ATLANTA'S 810 SHOW.
Successful Opening- of the Piedmont
Exposition Yesterday.
Atlanta, Qa. Oct 15. —The Piedmont
Exposition opened this morning with flying
colors. The crowd in attendance, while
cot large, was encouraging for a first day.
The attractiveness of the exhibits, which
are pronounced much superior to those
entered at any former exposition here, is
relied upon to swell the number of visitors
at once. The procession formed on
Marietta street, headed by the military
band from the barracks, and a battalion of
the United States Fourth artillery follow
ing, which marched a long array of local
companies, artillery, cavalry and infantry,
including the Foui tfa battalion Georgia
volunteers, commanded by Lieut. CoL W.
b. Calhoun. After the military
came a number of carriages, in
which were Mavor Glenn, Senator
Colquitt, and the orator of the occasion,
Hon. John Temple Graves. The carnages
of the president and directors of the exposi
tion brought up the rear. Several bands of
music cheered the procession on its long
march out Peachtree street to Piedmont
Park.
After the military had passed the grand
stand in review Mayor Glenn introduced
Senator Colquitt, who made a short address,
which was followed by one from John
Temple Graves in his happiest strain, which
was no less enthusiastically received than
that delivered by him on the occasion of
the Grady memorial.
DECLARED OPEN.
'When the orator had oonoluded. Mayor
Glenn touched an electric button, whioh in
stantly started all the engines in Machinery
hall, and, amid booming of cannon, de
clared the exposition open.
The Wild West show gave a performance
!a the afternoon, which was an improve
ment on those of the same affair last year.
The races begin to-morrow, and some good
ones are promised.
CHARGED WITH EMBEZZLEMENT.
H. C. Okenbaugher to be Taken Back
to Ohio From Macon.
Macon, Ga., Oct. 15.—Sheriff Rattleman
of Columbus, 0., arrived here to-day after
H. C. Okenbaugher, who is wanted in Col
umbus for embezzlement, and who bad pre
viously been arrested by Chief of Police
Kenan on telegrams from the authorities
•t Columbus. Okenbaugher is charged with
having sold goods belonging to a firm for
whom he worked in Columbus to the
amount of $250, and appropriated the
proceeds. In defense he says
that he sold the goods to
secure salary due him, which he could not
obtain any other wav. Okenbaugher, who
is a young man of pleasant address, oatne
here two or three months ago, and secured
employment with one of the leading whole
sale bouses of the city. He boarded in a
fashionable boarding bouse, and bad made
a highly favorable impression. His new
employers are loth to give him np, and are
confident that he is innocent of any inten
tion to defraud. Sheriff Rattleman will,
however, esoort the young man back to
Columbus.

The Ex-Governor Announces That He
is In the Race.
Columbus, Ga., Oct, 15.—Judge James
M. Smith, ex-governor of Georgia, has
made it known that he will be a candidate
for the Senate. Political circles were stirred
np not a little when they heard of his inten
tions. Judge Smith has been in feeble
health for quite a while, and has been keep
iug rather quiet on political matters. While

been suffering since with nervous prostra
tion more than anything else. Judge Smih

treasury plau, and it is thought that he will
capture the alliance vote, together with
friends all over the state. He has a record

followers are proud of. His friends in
Muscogee are now actively at work in his
behalf. His formal announcement will be
published in a few days.

COULD NOT FORSAKE HIS JULIE.
Anthony J. Btnleln Remarries the Wo
, man He Divorced.
From the Sew York Press.
The truth of that venerable adage that
true love never runs smoothly for any
length of time has again been amply attested
In the case of Anthony J. Rinlem of Brook
lyn and Julie E. Stinson of this city. An
thony met Julie a year ago and was smitten
with her charms. He wooed her, and af.er
a brief but pleasant courtship the couple
were uni ed in Camden, N. J.. but the
marriage was kept a profound secret be
cause tue bride wau a Proteetaat and the
groom a most devout Catholic.
Anthony had been w arned by his parents
that if he ever married he must choose a girl
who was of his religion or they would dis
own him. The son took the warning deeply
to heart for a time, but as soon as he iner
Julie it fled. But how he was going to keep
the matter a secret puzzled not only him
self but his wife as well. The couple finally
cooclud and that there was oiny one way out
of the difficulty and that was to live apart,
the husband ineauwnile to try to prevail
upon the elder Kiutela to give his consent
to the marriage to a Protestant.
