of our dollar to fifty cents. If applied
to our national bonds it is a reputation
of one-half of all debts. It confers no

whether Of the farm. the workshop or

and an infusion of normal saline solu-

Up to that time'he had been conscious
and talked at intervals. His words
were full of bravery. He fully appreci.
ated his condition and spoke
Words Of Hope and Cheer
to his stricken wife and daughter.
Some times his mind slightly wan
dered and went back to the days of
long ago, recalling incidents Of life and
happiness in the spring time OF his life.
He spoke, too, of his absent son and his
private secretary, Mr.. Lands, whom
he loved as son, and who, like his
son, was speeding to his bedside, all too
late
At l:15 his breathing ceased, peaceful
shadows passed over his pale counten-
ance, his pulse dickered and the sor-
rowing family were in the presence OF
death. One Of the nurses conveyed the
news that the end had come to the
physicians in the next room, and they,
in turn, brought it to the watchers in
the reception room.
The Secretary's Last Illness.
When Secretary Gresham was taken
sick four weeks ago the physician di-
agnosed the case IS stone in the
bladder. His pleurisy symptoms
were overlooked for almost Sc
hours. As soon as Dr.. w. w. John.
ston, who is now the attending physi-
clan, was called in, he discovered that
the secretary was suffering from an
acute case of pleurisy, probably caused
by exposure while riding out to Wood
ley, the presidents country place, at
night. In the meantime the gall stone
had passed. The secretary's right lung
was already affected, the cavity being
already filed with pleuratic fluid, his
Respiration Rose to -.
The physicians decided not to tap the
cavity, but to rely upon absorption to
rid it of the exuded fluid. Gradually
Secretary Gresham grew better. The
respiration was reduced almost to nor
NAL. Last Saturday when DR.. Johnston
thought all danger past, the left lung
suddenly became affected and filed
rapidly Since then either DR.. Johnston
or the consulting physician have been
at his bedside constantly, as have Mrs.
Gresham and the secretary's son-in-
law, Mr.. Andrews. He passed very
bad night Saturday night and bad
day Sunday, gradu lily growing worse
until Monday evening, when he sank
rapidly until the end.

Energetic Measures to Prevent an Epi-

ST. PAUL, May %. The Pioneer
Press says:
Health Commissioner Stone and DR..
Price, the live stock inspector, were
kept busy all day investigating reports
from all parts of the city relative to
dogs suspected of suffering from rabie,.
One of the first reports in the morning
was that the uog which bit John Barn.

dogs in the neighborhood of his homo

station to get particulars as to the dogs
that had been bitten, and he received
word that all that were known to have
been bitten Were quarantined. In the
afternoon DR.. Price examined the dogs.
DIR. Price traced one dog to house on
Mississippi street. He examined him
and, suspecting that he was suffering
from rabies, had him quarantined to
await developments.

THE ATLANTA EXPOSITION.

Atlanta is bearing the greater share of the expense of the Exposition, yet it will notbe benefited in proportion to expendi- ture as other sections of the South. But Atlanta never stops to count costs. 1t pushes right ahead. Would that every city had such enterprise!
 One good result of the Ex position will be the closer uniting of all sections of the United States. Already we see an indica- tion of this desirable result. The Cincin- nati Commercial Gazette, which has here- tofore said some bitter things toward the South, is now heart and soul in favor of the Exposition, as the following editorial indicates:
 The city of Atlanta is exhibiting extraor- dinary and at the same time commendable zeal in preparing for the Exposition which is 10 open in September, 1895. Two million dollars is the estimated cost. This Is large sum- considering the population and wealth of the municipality. In addition Congress ap- propriated $300,000 for Government ex- hibit The city of Atlanta, of course, ex- poets to get back directly large part or the whole Of it's expenditures. Perhaps it will. It may be it will be disappointed in part, as Chicago was, but indirectly it will profit by the enterprise, as the Southern States gener- ally will profit by it.
 In no part of the country where expositions have been held has more solid faith been ex- hibited than Atlanta, and nowhere has more been done in the line of progress that deserves greater success. We trust that full success will crown the Atlanta undertaking.
 Atany rate it will be great Exposition. It will show in the first place what the4tew South is capable of. It will show also what that sec- tion Of our country needs of the products of northern branches of industry.
 Cincinnati is especially interested in this en- terprise. Being the foremost manufacturing city of the Central Ohio Valley, and being closer 10 the South than most other Northern cities, and being purchaser on large scale of Southern products, while also seller on a large scale of our own and other products,

COMMISSIONER NAILS CASE.

