Hon. John G. Houk also came to the
city on this matter. He says they
want the ground allotted to Knox
County for county building, and the
management agree to grant it. He said
that in his opinion the October term of
the County Court would make an ade-
quate appropriation for the erection Of
a creditable building to represent Knox
County at the Centennial. In case this
is not done, he says that private sub
scriptions from the patriotic citizens
and enterprising business men of the
county will be raised of an amount
sufficient to make the showing which
Knox deserves. They do not intend
that fogyism of a County Court-if it
is developed at all-shall keep them
from being represented at the Centen-
NAL.

Through Col Robert Gates, of jack
son, the Centennial Commissioners Of
Fayette County have applied for the
full limit of space allowed to counties,
and say that with or without county
appropriation they will fill all the space
allowed them with exhibits from that
county. This has the right ring to it.,
and is commended to the commission
ers Of other counties.

Shelby County is all right. The last
meeting of the commissioners elected
Justice w. I. Bond at a salary of $40,
to gather the agricultural exhibit, and
Robert Gates, at the same salary, to
gather the exhibit from manufacturers,
forestry, art, literature and statistics.
Then Chairman Fleece was instructed
to advertise for plans and estimates for
a Shelby County building, with cot
ton tower, to be erected on the Centen-
NAL grounds at Nashville. The COM
petition is to be limited to Shelby
County architects. 1t is the desire Of
the committee to give Shelby County
the most imposing and beautiful coun-
ty building at the Exposition. The
committee will at once issue attractive
circular letters to parties throughout
the county, outlining the proposed ex-
hibit, giving a clear conception of its
scope and impressing upon every citi-
zen the Importance Of joining In max
ing the display Of Shelby County the
best at the Centennial. There is no
doubt this action will secure a grand
exhibit with their $25,000

The Carter County women will have
a mighty interesting exhibit. They in
tend to have special exhibit of the
implements with which their first Ten
nessee mothers worked, viz: an old
loom, wheels, large and small, reel,
winding blades, ETC., all in position as
if for work. "In the same space we
could have our exhibit Of old-time
work." writes Mrs. @. HI. Lewis. IF
you think this a good idea and have a
room to spare, will undertake the
task of seeing that it is properly fur
nished. Have quite a number Of ar
ticles, paintings, fancy work, etc.,
promised, and am anxious to know
whether our county will have a sep
| arate space or will have to place our
collection among the general exhibits"
The ladies of Bedford County wish to
erect near the Woman's Building an
old-fashioned log cabin of cedar logs
from that county. 1t would be pretty
idea for the Carter County women to
| furnish this log cabin in the manner
proposed. No exhibit would attract
more attention and awaken more gen.
uine interest. There would be prac-
teal exemplifcation in the log cabin
and in the Woman's Building of the
Tennessee woman of 1896 and the Ten
nessee woman of 1896.

NOW A TOBACCO POUCH.
The SKIN of a Famous Sea Robbers
Heart.


The SKIN of a Famous Sea Robbers
Heart.
If any one had dared prophesy t.
Gibbsf the pirate, whose name struck
terror to every seafarer's soul seventy
years ago, that after his death the sack
in which beat his brutal heart would be
tanned and made into tobacco pouch
Gibbs would probably first have laughed
at him for a mailman, and then, with
ready knife or pistol, would have ST.
fenced him forever, as he had many an
her.
Yet, strange as it may seem, the peri
cardium of this last and bloodiest of
modern pirates hangs today in the old
Ferris house, not far from Miamus,
Conn.,, where New York Journal re-
porter found it and heard it's curious
story
When Gibbs was hanged, April %,
1881, on Bedloes island a boat load of
people went down from Stamford to see
the execution. Illness prevented Grand
father Ferris from making one of the
party and he was bitterly disappointed.
AS his friends departed he is said to
have called after them: "Bring me
back the hell hounds heart, so long as /
can't 90 myself to see the devil get him.
Don't forget now; it's his heart want"
"All right" came the answering voices,
'wo'll try to get it for you"
There was physician in the party,
and, after the life was strangled out of
the pirates huge body, and he was Civ
en- over to the doctors for dissection,
Mr.. Ferris medical friend appropriated
the heart of the dead sea r3bber. Its
unusual size made him decide to keep it
himself, and then it occurred to him
that its pericardium-the sack in which
it hangs-would better serve Grand
father Ferris as memento, and he gave
it to him.
Mr.. Ferris straightway had the heart
covering tanned by the village tanner.
Then it passed into the hands of the har-
ness maker, who very neatly turned
over the edges and ran a chord through
them, making of it tobacco pouch Cf
curious but convenient shape.
Captains Kidd and Morgan, the bucca-
neers, are more familiar names than
that of Gibbs, but it is doubtful if eth
er of these sped more souls into the dark
hereafter than did Gibbs, who sixty
years ago was called the ss"ocean

