professional name of Reno" enacted
an entirely new contortlon act. He in
troduced himself from a tree, perform

statuesque performances by members
of the club, in which wonderful
strength and agility was shown. Otto

ing 260 pounds with his teeth. He also
lifted cssk weighing 500 pounds, and
a chair with a man sitting on 1t. G..

FIFTH ANNIVERSARY.
Mr.. and Mrs. RolIin Kelley, of Gaines,
Happily Surprised.


October %, 1875. was one of the
most eventful days in the lives of Mr..
and Mrs. Ro!lin Kelley. OF Gaines
township. On that day a ceremony was
performed and RCllin Kelley and Miss
Emma Hamp were pronounced man

all these were Mr.. and Mrs. K. c. Ses-

Middlebury register. (Middlebury, Vt.) 1886-1937, 1890-06-06

In that year the occasion arose which af-
forded the opportunity for the develop
ment of those latent abilities which have
since caused him to be regarded at the
south as the most unique-if not remarka-
ble-political figure of the decade. Till
man has been farmer and a compare
lively successful one all his life, and when,
in 1886, he concluded that the agricultural
department of the state was useless as
then conducted he did not hesitate to say
SO. He spoke against the department,
wrote against it and worked against it,
In this, his first crusade, he succeeded in
bringing about a reorganization of the de-
partment, and at the same time attracting
attention to himself as a man of ability.
Every one then recognized that this farmer
could exercise powerful influence when
ever he chose to exert it. Many thought
that he wanted office and would soon show
his hand, but they were mistaken. Till
man subsidized after the attainment of his
point in the agricultural department
matter and was not heard from again I'M
til two years later, in 1883, when he inau-
gurated IA crusade in favor of an agricul-
tural college, the funds and site for the
founding of which had been left to the
state by Mr. Clemson, who had inherited
the old Calhoun homestead Fort Hill)
from his wife, who was a daughter of
South Cardinals statesman.
Mr.. Tillman worked unremittingly for
the Clemson college, and with such good
effect that the appropriation was made
by the last legislature and the build
ings will soon be erected. The plans
are nearly completed already. Tillman
again remained comparatively quiet until
March 81 of the present year, when reg
ular state convention of farmers was held
at Columbia. Representation in this con-
vention was the same as in the regular gath
erings of the Democratic party. Tillman
was unanimously named as proper can
date to be selected for governor by the Dem
ocratic state convention, which will be held
! Sept. 10. The farmers convention also
pledged itself to abide by the choice of the
| September convention, and to work for its
nominee, whoever he may be.
Ben Tillman is not a man of imposing
appearance. He is 8 feet 10 inches in
height and weighs l65 pounds One shoulder
droops somewhat and he has only one eye.
He is very impressive speaker, has a
clear, ringing light baritone voice, which
he knows how to use; he has never held @
political office, is As years DID, and no word
has ever been breathed against his personal
character. He is married, has several chill
dren and lives on his own farm, few
miles back from the little railway station
of Ropers, Edgefield county

A Porter who Sees the seamy Side.

at was dat bald headed ole man wild
de yeller chin whiskers," said the colored
porter of the Pullman car, with regretful
cadence, as he leaned against the water
cooler and famed his heated brow with
a soiled towel. "What wasT asked a
sympathetic passenger.
''De ole wretch wot guy me TO cents.
He's gwine to git off at Ro'way, and
seed him dallyin' wild seben quo'ters a
few minutes ago, and done glib him a
hart dollar brush. Deed l did. Brushed
his hat and coat and scratched nine mud
spots off his obercoat, and den he pulls
out dem 70 cents, and says he, Sorry

weary look. "dey talk about de po'ters,
but we all cert'nally sees de seamy side.
Yo' git yo' hope way up, and youse gwine
shure huff to git it squashed."
And then, with the air of man whose
reward is not in this world, the saddened
porter went back into the car and told a
little man with red whiskers to stand up
and be brushed.-New York Tribune.

Dignity without Fun in the Senate.

To pres lie over the senate is one of the
least profitable and least interesting &C.
equations public man can have, espe-
cially when he has not the right to vote,
but only to sit as a figure head-a SYM
boil of authority. The dignity of the po-
sition, of course makes it one that most
any American citizen would be glad to
occupy, but it is seldom the desire Of
either the vice president or the president
pro tenn. to occupy the chair at all times
during the session. For instance, if a
speech is to be delivered by some gentle
man who prolongs the interest of his
topic in diluted quantities through many
hours, the presiding officer has nothing
to do but to sit in the chair and try to
appear to pay attention and to keep him
self from going to sleep.
Ingalls,, it is said, used to stick pins in
his legs now and then on such occasions
when he felt himself getting drowsy. 1t
is customary, however, when anything
particularly dreary is to occupy the SEN
ate, for the presiding officer to call upon
some member to act as his substitute in
the chair. The older men understand
very well that they are being made a
convenience of when called to preside in
this way, and they are not usually fiat
tered by the distinction, but the new
senator is apt to be ready victim for
the sacrifce.-Cor. Philadelphia Tele.

Phosphorus in Fish Meat.

Fish meat, according to Professor At
waters researches, does not contain more
phosphorus than ordinary butchers meat.
The benefit which brain workers are said
to derive from diet of fish should there
fore be ascribed, not to the phosphorus,
but to the greater digestibility of the
fish. The excess of phosphorus in the
urine of such persons need not be regard
ed as a resultant of brain work, but rs an
indication of the disordered digestion to
which sedentary persons are liable. The
recent researches of Zuelzer and Others
seem to indicate that excessive elimina-
ton of phosphorus by the urine is asso-
ciated with nervous depression rather
than with nerve activity.-Christian at

Real and Stage Proposals.

"They talk about realism being ram
pant in later day stage productions" said
q man who leaned over the back row Of
seats the other evening, and by that act
proclaimed himself theatrical rounder,
"but fail to see it. Stage realism, as /
understand it, means the counterfeit Of
reality in private life. Now, want to
know If ever lover off the stage got be-
hind his girls chair when he wanted to
propose to her like that one did in the
second act just nowr Some way or other
stage lovers always get around behind
their girls and pour out their passionate
tale over the fair ones shoulder. And
then they appear to be surprised when
the girl rejects them; but I'm not. If !
was girl l would not only reject a
lover who got behind me to propose and
talked over my shoulder, but would set
the dog on him to boot. Yes, l would.
81 tell you there's only just one way
to propose to girl-Pve had experience,
and know: You've got to get mighty
affectionate and snugglesome before
hand, and before you spring the i'm
portant question you've got to get her
waist in chancery, as it were, while you
patty cake palms with the disengaged
hand. Then you must look soulfully
into her eyes and let it go. Under such
circumstances man can talk in way
that no girl of heart can resist, and be-
fore you know it she has said yes and
you've kissed her and it's all fixed. Com
pared to this method the stage lovers
way is as sawdust pudding to tapioca.

npersonalappeara plain, without any

that he has more warm friends and bitter

will all have been due to his own exertions
