Secretary of State. While
they have been doing this, they have
fawned on and hattered Mr.. Bayard
so as to induce him to retain them in
office. They not only want the COM
Portable salary they draw twice a
month but they want to enjoy the ad-
vantages of their position for defeat
ing the nominee of the Democratic
party. They were terribly disappoint-
ed when Harrison was nominated.
For three years they have regarded
the "Plumed Knight" as the predes-
tined Moses to lead them to the Prom
ised Land of Republican supremacy
They had based great calculations on
a Republican victory next fall, but
they never calculated on any other
standard bearer than Mr.. Blaine. The
poignancy of their disappointment
has somewhat subsided, and they are
now on the qua vive to ingratiate
themselves with him whom they hope
will be the next President Of the Uni
ted States. They have a kindly feel
ing for Mr.. Bayard, whom many of
them regard as simple minded dupe,
for he has very generously allowed
them to hold their lucrative positions
and steal his State papers without re-
proof MIR Cleveland has been blam-
ed for this state of things, but to my
certain knowledge, the President would
be glad to see the last one of these re-
publican incumbents summarily re-
moved and succeeded by Democrats.

Mr.. sanderlfn as a campaigner.

He is remarkably good speaker
and his effort Thursday night was the
general subject of street talk yester-
day. He is particularly effective when
he opens out on the Third party, and
wherever he speaks, that party, it is
safe to say, will get but few Democatic
votes. His speech is interspersed with
genuine wit and he holds his audience
we'll. Mr.. Sanderlin is an excellent
campaigner, and it is a wonder to US
that his merits as speaker have moi
sooner brought him to the attention Of
the public. Our people exacted a prom.
ise from Mr.. Sanderlin that he would
return here during the campaign and
give US another speech. Charlotte

Gladstone's Golden Wedding.

Mr.. and Mrs. Gladstone have just

He is the greatest Chancellor of the

those of a professional iiteratus. He
is a theologian of exceptional gifts

ANDY JACKsON'S DUEL.
How He Shot and Killed Dick,ns,


General Jackson's marriage was
the cause of good deal of trouble,
both to himself and the country.
His wife was the cause of both of his
duels with Governor Sewer in 1903,
and the cause of his duel with Charles
Dickinson afterwards. Dickinson
was lawyer and a trader, a patron
of the turf, who ran his horses and
bet money on them. He was bright,
enterprising and popular, and report
ed to be the best pistol shot in Ten
nessee. He had for some reason con-
ceived dislike to General Jackson,
and when drinking made remarks
about him. The general knew this,

to offer a substitute for the Mills bill
within the next few days. The Fl
nance Committee OF the Senate have
been preparing this bill for several
weeks. The outline of the bill has not
yet been given by authority to the
public, but it is pretty we'll known
that it will deal principally with the
internal revenue and the sugar duty.
The tariff will be very slightly reduc-
ed. When this substitute is intro
duced into the Senate there will be
much anxiety felt among the Republi-
cans throughout the country. That
party in the Senate is more divided
ON this subject than the Democrats
were in the House. The outcome of
the vote is looked for with great inter-
est.
Col. James Stepheson, prominent
and experienced officer OF the Geolog-
ical Survey, will be buried here to-day.
He died in New York OF heart disease.
He collected many of the most inter
esting articles now on exhibition in

:. Since the passage of the Mills bill,
it has been next to impossible to get
a quorum in the House. When Mr..
Brewer voted for that bill, he was
very pale and nervous. 1t was evil
dent to number OF people that he
was very uncertain and very mnch
distul bed as to what course he should
pursue. 1T has been remarked to me
by a number of Congressman that al
though he voted for the Mills bill as
whole, he did not vote for single
amendment offered by the Democratic
members of our delegation, proposing
to lift the burdens Of the internal rev.
enue system, specified in these several
amendments. This course must strike
the voters of your CongI essional dis

To Mako Your own Perfumes.

Our grandmothers well knew the de-
light of stealing the perfume from the
flowers, n their "stin room" where were,
all c~onveniences for this, was a part of
the machinery of every home. In our
country vast quantities of flowers go to
waste and we send to France for our per-
fumes, yet nothing is easier nor more
womanly than to make the perfumes from
flowers which we use. Into a large,
fat, clean earthenware vessel pour some
purified fat lard and suet mixed, warmed
sufficiently to make it liquid. Throw
into it as many scented flowers of one
kind as it will contain. Let remain
twenty-four hours covered, Their strain
off the fat and add more flowers, repeat
ing the process every day for a week.
The method of liberating this essence of
flowers from the fat is very simple. Per-
NIT it to harden, cut it into small cubes
and put into spirits of wine. The deli
cate odor Immediately transfers itself
from the coarse fat to the spirituous SOL
vent, and such a strength of perfume is
procured with little trouble as would cost
a great deal at a perfumer's.-"S. s. E.
