Minis, sister Of Hon. Holmes Cummins,
OF Memphis, and DR. d. p. Cummins, of
this place, left this evening for Malta
moFas, Mexico, where Miss Cummins
goes to engage in missionary work under
the auspices Of tho Presby terrain Church.
Miss Cummins is devout Christian and
lady of rare educational attachments,
and will doubtless succeed in her new
work. She was accompanied to the train
by many Of her relatives and friends,
many of whom were her former pupils
in the Clifton Female Seminary, where
for number of years she was one Of
the principal teachers. The sad faces
and tears that flowed from every eye
this evening, showed how we'll she was
loved and the sincere regrets that were
felt at her departure. Among those
present to bid her Godspeed were Evan
gelists Fife and Tillman, who are con-
Quoting series of revival meetings at
Paine's Opera House. Mr.. Tillman led
tho assem- blage in singing God Bo
With You Till We Meet Again." after
which Mr.. Fife pronounced solemn
benediction. The whole was a touching
scene, long to be remembered.

The Convicted Labor Leaders Hold a Con.
ference.

CHICAGO, Dec. 15.-The convicted of.
ficers and directors of the American
Railway union had a conference with
their attorney, Clarence S. barrow.
Attorney barrow said he did not think
there was any doubt that they had the
right OF appeal, although an APP
peal is not usual in such cases. The
matter is one for argument, and as the
question would have to be argued be-
fore Judge Woods, the defendants
smile grimly when this method of OBJ.
tanning their release is mentioned.
Another plan and the one that will
probably be adopted is to ask the SUI
preme court for a habcas corpus. So,
it is by no means certain that the men
will have to go to jail. 1t is assured
that they will not have to 60 by De.
cember a, which is the expiration Of
the ten days time given them by
Judge Woods in which to map out a
plan of action. Before ten days have
expired Attorney barrow viii have
mapped out some line of procedure.
All hesentenced directors were pres
ent with the exception of Vice Presi.
dent Howard They were inclined tc
look at the matter jocularly from a
purely personal standpoint, but they
all deplore the blow which they claim
has been dealt organized labor by the
decision.
President Debs said: "Unless this
decision is reversed there is no use at.
tempting to have another strike. The
decision is a fine invitation to the rail-
roads to reduce wages, and / don't be-
lieve they will neglect to take advan.
tage of it. If they should do so God
help the poor employees. He will have
no recourse but to 'peaceably quit
work and peaceably starve. If he
asks anybody else to join him he VIII
probably be confronted by an injunc,
tion and put into jail for year or So
This will stod every sort of strike.
The power of these United Statel
judges is of the most autocratic char
ucter. This whole country is ruled by
the railroads, and the United States
judges but do the will of the corpora
tons"
President Debs will go to jail at
Terre Haute, his home, if he goes at
all, and the others Will be pretty well
scattered over the country, a majority
of them preferring Chicago as place
of confinement. James Hogan will Sc
lect Ogden, Utah, as a spot to spend his
captivity.
Vice-President Howard took the sen,
tence as a matter of course: 1t was
the principle the judge wished to
crush-not the men, and he has sue
ceeded admirably. There Will be no
more strikes unless it is reversed, and

BUTTER AND CHEESE MAKING.
Biggest Dairy and Creamery Supply House
in the World.

Biggest Dairy and Creamery Supply house
in the World.
Farmers throughout the country are con-
stantlY making inquiries as TO machinery
and appliances for the making butter and
cheese.
Areporter for Chicago paper was recently
detailed toinvestigate the subject. The result
of the reporters tour was the discovery
that Chicago, which leads In so many things,
contains the largest and most complete man
ufactory Ia the world for the production of
butter and cheese making machinery and
utensils. The concern is the Davis & RAN
kin Buildingand Manufacturing Company,
one of the well-known and reliable business
institutions of Chicago, and occupies splen-
did building at 240 to 254 Lake street. In the
several departments of its factory, which
occupy in the aggregate some three acres
of floor space, there is not an implement
or a piece of mechanis IN, no matter how
simple or how intricate, that is not made in
this wonderful establishment. Six hundred
persons, all of them, with the exception of
about dozen, skilled Workmen and trained
experts, are employed. The farmer who
owns two or three cows can find here, at in
significant cost, useful devices for convert
ing his milk into marketable form, and the
community that wishes to establish acream-
cry large enough to take care of its entire
product is accommodated with equal fRcl-
ity.
The centrifugal cream separator, for sep
arating cream from milk, Is as great an in
vention in its way as the sewing machine,
the reaper or the cotton gin. The Davis &
Rankin Company manufactures these de-
vices in great variety, from q low-priced,
but finely finished hand separator, worked
by means of a crank, to the superb con-
trivance known as the Davis separator,
with capacities of from / 200 TO 1900 pounds
per hour.
For furnishing motive power this COM
pany makes an admirable engine, either hor-
izontal or upright in style, in which sim
plieity, cOmpactuess, strength, economy,
and durability are conspicuous points. This
is the only farm and dairy motor that was
awarded a medal at the Worlds Columbian
exposition,
All persons interested can do no better
than to write to the Davis q Rankin Com
pany, and obtain catalogue Of their cream
cry and dairy machinery supplies. When
you como to Chicago pay them visit and
see one of the wonderful sights of this Won
derful city.

