WHAT PEOPLE TALK ABOUT.

The death OF Mrs. Gabrielle King,
in Memphis, and her interment in
Greenwood Thursday have brought
out several interesting points con.
neeted with her early history and
also that of the city of GAINESVILLE.
There is little doubt that Mrs. King
was "a leading spirit in organizing
the first Sunday-school GAINESVILLE
ever had. The local historians are
somewhat at variance as to where
and when this school WAS organized,
but they are unanimous in giving
much OF the honor to her. The first
Methodist society ever organized in
Clarksvile was in 1929 and the CEN
trail figures in the work were Rev.
Henry Beaumont and wife and Miss
Gabrielle Wat rs, afterWard Mrs.
King. There was no Methodist
church here then and the old
Mtsonic hall, which stood on the lol
now occupied by the Episcopal rec
tory, was used AS place of worship.
Rev. Mr.. Phillips was The preach,
at the time and through his work
supplemented by the energies of thu
parties mentioned above, the, first
Sunday-school was organized.

THEATRICAL NOTES.

Sunday Openings at the Grand Opera
House and the New Powell Street
Webster and Brady's "The Bottom of the
Sea" adapted by Mr.. w. A. Brady opened
at the Grand Opera House last evening in
the presence of large attendance. 1t will
be continued for the week. TO take adyan-
tage of the Fourth of July holiday time. A
grand matinee will be given in the after
noon Of Saturday. For a first performance
every thing moved smoothly enough, but
there is room for improvement In the details
of working the stage. which Will no doubt
be made as time progresses. There is a
good deal of trouble in handling the mount
ing and scenery, particularly in the third
and fourth acts. which are the best in the
piece. The third deals with laying the
West Indian cable from on board
the French man of war Invincibie,
and the fourth shows the bottom
the great deep; this is disclosed in ten sue
ceSsive transformation scenes. -Four OF the
officers Of the InVincible' have descended
to splice a parting that has been made in
the cable by Alexis Banelli treacherOus
member Of the expedition, and besides
conflict among the human beings on the
oceans floor, there Is fight with an enor-
nous octopus or deyil-fsh, which, attracted
by the electrical lights, assails the divers who
bear them. There are two defects IN this
scene-the ladder as means of descent, and
the use of the axe TO cut the arms oil the
deyil-tiSh. a knife, at close quarters, might
be Of so me effect in dealing with the giant
squiC, but one cannot WELD an axe adyan-
tageousIy under water. Reform these iIreg-
ularities and the realism of the scene will
be EeaSuTably increased. The mem DerS OF
the cast are good enough in their places.

Why a Lady Was So Unattraotive.

II saw a lady with plnched features blue lips and
a rudy nose, as came down in the cars this morn
ing" said one OF the leading doctors of America
recently. "She unhappy, and really did not
know the cause. But !, as physician. though never
having seen her before knew exactly the source Of
her trouble What was it She was suffering from
malaria. This, you know, is now the great disease,
and IT seems to be on the increase"
lis malaria dangerous doctor ?"
"Hes, aud no. IL is the indirect cause of many,
perhaps most diseases. and always puts person in
a condition TO invite disease. although IT is bad
enough of itself"
And what do you do for it ?"
"Ah! There is the hardest part OF the subject.
Inc principal remedy has been quinine but 10 is not
always advisable. one thing, however. is almost a
necessity In any case OF malaria and that is pure
Stimulant, preferably whisky. Where 1t is the right
Kind it seems TO Kill all the germs Of malaria quicker
than any other known thing"
The remarks OF the doctor are most valuable, bAt
he did not go on to state what is known to the
writer-that both himself and most prominent ply
siCiaus prescribe DUfy's Pure Malt Whisky Their
reasons for this are many the principal ones being
that it is the only medicinal whisky in the market
and the only which for years has stood the most
scrutnizing chemical tests. OF course. cheaper and
impure WHISTLES have been advocated, and certain
Inscriptions dealers try to sell them because they
can make larger profit upon them than they eau
upon pure and expensive whisky like Duffys Malt

