to "go" on two occasions, and machin-
Mste of that city are at a loss to know

riurt.
. No Legal Existence.
A startling condition confronts the city
lit the present time. It Is the announce
ment that the Tampa Board of Public
Works has no legal existence. This, of
tcourse, means that the actions of the j
.board have been, for a certain term, ille
gal and null and void, which covers the
[expenditure, perhaps, of large sums of
•money. The board was created for the
of carrying on the public works
lef the city, Including the paving and sew
erage. The body is composed of W. R.
iHendereon. president; J. B. Anderson,
.George T. Chamberlain and R. F. Webb,
: and they have been holding office for some
tUrna.
Itjen Skipped Out,
s A special to the Morning News, told of
*the arrest of Henry Itjen and five negroes
accused of stealing brasses from the rail
roads at Jacksonville. Itjen was released
on 3200 bail. When the case was called
up to-day he. was among the missing,
having skipped out betwixt night and
idewn His ball was declared forfeited,
•nd a warrant was at once issued for him.
jThree of the negroes under arrest were
released for lack of evidence, but the
•earch Is going on. and the officers sav
jthey will have tha entire gang behind the
[bars before many days. The losses to the
,rsllroads have been great, and they have
;been very anxious to catch and convict
,the thieves.
I May Lose Hl* Sent,
l Jacksonville's City Council is always full
‘of surprises and changes, In fact It
'wouldn't be Jacksonville If something of
Jthe kind wasn't on the tapis every lit: lo
twhlle. This time it Is the unlooked for
absence of Aldermen Stansell that has
stirred up the waters. It will be remem
>be red that Stansell and Editor Williams
bad a shooting scrape some time ago, from
■ which both recovered, to all appearance.
ißut It seems that Stansell's wound was
imore serious than at first thought, and
,be hasn't fully recovered yer. It has
deft a nervous affection that is very dis
quieting to him. atansell left the city the
icther day auddenly and without the per
mlaslon of the Council. Now the city fatn
• era aay that this creates a vacancy, and
already they are talking of candidates
ready to take tils place. It will require
,a reorganisation of the committees as
Stansell was on a number. Altogether. It
Is rather a warm subject for this hot
■rcatber, and has created much comment.

RBPIRI.H A HOI SCO.
Do \ot Like Postmaster Browa' Ap
point me lit of Elliott.
Brunswick, Ga., June 30.—The Republi
can leaders representing the State. Dis
trict and County Executive Committees
met to-day and filed a strong protest
against the appointment of C. L. Elliott
as assistant postmaster for Brunswick by
Postmaster Brown. Elliott.s appoint
ment wax made by Brown several days
ago. and it came in the nature of a great
surprise to * lie party leaders.
Brown bad announced his intention of
not assuming he reins of offi ;e until July
1. and the party men who had strongly in
dors'd him believed that he would consult
them before naming his assistant. They
had several names to present for eon-: i
eration. and these were handed in to-da \
but various objections were made to ea-h
of the names propped to Brown by the
leaders, and the commute, composed of
t nairman T. R. Belcher of the Eleventh
District Committee, Chairman M>e-’ Saw
yer of the County Executive, and Deputy
Collector of Internal Revenue W. H. Mat
thews withdrew temporarily from Brown’s
presence to consult as to the next move.
The obje tions of the Baders to EiliOtt,
however, were based upon grounds con
cerning th** eligibility of the proposed as
,sis*ant to any claim to Republicanism,
and Republicans claim That ih y do not
reccgnize El'iott as one of them, and
w uli fight his appontment further and
make it an issue. They f el that the Re
publican party and persons who a:e re
sj nsible tor Brown’s appointment have
been treat'd badly from a political stand
point, and they will push their protest
against Elliott with all vigor. Brown is a
strong i arty mnn and stated ‘that in mak
ing the a pDiniment he believed it was
fo~ the best interest of the party and th
a rvice.
WEDDING AT VALDOSTA*
Arrest of n Negro Believed to He
Wanted in Snmnnnli.
Valdosta, Ga., June 30.—One of the
prettiest home weddings of the season was
that of Mr. Walter Beall to Miss Kate
Talley at the residence of Dr. H. M. Tal
ley on Thursday evening. The event was
witnessed by the relatives and intimate
friends of the contracting parties and
the ceremony was performed by Rev.
O. B. Chester, of the Methodist church.
After the ceremony a delightful recep
tion was tendered the happy couple and
they left by the first train for Alabama
to spend some time with relatives of the
groom. They are among the most pop
ular young people here.
