A Georgia Election Story.

One election story is that an
itinerant Georgia preacher, who
had one horse and a large fam
lily, was so confident of Bryan's
election that he said to one of
the members of his congrega-
ton:
Il don't bet. an | amt a-goin
ter bet; but if anybody would
jest make believe that they
wagered a hoss agin that cree
tur o. mine-that Bryan won't be
elected, an then keep their
counsel erbout it, it would be
all right with me, an I'd jest
consider-between me and him
that my hoss wuz stakes agin
his"
All right, brother" said the
member, 'we'll jest look at il
in that light, an if McKinley's
elected I'll have two hosses an
you none"
1t was "a 60" and the fol-
lowing Sunday the congregation
was amazed to see the preacher
tramping to town, where he ar.
rived, way-worn and mud-be-
spattered, and straightway be-
gan preaching against the evils
of betting.
Yes" he cried, there are
men in this here congregation
so lost ter right an jestice that
they would bet ag'in the one
hoss of a poor man, take il
from him, and make him walk
ter glory fer the balance of hi:
days! If such a man is in th'
hearin' o. my voice today, le
him tremble! He can't take
that election hoss to heayeI
with him. If he could ride i
into the pearly gates the Ange
| Gabriel would holler Whoa!
an while the tremblin' wretcl
dismounted, he would hear thes'
words, like the knell o. doom
'Whar did you get that hossf
After the sermon and the I'm
ediction someone took the par
son by the arm and led him int
the grove and handed him I

connected with it,, and said:

TOUGH ON INTRUDERs.
Dawes Commission fIaS Admitted Three
Out Of $50 Go cItizenshIp-watta
and FiEs Band Noe On It.

Vinita, /. IT,, Nov. 1S.-Out
of total of over 500 cases fled,
the Dawes commission has ex-
amined and reported on about
360 and have admitted but three
to Cherokee citizenship. This
is q great surprise, not only to
claimants, but to the Cherokees
and other tribes as well. Watts,
the intruder king, has called
a meeting of the Citizenship
Association. and advised all
claimants who had good cases
to appeal to the United States
court ard from there to the su-
.preme court if necessary.
So well pleased are the In
dians with the findings of the
commission that it now seems
likely an agreement will be
reached touching the opening
of the country and the dissolu-
ton of tribal government. The
commission express themselves
as much pleased at turn nego-
tiations have taken, and indulge
the hope that the Indian qucs-
ton will soon be settled salts
factorilv to all concerned.

GOING TO LECTURE.


Lincoln, Neb., Nov. 16.-It
has been definitely arranged
that w. J. Bryan is to take the
lecture platform, and his first
address will be delivered at At
lanta, Ga, early in December.
His route as far as it has been
arranged, will be, after leaving
Atlanta, TO Jacksonville, Sa-
vannah, Charleston, Augusta,
Birmingham and New Orleans.
After leaving the latter city,
Mr.. Bryan will go through
Texas, then on to California and
Oregon, and will not reach the
cities of the east before the lat
ter part of February.
The man behind the enter
prise is V. b. McBee of Nor
folk, Va, the superintendent of
the Seaboard Air Line. On
election night Mr.. McBee, who
had been a hard worker for the
Bryan ticket, wired to this city
offering Mr.. Bryan n very large
amount for a series of lectures
in case the election should turn
against him.
No attention was paid to the
matter at that time by Mr.. Bry-
an, but after the defeat of the
democratic ticket had been for
mally acknowledged by the
democratic leaders, Mr.. McBee
once more renewed his offers.
negotiations were begun and
the result has been that Mr..
Bryan has signed contracts for
a series of lectures under the
management of Alex. Com
stock, who is the representative
and associate of Mr.. McBee in
the enterprise.
The terms of the agreement
from a financial standpoint
have not been made public, but
it is reliably understood that
the remuneration which Mr..
Bryan is to receive will exceed
the salary he would have re-
ceived as president ofthe United
States in the event of his cleo
ton to that Office.
Arrangements are already
under way to have the delivery
of Mr.. Bryan's first lecture in
Atlanta made the occasion Of a
great demonstration, which will
be in the nature of a monster
reception. The lectures to be-
delivered by Mr.. Bryan will be-
non-partisan in character, and
will for the most part be upon
governmental and social topics
as it is expressly stipulated thai
in the contract the tour shall
have no political aspect or col

VlCTORIA'S WEDDING CAKE.

