Death Of Rishon Ear.v.

\ Geographic dispatch received yester-
day morning announces the death of the
venerable John Early, Bishop of the Meth
odist Episcopal Church, South. He died
at Lynchburg, Va, at an early hour yesteI-
day morning the 9Th inst. This distin-
guished divine was born in Virginia in
1873, and was consequently S. years Of age.
At an early age he joined the Virginia
Conference, and became an itinerant
minister. From early manhood 10 ripe
old age, he continued a Jealous and
faithful worker in the Church. In his
young days he filled succesSiveiv the
offices of Secretary of Conference, Presid-
ing elder and delegate Of the General Con
ference. At theEGeneral Conference of
1916 lie was elected general book agent, in
which office he continued until elected
Bishop in 1854. For several years past he
has been an invalid, and his death was not
unexpected. 1t can be truly said of him
however, that no man in the church has
filled his mission more faithfully through
a long series of years. After a life of earn
est and increasing labor, he goes down to
the grave honOred for his many virtues,
and eXtrollcd for his devotion to christian
duty.
In order to pay a suitable tribute to his
memory, Bishop McTyeire, upon receiving
intelligence Of his death, issued the follow
ING order:
The ministers of the Methodist Episco-
pal Church, South, in and around Nash
Vile, are requested to meet in the Bishops
room at the Publishing House, on Friday
Nov Z, at 10 o'clock, on the occa-
sion of the death of the venerable Early,
which occurred at Lynchburs, Va, on
Wednesday morning, Nov. ).

A STRONG POINT MADE.

Mrs. Cady Stanton is a politician
more ingenious than Bolinbroke, more
fascinating than Alcibiades. MAN
hood suffrage" never received such a
shock, never was so near being watered
if not overturned by woman suffrage as
when that woman of business said that
if women could attain their rights ba-
bies would mo longer wriggle, but
sleep the livelong night" without sooth-
ing syrup. Here is an argument in
favor of the extension of the suffrage
that tells. 1t is something that is
equally effective in the cabin and in
the parlOr, in the palace and in the ten
ement. This is the sort of argument
that the ''toiling millions can under
stand and appreciate. Paris was well
worth a mass, said Henri Quatre in es-
chewing his religion, and how many
men are there who viii refuse to say
that rights of serene slumber, undis-
turbed by the rocking of cradles, the
singing of lullabies, the walls and the
wriggling of unhappy infancy, are not
worth the concession of a vote to Op-
pressed womankind? Modern heroism
is undeniable, but it will not leap INTO
that gulf with the Curtii of old bache-
lOrhOOd But if Mrs. Stanton Will pro-
cure us immunity from wriggles she
will at the same moment abolish old
bachelors and bring back the days of
Queen Bertha with jump.

the present, everybody talks mOney-how
to obtain it, how to hold ON to it, and how
to invest it so that it will produce more
money. 1t is not strange, therefore, that
the community has its attention specially
drawn to the Public Library Lottery as a
means of lettering their financial condition.
Thousands are investing in tickets, and pa
tiently awaiting results. A vast amount of
money is to be distributed on the Sd day Of
December. The only question remaining
is, who shall have the fortunes, which on
that day will be handed over to somebody;
but certainly not to those who have failed
to invest. Under ordinary circumstances,
a word to the wise is sufficient; those who
fail to heed the goddess when she invites

