Autumn.
The name of it is autumn,
The hue Of it Is blood
An artery upon the hill,
A vein along the road.
Great globules in the alleys.
And Oil the shower of stain
When winds upset the basin
And spill the scarlet rain.
1t sprinkles bonnets far below,
Itgathers ruddy pools,
Then eddies like a rose away,
And leaves me WITH the hills

WASHINGTON. June THE quickest time
on record In the passage Of one Of the gen.
eral appropriation bills was made In the
Senate to-day in the case Of the diplomatic
and consular bill. The amendments reported
to 1t by the committee on appropriations
were numerous and some of them were of
sufficient Importance to attract, under or
binary circumstances, attention and lead to
discussion. But just as fast as Secretary
McCook could read them and President Pro
Tenn Manderson could declare them agreed 60
they were rushed through. Mr.. Hale
had charge OF the bill. but further than to
make very brief explanation Of the group
of amendments touching the status of for-
eign missions, he refrained from all remarks
and no other senator said a word. And so
in exactly half an hour the bill was con-
sidered and passed.
The calendar was then taken up, but after
passing three unimportant bills the general
Discrimination to enter on work in Washing
ton. while all the public interest was
conferred in Minneapolis, found expression
in a motion to adjourn, which was agreed
to, after the Senate had been In session Just
an hour and a half.

A PROHIBITION FIZZLE.
ONLY SIXTY OF THE FAITHFUL
TURN OUT AT THE CONVENTION.

Hon. Walter B. Hill Gave Notice That
He Would Not Accept a Nomination
for Governor and the Convention
Leaves the Selection of Ticket With
the State Executive Committee.
ATLANTA, GA, June About sixty
prohibitionists, the majority of them resi-
dents of Fulton county and the Fifth con-
gressional district, composing the prohibi-
ton state convention, met here to-day. The
gathering was notable for its lack Of fervor
as we'll as its insignifcance in numbers. An
attempt was made to put out full ticket
for the state Offices, but after hopeless
casting about for candidates willing to be
sacrificed the convention left the selection
Of the ticket with the state executive com.
mittee, which will announce it by Aug. Is.
1t was understood that Hon. Walter B. Hill
of Macon would be nominated for governor,
but a telegram was received from him
early during the session stating
that he would not accept such nomination
under any circumstances Before adjourn
ing, however, the convention passed a
resolution indorsing Mr.. Hill for the second
place on the national prohibition ticket,
and instructed the delegation to the
national convention TO vote lot MIN as
unit
CULPEPPER A CANDIDATE.
When Mr. Hill declined the honor of
nomination for governor, Rev. ]. B. Gull
pepper, the evangelist, who is well-re-
membered here on account Of his sensational
tent sermons year ago, was put up. He
was an uncertain quantity, however, and the
whole ticket was withdrawn. Delegates to
the national convention were chosen. There
were not enough prohibitionists present
to select full delegation and number Of
vacancies+were left. Rev. Sam Small was
the high muck of the convention.
He had himself elected chairman, and then
ran the machine at a rate that would have
done Tom Reed credit. During a recess
Rev. Small got the delegates from the
Fifth district together aud was nominated
by them for congress. He accepted, and
will make the race on the Ocala platform
with a prohibition plank, provided nothing
better turns up.

Ever since the convention there has been
talk about Mr.. Jervey's position and his
having been pledged to support the alliance
candidate in Chicago. This morning he
settled the question in a card. Among
other things he said: mo later than
February at the head of a series of inter-
views the NelCs and Courier published my
unreserved preference for Mr.. Cleveland
as the democratic presidential candidate,
and when l was considered as a delegate q
telegram was sent asking me first whether
Mr.. WAGNER would stand as candidate for
free silver and against Mr.. Cleveland;
secondly whether l could 80 stand; and
thirdly II neither could to name some
one who could and to wire immediately
at once went to MIR. Wagener's Office and
found him not in. Later | interviewed
three other gentlemen, all Of whom de-
clined the terms. l thereupon wired and
answered, stating that | could not stand
and knew no one who could. l concluded
that l had settled the matter and thought
no more Of it until the next morning, when
l read that had been elected. Now l see
that some one states that ii was the distinct
understanding that if l accepted and went
as delegate to Chicago l was to go as
an anti-Cleveland free silver rep
resentative." Mr.. Jervey goes on TO say
that he can't understand the matter at oil
and concludes by saying that he did moi
seek the honor and plainly answered the
inquiry put TO him. Il have not the slight.
est intention under any circumstances what.
soever of declining to serve in favor of any
one." Mr.. Jervey's father was collector Of
the port in Charleston during Mr.. Cleve

convention OF the Prohibition party met

pointing, the committee on credentials
reporting only sixty-three delegates pres
emit The convention was called to order
by Col. J. R. Miller, chairman of the state
executive committee. W. W. Gibbs of
Stanton was elected chairman, aud W. B.
Wilder of Portsmouth, secretary. Twenty
eight delegates were elected to the prohibit
ton national convention, which meets in
Cincinnati on June 80, and a full
electoral ticket was also elected.
The resolutions adopted sever all
connecting with the Democratic and Repub-
lican parties; favor the suppression by law
of the manufacture of or the traffic in in
toxicating liquors, condemn the administra-
tion fostering American breweres, by ex-
tending the business OF drunkard making
into our sister republics of South America ,
favor free raw material; prohibition of

system. The final blow In the resolution is
the one aimed at the last legislature for
failure to pass legislation asked by the
temperance people.

When he got in good range the boys opened
fire on him from several different
points, but, being long, slim,

TO escape their bullets. When they had ex-
