Kellar Anderson's Escape from the Miners
due to Influences of the order.
Memphis Pythian Journal.l
Brother Col. Kellar Anderson, Of
Coal Greek fame and former cap
tain Of Tennessee Division No. l.,
has been spending the last few days
at home with his family. The ge-
NAL Colonel, whenq questioned about
the truth Of the report that the in
fuence of the order had much to
do with his escape from the infuri-
ated miners during the height of
the trouble in East Tennessee, 1e-
| piled that it most certainly had, but
that he was not aware of che fact
until after he was safe with his COM
mand. The escape of Colonel An
derson from death was more thar
"close," and will illustrate how
strongly the ties of fraternity binc
men together. We hope at some
future time to give, in presentablt
form, the complete history of this
case. 1t will prove, indeed, tina
true chivalry is not dead, and tina
men can to-day, and do, run fearful
risks in their devotion to a dut,
and a purpose.

its Disposal.

When Robert Bruce, King of
Scotland, lay upon his death-bed
in the year 1929, he remembered
that he had registered VOW to
help wrest the Holy Land from the
heather Turks. 1t was clear that
the time for fulfilling this VOW had
passed; but new thought present

moved and sent to Jerusalem for
burial? To make the story short:
This was decided upon, and Sir
James Douglas was commissioned
to carry it in a silver urn to a
place as near as possible to where
the Savior was crueified" and there
bury it. But on arriving in Spain,
Sir James, with the precious relic
strung to his neck 10y a chain, vas
killed in battle with the Moors.
Sir Simeon Locard returned with
the heart to Scotland and deposited
it under the altar Of Melrose Alb

started after them, made Is miles
that night, so miles the next day
and camped. 1t happened that
the Indians we were pursuing
had camped but 3 miles ahead of
us. AS | said, it was very cold and
the Indians had their blankets up
over their heads, so they did not
hear us, as the next day we came
upon them suddenly, and they
would not have discovered us until
we would have been right on top of

We charged. The Indians scatter

one. We pursued the other fellow
through the timber for several
miles, his trail being visible in the
snow. When we reached the open
plain he had disappeared. We
knew that he was hiding in one of
the gulches. In a few moments we
discovered his pony. Turning we
saw him on the.other side of an un-
dulation in the prairie. As he
reached the top Of the divide he
waived his shield and yelled def
ance at us. We put after him, but
could not find him in the lodges of
rock. Lee then proposed that we
separate, which we did.
1t seems that the Indian was but
about thirty feet from General Lee
at the time, hiding behind a ledge
of rocks. AS Lee came upon him
he fired an arrow at him. Lee saw
him in time to dodge and the arrow
went through his arm, breaking off.
The Indian was a chief a big, tall
powerful muscular fellow, over six
feet in height. General Lee was
then a. small man., but he is the
bravest and pluckiast man il the

were locked in each others arms in

carrying his revolver in his right

She TRIED TO TELL 1T.

Woman has a weakness for tooling
people about her age. No matter how
old she Is, she would like to be always
mistaken for sweet sixteen or there
abouts. Wrinkles may rumple her fore
head and her throat may have a tanned
and ropey appearance: her eyes may be
sagging and her hair wear a depth of
snow that would make trouble for the
STRENGTHENING Commissioner of this
city. but she will never give in that she
Is other than blossomy and youthful.
1t is one of the privileges OF the sex
that woman Is permitted to trample the
truth In making statements concerning
her age. She has fibbed and befuddled
us SO much on this question that we
have come to look upon her attempts to
tell her age as joke. We know she is
equivocating and we simply wink the
other eye. And we love and admire her
for the persistence with which she re-
fuses to reveal 1t.
II 1t were not that we nurture a
sweet and unfading affection for the
female who fabricates about her age
we might be led to place a wreath OF
Ivy on the brow of the lady who told
the Police Sergeant at the Thirtieth
street station that che was 100 .'ears
old. We would do this in the ocliet
that she was telling the truth. But
we are reasonably certain by deduction
from previous experiences with anti.
quated chippies that she is not. The
lady Is probably 200 years old. and I,Wt
years Is as near as she can come &c

night last week the dog away and was not

enough to lose his sleep for a dog When he
got upstairs he told the mother OF the house, and
she did not know what to do: but what do you
think she did, She went to the front-room window
and waited and waited for her dog, but could
not see him. Well. about o'clock in the
morning along came the dog all wet and dirty,
and his mistress in the window yet. Up she

CONSPIRACY AGAINST RBPEAL.

When President Cleveland called an

Silver Purchasing clause OF the Sher-
man law the Republican politicians in
this city and elsewhere. declared that
repeal would be defeated. and that the
President would have a mice job" in
getting a repeal bill through the Senate.
There can be no doubt that the Re-
publican leaders hoped to embarrass
the Administration by a continuance Of
the financial and business troubles their
own policy had drawn upon the coun-
try. and desired to prevent the Demo-
cratic party from gaining the credit
Of restoring prosperity by repeating
Republican laws.
1t is now reported from Washington
that a Republican Congressional eau
Gus. to be held this evening. Is called
for the purpose OF considering the ex-
pediency OF defeating the effort of SEN
ator Voorhees, to press the repeal bill
to a vote.
This policy is urged on the Republi-
cans by ex-Speaker Reed and other un-
scrupulous partisans. 1t Is the duty of
the Democrats to compel the Republi-
can Senators to show their hands. The
conspiracy. II It really exists, should not
be suffered to succeed without exposure.

to aid tho Silver men in defeating re-
peal in return for the assistance Of
Democratic and Populist silverites in

take care to expose the plot and to