RumOrs.
From the Memphis Appeal, Nov. 4.
We celled yesterday at the residence of
Mrs. McNichOl'5 and interviewed her. She
is a very plain, outspoken Irish woman, in
humble circumstances, and greatly fears
that publicity has seriously injured her
reputation. Her house has but two rooms
to it, the front one containing very small
stock OF groceries that bear the imprint of
time. Of substaiitialS there was very little,
and everything b tokens want, particularly
the seven children, one Of Wh0lII iS q little
boy with only one arm. Mrs. McNichols
was rather reticent at first, but finally
asWered our inquiries, and then cOnverSed
more freely. She states most emphatically
that she never made any application to
Paul Cicalla for assistance, and did not
know that any ratiOnS had been issued for
her. She then went to Mr.. Halstead with
her boy, and the conversation heretofore
reported occurred between them. This
was Friday; that same afternoon Mr.. Cical-
la called and proffered the five dollars. She
told him she did not want his money. Sat
urday morning some Of the goods
were brought to her house,
and more at noon of the same day. She
stated, in answer to the inquiry, "Were
you absent on Monday, Oct. 81, or during
last week." II was not, and have not
been for some time. | left home Saturday
three weeks ago, and returned the follow
ing Sunday night" The goods brought to
her house were, one ham, one sack of -four,
one sack meal, one blanket, one small sack
Of rice, one can of mustard, three cans con-
densed milk, and three pounds and three
of aOffna Of Ty-biol, tho loflxr
would touch. She told the parties who
brought the goods that she did not want
them, and to take them away; but they
were left, and most of them remain there
now, though Mr.. HaIstead called and car
ried the first delivery made Saturday-flour,
meal and ham-away. The requisition, as
drawn by Cicalla, called for ten pounds of
coffee, making a shortage of six pounds and
ten ounces in that article alone. No tea,
sugar or bacon, only one ham out of two,
and one blanket out of three put III an ap-
pearance. No condensed milk was on the
requisition made by him, so we consider
that the three cans of that article was de-
livered as an act of generosity on his part.
Elsewhere will be found the action of
the Citizens Relief Committee in the case
of Mr.. Cicalla, and the card of old man
ail CiCdllil, ullCie OI JIle tH-StcJlIl9-hdyoi,
who stands as a gentleman and an honest
man in the opinion Of all who know him.
We understand from a reliable source that
the Italians of this city held an Indignation
meeting yesterday and censured Paul A.
Cicalla in the loudest terms known intheir
language. 1t would be impossible to give
all the town talk in connection with Cical-
las name and actions, but as the matter
will 20 before the courts, doubtless every
thing will come before the public.

NEMESIS.
A Strange Story of the Memphis Pes
thence,

Some days since, one Hawthorne, wrote
a letter from Cleveland inquiring about his
wife, whom, he said, had elOped with a
man and came to this city. He heard that
the aforesaid wife and her paramOur were
dead of yellow fever, and he desired to
know something of his children, aged re
spectively 10 and II years. Yesterday DIR.
W. Il. Hodges, who was the physician of
the lady referred to, stated to our reporter
that she was really dead, as was also the
person with whom she lived and to whom
she claimed to be lawfully married. DR..
Hodges further states that the couple were
very worthy people. The lady said her
former husband was convict, and brutal
individual, from whom she had been law
fully divorced. Athreatening letter written
by this person is believed ohave accelerated
the lady'S death. The children will not be
given to their original father if their friends
and kindred can prevent it.-Memphis

A Nuisance.

A pile of dirt on the street near the Sus-

two horses yesterday. One was attached
to buggy, and when he fell, converted the
shafts into kindling wood.
The other horse skinned his knee so bad
ly that the young blood who was riding him
at the time, remarked: 'Damniide skinned
his knee up that way for a twenty dollar
note" And he looked like a young man
who could have used a twenty dollar note
TO advantage, too.

We handled yesterday a silver coin of
the reign of Alexanderth the Great, 323 b. c.,
and therefore now 2,l96 years old. In di-
meter it is not quite the size Of an Ameri-
can dime, although owing to its thickness
it has the weight Of about two dimes. 1t
bears upon one side the head of the great
Alexander crowned with laurel. Upon the
other side is the figure of a man resting on
a chair, with one arm outstTetched, upon
which a bird is perched. The images on
either side are in alto relievo giving the
coin great bulk. This curiosity Of the an
cient world has been in possession of Mr..
Biclnell and his ancestors for over hun
