Wasn't he suspended from college
because stolen examination papers were
found in his desk? And doesn't that,
coupled with the fact that he was the
only student in his class who received
one hundred per cent, in his studies,
prove him guilty?" irsscibly questioned
my iery-tempered uncle.

Cherry for their faith in my integrity

this, to me, most notable Thanksgiving
eve.
Slowly, sweetly through the clear,
frosty air, over the heads OF the gaunt
elms that fringed the village church

WASHINGTON, May t. The statistical
returns of the Department. of agriculture
for May, relative to cotton, report the
progress of planting and conditions af-
fecting termination. Planting is late
except in the Carolinas. In Georgia it
is scarcely up to the average at this
date the delay being caused by draught
difficulty of plowing and slow germina-
ton.
From Alabama westward serious de-
lays have occurred from excessive rains,
overflow of bottom lands and floods from
the rise of great rivers. Replanting is
necessary where the seed has rotted in
the ground. Great scarcity of seed Is
reported i'll parts of Tennessee.
Usually nearly seyen-eights Of the
cotton area is seeded before the close of
April. This year only three-fourths has
been planted.
The proportions in the several states
are reported as follows:
Virginia, 55 per cent; South Carolina,
SO; Georgia, So: Florida 81; Alabama,
So; Mississippi, 50; Louisiana, Gj; Texas,
Is; Arkansas, go; Tennessee. 81; aver
age, 15.S per cent.
In the Mississippi liver bottom lands

flows prevents planting, which will be

Owes Him $4,000.

PHILADELPHIA, May IA special
from Washington to the Press says that
the second comptroller Of the treasury
department has just discovered that the
government is indebted TO Gen. John G.
Fremont in the sum of $2l 900. For
many years the treasury department has
charged Gen. Fremont with $4,000 for
which it was thought no voucher has
been issued. When Gen. Fremont was
placed upon the retired list, under
special act of congress recently, he
called at the treasury department to say
that if his pay was held back to make up
this $4,000 balance, he would be left in
want.
A few days ago he called on the sec
ond comptroller to see what conclusion
had been reached. The second comp
troller told him that twd vouchers had
been discovered, which proved that in
stead of a debt of $4,000 there was a
credit of $21 900 in his account The
news was so startling khat Gen. FREE

any doubt of the guilt Of the accused. A

fast for her family, which consists of her
husband and eight children, used by
mistake strychnine for soda to raise the

apprehend that the poison that each
member consumed in the biscuits win
kill the rest of the family. There Is no

merely Temporary Agreement.

CHICAGO, May l2.-It is understood
that the truce between the coal mine
owners Of northern Illinois and their
employees, will probably be but tempo
rary one, and that next fall there will
probably be a strike of all the miners in
the state, The leaders thought il best
to give in now, for the reason that it Ii
the wrong time Of year to strike, and
because the miners in the southern part
of the state are not organized. This
will be attended to during the summer.
and next fall the demand of the miners
will be renewed.

lOHN BULBS RLuFF.
He May Not Come to Our Worlds Fa
At All.

At All.
LONDON, May 12.-During the session
of the house of commons Mr.. Jesse Col
lings, Liberal Unionist, asked whether
the government would take any steps to
encourage British manufacturers to send
exhibits to the worlds fair at Chicago if
the Mckinley tariff bill now before the
American congress should become law,
in view of the fact that the bill practi-
cally prohibits the importation of Brit
ish goods into the United States.
The Right Hon. Sir james Ferguson,
parliamentary secretary of the foreign
Office, said that the question of official
participation in the proposed fair
could only be determined after
consideration of the advantages
which would accrue to British in
terests when an invitation to take part
III the exhibition was received from the
American government. 1t is probable,
he said, that the manufacturers of
Great Britain would to a great extent
be deferred from sending exhibits to the
fair if the tariff precluded profitable
sales in America.
