Holy Week commenced yesterday,
Palm Sunday. Thursday next will be
celebrated in the Catholic churches in
enumeration Of the Lord Supper, Next
day, Good Friday; Saturday, Holy Day;
and next day, Easter Sunday, which
closes the Lenten season. On Thursday,
Friday and Saturday the Office Of Tine
br@ or Darkness will be chanted in the
Roman Catholic churches throughout the
world.
1t has been suggested that as the
weekly mortuary reports are published
by the Board Of Health for the informa-
ten of the public, that all technical
terms and medical phraseology descrip-
tive of diseases, such as marasmus, per-
tusses, etc.. be dispensed with, and that
the English translation Of such words be
adopted in the reports. The average
Memphian has no unabridged dictionary
at his elbow and hence his troubles.
The Appeal locally notices the receipt
by Mayor League of proposition from
Baltimore to sell coupons, and this the
Appeal man regards as the strongest
Endorsement of the Mayors policy. Be-
cause A owes B, and B, seeing that he
cannot get any money, is willing to dis
count his coupons and sacrifice them in
order to realize something, it cannot be
considered strong Endorsement Of a
financial policy. 1t is rather direct
censure of the policy.
A colored female crusader named
Rachel becoming enthused at some SUI

PEELED the bar keepers to shut up, while

General Forrest has resigned the
Presidency of the Selma RAILROAD, for
the reason, as he states, that the County
Court is Withholding the third Install
ment on personal grounds to him. The
County Court, as is understood, with
holds the installment until the 1920
subscribed by the county and said to
have been Incorporated to the pay
ment of work done outside the county,
is replaced and expended on the work
within the county, but the County Court,
at its Joint session, will set itself right
on these points, and whatever it does in
the premises will be done with view to
the best interests Of the taxpayers of
Shelby county.
William Wallace, colorej exhorter
and attendant at the st. Jehn's Baptist
(coD church, desiring to go as a mis-
sionary and preach the Gospel to the
heathens of Cairo, Illinois, obtained
five dollars from the church for this pur-
pose. Wallace failed to advance to-
ward the scene of his prospective mis-
sionary labors, and spent the fund in
this city. Although repeatedly called
upon to go or return the money, he
failed to respond, and was arrested last
Saturday on the charge of receiving
money under false pretenses. He was
locked up and committed for the offense.
As an apostle to preach to the Cairo
heathens he was not a success.

The First Locomotive

The first locomotive brought to this
country was THE Stourbridge Lion,'
purchased in England by Mr.. Horatio
Allen, which arrived in this port on
the ship John Jay, in the midule of
MAY, 1923. Itwas landed in the wharf,
of the West Point Foundry Works,
foot of Beech street. The locomotive
was blocked up in the yard of the
works and steam put to it, and it be-
came the object of curiosity to thou
sands who visited the works from day
to day, to see the curious 'critter' go
through the motions only, as there was
no road for it about the premises. After
a short stay in New York, about the
1st of July it was shipped up the North
River to Roundout, for the Delaware
and Hudson Canal Company, and
thence by canal, to Carbondale, where
it was tried upon their railroad at
Honesdale, run few miles out upon
the road, and then taken off the track,
the road not being sufficiently strong
to carry it. 1t was housed and held for
sale for many years. The date of its
first running was positively between
the Sd and 8th of August, 1929, it being
almost certain that the last named is
the correct date. Mr.. Cooper's locomo-
tive was run on the Baltimore & Ohio
Railroad in the summer of 1929. 1t was
then altered and successfully expert
mented with in 1880. The first locomo-
tive built in the United States for actual
service on a railroad, was 'The Best
Friend,' built at the West Point Foun-
dry Works, in this city, for the South
Carolina Railroad, and after several ex
perimental trials in November and
December, 1880, made the first excur-
sion trip on Saturday, January 10Th,
1881, it being the anniversary of the
commencement OF the road.-[N. Y.

!ared with last year:

The consular and diplomatic bill was
about the same in both years, except
that the bill this year contained an
item of s2,OOO,OOO, to pay the claim of
the British Mixed Commission.
The pension bill this year was about
$500,0O0 less than last year, but he
thought it likely that there would be a
deficiency to that amount.
The snndry civil appropriation bill
last year was s32, 1861 900; this year it
was S25, 5,6e0,OOO. and this years bill
contained the usual item of s400, 900 for
the sufferers from the overflow.
The river and harbor bill, last year,
s6,l12, 900; this year it was S., ,24S,000.
The aggregate of the bills showed
diminution below last years appropri-
ations of 27,763,7S7. His statement,
of course, did not include private bills,
but his opinion was that while more
private bills than usual were passed at
this session, the amounts appropriated
in them were less than usual.

The rum question is disturbing the
minds of the New Hampshire Democ-
racy. They have the power now in
the Granite State, and wish to hold on
to it, but if they favor free-liquor law
they know that their doom is sealed.
One of their shrewd leaders has intro
duced a bill in the lower branch of the
Legislature which is characterized as
AN attempt to steer between the Sylla
and Charybdis of prohibition and free
rum,' and the prohibitionists who
brought about the recent political
changes in that State are satisfied with
the bill. 1t gives local option to every
town in the State, Furnishes adultera-
tion by fines, prevents sales to minors,
prohibits sales to person whose rela-
tives have forbidden it, has various
other stringent features. The fiery
liquid portion of the unwashed are
highly indignant at the provisions of
the bill, and threaten to bolt unless it
is diluted greatly. They won't take it
straight.

Wonders OF Cheyenne Canyon.

line MOuHtaneer-J
To say that the scenery is grand and
sublime but half expresses the reality.
To stand beneath the falls and gaze up
ward seems grand, but when you scale
the dizzy heights and out on some crag
of rock hang your pedestals over and
watch the surging stream as it dashes
from rock to rock down the seven falls
until the lower level is reached, 1000
feet below you, and then winding its
way down the canyon, dashing its way
in and out under the cliffs, the far
reaching, lawn-like plains for back
ground, while still above you are tow
ering majestic piles of recks-then it is
that words will not express what you
feel. Youcan but sit in mute astonish-
ment and awe, and drink in the glories
of the scene before, behind, above and
below you.

knowledge of Ones Business.

In late address before one of our
Dairymen's Associations, the following
truths were uttered:
1T is one of the greatest mistakes of
our farmers that, as rule, they suf-
fer the buyer to know more about the
quality and value of farm products
than is known by those whose labor
makes them. The buyer has tests
which the farmer does not have. l no.
tice that when the wool buyer comes
around he takes out his glass and sees
at glance the structure of the article
in hand, and knows more about it than
he who has toiled year in its produc-
ton. The same theory is true of seeds.
The magnifier is applied to pork to see
if it is infested wife trichina. L think
it is true, as rule, that buyers of farm
products know more about them than
the producers. The man who knows
the most always gets the best of the
bargain. 1t is certain that knowledge
is power in making q trade. 1t can
safely be put down as rule that man,
who for natural or artificial reasons,
can see hundred times as much as his
neighbors, will know the markets.
