Brunswick. Ga. March 6.-Information
concerning the death of LeGrande W.

by large cOncOurse of people. has caused
a wave OF the most intense Indignation 10
sweep over all Brunswick against a ply
sician Of Berne. Tex. where Cherry died,
and who attended him in his last illness.
This indignation is due to the apparent
holding of Cherry's remains to get money
from his bereaved relatives. and is based
upon kilograms from the doctor and chan
cellor Commander Shelly of the Knights
of Pythias at San Antonio. Tex. Mr.. Cher
ry died last Tuesday week, and his bro
ther-in-law. Reed S. Lamance. promi-
nent business man here, was Immediately
notified by the doctor. When the news Of
Mr.. Cherry's death came it created wide
spread sorrow. calling for editorial express
sion from the local papers of the most sim
cere and eulogistic kind. With the re-
ceipt of the news Of his death Mr.. La
nance received a request also from the
doctor for $19l, stating that this covered
all the expenses of shipping the body to
Brunswick. Not knowing what such a
large sum was for Mr.. Lamance wired $40
TO pay the express charges and incidental
expenses and ordered the body shipped
at once, stating that he would pay other
charge later wnen the bills were properly
sent in and giving bank references Tor Sc
curity.
The doctor wired the bank to know if
they would cash draft on Lamance, and
the bank wired back that they would on
authority from him as Lamance was good
and would pay his bills. The doctor then
wired Lamance that the undertaken was

bone lodge then wired the chancellor COM
mander of the Knights of Pythlas the
facts and he proceeded to Berne. and ar
ter considerable delay secured the body, IN
the meanwhile returning to San Antonio.
At San Antonio he wired the doctor again
to forward the body for shipment to Bruins
wick, and the doctor wired him that he
washed his hands of the entire matter,
and if he was not satisfied to come and
get it.
Letters from the chancellor commander I

The physicians of Brunswick are secur-
ing all the correspondence, and will pub
lish the doctor in denunciatory resolutions.
Mr. Lamance tonight wrote an attorney
in San Antonio and will prosecute the doc
tor for his actions. Several sums of money

is his mission in life to pose not to talk.
He essays not to shine by the magic of

WORK OF THE HOUSE.
The Legislative, Executive and Ju-
diciaI Bill Passed.

Washington, March CATER seven
days consideration, four of which were
devoted to the fee and salary amend
ment, the House to-day passed the legis-
lative executive and judicial appropria-
ton bill. Before dsposing of the fee and
salary amendment ii was changed so as
to forbid the beginning Of a prosecution
under the internal revenue law upon the
complaint of a private citizen, except
attorney, and further, to forbid the ap-
pointment of any federal court officer, in
Guiding United States commissioners, as
receiver in any case before a federal
court.
Messrs. Bartlett and Quigg made an I'M
successful effort to secure the exemption
of the Southern district of New York
from the operation of that section of the
law which vests in the judges of the dis
trict courts the appointment of the Uni
ted States commissioners, all the present
commissioners being legiSlated out of Of
flee on June 30 next.
Mr.. Bartlett said that the bill was Sc
riously defective in that it failed to make
provision for validating or continuing the
proceedings which will be pending for
the hundreds of commissioners when they
go out of office.
The postofice appropriation bill was
next taken up and discussed until the
hour of recess.
Besides discussing these two bills, the
House passed the House bill requiring

Pussy Helps an Equine Friend.
From the Rochester Herald.


Nunda Feb. 19.-For some time past a
large maltese cat which appeared to be
an outcast has taken up its abode in the
barn of Oscar Wizards premises, which
are rented by James Rogers. Mr.. Rogers
keeps a valuable horse in this barn, and
for several weeks he has noticed this
large cat was on very friendly terms with
the horse. 1t was a common occurrence
when he came TO the barn mornings to
find the cat perched on the horses back
sound asleep.
Yesterday morning Mr. RRogers was
awakened at an early hour by noise on
the outside of the door, and upon opening
il in came the cat It would not eat a
mouthful of anything, and continually
pulled at Mr.. Rogers's trousers and kept
running toward the door. Its strange ac-
tions caused Mr.. Rogers to leave the room
and go to the barn, headed by the faithful
animal. There he found that his horse
had been loose in the barn, and, after do
ing considerable damage to things in gem
eral. had fallen and in some way become
wedged down. 1t was nearly exhausted
by its repeated efforts to- rise After the
horse had been helped to its feet the cat
made one leap and was on the horses
back, purring and acting ia every way as
If satisfied with its noble deed in helping
its strange mate out of its difficulty.

