a summer girl came out of city res
1dence the other morning and noticed
on the pavement two men, who acted
as if they were trying to catch some thing,
says the Louisville Courier-Journal. She
gave them very Indifferent attention, but
as she stepped out of the gate she heard
one of the men say, eXcitedlY:
There, miss, il ran under your Dress. -
Ran under my dress" she cried with
a lively jump; what ran under my
dress?"
why. a white mouse" he ans wered.
we upset our cage of them out here
and have caught all but one-the one
that is under your dress"
The summer girl scampered back into
the house and came back shortly quite
indignant.
1T is not So" she said. Your mouse
didn't get on me at all. / examined MY
dress thoroughly, and it was not there.
IAN right" the man said, Il saw it
go under your dress; we have lost a
white mouse and you have got it,"
Still indignant, the summer girl walked
on down the street. Several squares
away from home she felt a queer, Wrig-
Cling sensation on her person just under
the clothes at the belt. She grabbed the
spot and dashed into a doctors office,
which was fortunately at hand
''Oh, please" she hurriedly exclaimed
to the doctor. won't you call your wife?
/ think l have a mouse on me-"
Mrs. Doctor came to the rescue, and
sure enough, snugly hidden in the folds
of the summer girls fluffy gown, but
quite dead from the hearty squeezing,
was the poor little lost white mouse.

They Were Disappointing.

Three distinguished scientists were sit
ting around small table in the Cosmos
Club the other night, says the Washington
correspondent of the Chicago Record,
when a heavily bewhiskered person OF
large stature came rolling in, with smile
upon his cOuntenance which indicated a
mixture of rum and good nature.
Beg your pardon, hic." he observed, 81

because l wanted to see the famous
scientists and library men of Washing
ton, an hear 'em talk, hic. Don't know
nOthin' bout science myself, hicy but al

And he sat down in a convenient chair.
The three scientists regarded him with
some amusement, and one said cordially:
Won't you draw up your chair and have
something with us?'
Don't care if / do and he ordered
whisky and water. Having added another
dose to the load he was already carrying,
he contemplated his companions with a
benignant smile, and said: "Why don
you talk, hic. / come to hear you talk

talk, hic. They're SO bright and 'struc-
tive, hic. That's what l come here for -
The scientists smiled, and exchanged
glances but said nothing, which seemed
to eXasperate the visitor, who slammed
his glass down upon the table, and ex-
claimed:

TiIIman in Washington.

BENJAMIN r. Tillman has entered upon
his duties in Washington as a senator
from South Carolina. His career at the
national capital will be watched with a
great deal of interest not only because of
the reputation he has made in South Caro-
lima, but also because of the promises of
what he will do in the broader arena of
national politics. He has made himself IA
nous in his own state. VIII he increase
his fame at the national capital?
He will soon discover that the tactics
that he has employed at home cannot be
used to advantage in congress- To make
a reputation there he must have, besides
genuine ability, a knowledge of many sub
jects. He has great deal of ability and
he is a logical reasoner. He has also plenty
of courage and a vivid imagination. All
these things he will find useful in Ills new
career, but they will not be sufficient TO
give him a high standing and influence in
the body of which he is now a member
He must have something MORGAN ac-
quaintance with the principles OF govern
ment, of finance, political economy, inter-
national law and many other subjects. lie
may make one or two speeches like those
which have given him prominence in South
Carolina, and like the one he recently de
livered in Atlanta, which will get into the
newspapers and give him a certain kind
of notoriety, but if he is a sensible and
sensitive man, that kind of notoriety
will not be pleasing to him. He
will not be classed as a statesman. lie will
be called what the exhibitors association
at Atlanta calls him. in the resolutions it
adopted and to which reference is made
in our dispatches this morning.
The Senate will not encourage exhibit
tons of bad manners. bad language, bad
temper and of bitterness and hate. 1t will
frown upon them, and if Senator Tillman
persists in giving them he will find his
position made exceedingly uncomfortable.
He will not gain the respect of the coun-
try nor will he make any progress towards
establishing a reputation for statesman
ship.
Senator Tillman is just in the prime of
life and has had remarkable career. The
opportunity is open to him to make his
| career still more remarkable. 1t rests with
himself whether he will be credit to his
state and a benefit to his people or only a
demagogue, having neither the respect of
his associates nor sufficient influence to
serve those whom he represents.

Lie Rlch Nam. AnoIogr.

