Exalting Her Idea of Him, A State street jeweler was conversing \vith a friend the other day when a her large, stylishly dressed woman and dropped daughter, of about 19 years, in and wanted to look at some diamonds. The jeweler displayed a tray full of glittering gems, and the elderly caller Baid: “I want to get a stone to match this one. It is for a present for my other daughter, and I waut to surprise the dear girl.” Whereupon she slipped off a soli¬ taire ring which the younger caller wore and handed it to the jeweler. “Well,” he said, “I can match the stone, of course, if you will give me a little time. It is a finer grade than we “What usually carry in stock. ” will one like that cost?” in¬ quired the woman. “About $100—approximately,” he replied, and the customers, with effu¬ sive thanks, departed. “I sold that stone a week ago,” re¬ marked the jeweler as ho rejoined his ia friend. simply “It dying cost $175.

A 3A oit 5 c OS: REPUBLICANS AND DEMOCRATS SELECT THEIR LEADERS. HONOR FALLS TO BAILEY,OF TEXAS. Lone Star State Man Will Head tlie Dem¬ ocratic Contingent and The Man From Maine Will Rule The House. Speaker Reed was unanimously nominated for speaker of tlie house at Saturday The night’s republican caucus. attendance of members was un¬ usually large, 192 of the 203 republi¬ cans being present. The new mem¬ bers were conspicuously numerous. Mr. Payne, of New York, was se¬ lected to place Mr. Heed in nomina¬ tion. He referred in flattering terms to Mr. Heed’s popularity in the house. He said that Mr. Reed was nominated when this congress was elected; that he was the choice of the republican party and that it was the business of the caucus to respond to this popular demand. When Mr. Payne had taken his seat Mr. Grosvenor, of Ohio, who occupied the chair, put Hie motion and it was adopted without a dissenting vote. Mr. Payne, of New York, and Mr. Cannon, of Illinois, two of the veteran members of the house, were designa¬ ted to escort the speaker, who was quietly seated in his private office*,to the floor. As he entered all the mem¬ bers rose to their feet and greeSqS him with a hearty burst of applause. Mr. Rood bowed his acknowledge¬ ments and made a short talk. A resolution was adopted which re¬ quires the chairman of the caucus to call a caucus when requested by twen¬ ty-live members in writing. All the present house officers were then renominated. They are us follows: Henry N. Con¬ don, of Michigan, chaplain; Alexan¬ der McDowell, of Pennsylvania, Clerk; Benjamin A. Russell, of Missouri, ser¬ geant-at-arms; W. J. Glenn, of New York, doorkeeper. Bailey Honored. The democratic members of the the house selected Mr. Bailey, of Texas, as their leader, nominating him for the speakership at their caucus Saturday night. Major Richardson withdrew from the contest and was chosen to preside over the caucus. The Tennessee dele¬ gation met before the caucus was held, and after a full conference and com¬ parison of strength, Richardson de¬ cided to get out of McMiilin’s way. It was the Arkansas delegation which injected Bland’s name. This was done over “Silver Dick’s” protest, and Bai¬ ley’s friends say it was done iu the hope of defeating him. The vote showed 50 for Bailey, 30 for McMillin, 22 for Bland. Mr. Bailey was awaiting the result in the appropriations committee room where a committee met him, and after ...l.n,ling lOi, od him to the house chamber, 1 ho was received tfRb*of>p)tWtm ■ young Texan asc,|ttilcd to, the,(speaker',a platform and express’his ’gratification at the honor conform! npon him and . advocated harmony in-the party. The following resolution offered by Mr. Dockery, of Missouri, was adopted: “Resolved, That a committee of five representatives he appointed to confer with the democratic senators for the purpose of having a joint cau¬ cus of«senators and members during the 55th congress, to the end that har¬ mony and uniformity of party action may prevail in the course to be follow¬ ed by the democratic senators and rep¬ resentatives.” lUILHOAD ORDERED SOLI). Mortgage Foreclosed Against Alabama. the Middle Tennessee ami At Montgomery a decree of foreclos¬ ure of mortgage has boon ordered in the case of the State Trust company vs. the Middle Tennesseean 1 Alabama Railroad company by the United States circuit court and the road will he sold. The bid must be at least $100,000, of which $20,000 must