The Nose of Village Blacksmith Bitten
or by an Enraged Animal.
George Beach, farmer, owned a mule
that had always been a terror to farriers
and had never been shod unless first thrown,
says a SebewaiDg (Mich.) special to the
GlObe-Democrat Fred Heyman, a new
blacksmith, told Beach he would shoe that
mule in the regular way if he died in the at
tempt. Aided by three men TO hold the
mule he succeeded in the task yesterday and
had stepped to the window to cool off VIII en-
the mule broke away from the man holding
him and rushed at Heyman, striking wit h
his forefeet The man called TO Heyman,
but too late, one of the mules hoOfs striking
him on the head.
Heyman lodged to get out of the way, and
the mule dropped TO all fOurs and snapped
at him with his foaming jaws. Heyman at
tempted to dodge into a corner but In doing
so turned his face to the mad beast. He be-
came terrified and yelled to the Others TO kill
the mule. One fellow, drawer than the rest,
drew a revolver TO shoot, but before he could
fire the mule had made another snap at Hey
man and bitten off his nose and part of his
right cheek. The shot rung out and the
mule fell dead Heyman's nose was sewed
on, but he has only slight chance of life
He is crazy from his fright. and the doctor
says he is likely to die OF blood poisoning.

A TELEGRAPHER AS KING.
Mademba i OF Segon Promoted to til
Throne From the Kew.

Mademba L or Segon Promoted to the
Throne From the Key.
A sudden favorable turn Of fortune does
not always ALLEVIATE the lucky individual
from his habitual occupations. This more
or less wise saw is applicable to the cause of
the present King of SegoD, who was put on
the throne Of his black kingdom by Colonel
Archinard, when his royal predecessor, All
madeu, took to fight for his safety.
Mademba, the present monarch, is ma
tive Of the country over which he at present
rules, but was formerly controller OF tele-
graphs at Senegal. Before accepting his
regal state he made it a condition that his
name should continue TO be inscribed on
the list Of telegraph servitOrs, and that his
situation OF King should be considered as
subservieDt to that of his original employ
ment.
Mademba must have learnt either by in
tuition or from acute observation, that the
lot of a monarch is less certain, in these
days, than the position of an officer in the
service Of the 'Postes ct Telegraphes," and
so preferred to keep in reserve what might
one day prove to be happy issue out of all
his Affections.
He has, no doubt. constantly one eye on
his throne and the other one of memory on
the Office of his former telegraphic exploits.
Should the future bring about for Mademba
that change which is in the modern order of
things, be may return to the tic-tic of his
former days with the right to add to his
title Of preference that Of "Ex-King of
Segon."
Politeness In telegraph Offices, although
once seriously complained of by NJ. Guy de
Maupassant is generally the rule, even with
the ordinary employees; but should Ma
demba | of Segon ever return to his Sene-
gallan bureau, his clients may expect to be
treated in right royal fashion by man who
never lost sight Of business. even when pro-
noted TO the honOrs of an African throne

Rifle SHOOTING.
State Shoot of the Second Artil.
lery Regiment.
Companies B and D of the First Regiment
Shoot for Medals San Francisco Schuetzen
Verein Bulrs-Eye Shoot.

The Second Artillery Regiment assembled
at She'll Mound Park yesterday to compete
for State deeOra tons. Battery a, the light
battery of the regiment, used pistols, while
the other bait cries used the rifle.
The day WAS not the best for rifie-shoot-
ing hot, dry wind prevailed for the
greater part of the day, and the warm sur
face OF the earth caused heated waves of
air TO keep constantly ascending, which re-
suited in Pickering of the target that
proved very annoying and deceptive TO the
marksmen.
Captain d. A. Smith was detailed TO act
as brigade rifle inspector. This duty was
performed by him with such easy grace
that 1t was apparent to all that he was not
stranger on the rife range. He was a
close observer of everything that transpired,
and gave general satisfaction to the many
marksmen present
Lieutenant f. A Kuhls, the well-known
riflemap, is Rife Inspector of the Second
Regiment, and was kept busy attending to
the various details necessary in a regimen
tai contest. His score shows that ne still
holds steady gun, as he rolled up A points
out Of possible 80.
In addition to the Second Regiment Com
pany ID of the First was present for their
monthly medal contest and q large mum Der
OF guardsmen participated for the decOra-
tons Of the company.
Company b of the First held its monthly
medal shoot and did some good work at the
butts. This company is regular visitor at
the range and its scores show that the COM,
pany contains many excellent shots.
The San Francisco SchuetZen Verein held
Its Duils-eye shoot and although the at
tendance was not as large as usual, owing
to prize contests at other ranges, the MEM
beIs were very enthusiastic.
The scores made by the members of the
staff and the different companies of the Sec
ond regiment who are apt TO qualify, ac-
