GEN. CLAY'S HOUSE AND BRIDE.

GItIm Are Faltes— A Gllmiise of Her.
After telling about his marriage to
Dora Richardson, Gen. Cassius M. Clay
took me through his vast house. He was
talking all the, time, not in from a rambling
way, as on© would expect a man
of his advanced age, but he told in a
most entertaining manner about how he
had built the house at a cost of nearly
one hundred thousand dollars, and how'
lie had constructed it so that It was more
of a fort than a residence. Here is the
way he told of the house and its valuable
contents:
“This house is the best built residence
in America. Its foundation is on the
rock. The brick were all selected

motion of Chancellor to L'iricht pros¬
ecute LieUUneeiut, Siuger and
and the other Socialist deputies who re¬
fused to respond to the President’s cal!
for cheers for the Kaiser last Thursday.
The Socialist deputies were closely i u
conference sometime before the begin¬
ning of the sitting and the clauses of
Prince Hohenlohe's communication to
President Levetaow were separately con¬
sidered. 1’resident Von Levetzow open¬
ed the sitting toy reading the resolutions
of the ballot for secretaries and after¬
wards read the petition* of the public
prosecutor for the prosecution of the
offending deputies. President

gested that the petition he handed over
to the business co-mnifftee of the Reich

posal was carried.

'addressed the chamber. The chancellor
spoke in a low voice, his words being

ALABAMA POPULISTS.

date the Democrat*.
Montgomery, Ala., Dee. 8.—The PopuHst
members of the General Assembly, in a
very quiet caucus last night, passed a reso-
iutlon to the effect that they would act
Inside, of the law until the present session
of the Assembly doses and If a fair elec-
tion law was enacted, they would abide the
result of the contest. In the event of BaJC-
a , re page such laws or of the passage of
any “oppressive laws" another Scale con¬
vention of the party is to he called to adopt
some line of action.
There are bills now pending for the
amendment of the Australian ballot syB-
tern which was first tried last summer, end
also for a contest law. Whether these meas¬
ures wtffl pass or be satisfactory to the
Populists If passed, remains to be seen.
The resolution Is considered a mere attempt -
to Intimidate the Democratic majority to
Incorporate into these bids such ideas as the
Populists choose to offer. This Is not likely
to be done. Tile Implied Mu-eat of the Popu¬
lists not to act within the law. after the
adjournment of the Assembly, If they are
not pleased, only causes more smiles, tike

auguratlon.
Kell) today went through with the form
of giving a certificate of election to W.
S.' Reese, Sr., as United States Senator.
Reese was the nominee of the oan-cua- of
Populists in the Assembly and ’•ecelved
44 votes on the Joint ballot. This Is.hoped
by the Pppuldsts to be the fbundatlon of
a contest before the United States Senate
fo’r Senator■ Morgan’s seat, hot Inasmuch
as there has never been but the one As¬