be cash, while the remainder can be paid in bonds. The road runs from Fuyettevillc, Term., to a point in Alabama near De¬ catur. If it should bo built or. to Decatur it would be a most valuable little line, and it is estimated that -25,000 or $.10,000 would complete it. WIDOW RUIZ’S PETITION. The Document. In Spanish, F* Received Hy Secretary .Sherman. The petition of Mrs. Ruiz, widow of the dentist, Ricardo Ituiz, was deliv¬ ered to Secretary Sheruiau Saturday. It covers eight pages < f note paper, the last of which is devoied to the sig¬ nature and is wholly in Span sb. The secretary has given no intima¬ tion of what his action will be,and un¬ til tho petition is duly translated disposition ho will not determine what to make of it. It is strongly intimated, however, that Mrs. Ruiz cannot rely upon speedy relief from Spanish source through pressure exerted by news nairers. WASHOUT CAUSES DEATH. Switch Kngine Tumbles Into a Small Stream—Engineer Killed. A wa-hout on a branch line of rail¬ way extending from Shell Mound, Tenn., to tho convict mining camp of tho Dado Coal Company at Coal City, Ga., canned the wreck Saturday of a switch engine and tho death of the engineer, J. T. Stewart. The fireman, by name of Cogle, re¬ ceived internal injuries that will prove fatal. COTTON COMPRESS DESTROYED. | Eleven”Hundred Bales of Cotton In Aslies. .

Eleven hundred bales of cotton were burned and h ‘ damage is placed at j | $45,001, most oi which is covered Ly insurance. j The Jire is said to have been started j by some-ssiail boys smoking cigarettes about the place. | WRECKED AND BURKED^ Train On the Southern Plnnijea Into Etowah River—Miraculous Escape. freight Early Saturday morning the onfthe mixed and passenger train Southern road was wrecked about a mile from Rome, Ga. As the mixed train from Chatta¬ nooga to Atlanta, carrying five freight cars, one baggage, two passenger and a Pullman coach, reached the Etowah river trestle the latter gave way when the train was about naif way over it and all the cars except the last pas¬ senger and the Pullman plunged through, one on top of tho other. The engine had reached the bridge when the trestle collapsed and tho en¬ gine was jerked slightly back off the track and plunged wildly into tho water below. It now rests on the bottom of the rive*; which is much swollen by recent rains. Fireman A1 Kennedy jumped, but Engineer Jim Pittman went under the water with his engine. Almost by a miracle neither was killed. Pittman swam out with a broken leg and a badly injured back. No one was so riously hurt except these two and a negro preacher iu the second class passenger coach. About half an hour after tho wreck a fire alarm was turned in, but before the department, could reach the wreck it almost completely burned up. It is thought that the very heavy rains of the past few days washed tho foundation of the trestle and thus caused the accident. PRESIDENT AT CHURCH. He Will Become a Member of the Metro¬ politan Methodist. ‘ President McKinley again attended 'service Sunday morning at tlie Metro¬ politan Methodist church, where Pres¬ ident Grant was a communicant dur¬ ing his residence in the white house, and a half block distant from the First Presbyterian church, in which Presi¬ dent Cleveland had a pew. Last Sun¬ day McKinley went to the Metropoli¬ tan church. While serving in the house of repre¬ sentatives he attended the Foundry Methodist church, a block from tho hotel where he resided, ami it was un¬ derstood that lie would again become a pew-holder there, his' visit to tho Metropolitan church last Sunday being merely intended as a compliment to an old friend, Bishop John P. Newman, of California, who occupied the pulpit of his former charge ou that. day. It is now understood, however, that the president will become, a member of tho Metropolitan church. The reasons for his change of intention, if a change has really been made, arc not known. BURGLAR CAUSES BLOODSHED. Street Fight Results In Death of a Chlltl and the Wounding of Two Men. A terrible shooting affray and gen¬ eral fight took place Sunday afternoon oh of Birmingham, one of the principal Ala. thoroughfare! The police was attempting to arrest a negro burglar, chasing him through tho streets and firing at him promiscu¬ ously. A stray lmllet killed a little [ ""j; Myrtis J «aw?w r 'down a well in which was ten fee? of water. He