A DAVID B. HILL CLUB.
THE POLITICAL. POT STARTS
A.ROILING.

Some Asheville Democrats Head
ed by May or Charles ID. BlantOn
Will soon Organize a Club That
Will work for the Man From
Elmira.
"Will David Bennett Hill, United States
senator from..N New York. be the nominee
of the democratic party on the presiden-
tial ticket in the coming campaign?"
That is question that agitates
a large portion of this country at the
present time. And it is reasonably safe
to say that "D. B." (as well as several
other prominent men) would give
a neat little sum to be able to an
swer the question positively before the
democratic national convention meets in
Chicago.
Ashey!lle is considerably removed from
New York, but the question that is par
ticularly abroad in that state is in Ashe,
ville-of course, to lesser extent.
There are democrats here in Asheville
who want an answer in the affirmative
to the question.
And what is more, they propose if
nothing happens to show the faith that
is in them by organizing club to pro-
mote the interests OF the Elmira man.
Mayor Blanton is an ardent believer in
Senator Hill, and is getting signatures
to paper on which is written some
thing like the following:
I'VE the undersigned propose to organ
ize democratic club, the object of which
will be to secure the nomination of Da-
vid b. Hill, of New York, for the presi
dency."
The mayors name heads the list, and
there are several more than his-the list
now containing about forty names.
Mayor Blanton told THE CITIZEN that
the exact time of the formal organization
OF the club could not be stated, but il
would take place as soon as one hundree
names have been received.
This, he thinks, will be in very few
days. ano notice will be given when the
date has been fixed.
This will be the first Hill club organized
in North Carolina.
Now, what do the friends of Grover
Frances and Ruth propose TO do about
it2

COL. l.. w. ALLEN.
He Returned to His Home in
Arkansas Today.

Col. Lawrence W. Allen, who has been
here tor several years past, left today
for his home in Arkansas. He is an old
North Carolinian, but has lived long
time in the west, his return here being
induced by the necessity of attention to
matters of business connected with the
settlement OF old family properties.
Col Allen was soldier and officer OF
the late Interstate war, of skill and
judgment, and Of indomitable personal
bravery, his experience in desperate
adventure rivaling the creations of the
widest romance, illustrating those char
acteristics which set apart the western
people as the ideals OF all that is cour-
ageous, determined. and reckless of life
in the achievement of success.
Col. Aliens friends wish him safe
journey to his home, and cordial wei
come by his old comrades, many ofwhon
survive to warmly greet his return.

A GIRLS LITERARY CLUB

How to Form One and How 1t Should Be
Conducted With Success.
From the Ladies' Home Journal.
A literary club for girls may be organized in
some such manner as this: The girls need not
necessarily be of equal capacity or identical
tastes. In fact, some diversity in these respects
would be for the general advantage. But all
who take part should be interested in reading
and study and have in some measure the desire
and capacity to produce. The meetings may be
held weekly or atlonger intervals. The time &C.
cupied in reading, studying and discussing the
various questions that will naturally rise.
Once month each member should hand in a
story, sketch or poem (without signature),
which should be read aloud, in turn, by the
presiding officer or an appointed reader. No
name being appended, the party should feel free
to discuss the merits Of each manuscript sub
mitted, criticise and suggest improvements,
while at the conclusion a vote should be taken
as to which of those offered should be entitled
in the general opinion to the highest place.
Each girl should endeavor. not so much to copy
the style and manner Of any particular friend
or admired writer, but to improve, prune and
embellish her own natural production. At
stated intervals some older and experienced
literary friend should be invited to be present
and give the benefit of his or her opinion and
criticism. One subject might be agreed upon
as the theme for all pens. or each individual
could DO left to her own inclinations, and the
intermediate readings or study would. of course,
bear upon the articles written. Patience, per-
severance and good nature are most essential
to the success Of any such undertaking Moth.
ing would be accomplished were it pursued in.
termittently or taken up and presently dropped
again; nor unless all agree to q free expression
Of opinion without offense would the general
criticism be- Of service. To this object the alb.
sence of signatures would greatly conduce
though doubtless i'll time some il not all of the
writer's would come to be recognized by thei,
style.

