Fla.. April 14.—Gov ernor Broward will tomorrow send a special message to the Legislature on the subject of Stale life insurance which he strongly advocates. He will treat the matter exhaustively to demonstrate that the enterprise would be profitable to the people by showing that foreign insurance companies have returned In losses paid less than five millions and have received upwards of thirteen million dollars Ip. premiums dur ing the past thirteen years, and that the South alone pays Northern companies fifty million dollars per annum. It will be suggested that the manage ment be vested in a commission or a manager, which would eliminate high salaried officers, and that the entire ex pense would be less than the sdlary of a vice-president or board chairman of one of the large companies now existing.

April 14.—Three men killed and one probably fatally in jured is the result of what is believed to be the work of train wreckers at Cheney- ville, 30 miles southeast of here on the .Texas and Pacific railroad betwen one and two o'clock this morning, when a westbound passenger train plunged into an open switch, while running at a-high rate of speed. The wreckage caught fire and the mail car. baggage and express car and two passenger coaches were burned. An investigation showed that the switch lock had been broken, and the switch turned and the signal lantern thrown away. A full investigation is now being made by the railroad officials. The passengers and train crew at once began work in an effort to rescue these pir/fd down in the wreckage, and suc ceeded in releasing the engineer, fireman and express messenger, not before all had been badly burned, however. WASHINGTON, April 14.—“For more than a century our nation has b%en the greatest of world powers,” declared Wm. J. Bryan tonight in an address on "Abraham Lincoln,” at a meeting held under the auspices of the Union Veteran Legion Encampment No. Ill, to commemorate the forty- seeond anniversary of the death of the great emancipator. He reviewed the country's progress since the Civil War and declared the re-united country was only a fulfillment of the dream of President Lincoln.

Just forty- two years from that date (April 8). he quotes from Casscnore G.

The figures given by General Samuel Cooper, adjutant and inspector general, C. S. A. at 600.000. as the Confederate forces aggregated during that "Late un pleasantness," has been accepted North nnd South as practically correct. The records of the adjutant and inspector general's office, I believe were lost or destroyed upon the evacuation of Rich mond. April 2. 1863. and accurate data is not therefore obtainable. Mr. C. G.

C. F. Gautier, a French explorer, is authority for the statement that the Sahara is continuously becoming drier to such an extent that the oases are perceptibly drying up and will disap pear altogether in a relatively short time. He quotes historical records and physical signs to show that springs were at one time much more plentiful than now. and that the extent of the patches where vegetation flourishes were much greater even 50 to 100 years ago. As the climate of the region had un dergone no change in perhaps thou sands of years, he 'believes that the disappearance of the water must be due to purely mechanical causes. He considers that it is due to the contin ual advance of the great sand masses to the north, thus forming an imper meable barrier against the watershed of the Atlas mountains. righteousness.

The fact that he was dead was dis covered by Frank Evans a butler, who entered his room to answer a tele phone ring that had continued for some time. Evans found Mr. Eckels apparently asleep. The butler called to him and, getting no response, sought to arouse the banker only to find that the former comptroller was dead. Members of the household were summoned and Dr. Frank S.

April 14.—A choral ser vice, a fitting'prelude to the first Na tional arbitration arid peace congress which is to be operied tomorrow, was held at Carnegie hall tonight.

Probably 5,000 persons found admittance, while thousands were unable to get within the hall.

Around the back and sides of the stage on which were The speakers ajtd appar- I the three hundred members of the Ora torio Society, was draped a great white curtain on which were gofden stars. Along it were grouped American ban ners, flags and emblems with the words “Peace for all nations,” in electric bulbs.

Archbishop Farley said that he was not prepared to say that war could ever bo removed from society, but that much might be done to mitigate its horrors and lessen its frequency. Efforts for universal, pease, he declared, would ac complish only imperfect results until the moral power and authority or or ganized religion were openly recogniz ed. He spoke of what he called “A famous tribunal of peace"—the holy see at Rome, and expressed his belief that if the holy see were admitted to The Hague, American Catholics would look with more interest on the efforts for the abolition of war. The archbishop said no horror, moral or rriaterial. was lacking to war. and added: “Its benefits, if any, are PERRY, Ga„ April 14.—The fruit in this immediate vicinity is badly hurt.

