A RaCkinq Couch

Cured by Ayers Cherry Pectoral.
Mrs. p. ID. HAIL, 217 Genessee ST.,
Lockport, N. Y. says:
"Over thirty years ago, I remember
hearing my father describe the wonder
full curative effects of Ayers Cherry
Pectoral. During a recent attack of La
Grippe, which assumed the form of a
catarrh, soreness of the e1ungs. accom-
panied by an .aggravating cough, I
used various remedies and prescriptions.
While some Of these medicines partially
alleviated the coughing during the day,
none of them afforded me any relief from
that spasmodic action of the lungs which
would seize me the moment attempted
to lie down at night. After ten or twelve

HE DID NOT KNOW.

The Boston Transcript tells the fol
lowing story of Prof. Blackie: Blackie
was lecturing to a new class with
whose personnel he was imperfectly
acquainted. A student rose to read a
paragraph, his book in his left hand.
"Sir!" Numbered Blackie, "hold
your book in your right hand" And
az the student would have spoken,
mo words, sir! Your right hand, I
sayy"
The student held up his right arm,
ending piteously at the wrist. ''Sir, I
haze nae right hand" he said.
Before Blackle could open his lips
there arose such a storm of Kisses as
one, perhaps, must go to Edinburgh to
hear, and by it his voice was over
borne. Then the professor left his
place and went down to the student he
had unwittingly hurt and put his arm
around the lads shoulders and drew
him close, and the lad leaned against
his breast.
my boy" said Blackie-he spoke
very softly, but not SO softly but that
every word was audible in the bush
that followed on the class-room-''my
boy, you'll forgive me that I was over
roughR 1 did not know-I did not
know" He turned to the students,
and with q lock and tone that came
straight from his great heart, he said
''And let me say to you all, l am re-
joiced to be shown that I am teaching
q class of gentlemen" Scottish lads
can cheer, as well as hiss, and that

BEDTIME STORIES.

/ wish, says a writer, I were able to
write all the go-to sleep stories that are
told to the little folks all over the land
every night, said a tender-hearted
mother the other day. 1t makes me
positively sad to think of the small
brains that are filed with distorted
images, hobgoblins, ogres, giants and
the like, just as reason is losing its hold
upon them for several hours. I don't
think mothers realize what an infu-
ence upon a child's life, and even upon
its life after it has ceased to be a child,
is exerted by this apparently triaing
matter Of how it goes to sleep.
Every night when I watch my little
daughter working of the big thoughts
that sweep over her brain as her tired
body begins to relax, while her mental
ity seems to be briefly and proportion
ately stimulated, I tremble to think Of
the harm that could be done to her or
any child-for Mabel is not an abnor-
NAL child in any way-by an ignorant
nurse or thoughtlesss parent.
The fact that every normal child
cries out for a bedtime story, shows
that it's mental nature needs it just as
it's physical nature Graves sweets. You
want to give your child pure candy, so
give him the unadulterated story.
Leave out the fearful personalities,
the grim and gigantic fgures-these,
even if they r properly vanished by
the gallant hero, are too distinct for
the crib-side tale.
Sit down by your little ones bed and
speak low and evenly. Weave a fanci-
full but quiet story that tells of pretty
stories and birds and flowers and
droning bees, and loving little boys and
girIs-those who sleep to the weary but
little active brain, not with the suffo-
eating pressure of the gathering storm
Lit with lurid flashes, but with the seft
clouds of the sunset horizon that change
from rosy pink to tender enveloping
gray, and gradually deepen into rest
full gloom.

ALLEGED FUN.
BILL NYE.

Mother-Oh, you naughty, bad,

you might like it for your hat instead
OF that old one J u are wearing.
Baroness-To kli the truth, Lieut..
Muller, you are tbs ftst officer 1 have

imagine why my brother officers who
belong to the nobility should shun you
that way and refuse to dance with you,
but perhaps they are too proud and
don't care to dance with everybody. It
does not make any difference to me
whom l dance with.

you've got to say so right out. You

wore for two seasons9 Miss Make

A Negro Boy Who Was the Butt of His
Companions.
Eight little colored boys got on a
Buffalo street car at the corner Of Yer
mont street one evening recently.
They had been out to st. Mary's to re-
hearse something or other (they were
choir boys) and they were then on their
way to st. Paul.. The w~men in the
car talked to them, aud asked them all
sorts of questions. They all talked
willingly except one little fellow, who
was black as coal, and who seemed to
be the butt of the other seven.

women.

at the same time.
''Then you are regular little black

"Oh, no, ms'am. Black birds do
nothing but chirp. I'm a canary"
"An' I'm a mockin' BIRD" said an,

ORIGIN OF LYNCH Law.
1t Began in Virginia and Was Neither
Violent Nor Moblike.


