any idea that I am a “tame
cat sort of man,’,’ it is perhaps necessary
to say that I have traveled and roughed
it over a fair portion of the globe, and to
day am an active fellow, fond of out-door
sports and muscular recreation, and that
I have been married nearly fourteen
years. Yet I find my chief pleasure in
the company of my wife. It is very few
evenings that an hour after business closes
I am nol at home, and it does not seem to
me that it is one evening a month I go out
again alone.
What is the secret? That is what I
have to try to tell.
In the first place I would describe my
wife as just a woman, and all that term
implies; independent, self-respecting, up
right, charitable, kind and rigidly strict
in matters of truth and money,
ALWAYS FINDS HER AT HOME.
Igo home always to find her there,
glad to see me, no litter around, but a
cozy, fairly neat room having an air of
quiet add repose, and the indefinable
sense that the one thing necessary to
complete the home picture comes -in
when I open the door. There is no dis
cord, seldom any visitors, no crying of
children, no fuss, but repose and wel
come. ,
In short, I return to find a companion,
one who never pries into my business
matters, but one who is interested in
them and who is capable .of passing an
opinion experience has taught me not
lightly to disregard. She will intelli
gently talk over any project of future
work or the position of any present busi
ness, but it is always myself who must
broach the business topic.
At 6:80 dinner is ready. The table is
always attractive, and, without ostenta
tion or display, I find that ;tny idly ex
oressed wish of mine as to certain dishes
has been noted and the dish produced. I
can see that, while the tastes of others
have not been neglected, mine have re
ceived special attention—often to the ex
tent of preparing dishes which I am fond
of, but which my wife never eats. I re
monstrate, but she laughs, find the dish
appears again, in due course. The food is
generally cooked much better and
infinitely more delicately prepared than I
get it in the best restaurant in the city,
and I know that the care and supervision
necessary to produce this result is given
solely in my behalf, for I believe but few
women will take the trouble to “cook”
for themselves individually.
BREAKFAST ON TIME.
Breakfast is always on hand, and has
the impress of the same kind; and yet it
seems to me that I seldom or never see
my wife in the kitchen, except when
she makes the bread twice a week—this
also being done especially for my personal
taste. , ' ' ,
After dinner we call upon friends or
we have theater tickets or some one is
coming in. This we know beforehand, as
a rule, for my wife does not encourage
“surprise parties.” If it is an off night,
we have a little good music for an hotlr, I
smoke a gpod cigar and confine my smoke
to one room in the house, and then, while
my wife takes up her work, I read aloud.
I find her willing to go anywhere with
me, to do anything, delighted to go for a
drive or a couple of days’ fishing trip, a
yachting trip in the vacation, ready to
don her rubber skirt, coat and sou’wester
and plunge into the flying spray that is
the breath of life to me. If it is a drive
into the country, a botanizing ramble into
the woods, a visit to some old historic
spot, she is interested, ready to grasp all
the pleasure in it.
FINANCES.
From the first she has known rny in
come and all its and I have
never known her to ask me for money.
Whatever was the figure mutually set for
our household expenses, etc., has never
been exceeded. I know that there are no
bills, and I bother my head little about
house matters, for bj’ the comfort I and
all receive, I well know that the most is
and always has been made of everything,
and my interests and hers are identical.
During the day, if, I chance to come
home, I find her devoting herself to the
children, taking walks, paying visits
and generally giving them her attention
in preference to anything else. There
are romps and fun; but in babyhood, tho
loving training began—that when I
came home the play must be quiet, and
there must be no “athletics,” unless I
joined in, which up to date is no uncom
mon thing for half an nour. They are
well mannered, fairly good, and not one
iota of trouble from one year's end to
another.
NO “TIDYING UP” THE DESK.
Being a literary man, I have a den, in
which is kept mj’ typewriter, papers,
clippings and all the litter which per-*
tains to the craft. These are never
touched. If I leave a piece of paper on
the table to daj’ it will be there a month
from to-day, moved and dusted, of course,
but the table will not be “tidied up.” As
au instance, my wife thought a box cun
ningly partitioned inside’would help me:
and so. with some strips of cardboard
and some strong thread, she made one,
just what I haa been wanting for years
and did not know it; but she did not put
the papers m it.
Since mj’ youth I have been accustomed
to take a cold bath every morning, the
water just the temperature it runs from
the faucet. Winter mornings it was, of
course, rather cold dressing. Tlie first
thing that happened was a curiously
warm dressing robe, of a material I never
saw equaled for changing warmth and
comfort, and which superseded the ordi
nary bath towel material robe as effect
ively as the electric light has gas in the
public buildings. Then after a space
came a pair of home knitted wool slip
pers, and I thought my gamut of luxu
rious bath room comfort was touched to
the highest note of its register. 1 was
wrong, for the succeeding winter saw a
plumber carry a pipe from the gas jet and
attach it to a neat gas stove, and one
morning when I went into the room I
found a pleasant temperature of 65° to 70°
instead of the old 25’to 30° and for the
thousandth time since I married 1 real
ized that I must be of precious material
to be so well taken care of.
HOME AFTER BEING OUT.
It must not be inferred that I never go
out, or that my wile ever makes an objec
tion. The only understood point is that
I always let her know as soon as I can of
my intention, but when I return her
pleasure at seeing me tells me that it has
oeen a not too pleasant evening or day,
even though she has been out somewhere
herself, and that she is glad it is over.
As to my friends. I find when they come
that the one great difficulty is to get them
to let me take them out. They want my
wife along, or th©j r are perfectly willing
to stay home, and this is uot always de-
sirable, for a man’s friend is a man’s
friend and is not always acceptable to a
woman, and for this no reason can be
given; so unless my wife is known to
have a decided liking for any man of my
acquaintance, I make it my aim to inflict
his society upon her as little as 'possible.
My mere business friends I never take to
the house.
My income is not n large one. but it is
enough. It might possibly be larger if I
devoted more hours to work, but to this
my wife objects. To any reasonable
amount she will agree, but she argues the
unanswerable argument that if my time is
worth one cent an hour to work, it is
worth to her, after reasonable income is
secured, exactly ten times as much, and
well, what man in his senses tvould cavil
at the specie in which such overtime is
paid.
So my case stands! Such of
the forces which have kept me from
forming the “absent habit.”
A HOWLING RUSH OF DEATH.
Twenty or Thirty Persons Injured.
The List of Fatalities Likely to Be
Largely Increased When Districts
Now Cut Off From Communication
Are Heard From—The Storm Travel
ing in Three Divisions.
Minneapolis, Minn., .lune 38.—South;
western Minnesota and Eastern South
Dakota suffered death and destruction
last night by a series of windstorms. De
tails of the damage done to life and prop
erty, which have been corning in slowly,,
show that ten persons were killed and
twenty or thirty injured. )
Following is a list of the dead so far as
heard from to-night:
Mrs. Sam Roach, of Wessington, South
Dakota.
pharles Mietke, near Sleepy Eye, Minn.
Mr. Guldan, of Maligan, Minn.
Mrs. G. T. Hicks, of Pipestone, Minn.
Miss Jennie Lindstorm, of St. Paul, at
Darwin, Minn.
Mrs. Salders, of Litchfield, Minn.

