A BAD MAN.

Jackson News.
The State Board of Education Heard
IL very interesting case yesterday in
the Office of State Superintendent
klncannOn. 1t came up before the
board on an appeal from the decision
of the County Superintendent Of Ed.
ucation of Newton county. Complaint
had been made to the County Superin-
tendent, charging c. w. Hoy, a school
teacher of that county, with conduct
looking toward the seduction of a
young beautiful girl of tender years:
who was d pupil in IIoy's school. The
initial trial Of the case brought out
the most damaging and conclusive
proof of Hoy's guilt, which result:
ed In conviction and his license being
revoked and full and complete
denial of his right to longer teach in
a school of that county. Hoy alleged
fraud, and claimed that the prosccu-
tlon was scheme concocted, gener.
atcd and set up to cast cloud over
his character, and stoutly proclaimed
his innocense Of any purpose or in
tention to accomplish the girls ruin.
Relying upon his ability to establish
his innocence, he appealed his case to
the State Board of Education. Both
sides of the question were ably repre-
scnted by counsel and argued at length.
The board, after considering all the
evidence, decided this morning that
Hoy was guilty. The young girl in
question is said to belong to a highly
respected family of the county, and
there is considerable excitement
among the neighbors, who have been
awaiting with much anxiety the de;
cision of the State Board.

IS HILL A PEAN UT POLITICIAN:

In his answer to Senator Tillman S
taunt that Senator Hill has had no
more voice in distributing patronage
in New York than some buotblack in
the street, Senator Hill said:
l do not say that the President or
the administration in all respects
have treated my distinguished col
league or myself as Democratic Sena-
tors possibly ought to have been
treated, but | make no public com
plaint of it. | care nothing about it,.
| think possibly that so far as we per-
sonally are concerned it is better that
we have not to do with the matter Of
patronage. | care nothing about it.
II all there is Of Democracy is the
distribution OF petty patronage that
falls from the administration, then
sir, | care nothing about being a DEM
ocrat. We kept up the Democratic
party in New York during the whole
four years of Mr.. Harrisons admins
tration, and we had nothing whatever
Of patronage. In the previous ad-
ministration of Mr.. Cleveland we
kept up the Democratic party during
our State administration with little or
no aid. Patronage does not make a
party: it is the curse usually of a
party.

NOMINATING A PRESIDENT.

The following reference to homi-
mating presidential candidates at the
national convention, as taken from
the New York Sun, will be of timely
interest:
Nominations for president are made
in Republican national conventions by
"a majority vote: nominations arc
made in Democratic national cOnten-
tions by a two-third vote. 1t might
seem from this that the success OF It
favored candidate was much easier of
attainment in Republican convena
tion, but the exact opposite of this
has proved to be the case Of recent
years, and is one Of the paradoxes Of
Federal politics. In 1886 there were
seven ballots in the Republican ma:
tl0nal convention, in 1880 there were
four, and in 1888 there were eight.
The Minneapolis convention of 1892
was the first for twenty years in which
there was no serious contest at the
Republican national convention. The
rule at the Democratic conventions,
notwithstanding the twO-thirds rule,
has been one of prompt nomination.
In 1872 the Democrats took one ballot
only. In 1876 the choice was made on
the second ballot. In 1880 the choice
was made on the second ballot. In
1883 there was only one. In 1852 at
Chicago the nomination was made on
the first and only ballot. The expla.
nation of this apparent paradox is
simple. The Republicans have abr0-
gated, the Democrats adhere to the
unit rule in the casting of the votes
Of the States. The majority of tho
delegates from State generally give
its vote sOlidly in a Democratic con.
Ient0n for its favored candidate. In
| Republican convention he gets only
he votes of the delegates who favor
lin. 1t is in this feature in Demo-
ratio conventions which offsets the
lliilcult obstacle of two-thrds vote,

The girls that are wanted are good girls
Good from the heart to the lips.
Pure, as the lily is white and pure
From its heart to It's sweet leaf-tlps
The girls that are wanted are home girls
Girls that are mothers right hand;
That fathers and brothers can trust to,
And the little ones understand.
Girls that are fair on the hearthstone,
And pleasant when nobody sees,
Kind and sweet to her own folks,
Ready and anxious to please.
The girls that are wanted are wise girls,
That know what to do and say;
That drive with smile aud soft word
The wrath Of the household away
The girls that are wanted are girls with hearts
They are wanted for mothers and wives;
Wanted to cradle in loving arms

But oh for the wise, loving home girls,
There's constant and steady demand.

j. A. Mckee, Pennsylvania We te-
ran, tells IL good story of his recent
visit to Washington with the "irst
defenders" Thirty-hye years ago, he
says, as his command was marching
through Baltimore, he gave a by.
stander a dollar to buy pint of
whiskey. Before the man came back
he was ordered to move and supposed
that his dollar was gone for good.
The other day, as the remnant of the
same command got off the cars at
Baltimore, person stepped out Of
the crowd and asked if n little mar
was there who had once given him a
dollar to buy u pint of whiskey. Nc.
Kee replied that he was the man, and
the other said: swell, here's your
whiskey; it ought to be pretty good,
for I've kept it for you thirty-flvc
years."

WANDERING OF A NEEDLE.

Edward A. Cummings is 81 year
old, healthy and robust, and by occt
patton Il stationery engineer in Lyons
Wayne county. On the morning 0
June 18th last Mr.. Cummings over

found that he had but a few moments
in which to get to work. TO max,
matters worse, the rear collar buttor
on his shirt was gone. He looked
around and cspicd a sewing needle

sewing on a button a few days pre-
vious. With this eycless needle The
shirt ends were pinned together, the
needle doing duty as Il button. The
needle stayed in position all right un-
til evening without any discomfort to
Mr.. Cummings.
In the evening, as he was about to
90 to bed, Mr.. Cummings reached be-
hind his head to remove the needle
ana was surprised to find that it was
gone. Two days later Mr.. Cummings
began to feel eXcruciating pains in the
right shoulder and down the right
side. These pains were so severe that
on July 18th he was obliged to quit
work and consulted DR. Myron E. Car
mer, who, thinking that rheumatism
was to blame, prescribed linimcnts
and mustard plastcrs, both OF which
were used with good effects. and at
the end of week Mr.. Cummings went
to work again.
Then the pains began bothcring him
again. and seemed to keep moving
down the right side, lower each day.

Cummings was able to keep his posi-