A negro giving his name as William
Young was arrested here this week and
soon after his arrest the officer noticed
him trying to destroy a letter which ho
had in his pocket. The officer took the
letter and read it. It was from a woman
in Savannah, and -was cautioning him to
stay away from that city, as the officers
were on the look-out for him. It seemed
from the letter that the negro had com
mitted some crime in Savannah and was
a fugitive. He was held here to hear
from the officials there.
David M. Mathis, a white farmer liv
ing near Cat Creek, was bitten by a rat
tlesnake Thursday, and came near dy
ing from the effects of the wound. The
snake’s fangs went through his shoe,
and this fact is believed to have saved
his life.

pany has moved into new’ quarters, In the

—The war in China i.' bringing into no
tice the brave did humane action of Com
modore Josiah Tartnu!!, I*, rf. N., at Pia
Ho in 18C3, when he so nobly il
lustrated the humane centime.it that
•*blo->d is thicker then water.’ The same
sentiment ic to-day being illustrated by
the combined Powers in the relief of their
countrymen from Chinese atrocities. But
the heroic Tattnall c ted upon his own
impulses and without authority, so that
to him alouo belongs t rie glory of his ifu
mane action. Time has not dimmed the
lustre g: his fame as a great naval com
-nnander and a true* American citizen, and
to-day, in the midst of the bloody and ex
citing s*-er.vs in China, with which all na
tion.- are interested and ate making a
common defense, the a lion of Commo
dore Tattnall in that far-off period is
freshened in the memories of a grateful
and patriotic people, and the pens of gift
ed writers are again •’•ommending the valor
and humanity of (B orgia’s illustrious son.
By a critical examination of the Confed
eral e records I iind that the appointment
of Henry T. EJl* a. Postmaster General
was made, but he do .ined, and therefore
Postmaster General John H. Reagan, as
1 stated, was the only person who really
filled that office. 1 also discovered that
Gen. William M. Browne, who died as
processor i:i the University of Georgia at
Athens, was “ad interim” Secretary of
Suite from Feb. 17. 1862, to March 18, 3862;
and Gen. Gustavus W. Smith, so promi
nent in Georgia military movements, was
temporary Secretary of War from Nov. 17.
1862, to Nov. 21, 1862, when J. A. Seddon
came into office.
The Provisional Congress gave to the
Confederal' army a host of gallant
crals—Robert Toombs, Thomas Pt. R.
Cobb, J. Patton Anderson, Francis S. Bar
tow. Howell Cobb, George B. Hodge, John
B. Clark. Roger A. Pryor and Thomas N.
Waul. The First Congress sent U. J. G ir
trell, M. la. Bonham. William Fm th ‘and
John Pi. Chambliss*. The Second Congress,
I think, only added Humphrey Marshall to
the list. Several generals went into the
service from the cabinet and the executive
department and served with distinction.
Alabama's Progress.
While listening to Gen. Dan Sickles’ re
markable statements as to Alabama’s pres
ent and future greatness, as a cool, iron
and manufacturing state, in his pair.oiic
address befote the Society of the Army of
the. Potoma- , at Fredericksburg, Va., in
May, P recalled the eloquent end prophetic
words of my dear old ft lend, the late PPon.
Henry W. Hilliard, addressed to his con
stituents in Alartima (Dec. 3, 1850) on his
retirement from Congress. According to
Gen. Sickles’ startling array of figures,
Alabama has already surpassed the fond
est dreams that Col. Hilliard ever enter
tained of her future greatness.
"IyR us,” said the retiring Congressman,
“cultivate a patriotism large enough to
embrace our whole country. Let us hope
that our rights will be respected by the
other states of the Union. Let us forbear
any hostile ac'ts on our own part. I cer
tainly desire to see in the midst of the
great agricultural region of the South a
varied industry, which shall rival that of
the North, and which shall spread over
our fertile plains all the embellishments
which wealth and a high civilization can
bestow. I desire, too, to see a direct trade
with foreign countries carried on through
Southern ports. But I desire to see all
this brought .about hv the enterprise and
the energy of our people, entering into a
bold and generous competition with those
of the other states. We should seek to
make Alabama a great and wealthy state,
and we can do this by the vigorous devel
opment of our resources.”
Adjutants General.
An interested and critical reader, in Sa
vannah, of these articles, informs me in
a kindly' spirit that my reference to Gen.
