THAT PESKY WATSON,

THE GEORGIA CONGRESSMAN DEFEATS
LEGISLATION IN FAVOR OF THE FAIR.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. 49, Especial
Telegram Watson, Of Georgia, the
Populist, is brave man. The members
of the Board of Lady Managers of the
Worlds Fair will probably characterize
him by different term. To-day in the
House of Representatives, Mr.. Watson
arrayed the women at large against him.
A Senate resolution was pending permit
ting the Smithsonian Institution to send
to the Worlds Fair articles exhibiting
the progress of women, and unanimous
consent was asked to pass it. In all the
assemblage of Congress there was not
one man who had the temerity to oppose
it until Mr.. Watson dashed into the arena
and called, II object The House held
its breath at this rash act of one who
would dare throw himself deliberately
IN front of the train of woman's progress.
Then men gathered around and besought
him to withdraw his objection, and not
to ride a Rosinante against the vesti-
buled limited. But Mr.. Watson re
NAMED firm, insisting that nothing
should be passed unless the fair is closed
on Sunday, and the Senate resolution
took its place at the foot Of the calendar.
Mr. Watson is said to believe that the
directors intend to open the fair on Sun
day whatever the law may be.

THE ONLY ONE OF THE KIND.

There are whitesmiths and blackmiths,
and Smiths of all degrees;
The Smiths abound in every State +; there
are Smiths across the seas;
There are tinsmiths and gunsmiths, and
Smiths in every trade
There are Smiths of high distinction, and
Smiths Of lower grade.
You'll find the name in history on nearly
every page;
You'll find it in each hemisphere, in
every cline and age:
Where the battles have been fiercest the
Smiths have fought and died;
In orgies and carOusals they have held
their own with pride.
There was Adam Smith, who wrote a
book still used In every college
There was Doctor Smith, the Presbyter,
Of theOl0gic knowledge;
And James Smith, the younger, in spite
of nomenclature,
Was elected to the Senate of the Jersey
Legislature.
There is Mott Smith at Washington, of
Sandwich Island fame,
Who came to represent the Queen we
hesitate to name;
But we search the wide world over,
where the English tongue is spoke,
For another Smith like the one whose
Christian name is HOke.

mustn't stay Not even the fathers OF
these young ladies are permitted to come
in"
The card of invitation which I carried
availed nothing, and as was making
the best of most ungraceful exit heard
echoing behind me ripples of feminine
laughter, and EXPLANATIONS of amaze
ment at my audacity, and the strains of
orchestra music, and the clapping of
hands in measure.
l caught a parting glimpse of other
visions on trapezes and horizontal bars
and parallels, and of little girls ranged
in open rank keeping time to the music
with calisthenic movements.
That was the way attended in pro
fessional capacity the fourth annual open
exhibition Of the Berkeley Ladies Ath-
letic club.
After the $50 ladies had seen all the
marching and calisthenics and dumbben
work, and the work at the weights and
swingings and twistings and gyrations
on horizontal bars, parallel bars, ira
pezes and flying rings; after the visitors
had been taken into the clubs house next
door and had been conducted through
the different departments, DR.. Mary Tay-
lor Bissell, the director of gymnastics,
told me Of the afternoons entertainment
and of the clubs condition.
'We have about 800 members alto
gether," she said, ''but only 80 took part
in today's entertainment. 1t was not, l
think. the most successful of the yearly
exhibitions we have given. Still it was
very satisfactory.
'|The theory we have followed is that
of light exercise and plenty of it, SO the
heavyweight events were not partici-
pated in so largely as the others. They
are not SO popular, believe, in mems
gymnasiums either.
'"The first event upon the programme
today was the marching. The drill.

THE CHICAGO BOODLERS HALTED
T. E.. W.

