THE LATE JUDGE GRESHAM.
A story That Illustrates That Good Mans
Character.

A story That Illustrates That Good Mans
Character.
"a story" observed an old-time friend
of Secretary Gresham, to the Washing
ton Posi-, "will better illustrate char
acter or point some attributes than COLI
umns of direct assertion. Gresham
friendly, commonplace bent and prompt
ness to remember, recognize and serve
old friends was shown in an incident
which occurred at indianapolis while
Gresham was on the bench. 1t was
Judge Gresham then, and at the time
have in mind he was hearing a big rail-
road case in chambers. There was no
jury; the affair pivoted on points of law
and the relief sought was some order of
the court. So, as l say, there was no
jury involved. There was, however, an
over-plus of big-gun lawyers which in
cluded in it's mighty roll such as EXPIRES
ident Harrison's law partner, Mr.. Miller,
afterwards attorney-general; Turpie, la
ter a senator, and Joe Mcdonald, then
Voorhees, colleague in the senate. 1t
occurred, too, that while Gresham was
still holding down the woolsack he had
only few days bsfore been named in
Arthur's cabinet, so one can see the lit
tie room wherein these grave railroad
interests were being pulled and hauled
also fairly overlooked with our Ameri-
can nobility of politics.
ut CHANGED thatin the midst of the
proceedings the court reporter of an In
dianapolis paper stepped in. He was a
difident young man, and instant to blush
a bit and become abaShed at an environ
ment when everybody else was seated,
and he was rendered prominent by hav-
ing no chair. AS he came in the lawyers
turned to look coldly and inquiringly at
him for thus disturbing the lofty prog
ress of their case. The reporter had
only one friend in the room; that was
Gresham himself. He noticed his en-
barrassment and his kindly heart and
simple generosity came to the young
man'sr escue. G resham knew him. He
held up his hand and stopped Attorney
Miller, who twas on his feet, talking in
mid-fight.
" Let US suspend a moment, gentle
men, remarked Gresham.
"Then reckoning the reporter up to
the bench, he chatted with him mo-
ment, and on discovering the purpose
of his coming directed the clerk to fur
nish him such facts touching the hear
ing going on as he needed for his story.
LAS the reporter turned to go Gresh-
am reached for bottom drawer in his
desk with the remark, Got knife?'
The newspaper man had knife. Ores
am sorted box of cigars-the powerful
sort he always smoked-out of his desk,
pried open the box with the borrowed
knife, gave a cigar to his visitor and all
the lawyers present, and after every
body, save Miller, who was just then
talking, was smoking very successfully,
the hearing was resumed. And that
story illustrates Gresham's manner and
method on every occasion"

PLEASING PROSPECTS.
Georgia Crops Now in Flourishine Con-
ditioD in All Sections.

dition in All Sections.
Georgia crops are aourishing. Every
section OF the state is blooming under
the touch of nourishing showers and
summer sunshine.
The report of Forecast Officer George
Hunt for the past week gives good pros
poets. It's the best, in fact, that has
gone out from the Office of the weather
bureau during this season, and from
present conditions there is every reason
to believe that huge harvests will follow
The report of Mr.. Hunt says:
"The rainfall of the week has been
light and unevenly distributed, and while
the crops are not suffering for moisture
in any portion of the state, rains would
be beneficial in the eastern, central, and
southern counties. Temperature has
been all that could have been desired
neither low nor excessive, 1T allowed
constant field work and was still suffi-
GENTLY warm to give great impetus to
all field growth. Some farmers
have not yet succeeded in Kidding their
crops of grass and weeds, but the
great majority of their fields are
in clean, healthy condition, with all
staple crops growing rapidly. Corn is in
fine shape; cotton late, but showing
great improvement; oats perfect crop
and ready for harvest; wheat poor; gar
dens and fruit never BETTER

Danger From Catarrh.

