Edgar Allan Poe's Watch.

A special from Port Madison, Iowa, to
the St. Louis Globe Democrat says: DR..
j. G. Staubus of this city has In his pos
session a watch once the property of the
famous poet, Edgar Allan Poe. In the
years 1910. 1S41 and 1912 Edgar A. Poe be-
came indebted TO John w. Albright, tn en-
a merchant tailor doing business in Phila-
delphia. He had given several notes, to-
gether with the watch in trust, which re-
NAMED in the hands Of Mr.. Albright until
1916, when it passed into the hands of a
brother, II. A. Albright of ST. Louis, and
at his death was given to his mother, Mrs.
Sarah Albright. and at her death, in 1866.
passed into the hands of another son, r.
W. Albright. then resident of this city,
but now deceased. At his death. in 1887,
it became the property of his daughter.

IN A DREAM.
Lightning-Like Play of the Imagina-

curious example of the dramatic and
mythopOec quality of dreams, and of the
power OF COMPRISING time, was once re-
lated to me by lady, writes Andrew Lang.
She, IN her dream, was sitting in her room
looking out on a beautiful clear autumn
twilight. She heard a knock, heralding
visitors. and, going downstairs. found two
strangers in her parlor. One she recCg-
nized-a relative who had died in her
childhood. He was a little old gentleman,
in brown dress of the early part of the
century. With him was a handsome lady
IN Spanish maniilla. They had on the

bound chest. AT this moment Still in the

refreshment, and, 10 the visitors vanished.
The servant went out and there were the
visitors again. They had opened the cof-
fer and displayed two sets of yellow docu-
ments.
One was a list of securities; one list
OF names. The lady in the mantiiIa ex-
planned, while the old gentleman nodded
assent, that he and she had been betrothed
and that she had died before their mar
riage. The old gentleman bad gone
abroad at the Peace of Amiens, had been
caught and detained on the outbreak of
war, and this had led to some accident in
his affairs by which the Golfer and its con-
tents had been neglected. and the securi-
ties were still lying unclaimed.

was the knock announcing the arrival of
the visitors in the dream. All the rest or
the scenes were myth. invented by the
dream-mind to account for the first half

person of the old-forgotten relative, and
invented, without any assistance from con-
scious memory, the lady of the mantilla,
and her love story and her death. The

properties, were improvised by the dream

Recent Changes in State Election Laws.

Recent Changes In State Election Laws.
In that kind of legislation which af-
fects most directly the fundamentals
of American citizenship-the depart
ment of election reform-the present
year has few notable changes to report.
The fact that most of the States are
now conducting elections under a Sc
crct ballot system-those which have
not secured such a system during the
past five years a be conducted on the
fingers of one hand-suficiently &C.
commits for the general indisposition to
tamper further with the electoral ma
chinery. Virginia is the last State to
adopt the Australian method of nomi-
mating and voting. In Kentucky and
Colorado there have been visions of
existing election laws; reapportion-
ments have been made in New Jersey
to elect representatives in Congress by
plurality rather than majority vote.
Massachusetts, makes more effective
her educational qualifications of the
suffrage by providing that each voter
shall be required to read from a slip
containing a portion of the State con
stitution, each of these slips to be drawn
from a box. 1t is believed that this
method of applying the constitutional
test will do away with the old form of
fraud which consisted in using set pas
sages of the document, carefully com
mitted to memory by the illiterate vo-
ter. Massachusetts, has also adopted a
thorough going primary elections law,
which embodies practically all the
regulating machinery already adopted
very generally in the State and especi-
ally Endorsed by the Republicans for
use in their party caucuses. In New
York, permission has been granted to
extend the use of Myers voting ma
chine from town to city elections, al
though some doubt remains as to
whether the use of such q device con-
forms fully to the present constitu-
tional requirement of voting by bal
lot" The convention now in session
at Albany is apparently disposed to
recommend a clause in the new con.
stitutiou which will permit the use of
such machines in all State and local
elections. In Ohio women are granted
the right to vote for school directors,

