TIMME FOR A HOLD DOWN.
In for Doing the Business He Was Elected
to Do.

to Do.
When the resolution came up in the
state senate Friday asking that the
legislature adjourn until Tuesday Sen
ator Timme opposed it on the ground
that it was time the senate was getting
down to business. Adjournment to
Tuesday meant the loss of day in
committee work. The resolution was
not cOncurred in.
Among some of the other things he
did Friday were to introduce bill call
ing for an appropriation of $4,000 for
the erection of soldiers monuments on
the battlefield Of Chickamauga, which
is now national park. 1t was intro
duced at the request of the commits
sioners who we're appointed two years
ago to cooperate with the national
commission. The 500, 900 is to be used
for the erection of a monument for each
Wisconsin regiment of infantry and
cavalry and each battery that partici-
pated in the famous fight. The regi-
ments that were in the battle were the
First, Tenth, Fifteenth, Twenty-frst
and Twenty fourth volunteer infantry
and the First volunteer cavalry, and
the batteries were the Third, Fifth and
Eighth. They are to be erected before
the date for, the dedication of the park,
September 10 next. The bill also pro-
vides for the appointment of two addi-
tional commissioners who will get no
pay, but will be allowed $500 between
them for travelling expenses. 1t is a
matter of pride with the state to erect
the monuments, many of the other
states having already erected monu-
ments to their soldiers. Ohio has put
up some beautiful ones close to the po-
sition of the Wisconsin troops and if the
state does not want to be behind it
will have to make the appropriation at
once.
The committee onstate affairs recon-
mended No. 10 Senate bill, providing
that deposits of state funds in any bank
shall not exceed half its capital stock,
be referred to Senator Timme as q
committee of one. The bill was so re-
ferred and the captain will have to look
after the interests of that bill all alone.
The resolution to Investigate Jerry
Dobbs' Office was concurred in without
opposition by the assembly.

To Limit the State Deposits.

Senator Timme is evidently in Madi-
son for business. He has turned an
other powerful battery against himself
by introducing a bill in the legislature,
which, if carried, will limit the amount
the state can deposit of its moneys in
in any bank to one-half the capital of
the institution. 1t is creating a furry
among bankers, who do not want any
limit placed on deposits. 1t would be
a pretty safe proceeding on the part OF
the state.

Chicken Stealing.

Scarcely a week now passes without
some poultry yard being raided by
thieves. So numerous have been these
depredations and so great the losses
therefrom, that the farmers and persons
residing near the city limits have been
devising schemes to find out who the
rascals are. They have fixed up a ser
les Of alarms SO that anyone who goes
prowling about the premises after
nightfall will arouse the inhabitants by
sounding gong in the house. The
invader of chicken houses where the
owners have adopted this excellent de-
vice for protecting their property, will
undoubtedly receive a somewhat warm
reception. A loaded shotgun or Win
chester stands ready for use OH the
shortest notice, and ifany resistance be
made serious consequences will be
likely to follow.

MRS. ASTOR'S PARASOL.

Mrs. John Jacob Aston brought over
a dream of parasol from Paris,
which she used for the first time 1T
Saratoga few days ago. Closed it
resembles nothing 50 much as a long
slim roll of violets, with a handle of
green enamel, thickly studded with
amethysts. Opened, it proved to be
the inevitable sunshade. but such a
beauty of a sunShade was never seen
before. The lining was rose lilac,
just the shade so becoming to Mrs.
Astor, and which she usually wears.
1t was not put on straight and plain
after the manner of the Old-fashiOned
Innings, but the soft, silky chiffon was
folded in and out in an indescribably
pretty fashion, forming such a frame
for her delicate beauty that you al
most forgot to look and see how those
violets were put on the outside.

RIaSE.

He sees no romance in rose
That graced an hour fair ones
treSSeS.
He laughed at love, as one who knows
That maids were only made for
dresses;
He tells you looks are ladies' lies,
That pledges bore unless they're
broken,
And as for tears and tender signs,
They only painful stays betoken!
He lives, he says, an age too late,
For this ones hero is a farmer,
And seeks relief in slurring fate
Because not born a knight in armor.
Life nowadays is all blank,
Containing not one new sensation:
And what's a million in the bank?
Why, nothing but an aggravation!
Dear! dear! cannot quite agree
With all he says, because-well,
Polly
Is not so great and fine, maybe,
But she makes life seem mighty
jolly!
l dare say I'm a simple wight
To think her pretty, true, forgiving
But l retain my appetite,
And find a real delight in living!