Among the many passengers on Union
Paclnc train was travelling man, an
eastern capitalist and young man with
a child. The train was two days out from
San Francisco, and persons who have
made this trip realize how tired the pas
sengers must have been, especially those
who Travelled from the far east, says a
writer in the Indianapolis Sentinel The
baby was cross. fretful and irritable, like
most babies generally are, and often its
cries could be heard all over the car
The father, for such the young man prov
ed TO be, did everything in his power
to quiet the child, but without success,
and Tor hours the passengers WithstOOd
the torture without a murmur. The capt.
talist was one of those cranky individu-
ais and moved his seat number of
times, but go where he would the pitiful
cries of the child reached him.
Finally he lost his patience and with
his face red with anger walked up to the
seat occupied by the young father.
Take that brat to its mother" he ex-
claimed loud enough for everybody in the
car to hear. what the devil do you mean
by keeping it here and disturbing every
body in the car? No doubt she's asleep
and cares little whether the baby annoys
us or not"
The father slowly raised his eyes. and
as he did so the tears trickled down his
cheeks like rain. Finally, he spoke, but
IT was with a great effort My wife"
he said. lis in her coffin in the baggage
car. / don't know much about children,
but I'm doing the best | can"
The capitalists face was a study. He
saw that it would be useless to offer an
apology, and without saying a word he
walked back to his seat. The passengers
could see that he was deeply moved, and
what his thoughts were can better be
imagined than expressed. The travelling
man, who occupied the seat behng the
father, reached over and said
Let me take your child l have a lit
tie girl at home and maybe 1 can quiet
yours"
Without word the father handed the
child over the seat to him. The youngs-
ter watched the transaction with wonder
ing eyes, and for a moment was inclined
to cry. Then 1t became interested in his
watch charm, and in a little while was
sound asleep. The loud talk was hushed
and even the poker party broke up. The
father also dropped asleep, and while he
was enjoying his much needed rest the
capitalist walked to the seat in which
the baby was cuddled up. Long an earn
estly he gazed at the innocent face. and
there was something about his eys which
looked like tears The passengers saw
him reach in his pocket, and when ne
drew II out again the fingers clutched a
$l0O-bill This he pinned to the child s
dress and returned to his seat. This was
his way of soothing the wounded feelings
of its father.

The failure of the Bush bill 10 pass the
House does not mean that prohibition is
finally and forever defeated in this state.
It simply means that prohibition has re-
ceived a check. II is probable, n fact it is
almost certain. that the prohibitionists
will renew the struggle for prohibition be-
fore the next legislature. They control
ninety-eight of the one hundred and ttir-
ty-seven counties of the state. and it is
not reasonable to suppose that -hey are go
ing TO rest content with what they have
already achieved. They are very much in
earnest, and they are going 70 continue
their efforts to get a general prohibition
law.
During the contest before the legislature
that ended yesterday, we have not hesitat-
ed to say that we believe the prohibition
lists can accomplish more for the cause Of
temperance by local option than by amy
other means. A general prohibition law
could not be enforced in counties in which
public sentiment was against IL, and ef-
forts TO enforce it would be productive Of
a very bad state of affairs. This view is
not admitted by the prohibitionists. No
argument is sufficient to convince them
that it is correct They contend that they
will see to it that the law is enforced. All
they want is a chance to enforce it.
In all the anti-prohibition counties es-
pecially the counties in which there are
cities, there are many prOhibitionists
Many of them are not active. But they
will become very active, and their number
will increase greatly, unless the law
against Sunday liquor selling is enforced.
With their assistance the prohibitionsts
in another legislature would stand an ex-
cellent chance of succeeding in having a
general prohibition law passed.
The course for the anti-prohibitionists
TO pursue therefore, is to insist upon clos
ed barrooms on Sundays The closing Of
front doors of barrooms and keeping open
back doors will not do. The fact that IL
quor is being sold will be known, and it
will strengthen the prohibition sentiment.
Authorities in cities may say they can
not wholly prevent liquor selling on Sun
days. They can do so if they will give the
police the right kind of Instructions and
the right sort of support The police can
easily find out whether or not the Sunday
liquor law is being violated, and hey can
do it without being spies. Let them un-
derstand clearly that il is their duty to
report all violations of the law, and that
a neglect of that duty will be a cause for
dismissal from the force, and they will see
to it that the barrooms are kept closed on
Sundays.
AS we view it the barrooms must be
closed tight on Sundays or we shall have
a general prohibition law in this state with
in two years. If the saloon keepers are
alive to their own interests they will re-
spect the Sunday liquor law. They will not
run the risk of having their business de-
clared unlawful

| Cotton Exhibit Mt chicago.

The main purpose of the movement
started at Augusta to have a cotton ex-
hibt in Chicago is to induce that city
to furnish to the south capitals with
which to erect cotton mills, print and dye
works. AS an inducement for Chicago
TO do this it is pointed out that Chicago
is the distributing point for $25O, OO0, 900
worth of cotton goods annually, and that
these goods should be manufactured in
the south and shipped to Chicago. At
present the cotton is shipped to the New
England mills from the south, where it
is manufactured into cloth, dyed and
printed, and then sent to New York for
distribution. A great many millions of
dollars are spent in freights in this
method of manufacturing and distrib-
buting the cotton goods consumed in the
west. That vast sum could be saved if
the manufacturing was done in the south.
A very large amount of cotton goods is
now manufactured in the south, but all
of it goes to the New England print and
dye works. There isn't print and dye
establishment in the south. Therefore,
the railroads, New England manufactur-
ers and New York distributors get their
toll out of the cotton manufactured in
the south as well as out of the raw ma
terial
The suggestion made to Chicago is "a
coed one-one that that city should con
slider very carefully. If she should put
some money in dye and print works in
the south she would make a beginning
in controlling trade which would grow
rapidly and, in few years, be of great
value to her

The Strongest Point.
From the Philadelphia Record CDem.).

The best thing in the Presidents mes
sage is its thorough exposure of the
fallacious pretense of protecting the treas

increase of protective duties. By redeem
ing the greenbacks there would be no
no need of more taxes for the purpose
of sustaining what would Geese 70 exist.