Prenzo Thoman as adjutant general of
the army was misleading. This grow'? out
of the fact that P simply lumped the en
tire service of this venerable officer, and
failed to state when he became adjutant
general. This occurred in March, 1861,
he having previously, for nearly ten years,
been, an assistant adjutant general. The
first really permanent adjutant general
was Capt. Roger Jones, of the Third Ar
tillery, who w’as appointed under his
brevet rank of colonel “for ten years
faithful service in one grade.” Qapt.
Jones entered the army In 1812, from Vir
ginia, in the Third Artillery, and his
brevet of major came for “distinguished
service” at the battle of Chippewa, and
♦ hat of lieutenant colonel, for “gallant
conduct” at Fort Erie. In those early
days the adjutant general’s deportment
was filled by details from the line, but
Col. Jones proved to be so valuable to the
army in that position, that in 1835, he
gave up his commission as lieutenant col
onel of the Fourth Artillery, and became,
in fact, as in title, the adjutant general
of the army, the duties of which office
he had performed under detail for ten
years. Hie brevets of brigadier general
and major general were won by gallant
conduct in the field, and long and faith
fpi service in whatever station placed.
Col. Jones died in office on July 15. 1852.
Qn w r hich day' Maj. Lorenzo - Thomas was
promoted to be lieutenant colonel in the
department, and issued the general order
announcing the death of Gen. Jones. It
was not until 3861 that the rank of brig
adier general was conferred upon an ad
jutant general; but no officer in later
years has given that department better
service than Col. Jones rendered during
nearly thirty years of his army life.
.luck cliiim'* DoaMt.
Sometime npo I had occasion to refer
to the notorious Col. Jack Chinn of Ken
tucky, who boasted that he wore a Con
federate Veteran badge, "lhat no damn
nigger can wear.” The presence of a col
ored Confederate Veteran in a roller
chair at the Charleston Reunion, was a
llttlng rebuke to that profane boast. Hut
Capt. "Tip" Harrison of Atlanta, says:
Col, Jack Chinn was conspiclous at the
Louisville Reunion, and repeated his pro
fane boast with great gusto. And yet
there were two brave colored Confederate
Veterans present at that reunion as del
egates, and the "Lost Cause,” a Can
federate monthly of that city, edited by
the wife of Gen. Basil W. Duke, who is a
sister of Gen. John H. Morgan, pays a
generous tribute to the fidelity and cour
age of these colored Confederates, But
It remains for men of such low instincts
as characterize Jack Chinn to call them
"damn niggers" and assert but without
truth—that they can't wear a Confed
erate Veteran's button. Let us go back
to the old days of 1865, when slaves were
to he pm into the Confederate Army as
soldiers in great numbers, and see how
patriotic they were.
Dr. F. W. Hancock, surgeon in charge
of the headquarters at Jackson Hospital,
under dale of Feb. 14, 1865, made this re
port to Liet. Gen. R. S. Ewell: "For my
own gratification, as well as those who
are taking a great Interest in the Import
ant question, with regard to the using of
the slaves of the Confederacy as an as
sisting element to us in defending our
homes, firesides, and country from those
who would destroy us, I would respectful
ly say that this morning I caused the
hired male slaves at this hospital to be
convened, and after asking them the de
liberate question, if they would be willing
to take up arms to protect their masters’
I families, homes, and their own from an
I attacking foe, sixty out of seventy-two re
sponded they Would volunteer to go to
the trenches and fight the enemy to the
bitter end.”
While it is true that there was a strong
oppos:* ion. headed by President Davis and
many leading officials, to enlisting negro
so*diers in the Confederate army at first,
yet that oppoMtion melted away before a
stern necessity for more men in the field,
and just as the Confederacy went to
pieces a movement was completed to fill
up the depleted ranks of the army with
negro soldiers. On March 15. the
Forty-ninth Georgia, camped near Peters
burg, Va asked permission to do ihia
thing, end th*ir appeal was indorsed by
Gen. F. L. Thomas, Gen. C. M Wilcox.
Gen. Harry -Heath and Gen. R. E. Lee.
but the . lose of thr- war prevented its be
ing granted. Maj. Mark Newman of 6an
dersville, but formerly of Savannah, and
one of the bravest and best of Confederate
soldiers, was then adjutant of the regi
ment, and through his patriotic zeal the
original petition was saved and is now
preserved in the archives of the state
Sidney Herbert.
LOSS OF A RESIDENCE.
Other New Reported of Thing;* and
Person* In Tennille.
Tennille, Ga.. June 30.—Early this morn
ing the residence and outhouses of Mr.
