John H. Smythe, the ex-minister to

said the speaker, "and his house is his
castle, If an invader enters your castle
for the purpose Of arresting you without

without authority of law, and you have

F.iToRS FREE WOOL.


of the Ways and Means Committee.
WASHINGTON, ID. C., Dec. 23-Chairfnan
Springer will not call the ways and means
committee together until after the holt
days, when he will divide the committee
into subcommittee and ascertain the feel
ing OF his associates as to the policy to be
pursued in reference to tariff legislation at
the present session. MIR. Springer favors
the immediate preparation of a bill to
place wool on the free list. He thinks
such bill can be framed in a few DAYS,
and has no doubt that it would pass both
houses. In order to insure free wool Mr..
Springer would not disturb the rates i'm
posed by the present law upon the manu-
features of wool, leaving these where they
were placed by the last Congress- although
he believes that in many cases these rates
should be reduced. The rates Of the
wooden schedule are what are known
as compound. In the first place
duty is levied ON the raw wool according to
quality, ranging from 10 cents per pound
to 81 cents per pound. The manufactured
product first pays the compensatory duty,
which is the equivalent OF the specific rate
levied on the wool used in the inanufac-
ture, and in addition 70 this an ad yalorem
duty ranging from 80 to 70 per cent Mr..
Sprnger's proposition is to remove the
duty on the raw material, and the pound
rate, or specific duty, on the manufactured
product, leaving the ad valorem rates
stand us they are in the Mckinley act. In
conversation this afternoon Mr.. Springer
said he intended to press this proposition
us soon MS the committee should be fully
organized, and he thinks that bill can be
made ready and reported to the House
within a couple of weeks.

THE OHIO VALLEY
Aiming for Clarksville and Nashville
Rumors Floating About.

A. Y. Garden, of Marion, KY,
paid GAINESVILLE a short visit last
week. His business here has not
been made public, but it is supposed
it had some connection with the
Ohio Valley railroad and its exten
sion to this city. Mr.. Garden is con
nected with the construction com
pany of that road and has been
travelling over the several surveys
and prospective routes to Hopkins
vile, and it is understood that he
come here on some business for Col.
Kelsey, looking to the extension OF
the line on from Hopkinsville. The
Chesapeake & Ohio people, who now
control the Ohio Valley, do not try to
conceal their purpose of extending
the lineto Nashville. Two routes are
held in view, one by way of Adair-
vile, KY, and Cross Plains and the
other by way of GAINESVILLE. The
AdairvlIle route, however, is hardly
to be considered practicable. How.
ever, they express the determination
to go to Nashville. 1t is also under
stood that the 0. V. people have tried
to buy the Princeton branch from the
l.. q N. and failing in that, have
proposed a lease arrangement by
which the 0. V. might operate that
line and build a spur from the nearest
point to Hopkinsville, and failing to
reach any agreement with the l.. &
people, have determined TO build
parallel line.

UNDER THE SOD.
The Remains of Mrs. Gholson
Resting in Greenwood.
The Funeral Service Largely Attended
From the Methodist Church Sun
day Afternoon at O'Clock.

The funeral service over the re-
mains of Mrs. Alex. Gholson was
held at the Methodist church Sunday
afternoon at three o'clock, as previ-
ously announced. The spacious
building was crowded with sorrow
ing and sympathizing friends. The
large family connection were there
under the shadow of gloom. Hun
dreds who knew her but few years
ago as the bright, happy Jennie Kee-
see, whose presence was sunbeam,
were present to mingle their tears.
Those who caught the first impress
of her loving nature in the school
room were there to bless her men,
DRY.
Christian people who knew her
zeal for the Masters cause, and the
work of her gentle hand in spread
ing sunshine wherever she went,
were assembled to have their grief
soothed by the consolation of gospel
promises. There were also assembled
the many friends of the stricken hus-
band, whose happy home has been
bereft of the sweetest joy earth can
bestow-a loving, devoted wife and
mother, to share in his pungent
grief.
The chancel railing was literally
covered with rare flowers and floral
designs of every character, brought
as heart offerings by warm friends,
and the simple white casket that con-
tanned the mortal remains of the
loved one was covered with beauti-
full wreathes. The choir sang crock
Of Ages" DR.. Lupton read that ia
miliar scripture, "Now is Christ
risen," etc., and lead in prayer.
Then followed the song, 81 would
not live always" Rev. Growden
read a short lesson from the New
Testament, quoting his text from
job: "If man die, shall he live
again ?" referring to the New Testa-
ment for the answer, "In that, that
Christ had risen from the dead" The
sermon was strong, sympathetic and
beautifully touching in bringing out
the lovable character Of the deceased
and the mysterious ways of Gods
providence. The remain, were fol-
lowed to Greenwood by one of the
largest funeral professions that has
ever been seen in GAINESVILLE.
After the casket containing all that
was left of the lovely woman was
lowered DR.. Lupton offered the clos
ing prayer, a petition from the heart
filled with tender sentiment and
rich with pathetic cloquence. During
the filing of the grave the choir sang
"There is Rest for the Weary" and
"God be with You till we Meet
Again." The mound was literally
covered with flowers, of all manner
of beautiful designs, and Jennie
Gholson was left to rest beneath the
flower bedecked sod in the beautiful
city of our beloved dead.
The following gentlemen served as
pail bearers. Clay Stacker, DR.. N. l..

AT the Methodist Church.

DIR. Hoss, of the Christian Advo-
cate preached to the Methodist people
here yesterday, filling DR.. Vests
place. He had large audiences and
gave the highest satisfaction. Those
who attended the morning service
were much edited with the inspiring
words of the great preacher and left
praising it as one of the finest SER
mons they had ever heard.
Closing his discourse, by way of
illustration DR.. Hoss spoke of a
preacher in his conference, old and
superanuated, to who his coworkers
sent nice sum of money to meet his
pressing necessities. Returning his
thanks for this generous recognition
the old man wrote: "TeIl the
brethren that / wandered up
and down the Jordan for six months,
looking for shallow place to cross /;
but do not do 50 any more. l care
not how deep the stream nor hon
swift the current, for feel that Christ
is with me and will carry me safely
over.
DIR. West, the aged pastor, who
was with his flock for the first time
in a number of weeks, and who is
yet quite feeble from his severe ill
ness, arose and said that he wanted
to say to his people that there were
no bad crossings on the Jordan /;
since he was last with them in the
pulpit he had been to the brink of
the stream several times and there
were no bad fords there. His Saw
our was there and he had the assur-
anCe that he would conduct him
through the stream and into the
beautiful beyond. Praise God from
whom all blessings flow closed a
most impressive occasion.
