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 Berner was his only competitor, and now that he has withdrawn the chances aro that Mr.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. BEAR ADMIRAL TEMPLE DEAD. Apoplexy Carries Him Off Suddenly at His Home at Washington. Washington, June 28.—Rear Admiral, William Greenville Temple, U. S.

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.” ' SLAVONIANS TO EMIGRATE. Canada Offers Them Inducements to Goto Manitoba. West Leisenring, Pa., June 28.—The colonization movement among tho Slavon ians in the coke region is assuming shape. Several agents of the Canadian govern ment yesterday distributed many circu lars in the Slavonic language setting forth the groat benefits to be derived by removing to Manitoba. A majority of the foreigners take kindly to the suggestion. If the colonial government of British America will guarantee food for tempo rary support hundreds of vic tims of the eviction laws will at once take advantage of the chance to leave the country. -Nineteen families are encamped in Uniontown park. Several hundred strikers, with their families, oc cupy the school houses and grounds near Mount Pleasant and Standard. Over 1,000 evicted people are sleeping in the fence corners hightlv in Fayette county, and are eager enough foremigration. If arrangements can be perfected they will gladly leave for Canada, where it is said the government will give 200 acres of laqd to each settler. 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. WRECK ON THE READING. An Express Runs Down a Coal Train and Three Men Killed. Reading, Pa., June 28.—Three persons wore killed and many more se riously injured shortly before noon on the Pennsylvania railroad to day.

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 . , Death’s Icy Hand.

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. The Steeplechase selling stakes was taken by Ingot. Summaries follow: First Race—For 3-year-olds, sweepstakes, SI,OOO added: six furlongs. Kentlgerna, 110, Doggett. Ktol, won. with Factotum second and Treylyan third. Time 1:12 2 5.

He suffered in tense agony, became unconscious about midnight and never rallied. The famous racehorse Raceland was shot this morning. He was suffering from spinal meningitis and there were no hopes of his recovery. - AT CHICAGO. Chicago, June 28.—The Kenwood stakes for 2-year-old colts was the feature of the Washington Park programme to-day. Handsome and Baldwin’s Clara D. colt, which was named Key Del Ceredoz be fore the race, were equal favorites at 7 to 5. It was won by Bellicose at 20 to lin a fierce drive with Handsome. Laureate, a 40 to 1 shot was third. Bellicose won by a head in the very fast time for the track of 1:01%. Linda, the extreme outsider in the second race, won by a half length from Despot.

Time l:14!4' 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 on the Kansas City, Memphis and Bir mingham railroad, two miles this side of Horse Creek, with several cars, left the track and plunged down an embankment. Jack Hate, white, the fireman was caught under the engine and crushed to death. Everybody feels better from Brown’s Iron Bitters. 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. Miss Johnson, of Larimore, North Da kota. , Henry Rhody, of Larimore, North Da kota. Miss Nina Swift, near Aberdeen. Baby Walshesky, of Glencoe, Minn. 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 A Georgia Legislative Team. From the Dawson (Ga.) News (Dem.). Randolph's legislative team will attract at tention.