kota. ,

kota.

path of the storms.
The storms traveled from southwest to
northwest in parallel lines, and there
were three of unusual severity. The
westermost arose in South Dakota, and
traversed the east end of the state, strik
ing Alpena, McFlette, St. Lawrence and
Aberdeen in its route. So far as is known,
this storm did no damage to life or limb,
but caused considerable damage to prop
erty and crops.
The central storm was was
first heard of at Pipestone, Minn., in the
southwest corner of the state, where it
struck about 6 o’clock p. in. Its record
there was ope killed, one injured and
seriously damaging property’in its course.
Its path was from 400 to 600 feet wide.
NARROW BUT TERRIFIC.
The storm passed over Tracy and Echo
and was next heard of at Renville, where
it was only forty rods wide’ and of cor
responding intensity of action. There
was another victim here, besides many
injured, and there was great
devestation of buildings and
property. Litchfield was the next
in line. Two persons were killed and
many injured. The nortbermost point in
the central part of the storm’s path ap
parently was Collegeville, in Stearns
county, where the damage was principally
to the.building of St. Johns University.
THE P ASTERN END.
The eastern end of the storm started ii>
at Windom about 7:30 o’clock, or an hour
and a half lator than the central storm.
No great damage was done at tills point,
but when the storm reached Sleepy Eye,
shortly before 8 o’clock, its intensity was
incalculable. At least one was killed and
a number injured.
The same storm next struck Glencoe,
where its work was death dealing. The
number of killed and injured there has
not been definitely ascertained yet, but
the indications are that the wind played I
as great havoc there as anywhere.
Minneapolis caught what was appar
ently the tall end of this blow. It swept
across the city, dipping down to the
ground, near Lake Harriet and next to
New Boston. Telegraph wires are down i
in many directions, and full particulars 1
are difficult to secure.
The Blind Guide in the Oapitol.
“Did you ever hear about the first guide at
the capltdl? He was stone blind. Don't be
lieve ft? Well. I don't blame you, for in his
day only a few people knew he was blind,
and even those he took through the big build
ing suspected that he could bob,” The
speakei was John B. McCarthy, the private
secretary of Senator White and a veteran
newspaper man, says the Washington Nows.
“The blind guide was old ‘Professor
Donaldson,' as we called him in those days.
He made his living for twenty years by show
ing visitors about the building, and followed
that calling until 1874. 1 used to wonder how
he knew when to turn hi the corridors, but
he told me one day that be not only knew the
distances from one point to another, but that
he wanted no better guide than the draughts
of air. They never failed to make his loch
tiorf known to him. Donaldson would go into
the Senate gallery with a party and point
out the senators, whom be would describe,
locating them at their seats. ‘"‘lt was all right
if they were on nand. and if they
weren't the visitors would generally
be too da'ed to know the
difierence. Another, strange thing about '
Donaldson was that he was an inveterate
gambler. He would make money In the day
time and stake it on p iker games at night.
He carried a small black Loy around with
him on those occasions, uud the duty of the i
pickaninny was to tell him what cards he '
had. Then he played, and played well, too.’ f 1
