He Spent Yesterday In Memphis, but
Would Not Tell Why in Full.


Would Not Tell Why in Full.
The Hon. d. A. Num-, Internal Reve.

Memphis yesterday morning and disap-
peared in the afternoon, returning TO the
good people OF Brownsville.
What Col. Num- was here for he was
discreet enough TO keep from the ears Of
lnquiring newspaper reporters, though he
endeayored to make the disappointment
as light as possible.
To an APPEAL reporter who encountered
him in the office OF United States District
Attorney Hawkins, he stated, in reply to
questions:

York and Brooklyn are engaged as the sole
manufacturers in many multiplied descrip-

wether was also peculiarly happy in her
reference to woman's place in the church
when it was yet a simple institution, for
mulated upon the plain plan OF the gospels
and almost within tho sound OF the voice
of the Christ. Equality OF sex was then
a distinguishing sign and evidence Of
Christianity, as distinguishing as tho high
moral feeling which lifted the Christian
above the evil and the grossness by which
he was surrounded. AS TO the fable about
Eve, no one OF any breadth Of scholarship
or thought now thinks Of banking upon it,
unless, like Mr.. Allen, he has q purpose
that may best be subsorved by its use. In
much the same spirit as Mrs. Meriwether
revives in her reference TO the historic
fact Of the Council Of Macon, where
ninety-live bishops, after grave discussion,
settled the status OF woman as inferior and

THE DeSoto Times still continues TO be-

says that II "Desoto County does not send

to manifest the interest necessary to con-
summate their wishes. Conscious strength