was taken out, however, before drowning and sent to the police station. While Hunter was being placed in tlie police wagon a general fight be¬ tween negroes and whites took place and several were hurt. Officer Perdue's jaw was broken by a pistol shot from Hunter and he is seriously hurt. Hunter will die. ALL READY FOR FIGHT. The Arena at Carson City Completed and Seats Numbered. A special from Carson, Nev., says: Tho final work on the arena where Corbett and Fitzsimmons will meet on St. Patrick’s day was concluded Sat¬ urday afternoon, when tho reserved seats wore numbered. Tho kineto scope was put iu place at tho ring side 1 and the arrangements whereby the big mill can be reviewed at leisure by thousands are all completed and only require fine weather to make the picture a success. The sun had almost the fierceness of summer heat and its drying qualities were quickly manifested by the ap¬ pearance of the roads, which, though still muddy in spots, were sufficiently dried off to enable both men to do some twelve miles of outdoor work. GAGE NAMING ASSISTANTS. It is stated with positiveness that two of the three assistant secretaries of Ihc treasury have been determined up on. They are General L. O. Spauld iug, of Michigan, and W. B. Howell, of New Jersey. The third assistant will be determined upon after a con ferenco between Secretary Gage and the president. Extra Session Will lie. Failed, Governor Jones, of Arkansas, has decided to issue a call for an extra ses sion of the legislature. He raid the appropriation bills have not been passed and he has no funds with which to run the state government. CARBOLIC AFII) FOR TWO. A Young Man and I!!h Finnccc Leave tin* World Together. William-E. Colerick, a young law yor of Indiana, was found dead on a lounge in the front room at the home of his fiancee, Miss Mae Hall, in Fort Wayne Saturday morning, and Miss Hall was found unconscious in her own room at the rear of the sa ne resi dence. Both had taken carbolic acid. Miss Hall is at the Hope hospital, where her death is houriyexpected. HIGH AVATEK DOING DAMAGE. The Mississippi Higher . 1 * Memphis Than Since 1S7Z.

On all the islands neai ihc city and in the lowlands of Arkan sas there is great suffering and also great loss of stock and property. SENSATION CREATED AT A MEET ING IN NEW YORK CITY. FRIENDS OF PLAN DISAPPOINTED. Resolutions Whicli Cam© to Naught* Although the Meeting Was Called to Adopt Them. Cooper Union Hall in New York City scarcely ever contained a larger, more enthusiastic or a more thoroughly cosmopolitan audience than crowded its space to the doors Thursday night to give expressions of approval to the ratification of the arbitration treaty now pending in the United States senate. Mayor Strong delivered a brief speech, in which he said, in part: “Wo are called here to give our in¬ dorsement to that expression of one of the greatest military men of his time, ‘Let, us have peace.’ ” Hon. Seth Low was introduced as the first speaker. He said: “International law is binding on no nation. There are no tribunals in ex¬ istence to enforce international law. Such a thing as systematic arbitration is unknown. It is a great, thing when two great nations iitriM say, RI 1 .V ‘Wo ‘We will swill not 1 W.L go to war in five years. ’ This treaty is the beginning of a new era in spread¬ ing law. Without tho details, the treaty itself should make it acceptable to all.” Hon. Charles S. Fairchild then read the following resolutions: “Whereas, After long and patient negoti¬ ations a treaty for tho arbitration within specified limits and by specified methods, of 'matters in difference between the United States and Great Britain,’ was signed on tho 11th day of January last by the repeotive plenipotentiaries of two nations; and, “Whereas, Tho United Htates lias always been an earnest advocate of International arbitration; and, “Whereas, The proposed treaty itself, which is for the trial term of only five years, is marked throughout by great conservation and caution; therefore, bo it “Unsolved, That in accord with our fellow citizens throughout the land, we respectfully petition our national senate for ( lie ratifica¬ tion of the treaty as signed hy tho repre¬ sentatives of tho high contracting parties, “Resolved, That we heartily concur in the declaration of our honored chief magistrate that ‘tlie treaty presents to the world tlie glorious example certain to bo followed by others;' and in his further unqualified decla¬ ration that ‘Importance and moral Influence of tho ratification of such ntronty <pm hard¬ ly he overestimated in the cause of advanc¬ ing civilization.’ ” Unexpected Turn Occurs, After the resections were read and as the ehairumn»as about to put the question on theSlfcidoption ca^asked AVauliopo Lynn arose to bo heard. 1’ermissipn wjnj git wfiich on and Mr. Lynn made an address fairly set the ttidjune* frantic. He Baid Unit Lwplftml bad broken during , war jveSKols civil for the , aey thti war aiid broke her trea ty. - ■ ' - “The spirit of New York is, against such resolutions. (Great cheers). “I care not for the depreciation of securities; I care,more for the depre¬ ciation of American patriotism. We can have no peuce with the robbor na¬ tion, England. “AYo ask no war, but in tho words of the great Washington, which this call does not incorporate tonight,‘We seek no entangling alliance with foreign nations.’ (Applause.) Mr. Lynn then offered the following resolutions ns a substitute for those already presented: “Whereas, tho United States followlngthe sago ndvico of Washington and the fathers of tin; republic' has ever avoided entangling alliances with European powers and pur¬ sued Its patli of peaceful progress untrnm melod by treaties restricting Its bonofloiont Interest in the western hemisphere; and, “Whereas, the Monroe doctrine is the practically accepted coda of international law prevailing on this continent; and, “Whereas, Tho arbitration treaty now pending before the senate of tins United States is so lacking in clearness of language and so complicated in construction as to in¬ volve danger of a reversal of the time-honor¬ ed policy of Washington and tho setting aside of tho Monroe doctrine; therefore, be it “Resolved, That we, citizens of New York, In mass meeting assembled, respectfully urge upon tho senate the unqualified rejection of said arbitration treaty with England.” Mr. Lynn had not yet taken his seat when Seth Low, who had suc¬ ceeded Mayor strong as chairman, jumped to his feet and said: “Follow citizens, this is a connff y of free speech, and when my friend asked for the privilege of the platform I yielded to him with the greatest pleasure. IIo must square it with his own conscience. At this si age of the meeting pande¬ monium reigned. After order was somewhat restored Chairman Low said: “We will now vote on the resolutions offered by the meeting; all those in favor say aye.” A loud cry of “aye” was at first heard, and a pleasant expression came over Mr. Low’s face as he asked for the “nays.” The cries that ho recived were deafening, and completely outdid the “ayes.” Men jumped to their foet waving their hats and shouting at the top of their voices and cried “No, no.” Notwithstanding this fact, Pres¬ ident Low said that the “ayes” had it. The hand had begun to play when the lights were suddenly extinguished and the meeting broke up in disorder. No Indictment Against Williams. Leon J. Williams, member of the South Carolina legislature and of the state liquor board, killed J. S. and W. B. Smith, brothers, at a church in Edgefield several months ago. The grand jury of Edgefield Wednesday refused to find a true bill; so Williams goes free. Cotton Mills to Be Sold. By an order of court the Matthews cotton mills, ia Helma, Ala., will be sold within sixty days under a fore¬ closure, the upset price being placed at §150,000. the jack rabbit crop. A Way Discovered for Utilizing It In Kansas. The Kansas jack rabbit, which from time immemorial has been accorded the unquestionable freedom of tho prairies, with only an occasions jack rabbit round-up to disturb his peaceful pos¬ session of the fields, henceforth must be ever on the alert, for a price has been set upon his head. Thousands upon thousands of dollars are thrown away every winter because sportsmen do not know that jack rab¬ bits hides are valuable. Sporting clubs and individual hunters kill many thou¬ sands of the litho-limbed jacks every winter simply for the sport of killing. Occasionally a cargo of the rabbits thus slain are sont to the relief committees In tho larger cltlC3 for gratuitous dis¬ tribution among the poor, and many a family In the tenement districts of the great cities has sat down thankfully to a steaming hot dinner of jack rabbit soup, a