AN IMPRESSIVE SCENE
At the Baptist Church. Baptism of DIR. #.

At the Baptist Church. Baptism of Dr. r.
w. Tyler.
From the Albany Herald.
That was peculiarly solemn and i'm
pressive scene at the Baptist church on
Sunday night, when, after most ell
quent and stirring sermon by Rev. j. j.
Bennett, the ordinance of baptism was
administered to Rev. DR., F. W. Tyler by
the Rev. G. Tom West. After making a
statement in justification of his position
on religious matters DR.. Tyler read the
following beautiful poem:
AS DER the dark an restless sea
The good ship rides triumphantly,
Her pilot guided by the star
That sheds its radiance from afar,
SO Jesus, Savior, Thou shall be
A pilot and star to me.
AS up the craggy mountains side
The weary pilgrim and his guide
Press on, till at the mountains crest
They shelter find and welcome rest,
So Jesus, Savior, Thou must be
A guide and shelter both to me.
AS in the night the helpless child
Is lost amid the tempest wild,
And brave hearts venture in the
storm
And strong arms shield the babe
from harm,
So Jesus, Savior, Thou hast braved
The tempest, and my soul hast
saved.
Oh, Savior, Christ, Thy sympathy
Is dearer far than life to me
Thy matchless love no tongue can
tell,
IT'S high as heaven; tbs deep as hell,
oh, Jesus, Savior, Brother, Friend
Keep Thou my heart till life shall
end.
My heart in blessed bondage hold,
Bind me to Thee with chains of gold,
Captive of love, here on Thy breast
find such perfect, perfect rest,
Touch Thou my lips that | may tell
Thy love, immense, unsearchable.
When the poem was finished baptism
was administered and the doctor was
ormally received into the Baptist
church.
During the entire ceremony the inter
st was intense and the congregation
vas much impressed with the solemnity

masses of the voters get q blow at a

the ground of straightforward devotion

A PETTY CRIME.

1t was a very petty crime that was
contaminated by the assembly last
night in voting to confirm the appoint
ments to the police force made by
Mayor Doran in direct violation of the
city charter. 1t would have been
thought hardly possible that these men
should so hold themselves up to the
public view as deliberate law-break-
ers. for no worthier purpose than to
pay a few political debts by the use
of the public funds. Yet they were not
unwilling to stoop to this infamy, and
a majority of them violated every OBJ
legation of Office and every sense Of
public propriety with an ease and in
difference which shows a curious con-
dition of public morals. The case is
not one for argument, any more than
it would be If the assembly were to
vote to make a present Of the market
house to some private individual, or to
issue permits to favored persons to
break all the laws if they wished to
and still enjoy immunity from arrest
The only question remaining is the old
and impudent one conveyed by the at
tftude of the present city government:
What are you going to do about it %

a great deal of interest the course pur-
sued by Controller McCardy when the

charter in the past, and has held up
every claim about which there could
be doubt and some as to which there
was none. It will not be possible for
him to pass this fragrant notification
Of the charter without condemning his
whole past; or to veto 1t without caus-
ing q GOODNESS between friends. There