~ ERMANS are puzzled considerably by
VI the wedCiD sAcakeS Which Queen Vic
toria sends TO royal couples that are
marriedin German palaces. The cakes seem
TO be ordinary fruit cakes, of the same gen
erdi composition as the ones seen a most
English and American weddings, but their
appearance are matters Of Gncommon in ter
est to the EDITORS OF German Journals, as
well as the people at large.
To the recent wedtlingin COburg the queen
seut cake which the editor OF tire GotiIa
Gazette studied deeply, in order that he
might euIighten the anxious readers OF his
newspaper. He found that its diameter at
the base was three feet four inches and at
the top three feet. Its height was three
feet six inches. II weighed 125 pounds, or
twenty-five less than the cake her majesty
sent to the wedding OF the Princess Marie
OF Ediuburg several years ago. The editor
explains that the density Of the cake wes
remarkable, so remarkable, in fact, that
knife could not prevail against it, and a
Sa W must be used to divide off The sections
distributed among the guests
The cake had teen iced heavily in Eng
land, but its journey by sea and land from
London to Coburg shook IL Up Sc thoroughly
that most OF the icing WIS in fragments at
the end Of the trip and the cake was sent
to CobuTg confcctioner for repairs. Pc
fore the cake was sawed up il was dis
played. with its top piece OF artificial
orange blossoms, among the presents of the

pIucky Miss Robinson to Argue
Before The Supreme Court.
SAYS SHE is AN BLECToR
Mckinley Did Not Think So and De-
clined to Make Her u Notary Pub
lic-She Has Appealed ON u Writ
of Error and VIII Fight the Case
Herself

There is only woman la awyer in the great
progressive State of Ohio and she is now
in Washington To argue before the Unit ed
States Supreme Court in her uwu behalf
the question as to what is au elector. The
name of the lady is Nellie G. Robinson,
who was born at Cameltou, Ind, studied
law and removed to Cincinnati seven years
ago where she bas practiced law for
three years Portia has not come to argue
the case of Antonio.
Miss Robinson contends, not withstanding
the opinion of William Mckinley, that she
is an elector according 10 the laws of the
United States and of the State OF Ohio: that
she is an elector and is duly qualified to
I hold the office Of notary public.
Believing this she applied to Mckinley
for a commission as notary in 1895 Nc
Kinley refused to grant the commission
on the ground that the State la " says that
only electors can be notares. He, how
ever, advised tie plaintiff to resort to the
supreme court OF Ohio for writ of man
damus to compel him TO issue the COM
mission
Miss Robinson, who would have done
this without advice, vent before the State
supreme court and argued her case, but the
court was obstinate and dismissed the
proceedings. She then appealed to the
Supreme Court of the United States aud
the appeal will come up soon before Justice
Harlan, whose circuit includes Ohio
INSISTS SHE IS AN ELECTOR.
Miss Robinson holds that she is an
''elector" under the law OF her own
State, which ,in 1894, made women electors
for the election of school boards. She is
citizen Of the United States. and further

Preceding the convocation, at 3 p. M. a

maintains her right under the fourteenth
amendment, which prohibits the abridg-
rnent OF the rights of any citizen of the
Cuitcd States. The big point in the case
Will probably be that the State of Ohio
had no right to pass section 10, of its
Revised Statutes which declares that only
electors can be notaries.
The case Will come before the United
States Supreme Court upon petition for
writ OF error, whch raises a constitutional
question. Miss Robinson is not asking for
a hearing on the merits, but for the privi-
ege OF having the defendant brought into
court that the case may be argued.
While Miss Robinson embodies, so TO
speak. new principle, she is nOt posing
as a new woman, and she personifies the
principle very attraCtively. Profession
ally, not 10 mention the chronological rea-
son, she is good, entertaining, fluent
talker and speaker. She has an intelli gent
face, well marked, intellectual features, a
bright eye aud all the hest indications OF
pluck. energy, combaiveneSs. and con-
sequent success.
OLD ADAGE DISPROVED.
There is a legal fiction To the effect
that man" who pleads his own case has
fool for la wyer, but that does not apply
to Miss Robinson by any possible construc-
ton, even of the contradictory revised stat
utory laws OF the State OF Ohio or of the
United States. 10 truth, that wise cross
cut saw of the legal profession applies
only 10 men.
Mckinley is quite in favor OF a settlement
OF the question aud told Miss Robinson
recently at Columbus that the deprivation
ofthe right was grossinjustice He hoped
that the law would be declared unconsti-
tutional. He said, however, nothing on
the pending single or double standard con-
troversy.
1t would appear that the legal profession
ought to take considerable interest in the
case, as it is well known that the
notarial attachment TO the doctor of law
suits is quite as necessary as is the knows
edge of drugs to the pill-mixer. who also
acts as a practitioner.
Red seals, red tape, ct cetera, are as
necessary in legal cases in woman office
for the life or death of q case in court as
are the hieroglyphics on pill boxes aud pre-
scription envelopes to the death of great
many patients.

CLEANING GILT FRAMES.

TOR cleaning gilt mirror frames the fol
lowing is i good recipe: Boil some
onions, barely covered with water,
till quite soft; pour off the water and wash
the frames with it; then cover them with
newspaper to keep the dust from them
until they are quite dry. This makes them
bright and clean, and is most inexpensive
process. After having cleaned the frames
the mirrors themselves will want attention.
To remove fly marks, put some ball blue on
slightly damp cloth and rub the glass
hard. This will efface the stain and brighten
the glass. Itcan afterward be polished with
newspaper. The ugly marks which appear
on dilapidated looking glasses mean that the
silvering at the back has worn off in
places. To renew this take half an ounce
OF tin, three ounces of bismuth and half an
ounce of lead, melt them together and when
slightly cool add three ounces of mercury.
With hare's foot paint the back Of the
glass with this mixture.
