II Is said that the most successful
dentist iu London nt present is a Ger
man baroness, who is the most clever
tooth extractor In England. That Is
her branch OF the business. and she is
called n dental surgeon" The other
dentists send their patients to her when
extreme measures have TO be resorted
to. There are i've ladies practicing
successfully IN New York City, also
several In Chicago. Minneapolis, and
Detroit. The only lady who has ever
occupied professors chair in the pro-
fesslonal department OF the University
OF Michigan has been a lady dontist,
DR.. Margaret Humphry. She was for
several years assistant domonstrator TO

posed less arduous task OF lectnring TO

treasurer OF the dental department,
and one of the officers OF the State Dem
tai Society. She was followed by DR..
Elsie Halloc.S. who filed the position
ably until she, too, resigned for the
same reason. The Ann Arbor Dental

the necessity OF choosing that school

would have thom recognize the fact
that dentistry is not only an art but
also Il science. Too many seem to for

We have often been asked how we
like dentistry, and in reply we would
say that n great many women prefer to
come to us, and wo are, we believe,
peculiarly successful with children be-
cause we understand better how to
manage them. We like the profession
and believe the time Is not far distant
when women will cease TO be regarded

handP
Angeliua-With all my heart-but
oh, Edwin, I'm afraid mamma will nev-
er.give her consent to our union.
E.-Why not, dearest?
Al will be plain with you: For
two reasons. First, she can not make
up her mind to part with me; second,
she does not admire you. But per-
haps we may persuade her when she
finds that you are so good. and that
my happiness is involved.
E.-Leave the matter to me to man
age, darling, and all will be we'll.

Angelina's mother (frigidly)-What
Is your object, sir in seeking this in

Edwin--Madame, / love and admire
your daughter, and wish to marry her,
but-pray hear me QUITO be frank with
you. with all my love and admiration for
her, would not have sought to make
her mine il / had not been thoroughly
convinced OF her amiability and sweet
ness Of disposition and the sterling
worth Of her character, which indeed
are equal to the charms of her person,
and that is saying much. How have I
arrived at this conclusionP By as close
an observation OF her mother as OF
herself-pardon me for the liberty-an
observation entirely respectful and
prompted by the best OF motives. You
are aware that the mother-in-law has
long been made the target for the ar
rows OF satire and ridicule. In some
cases she has been justly served; in the
majority of the cases she has been
deeply wronged. To become the cham.
pion OF the mother-in-law has long
been my ambition. But could not be
her champion unless had one OF my
own. 1t would be said of me, Wait
till he gets one himself, and then hear
what he says l determined to get
one. But the getting Of mother-in-
law involved the getting Of wife, and
here arose difficulty. l wanted a
perfect mother-in-law to enable me to
carry out my pose, and for my own
happiness l wanted a perfect wife, too.
Could get bothp Fate was kind to
me. I saw and fell in love with your
daughter, who made me acquainted
with you. admired her beauty. I
studied your character and as the noble
qualities of your mind revealed them

production. In these two, said to
myself, / find the perfect wife and tho
perfect mother-in-law. have gained
the heart OF the one and have come to

my word, sir, you have argued your
case well, and it only remains for me
to say yes and give my daughter per
feet husband and myself perfect SON.

JILTED WASHINGTON
And Narrowly Escaped Becoming III
Mother OF Her Country.

And Narrowly Escaped Becoming tho
Mother OF Her Country.
George Washington was once re-
jected lover. The fact is testified to
by his own hand in a letter given to
the world few years ago by General
Fitzhugh Lee. General Lee, writing
to the editor Of a Virginia paper about
the matter, said:
eat the request OF many persons

tion OF the inclosed letter. 1t Is, as you
SEQ, from General Washington, written
over l20 years ago, and is addressed to

was some twenty years and three
months old, and is represented by oil
historians and biographers as a quiet,
dignided, bashful and reticent young
man; but, alasl 1t seems in that, as in
this day, that particular kind Of young
men always did the most courting."
Washington's letter inclosed Is as
follows;