Last summer $2,500,000 of the
peoples taxes were given away by
Congress to a private Corporation
which is running the Fair at Chicago
A more unjust piece of Legislation
was never enacted. To make it less
Objectionable to the Masses, how
ever, a proviso was attached requlr-
ing this Money -making enterprise
with all its motley mixture of Bar
rooms, Restaurants, Gambling Dens,
etc., should be closed on Sunday.
The Corporation, having got their
money now proposes to set aside the
Condition upon which they got it.
Under these circumstances Mr..
Watson has felt justified in pulling
the check-rein on this insolent and
greedy gang.
Some time ago they tried to sneak
through a $4,000 addition to their
appropriation, in the confusion of the
early morning, under the unanimous
consent" rule.
Mr.. Watson knocked it out.
Then they got the female part Of
the outfit to come forward and ask
that very large portion of the Gov
eminent property in the Smithsonian
Institution be sent out to Chicago, at
the expense of the taxpayers, to be
used several years for the private
gain of the Corporation.
Mr.. Watson knocked this out,
also.
Thereby he raised howl. Let
'em howl!
If these ladies really wish to earn
the admiring gratitude of the coun-
try, they will advise the Corporation
to comply, honestly and promptly,
with the law of the land, in closing
up their show on Sunday.
Let them urge the recipients Of
public bounty to comply with the
Condition on which that bounty was
bestowed.
When this is done, they will be
able to obtain ''unanimous consent"

Mr.. Watson, M. c., Capitol, Washington:
DEAR SIR-Having read the enclosed
item, [ wish to express to you my sin
cere thanks for the firm stand you have
taken in this matter. am glad to know
that there is at least one man in Wash
ington who has the courage and man
hood to stand up for the right and give
his influence to maintain Gods laws,
even at the risk Of offending the board
of lady managers. am a woman, and
a strong advocate of Woman's rights,
but [ always try to govern my views
and actions in accUedaEce with Gods
commands. With dtspgpain have seen
that some of the laly managers have
failed to give their i-atluence in favor of
Sunday closing. The} woman wIo adj
vocates keeping the Worlds Fair open
on Sunday is unfit to be on the board of
lady managers. RzSs.s- dave no fair
than ignore the laws of God and man,
as some of the WoRld's Fair commits

should be kept open on Sunday to &C
commodate the foresso a--r. Foreigners do
not expect to find tNEIair open on Sun
day. They regard us Christian nation,
and would be surprised to come here and
find that we had forgotten the sanctity
of our American Sunday, and could lie
down and take up our religion to suit
any visitor. For what have Christian
men and women labored the past four
hundred years but to make better and
Christianize the world? And now comes
these Worlds Fair commissioners and
tell us that we are to Ignore the laws of
God and christianity because our rever-
ence of God and His commandments
might give Offense to some irreligicus
foreignerl Oh, shame, shame upon
such principles ! Would not every right
minded foreign man and woman despise

Worlds Fair shall not be opened on
Sunday. I have watched this Sunday

earnestly that Gods cause might win. I
cannot sufficiently express my gratitude
to you for the aid you have given this
Sunday closing. Stand firm, and let me
say in all earnestness, thank you.