Lynch law had its origin in Virginia,
according to the conclusions of a gen
tleman who has been investigating the
early history of that State. 1t was not
mob law, as it is now understood. It
was orderly, methodical and fair in it's
processes and vas strongly opposed to
violence or mob rule. It's distinctive
feature was simply that it's DEGREES and
findings were executed sternly and
swiftly upon the spot Of their delivery.
Charles Lynch, whose name is asso-
ciated with the summary proceedings
now known as acts Of ''lynch law"
was a Revolutionary soldier and after
the wal ended took up his residence
P~ittsylvania county. The region in
which he lived became at one period of
the Revolution infested by bands of
Tories and outlaws, whose depredations
upon the defenseless people extended
from the lower parts of North Carolina
and Virginia to the passes of the Blue
Ridge and the headwaters of the James
and other mountain streams. Desert
ers from both armies added strength
and semblance of organization to their
operations. Wherever they appeared
the terror stricken inhabitants were
plundered, harassed and mercilessly
subjected to every variety of insult
and outrage. A remedy was needed
for this i~nsufferable state Of things, q
remedy that should at once strike such
terror 10 these miscreants as would re-
lieve a community already suffering
from the effects of hostile invasion.
Colonel Lynch was the man to take
the lead in such an emergency. he
succeeded in organizing a body of
patriotic citizens, men of known char
acter and standing.
Having laid his plans before them
and securing their approval, he at once
proceeded to put then into execution.
At the head of his followers he prompt
lv got upon the track of the unsuspect-
ing enemy, captured many and causel
the others to fee from the country.
When any of these outlaws fell into
his hands, they were not taken at once
to q tree and hanged or tied to a stake
and shot, as is done under the
perverted system of the present day.
This was not according to the code Of
Colonel Lynch and his followers.
So far from such a lawless procedure
= jury was selected from Lynch's men,
over which he presided as judge. The
captives were tried, the accused allowed
to make his own defense and 10 show
cause, if he could, why he should1not
be punished. If found gI1ityg the
punishment was inflicted on the spot.
The general impression has been that
in all cases of lynch law the penalty
wes death. This is a mistake. A
writer who knew Colonel Lynch well
was assured by him that he never will
ingly condemned q criminal to capital
punishment; that prisoners were fire.

TAKEN FOR sMALLs.
A Negro Afraid to Leave the City as

A Negro Afraid to Leave the City as
he is che Eurderer's Double.
There in a negro in Savannah, who,
from the descriptions of Abe Smalls,
which have been sentiOnt over the coun-
try, would easily be taken for Policeman
Neve's murderer.
The Negroes name is William Crutcher.
and the only differences between him and
Smalls are that he is about an inch
shorter, and has few peck marks on
his face which Smalls lacks. Crutcher
says he has had an opportunity to get
work away from Savannah within the
last two weeks, but has been afraid to 20
for fear that he would be taken for
the murderer by some authorities and put
under arrest
Chief Green has not investigated the
report that Smalls is in Pensacola, Fla.
Both Chief Green and Detective Hanley
are positive that Smalls is still in Chat
ham county, and equally positive
that he is not in Pensa cola The informa-
tion that Smalls was there came in a
very roundabout way, Chief of Police
Tyler, Of Pensacola, wrote Chief Con-
molly, of Atlanta, that Abe SmalIs. the
negro who killed an Atlanta officer. was
in Pensacola, and could he caught with
ease.
There has been no Atlanta alcer killed
recently, but Chief Connolly found that
the description OF the negro given by
Chief Tyler tailed with the description of
Smalls. furnished from Savannah He ac-
cordinRly telegraphed Chief Green the in
formation he had received from Chief
Tyler. Chief Green, however, had what
he considered positive information of
Smalls having been in this neighborhood
within the time that he was said to have
been seen at Pensacola. This was why
he did not consider it worth while to in
vestigate the Pensacola report.
description of Smalls was sent TO the
chief of police of Pensacola, with infor-
nation as to why he was wanted here,
and the amount of the reward offered,
several days ago, and Chief Green does
not understand how Chief Tyler came to
telegraph Chief Connolly, Of Atlanta.

