HE FULFILLED HIS PROMISE.
DR.. Joseph R. Wilson Receives Legacy
for ofnoiating at the obsequies Of
Friend.

Sundays New York Sun contains
the statement that a curious clause
has been discovered in the will of
Rev. Robert s. Moran, Methodist
divine who died April 4, which
reads:
~ give and bequeath to Rev. DR..
Joseph r. Wilson, of Clarksville,
Tenn, the sum of $1,000 in case he
shall ofiiciate at my obsequies, and l
also give and bequeath to Rev. DIR.
Charles F. Deems, of the Church Of
the Strangers in the city of New
York, the same amount on the same
condition"
1t appears that these three minis
ters had been fast friends for more
than thirty years. Mr.. Moran had a
sufficient income and retired from
the ministry some years ago, but the
friendship continued to grow from
the time it was formed.
Mr.. Moran exacted solemn prom.
ise from each of his friends that If he
died first they would be present at
his funeral and would conduct the
services. They did not know then
or until few days ago that Mr.. Mo.
ran had made the keeping of this
promise the condition of legacy.
AS soon as Mr.. Moran died DIR. Ken.
nedy sent word to DIR. Wilson and
TO DR.. Deems. Mr.. Moran wished to
be buried in Wilmington, where he
had many friends. DIR. Deems went
to Wilmington with his friends,
and DIR. Wilson, leaving his
home, where he had been sick tor
many weeks, went to Wilmington to
fulfill his promise to the dead.
At the funeral services both clergy
men made addresses, eulogizing their
friend, thus fulfilling the conditions
of the will. Then DR.. Wilson come
back to Clarksville and DIR. Deems to
New York, neither knowing that
his performance of the promised
duty was to have reward. AS
they have fulfilled the conditions of
the will, each will no doubt receive
81 900 before many weeks. Mr.. Mo-
ran left only small estate, and had
no near relatives,

TIE EXCLUSION ACT.
Nothing Heard from China in Regard to
the Matter.

Nothing Heard from China in Regard to
the Matter.
WASHINGTON, May 1.-THE Chinese
minister was Monday asked if he had
anything new in regard to the lately
approved Chinese exclusion act
He said that he had received nothing
from his government in regard to the
matter, and, therefore, he had nothing
further to communicate. He said, how
ever, that he expected a reply from
Peking in a few days, but what it
would be could not be told.
John Russell Young, ex-minister to
China, was at the Chinese legation
Monday, having come over in response
to request from the Chinese minister
for conference. The present situation
of affairs was discussed, but Mr.. Young
did not feel at liberty to speak of the
conversation.
He said the question of the with
drawal of the Chinese legation would
be determined at Pekin. The Chinese
prime minister was a statesman of i'm
perious nature, and there was danger
that he might arrive at a sudden con-
clusion, as in the case of Mr.. Blair.

Special to the Leaf Chronicle.
CHARLESTON, s. c., May 11.--At
the Confederate Memorial Day cele-
bration here yesterday serious trouble
became imminent between Republi-
cans and Democrats. The cause of
the trouble was a Confederate flag
flying from Scott's drugstore on Cap
itol street. This number of Re-
publicans insisted on having taken
down, while an equal number of
Confederate veterans declared that 1t
would remain during the ceremonies
of the day. Those opposed to the
display of the flag were prepared to
forcibly haul it down, but better
counsel prevailed and trouble was
averted.

THE TWO CONVENTIONS.