Lee Jordan on Adams street were de
stroyed by fire. The loss is about 51.3-0.
with partial insurance. The fire I? thought
to have originated from a defective stove
flue.
T- nnille will have a large new brick
cotton warehouse erected in time for the
beginning of the cotton season. This will
give Tennille two commodious ware
houses.
Secretary J C. Harman of the Tennille
Institu'e, has in preparation a handsome
illustrated descriptive catalogue of his
school.
The owners of the property on which
the Taylor Hotel stood, opposite the Cen
tral passenger depot, contemplate erect
ing a handsome brick boiel and several
stores. It is one of the most valuable
piec s of property in the c tv, and the
ction of some handsome buildings will
add greatly to the app arance of the
street.
Large quantities of peaches are being
shipped from Tennille The growers seem
to be pleased wi-h the pries ob;ained
so far.
Mr. W. E Vinson has moved his fanvlv
back to Savannah, where they will reside
in the future.
Miss Daisy Browne of Savannah Is vis
iting relatives here.
Mrs. John Todd of Savannah was in the
city vest rday en route to Irwinton,where
she will visit her parents.
A bridge on the Wrightsville and Ten
ni.le Railroad was discovered on fire early
Wednesday morning About forty feet of
stringer were burned,, and it was very
fortunate that it was discovered before
a train came, as it is a very high trestle,
and had a train passed a fearful accident
could not have b en averted.
REPUBLICAN'S AY ILL MEET.
Florida Committee Has Been Called
to Meet at Ocala.
Tallahassee, Fla., June 29.—The Republi
can Committee has been called by its
chairman, Hon. W. G. Robinson, of the
general land office of Gainesville, to meet
in Ocala on July 17, and select a slate
to present to the convention, which has
been called to reconvene in Ocala on July
19. It is said by leading Republicans that
a full ticket for state offices will certain
ly be placed before the people by the re
convened convention.
It is regarded as very significant that
a call has been issued for a state conven
tion of Populists, to be held in Ocala on
July 17. The identity of place and time
chosen by the Republicans and Populists
leads to open talk of expected fusion.
Whether this will develop into anything
tangible remains to be seen, but an un
usual reticence to talk about the matter
is notk’eable among both Republicans and
Populists.
While it is felt in some eminently re
spectable Democratic quarters that the
platform adopted by the recent state con
vention contains some serious mistakes
and is likely to cause trouble in the fu
ture, no Democrat seems to have any fear
about the election of the entire ticket by
overwhelming majorities. There is no
criticism anywhere in Democratic ranks
of the ticket.
PLE.VSED AVITH COHIdIL.
His Speech on Negro Day at the Fair
Greatly Praised.
Brunswick, Ga., June 30.—Negro Day
at the fair was one of the largeet of the
week, and Prof. W. H. Council of Nor
mal. Ala., the noted orator of the day, was
greeted by an immense throng of both
white and colored people. He was intro
duced by Chairman Belcher of the Re
publican District Committee, and made
one of the most eloquent and scholarly ad
dresses ever heard by a Southern audi
ence. Council’s fame as an orator had
preceded him. yet his powers of expres
sion and depth of thought moved his audi
ence to the greatest wonder. He held
the spell-bound attention of all for nearly
two hours, and ewept the crowd with
varying feelings of emotion and laughter
by his eloquence and delivery. Nothing
*ke Council’s address had ever been heard
here before, and the many ladies in the
vast audience enjoyed it thoroughly. That
he easily ranks with Booker Washington
as an orator and thinker, is the general
opinion of those who heard him to-day.
INTERESTED LADIES.
Working In a Good Cnn*e.
"In the institution where I am employ
ed as nurse (the Home for Aged Women)
we find many ladies suffering from gas
tric trouble caused by coffee.
My own personal experience le that
since a child I have been a moderate
dr.nker of cofree but most of the latter
years have suffered fr-m acidl y of the
sumach, sluggish liver and nervousness.
I finally gave up coffee entirely, about
three years ago, using hot water In Its
place. Of course, alter removing th*
cause, the symptoms disappeared, but I
seemed to ne and a beverage more strength
ening than hot water, as my occupation
of nurse required considerable exertion. I
b gan to lo k about for a suitable break
fast beverage and undertook the pr pa ra
tion of one by browning some wheat ber
riand using that as coffee, but the re
sult was far from satisfactory. Finally
I cam- across Postum Food Coffee, on a
visit at, my home in Roselle, N. J., and
found It exactly fitted the case

was fits' served, it was not satisfactory,
but I look and into the matter anl Instate)

Men Will Not Give Counsel —At
Former Convention* They Were

tion Looked for.
