During the session of the Presby-
terry in our city, the Rev. NJ. Sluter.
and two other Minister'S, deemed it
proper to enter their protest
against the temperance doctrine Of
total abstinence from intoxicating
liquors; thereupon, the editor OF
the ''Shelby Republican" refers to
Rev. Shutters former position on
that question, under the head of
"Then and Now" which we copy on
our first page to-day. The Re-
publican of the 23d, makes q slight
correction of its former article, in
regard to Miss Ways visit there

Badly Sold.

4 clerk in book store in Louisville,
where lottery tickets were sold, laid
aside one for himself numbered 3,307.
A short time ago the proprietor of the
store received letter from one Perkins,
living in an interior town, stating that
he had dreamed that 1907 would draw
the capital prize, and requesting said
proprietor to purchase that ticket for
him if it was to be had. The clerk
stated that this was the identical ticket
he had selected for himself and there
upon pulled out his money and paid for
it. He then wrote to Perkins that he
could have the ticket for $500. Strange
to say, the return mail brought an ac-
ceptance of the offer and a request that
the ticket be at once forwarded to Per
kins. This so excited the clerk that he
backed square out, and declared he
would not sell it for less than 81 900.
He was soon astounded at the receipt
of another letter agreeing to the terms
and demanding the ticket. This so
worked upon the nervous clerk that he
refused point blank to sell it at any
price, and for fear that the priceless
ticket might get lost, he locked it up in
bank vault. The young man has just
discovered that the whole thing was a
hoax, played upon him by acquaintan-
ces, and, what is worse, has found out
that 1907 drew nothing bnt a blank in
the grand scheme"

PrOdigiOus Mental Feat.

Mr.. Rosenthal, the celebrated French
chess player, recently performed at
Paris another of those surprising men,
tai feats for which he is so famous. He
played at the Palais Royal twenty seven
games of chess at once with that num-
Der of the best French and foreign
chess-players. 1t was stipulated that
Mr.. Rosenthal should have only one
minute for each move passing, along the
twenty-seven tables in order. OF course
each of his antagonists had time to
study his game while Mr.. Rosenthal was
busy at the other twentysix tables. 1t
is quite unnecessary to point out the
mental strain of keeping thus in mind
so large number of games at once,
during the time they lasted, which was
from o'clock at night until o'clock in
the morning. The result was marvel
Gus. Mr.. Rosenthal won twenty-three
games, three were drawn, and he lost
only one, which was gained by a Hun
garian player named Rakowski, who
thus achieved victory of which he may
we'll be proud.

Dustin Music.

Our neighbor Chubb has not much of
an ear for music, but he spent con-
siderable sum in having his daughter
taught how to hammer piano, and he
is proud of her accomplishments. He
was talking with us over the fence the
other day when q series of dreadful
sounds came from his piano through
the open parlor window. Presently
Chubb remarked:
"D'you hear that, Adeler Just
listen to that, will you That's what
l call music.
Then there was few additional bangs
on the instrument, flourish or two,
and then more cordant humping.
"Splendid isn't it 2" said Chubb.
"Mary James Dustin the music right
out of that machine, you observe.
Them's the Strauss waltzes, L believe,
she's raslin' with now. just listen.
We remarked that from the energy
displayed, Mary Jane at least seemed
to be really in earnest. But whether
she was treating Mr.. Strauss exactly
right was an open question.
81 don't know nothin' about music,
Adeler," observed Chubb, "but / kin
tell the real thing when hear it, and ]
kin sit and hear Mary Jane play them
waltzes and the Maiden's Prayer until
it makes me cry like child"
We asserted that if she played those
compositions as she was doing now, il
would make anybody cry. A deaf mute
would shed tears.
Listen to that now, will you ?" ex
claimed Chubb, as wild tumult OF
sound came from the parlor. Isn't thai
splendid q? If 1 didn't know it was Mary
Jane a-tearing around among then
waltzes, I'd think it was one OF
them fellers who. play at the concerts
Let's go over and hear her."
We entered the house and sought the
parlor. Mary Jane was nowhere to be
seen, but to the infinite disgust of Chubl
there was red-haired man, with fist
as big as loaf of bread, tuning the
piano. Chubb asked us not tell any
body, and we won't. 1t is related her,
in confidence, and it must go no fur
ther.-Afar Adcier.

Commodore Vanderbilt.

One year after his wife's death Com
modore Vanderbilt married Miss Frances
Crawford, of Mobile, with whom he
lives very happily. His will has been
made for nearly twenty years, he making
additions or changing it as he thinks
proper. Someone once said to him :
You ought to be very careful about
your will, Commodore, or where there
are such vast interests at stake there
may be endless trouble and litigation. I"

piled: What the HI do L care what

preserve the bulk of his fortune in the
shape in which he will leave it, at least
during the generation that next sue
ceeds him.-Ne,O York Tribune.

you to drink even wine, for drinking
wine gives taste for stronger drink,

A Remarkable Young Man.

The son of Mr.. George Jones, prin-
cipal owner of the New York Times, is
very remarkable young man. AL
though the offspring of rich parents, he
chose, at the age of Is, after thorough
education, to commence at the lowest
round of the ladder and climb it with
out aid. He donned blue blouse and
joined the toughest mechanics in the
Morgan Iron Works, where he worked
steadily for three years and half.
Step by step he advanced from pilera nd
filler, through all the gradations until he
was pronounced finished workman.
He then went into the Times establish
ment as assistant machinist, and, after
learning every detail of the business,
took charge of the press-room, posi-
ton which he now holds.

Summers Marriage.

His marriage was the most incompre-
hensible thing he ever did throughout
his long and useful life. Mrs. Hooper
was very beautiful, brilliant and great
" admired woman, who moved in the
choicest Boston circles. Her position
could not have been augmented by be-
coming Mrs. Sumner, although her am
bition might have been gratitied, and
she certainly forfeited her fortune. She
was used to homage from men her
husband was accustomed to reverence
from every one. She found him an alb
sorbed man, only going into society for
the etiquette of the thing. She was
devoted to gay life, and drew around
her a crowd of worshipers. When the
Senator, weary from his duties at the
Capitol, would at an early hour be ready
to order the carriage, the madame was
in the zenith of her enjoyments, and L
have been told of several remarks she
was wont to make TO him before people,
singing to his self-love and mortify-
ing to his pride She is accredited with
high temper, over which she exercised
not the slightest control. We cannot
penetrate the causes which led to the
arrangement, for Mr. Sumner never
mentioned the matter after the separa-
ton, but who can tell what he may not
have suffered? His death, so immedi-
ately following his wife's application
for permission to marry again, is, 10y
some, thought to be the effect of learn
ing the above news, his physicians
prophesying that any sudden excitement
would prove fatal. Be that as it may
l pity her the remorseful feelings she
is probably mistress of to-day Wash