When approached upon the tender sub
ject last March, young Mr. Rint lu’s father,
who lives at No, 157 Putnam avenue,
Brooklyn, was emphatic in his refusal to
consent to the marriage. Anthony was in
a quandary, and more so wnen he purcnasei
a Brooklyn paper the next morning and
read the announcement of his marriage to
Julie E. Stinson, at Camden, N. J. Mr.
Riutelu, the elder, also read the notice of
the marriage, and the second act of the
social drama began right there.
As the story goes Anthony was ordered
to remain away from his wife, whether -he
instituted divorce proceedings or not. He
did as he was bid, and ere long was sued by
his pretty wife for divorce. Not to be out
done Anthony brought a countersuit,
charging hi* spouse with some very serious
things. Hi said she wai a bigamist, and
she returned the compliment. Then he
brought nearly twenty witnesses to swear
to his wife’s indiscretion.
Before the suit was concluded the de
fendant gave it up and Anthony got an
absolute divorce. After the divorce had been
granted Anthony met Julie frequently, and
the couple went out riding and to dinner
parties os if nothing had happened. He
told his relatives and friends that be still
loved his divorced wife, and that the whole
trouble had been brought about by his
father.
An uncle of Julie’s from Chicago here
stepped in upon the scene and tried to have
the divorce set aside, but Antuoriy’s father
said that it shouldn’t be done. Both parties
were willing, and unbeknown to their
parents went to Camden, N. J., last night,
and were remarried by Rev. W. H. Burrlll,
the sains minister* who performed the cere
mony before.
The couple were married In New Jersey
to avoid any legal complications, and it is
thought will apply for an annulment of the
divorce. Immediately after their second
marriage the happy pair started for Chica
go, where Anthony has been promised a
lucrative position. His father is greatly
shocked at bis son’s conduct.
IN 182 YBARB
Tha World Will Be Entirely Peopled—
Startling Calculations.
From the Pall Mall Gazette.
At the meeting yes.erday there was a
joint assembly of the geographical and
economic sections, to consider the subject
of the lands of the globe still available for
European settlement. The audience con
sisted of a proportion of quite seven-eighths
of ladies. Sir Lambrt Playfair dwelt
upon the importance of the subject, espe
cially after the official inquiry recently
held in London upon the quostion of coloni
zation, which showed that many old fields
of emigration were being closed to
European emigrants. E. G. Raven
stein produced an elaborate set of sta
tistics to show that the world will, in the
ordinary oourse of things, be fully inhabited
in about 182 years, which estimate consid
erably extends tho period at which some
learned men believe humanity will be
crowded out. Having previously swept
aw ay the arctic and antarctic regions as
not being essential for bis argument, he
parceled the remainder out of the earth
into: Cultivable land, 23,469,000 square
miles; steppe, scrub, poor grass, etc.,
13,901,000 square miles; barren deserts,
4,180,000 square miles— a total of 46,350,000
square miles. Tho jiopulition living on this
he reckons at a little over 4,467,000,000,
divided thus: Europe, 360,200,000; Asia,
Africa, 127,000,000 (a much
1 >wer estimate than most people compute;
Australia, 4,730,000; North America,
89,250,000; South America, 36,500,000.
Mr. Raveustein showed how, supposing
the standard of life among the various peo
ples to remain the iann, supposing the pop
ulation increases at the rato of 8 per cent,
in every decade, and supposing there are no
extraordinary improvements in agriculture,
the population of the world in the year
2072 will be 5,994,000,000. In speaking of
the populations that these are is would bear
(mentioning 2j7 individuals to the square
mile as a fair average), be suggested that
the productiveness of the earth might be
better utilized when people understood
economy, la expressing a genoral opinion
that tropical countries are not fit for
Europeans, he granted exceptions to
the rule, as, for example, In
certain now well-known highlands
of Africa. One of the theories propounded
is that there is a gradual migration of peo -
pie southward, so that in time a race of
European origin may arise who will be ac-
climated to (he tropics. On the whole Mr.