oEss SENT TO PRISON.

Judge Woods Declares Eugene Debs ana
Other Directors Of the American Railway
Union Guilty of Contempt of Court In
Lengthy DecislOn-Debs Sentenced to Six
Months Imprisonment and the Others
Three Months Each.
CHICAGO, Dec. 15.-Judge Woods SEN
fenced Eugene V.-Debs, the leader OF
the American Railway union strike, to
six months in the county jail, rs a
punishment for violating the injunc-
ton issued by himself and Judge
Grosscup July 2 last. The rest of the
men, with the exception of McVean. he
gave three months. In the case of Nc
Vean sentence is suspended. Sentence
is not cumulative, covering the cases
of the government and the Santa Fe
road against the men. The same sem
tence is imposed in each case, but
both sentences begin and end at the
same time, December 2f. The de-
PENDANTS are: Z. v. Debs, president;
6. w. Howard, vice-president; Sylves-
ter Kelliher, secretary; L. W. Rogers,
NJ. J. Elliot, James Hogan, VIM. Burns,
J. NJ. McVean, Leroy NJ. Goodwin.
The sentence is generally considered
a light one. The case will be APP
pealed.
In speaking of the decision Attorney
barrow, who represented the defend
ants, said:
The decision is bad law, but the
sentence is remarkably lenient."
Vice-President Howard said he was
prepared to expect anything. Presi-
dent Dcbs was more cast down than
any of the others.
1t was in the discretion of the court
to sentence the man to any term Of
years he chose within constitutional
limits and to impose any fine he thought
fit.
Judge Woods wound up a long
opinion by saying: THE object of pun
ishment for contempt of court is TO
prevent further contempt. My conclu-
sion is that the injunction was right.
Mr. Debs is more responsible than any
one else He is man of marked abil-
ity and of strong character, and a
leader of these men. 1t was in his
power by merely lifting his voice to
stop all this disturbance. 1 shall,
therefore, discriminate between him
and the rest of the defendants. l viii
give Mr.. Debs six months in the county
Jail and the rest three months. This
sentence to take effect ten days from
now"

Pine boughs for their perfume and
beauty, knot TO burn for its accumu-

BILE luxury of the season in New York
CITY houses. Bundles of pine bOughs
and barrels Of pine knots are shipped
TO wholesale florist dealers, who i'm
mediately dispose of them in their we'll

The boughs are a branch of three or
more pine tassels, bristling with long
brittle green needles, or there may be
but a single staff needle-decked, a
young pine growth, the beginning Of
what might have been a giant pine tree
as tall and straight as the mast of a
ship.

pine straw, which may be broken into
tiny bits to fill a pine pillow.
The pine knots are pieces Of wood
split from about gnarled places, and
knots that grow at irregular intervals
in the massive column of the pine
trunk. These, when stripped of the
rough brown bark of the tree, are
found TO contain deal of accumulated
rosiD, which oozes out and bubbles and
sizes when the wood is ablaze.
An open fire of pine knots, because
OF the chopping Of the wood and ship
ping, costs as much as a fire of soft
coal, or of perfumed wood. but the dry,
wholesome, turpentine odor from the
rosin and the CHEEKY flame, white, pink
and blue, burning so brilliantly, holds
much more benefit for worn nerves and
sick people.-Detroit Free Press.

A bill is now pending before the Leg;sla-
ture of Alabama which seeks to prohibit
the sale of proprietary medicines, unless
the formula of the same shall be placed on
the bottle or package containing the medi-
cine.
An attempt to pass a similar law has been
made in almost every State in the Union,
but has always failed because the measure
is not in the interest Of the people, but on
the contrary is introduced to serve some
selfish end.
If proprietors could comply with the pro-
visions OF such law, every tinker in medi-
cine I'm the country would infiict on the
public an imitation of remedies that re-
quire skill and experience In their prepare
ton.
If this law is passed it viii practically

recognized as household remedies by thou
sands of people who would consider it a
hardship to be compelled to do without
them.