AMERICAN WOMEN.
Described by Mre Hail 'Cnine--Com-
PARSONS with English women.


From the Providence Journal.
Mr.. Hall Game says of his stay in the
United States; Many of my Impressions
of America, by the way, toppled down like
child's house of cards when l found
myself actually in the country and among
the people. A delightful nation to study
is America--fresh and frank and full of
originality. of course, we all know and
have always known, for the last cen
fury, at least, that Americans are clever;
but we can't realize until we go among
them and see them in their homes how
kindly, how young Of heart they are as
individuals"
OF American women in general he deems
'it is only natural they should have be-
come what they are-superior, intellect
ually, or, at any rate, specifically so,
to the men. That is of course, as class.
There are always so many exceptions to
every rule. But the thing has come about
as a consequence of mans putting wo-
man-American man, American woman
on a pedestal and worsipping her. He
has stayed below the pedestal and worked
for her, not having time, If he was the or
binary man of business, to cultivate his
mind and manner while he so worked.
But she has had plenty of time and she
has made the best use of it. In our own
country / consider that the reverse is
the truth The average Englishman is SUI
period to the average English woman in
intelligence and education. That is be-
cause he is likely to think of himself and
of his sons, before he thinks of his wife
and daughters And English women have
conscientiously upheld him in his atti-
tude toward them, until comparatively
lately, at any rate. In America on the
contrary. fancy that women have known
their own value, and set it rather high,
for number OF years. couple of gener~
ations, at least" In personal appearances
Mr. Game finds our women ''prettier, more
attractive more bewitching, than Eng
fish women, but not so regularly, beauti-
full The straight, almost Greek nose. and
the ineffably lovely and naughty upper
lip of the most perfect type of English

HOW SHE BUILT A CHURCH.
A Woman Succeeds Under the Most
DiscOuraEfng Conditions.

From the st. Louis Globe Democrat.
Lexington. Feb. 2k-Mrs. Alethia Hultz.
aged As, who lives at Artimus, Knox Co,
Kentucky has built a church. She is not
a millionaire, nor did she receive donations
from the rich. Every dollar that has been
put into the church in money has been
earned by her own hands.
She has been living in Knox county for
several years, is a devout member Of the
Christian church, and about a year ago
made up her mind to build a church at
Artemus. She didn't have a dollar. She
tried to beg money. The poor miners in
the Jellico region, who had not had a
full DAYS work for months, laughed at
her. The citizens who formerly lived by
supplying necessaries to the miners were
as poor as the men who had dug coal.
They could give nothing. Mrs. Hultz was
not dismayed. She gathered Strawberries,
and carrying them in buckets over the
mountain path three miles to market she
sold them for a low price. The money she
received for them was zealously guarded.
She said IL belonged to the Lord, and that

poor woman, but she bore up bravely under
the misfortune. raised the calf by hand.
and sold il. Again her church fund was
increased by several dollars. She further
increased the fund by raising and selling
vegetables.
Last fall after the miners had been at
work several months again, she made an
other pilgrimage among the people to see
If she could raise any money by subscrip
ton. But they had all been so far behind
and owed the store SO muC0 tnaTt she
again failed. She went over the entire
ground once more. This time she didn't
ask for money. She wanted TO know of
every man she met If ne would give as
much as one, or two, or three, or four days
work on the church Nearly every man
donated labor 1t was all he had to give.
Then she went to see a large lumber
dealer. She told him her story. and told
him how much m5ney she had raised.i He
offered to sell her lumber with which to
build the church at cost. and for every

that the claim of Venezuela that her ter

New York Letter in Philadelphia Times.
Did you ever read a description of Mr.
Depew's laugh? He does not laugh silent
ly, as so many do. He is not afraid TO let
his voice be heard. He listens to the good
story that is being told. and when the
point is reached he throws back his head,
opens wide his spacious mouth and let's
out volley of ha-has that can be heard
over every other noise. The laugh IS
loud and long, hearty and infectious. 1t
is a good. honest laugh The metal rings
true There is nothing counterfeit about
it. Mr.. Depew laughs Just as heartily at
his own stories as he does at the stories
of others. This is a practice condemned
by most people as in poor taste. The
true artist in story telling will, il is ar
gued, look as solemn as an owl when
everybody else is roaring at the Joke That
was the way with the late Bill Nye. But
Mr.. Depew likes to enjoy his own jokes
with those that hear him. He Is not the
only good story teller that does the same
thing. Few people can tell story better
than little Marshall p. wilder. but ne az
ways laughs. and he defends the practice
as proper and in good taste.