Washington, June 30— In the assem
bling of the Democratic hosts at Kansas
City next week no provision has been
made for the gold Democrats who have
heretofore figured conspicuously in the
party councils. In the coming campaign
Mr. Bryan and hts followers will miss the
advice and support of the political leaders
who did so much to give the country the
only Democratic administration It has had
during a period covering nearly forty
years. Indeed the go and Democrats appear
to be entirely eliminated.
When the Democratic muster roll is call
ed, the names of CDveland, Whitney. La
mont, Smith of New Jersey, Gray of Del
aware, Carlisle, Vilas, Don Dickinson,
Palmier of Illinois, Lindsay and other
Democratic followers of the gold standarl
will be missed. During rec<nt year, these
gentlemen have figured conspicuously in
national conventions, and the weight of
experience and power they carried with
them on the floor of the conventlon~will
be missed.
In reviewing the roster of Democratic
generals who will be in command of the
forces In Kansas City, it Is impossible to
flrd the superior of the crafy Don D ok
lnson whose magnificent work on the floor
of the convention in support of Grover
Cleveland will never be forgotten bv those
who attended the three conventions which
nominated Cleveland for the presidency.
While other so-called leaders were dash
ing madly around among 'he delegates in
a manner that rendered them officious
without being affective, men like Whit
ney, Lamont and Dickinson quietly, but
successfully.kept their force* well In hand
and prevented the capture ef their posi
tions by a force which at limes appar
ently outnumbered them. It was the su
perior generalship of Dickinson, Vila*.
Lament. Whitney and Gray which pre
vented the routing of the Cleveland forces
In '92.
Cleveland Seldom Mentioned.
Cleveland is seldom mentioned In Demo
cratic society except In spirit of oon
demnaiion and contempt, but nevertheless
Conservative and common-eense members
of the party continue to revere his name
In spite of the denunciation heaped upon
him. Although the gold Democrats are
not expected to dieregard the r early teach
ings in the school of practical politics and
vote for McKinley, it Is hardly reasonable
to look to them to pull off their coats
and battle enthusiastically to promote the
free coinage of sliver,

convention without mortally wounding: his
opponent or giving offense to those who
differed with him on great national ques
tions. He alw’ays surrounded himself with
a staff of well-trained and capable offi
cers who kept him thoroughly advised as
to the effectiveness of his own army, and
at the same time, without giving offense,
succeeded in anticipating the assaults of
his enemies. Mr. Whitney is not a brass
band politician, but without, ostentation or
unnecessary display, he fairly won 'he rep
utation for political strategy equal to the
distinction accorded to Grant and Lee as
ideal warriors.
All the Indications point to a cut-and
drled Bryan Democratic Convention at
Kansas City. The renomination of Bry
an, which seems to be a foregone conclu
sion. is not likely to arouse any more en
thusiasm than that which accompanied
the renomination of McKinley last week.
Here at the national capital, the hot-bed
of administration pensioners, not a shout
of Joy was heard, ami the administration
organ here broke all former precendents
by refusing to get, out an extra as a com
pliment to the present occupant of the
White House.
Political Ginger.
The Democrats are scheduled to repeat
the performance of their Republican op
ponents in trying to inject some political
ginger Into the race for the vice presi
dency. In the language of one of the best
known Democratic politicians in Ihis coun
try, who Is not an advocate of Mr. Bryan,
‘'The vice presidency on the Democratic
ticket Is as much settled to-day as was
the nomination of Roosevelt at Philadel
phia. The party organization,” he contin
ued, "walled until they found that they
had two-thirds of the delegates pledged to
Bryan. Then they Immediately proceeded
to scour the country for an Eastern man
who would contribute himself or induce
his rich friends to contribute liberally to
the campaign fund. Such a man Is sup
posed to have been found, but at present
his name is understood to be a profound
secret except to those who are In the con
fidence of Mr. Bryan and Senator .Tones."
This same gentleman went on to say
that there i but little spontaneous emhu-.
stnsrra throughout the country for either
Bryan or McKinley, and he predicts that
there will be n leige falling off in the voio
for the two candidates as compared with
the vote at the last presidential election.
In view of existing conditions, he ven
tured the assertion that if the Democratic
perty could unite Its forces, and go into
the battle with the assistance of all the
great leader* of the party, including those
gold Democrats, who are treated as pollti-
