An Unwel come Visitor.
springfield (Mass.) Republican.


A stranger entered j. II. Adams furni-
ture store, in North Adams, yesterday, to
get picture frame and suddenly said to
Mr.. Adams: 81 am subject to spells of
being out of my head, and one of them is
coming on. Hold me while it lasts" Mr.
Adams Immediately forced the man into
chair and held him there until the fit had
passed, as he supposed, but no sooner was
the visitor released than he ferociouslv
sprang at Mr.. Adams throat and tried to
choke him. Although Mr.. Adams is q
cripple he is very powerful, and held the
man off till help arrived. The crazy man
was taken to the lookup, where he re-
manned frantic for nearly an hour. When
he regained consciousness he gave his
name as Benjamin f. Newell, of HopedaIe,
and said these crazy turns were caused by
blow he received on the head a number
of years ago, and they were more numer.
Gus and severe lately. He did not know
that he ever attempted violence before
while in this state. He remembered til NIX
ing that he would go into Mr.. Adams
store and get frame, but he did no. re-
member going In or what occurred there
He knew nothing of being taken to the
station ouse. He was all owed to go freq.
and said he would go home to his IF ends
Fortuna telY Mr.. Adams was no. injured.

ne invited me out to lunch with him. AS
he is man whose business runs away up
in the millions annually, 1 supposed he
would go to some neat restaurant and en-.
joy civilized lunch, and the belief was
made stronger when he led the way
toward the restaurant of the Palace Hotel,
the finest place Of the kind in America,
and yet the cheapest. But, alas for hui
man expectat ions! he turned to he left
and entered the bar-room. Walking I'D
to the bar, he said to the attendant:
''Give us the bones"
The barkeeper at once handed him lit.
tie round box containing five dice. He took
the box, ratified it awhile, and emptied it
upon the counter. The barkeeper drew
aside two of the dice put the other three
back in the box, and my friend spilled
them out again. Then the barkeeper put
all of them back in the box, aud passed it
over to me, with the remark, Shake" I
shook and spilled the dice, and my friend
said: 'Will you fill or throw again?n 1
thought 1 would throw again, though. I
did not know what he meant. When had
spilled the dice again he only remarked:

around to the free-lunch counter and pro-
ceeded to fill himself. l feared that he
was abs ent- minded, and remarked to him:
"Ain't you afraid you will destroy your
appetite for luuch?"
That's just what l am trying to do, or
wouldn't be eating lunch here. What do
you have for lunch at bars where you came

Usually cloves or burned coffee" an.
swered, for l had indianapolis bar-room
lunches in my mind. Then my friend in
formed me that this was the lunch that he
had invited me to, and that as it was "a
stand-up lunch" it was quite popular with
all classes.
Later in the day l was sitting in the
office of another leading merchant when a
fruit-peddler came in with his basket full
of truck on his arm. "Want anything to.
day." he asked.
'Yes, give me shake" said the mer.
chant
The peddler at once drew a dice-box
from his pocket and they proceeded to
shake, and l knew the merchant was
ahead, because the fruit dealer remarked:
"Oh, pick 'em out" The merchant took
two large apples from the basket, and,
handing me one, remarked, as the peddler
passed out:
Il don't pay for the fruit eat; In fact,
/ nearly always come out ahead of those
fellows:

Robert Peel. He was married to a
daughter of the fourth Duke of Rich

$40 900 a yeai. He was in parliament
only three years, and spent most of his
life in easy, social and benevolent
leisure, chiefly at Brighton.
Elsea Browning, aged eighty eisth

