Senator Mcpherson. of New Jersey.
is n of the latest names mentioned
in connection with the Democratic
nomination for President. Senator
Mcpherson has been regarded as the
,l.ief friend of MIR. Cleveland in New
Jersey against the p~retensions of
Gov. Albeit, but his friends are now
saying that he will himself be a strong
candidate if Mr.. Cleveland is not in
the field. Senator Mcpherson is a
power in New Jersey, and will proba-
bly, be able to control the delegation
to the Democratic national convention
if he wishes, either for Mr.. Cleveland
or for himself. His friends believe
that if nominated he will provea strong
candidate. He is one of the few
Democrats in the last Senate who rot
ed steadily against free coinage and
the Republican silver bill. He was
also most active in fighting the high
schedules of the Mckinley bill, ever
where they were framed for the bene-
ut of manufacturers in his own State.
1t has been often said that if Mr..
Cleveland were elected again Senator
Mcpherson would be his Secretary of
the Treasury if ex-senator Fairchild
was unwilling to return again to off,
cial life. 1t is thought here that the
nomination of Senator Mcpherson for
Pre- sident woulo be quite satisfactory
to the busir ess sentiment Of New
York and New Jersey, for his position
in favor of sound finance and intelli-
gent tariff reform has been more clear
ly set forth than even that of Gov.
Pattison, of Pennsylvania, or Gov.
Campbell, of Ohio. If Mr.. Cleveland's
nomination becomes impossible, it
would not surprise clever politician
here to see Senator MCPHERSON r~eceiv-
ing q large share of the votes from the
Eastern States.-Times-D Democrat.

Among the people Of Norcross, DIR.
Mcdaniel, in his yard, grows an ordi-
nary mulberry tree.
Yesterday afternoon Mrs. Mcdaniel,
while sitting on the veranda, saw a
puff of smoke emerge from one of the
limbs. She rubbed here eyes to see
if it was not an optical delusion, but
when she looked again she saw anoth-
er puff of smoke spring from another
limb.
She called to her husband that the
tree was on fire. The doctor came out
and was not less astonished than his
wife. for the whole tire. was putting
smoke. 1t came out in jets from the
limbs, like a boy smoking a cigarette.
The doctor climbed into the tee,
but could see nothing unusual about it.,
not a place in the bark being broken.
The smoke vas oozing from the bark
and could be plainly seen as it f1oated
or the breeze. There was no odor to
it whatever, but it vas white in color
and looked like tobacco smoke.
Dr.. Mcdaniel called in his neigh
bors, and they too were mystified.
Soon the news of the smoking tree
spread, and people from all over town
hocked to the DOCTORS home. From 4
O'Clock, until 6, the tree continued to
emit puffs of smoke while a crowd of
about $50 people watched it.-Atlanta
Journal.
