Another Tribute to Turner.
Amos J. Cummings, the Congressman
journalist, in a recent syndicate letter
on “Democratic Wheel Horses in Con
gress,” pays this high and deserved
tribute to one of Georgia’s veteran rep
resentatives :
“Henry G. Turner, of Quitman, has
taken a very active part in all the hear
ings before the committee of ways and
means, and, like Speaker Crisp, was at
one time chairman of the committee on
elections. Indefatigable in his commit
tee work, he is a power on the floor of
the house. His speeches, though few,
are well seasoned and carry great weight.
There is nothing dramatic about him.
He speaks calmly and dispassionately,
confining himself so the point at issue,
and elucidating the facts very clearly
and convincingly. Extremely courteous
in bearing and language he commands
both the attention and the consideration
of all who hear him. He is one of the
steadiest and strongest of the wheel
horses in the house. The nation, let
alone his state, could illy afford to lose
That you mus’nt think the girl with J him.”
False Teeth Wanted.
An aged negro woman, whose face
bore the wrinkles of almost a century,
hobbled up to Hospital Steward Cragg*8
desk at Hotel Brunswick yesterday and,
in feeble tones, said: “Boss Doctor, I
wants a set ’o false teeth, I is old, and I
can’t chaw dem commissery grub.” The
faithful hospital steward was taken
aback. He had been petitioned in the
name of Uncle Sam, for every other con
ceivable thing—but this requisition was
an ultimatum of audacity. Courtesy,
however demanded a repression of the
exasperation which Dr. Cragg felt. He
immediately referred the matter to Sur
geon Murry, but Dr. Murray referred it
back with power to act. Dr. Cragg an
nounces that he will receive sealed bids
during his office hours from any person
who has a surplus set of false teeth, and
is determined to furnish the old woman
with the requisites for enjoying the com
missary table d’hote.—Brunswick Times-

Rammed In Mid-Ocean.
A private letter received in San Fran
cisco from one of the officers of the
cruiser San Francisco relates an exciting
incident of the recent voyage of the
cruker from New York to Key West,
Fla. When about 340 miles from Key
West a wreck was sighted, The man 1
of-war made for it, and found it to be
the schooner Drisko, of Gosport, Me.,
and from her log it was learned that she
was bound from Galveston to Kingston,
Jamaica. The schooner, which was
loaded with lumber, was caught in a
hurricane and was swept fore and aft.
Captain Watson of the San "Francisco
decided to tow the wreck to Key West,
but at midnight the hawsers parted.
The cru’ser, however, remained by the
schooner until the next morning, when
Captain Watson deemed it advisable to
blow up the wreck with dynamite. Two
attempts were made, but without success,
when Captain Watson gave orders to
ram the wreck. The San Francisco was
thereupon sent ahead at a sj>eed of about
twenty knots, and the wreck was cut in
two. The lumber poured out of the two
halves and she gradually sauk beneath
the waves.

Horrible Murder.

The murder of W. J. Duncan at Lake

most fiendish crimes ever committed in
Florida. Three negroes went to the

whom had Duncan’s pistol in his pos
session and has confessed the crime.