After Four Years.I

From the Boston Herald of the 10th
ult, we learn that the lumber cases oil
James & Abbott of Boston with Sam.
uel NJ Winchester and the companies
represented by him, of Chattanooga
Tenn, which have excited so much
interest in lumber circles throughout
the country, have finally been decid.
ed by the arbitrators, to whom they
were deferred more than four years
ago The cases were begun in the fall
of 1885, and have been either under
hearing or advisement by the arbi-
traitors since, occupying more than
157 hearings. The claim on the part
of Winchester and his people was that
James 81 Abbott owed them from $40,-
600 to 100000, while James & Abbott
claim that they owed nothing and
thai Winchester and his companies
were indebted to them. The transac-
tons grew out of consignments and
operations in hard pine, black walnut
and other hardwood lumber from
Alabamv and Tennessee, and, as re-
suit, the balance found due by the ar
bitrators is in favor of James & Alb
bott. and amounts to about $4,000 in
their favor.

We notice that one or two news
papers are trying to decry the signifi
canoe OF the large vote-nearly al
equal diyide-which Jere Baxter re
ceived III the Democratic convention
of Grundy county, which instructed
for Buchanan. They do this by say
ing that Baxter was on the ground 9
day or two before the convention met
personally canvassing for support
TO an unprejudiced mind the very
large vote he received in county
where he had few personal acquslnt,
ances after having been among them
no short time, is an indication Of the
strong personal magnetism of the
man, and We should think it was only
necessary for him to be known in or
der to draw men to him.
But what have these critics TO say
Of the more significant fact brought
to light BY recent canvass of the
vote OF Shelby County, the home OF
Mr.. Baxterss opponent for the nomi-
nationg The vote was taken when Mr..
Baxter was in East Tennessee, and il

OF what his ability and qualifications

WALT EROWNLOW DISCUSSES
THE FIRST DISTRICT ROW.


Rod and ALI Both Enlisted for tbs
War.
Washington, April 19.-Correspon
dence of the Nashville American:
saw Walter Brownlow today. He hat
just come back from East Tennessee
where he has been engineering But
ler's campaign, and he sings a differ
ent song from HOAX.
"You can bet your last dollar" says
he, "that Butler is in the race to stay
within the next few days appoint
ments for speaking will be made
throughout the district, and a number
of speakers will assist. Mr.. Butler
who himself proposes to make about
sixty speeches during the canvass
We propose to beat Alf Taylor. We
are going to do it."
what do you hear about the proba'
BILE democratic nominee?"
"Well, there is John X. Shields, oil
Bean Station, Granger county. He
was chairman of the last congress.
sional committee in that district He
is young man, about 80, and the son
of James T. Shields, who declined the
appointment to succeed the late JUS
tice Nelson, of the Tennessee supreme
court. He has a large law practice,
and don't see what he wants to go
to Congress for. Andrew johnson
Patterson, of Bluff City, Sullivan
county, is also said to be in the field.
He is son of ex-senator Patterson,
and grandson of President Andrew
Johnson. He is business man is a
banker and is interested in Touring
mill and cotton mill, too, believe
at Jonesboro. He is young, too.
"Anybody else in the field?"
"Well, am told that D. P. Wilcox
is also spoken of. He lives at Eliza
bethton Carter county. He was the
democratic candidate last time. Will
cox, you know, is Northern Metho-
dist minister, and served in the Fed
eral army. He carries confederate
bullet in his body and between you
and me-" said Brownlow, with a twin
kle of his eye. "he did skin ALI most
numerically during the last cam
paign. But l want you to understand
that Butler is in the field to stay, and
am told that Taylor proposes to stick
it out"
From this it will be seen that the
republicans of the First district pro-
pose to fightit out if it takes all sum
mer. 1t will be winter before they
get through, and it will be cold day
in November for the two republican
contestants. The democrats mention
ed for the nomination are all strong
men, and Wilcox made q good race
when the republicans were united on
Alf Taylor, polling the full democratic
vote, and, as republicans admit, a little
more. Altogether the signs Of the
times are propitious, and If things
as they are we may look for
q democratic congressman from the
First Tennessee district next fall. In
the meantime the republican mana
gers are walking the floor some de-
