other morning. About 0 o'clock
dense swarm OF bees silently and sud
denly swept down on that region. and
for nearly three hours made the cross
walks impossible. Throngs OF pco.
pie gathered in groups In the i'd
joining corners, and drivers OF We
hicles OF every description from time
to time made traffic impossible. A
humorous side OF the occur 'encc was
when an open car passed. IL was
compelled TO drive through the thick
est portion OF the swarm. The sud
den head-duckiny, the speedy cover
ing OF faces, accompanied by the
smothered CALCULATIONS OF the
women and the less elegant explosives
of the men, added to the frac'
tious antics OF the car horses
and the frantic efforts OF the driver
to beat off the bees convulsed the
people on the side walk. At | o'clock
three elevated road employees swoop'
ed down on the bees. After half an
hour of fruitless efforts To disl0dge
them they gave up the fight in dis
gust. Scores OF suggestions. witty,

sides. Finally Frank Eddy, who was
ore Of the pas ,engers on the elevated
road, who had bcen stuny. hit upon n
plan which, after patient effort re-
suited in the capture Of several thous'

smearcd with molasses and suspended
from guard rail Of the elevated
road. nni dropped directly in the

scheme was successful. Mr.. Eddy is
proud OF his hunt. He estimates the
bees numerically ut 5.0Do, and the
value Of the captivcs ut close to $50.

How Senator Harris broke Himself OF

How Senator Harris BrOko htnseH VI
Swearing.
There Is a curious connection be-
tween the lives of lsham Harris and
bishop Quintard of Memphis, whose
performance at Kitty Chcathim's
wedding brought him into promi-
nence.
The bishop and Harris are about OF
an age, and although Of different
temperaments and Of different pro-
fessions their careers have inter
twined more than once.
Quintard was a chaplain In the con.
federate army, having secured the
pl &C through Harris appointment,
and Harris TO this day always refers
to Quintard as the man who broke
him of the habit of profanity.
1t was during the review Of the
troops when Harris was governor. and
with his usual Feasibility he gave
some OF the delinquents n terrible
dressing down us they went by int r.
lar ling his comments with character
istic oath;.
just then Gu ntard sprang forward
"How can you expect to control these
men. governor" he exclaimed. when
you cannot control your own temper?'
Harris stopped in establishment and
gazed at the bold chaplain. Then he
recognized the force OF the mans
words and stopped swearing.
He says he hasn't sworn from that
time to this, and he really thinks he
hasn't, but some people who are wont
TO listen to the peppery Tennesseean
somehow or other gain different i'm

Represented in the advertising col

i'm the year and the history OF sue
cessful business men shows that
the basis of their success is having
something to sell and using print

what has n lot of odds and ends II
could profitably dispose of at re-

method of getting business at the
very time they need il most, by cut
ting off their advertising. Adver
Using that says something and
means something is one of thu
mainstays of a successful business
and the merchants who advertise

amendment Tecommen ted by Rep.
Robertson. The privilege OF putting
IN electricity was given the company
in 1890. They had done nothing to-
wards that end since that time. Now
that some other company was seeking
the right to build an electric street
railway, they were trying their best
TO Illustrate such action. The time
should be shortened instead Of length =
ened.
Rep. Rycroft thought that ample
time should be given them. II at the
expiration OF the limit the company
was still dormant, then their privi-
lege should be taken from them. An
other company could come In then
and take advantage of putting In an
electric road with no hindrances to
their work.
Rep. Robertson said it was true
there were only four months differ
ence in time as recommended in the
minority report, but those four months
would really make two years differ
ence in time, since the Legislature
met but once in two years. The
member from Puma admitted that he
did not think the Tramways Com
pany meant business; then why
should they be given four months
longer in which to inflict their mules
upon the public.
Rep. Winston thought a proviso
making it compulsory upon the COM
pany to make certain progress before
March, 1896, or forfeit their right,
should be introduced.

questions were as follows:
al. Whether the Superintendent of
Public Works has approved plans for
a building at Leleo, proposed to be
used as a Chinese theater.
"2. Whether you have received a
petition from the residents of Leleo
and the surrounding neighborhood
against the erection and maintenance
Of another theater at that place
"3. Whether, il such building is

as a Chinese theater-"
