A Baldwin County Prisoner With an
 Unique Experience.

A Baldwin County Prisoner With an
 Unique Experience.
 Mobile Register.
 Deputy Sheriff w. L. Thompson of Baldwin county came over from Daphne yesterday morning en route to the insane hospital at Tuskaloosa, whither he is talk ing Tom Parker, who was arrested last May. charged with entering and robbing the residence of MT. J. M. Railey at Point Clear Parker made a statement at the time of hissarrest that he had been hung up by the neck by two white men named Maurice Stapleton and J. NJ. Swain, who had arrested him. The men were arrest ed and tried, but as there was no evidence the case was mol pressed. Since his ar rest Parker, who is young negro about 9 years of age has been confined in the county jail at Daphne; for the past three weeks he has given evidence of insanity, tearing the clothing from his body and ly- ing in the cell in nude condition. It IS said that he has not closed his yes Tn sleep for over two weeks, ana that his cries and moans while in the cell have been most pitlful Last Monday pr. l.. L. Marechal of Mobile, after max ing an examination, declared the negro to be insane.
 Before leaving for Tuskaloosa yester- day afternoon Deputy Thompson sald that he would bring back with him a Baldwin county prisoner named John Rollings who has been in the insane hos pital for some time and has been pro nounced cured of insanity
 About a year ago an indictment was returned by the Baldwin county grand jury against Rollings, who is white man. charged with the offense of carry ing concealed weapons He escaped into Florida, but afterwards returned to All abama and was arrested by Deputy Thompson on Fish river. After he had been arrested 1t was learned that he was wanted in Florida being charged with having committed a criminal assault upon a female near Millview. A legal fight. ensued between the Baldwin county officials and the Florida authorities. A reouisition was obtained, but the sher- if of Baldwin county had information that Rollings would be lynched on his return to Florida and having captured the prisoner he refused to turn him over until after Rollings should have answered to the state of Alabama for his alleged offense.
 Rollings was lodged in jail at Daphne, where he remained for two months. He became violently insane, and after hav- ing been examined and pronounced of un- sound mind was sent to the hospital at Tuskaloosa. As Rollngs' reason has been restored and the insane hospital au- thorities are ready to discharge him, the deputy sheriff will bring him back to Baldwin county, where he will be given a trial before Judge Hall and the fight between the state of Florida and the county of Baldwin for the possession of Rollings may again be renewed.

HAS A BAR ON HIS FARM.
Successful Evasion of the Indiana Tenn
 perance Law.

Shelbyville, Ind, Aug. 4.-Nicholson's rigid lquor law, effective for time, is now being evaded in a novel way. Ivory Cutsinger of Edinburg owns farm four miles out of town. In the grove near the farm house he has constructed a saloon and stocked it well. A sign on the struc- ture reads Club House."
 On Sundays he runs hacks from the town to the club house every hour, and the passengers are men who have pur- chased cards from him bearing the print cd legend: "Blue River Social club. The bearer of this ticket is a member of the Blue River Social club and is entitled to share in all the privileges" Cutsinger sells the cards at $1 each, and the holders present them at the bar and get what they want. Hundreds of people belong to the club. Officers seem powerless to stop the traffic.

 He says that when a fellow took soup and did not pay for it before he com mence to eat it, a waiter would walk up and stick large syringe in the soup plate and suck it all up. As soon as the fellow would reach down in his pocket and pull out the money it would be squirted back in the plate again.
 As exaggerated as it may sound, the following is a bill of fare that the colo mel served at his restaurant:

Story of Counterfeit s1o Bill. ssss

1leuliOHt lllqulIeT
 A gentleman found a. $10 counterfeit bill and not knowing that 1t was spu- rious paid neighbor debt of $1O with 1t: and his neighbor in turn paid another debt of equal amount with the bill, and it continued to circulate and pay debts until it passed through the hand of the tenth man. who owed the finder $l0, and he received it in payment for the amount and discovering at last that it was counterfeit, he destroyed it, and thus debts amounting to $100 were paid by the worthless note, and nobody was in- jured by it. This story Illustrates the fact that very small amount of money per capita" would be sufficient to carry on the business of the country. if that amount could be kept in constant cir culation.
 The above has been going the rounds of the state press uncredited and has been treated like poor orphan of un- known parentage. Wonder who told it, anyway.-Tuskaloosa Gazette.
 The above first appeared in the In- quirer. The former editor Rev. r. If Brewster. having heard the story, gave it publicity and added the point sp aptly illustrates.