A Glrl's Own Room.

Ashmors in the January Ladies' Home Journal
Let her learn to have around her the books
that are really hers, the photographs of her
special friends, the little bits Of bric-a-brac
which she has picked up here and there and
which were given her at Christmas-tide or on

THOSE WHO TEST TEA.
To Preserve q Delicate Taste Sense They
Allure High-Seasoned Food.

To Preserve q Delicate Taste Sense They
Allure High-seasoned Food
From the lrisl Times.
Tea tasting is a remunerative business. and
it should be- for experts devote their lives to
the cultivation Of taste and smell In order to
do this they deny themselves many luxuries.
But few Of them smoke, as that habit has a
tendency to blunt their sense Of taste. The
same is true Of wine and liquor drinking, and
those who do permit themselves at times to in
dulge in cigar or a glass of wine take only the
very best TO be obtained and then limit them
selves to very small quantities.
They are also careful about the seasoning of
their food toe much red pepper has tendency
| to blunt the sense Of taste, and the tea tester
who wishes to make himself successful in his
business has his food much less highly favored
with red pepper or spices than Is exacted by the
club man and tine eEicure.
The testing Of teas is usually done in the
morning, the tester preferring the hours before
noon for his work to those later in the day
He himself can give no logical reason for this
except that he finds his sense of taste more
acute during the hours before noon and con-
sequently prefers those hours for bis work.
When the test is to be made. forty or fifty tiny
cups are filie0 with tea freshly brewed and I'M
sweetened. The tester sips from each cup and
can at once tell the exact character, grade and
line OF tea he tastes.
II the tea given him to taste is a shade below
that usually to be expected from the grade he
can at once detect it, anu is relied upon by the
importer to estimate the difference in value
between such tea and the best tea of that
grade. He must also fix the value of all the
tea before HIM. even to the half and quarter
cent. 1t can thus be seen how very finely his
| sense OF taste is cultivated.
In tho naj ority of instances the testers are
a curious class. 1t has been said that thew
make living by committing slow suicide. 1t
| Is II well-recognized fact that the excessive and
constant drinking of tea is as dangerous to the
physical system as the excessive use of alcohol,
and those who ought to know assert that the
majority of the men engaged in this method of
earning q livelihood become so addic ted to the
stimulation produced by the drinking of tea
that they are as much slaves to the habit as is
| the Frenchman to his abslnthe or the Chinaman
| to his opium.
Notwithstanding these disadvantages, in
every tea brokers' Office there are ten or a
dozen boys who are being trained to the bust
ness One OF the first things that the appren-
thee Is taught is absolute cleanliness. He must
keep his person clean in order to deyelop
thoroughly the sense Of taste or smell neces-
snry to success in the business he has chosen.
This sense Is developed in him much like the
sense of touch is developed in the blind or the
| sense OF sight In the deaf and dumb.

A True Story.

FROM ST. NICHOLAS
1t appears that bright little ffteenth-cen-
fury Italian boy, q son Of humble and honest
parents, was possessed by strong desire to 60
to sea, and SO when he was about fourteen years
Of age he was allowed to make his first voyage.
or course there was no such thing as steam
navigation in those days, so this boy went on .
sailing ship, and pretty mean one at that. AZ
the start he was as proud and happy q little
mariner as one could wish to see. But trouble
came. The ship caught fire, and rs this italian
boy never had heard of your old friend Cssabi-
anca and the situation was desperate he sprsng
overheard. Fortunately he caught hold Of an
oar. and with its assistance he determined "
swim all the way to land, wherever il might be.
1t was hard tussle with the waves for boy
Of fourteen, but he had grit and resolution,
and, in short. there was other work waiting for
him somewhere, he knew. So he swan on fog
a mile, then another-and another-and an
other-and another-and finally, persevering
manfully, he accomplished the sixth mile, and
reached the land in safety I believe in that
boy; and I'd like to know what became Of him
in later years-what he accomplished; what he
suffered; whether he was a benefactor - ~
race OK not Who can tell me about him2
