SMITH DECLINES no SPEAK.

He is Afraid of Committing Himself
and Senator Higgins--An Interview by
Prominent Democrats.
Special Corresuondence ot Gazette and journal
LAUREL, Nov. Yesterday, after the
statements of Smith and Higgins appeared,
Major Wootten was anxious to have Smith
meet him before notary and each to an
swer five questions embodied in these de-
malls.
A Republican was sent to Smith, but he
reported Smith as replying that he should
do no such id thing.
Why?
Smith" Because | would not believe
Ike Wootten on his oath"
A delegation of Democrats, consisting of
ex-senator Bacon, x-Representatiye Il.
ii. Adams and DR.. Fowler, then waited on
him at his store and post office, when the
following dialogue took place.
pr, Fowler-"George, there seems to be
a discrepancy between your statement and
Isaac j. Wootten's affidavit. We demand
that YOU and ne go before Squire Elliott
and answer yes or no to four or five ques-
tons pertaining to what is embraced in
these statements"
smith, shall not do it."
WHY" .--
Smith, because you would still believe
what Wootten says"
Fowler-"It is likely we would believe
Woottcn, but the public ought to know
which to believe"
smith, shall not do it,
Fowler-"Why?
Smith-'Because have something more
want TO bring out"
Fowler-"But let us clear it up as far as
it has gone and then begin again"
Smith, can't do it now"
Fowler-"Then, you decline?"
Smith-"No, | don't, but 1 wont do il
now"

denial on oath, or else stand branded as a
falsilicr,"
Smith, shall not do it now
Fowler-"Then you decline?"
Smith-"No, | don't decline, but can't
do it now
Fowler-"Yes, YOU do decline"
The three gentlemen were at the door
and when this was said they then left the
building. It was nearly time for the last
train going north and in few minutes
Smith was seen going towards the depot

y

an independent people Is an outrage.
Has this country lost its ideas of liberty?
Has it waded through revolutionary blood?
Has il adopted its constitution, that now,
at the close of the nineteenth century, we
should see people sit supne under this

this John Hampden resented the imposts

Read back the history of the world. De-
cay comes when country adopts laws
vicious in principle, but which work well

If you ask me who was the best King of

system of government produced Louis y,
ri, XII, XIII, and XIV. 1t produced the
Bastile and the revolution. 1t is the begin
ming OF the end.
The price that has been paid is too small.
No treasure, no tribute could atone for the
sacrifice of that flag or atone before God
for the shame Of the country's loss.
If legislation is vicious there will always
be an attempt to escape from it. Knowing
the people will rebel the Republican party
has tried to emasculate the national leEis-
luture.

Staten-Islanders in the vicinity of
Fort WadSwOrth relate an odd story
about a tree which has grown up on a
dock extending into the water from a
cliff just above the quarantine sta
ton. The dock is constructed OF
piling and logs, and extends from the
shore a distance of about fifty feet. OF
which twenty-five feet are made up
of earth deposits between the piles.
In the center Of this earth rises an
enormous willow tree, around which
a fence has been built. Outside OF
the fence heavy benches are placed,
ON which the fishermen and Others
who use the dock can take their COM
fort. 1t is related that when the
dock was first started in small way.
nearly twenty-five years ago. small

and was drifted so that it took root
in the earth, where it has now be-
come great tree. The fishermen OF
that day discovered it taking root
Strengthened it up, protected it with
environments and have ever since de
Tended it, 50 that they will not per
nit a person even to cut a twig from
it. They say that the tree has beer

who despOils it brings bad luck tt

The Bank of England's doors are
now so finely balanced that the clerk.
by pressing knob under his desk,
can close the outer doors instantly,
and they cannot be opened again eX-
cept by special process. This is done
to prevent the daring and ingenious
unemployed of the great metropolis
from robbing the famous institution.
The bullion department of this and
other great English banking estab.
lishments are nightly submerged in
several feet of water by the action of
the machinery. In some of the Lon
don banks the bullion departments
are connected with the managers
sleeping rooms, and an entrance can
not be effected without setting off an
alarm near the persons head. If a
dishonest official during the day or
night should take even as much as
one from pile of one thousand
sovereignS the whole pile would in
stantly sink and a pool of water take
its place, besides letting every person
in the establishment know of the
theft.

THE BOYS.

Some philosopher says let the boys use the
tools all they want to. 1t Will cost some
thing in nails, but they will learn more in
doing their work than the nails cost. This Is
GOOD advice. In some of our schools in our
larger cities they are now training lads to
the use of tools. Some boys are natural
mechanics while others cannot white q
round stick. But for the lad who has a bent
this way nothing gives him SUCH happiness
as to be engaged in the work of constructing
some implement or toy. No man who has
ever been through the delightful occupation
of kite building would exchange his expert
ences for anything that later years have Civ
en- him. The JOY when the first kite went uI
has never been surpassed by all the triunphs
of after days. Take care of the boys and
when they are sick with that lanSuid feeling
that is a prcmonitory symptom OF malaria
give them the Laxative Gum Drops and they
will soon lie we'll. These gum drops are the
best cathartic in the world. They contain
nothing deleterious and they will keep in any
climate, and in all weathers. They are the
best things for children and persons OF weaS
stomachs, for they will produce the proper
result in every case where their use Is per
sisted in. The small boxes cost ten cents
the large ones twenty-five cents.

said, -and has gone on your horse to
New Orleans. He is innocent Of what
YOU accuse him of, but he wishes to save

voice that SO long ago had allotted to
him his share OF the hotel veranda in

hath will he give for his sweetheart.

Made ~ Difference.

An uptown dry goods store in New
York last summer tried the expert
ment of giving soda water to its
patrons free. An enormous fountain.
well equipped for service was placed
in the back part OF the store, and on
each hot day half dozen attendants
were kept busy serving clamOrous,
thirsty and never diminishing crowd.
One day upward of 1000 glasses OF
soda water were drawn from that free
fountain. This year the firm charges
3 cents a glass for its soda water. and
as a result the patronage has fallen
off to a remarkable extent. On two
very hot days sometime ago, although
the store was well filled with Gus
toners, the soda fountain at no time
was overwOrked.