and Dr. Lennard, with closed lip,
rang the bell sharply Old Judith, her
face almost as cloudy as her masters,
came up quickly, fastened hy the I'M
perative peal.
"Your mistress is not well,' he said.
pointing to the now silent Pauline.
who lay in heap on the couch,
quivering like a frightened child, and
gasping for breath. ''Get her to bed
as quickly as you can, and then call
me-
He left the room as he spoke, and
the spoiled girl on the couch gave a
more angry sob as she heard him go
ing out.
''Paul!' she cried, under her breath
almost; but if he heard he did not
heed, and the indignant judith was
not likely to repeat the summons.
Pauline went to bed of her own free
will, but she would not let Judith call
the doctor.
'tShe was almost well,'' she said,
had slept"
Guessing something of this, the doe
tor fingered by the gate for some time,
and, then, finding he was not sum-
moned indoors, he strolled off to the
beach.
The wind was high, and the sky
gloomy enough in parts. The waves,
all f1ecked with foam, rolled in with
an angry roar. and Kenmore Sands
looked dismal enough in the cleaning.
Turning on to them, the doctor saw
he was not the only one who had ven
tured out, in spite of the high wind
and the threatening storm.
A few yards in advance of him,
standing where the spray fell over
her in showers, was a young girl,
| rather above the medium height;
slender and we'll built, without being
exactly graceful, you might see at a
glance that, though she was no longer
a child, she was not yet quite a
woman. Her hat was off, and her
! fresh young face was dimpling and
| flushing with sheer delight as the salt
wind swept by her.
| Even in the midst of his bitter
| thoughts DR.. Lennard could not for
bear a smile at the keen enjoyment
| this wild scene evidently afforded the
stranger. for that she was one he saw
at a glance He stood still for a mo-
nent watching her, the amused smile
still on his face, and just them the girl
turned and saw him.
Paul Lennard was naturally 4
handsome man; the rare sweetness of
his smile added greatly to the charm
Of his dark face ind perhaps the
stranger, young as she was, was not
altogether insensible Of this charm
for she biushed vividly as she saw
| him.
Feeling guilty of seeming rudeneSs,
the doctor raised his hat, and turning,
walked in the opposite direction, his
own troubles sweeping ;rway all re,
menbrance of the meeting.

4 PHENOMENAL EVANGELIST.

A phenomenon in the form of g.
year-old negro girl has been devel-
oped at Society Hill. s. c. For a
week the child has conducted a series
of revival meetings, and the effect Of
her preaching is wonderful. She IS
without education and developed her
strange powers not more than ten
days ago. AT first she preached only
to negroes, but now white people are
focking to hear her, and the whole
country round about is in a state Of
great excitement. She quotes scrip
ture by the chapters, uses good Ian
guage and shows amazing insight into
the frailties of humanity. a number
of conversions are reported from her
work.

was gone.
Almost her words were a complaint,
and nothing the doctor could do or
say pleased her from the hour they
left London behind them till he
handed her into the bay-windowed
parlor Of her own house at Kenmore.
There her fretful reached its climax,
and, with storm of hysterical sobs,
she told him he had blghted her
whole life, and made her miserable:
that he never had loved her-he had
only married her for her money.
Standing by the fire, with his arm
resting on the mantel, and his face
turned to the shadow, Paul Lennard
heard her to the end in silence, his
pride too Sorely hurt for him to de-
fend himself, his heart too keenIy
wrung for him to feel anger against
her even then, for she was his wife,
the first and only woman he had
ever loved. His soul shivered within
him as he stood there, and looked the
fruits of his folly in the face. "A wife
who did not love him had been bad
enough, but a wife who deSpised him
was more than he could bear, though
every instinct of his nature told him
she was unjust. and selfish. and IN
womanly. Presently her sobS ceased.
but finding he did not answer, even
! to upbraid, they began again, this
time made little louder by anger.
You want me to die said she:
you brought me here to die. You
knew this horrible place would kill
me and you want to kill me right Off
that you may get my money. You do
i know you dO!''
The last words rose in shrill cry.

Is
a Tragedy at Foot Ball.
[From the Charlottesville Chronicle of

from the Charlottesville Chronicle of
Monday]
A tragedy occurred during the football game
at the University on Saturday between the
NLawand Med teams, which has thrown a
mantle of sorrow around the whole commu-
nifty. Near the end OF the first half, just be-
fore the Laws made their first touchdown, r.
X. Phelan student from Nashville Tenn,
who had been playing right tackle on the
Law team, swooned, and was carried over the
line. No one had seen Mr.. Phelan receive
any injury. He had been playing hard and it
was supposed that he was overcome by the
strain he had put upon himself during the
fierce struggle by which the Laws had stead
lily forced the ball down toward the Meds'
goal. The game went on. and it was not
until after it had been concluded, that it was
realized by the players that one of their num-
Der was lying unconscious, fatally injured.
The young man had received prompt attention
from the University physicians, as soon as he
had been removed from the ground. DR..
Buckmaster. DR.. Barringer and DR.. Chris
tian attended him, and soon discovered that
Mr.. Phelan was suffering from compression
on the brain, caused presumably from the
bursting of blood vessel. The injured man
was taken to the in6rmary. The doctors re-
NAMED with him, and, while realizing that
there was no hope of saving his life. they did
not discontinue their labor until all further
effort was made useless by his death, about
seven o'clock Sunday morning.

University Achievements,

its past achievements, Major Conrad remark
ed that it.was matter of great regret that the
faculty since the war had made no effort to
make the University of Virginia known Ove1
the world by original literary work. 1--WE
remember" he said. THAT GessEer Harrison
had made it known to Latin and Greek
scholars in Europe by his work on Greek
propositions and by his exposition of some of
l. the laws of the Latin Language. Professor
Gildersleeve made it know by his Greek
grammar and his editions of Greek authors;
Courtenay by his Calculus; Bledsoe. by
his "Theodicy' and his Liberty and Slav-
cry; Schele de We're, by his numerous works
on philology, and McGuffey. by his series of
school readers. and all of them hy their con-
tributions to the periodicals of the day and the
alumni OF the university have hoped and ex-
pected that the younger men who have taken
the places of those who have gone, would have
striven to keep lighted the torch which had
been committed to their hands,"