Henry Clay, Alexander Stephens, Wal ter T. Colquitt-Forsyth Debate of 1844. By J. C. Sitting by the fire this winter day in April in the law office of Cabanis's & Willingham, conversation drifted to Henry Clay and the article in Satur day’s Telegraph by Jno. T. Boifeuillet on the birthday of Clay and his visit to Macon in 1844—when he was a Whig candidate against James K. Polk. This brought forth from Col. Tom ■Cabaniss many reminiscences of ante bellum days, and he told us of the visit of Clay to Forsyth during that same campaign. And he further told of the great de bate that took place in the famous grove where Col. Cabaniss now lives. This “Cabaniss Grove" bears the same relation to Forsyth that the Andrews grove does to Washington Ga. “In those days,” said Col. Cabaniss, "it was all day speaking. A Demo crat would speak for an hour, then the Whig opponent would follow, and so on all day long."

But in drove Walter T. Colquitt, in time for the barbecue, after dinner, and the Democrats were elated on his arrival. Their great champion, the old war horse of Democracy, was hete to save the day and confound this boy orator that had stolen the crowd from Strong and Chappell. Col. Tom Cabaniss, then a boy, was one of the audience. He was inclined to Democracy, though his distin guished father, Elbridge Guerry Caba niss, was a prominent Whig. He re calls that occasion and its incidents as if but yesterday, and he thrills one in relating his recollections of that eventful day in the history of Forsyth. Col. Cabaniss says many ladies were present to hear the orators and enjoy the debate. "And,” says Col. Cabainss. “Flem Jordon, of Monticello gave The Tele graph the right version of ‘who swal lowed the whale.’ I remember well how Walter T. Colquitt looked and appeared on the stump that day. I remember how he turned, as if in con tempt of 'Little Aleck,’ and said: ‘Hi, this youngling, comes here to tell us our duty and how we should vote. * * * Why, if he would grease his head and ears I could swallow him whole.’ “Then.” Col. Cabaniss says, "that clear, incisive voice rang out: ‘If you did you would have more brains in your belly than in your head.’ ” Col. Cabaniss remembers it well, and says he will never forget the impres sion the quick retort made on him. Walter Colquitt had to leave and fill appointment that night in Macon driving through in his carriage. Mr. Stephens knew of this—that Colquitt had to go. But when time came for Stephens to wind up the speaking and follow' Colquitt he looked around dur ing his speech and asked: “Where Is Colquitt? Js he afraid to hear me? -\h, yes, I know now. he has ‘sloped to Texas.’ ” The Whig crowd enjoy ed this thrust for Stephens and Clay opposed the annexation of Texas. And it was this opposition to an nexation of Texas that defeated tho great orator, Henry Clay. Cedar V/cod For Lead Pencils. Bulletin Agricultural Department. The lead pencil Is one of the most common articles in everyday use. and nearly 320.000,000 pencils are manufa - tured in this country every year. To manufacture these millions of pencils there are required 110.000 tons, >'r “,300,000 cubic feet, of wood, so that each day in the year 300 tons, or 20.060 cubic feet, of wood are used for pen cils. Since practically ail of the wood is red cedar, and since the pencil In dustry is steadily growing, the supply of red cedar is greatly depleted: vet ’o substitute has been found for it. .Leav ing out of consideration the imported pencils, the average educated American f over 10 years of age uses six pencils of home manufacture each year.

Why Seme of the Girls Wed. Some man with a masculine passion for statistics, says the Washington Times submits the following tabulated reasons why women marry. He is a modest little man. Most men think they know whv women marry. However, let us be quite serious. Our statistician gathered from his inquiries addressed to about 95 girls these results: Five wished to marrv in order that they might go out unchaperoned. Ten because they would then ba a* » to amuse themselves. Five because their husbands would on- - able them to travel. Seven so that they would own their own homes. Not one of the girls suggested love as a motive for matrimony.