TO BUILD A MUSIC HALL.
The Savannah Music Festival ASSO-
citation Organized.

An Option on a Site Secured and a
Charter to Be Applied for at once-A
Building With Seating Capacity of
1900 to 1000 People and a Stage
Seating 500 People, to Be Erected.
The Estimated Cost, $40, 900, to He
Raised by Popular Subscription.
The Proposed Site on Gwinnett
Street, Between Habersham and
Price.
The Savannah Music Festival Associa-
ton was organized yesterday afternoon.
A charter will be applied for at once and
stock subscriptions will be opened The
purpose of the association is the erection
of music hall in which to hold the an
ual music festivals
The meeting to organize the associa-
tion was held at the Lud-
den s. Bates music house at
o'clock yesterday afternoon. 1t was
largely attended by those who have taken
an interest in the success of the festivals
Col. Charles H. Olmsted, chairman of
the festival committee, presided, and DR.
Jasperson Smith acted as secretary.
Col. Olmsted stated the purpose for
which the meeting had been called, refer
ring TO the fact that the organization
had been undertaken year ago but was
deferred on account of the hard times.
THE AssooIATIoN's PLAN
The general plan then considered was
gone over and after some discussion, was
adopted as the basis of the present plan
of organization.
A name was first decided upon and
the question then arose whether the
association was to be a hall association
or whether it should also have the con-
duct of the festivals. 1t was finally de-
cided that its purpose should be the cree
tion of hail. A temporary organiza-
ton was formed by the election
of Col Olmstead, chairman and
Mr. Jasperson Smith secretary. Com
mittees on charter, site and plans were
appointed, and steps will be taken to per
feet the organization as soon as a charter
has been secured.
THE PROPOSED BUILDING.
The idea is to erect building with a
seating capacity for 1900 to Z, 900 people,
and with stage seating 500. the build
ing to be constructed with special
view to festival purposes The site pro
posed is on the south side of
Gwinnett street, between Habersham and
Price. Mr.. H. p. Stuart, owner of this
property, has given the committee an OPP
ton on very favorable terms. The loca-
tions is probably the most eligible to the
city on account of its nearness to the
street car line. All OF the car lines in the
city pass within block of the site 1t is
proposed to capitalize this association
at $40, 900, which the committee believes
sufficient to build and furnish the hall.
The shares will, probably, be placed at
$40, in order to make the subscription a
popular one, though this has not been
fully decided Mr.. John Nicoson, Jr,
will draw the charter, which will be Sc
cured at as early date as possible. AS
soon as this has been done, and a perma-
nent organization has been effected, sub
criptions to stock will be opened.

Perhaps You're "Dotty'' and Don't
Know 1t.
From the New York Press.

Slang, like love, is a curious thing 10
comes, and then il goes But why it
comes and why 1t goes no human creature
knows. There is the word "Dotty."
-Four years ago, in the Eva Hamilton trial,
transpired that that unspeakable woman
had a half-witted lover who called him
self "Dottyn Charles Coote was then
playing in the Biiou theater IN "Niobe"
and said of man an the stage who did
particularly foolish thing that he was
getting Dotty The word caught the
fancy Of a small circle and took place in
the directory OF current Tenderloin slang.
1t travelled across the ocean and was used
in the London music halls as a character
istic American expression. Then no more
was heard of IL until within a week or
two Now IL drops from the lips Of thou
sands Of New Workers. II in the even
ing you indulge too freely in the cup that
cheers you're "Dotty." If in the morning
you wonder where you are at, you're
"Dotty." II you are in love and knowjt
and the girl doesn't, you're "Dotty." In
short if you do anything showing tenn
porary alteration Of intellect, you are
''Dotty." ! may add that II you use this
word in casual conversation, you're
"Dotty," and none more 80.
