Lawyers are sometimes obliged to
study up matters that they never
dreamed would have to when porting
over law books in their youth. For
instance, Gen. Is. +. Butler-may his
chances for the Presidency never grow
less-was recently retained as counsel
in a case regarding the infringement
of q patent for skirt protector" and
in consequence thereof had to devote
his really great mind to an exhaust
i've study Of the mysteries of feminine
apparel. In due time he urged thu
case at Washington, illustrating his
plea with several large dolls, ele CANT
ly dressed, on each of which was ont
Of the skirt supporters. 1t must have
been better than a dime museum
type-setting match to listen to rart
old Ben's remarks and watch hin
gazing at those dolls with his of-eyt
while focusing the jury with the eye
that looks straight ahead. 1t requires
a man of more than ordinary ability
to talk Understandings about skirt
supporters, painers, chemiloons, glove
fitting corsets and the multitudniou'
etcetera that go to make lovely WON
an happy, and Ben has demonstrated
that nothing is too abstruse for hin
to tackle, from ships tackle to sill
YER spoons or from politics to poor
house. By the way, it is said that h
was recently caught reading the COS

Robbing Himself.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn, March 28.-
Last Friday afternoon, j. II. Justis,
Trustee of Granger county, went TO
his house, about ten miles from Rut-
ledge, the county seat, and left a
package containing $4,000 of public
funds with his wife, saying that he
would be absent from home perhaps
several days OH business, and charg-
ing her not to allow any one to stay
at the house while he was away.
About dusk young Irish peddler,
who had been in the habit of putting
up at Justis' mansion, came along,
and Mrs. Justis knowing him to be
trustworthy, extended him the usual
hospitality. About midnight the
peddler was aroused by the presence
of some one in the house. In the
moonlight he discerned the face oil
u large, burly negro. He pro.
ceeded at once to drive the intruder
out, and was finally compelled to
shoot him in self.defense. The neigh.
borhood was aroused, and it was dis.
covered that the dead man was none
other than Justis himself,in the guise
of negro. Justis was well-knowi
and had the confidence of all his con
stituents. The affair has created {
genuine sensation.

Who Hoyle Was.


According to Hoyle," is a COM
mon phrase, and "Hoyle's games" are
widely known; but many Cardplay-
ers labor under the impression that
Hoyle was reformed gambler, who
turned his attention to bookmaking
as means to keep out of the poor
house. Edmond Hoyle was a Lon
doner who died In 1896 aged 81. He
was among the first who took an in
terest, did much to perfect the game,
and after it became a craze devoted
several years to teaching it at a
guinea a lesson. He was paid $1,000
for his treatment GU whist, published
in l743, when he held government
Office in Ireland. Toward the close
of his life he revised it and included
other games.

Girls Rooms.

A look into the girls room will
give an idea of what kind of a wo.
man she will probably become. A
girl who keeps her clothing hung up
neatly, whose room is clean, will be
very apt to make good wife and q
successful woman. Order and neat.
ness are essential 10 our comfort as
well as to that of others about us. A
girl who throws down her things
anywhere, will do things in sloven-
ly, careless way. A girl who does
not make her bed till after dinner
and she should always make it her
self rather than have a servant to dc
it, and throws her dress or bonnet
down in a chair, will make a poor
wife nine cases out of ten. If all the
world could see how girl keeps hei
dressing-room many unhappy mar
riages would be saved. Always be
tidy about your person and youl
room as if all your friends could al
ways see you. Get into the habit Of
order and neatness, and it will CONT
easy in life afterwards.

OVER TWO THOUSAND DOL.

