NASHVILLE, Nov. .-[SpeciaLI !
A special from Chattanooga says
that an attempt was made to rob a
Western and Atlantic passenger train
near Adairsville, Ga, last night
The attempt would doubtless have
been successful, but for the courage
and GOODNESS of fiagman, J. A. Alb
stor. The train stopped at Adairs
vile to put off a tramp and had just
started again, when AbstOn saw three
men standing on the platform, be-
tween the baggage and mail cars.
Surprising them to be of the same
genus as the one he had Just put off,
he climbed on the platform and
ordered the trio to alight. The next
thing he knew, three ugly look
ing pistols were presented at his
head and from lips covered by masks,
came the command to open the door to
the mail car. The train stopped and
Abston obeyed. AS soon as he got
in the mail car he seized a pistol and
fired on the robbers, who ran away,
firing on the train at the same time.
This is the second attempt to rob the
train in this neighbOrhOod this
month.

Saw His Tombstone Every Sunday.

A somewhat eccentric man, a stone
mason by trade, died at Barrow-on-Soar,
Leicestershire, recently. On the death
of his wife, many years ago, he engraved
a tombstone, which read as follows:
Erected to the memory of William and
Sarah Swain, who departed this life in
the Nineteenth century," The stone
was then erected at the end of his wife's
grave, and from that time until his
death he passed it on his way to church
every Sunday.-London Tit-Bits.

There was . little italian girl in the

= SENATOR DAVIS ENEMIES.

In personal letter to friend in
this county, John Goodnow of Mime
apolis, President of the State Repub-
lican League, says:
'I believe that c. X. Davis defeat would be
calamity to the State"
President Goodnow only voices the
opinion of every true Republican in
this State, but Notwithstanding the
wishes of the voters, moneyed octo-
pus in the person of Gov. w. r. Mer-
RAM and a gang of hirelings have
been and are even now engaged in
trying to defeat Senator Davis. They
have no desire for Republican legis-
lature. On the contrary, they prefer a
triangular fight between the Repub-
lican, Democratic and Peoples Party
representative, in which event Senator
.Donnelly will hand oyer the Peoples
Party men and Senator O'Brien the
Democrats to the present governor.
The Republicans, preferring Repub-
Tlican, will drop Davis and go for
Merriam. That is the scheme, and the
only way to defeat it is to nomina 9
strong Davis men for representatives,
bind them by cast iron instructions,
and then elect them.

BUSINESS woMAN's CONTEMPT

A Mans Curiosity Despised Till the Rea-
son for 1t Was Learned.
A certain business woman often takes
letters and packages to the post Office
to be weighed. As often as she had
done so she had been impressed anew
with the weak and trivial curiosity Of
the male mind, for every time she
handed in something to be weighed the
busy man in charge stopped to turn it
over and read the address.
''And they talk of the curiosity OF
women" she scornfully thought.
A few days ago she repeated this ex-
perience-up to certain point. The
variation began when the examining
male said cheerfully:
at would be good idea, wouldn't it,
for you to put on here the town these
papers are going to7 Yes, certainly;
I'll write it for you. I've saved five
hundred ladies' letters from being lost
in the last three weeks by looking to
see if they were directed all right. l
don't bother about the men, but al
ways look at the ladies' letters"
And the crushed business woman
walked away with all the sad dignity
she could muster.-Boston Globe.

workmen and laborers. Skilled work
men and laborers create capital and

to increase the wealth of city. The

The negroes predominant in the police
court. They make the room as black az
black can be. If there were thousands
of crows perched upon the benches
they could make the room no blacker.
These negroes, If not interested in rel.
atives and friends before the court, are
taking an idle interest in the proceed.
ings The majority of the prisoners
are black as the ace of spades, but
there are negroes of all grades, from
the Nubian to the freckled Albino.
There are mulattoes, quadroons, oc.
toroons, and the startling racial mix.
lures of negroes with whites, and
mulattoes with octoroons; and COM
plexions indescribable either with pen
or brush are the result. When negro
families bring their rows before the
court it is growing more and more OBJ
servable that the winter the women OF
the enfranchised race the blaclker the
men of their choice. This indicates
more plainly here than anywhere else
that the tendency Of the African race is
downward rather than upward. In
making this statement I assume that
it is conceded that the Anglo-Saxor
race is recognized in America, as
it is all over the world, as the
dominant race; a race of robbers,
freebooters, plunderers, it is true, yet
the dominant race of the world; a race
which first learns to worship Thor, the
god of battles and of plumber, and
afterward takes time to learn the
outlines of the religion of Nazareth and
Gethsemane, the religion of love.
The murderers of the District OF
Columbia are of two classes, as seen in
the police court. They are the open
and-above-board murderers, who shoot
their victims in broad daylight-the
white criminals. Then there are the
fellows who sneak out from the dark
alleys to slug passing victim with
club, or stone or knife in order to rob
penny or a pocketbook-theya are the
black criminals. One thing is particu-
larly commendable of the colored MUIR
derer, and that Is, he never pleads in
sanity for his dark deeds.
Congress has recently passed a law,
applicable only to this locality; law,
and rigid one, against carrying con.
cealed weapons. This legislation is d.
rected particularly against the most
deadly weapon of the negro criminal,
the razor. Nearly every one of the
lower class of negroes carries razor
in his bootleg or somewhere about his
person. The police captains and lieu
tenants tell me that this new statute
will enable them to reduce the number
of dangerous assault cases and at the
same time minimize the work of the
judge in the police court. They are now
anxious for the enactment of law
which will reduce the number of drink
ing saloons, those fruitful sources OF
crime, SMITH D. Fry,