The most important feature about that
very common complaint, catarrh IN the
head, is its tendency to develop into
some other more serious and dangerou
disease. The foul matter dropping from
the head into the bronchial tubes or
lungs is very liable to lead to bronchitis
or consumption, that destroyer which
causes more deaths in this country than
any other disease. AS catarrh originates
in impurities in the blood, local applica-
tions can do but little good. The COM
mon sense method of treatment is to
purify the blood, and for this purpose
there is no preparation superior to
Hoods Sarsaparilla. The powerful
action of this medicine upon the blood
expels every impurity, and by so doing
cures catarrh and gives health to the
entire organism.

TERRIFIC STORM IN WORTH.
Hail Ruins the Fruit. Vegetables and
Growing Crops.

ISABELLA, GA, JUNE IA cloud
burst and the most destructive hail
storm ever known here occurred at 6
o'clock this afternoon. Crops of all
kinds are totally ruined. Corn was
beat into the ground; watermelons and
fruit are totally ruined. No peaches are
left on the trees. Houses were unroofed
and blown down. The large brick store
of J. S. Westberry & Bro was unroofed
and flooded. The store of Ford & Hola-
mon suffered in the same manner.
1t is impossible to give tonight any
thing like an estimate of the damage. So
far as learned no lives were lost. The
hail was from two to twelve inches deep
and the heaviest ever known to fall here.
Some of the stones were as large as eggs.
The rain came in torrents and fell for
hours.

What He Understood 1t to Mean i.

A certain superintendent of schools
had way of laundering questions at the
children that completely deprived them
of their wits. One day he called the
third reader class to stand upon the
floor, and began promlscuous cate
chism. At last, pointing his finger at
small, shrinking figure at the end of the
class. he shouted: ''You there! What
do YOU understand by climate?" The
answer came in a weak voice: "Get up
it, sir.'

STARVING In OKLAHOMA.
orRRIBLE TALES OF SUFFERING
FROM THE BOOMERS.
., xeither Money Nor Food. An Urgent
Appeal to the Outside Public for
Assistance.

Kansas City, Mo-, special says: Rev.
. shane and Judge L. P. Nash of Grant
oountv. Oklahoma, are in the city, ask
;nc aid for the people of Prairie town
.bin. and, in fact, for the entire popula-
+ion Of Grant county, who are actually
starving.
Reports of this state Of want and
Hesitation have reached the public
from time to time, but very little Gre
dence was given them. The two gentle.
men who arrived here yesterday to ask
for bread to fill hungry mouths and
clothes to cover suffering bodies were
amounted at a meeting held few weeks
ago in Grant county for that purpose.
At that meeting the sufferers told of the
condition of affairs there.
The portion of the territory that is the
scene Of such deprivation and want was
opened in September, 1898. The settlers
came in the rush for claims with little
money ond less household goods. Today
not penny of their savings is left and
every household is a scene of restitution.
The unfortunate people have not the
wherewithal to leave the country and SO
they remain to suffer, and .if help does
not come soon they will die.
The Rev. Mr.. Shane says: 'For the
last three months four families have
been existing upon my pension money.
1t would do in ordinary circumstances
for she sbare wants of my Immediate
family, but with four families you can
imagine what it mesns. Last Monday |
drew S42 for my last quarter. [ paid the
grocery bill which had accumulated
during the last quarter and then had
s1.75. Just before leaving for this trip
I asked for credit for sack of -four, but
was refused ii. Then we had to face
immediate want. 1t had been customary
for the merchants to credit those who
had pensions, as they were sure of get
ting their money. But with credit
denied, the last resource was cut off. My
sOn-in-law and his wife started away in
their wagon Tuesday without cent and
without provisions. They said they might
as well starve on the road as stay there
and starve. have not heard from them
since"
The Kansas City Live Stock Exchange
has appropriated $50 and movement
has been started to send relief to the
destitute.
An appeal for aid has been received
here from Medford, Okla. The citizens
are IN a wretched condition so far as
food and clothes are concerned and pray
for relief. The appeal closes as follows;
"In the name of suffering humanity
We appeal to you for such food and
other things as you can spare to help
the destitute, and that as soon as you
possibly can to appease the hunger of
crying children.

The intensity of confined sound is
finely illustrated at Causbrook castle,

well has 1s feet of water in it, and the
entire interior from top to water is
lined with smooth masonry. This lining
so completely confines the sound that a
