He has been out along the line for Il

foreman of the gang came up to him
and said:
'There is more talent to the square

Mr.. Holbrook asked the man what he
meant. and the foreman continued:
Il was coming up the hill from work
with my gang bit ago, and when few
rods below Prisons we found the body
of a man lying beside the track. His
body was yet warm, and said, Wish |

''Acting on his suggestion the grave

He read chapter, gave out hymn. as
he called it, which the men sung, and
then he delivered one of the most feelin

An Awkward Interruption.

There was a moment of awkward un-
certainly at the Haymarket during q
recent performance of Hamlet" when
the least nervousness on the part of the
actor or the folly of one person in the
audience might have caused panic.
The torch that Hamlet (Mr. Beerbohm
Tree) uses had set fire to small portion
of the scenery, and Hamlet was solil-
oquizing in blissful inconsistencies OF
this fact when a gentleman in the stalls
said quietly:
There is fire behind you, Mr.. Tree"
With absolute tranquility Hamlet
turned and extinguished the flame and
then went on with the play, interrupted
only by the round of applause in which
the audience naturally expressed their
thanks.-London Tit-Bits.

JUDGE MORRIS is WAITING.
WAY He Does Not Fight for His Rights
.Fa In thu Courts. tf

WHY He Does Not Fight for His Rights
VT In the Courts.
New HAVEN, Jan. 18.-Judge Morris and
his counsel have taken NO action yot, III
conformity with the suggestion of the
supreme court, to test the title of the gov
erncrship in the superior court. To move
now in the matter in the way suggested by
the court would be to %antagonize the demo-
cratic legislative policy, which is also based
on the judges opinion.
According to the supreme court decision,
a path through the superior court 10 only
open to Judge Morris when the road through
the general assembly is closed. But the
democrats at Hartford say that the lsglsla-
tive road is open, and the democratic SEN
ate has Just asked the republican house
John !. Phelan as secretary. Further, IT
the republican house should consent. the
declaration Of Phelan's election would be
proof. until questioned in court. thai
The general assembly could stlll act.
For these reasons Judge Morris IS debarIeu
at present from proceeding TURNER IN she
courts.
But this obstacle ia not likely TO remain
long in the way. There is littleprobabillty
that the house will declare the election
of Phelan. Good republican arguments
against such action are that the leRlsia-
,ure cannot now act. and. II II coula,
that the declaration OF fhelan.s
declarations of election as to the other
democratic candidates. A stronger
Argument with republican lenders is that
to put Phelan in Office would be to give
the democrats two of the three MEM
bers of the state board of canvass
ers. Gov. Buckley and the repuollcah
nendad upon to avert that result at all
hszards. The outlook, therefore, is for an
sine die adjournment, when Judge Morris
will be at liberty to again start the slow
machinery of the courts.

SHIFTED BY AN EARTHQUAKE,
A Queer Suit Involving the Life OF a Gov
ernneut Land Patent.

Land Patent.
KANSAS Cry, Mo-, Jan. 1S.-A suit in
ejectment, which is the direct outcome of
ar earthquake in Missouri, is on trial be-
fore Special Judge l.. H. Waters in the cir
cult court. Eighty years ago there was q
severe upheaval of the earth's crust in
eastern Missouri. The Mississippi was
thrown from its banks, and when the
earth ceased to tremble it was found that
the Father of Waters had carved itself a
new channel. Many thousands of acres of
valuable farming land was thus lost and
won, and to recompense the losers the
government issued a certificate of teloca-
tion of certain lands in. Jackson county,
known rs the New Madrid land grant.
This was in 1916. Among the people
who lost their land in this sudden
manner was an old pioneer named
ment awarded patent on 140 acres in the
fully occupy this land, but lived and died
near st. Louis. In 1890 Ansel Brown. with
several other Of the living heirs OF Jacob
Meyers, secured from President Harrison
a confirmation of the original patent issued
to theit ancestor, aud then brought suit in
eiectment against William &. Oldham and
several others who have been residing in
peace and quiet on the property in ques-
tion for half a century. The defense is
open, peaceful and notorious possession for
more than twenty years, while it is con-
tended on the part of the heirs that the
statute of limitations does not run against
a patent on lands issued by the govern
ment.

NORTH CAROLINA VERY DRY.
An, Organized Effort to Danish Liquor
From the State.

An Organized Enort to Danish Liquor
From the State.
CHARLOTTE, N. c., Jan. 1s.-Hard times,
failures, politics, and everything else have
taken a back seat in North Carolina. The
liouor question is the leading and exciting
topic, and it ID along time between drinks.
Mecklenburg county commissioners
started the ball rolling last spring, when y
was announced that q minority OF enc COM
m~issioners would vote to refuse licenses.
Rscen,ly the commissioners in lrdell and
Castor counties refused to grant licenses.
Roth Of these counties contained many
small distilleries. They are dry as pow
der now.
Every day brings news of more dry conn-
tics. Alamance, Person, hobeson, Aont-
Counties have refused to grant Licenses to
either saint or sinner, and there ap-
pears to be an organized eHort 70

licenses, but invariably the commissioners
saw no. The commissioners don't say that
no man who sells liquor can prove a good
moral character, but they do say that
none of those that have applied SO far
nave in their estimation, a very good
character-not good enough to get
the coveted licenses anyway: In
Granville county the town commissioner
refuse TO continue the saloon licenses.
The saloon men made q fight and won.
Their licenses read: Granted to July /,
1892" In this way they will continue to
hold the fort until July. but those who
know say that Oxford will be dry after
July l. ,,
A number of leading newspapers uphold
the commissioners. Recent decisions Of
the supreme court fully sustain them. and
there seems to be no appeal. That a
strong temperance sentiment is abroad in
this state no one will deny, and the end ID
not vet.
