Prod Grand on pIplom.o,-

Colonel Fred D. Grant, in his address
at the dinner in the Brooklyn Union
League club, spoke of diplomacy and
concluded by giving his ideas of the
qualifications diplomat should possess.
First" he said, "a diplomat should be
absolutely loyal to his own government,
for no foreign statesman will respect or
trust man who has not always been
loyal to the country he represents. He
must be sufficiently educated in his pro-
fession to be able to intelligently discuss
the intercourse between nations and pro-
pose honorable and fair dealings for the
future, and he should be able to do this
in the French, which is the diplomatic
language, in the language Of the country
to which he is accredited, as well as in
his own tongue. Second, a diplomat
should, upon every possible occasion,
show most cordial feelings for the gov
ernment, customs and institutions Of
the nation to which he is accredited and
make every one with whom he comes in
contact feel that he is their friend
Without these qualifications a diplomat
can be of little use to his country, and
his record will be either inglorious or
utterly devoid Of Importance. "-Phils-
delphis Ledger.

Tennessea's Attractions.

There is growing inquiry for farm
ing lands in Tennessee, People are leav-
ing the bleak northwest and seeking
homes in other parts where the condi-
tions Of life are not so hard. Tennessee
has extraordinary attractions, because
of the variety of employment its natural
resources afford. There are the noun
tains and the mines and the timber OF
east Tennessee, the unparalleled stock
raising advantages of middle Tennessee
and the cotton and fruit lands and for
ests of west Tennessee. Each one ol
these sections has an important manu-

The following was one Of the most
striking incidents Of the day on which
all that was mortal of the late mayor of
Chicago was laid at rest:
One of the bands that had marched in
the funeral procession when passing the
Auditorium building south on Michigan
avenue on its homeward march in the
evening struck up the tune of "Annie
Laurie" The music was cheerful and
stirring. A large crowd naturally gath
cred in front of the hotel to see and hear
the band and view the regiment of sol
diers that followed in its wake. Those
who at first failed to recognize the fa'
miliar air, and even many Of those who
did. wondered at the lively strains from
a band which had but few hours pre-.
viously been playing solemn funeral
dirges in the procession from which they
were returning.
Gradually the meaning of it all dawn
ed upon the minds of the people, and the
words, "For my bonnie Annie Laurie
would lay me down and dee, doubtless
were silently spoken by those who re
called the last word that fell from thu
dying lips of Carter H. Harrison-"An

He Was Fond Of Celery.


If celery is the nerve bracer that some
are disposed to consider it, there is one
man in Philadelphia who is in no danger
of nervous prostration. Agray bearded,
brown wigged, mild eyed, middle aged,
imperturbable little old man walked Sc
dately into we'll known Chestnut street
cafe the other night, doffed his hat and
coat, sat down to table, tucked nap
kin under his chin, drank the whole OF
glass of ice water placed before him
by the waiter and said, Bring me an
order of celery, all white and clean,
Fright, sir" said the waiter hesitating'
ly, That's all" murmured the little
old man as he pushed out his glass for
fresh supply of water.
The celery came, the little man quick
ly devoured that; called for another or
der, devoured that; called for another
order and made that disappear, and sc
ON till all the walters, all the oyster open
eners. all the attendants, the cashier and
customers were beholding him in aston
ishment. AS the last bit of the succu'
lent vegetable disappeared the waiter
turned over the little mans check
amounting to 80 cents. All unconscious
of the furore he had created, the cham
pion celery eater pulled on his overcoat
carefully adjusted his hat, gave thu
waiter dime, pulled on his gloves, pai'
his check at the desk, lighted cigar
said 'Celery's not much good yet" an'

GRAVITY and Impetus.

A proposition which provoked great
deal of argument and upon which much
paper was wasted and the laws OF gray
ity and impetus sadly mangled was the
one about the result of dropping leaden
stone from the top of the mast OF rap
idly moving vessel. The theorists go'
hold of the subject and straightway ap'
nlied their best knownrules and maxlms
to the problem. Some demonstrated that
the weight would fall straight down, and
| while it was falling the ship would pass
| from under it and it would fall some
where astern, or perhaps hit the man al
the wheel. Others held that it would
fall few feet from the mast, and YET
others that it would plump down rign'
At the foot. This problem was solved ID
the usual way by one who was not a 'hs
orist, but who could climb a mast whicl
he did forthwith, and dropping In,
weight found that 1t took theimpetus .
the vessel and fell right at the foot OF IN;
mast, exactly as it would have done na'
the vessel been standing perfectly stiil-

~ GERS and Refuse to Slow Up.
The CITY officials of South Enid, in tn,
4 norokee strip, are making life burden
.mo 10 Rock Island trainmen. Georg,
nvis Missouri Pacific official, who re
srued here today, tells a remarkable
sorv about the two Ends and the trou
vs Rock Island trainmen experience in
'stting their trains through the south
,wn. South Enid is the town established
" the government, while North Enid, 6
rile or so away, is Cherokee allotment
,ovn. in which the Rock Island has ar
interest. There is a depot at North Enid
vbere the trains stop. Passengers fol
South Enid disembark there and go the
baance of the way in hacks.
South Enid is booming town, and
as legislators, full of their new power,
make ordinances TO cover all the exigen-
ees of life in brand new town. They
have been greatly worried at the lack of
moper railroad facilities, and to move
he company they recently passed an or
dinance compelling it to run its trains
through the town at speed not greater
than four miles an hour under penalty
Of fine not less than 81 900 for each Of

In describing the condition of things
AZ South Enid. Davis said: "At the out
skirts of the town the authorities have
stationed man with flag, and when a
train approaches he lowers the flag and

Jumping on the train and setting the

affixed to their coats board every train
as it goes through town in an endeavor
to serve papers on the conductor while
he is within the city limits.
Before the train gets within the town
limits, however, the conductor always
gets in the express car and is protected
by the express messengers with their
winchesters from any interference from
the men with the papers. The company
has informed the conductors that if any
