TEDDY IN PARIS.
Roosevelt seems to be taking the
old country by storm. Several'
days ugo, during his stay in Paris, >
one of the leading papers paid him
tin- following compliment, declar
ing that Mr. Roosevelt’s tour of
Europe is unparalleled in history:
“No Democratic eh ief of state,”,
snvs the paper, ‘‘over before en
joyed such popularity. We are ac- ;
enstomed to formal visits of kings,
and presidents, hut Roosevelt, is
no longer president. It is the man,
therefore, not tin office, which is;
being honored; it is his vigor, his*
personality, ins character, ideas,
and temperament which appeal to
European opinion.'' Alter re
viewing Ins car*-cr the Temps con- j
eludes:
“Few are more worthy of the es
teem of the Democracy, for lie
represents at the same time liber
ty and authority—those two anti- j
thesis which Republicans, con-,
scions of their duly and solicitous !
ol the future, are everywhere try
ing to harness together.”
All of the newspapers are par
ticularly warm in their words of
welcome and tin* sent intent of Par
isians gem rally is shown in the !
abundant display of American j
tings and hunting on private res-!
ldences, shops and public build-!
nigs.

SAMUEL i: CLEMENS
HAS PASSED AWAY.
Redding, <‘onn .April 22—News
d the (h ath of Samuel L. Clem
en*, ‘‘Mark Twain,” at Storinfield
did not reach the countryside un
til the morning papers arrived,
expressions ol grief were then
iieard on ail sides, {several neigh
it's who st' od close to him in life
ver,- permitted to view the body
a-' it lay iu bed.
Mr Clemens did much of his
work in l»*d and in death he still
inerhu part us the surroundings
I In- active life. Ranged about
1 1 iin were liis hooks. Beside him
was his tabouret set with a tobac
•n jar, a collection of pipes, a
land of cigars and matches in
abundance. Above his head was
a reading lamp. In the old davs
lie had heartily cursed all cham
bermaids because of their hostile
I ideas of tidiness.
“They always put the pillow on
the opposite of the bed from the
tinnier,” lie wrote, “so that
while you read and smoke before
-deeping, us is the ancient and
, honorable custom of bachelors,you
have to hold your book aloft in an
uncomfortable position to keep
'the light, from dazzling your eyes,
If they cannot get the light in an
inconvenient position any other
way, they move the bed. They al
vvav- put the match box in some
other place. They hunt up a new
place for it every day and put up
a bottle nr other perishable glass
tlimg where the box stood before.
I’ll is is to cause'.you to break that
glass thing. They always save up
ill the old scraps of printed rub
■ bisli you hhvn thrown on the floor
mil stand them up carefully on
In' table and start the fire with
s our valuable manuscripts.”
In later years Mark Twain had
on spared all such small discom
forts. He lay today among all the
Hixuries of disorder that he loved.
Death, that stamps some faces
with indignity, lias left nothing
j but nobility on his. There wero
no lines of pain, no hint of sad
ness— nothing hut serene benigni
ty.
WANTS CANDLER’S MONEY.
Columbus, Ga., April 24. —
Will it help Columbus for Asa G.
Candler to invest some money
here'.’ The Columbus board of
trade thinks so. The board inern-
I" rs so expressed themselves free
y and frankly, when at their
monthly meeting they reached
what might be termed the-good-of
t he-order clause.
The theme under discussion
was a new liot>T for Columbus. A
mot ton had been made that a
committee be appointed to inves
tigate the matter of hotel facili*
fe s in the city and report back to
'h- board, sii tlmt the body could
r-u a prospectus and promote a
log new commercial hotel for the
town, if conditions warranted it.
Ih it it was that somebody
tonic tin* remark, incidentally,
t out if Asa G. Candler, of At
tnta, could be induced to take
'tuck in the new hotel it would
!••■ a tine thing for th» enterprise.
"Or invest in anything else
here," added another member.
• It would stir up ami stimulate
>ur h -ill investors. Everything
that Mr. Candler touches seems
1 turn t gold. It he would make
one or two good investments here
it would have a fine effect."’
The board didn’t appoint a
oommilt- eto interview Mr. Can
dler on i he subject, but they pro
ceeded to pav the business sagac
ity of the Coca-Cola king some
pretty lr.gli compliment's, and it
Mr. Candler's ears chanced to be
burning at that particular mo
ment. why,“there was a reason,’’

PARALYZED BY LIGHTNING.
Dalton, Ga., April 23. —Mr. A.
Manniug, formerly of Dalton, hut
now of Chattanooga, is in danger
of dying as a result from a shock
from light mug he having suffered
a severe shock in an electrical
storm here some time ago.
It was about a year ago that a
holt of lightning struck a lurge
oak tree in front of the residence
■of Mr. Manning here. He was
sitting on the front porch within
a few* feet of the tree when it was
struck, the shock being so sev re
that for a time he was paralyzed
from the effects of it, but this
feeling soon passed awray. Some
time afterwards he began losing
i his sight in one eye, and after an
1 examination, physicians believed
that it came from a small blood
vessel of the brain ruptured at
the time he was shocked. Since
time htat he has been growing
worse, and uow partial paralysis
has set in.
His son. living in Dalton, has
been summoned to his bedside m
I Chattanooga, as lus condition i«
now considered extremely preca
rious. I
