KNOXVILLE, Tenn, May 81, 81.
W. A Harper, Chief of Police,
DEAR SIR: I am now fully convinced
that the Sunday law is, and has been, shame
fully abused by some of our saloon-keepers,
of which fact our police must certainly have
some knowledge.
You are therefore ordered to inform the
police force under you that if, on Sunday
next, this law is not strictly enforced and
such vioiators brought to justice, will, al
once, suspend the entire force of police and
in the meantime, substitute such men as will
fearlessly carry out our laws and protect the
city, in which act I know in advance, oru
council will sustain me. You will render
me favor if you can save me from per-
forming this unpleasant duty.
Respectfully,
PETER STAUB, Mayor.

A SENATOR SUPPORTED By
TERRAPINS.
Atlanta Constitution.

I have just heard Of an instance
where United States Senator ID
supported by terrapins. Senator
Dennis, Of Maryland, as my infor-
mant goes, has about twelve acres
OF land down in a pond that is fed
BY salt water. This pond makes
the largest terrapin farm probably
in the world, and it is the source Of
heavy income. In it terrapins are
raired for the market, and It is said
that over $4,000 "counts" have been
sold from it in one year. 1t may
be noted for the benefit of the unin-
itiated, that a ''count'' is a terrapln
over seven inches in length; and
that "counts'' are sold by number,
bringing from $40 to $14 q dozen, or
about 81 each. In market they re-
tail for about $40 a dozen; and in
the fashionable restaurants are
served at $1.30 plate, one terrapin
filling three plates. Smaller terra
pins are sold at lower figures, but
all bring good figures, and are "dia-
mond" backs in fact as we'll an in
name. There are several terrapin
ponds in Maryland, and they grow
in Importance, as "terrapin stew,
Maryland STYLE" IS becoming more
aud more popular among high
liYers.
