He was going home to his wife and

road from the station was lonely one,

could, when he suddenly suspected that
a man behind him was following him
purposely. The faster he went the
faster the man went, until they came to
churchyard. ''Now," he said to him

he entered the churchyard. The man

and faced the fellow, and asked: sWhat

HON. THOMAS e. WATSON, OF GEORGIA
of the treasury department, have lived
temperate and commendable public and
private HIVES in Washington. The late
secretary of the treasury, Mr.. Window,
was pronounced temperance advocate.
In fact, the temperance sentiment
seems to prevail in the entire admins
tration, and the Legislative circles as
well. It is very clear to my mind that
the popular impression concerning tip
ping in Washington is erroneous, be-
cause it is exaggerated. It is true that
individuals here, as elsewhere, indulge
in strong drink.
few members of the house of rep
resentatfves are drinking men; but they
do not usually indulge their appetitea
during the day, and hence are not nn-'
der the baneful influence while con-
gress is in session. They surrender to
their unfortunate desires only at night.
These individuals, however, should not
be regarded as fair examples of the So
cial circles of official society in the ma
tional capital
In public address recently delivered
here. the speaker-Gen. cutcheen-as-
serted that the social customs of Wash
ington were responsible for much of
the evil resulting from the use Of intox-
icatilag drinks. Men and women. he
said were tempted beyond what. they
were able to bear. lost their moral bal
ance, and drifted into lives of sin. He

This is unfair, and untrue. Nearly
everyone of cur priests and pastors has
denied the truth of the statement made.

This rage for big NUNS" as they are
called colloquially, has been carried to
such an absurd length that the real
.stip- topper wears white or yellow
blossom as big as a small cabbage, and
nowhere have they been seen il, greater
,profusion than at the horse show.
The real, genuine fashionable element
tof New York society dresses, as a rule,
unobtrusively. 1t is the nicl1el-plated
.iunitator of swelldom who sports the
loud suits, the s'howling'' ties and the
big flowers, and it is the nickel-plated
imitators who constitute the bulk Of
the audiences at the horse show. Young
fellows who never sat in saddle in
their lives appear in yellow covert coats
over their evening dress, combination
about as appropriate as spurs would be
on dancing pumps. If there is one
thing which exasperates me more than
another it Is to see young dude with
the tails of his swallowtail sticking out
acouple Of inches below the abbreviated
narrative of covert coat.
A covert coat is designed for the pur-
pose of wearing over the pink when
going to the inject" It is made short
and the trails are slit up at each side in
order that it may hang easily over the
saddle. It is no more suitable for even
ing wear than bicycle suit would be,
vet will venture to assert that six
out of ten of the would-be young
swells who visited the horse show wore
covert coats Then to hear them talk
horse cyclone Of horse slang has
struck the town. A young woman is
not pretty girl, but ''likely Ally"
she is not stylish but a ''high stopper"
and so it goes until the reasonable man
begins to hate the whole equine race.
But the horse show is over, with its
sporty" looking dudes who could not
tell horse from COW except by the
horns and it's quiet, unobtrusive men
clad in immaculate evening dress who
could recite the pedigree and record OF
every horse in the garden and estimate
to within dollar of its selling value
and New York is looking for a new
amusement. We are to have no oper
this season and nobody seems to have
anv very definite idea of what will take
it's place. The genius who will invent
a new amusement will receive the
blessings Of society. Possibly Mr.. De-
Koven's Vaudeville club may flll the
bill, but I doubt it. ALLAN FoRMAN.

Tennyson adopted to escape visitors.
People used to wait for him for hours
on end, mostly Americans, whose peril
nacity irritated him greatly. The serv-
ants were always on the lookout for
such people, and quickly conveyed in
formation to the poet. He soon came to
understand that most of them were
quite content to see him walking in the
garden and go away boasting of the
circumstance. He would occasionally
dress one Of his laborers up in the his
toric SLOUGH hat and velvet coat. The
rustic would saunter along the garden
paths assuming as dreamy an express
sion as his intellectual condition would
admit, and the visitors would gaze vitb
reverence at him from their station on

A RENOWNED MULE.
How the Man Who stole Him Was Con

Memphis Commercial

How the Man Who stole Him Was Con-
victed OF Murder.
Memphis Commercial
a day OF two ago there died decrepit
old mule. whose niche In equine fame was
small, yet the mere fact that he was mule
flesh, equivalent 10 SO many dollars and
cents Led to the hanging OF negro about
eight years ago.
This mule belonged to a citizen at 800
Court street. aud as soon as the animal
breathed his last the owner promptly nOti-
fed Chief Davis that the notorious mule
was no more.
One wintry morning eight years ago the
body OF John Irain0T was found cold and
stiff in the NOncOunah Bottoms. He was a
young man we'll known in Memphis aud
fond OF sTOTt On this day lie had gone
down into the bottoms 10 hunt, ana when
his body was discovered his gun was lying
by his side lie had been murdered and his
pockets rihed, the criminal obtaining gold
watch ana several pieces Of jeWelry. There
was 40 ciew whatever tOithe murderer aud
the crime promised to be an unsolyed
mystery.
Months afterward, when the affair had
almost Quieted down, a citizen whose name
is not now recalled, lost 4 mule. and he
found that negro had stolen It. The police
found the mule in the possession Of John
Mckeaver. and arrested him for the theft
When searched at the police station several
paWn-tiCkets were found on MCkeaveT's
person. These tickets were traced to pawn
shops. in search OF further stolen property,
and one Of the pledges was the watch that
TrainOr had worn al the time Of bis death.
The negro was charged with the murder
and finally he confessed. lie had killed the
white man in order to rob him. He was
tried, convicted and hanged within a short
time.
Thus the existence Of this selfsame mule
that died a day or two or go furnished
fruit for the gallows Of Shelby County.

ATTACKED BY RATS.
Horrible Adventure OF Young Girl in
Dark Church BeIfry.

hOtflDie adventure OF Dung Ulrl In
a Dark Church BeIfry.
The Enqurer's North Plain Comm Special.
Miss Lavina Hull Of Myrtle Hill had a
narrow escape from death last night in the
belfry of the Baptist Church. Miss Huh is
IS years old and has performed the duties Of
jantrix Of the building for three years.
While she was ringing the bel for prayer
meeting the bell-rope suddenly parted,
After service, with lantern. she climbed
&c the belfry TO repair it.
When she reached the gloomy place she
found that the rope had been gnawed in two
by rats, near the ceiling. She began to
mend the strands. but had proceeded only a
little with her work when she heard q
squeaking sound behind her Looking
around she saw host Of shining balls in
the darkness.
She knew they we're rats and swung her
arms at them, but the animals did not dis
peTse. Their numbers rapidly increased
until she was completely surrounded by a
ring Of cleaning eyes. The girl became
alarmed and prepared TO descend to the
yestlbule of the church, but before she was
erect the vicious rodents rushed at her In q
body and sprang upon her, decorating her
flesh wherever they could find place tO'set
their teeth.
Miss Hull possessed a luxuriant growth
OF hair, which hung in a braid down her
back. The braid was almost severed from
her head by the rats and her arms and
shoulders bled pTOlu,ely from the wounds
made by the bites. She rang the bell loud
as she could and Arthur Raws0n and two
other young men who were passing rushed
into the church ana climbed 10 the bellry.
IL the struggle RawSon was badly bitten.
The physicians say 1t Will be many weeks
before the brave girl RECEIVERS from her in
iurips
