The editor of the LEADER enjoyed
the pleasure of attending the Copiah
County Alliance at its meeting at Pine
Grove Church Tuesday. There was
large attendance, and the interest
of the, brethren in the success of the
farmers cause seemed unabated. The
morning session was devoted to regu-
lar business of the order, and after
dinner there was an open air meeting
and speaking by President Guynes,
DR.. F. A. Rowan, Chairman of the
Copiah county Democratic Executive
Committee, and the writer. The Wis
itors and delegates were most hOspita-
bly, entertained by the people of Pine
Grove, and the ladies of the commu-
nifty furnished magnificent picnic
dinner on the grounds. Though it
was understood the Alliance would
hold two days session, we could not
remain Wednesday, much to our re-
greet. In our next issue, we hope to
have from Secretary Miller report OF

Pathetic Incident on the Overland
Train to This Coast.

A Pathetic Incident the Overland
Train to This Coast.
A pathetic story was told a Times re-
porter by a passenger who arrived at the
Oakland pier last evening on the overland
train. The second night out from Kansas
City the passengers were much annoyed by
the crying of baby which was being taken
care of by gentleman, presumably its
father.
The baby was very cross, and no amount
of walking with. talking to or caresslng IL
would silence its screams. The man who
cared for the baby was apparently Ill ana
weak, and his voice at times betrayed emo
tiou. The more ne tried to silence the
child the louder it screamed. The passen-
gers were frantic. One old, roughly dresser,
bearded frOntierSman, evidently miner or
stage-driver, finally accosted the father:
why don't you give that kid to Its mother
and let her put it to sleep?'
" l wish | could" said the weary father.
81 wish could place it in its mothers arms,
and then watch her sing it to sleep. But It's
mother is in her coffin in the baggage-car,
and l am taking her tn California to bury
her beside some of her people"
Then the rough old fellow arose, and with
trembling voice said: Give me that kid,
stranger, and you lay down and git some
rest. You look weary. Wrap the blanket
around you and git some sleep"
The father did as requested, and fell asleep
almost in a moment. The rough old fellow
folded the babe to his bosom and began
wills perng to and patting the crying babe.
Gradually its cries ceased, and in less than
ten minutes it was, like its father, sound
asleep.
The old man looked around the car and
found many of the erstwhie eXasperated
passengers drying their tears.
The rest OF the way to California that
baby did not want for care, the passengers.

Caught Between the Lines.

The worst frightened man | ever saw"
said Judge Fitzgerald, with an amused ex-
preston of cOuntenance, was at Pea Ridge,
when we were attacked by the Federal
troops. For a body servant l had strap
ping negro boy, whose duty it was to look
after my blankets and rations, and negro
like he was forever crawling away into some
out Of the way place to sleep. just as we
were expecting tie advance the Federals
opened fire on US at rather close range. We
were on the skirmish line and IN moment
our men were deplOyed in battle array.
Just as tile firing began 10 grow heavy
heard piercing yell and saw my negro
boy flying along between the lines. Every
step would have measured fifteen feet and
every time his foot struck the ground he
would yell oh, Lord! loud enough to be
heard in both camps. With him he had my
blankets aud ratious, and at every jump he
would leave portion of one or tue other in
his wake. AS far as [ could see him he
was going Ike frightened deer and long
after he was out Of sight could hear MIN
yell. He had been sleeping exactly midway
between the lines when the battle opened
and it is not surprising that he was scared.
Two weeks elapsed before he returned to
camp, but he could never be induced to talk
Of his Pea Ridge experience.

WORLDS FAIR.
Why Controller COlgau Will Not
Pay the Appropriation.

Controller Colgan's legal adviser. j. A.
Barham, defeated candidate for Congress,
was in town yesterday, having come to
oppose J. D. Steyenson's application for a
writ of mandate to compel the Controller to
pay the money appropriated by the Legisla-
ture for the old pioneers relief
4" Is it a fact that the Controller will refuse
TO pay the money appropriated by the Legis-
lature for the Worlds Fair, at Chicago?" he
was asked.
&" have advised him not to pay it, be-
cause it is unconstitutional, was the an
sWer.
"What are your grounds for considering
it unconstitutional? 2"
" The Columbian appropriation is TO eX-
pend money bey ond the territorial limits of
California and jurisdiction of the Courts OF
this State over 1t would be wholly lost; and
further, the control of the proposed exhibit
at Chicago cannot IN the nature of things, be
under The exclusive control Of the State"
Among the other appropriations which the
Controller will refuse to pay is the apprO-
priation of $1,000 for the relief of the suffer
ers by the Tia Juana flood. The Controller
holds that if this money is paid it would be
gift and therefore unconstitutional.

HE FIXED" HIS CASE.

