HAS PRODUCED MANY ORATORS
Tennessee's Takers From the Time OF
Luke Lee to the Present.


Luke Lee to the Present.
"No State in the Union has produced
so many great orators as Tennessee" said
Thomas Alexander, of that State, to a
writer for the Washington Post.
1.-The stump orators of the volunteer
State constitute her brightest galaxy,
There was Duke Lee, who was in Con-
gress from East Tennessee, away back
about 1880. He was an inimitable stump
speaker. The famous Senator Barton of
Missouri, cOntempOraneous with Tom
Benton, was native of Tennessee.
Spencer Jarnargin, who was in the
United States Senate in the Hos, was an
orator of the profound type. Webster
said of him: He is one of the most pro-
found lawyers | have ever known John
Bell was, without exception, the most
logical debater ever produced by the
State. He ranked next to Clay, Webster
and Calhoun in Oratorlcal power and as
United States Senator was man OF great
strength. At the age OF 30 years he was
offered by President Jackson and de-
Ephraim H. Foster, who was United
States Senator in the '40's, was Irresistible
on the stump. Aaron V. Brown, who
was Buchanan's Postmaster General, was
one of the great orators who com biued
logical with rhetorical ability.
james X. Polk was an orator who
combined numerous elements of strength
He possessed untiring energy. Few men
surpassed him in spinning yarns on the
stump. He was also good reasoner.
The prince Of story tellers was Lean
Jimmy Jones, contempOraneOus with
Clay. His name was we'll suited to his
frame. Six feet four, and thin as string,
his presence was well suited to his wag-
gish turn of mind. Clay, whose friend
he was, estimated him one of the most
Irresistible men of the time. Gustavus
A. Henry, lineai descendant of Patrick
Henry. has always borne the distin-
guished title of eagle orator. He served
in the Confederate Senate from Tennes-
see throughout the war. Meredith Z.
Jentry was superior to Henry in logical
ability. He was estimated TO possess
even finer voice than Henry Clay,
William +. Haskell was one of the States g
great orators.
Few men have ever lived who were
more powerful on the stump than Andy
Johnson. BrOwnlow was not an orator.
but no man ever lived in the State who
welded a greater influence Langdon {.
Haynes, an uncle Of Bob and Alf Tay-
lor, is reputed to be the finest word
painter ever produced by the State. One
of his gems, a tribute to East Tennessee,
will live i'll literature. AS pleasing
and captivating orator few men ranked
higher than Horace Maynard. In dra-
matte ability, uncouth though it was, l..
c. Houk was without superior. The
most effective stump orator of the present
time is the unrivaled comedian, Bob
Taylor. He inherets oratory from both
parents, his mother coming from tie
Haynes family, sister OF Langdon c.
Haynes, while his father, Rev. n. O..
Taylor, was The most eloquent divine
ever known in the State"

Slaughtered for Their Furs.

An idea of the enormous number of fur
bearing animals annually slaughtered for
their pelts may be gained from the fol-
lowing figures of skins to be offered for
the January sales at London: One mill

550, 900 Australian opossum, 100000 rae
coon, 100000 skunk, 10000 mink, 105, 600

600 beaver, $500 cat, 6,000 bear, 5000 kan
garoo, 5000 lynx, $500 Thibet lamb, 400
wolf, $500 dryhair seal. 100 badger and
900 Russian sable, total Of nearly
100000 skins. This is exclusive OF the
regular offerings of sealskins on January
18th. which will comprise 2S, 800 skins, all
except 3, 100 of which are from northwest
coast seals.-New York Tribune.
The latest society fad is to serve ice
cream in statuary moids, fashioned after
noted men and women. Hence every
chef must have an artist on his staff.

STILL IN THE BALANCE.

No Decision Yet Reached in the Sem
ate on Peckham's Nomination.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 15.-There was
some surprise when the Senate, after be-
ing in executive session three hours, ad
journed at $50 o'clock without taking
action upon the Peckham nomination.
1t had been supposed that one sitting
would suffice for consideration of the
subject, and it was not considered prob
able that either side would ask for an ad
lournment The adjournment, it ap-
pears, had been the result of general
agreement, and so little importance was
attached to it that not one of the half
dozen questioned upon the subject could
remember who moved an adjournment.
Representatives of both sides assert
that the adjournment was without any
significance whatever. 1t became appar-
ent that it would be impossible to con-
clude consideration OF the question be-
fore late in the night, as there were sew
eral speeches still to be made.
The anti-Peck men are somewhat
more confident at the result tonight
than his friends. They display estimates
of vote giving 43 votes against contirma-
ton, sufficient to insure rejection, and IL
doubtful, of which they claim they will
secure five or six. The friends of Peck
ham, while not displaying estimates and
making such explicit claims, are still
hopeful and say they were making gains.

The Realth-GiviDs Onion.

Mr.. Walter Besant, during his
stay in America, learned a fact or
two concerning the odoriferous
onion, which he recently made
public for the benefit of English
girls in general and ugly girls in
particular. eff ugly girls" he re-
marks, will eat onions, they won't
be ugly any longer. Ugliness is
often the result of bad health alone.
Health is beautiful and onions are
health giving. They brighten the
complexion, and consequently
Tighten the feminine heart. In
America" says the famous author,
"some of the best people, particu-
larly in literary and academic cir
cles, are mot at home to their most
intimate friends on Sunday. They
devote that day to the consumption
of the leek." Here is a grand new
feminine excuse. The everlasting
but convenient headache may now
yield to the health-giving onion.

LONDON WATER SUPPLY.
Economy in its Use as Compared
With American Experience.

La London, the largest city in
the world, the water is furnished
by companies and is charged for
by the quantity. No one has a
free faucet or can afford to waste
his water. Every family bargains
for as many gallons per diem as it
needs, and this amount is placed
in tanks. Then the water is shut
off. If the family uses it up by
noon it gets no more until the next
day, unless it can borrow of its
neighbor. There is no waste. The
water is all measured and paid for.
With three times our population,
London does not use one-third as
much water as Chicago does, sim
ply because the water is not
wasted.
In Chicago the city furnishes the
water, and everyone is free to do
with it what he pleases, and the
result is anarchy in water. The
man on the third story has no
rights the man on the second is
bound to respect, and the man on
the first floor cheats both of them
by running water via the sewers
into the river and lake. So long
as there is disregard Of human
rights by human hogs this waste
will continue, and those on the
upper stories will suffer because
those on lower stories are running
water all day to cool their rooms
or to food their lawns-in other
words, are letting millions of gal
Ions run into the sewers without
being used at all.-Chicago Tri-
bune.
