rived. They were on the streets
last night and were badly needed.
Fifth Ward Elmendorf Club No.
l held we'll attended meeting at
Nentwig's hall, corner East Hous-
ton and Bowie streets, last night.
One OF the main features was the
discussion of how to have a fair
election and to see that men en-
titled to vote be not shut out at
the polls, as was the case in many
instances at the city election two
years ago. AT this clubs next
meeting, which takes place to-mor-
row night, at the above named hall,
the question will be Of how to keep
men not entitled to vote from do
ing so.
The Seventh Ward Elmendorf
club, at Puppies hall, on Dakota
and Hackborry streets, was very
largely attended last night.
There were twenty.six new
members added to the clubs
roll. The speakers were Messrs.
Robt. Summerlin, J. L. Burgess,

J. G. Cumberland. After all the
speakers had finished, Mr.. Gray
was called again for another speech,
which he responded to and greatly
pleased his audience.

clubs will have mass meeting on
Saturday night, next, at Charles
Piper's store, on Wyoming street
between Walnut and Cherry. There
will be good speaking and lots Of
fun.

man who is in daily contact with a
pillow doesn't wax poetic on the sub
ject.
When about nine years old the poet
was, for little while, Office imp" on
the Savannah Morning News, and
while there it was part of his duty to
sweep the Office of slim young news
reporter by the name of Joel Chandler
Harris Uncle Remus" had not
stories, and Mr.. Harris was employing
his spare moments in writing verses.
From the News Office their paths led
apart, and each passed out of the
others memory till very recent years
brought them together again.
From farm labor Mr.. Stanton went
into the newspaper Office, drifting
about through South Carolina and
Georgia as typesetter and printer, all
the time scattering his verses like
flowers along the way. A good provi-
dence kept the youth in the fields till
his heart was bound TO nature, and
from thence led him into circumstances
where he might pour out on the hearts
of men the sunshine that had been gar
nered in his own.
From printer and contributor he be-
came an editor. And while at the
head of little paper called the Smith
vile News he received letter from
Joel Chandler Harris asking for po-
litical contributions to the Constitu.
ton Little did Mr.. Harris suspect
that the verses which were charming
people far and near were from the pei
of the little black-eyed chap who had
played the devil" in his office in Sa-
vannah.
In a short time came the offer of d
reportorial position on the Constitu-
ton from Henry w. Grady. This Mr..
Stanton declined, and it was not until
the death of Mr.. Grady that he ac-
cepted, through the influence of Mr..
Harris, an editorial position on that
paper. From then on his popularity
has been on the increase, till he is
known and read in two hemispheres.
Though our poet is by no means with
out honor in his own country, it is
from distant places that the most fiat
tering testimonials come.
In Paris his genius has been recog-
nized and complimented, while in
England he has made place for him
self in the hearts of the people.
Jerome's Magazine copies his verses
regularly, and he often receives per
sonal letters from English readers who
have heard the echo of his songs
across the seas. In recent meeting
of London authors Mr.. Stanton's little
ballad, "Clarisse," was read. Those
who know the gem can appreciate the
reception it received. When, in reply
to question, the name of the autho'
was given, one of the number ex
claimed, enthusiastically well, h
has beaten Dobson on his own grounds!

Something About Frank stanton, the
Sweet Singer of Atlanta.
Having lost his father at a very early
age, says the Philadelphia Times,
Frank Stanton spent the three years
of his life, from nine to twelve years,
saving wood for living. From then
on, for a number of years, he worked
in the fields under the hot southern
suns, gaining his knowledge of books
from his voracious application to them
after the sun had gone down on his
field of daily labor, 1t is to this period
of his life that the poet has recourse
for the materials of his Songs of the
Soil" but it is to the mellowing, ideal
izing intervention of years that the in
spiration is due. AS he himself says, a

THE PITTSBURG DISTRICT.
The Iron and Steel Trade Contest to Wait
 Bit.

Pittsburg, Pa.. July 25.-The iron and steel trade has been in such rush for a time that manufacturers having orders far ahead are content to wait a while and let the market stand where it is. But while the market is easier, there is nothing like weakness apparent. In all lines prices are fully up to last weeks quotations, with the demand firm and steady The indications for fall trade are decidedly gratifying. For the first time in several weeks there has been no advance in the price of pig iron. Fur naces are pushing production, but stocks are not accommodating. The nominal price for steel rails is now $27. Plates and blooms and billets are very much in demand, with prices advancing, with mill capacity crowded and high figures offered for immediate delivery, which is very difficult to secure. There is also great activity in merchant steel at former prices quoted.

 State Chemical Laboratory, Agricultural and Mechanical College,
 Auburn Ala. July a. 1Sai J. B. Gaston. Judge of Probate. Mont gomery, Ala
 Sir: I have completed my analysis of the liver, spleen. kidneys and part of the intestines of w H. Spivey deceased, and have been unable to detect the presence of morphine in these organs or in the liquid contents of the jar in which the viscera were forwarded to this office
 A much larger portion of this fluid was used in this analysis than in the pre- ceding examination, though this had no apparent influence upon the results se- cured.
 The analysis was condueted as before, with the greatest care, and no precau- tiof was neglected which would contrib ute to the successful detection of the poison supposed to have been present.
 All the chemical reagents used were carefully tested and were found to give quite satisfactory and characteristic tests with extremely small quantities of the pure morphine salts of the laboratory.
 All residues were also purified as care fully as possible from organic matter Of foreign character before dppiylHS thc characteristic tests for morphine.
 microscopic examination was also made of a portion of one of the residnes, but was unable to detect any character istic crystalline deposit As stated in my previous report. quite number of possi- ble reasons can be assigned for the non detection of morphine tprovided 1t was administered under the circumstances and conditions attendant upon this case and some of the best authorities report a number of instances of this kind.
 Although my results are of negative character, I have endeavored to perform all the details of the work as thoroughly and carefully as possible. and my final report has been delayed in order that due care and accuracy should be observed in this examination. Very respectfully,
 B. B. ROSS, State Chemist.
