A FEW years ago Mrs. Rogers, the seattle
queen" of Texas, married as her second hus-
band a Methodist minister, a widower with
seven children. The statement is now made
that he has left the ministry and is a men,
Der of the Texas Legislature. This is a sad
fall, and should be a warning to clerical
gentlemen who think of marrying wealth.
1t is possible, of course, that this case is not
altogether hopeless, as the Texas Legisla-
ture is not the Indiana Legislature. but
general sympathy will be with the 'queen.n

THE New York Tribune's Endorsement
of Postmaster Pearson's retention by
Cleveland, four years ago, is quoted as a
reason why he ~shouldhave been retained
by President Harrison. This is absurd.
The fact that Pearson was amuch better
postmaster than any Democrat likely to
be put in his place does not prove that
another Republican could not be found

Maria Bivins, a we'll known col0red
woman residing near this town, is dead.
She was fifty-six years old. and for more
than thirty years she has been engaged in
making and selling molasses cakes, from
which she accumulated a comfortable little
fortune. Both she and her husband were
born in slavery, as were several of their
children. She had accumulated enough
money before the wal to purchase the lib
erty of herself and husband, and during
the war she made enough money out of the
federal soldiers Quartered here to purchase
her children. After the war she bought q
farm near this town, on which she employed
her husband. paying him rs cents a day
during the spring and summer months, and
so cents during the winter. She used two
barrels of flour every month in the manu-

TALK about cowboys, and Indians and
the wild West! 1t isn't from that direction
that the stories of reckless adventure, bold,
bad men and bloody fights come. Kentucky
and Virginia furnish more thrilling and
barbarous dramas than all the rest of the
country put together. The far Western
frontier is civilized in comparison with the
region that produces desperadoes of the
Bill Moran, and Hatfield, and Mccoy type.

Evidence that He is Doing His Duty.

The best evidence in the world that Mr..
Clarkson is making a good officer is found
i'm the fact that the organs and
the political street-waIkers are finding
fault with him. Mr.. Clarkson is doing his
duty. He is an able. conscientious Repub-
lican, and he is filling all vacancies with
members of his own party. OF course this
does not suit the 'mugworms,n but Mr..
Clarkson has never devoted much of his
