terms the alarming increase of mob

JUDGE WooDs, of the Madison County
Circuit Court, in his charge to the grand
Jury last week, called their attention
to the ''Rock City Stomach Bitters, y
kidney Specific" "Home Cordial, .
s'Home Bitters,'' "Gilt-Edge Bitters''
and other drinks, which were charac'
terized as subterfuges for evading the
four-mile law. He called upon the jury
to look after these closely. He charged
the law strongly touching the sale OF
liquors of any kind on election days
and on Sundays and called the atten-
tion of the jury especially to their duty
In this matter.

Remains Laid to Rest.

NASHVILLE, Sept 19.-With simple
but solemn ceremonies the remains of
, James Knox Polk, tenth president of
the United States, and those of his ven-
Grated wife, Mrs. Sarah Childress folk,
were today removed from the tomb at
Polk Place, the old family residence in
this city, to picturesque spot in the
State capitol grounds and there rein
TERED. The services at Polk Place and
Capitol Hill were very impressive and
the occasion was observed with due
honor and respect by the State, the city,
the church and the public. During the
hour fixed for the removal the public
offices and business establishments were
closed, and the bells in the city hall
and the various churches were tolled.
At o'clock the remains were taken
from the tomb on the east front of Polk
Place and reverently borne into the
| drawing-room of the historic mansion,
where Rev. J. III. McNeilley, D. D., pas
tor of Glen Leven Church, made some
brief remarks and offered fervent
prayer.
1t was in this room two years age
that DR.. McNeilley officiated at the
funeral of Mrs. Polk, who passed peace.
fully away at the age of 8s years. Here,
too, forty-one years previous, Rev. John
N. McFerrin, d. D., delivered discourse
over the body of President Polk.
1t is a remarkable coincidence that
Mr.. w. r. Cornelius, the undertaken
who had charge Of the funeral arrange.
ments today, acted in similar capacity
at the burial of both President and Mrs.
Polk At the conclusion of the services
at the house, the remains were conveyed
to the hearses, each of the two vehicles
being drawn by four white horses. The
cortege being formed the journey &c
Capitol Hill was begun.
At the tomb at the capitol the services
were under the direction of Rev. Jerry
Witherspoon, D. D., of the First Rresby-
terian Church, of which Mr.. Polk was
member. DR.. Witherspoon made re-
marks appropriate to the occasion, and
was followed by Rev: S. A. Steele, ID.
of McKendree Methodist Church, who
offered prayer. The benediction was
pronounced by DR.. McNeilley.
A military salute of twenty-one guns
was fired and the great assemblage dis
persed.
After the death of Mrs. Polk suit was
brought in the Chancery Court by de-
scendants of President Polk to set aside
the will of the president anddivide Polk
Place among them. The chancellor de-
cided that the presidents will was void
inasmuch as it provided for perpetuity
by declaring that the property should
forever remain in the possession of the
Polk family, passing from time to tim
to the worthiest bearing the name OF
Polk. The general assembly soon after
ward passed a resolution setting aside a
site for tomb.

was race for life that continued a

Americans In France and England.


1t is likely enough that had the second
empire lasted France and not England
would have been selected by the Ameri-
can millionaire as his European refuge.
Paris, not London, was the place to
which it was said that good Americans
went when they died and to which
Americans good, bad and Indifferent
used to flock in former days. At the
court Of Napoleon III eminent citizens
and citizenesses of the United States
were always especially welcome, and the
court Of Napoleon III created and con-
tro1led Partisan society. At that time,
too, Americans were, above all things,
urban in their tastes and pursuits. With
thesports and pastines in which English
men of rank and fortune occupy them
selves they had little or no sympathy,
and hotel in Paris was infinitely more
in their line than such rural retreat as
Mr.. Astor purchased from the Duke of
Westminster.
A palace on the banks of the Thames
would then have been about the last
place in which one could have expected
to find an American millionaire, and the
Champs Elysees, not Cliveden, would
have been as far into the country as he
would have cared to 60. Only quarter
of a century ago two well known citizens
of New York, Mr.. William Butler Dun
can and Mr.. Samuel r.. Barlow, were
much wondered at for having each
bought retreat, one at Staten Island,
the other at Long Island, to which they
were in the habit of retiring from Satur-
day to Monday and there entertaining
their friends. What the establishment
would have been if not Long Island, but
the island of Britain had been the site oil
their acquisitions it is not easy to mag.