Ravenstein does not despair that the world
will be over populated, beciuse as new de
velopments occur new adaptations will bo
found to meet them. The Rev. John Mack
enzie expressed the opinion that the Zan
zebesi will all, in course of time, be suited
for European residents. J. W. Wells,
who has traveled 3,000 miles in Argentine
and Brazil, thought that there is every
prospect of a speedy construction of a vast
system of rail and fluvial communication
all over the country. The sum total
of the discussion so far was an as
surance that there are plenty of places In the
world fit for population; that there is a de
mand for population all over the world,
and that we need not particularly worry
ourselves as to whether the globe will tie
over-populated in generations to come. John
Coles of the Geologioal society and travel
editor of the Field, later added that he had
had yellow fever in Brazil, and seen a fever
in tbe high plateaux of British Columbia
that was very like it. He had known
malarial fever produced by irrigation in
new countries, and he warned his hearers
that many of the lands in the far west of
North America which were represented as
available for emigrants, were made hope
lessly unavailable by tho extortionate de
mands of speculative land sharks.
Voted in a Democratic Primary.
Atlanta, Ga., Oct, 15.—The attention
of the democratic county- executive
committee was this morning called
to the fact that Gen. Lewis, Atlanta’s
republican postmaster, voted yesterday in
the democratic primary. The general says
the election managers ought not to have
allowed him to do it.
South Florida Association.
Plant City, Fla., Oct. 15.—The South
Florida Baptist Association met near this
place with the Turkey Creek Baptist
church last Thursday and ran through
Sunday. About 1,0 )0 people are estimated
to have been present on Sunday. The Rev.
Paul Willis preached tbe missionary ser
mon.

Supreme Court Widows.
From the New York Sun.
Washington, Oct. 14.—The supreme
court met on Monday, and the ladies of
this important branch of Washington
society opened the social season. They
have their houses in order, and th 9 quiet
little dinners so noted in our highest judi
cial circles, will commence at once. The
supreme court circle is by far the most in
dependent and most exclusive of all the
divisions of Washington society. Here
women are sticklers as to the rank of th -ir
husbands, and it is a question in the minds
of the justices as to whether socially
they ought not to stand higher
than the senators and representatives,
and even the President of the United states.
They are appointed for life, and the worry
of a possible lost job never brings dyspepsia
to tneir “fair round bellies with good capon
lined.” Nothing but an impeachment can
cut a justice of the supreme court out of
his salary, and some of these old judge,
have received fortunes out of Uncle .Sam’s
pockets. Justice Miller received more than
$259,000 before he died. Justice Field has
done almost equally as well, and Bradley
and Harlan have each received several
times enough to buy a 1,000-acre farm. la it
any wonder that these men grow fat ? Ii
it any- wonder that their wives are rather
inde;<endent in the other social elements 1
Is it any wonder that their faces shine with
good living, that their cheeks bloom with
contentment, and that they sleep well o’
nights ? They have positions of assured
resoectablity, and whether it rains or shines,
whether wo have tariff or free trade,
whether oongresses come or cuigresses go,
they get their SIO,OOO a year, their $833 a
m mtu, or their $27 a day, year in and year
out. I could ge: fat on it too. Could not

THE CHIEF JUSTICE’S FAMILY.
Most of the judges are rich in their own
right. Judge Bradley made a fortune be
fore he was appointed to the bench. Gray
inherited a pile of dollars. Chief Justice
Fuller has ulways been a money making
lawyer. He has invested his earnings, an 1
he has a good income in addition to bis
$10,500. Tne most of his girls have finished
their education, and he is amply able to
keep up his rather expensive family. He
is as rich in girls as he is in money; and
he has eight, several of whom have been
in Germany at school during the
past year. Allot his daughters are bright.
They dress well, and Mildred, who gradu
ated at Wells College about two years
ago, was one of the striking belies of the
last social season. She is a tall, handsomo
girl, with a bright, interesting faoe, and is
the literary member of the Fuller family.
She wrote a play called “Vanity Fair"
while she was at school, and she was
noted as an essayist. She made
her first entrance into society last
season, and she assisted her mother to
receive at New Years. The Fuller family
will continue to five In the Van Wyck man
si n on Massachuse is avenue, though I
understand that t ie justice has bought a
lot and is building a house. There is no
more comfortable home in the capital than
that of the Fullers, and there is none more
homelike. The chief justice is a jolly, good
fellow in his own home. He is a man of
fine education, and has one of the best
libraries at the capital.
JUSTICE LAMAR.