ProsecGtrix.
Henry Hendricks should be a diplom ate.
He claims 10 be brother Of J. c. Hend-
rickS, ex-Member of Congress from Wiscon-
sin, but it is certain that he has been the
trusted coachman for several rich San
Franciscans. His diplomacy is, however,
the stronges: characterize of his ma 9terful
nature, aud he has given the world another
proof Of II.
Early this month he left his position as a
hireling of Mrs. Paulina Smith at 7lS Glenn :
entina street, but he did not go emp ty-
handed. She made complaint for his ar
rest for grand larceny, claiming he had
stolen $3.50, and a search was made for II i'm
by Officers Crockett aud Dillon. He was
not found, and the first heard Of him was
on Wednesday, when he returned, as he
said, from Wisconsin.
He met Mrs. Smith in the street and to
fcTestall her upbraidings offered TO make er
his wife. She accepted, and a Justice of
the Peace sealed the differences by unitin e
their fortunes. They then repaired TO he r
home at 733 Clementina street to enjoy a
honeymoon. But the officers had heard of
his return and called at that number and
arrested the bridegroom in the face of the
brides prOtestations that "all was mis-
take"
He was released later in the day on $1,000
bonds, furnished by her. and now she says
that she will not testify against him, in
which case he cannot be convicted, as no
one can compel her to.

WOMEN AS LEGISLATORS.
One View as to How Women PrObabl!
WouId Act in the JnrY-BOx.

One View as to How Women Probably
Would Act in the Jury Box.
Editor Wonldn's Column, Morning Gail:
Nh P. T. seems alarmed at the idea of
women iegislating. Now why should not
women legislate? 1t seems to my mind per-
fectiy right that men and women should
legislate for men and women. We are
aware of wOman's inhumanity to woman;
women with such sentiments as those dis
played by n. r. P. T. are living monuments
of the fact that woman is inhuman to
woman. But legislature composed of both
men and women would equallZe matters and
give US The ideal body of lawmakers.
About dish-w&sbiDg n. r. z. I. may
make her mind easy. There viii always be
those who prefer dish-washiDg to anything
else.
w.t. n. R. P. T. can say: sit is In my
opinion wrong and scandalOus for a woman
openly to demand law and dollars for the
loss Of a mans favor and love-" But who
has made it possible for woman to do this
thing? Who is the maker of law?
N r. p. T. says 'the Chri stianized and
morally refined women would keep the men
within their sphere and trust them TO adj
minister the law" The would" in this
sentence should be stressed, because many
women are not keeping the men IN the right
spbere by any means, and the fact that all
the men cannot be trusted TO administer the
law was sufficiently demonstrated by our
last Legislature. do not say that women
would do any better. but men and women
would God was wondrOus wise when he
made Eve to keep Adam company.
There is no reason why woman In q
jury-bOx should make a spectacle OF herself
or render an unwise verdict OF course
some so called society woman or some
woman whose ambition rises no higher than
dfsh-W ashing would ia all probability do
both, but a woman Of average Intelligence
would do neither. True women look at
minor details, while men do not: but
"straWs show which way the wind blows"
The ideal jury would be one composed Of
both men and women; let them stand side
BY side as God placed them in Eden.

cclusions is correct, the inference may be
drawn that as there are all kinds OF girls
and all kinds OF men, almost any kind OF
girl will please some kind Of a man, obser-
walton undoubtedly iustifylng such an opin-
ion.
There Is, however, one girI-every man
knows which one / mean-Wh0Se versatility
and adaptabiity render her particularly
agreeable.
She is always free and frank in converse
ton, even on unconventional subjects, but
she is never bold, and will tolerate nothing
approaching cOarSenesS.
You are positive that her seeming interest
In the matters which interest you is not Gu
Hrely assumed, and you are conscious also
that she knows whether your affected desire
to understand the affairs occupying her at
tention is genuine.
There is no indication, either, when you
are present, that she ever thinks Of you
Wheh absent to any greater degree, or in any
OJner way, than your male acquaiu tanceS do.
In conversation, her large fund Of general
information is evident, yet You are not i'm
pressed by display of knowledge greater
than your own.
II you desire to air your stock of compli-
ment1ry nothingS, she can handle them more
gracefully than that other girl with whom
You can talk nothing else, and there is de-
llghtfuiy missing all sensation Of having
them eXtnrted from you.
Perhaps, in momentarily cynical mood,
you SIT down TO reflect on this girls charm,
determined to discover whether it is the re-
suit Of ingenious naturalness or the most
consummate art. What is your conclusion?
Hmm, yes; but one thing is certain-the
charm is there. isn'tit.
Now, 10 be honest, doesn't it lie in the
TACT that she apparently receives just that
Impression Of your character and person

consciousness is little too favorable for

tering but thatyou can honestly endeavor to
believe it correct.
This girl, who meet, on level ground every
man worth meeting, though not challeng-
Ing admiration, usually takes her choice
among several suitors; and if that man is

as lie did before, he seldom regrets the
choice