Mrs. Browning was taken suddenly sick
yesterday evening and a physician was
called, who pronounced her to be dying
When her husband heard what the physi-
clan had said he was stricken down with
grief and expired in a short time His
death was followed by that of his wife
two hours later. The couple had been
married over sixty years, and they had
lived fifty years in the same house in
which they died.
Web C. Hayes recently told a reporter
there was no significance in the visit of
his father to the president elect. The
young man said: My father 5 visit was
for the purpose of establishing a branch of
the military order of the Loyal Legion,
which he did institute with General Har-
risen as a charter member. While my
1atner mas the very highest opinion OF
General Harrison it should be understood
that when his term as president expired
he made his final retirement from public
life. This should be sufficient answer
to all reports thar he viii be invited to
place in the cabinet or any other position
under President Harrison
s. B. Elzins' name is being quietly
whispered around in New York political
circles as that of coming cabinet posi-
bility. His address before the University
of West Virginia has been published in
full in the Mail and Express, and it is
said with the object of bringing his men
tai breadth and capacity before the
thinking element of the party. It is now
being claimed that Elkins is a much
broader man than his reputation as po-
litical manager has given the public to
understand His ambition has been to
go to the senate from West Virginia and
ne could probably make that election now
by a combination with the Democrats,
who have only one majority in the legis-
lature, If the old Republicans of the
state were not jealous of his rising power.

not locate in territory within sight of
Greer, with all IFS characteristics, and
where no difhculty exists in making pur-
chases of the state under the school land
law?
If the settlers of Greer are willing to
pay 81 and So an acre for their lands with
per cent. interest on deferred pay
ments, it is strange, to say the least that
they did not, in the first instance, Sc
cure homes out of the 2S, 900 900 of acres

Mr.. Talley IS knowledge of sentiment in
Greer is said to be derived from can
yass of the county while candidate. It
is of course known fact that candi-
dates are never deceived as to public
sentiment. Still, THE GAZETTE sug-
gests that the actual settlers of Greer
county are themselves their best ex-
ponents. If they desire to purchase the
lands upon which they live at a minimum
price of 81 and So an acre, and pay per
cent, interest for forty years upon. their
purchases, they can easily say so, and
that through the columns of THE GA

TIE Fort Worth GAZETTE is getting there at a
lively rate and is making things warm for its
Dallas rival. The only thing that we have
against THE GAZETTE is political cussedness and
perversity. A first glance would lead any man
to believe that il is Republican paper. We do
not know, however, what win happen before the
close of General Harrison's great business adj
ministration, and live in hope. TIE GAZETTE

1t is quite common with Republican
newspapers to assume that all energy
and enterprise and public spirit are con-
fined within the bosom of the Republican
party, and with protection advocates
that true Americanism will die with
them. 1t seems never to occur to these
newspapers that perhaps, after all, Dem
ocrats and Republicans are very much
alike in all things, and that partisan
afiliation neither makes nor unmakes

FORMER AND THE SOUTH.

All dispatches from Indianapolis that
refer to the subject credit the president
elect with friendly feeling for Governor
Foraker of Ohio, and the indications are
strong that he viii become a member of
the new cabinet. These limitations viii
not strengthen the hope of the people of the
South for an administration that viii be
national in its purposes and methods.
Outside of his own state Governor Fora
ker is known simply by the violence aud
brutality of his utterances with respect to
the people of one section of the Union.
He has said nothing and done nothing
otherwise to commend him to national
attention. Neither Mr.. Blaine nor Mr..
Sherman have evinced fraternal spirit
toward the South, but that
each possesses high capac-
ity for leadership is not disputed
even by their foes. Of Governor Fora
ker, alone, of all those who figure in
cabinet talk, can it be said that his sole
title to national notoriety is his pitiful
display of personal hate of one section of
the Union. His appointment to a cabi-
net position would outweigh all profess
sions of fraternal feeling that might en-
anate from General Harrison or his adj
vise"s.
1t could hardly be expected of General
Harrison that he would promote to high
eminence in his administration a man
whose sole recommendation was his hos
tiIity to the East, the West or the North.
With Governor Foraker in the cabinet.
the country win have to await another
Democratic administration for the res
toration of thoroughly fraternal relations
between section and section that is go
much desired by the thoughtful elements