I saw Justice Lamar yesterday. He does
not look at all well. His shoulders are
stooped, his brown mane of hair, which
rests upon his coat collar, is tinged with
gray, and his sallow face appears to be full
of bile. He had tbe grip 1 st winter, and
his system was hardly able to stand the
drain. I have beard it said that he has the
stomach of an anaconda, but I doubt it.
His father was dyspeptic, aud he committed
suicide while delirious from one of his fits
of dyspepsia, and Lamar himself has beon
more or less ailing for years. He has a very
happy home life, and his second honey
moon tins been quite as happy as his first
one. You all remember the romance of his
second marriage. He knew his present
wife whan she was a girl and he was a boy
inhistjens. Tho two fell in love with one
another, but Miss Dean was captured by a
successful business mail named Holt. Holt
was a railroad king of the south and his
home was a noted one. He died some years
ago. Lamar also married and his wife died.
Now the two come together again and their
union is a happy one, Mrs. Lamar is a
prettv woman, with beautiful silvery wuite
hair; she has an erect and graceful carriage;
she is a good talker and is popular in Wash
ington society. Lamar’s first wife was also
a finely educated woman. She was a cousin
of Gen. Longstreet.
M ÜB. FIELD.
One of the finest looking women o f the
supreme court is Mi s. Stephen J. Field.
She is large, handsome and well preserved.
She is a good talker and the Field bouse
has b.en for years one of the greatest so
cial centers of Washington. Mrs. Field has
been spending the past season in Europe in
company with her niece. Miss Alice Con
dict Smith. During the tour she passed
through Stratford-on-Avon and took a look
at Shakespeare’s birthplace. Mrs. Field is a
Shakespeare student, and she is the founder
and chi if patroness of a club of Shakos
peare women students wbicn meets here
during the winter. Judge Field’s friends
like to think that he is a living presentation
of Shakespeare. His big bald head and full
high forehead look like one of Snakespeare’s
busts and his poiuted beard carries out the
illusion.
It is also said that Tom Reed looks like
Shakespeare, but Reed’s face is more like
that of the man in tbe moon thau it is like
that of Judge Field’s, so that it is hard to
reconcile the two resemblances. It seems to
me that Justice Field looks older since the
appointment of Chief Justice Fuller. Field
had the right to expect the chief j sticeship.
He was one of the leading democrats of the
country, had already distinguished himself
on the bench, and it would have been the
most natural thing in the world for Cleve
land to lift him up a step and appoint
another inau to take his place. The matter
was passed over at the time, but Judge
Field did not attend President Cleveland’s
judiciary dinner, which was given to tbe
supreme judges, the non-acceptance of tha
invitation to which must have been consid-
ere lan affront by President Cleveland. I
understand that the relations between Mrs.
Field and Mrs. Fuller, wluie friendly, are
not cordial, and I doubt not tbe whole
originates in the trouble over Fuller's ap
pointment.
JUSTICE FIELD’S CHOLERA EXPERIENCE.
There is no man on the bench who has a
wider general knowledge than Justice Field.
He has traveled everywhere and he has road
everything. He is a man of tho broadest
of ideas, and he could write an interesting
book on a dozen d.fferent subjects. He
comes of the noted Field family, one of
whom Cyrus W. Field, laid the Atlantic
cable, another, David Dudley Field, is one
of tbe most noted lawyers New York has
ever had, and a third, the Rev. Henry M.
Field, is eminent as a preacher, a traveler,
and a litterateur. Oue of Jus ice Field’s sis
ters married a missionary and when he was
13 years of age he went to Smyrna, and
there acquired a knowledge of the Oi lental
languages. He i.nd some terrible experi
ences while there, and the cholera which is
now so terribly raging lu Japan aud China,
aud may come to 1 ne United States calls at
tention to one of them. Yeung Stephen Fund
acted us a nurse in attending a number of
cholera patients, and he was also there at
the tmeof the plague. These terrible dis
ease* ar<* almost beyond human help or
knowledge. Ninety per oent. of those who
lave the piaguedie,and when a man is taken
every one flic* irons him. It is death to be
touched by a roan witu the plague, aud tha
sa ie is almost true of the cholera. Justice
Fieid attended a dinner in Smyrna just at
abont tne time the plague broke out. It
was a brilliant affair, and the guests were
at the table. A t ast was about to be
drunk, and the guests bad risen and stood
with their filled gias--.es in their hands. As
they thus stood one of the waiters who was
serving the guests fell upon the tat le dead.
