SCOTT IN TENNESSEE.
To the Editor Of THE ADVOCATE:

10 the Editor Of THE ADVOCATE:
The announcement that the Hon. s. M.
Scott, of Kansas, would speak at this
place to-day brought out tremendous
crowd OF the citizens of the surrounding
country, Notwithstanding the fact that
there was quite hard rain during nearly
all Of the forenoon. This Is the county
seat Of Gibson county, one Of the wealth
lest counties in Tennessee, and the oppo-
eltion to the "great reform movement" ls
very strong In this place.
The "mossbacks" thought they would
take advantage of the occasion by dis
turbing the speaker by asking frivolous
questions, such a., "Were you down here
during the war;" to which Brother Scott
ans Rered that he was only years old
when the war began. They soon found
out that the speaker meant business, and
a. Brother Scott began to deal his sledge-
hammer blows and knock the moss from
their backs, some few lodged, but most
OF them stood like men and had the old,
nasty shell knocked clean of. Brother
SCOTS speech was mastery effort, and
his argument and illustrations In favor
Of the Bub-treasury plan were unanswer-

1900 people present who paid marked
attention to the speaker, all retiring that

Kansan knew his business. On the Goth
Brother Scott was joined by our state
president, Brother John FL. Mcdowell,
at Andrews Chapel, where they both spoke
to over 5000 souls. After the conclusion
of Brother SCOTS address that afternoon
Brother Mcdowell asked all those In the

WASHINGTON, August 1.-The names
Of the members Of congress whom Mr.
Watson, Of Georgia, had in mind when
he wrote in his book about drunken con-
gressmen on the floor of the house did
mot come out Saturday in the investiga-
don OF the special committee appointed
yesterday TO inquire into the charges.
Mr.. Watson was the first witness. He
said that he knew enough to substantiate
the charges he had made. He would
regret to mention names and would only
do 30 under compulsion. He had in
mind two members present during the
debate on the silver bill at night ses-
sion early In March, when he wrote
about members reellng on the floor Of
the house in a state OF intoxlcation. The
phrase drunken speakers debating grave
questions" referred to one speaker on
one occasion only-the Noyes-R Rockwell
debate. In his opinion that speaker was
IN a state of maudlin intoxlCRtlOn. In
front of the speaker was cup and saucer.
Its contents were replenished several
times and Il was noticed that the more
hO drank the more he wandered In his
argument. He heard the speaker say to
o page: "Brlng me more of that stuff
chat whisky" He regarded the speaker
@s a lovable and honorable man and one
who no doubt regretted the occurrence az
much as one possibly could. Witness
would not shrink from mentioning
names If forced to the issue. His hesi-
tation came from a desire to shield the
persons concerned.
Chairman Boatner said that the COM
mlttee would consider whether or not 1t
would ask for names.
Representative Otis, of Kansas, said
that he had seen evidences or intoxioa-
tlon on the part Of members on two oc
CaslOns. Asked about the degree OF
Int0xicatlon of the member addressing
the house while under the influence OF
liquor, he said: "He was pretty we'll set
up. l thought the longer he proceeded
the worse he grew" Witness told Rep
Simpson that most certainly
he had noticed drinking habits on the
part Of members. Coming from pro-
hlbltlon state It was perhaps more notice
able than 1t would have been otherwise.
Miss Dwyer, congressional reporter
on the National Economist, Corroborated
The testimony Of the other witnesses as
10 che member under the influence Of
liquor addressing the house.
Representatives HalvorseD, Of Mime
IotA, Butler, Of Ohio, Shell, of South Caro-
lima, Glover and Davis, of Kansas, and
others testified to having seen members
on different occasions, and In |

Webster's Opinion.

In the year iS4O the locomotive was
. small, weak machine that was en-
ployed to drag few coach-lilse cars at
a speed of about ten miles an hour.
Then the directors and stockholders OF
railroads constituted the meelsest class
of citizens, very different from the dic-
tatorial, influential class of the pres
ent Daniel Webster. in describing the
the American railroad Of that time.
said: '"They are made Of two stringers
of scantling, notched into ties that
often get loose In the ground Upon
the stringers two straps Of iron, the
width and thickness Of wagon-tires,
are nailed
''These straps OF iron frequently get
detached at the ends. which turn up
like snakes heads, and pierce the Aoors

THE CENTENARY or GAS.

VIII Another Hundred Years superr.ede II
az niuminans2
Among the many anniversaries which
are being celebrated this year Is the
centenary of the invention Of gas
as an illuninant, says the New
York Tribune. It was in 1903
that william Murdoch first lighted up
his humble home at Redruth. In duchy
OF Cornwall, by means OF coal gas made
In an iron kettle, into which he inserted
rough iron tube. It was not until
six years later that the invention was
developed on large scale, when Muir
dock was employed to establish gas
lighting apparatus at the great Soho
foundry at Birmingham In 1903 the
Lyceum theater In London was first
lighted by gas, and in 1915 the gas
lamps which had been used to illuri-
nate Piccadilly since 1907 became com
mon throughout London It was at
this time, too, that David Melville, Of
Newport, R. l., first adapted gas, for
the manufacture Of which he had se-
cured o patent In 1906, to the Beaver
Tail lighthouse, and It has since be-
come one Of the principal illuminants
used In those watch towers which, In
imitation Of the ancient pharos, are
scattered oil over the globe for the
guidance and protection of ships and
mariners.
1t Is doubtful whether Q hundred
years hence, on the occasion of the bi-
centenary Of the invention Of gas, the
latter will still retain the commanding
position which It now occupies as an
lluminant On every side signs tn
crease which presage that the age Of
electricity Is at hand-that ago which
Is far more likely to revolutionize the
civilization of the world than any of It's
predecessors Gas will probably be-
gradually forced into back seat and
its use confined TO stoves and lre-
places, which find such favor among
the small households of crowded cities.
1t will be entitled. however, to tho
grateful remembrance OF man as q
powerful factor IN the development OF
his civilization and progress during tho
last one hundred years 1t has contrib
uted, moreover, to his enlightenment as
well as to his comfort, and has done
much to increase the broad and deep
gulf which separates humanity OF the
nineteenth century from mankind of
the darl, ages.
