Wanted the Wrong Hat chalked.

A member of the Paul Kauvar Co.
tells the following good story on his
manager, Eugene Robinson:
81 was at the door with him at
Birmingham, Ala. The crowd was
80 great that he required my assis-
lance in collecting the tickets.
There was a one horse circus in town
that day, an altachee Of which (who
by the way was a rather seedy in
dividuaD approached MIR. Robinson
with the following query:
"Do you recognize professionals,
Mr.. Robinson ?"
81 do" replied Mr.. Robinson.
"Then ia like to go IN and see the
show replied the seedy individual.
"What company do you belong
to?" asked Mr.. Robinson.
"Why l own some performing
dogs with the Bustwell circus" he
replied.
"Well, then, said Mr.. Robinson,
"bring the dogs; in this case it is
they and not you who are the per-
formers, and are therefore entitled to
professional recognition"
The fellow madea sneak, but failed
to show up with the dogs.
This company is composed of a
nice lot of people, in striking contrast
with some OF the transforming ag
gregations that are on the road. On
this trip they have appeared al
Richmond, Chattanooga, Atlanta
Birmingham, Selma, New Orleans
Dallas, and other leading cities Ofth
South, and have won the highest
praise from the press at all places
The company goes from here to
Memphis and then to Louisville.

A NEW TELEPHONE.
Some Gossip About Clarksville's New
Fire Department.

The telephone has been put in the
engine house on Third street and its
number is D. la case a fire should
break out at any point in the city
citizens are requested to communal
cate the intelligence to the engine
house as speedily as possible, locating
the fire. A man is in attendance at
the engine house now all the time,
and when the fire is located right the
company can reach it much more
quickly
ClarksvilIe's fire department is get
ting in good shape, and as soon as all
the goods are purchased which were
ordered at the last board meeting
it will be well equipped. In addi-
tion to the engine house telephone,
Chief Batesand Engineer farrell
have supplied their residences with
these instruments and may be
communicated with in this way at
any hour of the night.
The next step forward will be the
electric alarm system, and the LEAF
CHRONICLE has straight tip to the
effect that this will be one of the
live issues with the next fire com
mittee. The present committee has
the honor of instituting the limited
paid service, and if the next one can
inaugurate the electric alarm system
it will pc feather in their caps and
a benefit to the city.

| among u.s. and of the Genties is accepted
| for a Prophet of Truth, but His disciples
| call Him the Son of God. He raiseth the

an the middle of his head is a seam or
partition Of his hair, after the manner of
the Nu2arites. The forehead plain and
very delicate. His face without a spot or
wrinkle beautiful with lovely coloring
His nose and mouth are formed as nothing
can be reprehended. His board thicksh

forked. His look innocent and natural
His eyes gray, clear and quick.

Political PaIayer.


81 wish you would make public through
the columns Of The BEE the real condition of
the Fourth ward political situation" said
eadng citizen. ''Tbere are three candidates,
Jeremiah Howard independent republican,,
john Henry Loechner (democratic), and John
s. Walters independent democrat. AS there
were only seventeen votes polled for Candi-
date Richards last fall little may be said
about Mr.. Howard's candidacy. But the
question of supremacy In the ward has heat
ed an axle and the battle is on. Between Mr..
Walters and his friends and Mr.. Loechner
and his friends there is little question. In
the first place, the democratic primary poll
ing place was changed in the interest OF
MIR Loechner to q street for the sole
purpose of voting Third warders. AS 1t was
one gang of nine Third warders voted for Mr..
Loechner. The city committee changed the
polling place back to the place where 1t was
first called. Then with only sixty-one votes
polled for the gubernatorial candidates last
fall lO2 votes were counted for Mr.. Loechner,
and thus either by imported votes or padded
returns or both, the nomination Of Mr..
Loechner was made. More than
that the friends of Mr.. Walters
were driven from the polls by rowdies
at the point of a revolver, with bullets flying
after some of them. Farther than that, Mr..
Loecnner is republican and worked and
voted for president Harrison On the other
| hand, Mr.. Walters is one of the Oldest citi-
| zeus of the ward, trusted official and popu-
| lar superintendent in the stockyards-so pop
ular that one year ago he received many
| more votes than any other candidate, ant
| has not only every qualification, but has the
support of the best citizens and largest in

JUDGE Nx'GEiI EXPLAINS.
He Dere nds Him,eIf Against Asper,

He Defe nds HimSelf Against Asper-
sions Conc ernng His Conduct
A morning paper has sprung sensation on
an unsuspectlng public in the shape of some
harges against Judge MCGEE to the effect
that he is conducting the work of his court in
sucn way as to make il as easy for himself
as possible and at the same time running up
a large bill of costs against the county to pay
the Justices to do the work which, 1t is
claimed, should be done by him. Among
other things it is charged that he has sought
to tighten his labors Dy turnin g over the work
of ding police court into the hands
of Justice Hammer, claiming that
he was unable to attend toit on account of
sickness. The statutes provide that the
ju dge Of the superior court shall receive an
annual salary of $1,000 year in lieu Of all
fees, and they further provide that he shall
have exclusive jurisdiction over all VIOLA
tions of the CITY ordinances, except when he
shall be sick or unable TO act, when the iuris-
diction shall be allowed to the Justices OF the
peace. The charge made against Judge
McCee is that he has made too free use OF
the liberty granted to him in case of sickness
or inability.
Judge MCGEE was asked yesterday as to
what truth there was IN the report that he
was trying to shirk his work at the expense
of the county. He replied that the only time
he had ever turned the work of the police
court over to the justices OF the peace was
Wnen ne was III WlIu Ia RElppt AIlcr ne
had recovered from weeks illness he did not
care to run the risk of relapse by overwork-
ing himself during the first few days, and he
had therefore secured the services of Justice
Hammer as personal favor TO himself.
"As for the expense to the county" he con-
tinued, Justice Hammers work during the
past two weeks will bring bill Of exactly 81
extra to the county. There has been one
case tried before him wherein the informa-
tion was filed before me- and for the trial OF
that case he w i'll brin g in bill to the cou nty
for s.. 1t was a mere matter of chance, how
ever, that the suit was commenced in per
ior court at all. The statutes state that ar
information in case OF that kind may bt
filed before justice Of the peace
and if the information had been filet
before him the county would have
had to pay the fee anyway. The other cases
which have been tried before Justice Ham
mer have been the ordinary drunks and peac'
disturbers, and Justice Hammer is not taxing
up the fees in those cases to the county, as !
has been charged That is a personal matte
between Mr. Hammer and myself
The charges which were made agains
Judge McGee caused something of sensa
tion among the members of the bar, ant
democrats and republicans agreed in tn
belief that the charges had been concocted b
some one who had n grudge against Judg
McGee for some reason or other and that tn
whole trouble could be traced directly to thi
source.

Looks Like a Conspiracy.

ST. CLOUD, Mum, April 6,-P. j. Schapa,
a prominent miller of Albany, was some time
ago sent to st. Peters asylum while tempo
rarly deranged. Upon his release he found
his mill and other property in the hands
OF parties he considered unsafe and
began proceedings in the courts to oust
them. They gave him great annoyance
and last Friday John +. Krebs, who had
been appointed receiver, filed information,
alleging that Schapa was insane This
created great excitement among Schapas
friends, and delegation of business
men came to this city, where the
examination was held, and protested
was adjudged insane and returned to the
asylum Much indignation prevails against
Krebs, and prominent citizens Of Albany
have inagurated a movement looking to the
release OF Schapa.
