the turpentine orchard by one of the
Messrs. Sweat and found Conrad cutting

voice, said: 'Mr. Conrad, 1 have come to

CONGRESSMAN TURNER TALKS.
He Thinks the Republicans Will
Take Up the TariG at This Session

of Congress.
Valdosta. Ca. Nov. 3o-A Morning
News correspondent had a short chat
with Congressman Henry G. Turner a
few days ago and found him in better
health and spirits than for
long time. His trip across the
ocean was very beneficial TO him. He
suffered none from sea sickness on the
voyage. Mr.. Turner gave it as his opin-
ion. in speaking Of the coming session II
congress, lhat the TepuDilcans Wou-d
take up the tariff question again for she
purpose of Whetting their weapons for
next years national contest.
Nothing was said during the CONVEX
satlOn as TO Mr.. Turner own future in
tentions aud it is probable that none Of
his best friends know exactly what he eX-
poets TO do. lie is about as careless Of
bis own promotion and about as indiffar-
ent TO the opposition that is alleged to
have taken root against him in this dis
trict as a small boy is of last years
birds nests. His intimate friends claim
that he VIII be in the educational cam
paign in this state next year and that his
voice viii be heard from Red Clay to Cal
lahan. He had a very large number CT
invitations 10 speak during his illness
ana, II is said that IT was regretted by
him that he could accept so few of them
His position on the financial question and
his strong endorsement of the present
democratic administration has strength
ened a conviction that he holds dearer
than any Office in GeOrEia's gift. The
fun restoration of mis- health will guaran-
tee one of the mostb rilllant campaigns
Georgia has had in years. whether il is
to hold his Old place in congress or to pull
old Georgia back solidly to genuine dem
ocratic faith. 1t is equally certain, too.
that he is not going to push himself upon
the voters of the Eleventh district. If he
goes back to congress IL will be in ansW er
to the demand for him and not for his
own begging.
1t is supposed that Mr.. Turner will
leave this evening for Washington city
TO be present at the opening of congress

The Colorado Assembly.

The tenth general assembly Of Colo.
RADIO is gnashing its teeth and tearing
Its hair in distraction. The cause Of
this unparliamentarE behavior is the
fact that the English language has nc
pronouns for the common gender, and
that the tenth general assembly Of Colo.
RADIO has three women among its repre-.
sentatives. Every sentence abounds with
"he or she, " "his or her, " him or
her, " until the ears and brains Of the
representatives are weary.
The three women who are members
Of the Colorado legislature are Mrs.
Carrie Holly, Mrs Frances Klook and
Mrs. Clara Cressingham. They are said
to be credit TO their sex In the way
they accept their unique situation. They
took the oath of Office with dignity and
with far more ease than some Of the
youthful masculine Legislators. They
were not overcome when their brethren,
in a spirit of jooularity, appointed them
a committee to escort the new speaker
to the chair. They IRE self possessed
and very watchful. They sit quietly be.
hind their big desks from the time the
speaker s gavel calls them to order until
it is time to go home, Chicago Post.

PHILADELPHIA, Feb l2.--An applioa.
ton for a certiorari to remove the record
from the quarter sessions Of Allegheny

to the supreme court, and the following

troll Of the court Of quarter sessions"

him with false pretences, embezzlement
and larceny, larceny by bailee, conspir
acy with persons unknown to defraud
Eli Benner and others, keeping gamb'
ling house. being a common gambler
etc.
He says that all these charges are
founded upon the same transaction upon
which bills in equity have been filed in
the common pleas courts of Allegheny
county, which are now pending in this
court on appeals therefrom. That the
newspapers have kept up continuous
attack upon him, charging him with all
manner of fraud, trickery and deceit,

facts about the artists who are now EN-.
ployed on so many papers. Many Of them
are women. Women excel particularly
in drawing fashion pictures, and g
clever girl who really has talent will
get perhaps Gao or $50 week as a steady
salary. That is, she can have it until
she gets married and goes off. The sal.

wire that is twisted at each end to the
heavier wire that supports the large

be noticed that the wires which support
the end rows of large spools are extend