it is remembered that the musica
instruments of primitive tribes conf
sist of horns and drums of all sizes
and degrees, we can readily imagine
that these Bards, fred up with a
proper amount of bad liquor and
turned loose in town, could raise
almost as much of racket as one Of
our Brass Bands.
No wonder that they were looked
up to with awe and admiration. The
athletic horn tooter is not to be
sneezed at anywhere. And the drum
thumper has never yet found place
where he didn't feel that he was as
big as any man IN town.
What sort of Poetry these Bards
dug out Of their heads [ have never
been able to discover. The world
has lost it. Perhaps that's one reason
why things are SO much out of joint
at this identical moment. But what
ever it was, the people were very
fond Of it and had great respect for
the men who could manage to get
the rhymes up to the sticking point.
At later period, when the Mis-
sionaries were trying to convert the
Gauls to Christianity, they could
make no progress till they put the
Scriptures into Poetry. When this
was done the people at once began to
embrace the new Faith.
What little knowledge there was
in Gaul the Druids and the Bards
monopolized for themselves. In
this way they kept the people ig-
norant, and therefore superstitlous.
The minds of men can always be
shackled when they are not given the
right to learn and to think. The
Druids and the Bards were selfish,
exclusive class, determined to main
tain their power and their privileges.
Therefore they denied to the Masses
the right to knowledge and thought.
You will notice, therefore, that
Gaul was divided into many clans
each having it's chief. There was no
King over all the Tribes.
These chiefs frequently made war
upon each other, and often united to
attack other countries. Below the
chiefs came the gentry. These were
the men who rode horses. No horse,
no gentleman.
The chiefs and the Riders Gas the
gentry was called) made up the priv
LEGGED class. They had no work to
do except to eat and drink and fight.
They were lazy, insolent, brave and
and brutal. Below them came the
common people, who were mostly
serfs or slaves, and who did all the
manual labor. It was their pleasant
duty to support the chiefs and no
bles on the best fruits of their toll, and
to feed themselves on such scraps as
were left.
Above the people and above the
chiefs and the Riders lowered the
Druids and the Bards, exercising
over the minds of all, both high and
low, despotic tyranny based on ig-
norance and cemented with the blood
of human sacrifice.

The most fashionable of coachmen

It's fourth annual open exhibition was

The exercises were held in the GYM

SKETCHES OF FRENCH HISTORY
THE ANCIENT GAULS.

THE ANCIENT GAULS.
The early history of the French,
like that Of all other countries, is
unknown. The facts are so largely
mingled with fiction that it is hard
to tell now much is real and how
much is fancy.
The best authorities, however,
assert that for many centuries before
the time of Caesar, the land had been
thinly settled by wild tribes of al
most savage people. Each tribe had
It's Chief, and the lower ranks of the
population was in a condition of
Slavery. They dwelt in caves or
rude huts, and occasionally they had
villages and towns. In their man
ners they were harsh, and they
were much given to drunkenness
and the crimes that go with it.
These people were known to the
Romans as the Gauls. They had
come into France from the direction
of Germany, and had driven out and
almost exterminated the original in.
habitants, just as we have driven out
the Indians.
A remnant of the original people
managed to escape destruction, and
still preserve their distinctive habits
and language to this day. They
dwell in the Pyrnees mountains, and
are known as the Basques.
One of the customs of this people
was this: When a ChieftaIn thought
it was time for his daughter to mar
ry, he would give a great feast and
invite all the marriageble young
men. At the end of the banquet
the girl would come into the COM
pany bearing q glass of wine. Hav-
ing inspected the various candidates
for her hand, she would give the
wine to him she preferred. This
settled the business, and the for
.tunate man got both the wine and
The woman. What the other fellows
got, we are not told; perhaps they
had to put up with cred liquor"
Once upon time a Gaulish Chief
tain near the sea-coast had ordered
such feast in order to marry off
his daughter. 1t happened that
vessel bearing some Greek strangers
had just come into port near by.
Being hospitable nabob, and very
much pulled up perhaps at the idea
of getting rid of an expensive
daughter, the Chief invited the
Greeks to the banquet. They of
course accepted. After they had
partaken of an elegant repast of
roast oxen with the hide on, stewed
boars Cooked pretty much as they
had come to HANDY and other deli
cacles of that sort, the blushing dam
sci came into the company with the
glass of wine.
The principal man among the
Greek strangers was a youth named
Euxenes To the utter demoraiza-
ton Of the Gauls, this girl walked
straight up to Euxenes and gave him
the wine. Thus had a complete
stranger come into the community
and won the heart and hand of the
tairest lady it contained.

Kearny stood alone inside the walls of

He crawled out through an embrasure,
passed the ditch and reached the causeway

Kearny served on the plains until 1858,