dish not to bo scorned by any lover of game meats. But despite the inroads of hunters upon tho ranks of the Kansas jack rabbits they have fol¬ lowed the Scriptural Injunction to In¬ crease and multiply until they are so numerous In some counties as to be re¬ garded as posts. A number of dealers In hides In vari¬ ous cities in Kansas at. last have awak¬ ened to the fact that jack rabbit hides, ltnownSn commerce as American hare polts, are in great demand in the East¬ ern markets, and notices similar to the following aro appearing in many papers throughout the State: “We will buy nicely handled, cased jack rabbit skins at. 3 cents each; open¬ ed or damaged half price; culls and pieces, 3 cents a pound. Must be per¬ fectly dry and free of meat.” The buyers say that these are almost New York prices. A skilled rabbit hunter at. these prices may easily make $2 a day, besides having ids usual sport. Tho skins of tho jack rabbits are used for making hats. The best quality hats are made from fur, and the fur has heretofore been obtained from Austra¬ lia, where tho rabbits are successfully disputing tho possession of the country with the human inhabitants. The skins go through a shaving machine, and tho fur is shaved off very close. It ia then cleansed and subjected to a variety of of processes until it, comes out a per¬ fect. head covering, shapely and stylish and ready for the bandbox. It requires about a dozen rabbit skins to make one hat. It has been found that the fur of the black-tailed Kansas jack rabbit is superior to all other materials for hat making purposes, as it is longer and stronger, and there is very little waste in tho process. The hides are larger, too, and more hats may be made from a given number of Kansas jack rabbit skins than from a corresponding num¬ ber of the hides of other varieties of rabbits. When your hat blows oft In a gale and goes bounding away down the street It may not be altogether the faujt of the wind; who knows but that, the hat is still Instinct with the life 9^ tho ’Kansas- jack rabbit, and revelling in a race With.the wind?

A True Incident.—A woman was picked up in the street in an unconscious con* dltion and hurried to the nearest hospital. On examination her body was found to be covered with sores caused by the hypodermic injection of morphine. This mere wreck of a woman had once held an honorable and lucrative position in a large publishing house in New York. Her health began to fail. In¬ stead of taking rest and medical treat¬ ment, she resorted to the stimulus of morphine. The hospital physicians discov¬ ered that her primary trouble was an affection of the womb, which could readily have been cured in tlie first stages. If, when she had felt those se¬ vere pains in the back, the terrible headaches, the constant sense of fullness, soreness and pain in the pelvic region, she had used Lydia E. l’inkham’s Vegetable Com¬ pound, it would have dissolved and passed off that polypus in the womb, and to-day she would havo been a w ell woman sitting in her office. Why will women let themselves • go in this way? It seems passing strauge that a woman like this one, so highly educated, and so well placed, should have de¬ pended on morphine, instead of seeking a radical cure. There is no excuse for any woman who suffers—she need not go without help. Mrs. Pinkham stands ready to help any woman; her address is Lynn, Mass. Write to her; it will cost you nothing. In the meantime get a bottle of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound at the nearest drug store. The following letter from one of your sisters will encourage you : Mus. Bertha Leiiuman, No. 1 Erie St., 27th Ward, Pittsburg, Pa., writes to Mrs. Pinkham: “I can hardly find words with which to thank you for what you have done for me. 1 suffered nearly seven years with baclcacho and sUleue.be, leucorvheea, and the worst forms of womb troubles. “ Doctors failed to do me any good. 1 have taken four bottles of Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound and one box of Liver Pills, and used one package of Sanative Wash, and now can say I am well and have been stead¬ ily gaining flesh; am stouter and heartier now than I have been for years. I am recommending your Vegetable Compound to my friends. Again 1 thank you for the good health I am enjoying.” L?SSi DRUGGISTS j ABSOLUTELY GUARANTEED 5 pie and booklet free. Ad.