There was a cry, “The plague,” and in a
moment every one ha i dropped his glass
and rushed from the house. The place was
deserted by all, servants and owner. It was
not entered again until a year later, when
they found the decayed remnants of the
feast with the grinning skeleton of the
servant lying in his cl Abes as he had fallen
while the feast was in progress.
MRS. HORACE ORAY.
Mrs. Gray will probably entertain consid
erably during the coming season. She has
one of the handsomest h uses at the capital.
It is on the corner of Sixteenth aid I
streets, and is within two blocks of the
white house. Mrs. Gray is the daughter
of the late Justice Stau.ey Matthews, and
was married to the bac el >r judge about a
year and a half ago. She is a very accom
plished woman, a id is much m ire popular
in Washington than her husband. Justice
Gray is so dignified at times that some
people think he is inclined to be snobbish.
He comes of one of tb i old families of Mas
sachusetts, and t the G* ay family was
foundei by this man's grandfather, who
was a merchant of Lynn. He began life as
an apprentice, but he died the richest man
in New England, and he had at one
time sixty square-rigged ships on the
ocean. After he had made his pile he
affected politics, and became lieutenant
governor of Massachusetts. He married,
and Justice Gray’s grandmother was noted
for her domestic virtues, and Gray cer
tainly;gets none of his snobbishness from
her. sne attended to her own household
affairs herself, and though her husband was
the richest man in Massachusetts, she gave
the most of her time to the poor. Gray's
father was, I think, in t: ade, but one of his
uncles was John Quince, Adains’s private
secretary while he wal our minister to
Russia, and he was noted for his artistic
tastes. He collected 3,000 rare engravings
and gave them to Harvard College,
and he left $25,000 to found a museum
and to huy books for the students
there. Justice Gray has also a fine library
but he keeps it to himself. A friend of mine
wanted to look at it the other day in order
to mention it in an article sae was writing
on Wasniugton libraries, but the pompous
justice reDiied “That his library was not
collected for exhibition,” and the result was
that the young lady did not sec it. Never
theless Justice Gray’s nature seems to have
its ligntsr side. Ho is fond of hunting, and
when he accompanied tne President down
the Potomao in Mr. Bateman’s yacht he
wore an English hunting costume with
knee breeches to match. He is a portly
fellow, and I doubt not he looked well.
MRS. BRADLET.
Judge Bradley and his wife have been
spending the summer at Deer Park, but
they are now back in their comfortable
house on I street, not far from the capitol.
There is no finer couple in Washington
than Judge Bradley and his|wife. The jus
tice is well along m the seventies, but his
heart is no older than that of a young man
of 30. He enjoy3 a g iod novel, reads Shakes
peare, and works out mathematical prob
lems for fun. His wife, though youugor
than he is, is also advanced ii years. She
is a bright, active, gray-haired little
woman, full of vigor. She is accomplished
and well bred. She is the daughter of Chief
Justice Hornblower of New Jersey, and the
judge married her whou he was a lawyer
at tne bar. Tho Bradleys are supposed to
be quite rich. The judge started life as a
poor ooy, and worked in the summer to get
the money to go to school in the winter. He
made himself an eminent lawyer before ho
got to tho bench, and has received many a
big fee.
JUSTICE HARLAN’S WASHINGTON HOME.
One of the finest houses in Washington,
as far as locatio 1 is concerned, is that of
Justice Harlan, at the held of Fourteenth
street. Washington city, you know, lies in
a sort of a basin, surrounded by high hills.
On one of these hills this house is situated,
aud it has a commanding view of the whole
of the city, miles of the Potomac and the
Virginia hills. It is very near Calumet
place, where Mrs. Logan fives, and just
across the way from the big stone csstle of
Asphalt Barber, which Chief Justice Fuller
occupied when he first came to Washing
ton. Justice Harlan is fully six feet two
inches high. He has a head of a Jovian
cast, and his complexion is as fair as that of
a baby. Mrs. Harian is also tall and fine
looking, and the two form one of the dis
tinguished couples of our white house recep
tions.
J ..slice Blatchford is just the reverse of
Judge Harlan. He is small and flat-cheste 1.
His face is more like that of an English
barrister than an American justice, and he
doss not conform to a single one of the
items mentioned in Shakespeare’s descrip
tion of the justioe. Both ho and his wife,
however, are important features of the
supreme circle. They are good talkers, and
are notably popular.
