The Governors Election

The result of the election for Govern.
or is still in doubt. Although the re.
turns as reported in the dispatches sum
up plurality for Taylor there are
charges of election frauds which. if
they be true and if they be properly in
vestigated. may show that the Demo
cratic candidate is not really elected.
That there have been gross frauds per.
petrated in West Tennessee and in
counties in other parts of the State is
evident. There is indicated q deter.
mination on the part of the Repub.
lican Committee to demand an investi.

OF Nashville and its chaste and elegant
simplicity of design will attract the es.
pecial attention of the numerous visi.
tors who will come to Nashville in the
summer and fall of 1897. The Presi-
dent, Mira. Van Leer Kirkman, is un-
firing in her efforts to make the Wo-

promises to surpass in interest those of
both the Atlanta and Chicago exposi-

Gov. oFerrall Regrets the South's Mistake
Gov. O'Ferrall, of Virginia, is one OF
the sound money democrats who &C.
lively resisted the election of BRYAN
and who rejoiced in his defeat He
believes the Democratic party will con-
tinue in state of collapse unless 1t
abandons the leadership of anarchists
like Altgeld and Tillman. The free
silver agitation is regarded as craze
by Gov. O'Ferrall. In declaring for
free silver many ignorant and illiterate
people were induced to believe they
were to have free money and plenty of
it. II am sorry the good people of the
south, said he, "cut loose from those
who have sent the most capital into
her midst for the development Of her
industries, and tied herself to the little
silver burros' of the west. When did
any of those western silver States ever
send dollar into the south that would
aid In the development of Its indus
triesp On the contrary, has not nearly
every dollar come from the northp But
they cut loose from the north-spit In
the face of New York, Massachusetts,
Connecticut and other States which
have spent money in developing her
infant industries. "
Speaking of the results that will fol-
low the election Of Mckinley, the Gov
ernor said:'I believe confidence will
be restored and prosperity return. 1t
may be shaken, however, by Bryan's
agitation. The whole business, which
really is originated by the silver st,
will never make the same fight as It
did this time. The people know a thing
or two. 1t has been veritable cam
paign of education. ."-Washington Let.
ter in Philadelphia Ledger.

Faultfinding aud Criticism.

Faultfnding is not criticism in the
better sense Of that word. The critic
Is judge, and 1t is as much his duty
to award praise as to point out defects.
III nature is the only qualification one
need to have to find fault successfully
with the achievements or character of
others, but one must have knowledge,
insight and cultivation to see the
strong as well as the weak points In a
piece OF handicraft, work Of art, or
human character. Jesus said: "Judge
not that ye be not judged" 1t is not
noticed by the commentators, so far
as we are aware, that these words imply
that the Judgment we pass on Others is
the sure index Of our own characters.
The Ill natured, censorious, unappreci-
alive remark, that fastens upon faults
to the neglect Of excellencies, reveals
infallibly the mean and narrow soul
OF the faultfinder. And then we find
critics who do not hesitate to point out
defects, but withsuch comprehensive
and generous recognition of what is of
worth that their judgment uncon.
sciously witnesses to the nobility and
breadth of their own natures. tits
good rule to be critical but to avoid
faultinding. Boston watchmsu.

BOOKS BOUND IN HUMAN SKIN.
Paris Has the Fad of Preserving Mementoes
Of the Departed.


