A Great Man in Georgia.
From Ire Washington Critic,


In certain section of Georgia senator Joe
Brown is held to be something higher than
earth. something greater than man; and
through this section an Atlantic newspaper
man OF a religious turn Of mind (there Is only
one in Atlanta, and he isn't there now had
occasion to travel. One Sunday he attended
country sunday school. and was called on
to speak, and TO interest the scholars he asked
them questions between his remarks.
Who made the great big wOrld?' he asked
under the subject "Creation."
God, answered the whole school.
And who made the pretty stars and the
great yellow moon to shine by night, and the
beautiful silver sun to shine by day."
Cod" said all the children again.
Correct" he said, pleasantly.
And now, children, who made God?"
This was poser, and the school was silent
for full minute, when small hand belong
ing the postmaster's small boy went up.
"Ah, my bov," smiled the catechizer, ''You
can answer, can you? Well, now, tell us who
made God"
Joe Brown did," piped the boy, and all the
scholars in the school looked ashamed of
themselves for being so ignorant, and even
the teachers seemed provoked that the post
masters boy had taken the honors.

From The 50. james Gasette.

rum tto Cts UuHtoo UuSotto'
Mr.. Maclaren, a gamekeeper of Wick. in
Caithnessshire. the other day had a narrow
escape OF his life from an attack made upon
him by weasels on Mr.. Clyne's field on the
farm of Stlrkoke. While he was on his knees
setting q mole trap he was suddenly surprised
bya strange sound, as if coming from hive
of bees at his back and Immediately a swarm
OF weasels appeared on either side of MIN and
began to climb upon him. Instantly realizing
the dangerous position in which he was
placed, he sDrang TO his feet; but meantime
the animals attacked him with the utmost
ferocty, screaming as II in great rage. Mac
laren. with stick which he carried, struck
them from his legs, killing no fewer than nine
of them. AS showing the desperate nature of
the encounter, the correspondent states that
Maclaren's legs were black and blue above
the knee from the strokes Of the stick. There
seemed to be two young broods located near
the hedge, and as many escaped as were
killed. Maclaren brought home eight of the
animals as evidence Of the battle. This is the
second time he has been attacked by weasels.
On the first occasion he had to retreat to save
hia life

four cherry trees loaded with the red fruit,
and in the branches OF every tree was boy

AS regards the conclusion OF the Cutting iu-

the line of Secretary Bayard's desires, now
that the case has passed out OF the local court
and into the hands of the MeXlcsn federal

That is a rather remarkable story which
a Cincinnati paper publishes about a
laborer named Charles Russell, finding
last Tuesday, while attending a boulder
crushing machine in a street OF that city,
a diamond worth 100000. Stone is being
used from the Georgia stone quarries, for
paving purposes in Cincinnati, but in
order to allay any excitement in the VII
entity of the quarries 1t might be as we'll
to state that in Cincinnati it is conJec-
tured that the diamond is the one that
was lost at Blennerhassett Island in 1906
by Mrs. Clark, who visited there with
Aaron Burr, as described by Burr in
published letter to his daughter, the
theory being that the stone became i'm
bedded in boulder which was taken to
Cincinnati for paving purposes.

front again. Another fishing schooner
has been seized on the Canadian coast

more plainly and firmly to England about

Cured between them. 1t was said at the

Cleveland Convention.

A Chicago knight on the Work of the
Cleveland Convention.
CHICAGO, June 7.-Mr. John Foley, an
active and prominent Chicago Knight of
Labor, returned Friday morning from the
Cleveland convention.
"What, in your opinion, was the most i'm
portant work of the convention:" was asked
Of Mr. Foley.
"That it showed Mr.. Powderly to be
virtually the unanimous choice of the mem
bers to remain at the head of the order. It
has been reported in some papers that the
new members of the executive board are
extremists, and opposed General Master
Workman Powderly, but such a statement
Is not true They are his friends. They
are in harmony with his views, and will use
their influence and power to keep him at the
head Of the order"
The boycotting power, Mr.. Foley added,
was taken out of the hands of the local,
district, and state assemblies and put into
the hands of the general assembly. In the
future committee will investigate COM
plants, and if there is found to be reason
for o boycott, it will be done in quiet and
effective way, and will strike a man
hard. If any strike is ordered hereafter by
any assembly that does not apply to the
proper authority and have the question
passed upon, it will not be recognized. Lo-
cal assemblies will have to apply to the dis
trict assembly, and their Representatives in
the latter body will vote upon the question
at issue and accept or reject it