Justice Brewer and his wife live I at the
Arno hotel during the last session, and I
have not learned that they have fixed upon
their residence for this year as yet. Justice
Brewer is a cousin of Justice Field. He is
probably the youngest man on tbe supreme
bench. He is a man of culture, and both
himself and wife aro very popular here.
SUPREME COURT WIDOWS.
There are several supreme co irt widows
in Washington. Mrs. Wait < has lei a very
quiet life hero since the death of her hus
band. His estate was not large, and in this
day of giving civil pensions Mrs. Waite had
quite as much right to receive oue as the
widows of our Presidents and those of
noted generals. She presided for years
here over the Waiie mansion, and she was
one of the most popular women of Wash
ington society. She was noted for her
charities, and she is still one of the leading
social figures of the supreme court circle.
I understand that Mrs. Stauley Matthews
intends to buy a hf>use and settle down
m Washington. She is still a compara
tively young woman, and is fond of Wash

DECLINE OF i BE BLONDES.
An Englishman Declares Wornout
Livers Are Producing brunettes.
Frank Hudson, tho English author, has
this t > say upon the question as to whether
blondes are becoming extinct: “Everybody
knows that the children playing round the
cradle of our race were all fair. The
ancient Hebrews—even they—were almost
to a man fair-haired, The old Greeks and
Romans, sprung from thsgods, were sunny
haired, as were also the old Venetians, as
Rusk in tells us. Why have all these peo
ple changed? Why have we in these islands
changed? I’ll tell you, sir—its ail the
fiver. That’s what’s the matter. I once
asked a physician why it was that dark
haired people had such weak livers, while
fair people never knew whether or not they
had a liver. His answer was: *1 caonot
tell you why, but you are right—dark
haired people must be always careful of
what they eat.’ There is the whole thing
in a nut shell. Heaven sent us golden
haired women iu the olden times ,\ hen we
| were g'>od, and the devil senna us cooks
| in modern times, when we are bad. Our
: grandfathers’ livers aro ruined, and we
inherit their bile, which turns our hair
| black.’’

A TALK TO THB FARMERS.
Senator Brown Preparing for One at
the Macon Fair.
In tha Morning News’ Atlanta dispatch
yesterday it was stated that Senator Brown
was preparing a speech to be de.ivered to
the farmers at the Macon fair. In the dis
patch it was stated that there was an inti
mation that he w uld advise the farmers to
elect someone as senator who is in full
accord with their policy. A lengthy inter
view with Senator Brown iu yesterday’s
Constitution gives no such intimation. The
part of the interview that bears upon that
subject is as follows: “Will you refer to
any of the political issues now under dis
cussion in the state?”
“Not at length, though I have no doubt
that in the preparation of my speech sev
eral things will suggest themselves to me in
connection with the farmsrs’ movement,
and the discussion which it has created. I
shall not go into de ails; indeed, it is prob
able that 1 will not refer at all iu a spe
cific but only in a general way. to
the farmers’ movement in organizing for
the redress of their wrongs. Tha farm -r has
been discriminated against—this do one can
deny. They have wrongs that ought to be
righted aud the belt way for them to right
them is by co-operative efforts. As long
as they work within the lines of the Dem >■
cratic party in their efforts to seek relief,
they ought to be helped by the democracy
of the state.
“I will express my opinion on this sub
ject, and will take the position that the
farmers, in growing strong enongh to con
trol public matters, should move with wis
dom, justice and moderation in shaping
legislation, and should be guided by a sense
of (fairness and equity to other classes.
That they will be. X hive no doubt, and I
am frank to say that I do not snare in the
opinion that the state has anything to fear
in the farmers controlling both branches of
its legislature by so strong a majority.”
“It has been rumored, senator, that as
your health has grown much better, that
your name would probably be used for the
Senate again.”
“It will not be,” replied the senator, "I
am through with punlic service and will
sDend the rest of ray fife apart from official
care. Indeed, I doubted for awhile about
accepting Mr. Northen’s invitation 1 1 speak
in Mac in for fear that mv motive might b i
misconstrued. No, I will not be a candi
date for re-election.”
Senator Brown, while by no means vig
orous, is very much improved iu health,
and is well enough to drive to his business
office occasionally.
He looks very much as of old, except that
his long, flo wing waits beard has been cut
to a length of about four inches, making
him look very much younger.
