KNOXVILLE's GOOD LUCK.

She Wins Heavy Suit From the Knox
vile, Cumberland Gap and Louisville.
Knoxville, Tenn, Nov 14.--The city of
Knoxville today won a suit for $225, 900, in
the supreme court of Tennessee. Eight
years ago the city voted the amount in
bonds to the Knoxville, Cumberland Gap
and Louisville railroad for a similar
amount in common stock. When the road
was completed the city refused to issue
bonds on the grounds that the railroad
had not fulfilled its contract. The road
brought suit, and won, in every court to
the supreme court, where it was decided
that the road had fulfilled its contract
but the case was referred to the clerk and
master to ascertain if the road could issue
the original stock. His report was in
favor of the railroad, but the court of
chancery appeals decided that the rail-
road could not issue the stock and the
supreme court affirmed the decision. The
attorneys fees in the case amounted to
over $4,000. .aeso.9 s.5,s.s

THE HERBART CLUB.

The lecture of DIR. e. p. Riggs last night
before the Herbart club was an extremely
interesting and instructive one. The
logical subjects and hence was especial
ly interested in the explanation of the
nervous system as the physical basis for
mental activity. The doctor is thorough
ly conversant with his subject and by
the aid of charts and blackboard was
able to make a very difficult subject
clearly ineligible and thoroughly inter-
esting to his hearers. At the conclu-
sion of the lecture the members of the
club piled the speaker with questions for
nearly an hour, all of which were read
lily and satisfactorily answered. A vote
of thanks was rendered the doctor for his

Insect Criminals,

Almost every form and variety OF
human crime is common with insects.
Gases OF theft are noticed among bees.
Buchner, in his .'Physic Life OF Ami
mails" speaks Of the thievish bees
which. in order to save themselves
the trouble of working, attack WE'LL
stocked hives in masses, kill the sen.
tinels and the inhabitants. rob the
hives and carry of the provisions.
After repeated enterprises of this
description, they acquire taste for
robbery and violence; they recruit
whole companies, which get more and
more numerous. and finally they form
regular colonies of brigand bees
But it is . still more curious fact
that these brigand bees can be pro-
duced artifcially by giving working
bees o mixture of honey and brandy
to drink. The bees soon take de-
light in this beverage, which has the
same disastrous effect upon them Of
upon men-thoy become ill-disposee
and irritable and lose all desire t.
work, and finally. when they begin t.
feel hungry, they attack ard plunde
the well-sapplied hives.
There is ono variety in bees-th'
Sphecodes-which lives exclusivel,
upon plumber. They may thus b
said to be an example of innate ant
organic criminality among insects, AM
they represent what Professor LON
hroeo calls the born criminals-tha
| il, individuals who are led to crime b,
their own organic constitution.

A Mystery Explained.

The following is said to be the cor
rect version Of tho manner in which
tho late Shah made the acquaintance
of the boy companion whose presence
n England excited so much interest:
Some years ago his Maj esty was out
in the mountains lion hunting, when,
in the evening, a terrific thunderstorm
came on, with the result that he had
to seek shelter in the first house or
hut to which he came. This happened
to be the humble abode OF a shepherd,
who had but one child-a boy.
During the night, the Shah heard
the child cry, and, feeling uneasy, his
Majesty left his room aud visited the
child. Scarcely, howcvsr, had he lett
his apartments when the roof gave
way and fell upon the bed upon which
he had just been lying. Had the Shah
been there he would have inevitably
been killed. He was much startled,
aud attributed his deliverance from .
violent death to the boy, stating that
the child must have been inspired ny
Mohammed. The following morning
the Shah directed that both the boy
and his father should thcnceforwart
remain in personal attendance upor
him.
The boy then became know
throughout Persia as Aziz Sultan, o.
the .Sultan's Darling" The Shal
never went out without the boy
The father was subsequ emily promoted
to high rank in the Persian army, an
accompanied the c1sah in his East Ea
ropcan travels. London News

he did, day after day. At last he got
we'll down to the cape when er blow
came up, and great guns! it wuz er
blow fer certain. It caught us, and
drove up plumb into the Antarctic
circle, with that pirate after us. That
made the Captain mad, and as we
had or cargo of molasses on board, ht
gave the order to uncover the rear
hatch and hoist the barrels on deck.
"Blow me if he didn't breach those
barrels tibet night and empty then

headed for the cape. As We passe

Robert Young and friend were
wheeling HON, when they discovered
a man lying in the road ahead ofthem.
He was bleeding and unconscious and,
SO far as they could JUICE, very seri-
ously injured. They ascertained that
the unconscious man was o fellow
wheelman who had evidently taken q
header from the machine, for bis
bicycle was found near by in ditch.
The nearest point at which medical
a ,sistance could be obtained was four
miles distant and there was no way oil
getting the injured mau there except
by carrying him on one OF the bicy
cles.
Young volunteered to do that aud,
aided by his friend. managed to ge
the injured m,n on his back. He rod
at a fast pace aud reached Bslleville

where the injured man was soon care'

Toward evening the expedition ar

ant of the chasseurs halted them, and
made a speech, couched in slangy
terms such as would please the men,
asking them if they wished to make nm
entry into this town worthy OF the
best marchers in the army.
"Yesl" the chasseurs answered.
So he reformed them in parade order
| and with bugles blowing they marched
into the town, though every man was
half dead, at springing quickstep.
The zouayes, who we're close behind,
saw this with indignation. Their
colonel halted them, too, and made
them a speech in French, which would
translate in English about as follows
"Look at.that, you rascals! Are
you going to take the bluff OF o set Of
gawks like those?"
"Never?" the zouaves screamed.
| So their colonel had the roll sound

have sort Of ''gymnastic drill, IN
which they do great deal of running