TEYAS AND CRLNE

1t is matter for self-gratulation to
Texans that brutal murders of the kind
of the one reported in our dispatches of
yesterday from Philadelphia, are of rare
occurrence in this state. Nowhere in the
Union is human life held IN higher esti-
nation than in Texas. Court records
will bear out the assertion that as few
murders are committed in the state from
mercenary motives as in any other state
in the Union. The court Of appeals re-
ports do not contain single case wherein
such brutality was displayed as that Of
the Philadelphia, who, assisted by his
wife, murdered his business partner for
paltry sum of money. The outside
press, that has done so much to associate
the idea of crime with the name Of the
state should do it the tardy justice to pro-
claim fact of which their columns give
daily evidence: that in the category Of
assassination, Texas stands almost, if not
quite, at the bottom of the list.

sirous of obtaining the location of our
southern eXpositions, therefore request
and authorize you in connection with
such committee of gentlemen as you

what they will do. These two main eX-

THE GREER COUNTY SETTLERS.

THE GREER COUNTY SETTLERS.
A correspondent of Greer county, Mr..
S. c. Talley, declares that THE GAZETTE
is mistaken in the assertion that the I'M
usually large immigration to Greer, dur
ing the last two years was due to the
chance of the disputed territory revert
ing to the federal government, and thus
falling within the operations of the fed
eral land laws. The reasons assigned by
this correspondent for the preponderance
of immigration to Greer are: That the
country sis admirably adopted to the
use of labor saving machinery, and the
raising of wheat, oats, sorghum and such
crops as can be made valuable in feeding
stock - that ''until the question title is
settled they neither have to pay interest
nor taxes, - and "that the land can be
put into cultivation so cheaply.'' THE
GAZETTE IS statement was grounded upon
information that it believed to be relia-
BILE. The reasons assigned by Mr. Talley
in explanation of the settlement of
Greer in advance OF its neighbors
can hardly be accepted as
satisfactory. What is said of the advan-
tages of Greer might be said with equal
truth of contiguous territory in the Pan
handle, so that this part of MIR Talley's
explanation fails altogether to explain.
The statement that the contest between
the state and the United States prevents
the collection of interest and taxes might
be met with the suggestion that ordi-
narily people do not care to make i'm
prevemeuts, invest their money and un-
dergo the hardships Of development upon
a mere chance of ownership. The ques-
ton very naturally arises: if the people
of Greer would be satisfied with an OPP
portunity TO purchase of the state under
the present terms of sale offered with re-
speet to the school lands why did they

out by skillfu1 engineers, and every ad-
vantage taken of the lay of the country
with reference to the ease of draining
Competent drainage is the first consider

level, of not less than three feet, side
bitches or tile drains are equally neces-
sary. After that, comes naturally the
question Of sand, gravel or rock, which
ever is the easiest to procure. Our roads
must not be tinkered with. If we mean
TO do any good in this way, we must do
the work in a thorough manner, and in
such fashion as that the natural obsta-
cles will be overcome as far as human
ingenuity will serve.

Deep water.
San Antonio Express.

The rivalry between. Texas ports has
very little to do With the matter. Gal
weston asks ST 800 900; Arkansas Pass
asks simply a government guarantee
that the money will be refunded when
deep water is secured by private capital
1t has no objection on earth to Galveston
receiving all that it asks; cares, in fact,
nothing about it. The same statement :,
it is presumed, viii hold good as to Gal
weston. An appropriation for one port
in no way affects the other, unless, in
deed, that appropriation be to the exclu-
sion of all other ports, and of that there
is no necessity. Arkansas Pass does not
admire the dog in the manger, and has
no desire to'play the role. The South
west has confidence in its ability to secure
deep water, and asks only that it be re-
couped in the event of success. 1t de-
sires to proceed on the no cure no pay
