Senator for Sixty Seconds.

Atlanta Constitution: Did you ever
hearof a man who was United States
senator for just one minuteP The Con-
stitution had a visitor yesterday with
that record-ex-Gov. Walker, of Flor
ida. In happened in this way: In
1874 the legislature was Republican by
one majority. Gov. Walker was the
Democratic candidate for senator. At
ter tedious balloting a Republican
member from Tallahassee, named Az
cry, voted Walker This elected
him. When the ballot was closed the
crowd became wild with enthusiasm.
The cheering, which lasted fully a min
ute, prevented the chairman from an
nouncing the vote. In the meantime
the Republicans had surrounded Avery,
and he soon declared that he had not
voted for Gov. Walker, but for Sam
Walker, a small Republican politician
about town. This left Gov. " alker
one short of an election. Finally, Mr.
Jones, the present senator, was put up.
captured the needed vote and was cleo
ted.

New YORK, oct. 30.-The Commercial Ad-

story, for the truth of which Mr.. Roosevelt
will vouch, is in circulation On last Friday
O'Donnoyan Rosa called upon Roosevelt
and offered to furnish him the hearty support
Of his paper, and the vote Of secret societies
he could control, II Roosevelt would give him
two checks, a small one for the cause Of Ire

was to be dated after election, so that Roose-
welt might cancel IT If be were not elected.
The check for Rosa, on the contrary, was to
be dated properly so that i could be used at
once"

OTTAWA, Nov. Lit Is understood that an
effort will soon be made by the dominion
to induce the American govern
ment o consider the draft of the proposed
eXtradition treaty between Canada and the
United States. Several amendments calcu-
lated To prove acceptable will be submitted,
In official circles here il is stated that the
last draft was deliberately rejected by a small
clique on the ostensible ground that IL might
affect political liberty, although it was eX-
pressly provided that the draft should not
cover political o~ffcnses. The federal govern
ment Is opposed to the present condition of
affairs, and would readily agree 10 any meas
ure rendering the present harbor of refuge for
criminals impossible.

noise like thunder at a distance, and was ac-
companied by two t~olerably light but distinct
vibrations. The second shock occurred AT 3:40

tremors were only Of a few seconds duration.
Considerable disappointment of feeling is felt
at this revival Of the disturbances, as il was
confidently thought that the advent Of the
present cool weather had ended them. Until
Saturday night no shocks had been felt here
since October %, with The exception Of a few
slight trcmors which were scarcely notice.

Swiss Cattle.

We are apt to speak and write OF
Swiss cattle as if there were but one
race known among The verdant valleys
and alpine pastures of the brave little
republic. In reality, there are two or
three distinct types and many strains
exhibiting quite dist net characteristics.
each peculiarly at home in some partic-
ular canton or valley, or part of II
canton. AS we remember them. they
possess two characteristics common to
an-namely. good milking qualities and
coarseness of bone. They are of var;'
Gus colors; some, much broken with
white; some are very large, fully equal
ing in size the largest Short-horns. As
rule, the horns are short, If not small
though we believe some OF the breeds
of the southern cantons. near the
Italian or Piedmont frontier, have long.
slender horns, somewhat like those of
the Italian breeds. In the mountain
cantons, the cattle are stabbed in win
ter. and rs soou as the heritage is fit for
pasturage upon the Alps. which is al
most as soon as the snow mclts, they
are driven thither. In Switzerland, an
Alp" is a high II or mountain, COW
cred with soil and adapted to pastur.
age. The Alps are often round topped
and in summer free from snow. They
are kept moist by the mountain mists
formed by the snowcapped peaks about
them, and by occasional showers. The
outside world calls the peaks or
''horns" Alps, but the true Alps are the
mountain-top pastures. which in some
cantons are abundant and beautiful.
Among them are the dairy houses and
shelters for cattle, and here tho herds
men and women pass the. summer in
cheese and butter making following
the most primitive methods. Many Of
the cows carry large bells of peculiar
egg shape attached to bands, often six
or eight inches wide and deliberately
ornamentcd, placed about their neckS

Married.

Justice Schulz yesterday afternoon
late married couple, j. Stephens and
Mary Collins. The ceremony was very
solemn and impressive, but the lecture
was too long no matter how appropri-
ate the words and ideas and precepts
sought to be inculcated. The minister
or official performing the marriage
rite should remember that modest
young girl is on tenter hooks during
the whole time especially when there
is gaping crowd Of strangers gazing
at her, some Of them giggling and glib
bering like monkeys. And it is no
pleasant situation for the groom. He
is under a strain too. Marriage is not
a sacrament, it is only civil contract
in so far as the law is concerned and
twenty words are sufficient under the
law to make man and woman hus-
band and wife. 1t is prcsumable that
every man and woman when about to
marry understand fully the sanctlty OF
the relations they are about to assume
and the responsibilities they mutually
incur, without the man who joins them
together going back to Adam and
coming up to date in his exhortations
on fidelity and truth and affection one
to the other; and his disquisition on
the sanctity of the marital rite and
obligations, and the beauties and
and the sweetnesses thereof when
there is mutual love and affec-
ton and confidence and perfect faith
and trust one in the other.
Mr.. Stephens lives in Waxahachie
and there he and his bride will live.

piness with no troubles but little ones.