The disclosure made by the grand jury yesterday of an alleged offense committed by County Commissioner Nail, created a genuine sensation in this city. To say that it was a surprise to the public is putting it hardly strong enough. It shocked the public, for there had been no intimation that such an offense had been committed by the high official. MT. Nail has hereto- fore stood very nigh in the estimation of the people of Jefferson county otherwise he would never have been elected county com- missioner. The law imposes extraordinary duties and responsibilities upon the office of county commissioner. The members of that commission are the guardians of the interests of the peope-having direct con- tro of every department of ;he county government, her finances, her roads, her health, her poor, her jail, and last, but not least, the selection of her juries. If MT. Nail has betrayed the trust reposed in him by the people, he is guilty of a high crime and ought to be punished as the law directs. If he be in- nocent he is entitled to acquittal. Public expression of opinion ought not to be al- lowed to bias the popular mind, either for or against him. He is entitled to fair trial and must have it.
 The grand jury is to be commended for the prompt action taken in Investigating this matter and in bringing it to the atten- tion of the court. This action is not an in- diclment in the general sense of the term, but directs that proceedings be instituted against the accused in order that the case may be further investigated and the of- iender removed from office. This is sim ply the primary step in accordance with the law.
 Thus Jefferson county sets an example worthy the emulation of other parts of the State, and quite different from the general custom. A grand jury is first to discover and first 10 make public what appears to be an offense committed by an official.

UNION SPRINGS.

SOME COTTON MILL FIGURES THAT ARE
 WELL WORTH READING. -r,. Union Springs Herald.
 Cotton mills of the south are attracting such an amount of attention from all direc- tions that the Herald gives here a news item about the Union Springs cotton mills editorial position, and does not orsider it out of place.
 On Tuesday of last week meeting of the stockholders was held in the court house, which resulted in the reelection of the former officers.
 The board of directors is composed of Messrs B T Ely, s T Frazer, c H Franklin, J D Norman, J H Rainer, Sr, w E Piercs, N P Banks, w M Stakely, Sr. and L Ses- sions. This body of observant business men, with the assistance of the president and secretary and treasurer, Dr. c. H. Franklin and MT. J. H. Rainer, Jr. respec- lively, who have been reelected, have guided the mill in successful aud most profitable channels, until now they are among the best paying investments in southeast Alabama.
 At the last meeting semi-annual divi- dend of per cent was declared. This is in addition to payments ou the bonds and an increase of about 75 per cent of the ma chInery that was in position about twelve months ago. All of this comes from the earnings of the mills.
 At the recent meeting, last Tuesday, it was ordered that the per cent bonds, amounting to FAC, GOO, be recalled, and in their stead be issued per cent bonds 10 the amount Of S35 ,000, of which MT. N. P. Banks of Columbus, Ga., agrees to take S10, ,000 worth, and no trouble will be ex- perienced in issuing the remaining S25 ,001.
 These mills can well afford to challenge any in the south to show a better record.
 Such grand success is due to the efficient management under which the mills have been operated.

Cincinnati merchants and manufacturers should take occasion to avail themselves of the opportunity to make a great and practical display in the Exposition. Not only should our manufacturers be largely represented there. but many of our wholesale merchants also. The latter remark applies especially to our great dry goods and clothing dealers. Cincinnati is near to the South; it is right on the Inc Of superior railroad lines The mar kets Of the South are open to it, and If it does not avail itself of the opportunity presen ted the fault will be it's own.
 Most assuredly the people of the sSouth will visit the exposition in large numbers, and thus buy CTS and sellers will meet together on common ground. Northern people should also visit it in large numbers.
 It is true the Columbian exposition was an exhaustive affair. There was so much there that it could not all be seen. There was great deal that was hardly worth seeing, looked at from practical standpoint.
 Tie Atlanta exposition will not be near so large; it will not cover so much ground, and therefore 1t can be more readily inspected At the same time. there will be compressed within its limits much that will prove new, much that will prove interesting, and much that will be of real practical value 10 those en- gagged in industrial pursuits. The people oi Cincinnati, Ohio, Indiana and Illinois will miss d great deal and lose much in the line of ex- perience if they fail to visit atlanta. Many will go there partly for recreation and pleas ure, but formidable number will go there within the four months of the continuance of the exposition with view to business.
 It is also to be borne in mind that the season WEI be propitious. There will be neither scorching suns nur northern blizzards, but q climate that will prove favorable to visitors
 The main purpose of this article. however, is to imp ress upon those who lead in the in dustries of Cincinnati and its surroundings the importance of occupying every foot of space that may be obtainable in the approach ing Atlanta Exposition. The trade of that country is worth having, and being thus val uable, it IS worrh reaching for, and we may be sure that it will not be obtained in reason- able iullness without an effort.

THE Spanish government does not recog. nize the Cuban revolutionists as belliger- ents, but as rebels. Hence when prisoners are taken they will not be imprisoned or exchanged IS prisoners of war, but will be executed. This seems barbarous, and yet it was suggested in the beginning of the war between the States. Not only did some of the rabid abolitionists of the North advocate such a course toward the Southern "rebels," but such a sentiment prevailed to some extent in the South. Even Stone- wall Jackson urged a war of extermination, and contended that all Federal prisoners should be hung. General Lee restrained his impetuosity. 1t is strange that pious, puritanical professor like Jackson would urge such barbarity-but then his was a strange character.