of the. Departed.
Paris has taken violently 10 the bu.
man skin fad. If you want to show
your devotion to dear, departed friend
in way that will leave no doubt of
your love, you secure as large a sec.
ton OF his cuticle as possible and pro-
ceed to have it made up for tobacco
pouch, cigarette case or prayer book.
The prayer book is the most correct
form OF the memento. There is a fine
blending here of love and devotion.
and many trim Paris maid today re.
peats her prayers from tiny volume
that is artistically bound in portion
OF the mortal remains of dear friend
or relative who has crossed the Styx.
says the New York Herald.
Ofcourse the removal of the skin
suggested to laymen something more
shocking than the mere clipping of the
lock of hair. But this was only to the
Imagination of the untutoder. The
task of removing the skin was intrusted
only to the hands of skilled surgeon.
From their custody 1t passed to the
control of highly skilled tanners, 80
that by the time it reached the person
on whose account the operation had
been performed the skin was dainty,
highly scented fabric, with all the ar.
tistic qualities of vellum.
From the prayer book idea, to which
the skin covering was at first strictly
confined, it gradually spread until it
came to serve as the covering of secu-
lar books. From this point the grada.
ton to pocket books, to cigar cases, to
cigarette cases and to the hundred and
one other trifies where 1t was possible
to employ 1t was easy, uuti now al.
most everybody who AMOUNTS to any
thing has one of these peculiar souven-
irs.
The human skin lends itself pecu
liarly to the tanners art, and the effort,
from an artistic standpoint, of the
memorial prayer book and other articles
was so pleasing that those persons who
mad not been fortunate enough to have
close friends or dear relatives dead
sought in the open market for similar
coverings. The result was what might
have been .expected-the dealers pro-
vided what their customers demanded,
Or at any rate, pretended to. When
asked where they got their supplies
they whispered mysteriously: .'The
medical college, monsieur and then
they added, dropping the whisper for
confidential tone, ''of course Il is,ex-
pensive, this wonderful new leather for
we can only get 1t through the medical
students on the sly. Thousands of
bodies are disected every year, and
could we get the cuticle openly It
might not be SO very expensive. But
We must act in secret, and, monsieur
Knows, secrecy costs money"
Another phase of this strange craze
the use of criminals skins-that is.
sreat criminals. When q murder or
anarchist of national renown finds his
way to the guillotine there is an eager
cramble for enough of his skin to
over anything from franc piece to a
igar case. The executioner makes
ot little extra money from this
ource, as the souvenir hunters are able
pay fancy price for the coveted
reasure.

CHILDREN's DAY EXERCISES.


 ] On Saturday the ladies of the Metho- dist church met to decorate for Chil- dren'8 Sunday. This day is set apart by the church for special services. A col lection is taken which is used for the education ofthose preparing for the min istry or missionary work and who have not the resources to defray their ex- penses. The exercise used for the cay was "Our Young Crusaders" Despite the fact that the measles and the rains had interfercd with rehearsals, the young people did themselves credit. Banners were displayed representing the Cold Water Army, Home Guards, Good Con- duet Band, State Protectors, Good Citzen- ship Brigade, Church Defenders, Student Recruits, and others. Little Master Trask's recitation of the 23d Psalm and little Miss Ruth Wheeler's piece were much enjoyed. The Sunday school is under the management of Arthur Ab- bolt, who works for its success.
 Clarence Munson has come to Middle bury to spend the remainder of the sum- mer.
 Miss Grace Pullon has recovered from the measles and is out again,
 Mrs Pullon attended the funeral of her friend, Mrs Haightman of Simonsville, who died so suddenly at the home of her parents in Bradleyville.
 In consequence of the storm of Sunday before last the Methodist church was not opened.
 A very pleasant social event took place at the home of Henry Judd on Saturday, the occasion being the 85th birthday of his father, Spencer Judd. Mir and Mrs Merriman of LitchfieId, the parents of Mrs Judd, were present. After a b0unti- full supper the pastor, Rev J, o. Munson, was asked to make 8 speech. He recall ed his boyhood days when he used to ex- pect Mir Judd and his son at church as regularly as the Sabbath came, and the hearty meeting~in the class room after preaching. He recalled the many events in MT Judd's life that tested his soul, but he had been carried over, and was spend ing charming and cheerful period in his serene old age, attesting that there is a power that preserves a man whose trust is staid upon Him who has promised to carry one even to old age and hoary hairs. He alluded to the delightful home he has with his children, who spare no pains to make his life happy. MT Judd responded with characteristic earnest ness, recalling his religious experience and the inspira tion it has been to him. The company left with many wishes that he might be preserved for many years to come.
 Sunday, June 2I,. was the anniversary of Rev J. o. Munson's preaching his first sermon to his first charge, which was in Litchfeld. Among his hearers were Mir and Mrs Merriman, who by a strange coincidence were present at the services on Sunday morning.