The Democratic State Convention
to be held here May 26 for the selec.
ton of delegates to the National
Convention at Chicago, June 81, will
be well ATTENDED, but there will be
little, if any, more than the ordinary
interest taken in it.
There will be some struggle over
the delegates at large. Just here it
may be remarked that East, West
and Middle Tennessee will get one
each, and it is settled that another
must come from the Third district.
AS usual, Chattanooga will get the
plum offered the latter.
Jno. Allison, of Nashville, George
w. Ochs, Of. Chattanooga, and Jno.
M. Taylor, of Lexington, will go
through like flourish, but the other
man cannot be named. East Ten
nessee always wants to whip the rest
of the State under her dictation in
every convention, whether Demo
cratic or. Republican, and the ram
pant mountaineers never fail to howl
for everything in sight. The three
Democrats named are recognized as
leaders and will OF course have op-
position.
The LEAF-CHRONICLE correspon-
dent has quizzed the leaders from all
over the State who drop in and out
of this city every day, and the three
named are given in every state
ment.
THE REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE.
George w. Winstead is now the
Republican nominee and it has been
asked, what is his party going to do
with him. He is quite young, being
only thirty-four years or age, but is
lawyer of signal ability. The last
convention here followed the line of
every other Republican convention
that has been held, so far, in respect
to instructions to delegates. Indiana
Republicans instructed for Harrison
and set the mark for every other
State. Tennessee swallowed him will
ingly. But the acclaim rose to the
highest pitch at the name of James
G. Blaine. McKinley's name even
provoked more appause than Harri-
sons. The fact really was, that Har.
rison's postmssters and other officials
land over one-third OF the conven-
tion delegates were office-holders,
and the other two-thirds Office seek
ers) barely got their delegates
through and Harrison will not poll
as many votes as Winstead by a
large majority.

NASHVILLE, May 1.-THE battle
goes on day by day in the ranks of
Democracy. Turney and Buchanan
have the field to themselves, and
when the August election comes, each
will draw his legions under his wings
in the shadow of the capitol and
there will be a pitched battle.
Strange it is that when Turney
forges ahead one week, Buchanan
makes squirt, almost invariably, the
next week and goes him one better.
And, vice versa, Turney passes Bu-
chanan whenever the Ocala champ
ion makes squirt.
1t cannot be denied that Buchanan
lost among the many counties that
spoke last week, for the Turney
men conceded to him almost every
thing, and it'came very near being
his Waterloo.
This week and next will tell tale
which can be fairly interpreted to
mean who the successful candidate
may be, for some ten counties speak,
and they are counties of considerable
size.
When such counties as Madison,
with thirty-two, and Gibson with
thirty-eight, (and by the way Buch-
anan counted on both), speak out for
Turney, it necessarily has aniimport-
ant effect on the smaller counties ad-
joining them. Realizing this the
Turney men are straining every
nerve to carry the larger ones while
the Buchanan men are pandering to
the small counties, for in them lies
his strength.

FILlAL DEVOTION.
a JnpaneseGirl Who Shed Her Blood for
Her Fnther.

a JapaneseGirl Who Shed Her BLOOD for
Her Father.
A very touching but painful incident,
illustrating the depth of ignorance and
the wasted powers of self-abnegation
which exist among Japanese women, has
just been brought to light by the Kol1-
kai. The story runs that florist
named Toyoshima Salsichi, fifty years
of age, was attacked by some disease of
the brain, and had been confined to his
bed since January Is. His daughter,
Yonc, aged sixteen, who was engaged
as servant in the house of military
officer, was deeply grieved by the ILL
ness of her father and his apparently
hopeless condition.
She went barcfooted day by day to
Solsakuji temple to pray, but all to no
purpose. Her father continued as bad
as before. At last one night an old man
with snow-whitc hair appeared to her
and told her that if she wished her
father to get we'll she must give him q
cupful of blood from Il girl sixteen
years of age. On awaking she decided
that she would carry out the old mans
instructions.
She procured n sword from her mas
ter's house and went home, telling her
parents about her dream and that she
intended to give her father n cup of her
blood. Her father, Mortified at his
daughters conduct, took the sword
from her and demonstrated with her.
She returned to her work, but on the
same night she cut her left arm in two
places and carried the cup of blood to
her father, imploring him to drink it.
The Mortified parents sent for doc
tor and had her wounds dressed and did
their best to drive away her supersti-
tious beliefs. This is, of course, only
an exaggerated instance of the super
stition and ignorance which leads to all
the other sacrifices made by women for
their parents in Japan.
