This was sworn to before Lee II. Craig,
notary public.
Attorney Herman gently suggested to
DR.. ford that the court would like to
have an explanation of the charges In the
bill, and Judge Coffey confessed to some
slight curiosity on the subject.
Mr.. Van Reynegom drew attention to
the fact that DR.. Ford's bill for attending
J, E. Taber, d ceased, formerly husband
of Caroline Taber, deceased, from June 90
to July was $770. The claim was allowed
for $40 by the Administrative. In Mr..
Van Reynegom's opinion all services rem
dered TO Mrs. Taber prior to her husbands
death should be charged to her husbands
estate, and only the services rendered
after J.. E. Tabers death should be
charged to the estate of Caroline Taber.
He said that according TO DR.. Ford's bills
in the two separate estates. Caroline
Taber died one day later than ]. E. Taber,
her husband. He asked 10 have the ac-
count remodeled in that regard, and re-
served any objection to the items nntii
that should be done.
"Then both Mr.. Taber and his wife were
sick at the same time and were treated
simultaneously by -you?" asked Judge
Coffey, who evinced desire to under
stand the basis of the charges before the
bills we're reconstructed.
"Both sick at the same time and both
treated at the same time." replied DR..
Ford.
"Both in the same housep"
"Yes; both IN the same bed"
"The same bed 2"
Yes"
well we'll" said the Judge in astonish-
ment, but the probate record discloses the
fact that they didn't get we'll.
Returning to the attack Judge Coffey
said: II see you have charged at the tate
OF $40 an hour for attendance on Caroline
Taoer. Did you charge $50 an hour for
attendance simultaneously on j. Z.
Taber?'
ssOf course" replied DR.. Ford cheerfuIly.
"But doesn't 1t make difference when
you are treating TWO persons like that at
the same timer
"Certainly not" loftily.
"How do you explain that?" inquired
the Judge in his most insinuating tones.
Both were sick at the same time and
both had 10 be treated at the same time,"
slowly explained the witness, as If to
allow his words to penetrate the judicial
brain.
"Then you charged double, or at the
rate of $40 an hourT'' persisted Judge
Coffey.
.sro be sure" somewhat CURLY replied
DR.. Ford. He appeared bored to learn
that anybody should think it necessary to
ask SO many questions regarding trivial
matter.
II lind one item of $1100 which includes
eight consultations and, as you say, fifty
five hours continuous attendance. Now
do you mean for the court to understand
that you were actually in attendance fifty
five consecutive hours?" was Judge Cof-
fey's next suggestion.
YES"
eAnd you didn't sleep anyNduring that
timer
~ don't think slept more than an hour
or two
'sWell, if you slept two hours that will
admit of some reduction in that report"
ut wasn't over one hour that slept"
.'Even one hour will make some differ
ence," was the courts pitiless remark.
MIR. Van Reynegom next tried his hand
at pruning the bill. He suggested that in
the charges for consultation with other
physicians Dr.. Ford's charge would in

Free Coinage EsseHtial.

The Hon. Josiah Patterson in the
house on Feb. Z, 1896, in speech in ia
vor of the gold standard. that is free
gold only and against genuine bimetal-
lism, that is free silver and free gold,
undertook deliberately to define ''stan-
dard money" Here is what he said:
In the discussion of this question it
is important for us to get at the root of
the matter. In my judgment, the main
thing is to arrive at proper compre-
hension of what is meant by the term
standard money. What is standard
money, Mr.. Chairman / define it to
be money coined out of substance the
commercial value of which is exactly
equal to the purchasing power of the
money after it is coined. 1t will be
seen that free and unlimited coinage is
necessarily the essential feature OF
standard money.
Though necessarily the Essential
feature" of standard money, yet the
"free and unlimited coinage" Of the
412 1-9 grain silver, or 'daddy, dollar
was stopped by the coinage act of Feb
ruary IL, 1873. Hence, according to
Col. Patterson's contention, none Of
these dollars coined since that day is
standard money.

best stumpers in the country, and if he
had good cause is the equal of any
man in the state but he made race
for governor in 1888 on a platform de-
nouncing the democratic party, both
state and national, for its alleged at
tempts to demonetize silver. The Judge
is like all of the republican spell-bind-
ers this year-he did not care to have
any political excavations made in his
record in the presence of his enthusi-
astic admirers. So he had to content
himself by saying that he did not pro-
pose to be set up here as "target to
be shot at by a spat gum" This was
the profound logic that able statesman
and jurist belched forth as reasons why
he would not meet Mr.. Bible. He we'll
knew, however, that Bible was in his
class and his equal socially, politically
and Intellectually and far his superior
when backed by the cause of the people.
Judge Hawkins made lots of demo-
cratic friends when he made his race
for governor buthas lost them all by his
cheap demogygy and partisan rot.
There was nothing in his speech above
what any republican in this town could
have said, but every utterance was Wild
ly cheered just to show the crowd on
the square that the opera house speaker
was making powerful speech.
On the other hand Mr.. Bible made a
sensible speech, full of unanswerable
argument. He did not like to speak
because Judge Hawkins refused to
meet him, as it would look as if he was
in the Judges way here, but the crowd
which had come to hear joint debate
would not let the eloquent speaker off.
He gave them their moneys worth and
was heartily cheered all the way
through.

formed plans for Merchants and Man
ufacturers Free Street Fair and Trade
Carnival. 1t will be held in that city
on Wednesday, Tuesday and Friday,
October 21st, 22nd and 23rd, and it will

which time the Emperor will reign and
will crown the Empress. There will
also be an illuminated bicycle parade
while sports of all kinds will be in
progress along the various streets of
the city during the afternoons. All
public and private buildings and bust
ness houses will be gaily decorated and
the city will be dressed in holiday at
tire.
An attractive feature of the fair will
be the offering of cash prize to out of
town bands, which it is expected will
bring number of bands to Knoxville
to compete for the prize.
In connection with the fair, there
will be buildings set apart for the exhi-
bition of manufactured articles, agri-

interest, woman's work, machinery and
