CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, August H.
There lived near this city, thirty years
ago, James Starns, a sturdy young farmer
his wife and two little boys. In 1854
Starns concluded to try his fortune in
the West and went to California. Starns
wrote letters to his wife and relatives,
and she wrote to him, but neither ever
received a word from the other. Ten
years afterward Starns sent his wife $500
but the money went back to him, as no

to Taylor and Dibrell, but an effort was
made to push Mcconnell, with the hope
of breaking the ranks of the Taylor

NASHVILLE, August lin accordance
with a general understanding, several
hundred delegates from Fast Tennessee
assembled in the Olympic Theater at 10
o'clock yesterday morning. AT the hour
named, MI. W. L. L~edgerwood, of Knox
county, nominated DR.. ]. c. Haywood,
Of Jefferson county, to be temporary
chairman of the meeting. The honor
was accepted by the gentleman in well
chosen words. Three secretaries were
also selected. Upon motion 1t was decid.
ed to make the temporary organization
permanent.
Upon motion the roll Of counties Of
East Tennessee was called uponthe ques.
ton whether they should enter the cau.
Gus. About ten counties declined to thus
bind themselves and withdrew from the
hall. 1t was decided to allow to each
county vote for every hundred votes
cast for Cleveland for President, and the
two.thirds rule was adopted.
A motion was made that the delegates
from East Tennessee should vote for their
own preference on the first ballot in the
convention, but should afterwards vote
for that candidate having the largest
number Of votes. This motion was by u
large majority rejected.
AT this ~juncture there began q series of
misunderstanding and awkward situa.
tons that continued for some time.
Nearly oil those who left the convention
were adhcrents Of Bob Taylor Other Of
his adherents remained In the caucus.
Under tho circumstances 1t was with dif.
lculty that any point could be settled.

Mrs. GRANT, who is spending the sum.
mer at Long Branch, has been very much
panied by a newspaper paragraph that
has been going the rounds giving alleged
details concerning the married life of her
daughter Nellie, Mrs. Sartoris, and set.
ting out that Nellie was anxious to sepa-
rate from her husband, that she had
counseled her to do so and so on. Mrs.
Grant says there is no substantial truth
whatever in the reports. Nellie, she says,
has no thought of leaving her husband
So deeply had reports to the contrary
disturbed her NAT she had given up a
projected visit to her mother for fear
that II she came out to this country II
might be supposed that there was some
shadow of truth in the assertions so per
sistently made. Neither is 1t true, Mrs.
Grant declares, that Nellie is in peril Of
poverty, as some have said. Although
her husband has expensive tastes and
lives extravagantly, he has money enough
and his children, after his death, will
come into a large fortune that has been
ettled on them.

THE bill to TAX oleomargarine two cents
per pound has been signed by the Presi-
dent. AS q measure Of revenue for the
government the President gives the bill
his signature, but in a long message takes
the ground that the revenue Is not need
cd and II the purpose Of Congress is to
tax o%leomargarine to cur revenue then
internal taxation should be reduced on
other articles now subject to tax. Con-
grcss should have prohibited the sale Of
oleomargarino altogether or placed the
tax SO high that it could not compete with
genuine butter. The President plainly
intimates that to prohibit the manufac-
ture Of oleomargarine would be "sumptu.
ary' legislation and, of course, in oppo.
sition to Democratic party principles.
The manufacturers Of bogus butter pro.
fess to be satisfied with the bill as 1t
stands. There is no protection in 1t for
genuine butter makers.

The forest fires in Northern Wisconsin

The forest fires in Northern Wisconsin
are due to the methods pursued by the
lumbermen Of that region. Long ago
they cut down all the trees which an.
swsred their purposes, trimmed them up,
and left the trimmings behind. In the
course of time these dead branches have
become dry as finder, and only a spark
from an engine or a hunters fire was
needed to start a conilagration. The sole
consolation which II is possible to offer to
the sufferers from these fires Is that the
worst OF II Is over for them. The dried
brush, a menace wherever II lies, can only
be burned once.
