CLEARLY A sLANnrR.

Telegraphic advices from Washington
purport TO give the details OF bellig-
gerent personal encounter Wednesday
night between Senator Pugh, Of Ala
bamn, and Don NJ. Dickinson, OF Mich
igan. According TO the dispatches
Senator puRh, after dining with Mr..
Dickinson at Chamerlain's famous
cafe, became involved In a wordy war
fare with the Michigan man and threw
a deck OF cards at him, striking him
In the face. A clinch followed. No
one was hurt
This is the story. IL sounds very
ashy We have no hesitancy In say
ing that we discredit u entirely. Ma.
ture has provided MIR Dickinson with
flowing pair Of the most luNuriant
maxillary lambrequins that ever
wooed breeze. Those whiskers
invite to conquest. aud we feel sure
that Senator Pugh would not have re.
sisted the impulse To weave his bellig.
er0nt fingers into them at the first
sign of open hostilities. That he did
not do so we regard as proof positive
that the yarn Is sentirely false.