Two v1oToR1Rs FoR souNp MONEY.

TWO VICTORIES FOR SOUND MONEY.
 As the campaign of education pro- gresses the sound money cause gains in strength.
 The last of the county conventions in Iowa were held Saturday. The net re- suits is a practical victory for the sound money men. The Age-Herald has already referred to the magnificent fight made by the Democratic Executive Committee of that state, and Saturdays returns were but the aftermath of the harvest.
 On the same day in Kentucky Joe Blackburn received a blow squarely be- tween the eyes. His candidate for the legislature was badly beaten in the primaries both in town and county. The eloquence of the gallant but cratic Ken tuclNian availed him naught. The sturdy sovereigns hardened not to the voice of the eharmers. Their eyes had been opened and they voted for the contin- uanee of prosperity under legitimate con ditions.
 The handwriting is on the wall. The sil- yer craze will soon be thing of the past.

THE ANGLER.

But looki Der the fall sec the angler stand, Swinging his rod with skillful hand The fly at the end of his gossamer line Swims through the sun like a summer moth, Till, dropt with careful precision fine, It touches the pool beyond the froth. A-sudden the speckled hawk of the brook Darts from his covert and seizes the hook. Swift spins the reel with easy slip The line pays out, and the rod, like whip, Lithe and arrowy, tapering, slim. Is bent to a bow OCT the brooklet's brim Till the trout leaps up in the sun, and filings The spray from tho flash of his finny wings; Then falls on his side, and, drunken with
 fright
 Is lowed to ths'ssrre like staggering barge, Till beae!lc,l ut Ls,t on tho sandy marge, Where he dies with tho hues of the morning
 light,
 While his sides with a cluster of stars are
 bright.
 Tho angler in his basket lays The constellation and goes his ways.

Mir William Ryan of the Richmond State is an experienced newspaper man and was one of the inside workers during the campaign. He is in close touch with the administration. It is hardly probable that he would fall into the mis- take made by the French editor who pub lished what Ambassador Eusts said in private conversation. Therefore, 1t IS more reasonable to suppose that MT Ryan spoke by the card. Probably Mr. Carlisle wanted to throw out feeler and did so in that manner. He wanted an ex- presson from the people as to his candi- dacy We'll if Carlisle is nominated 1t will be fun to see the free silver Demo- crats walk up to the polls and vote for him. The free silver Democrats have abused Carlisle so much for his sound money speeches that it would be a just retribution if they had to vote for him.

Pireon Flying at Sen.

Trials of French pigeons tend to over throw the theory that these birds are useless on the water where there are no land marks. The experiments were in duced by recent accidents to large ocean, going vessels. Of 1900 released 200 kilo- metres from shore. all but a few came quickly to land. The same experience occurred with birds released 300 kilo- metres out. Finally 1900 were let loose 800 kilometres from the shore. All but about dozen, which were either tired or sick. started for France. The start was at 4.30 a. m, and by night the birds had reached their homes at Tours, Renpes Amiens etc. and they kept on returning that evening and the following day. It is believed that birds will find their way ashore at twice this distance

The political upheaval in England will nrobably bring up again the question of erecting statue to Crom- well. This is a monument building age. Perhaps we shall yet see monument to Benedict Arnold. There is nothing so changeable as our views of the past. Ev- cry age looks upon the heroes of the past from a different point of view. Theolo- gians of today contend that Judas was saved, that the prodigal son was better man than his elder brother, and that Esau had noble traits of character. Historians tell us that the heroes of Ho- mer were brutal .barbarians, that Bru- tus was a patriot and that Nero's love of music plainly proved that he was not "ft for treason. strategems and spells. Lterateurs argue that Thackery is su perficial, that Dickens is caorse and that Milton is prosaic. The predominant characteristic of this age is it's iconoclas- tic spirit.