taxes for school and municipal pur-

The Democratic threat of continued
tariff agitation is calculated to make
the business interest Of the country
solid for Republican candidates for
Congress.
1t will require the whole of the next
regular session Of the Senate to reha-
bilitate itself and persuade the people
to look upon it without a rush of pro.
family to the lips.
Republican prospects r good for
picking up several Congressman in
Maryland, Delaware, West Virginia,
Missouri and Louisiana, and there are
fighting chances.
The more the new tariff is examined
the palmer the fact becomes that there
is nothing definite about any of its pro-
visions except those which are favor.
able to the trusts.
Cleveland's only source of comfort
and qualification in his present un-
happy %predicament is that the Mug
wumps are doing him the kindness OF
turn their backs upon him.
The Agricultural Department is look
ing for two experts on soils to work for
$1,000 a year. Some of Coxey's men
will take the Job for half the money,
and always keep the soil handy.
If Hill keeps on for two or three
years longer making himself solid"
with the country he will be first in the
vote in the National Convention of
1895 and there will be no second.
The Ohio campaign would be more
interesting for the country at large if
there were any chance for the Demo
Gratis to win, but apparently their
efforts are merely to keep the Republi-
can majority below 81 1000.
The Whisky Trust did not get all of
its whisky out of bond while Cleveland
was delaying the tariff bill, and will
now try to avoid the increased tax on
the remainder. A trust never gets all
it wants, even under Democratic rule.
The drift of Republican preference in
New York appears to be in favor of Mr.
Morton as a candidate for Governor,
and in the event of his nomination, he
will certainly carry the State by the
sort of a majority that will recall the
best days of his party's supremancy.

MEMPHIS, Sept. 9.-The whole plot
of the lynching of six alleged negro
incediaries near Millington, Tenn, on
the night of August 81, has been laid
bare, and before many hours elapse
every man implicated in the conspiracy
will be in Jail.
Robert McCarver, son of j. A. Nc
Carver, Sheriff of Shelby County, is
the man who exposed the conspirators
He was called before the grand jury
last night and told the whole story.
Young McCarver at first refused to
testify, but when given the alternative
of going to Jail for contempt of court
or revealing the plot, he chose the lat
ter. In his testimony before the grand
jury, McCarver said that he was in
vited to participate in the massacre of
the negroes by H. N. Smith, one of the
men now in the county Jail, under in
dictment for murder in the first degree,
for completely in the lynching.
Smith gave McCarver the names of
the men who would compose the mob,
and told how the negroes would be ar
rested by Detective w. s. Richardson,
placed in a wagon and driven to Big
Creek Swamp, where the murderers
would be in waiting. When the invi-
tation to assist in the assassin alton was
rendered to young McCarver it was
represented that his father knew all
about it, and Judge Cooper, Of the
Criminal Court, a not in the dark.
These representations were untrue
and were made by Smith with the in
tention, if possible, of mixing Sheriff
McCarver up in the affair through bis
son, that his hands would be tied il
an investigation should be instituted
by the authorities.
Young McCarver declined to join the
mob, but the lynching came on on
schedule time. McCarver, on the day
after the lynching, disclosed the de-
tails of the plot to Jos. Theirs, Chris
Hoffman and William Cox, and it was
from Theirs and Hoffman hat the
grand jury obtained its first informa-
ton about the conspiracy and the i'm
portance of McCarver's testimony.
Cox denied all knowledge of the af.
fair in his testimony before the grand
jury and was induced last night for
perjury.
Criminal Court Judge Cooper today,
after hearing McCarver's confession,
ordered him placed under $1,000 bond
to insure his presence at the trial Of
the lyneheis, but he being unable to
furnish bail, was sent to Jail.

because they fear the election of Evans.
This ought to be sufficient to make

every vote that is possible to get to the

Evans will be elected.
