The Clarksville Tobacco Leaf, OF

gingerly account of the Democratic
mass n Getting held there, Tuesday:
The Readjusters' rally yesterday did
not pan out as largely as people we're
led to believe it would from the ex-
tensive preparations that had been
made for it. True, there were several
hundred people from the country
present, and the most liberal estimate
we have heard Of the crowd on the
grounds was 1000 people. Senator
lsham G. Harris, General Bate and
Ex. Governor Marks were present.
These gentlemen made speeches to the
crowd. Music was furnished by a
Nashville band and the Mozart band,
of this city. A section of the Burns
Artillery, of Nashville, was present,
The steamer Ella came down from
Nashville, bringing about one hundred
exeursionists. Senator Harris arrived
at six o'clock Wednesday even
ing. Ex-Governor Marks came at
o'clock the same evening, at which
time General Bate was expected, but
he failed to arrive until yesterday
morning. General Bate delivered
the first speech, leaving Immediately
by special train for Guthrie, when
he took the regular train for Nash
vile. The enthusiasm was by nc
means exuberaant.

A Remarkable Career.

There died in Salem, Mass, recently,
n man whose career has been remark
able lone. Captain John Bertram was
born on the Island Of Jersey in I796.
He brought all his possessions to Salem
in handkerchief when boy. In 1914
he shipped on an American privateer.
He was taken prisoner by the British,
but was soon afterward released be-
cause OF his French birth, but was
sgain captured few weeks later, and
remained a prisoner until the war
ended. In 1924, in command OF the
schooner General Brewer, he sailed
with valuable cargo for st. Helena.
when few days out they spoke the
Lrig Elizabeth, Of Salem, Captain Story,
pound for the~ same port. Captain
Story came on board and took tea with
Captain Bertram, and each announced
his destination as Pernambuco. When
night came on Captain Bertram launched
his entire deck load OF lumber over the
,terns as to Tighten his vessel, crowded
pll sail on, and on arriving at st. He
lena sold his cargo at big profit. On
his return trip he met tho Elizabeth
bound in. His subsequent career was
one Of unbroken prosperity. He visited
almost every country on the globe,
making his fortune principally in the
gum copal trad !. His wealth is esti
mated at nearly $10,O0O,OOO.

Tommy coIps New Nose.

A little over two years ago the medi-
,al and surgical world was deeply in
lerested in the experiment Of grating
On nose. The case was that Of Thomas
o. Colt, who had lost his nose, and the
surgeon who had charge OF the case
was DR.. Thomas T. Sabine, Of Bellevue
hospital, New York. The operation
consisted Of grating the large finger Of
the left hand on to the face to supply
the place of the missing nose. In order
10 do this the finger had to be split
open, The nail removed and it had to
be held in position for three months,
when it was amputated. Later the
nostrils were formed. A short time
ago, ssTommy." as he is called, was
taken before the New York Surgical
association where, the sutures having
been removed, an examination was
made, and the operation was pro
nounced O success. The bone Of the
finger forms the bridge Of the nose.
There was but one place in the ncstril
whore the junction was not complete,
and an operation will shortly be made
TO remedy this defect,

Lace Paper.

Lace paper, like so many other articles
Of luxury, came into use only within the
last fifty years. There are very few
manufacturers, and these almost ex-
clusively in France and Germany. Al
idea of the extension Of the manufac-
ture may be formed from the fact that,
while not more than q 100, 900 francs
worth were turned out in Paris some
thirty years ago, it is now sold to the
yearly value OF from 600, 600 TO 700, 600
francs. It is exported ali over the
world, but principally to North and
South America. Next in order come
England, Spain, Italy, Russia, Austria,
etc. The material is rather costly, and
the paper has to be specially prepared
by rubbing each sheet on both sides
with soap powder, SO that they may
easily separate. Eight sheets are put
on the matrix and beaten with a small
hammer until the design is cut out.
Thirty blows are necessary to cut ten
square centimeters. Efforts have been
made to cut the paper with one stroke,
but they have been unsuccessful, and
the little leai hammers have to be re-
tanned. London Printing cnd Paper
