Pretty Love Affair Of Secretary Lamar
the Gentleman In Macon.

Pretty Love Ahatr or secretary Aanlar-
the Gentleman In Macon.
MACON, GA, April l4.-Hon. L. Q.
&. Lamar, Secretary of the Interior in
Cleveland's cabinet, arrived in Macon
this morning at $50 O'Clock. He was
met at the depot by Col. VIM. Il. Ross.
Anderson w. Reese and Col. Albert R.
Lamar. After the compliments of the
day, Col Lamar was taken IN charge by
Mr.. Reese and driven to his elegant
home on Washington avenue. He will
be the guest Of Mr. Reese to-day and to-
nighG, and tomorrow and tomorrow
night he will be the guest of MIR. Ross.
Tomorrow evening Mr.. Ross will invite
few friends to his residence. Beyond
this no public reception will be rendered
him. Col. Lamar was born in Putnam
county, September II, 1925. He was
educated at Oxford, after which he
moved to this city. studied law and was
admitted to the bar in 1S47. He after
wards moved to Mississippi, where he
has resided since. He served through
part of the war, when he resigned to 60
to England on an important mission for
the Confederate Government. Colonel
Lamar says his visit South is not a po-
litical one in any sense. and is more OF
social nature. Indeed. those who are
in a position to know. say that he will
soon be united in marrlrge to Macon
lady. AS the romance goes, they were
engaged to be married in the long ago;
they were parted for some trivial reason;
each married; the husband and wife are
both dead: now, after years, the two
hearts which beat together in unison
then, will be united in marriage. He
will remain in the city two or three

For some time the Montreal police

he heard the burglar alarm ringing while
at work, but continued on, as lie knew
the parties were at church. At an
other time he entered store through
bars six inches apart. Money was his
first choice. but when he couldn't find
that, silks and jewclrY We're taken. He

He not only kept out of the clutches Of
the officers. but had hidden his booty so

MURDER OF A BISHOP
by /. Priest Mt the very Door Of the Cathe-
dral.

dral.
MADRID, April lS.-This morning
while the Bishop of Madrid was ascend
inc the steps leading to the entrance OF
the Cathedral he was shot with revol-
yer by a priest standing at the top step,
the ball entering his abdomen. This was
followed by another shot from the same
source, striking the bishop in the side,
whereupon the wounded man fell on the
steps. The priest then descended the
steps and fired still another shot, which
took effect in the bishops thigh. The
priest was then seized. putting a stop to
his murderous work, and his victim was
borne unconscious to private chamber
in the cathedral, where the last sacra-
mcnts for the dying were administered
to him. Being Palm Sunday the cathe-
dral was more than usually crowded by
worshlppers, and when the fearful work
of the priest was realized Il furious mob
followed the carriage in which he was
conveyed to prison by the gendarmes,
whose presence alone prevented the
lynching Of the would-be murderer.
The motive for the crime was revnge.
The man who fired the shots was recent
" dismissed from the priesthood and
had fruitlessly applied to the bishop to
be reinstated. Queen Christina has
inquired as to the bishops condition.
The Pope has telegraphed his blessing.
The bishop is still alive. The priest
made m attempt to commit suicide.

At the Seth annual conference Of the
Norman church. held last week. 5000
persons attended. The speeches made
and resolutions adopted made parallels
between the Norman leaders and the
prophets OF the bible. 1t was declared
that Taylor, Cannon and others of the
Norman leaders are as truly prophets
as Noah. Enoch and Elijah and the
absence of the latter day saints was cX-
cused on the ground that they had the
example of the earlier prophets to justi-
fy them in hiding from the prosecutions
of the wlcked-to wit, the United States
court where indictment for blgamy arc
pending against them.

THE DRAFT HORSES OF FRANCE.
While some people in America call all
horses imported from France Norman,
it is fact that there 10 no breed in
France called by that name by the
French people ; the name, Norman,
therefore, is purely American. Tho
principal breeds Of France arc known
az Percherons and Roullanais. The
Percberons are the most highly priced
Of all French races, and all depart
ments of France 60 to the Perche for
stations to improve their local breeds.
The Percheron Stud book Of France,
published under the authority of the
French Government, 10 the only stud
book of draft horses that is or ever has
been published in France, and now
contains the pedigrees of about 5000
animals. But some importers are Of
fering certificates from France of Nor
man draft horses that may mislead
people who do not understand the
French language into believing these
records Of origin. Not one of them
issued contains q pedigree. They are
furnished at the request Of American
buyers by the secretary of one Of the
French Agricultural societies, who
says there is no intention Of publish
ing them in stud book form, as they
have no pedigrees and are Of no value
whatever. 1t is well known fact that
what Q man gives for horse over from
$500 to $800-ths price of good
grade--is paid for purity Of blood; and
where the seller is not able TO give the
recorded pedigree of the animal sold
m evidence of additional value, he has
no right to ask 1t. With these facts
before him, no intelligent man will
buy horse imported from France un-
less he is recorded with his pedigree
in full in the Percheron Stud Book Of
France.

she was taken back to the family pew,

position to the other end Of the pew,
away from the aisle, and whispered to
her aunt: "If he don't come real near
| shall keep the money myself" 1t is
needless to say that the contribution
box did not come near enough.
A bright little girl was strolling
rround the neighborhood on tour of
