AS TO EARLY RISING.
1t Means Great Deal If Practiced
for Years.
From the New York Ledger.

From the New York Ledger.
It was once laid down by a celebrated
writer and historian that the difference
between rising at and in the morning
for the space Of forty years, supposing
a man to go to bed at the same hour ev-
cry night, is nearly equivalent to the adj
dition of ten years to the life. This con-
sideration should be sufficient to induce
those who have not hitherto practiced this
habit to commence to do so, more espec-
tally the people who are always complain
ing that life is not long enough for them
to transact all the work they have to
perform.
There is much foundation for their COM
plant If they persist in wasting so many
valuable hours of the day in bed. The
advantages and benefits of early rising
cannot be oyerestimated; in the cary
hours of the morning the brain is clearer
and more ready for work. and after a
nights sleep we should be ready to attack
the work Of the day.

DRIVEN TO SUICIDE.
Weyler Forced a Spanish
Lieutenant to Take His
Own Life.

Key West, Fla. Aug. 10
Captain General Weyler and
Gen. Ochando were the prin-
cipals in a sensational affair
which occurred shortly before
the latter sailed for Spain. The
death of Gen. Ochando's
nephew, who was a lieutenant
in the Spanish army, was the
cause of the trouble. There
were ugly rumors in circuIa
ton rejecting on the heutel ;
ant who was accused of con
Quoting a reasonable cores
pohdence with Maxine Gomez
the insurgent chief. When
Weyler heard of the tumors
he summoned the young man
to the palace and questioned
him. Weyler was apparently
satisfied of TIE Young mans
guilt and told him that if he
did not commit suicide in
twenty-four hours he would be
courtmartialed and shot.
The lieutenant left the pal
ace, went to his room and six
hours was a corpse, having
shot himself through the heart.
The affair was hushed up and
the Spanish official report
said the young man died e
yellow fever.
Shortly afterwards General
Ochando arrived in Havana
and learned the story of his
nephew's death. He was
greatly enraged. He imme-
diately went to the palace to
call Weyler to account. The
of the generals was
most sensational. Ochando
denounced Weyley in the bit
terest terms, alleging that the
lieutenant was guiltless and
had been driven to his death.
Ochando termed Weyler a
and butcher and
challenged him to a duel. The
men drew swords and would
have fought in the palace bit
for the interference of other
officials.
Two days later General
Ochando sailed for Spain. He
is greatly enraged and says he
will make the affair public
when he reaches Spain and de-
mand Weyler's recall. :

FORT WORTH
CONVENTION.
Second Judicial District Con
ventioh Attracting Interest.

Fort Worth, Texas, August
16.-As yet but the advance
guard of the delegates who will
attend the democratic State
convention here on Tuesday
have arrived, most of them
being from the west and the
Panhandle.
The Second judicial district
convention to nominate a JUS
tice of the court of civil appeals
will be held tomorrow and is
just now attracting more in
terest than the big State con
vention. Judge Hunter, the
present incumbent, is a candi-
date for reelection, and is be-
ing opposed by Judge Wallace
of Amarillo. Browning, Plem-
mons and others are here work
ing for Wallace. Joe Bailey
got in today and began work
ing for Wallace, just to spite
the Tarrant county crowd, it is
said. He had an idea that the
Fort Worth contingent had an
intention of sighting him in
not in the first instance inviting
him to speak at the Bryan
ratification tomorrow might, but
that was all explained away
tonight, and the gentleman
from Cooke is in a peaceful
mood and will go TO Bowie to
morrow to make a speech.
There is some talk OF an at
tempt being made to change
the basis of representa- ion in
this judicial convention and Of
making it the same as was
adopted at the late Thirteenth
district congressional conven
sion, but it is understood that
Judge Hunter discountenqnces
the proposition. In any event,
the race will be close, the prob
ability being that the majority
either way will not exceed five
votes. The Hunter men claim
all the Texas and Pacific coun
try west of Weatherford, but
there are indications that they
may slip up on it.

In its regular correspondence
from Montgomery the News
Whites the people of Alabama
without attempt at proof, and
charges systematic election
frauds without any pretense of

is specimen of the logic by
which this correspondent con.
vinces himself that all South

with fraud:
If electious in Alabama and

There are two good reasons
why the Democrats of Alabama
and of Texas have always
fought, and always will fight,
Federal supervision of their
elections. One is that such
supervision by the central gov
eminent is unamerican and
snbversive of the American
system of representative gov
eminent. The other is that the
Federal supervision given to
Southern elections under the
old law was intrusted mainly

That the News charges
against the people of Alabama

proven by the sudden collapse
of the Populist- Republican at.
t.mpt to discredit the Alabama

ta;ion of the Populists, Gen.

Alabama shortly before the

he might have in behalf of fair