That is What the Troops at Green
wood Have Cost 50 Far-the

Talk with Gen. Cas-
tleman.
Times, 2Tth.l

lllhcsf @'tH'I
The number of troops still station
ed at Greenwood protecting the con-
victs in the mines there is sixty-tive.
Thirty of these have been on duty
eighteen days and the remainder ten
days. The average cost for main
tanning the entire number, Gen. Cas-
tleman states, is $l25 day, and the
total amount expended so far by the
State has been considerably over
$4,000, the cost of getting the troops
IN readiness and conveying them to
the mines having been considerable.
Gen. Castleman was seen by a Times
reporter this morning and said:
II have no idea how long the Gov
ernor will keep the troops there. or
how long the circumstances will JUS
tify their remaining. They will be
kept there until all danger of inter-
ference with the convicts is passed
There is not the slightest danger of
an outbreak as long as the men are
stationed there, but cannot say what
would happen in case they are re-
moved. Nearly all of those compos-
ing the militia are young business
men, and considerable sacrifice on
their part is necessary. A number
of them are clerks, and entertain fear
of losing their positions, but do not
think their uneasiness on that score
is well founded. In all my experience
with the militia in this State have
only found two men mean enough to
discharge employees because they be-
longed TO the State Guards and had
to respond to the call of duty in pre-
serving the peace and dignity of the
Commonwealth. We have these two
men in our list as models of mean
ness. One thing is assured: The
troops will be called in just as soon
as the circumstances justify such a
course"

THE WEED,
General Tobacco News.
DISCOVERY.

DISCOVERY.
The discovery of tobacco by the
Europeans like the discovery OF
America can be attributed to Column
bus. In November, 1892, two sail
ors were sentb by Columbus into Cuba
OH an exploring expedition, and they
related upon their return, among the
other wonders which attracted their
observation, a custom which was
prevalent with the natives, of pulling
smoke from their mouths and noses.
Upon more intimate acquaintance
with the natives they found that they
burned the dried leaves of a weed or
herb in hollow canes, from which
they pulled the smoke, and the word
"tobacco" was derived from the
name by which these primitive pipes
were known. The weed, which has
above all others established itself in
the affections of the people. has been
greatly abused because of certain in
furious qualities which it has been
claimed to contain, but it may be of
interest to its friends to know that a
chemical analysis establishes it
in the position of first cousin to the
common Irish potato so far as it poi
sonous qualities are concerned.
The use of tobacco was introduced
into England by Sir Walter Raleigh /;
now, the smoke from this weed watts
its fragrant breath from one end of
the world to the other.
The market this week for dark to-
bacco has not developed any new
features, and the same dullness and
low range of values for common to-
bacco, which has existed for some
time past, still hangs over the mar
ket without any very cheering pros
poets. The better grades of dark
leaf hold their position without any
indications of weakening. A few
extra fine hogsheads of dark wrap
pers have been sold on this market
within the past few days at extreme
ly high prices. Sales for the week
AMOUNT to 2,752 hogsheads. Sales
since January LIST, 35,303 hogsheads.

TERDAN,

The continued case OF G.. II. T.
Deuring, charged with intending
unlawfully to impede and obstruct
the administration of justice in the
Ciuverius case, inasmuch as, ac-
cordlng to the charge against him,
he "did then and there unlawfully
and corruptly c0nspire and con-
federate and agree with some per-
son or persons unknown, to offer
to Herman Joel money, and there
by attempt to persuade and induce
the said Herman Joel to make a
false statement to the Governor OF

against him, the said 7. j. Cluve.
RUS having been sentenced for
murder by the Hastings Court of
the city of Richmond" was tried
in the Police Court yesterday even
ing.
Mr.. Herman Joel reiterated the
testimony before given, that Deur-
ing attempted to bribe him to for
get what he knew about the watch
key when called before Governor
Lee.
Officer Chesterman, who was I'M
der the counter during the second
interview Of Duering with Joel,
cOrrobOrated the latter's statement.
After the testimony was received,

submit the case upon the evidence
given, but asked that the accused
be sent on to the grand jury.
Mr. Edmund Waddill, of counsel
for defendant, asked upon what
charge.
Mr.. Allan replied conspiracy"
The Justice said he would send
Deuring on to the grand jury on
the warrant against him.
