- The palace of the sultan of Zanzi-

British fleet last Thursday. Zanzibar
is an island on the east coast of Africa,
about 300 miles south of the equator.
1t has been under British control for
a great many years. Last Wednesday
the sultan, Hamed Bin Thwain Bin
Said, died suddenly and a chieftan
named Said Khalid proclaimed him
self sultan and fortified himself in the
palace. Within a few hours afterward,
q fleet of British vessels appeared in

that he would die first. Promptly at
9 O'Clock the warships commenced

building; but within Is minutes it
was literally riddled. Every shot and
shell fired by the warships was direct

holes were knocked in the sides and

The Unpublished Tlllman.

When it was learned that the legis-
lature of South Carolina had elected
Ben Tillman to the United States Sen
ate, that body was afflicted with a sen.
sation of disgust. 1t was clearly an
act of indecency on the part of South
Carolina to place one of her small, I'M
polished farmers in that august as
semblage, sacred, with some notable
exceptions, to the Trust Barons. the
Oil Kings, and the Money Lords OF this
country. When it was announced that
he would address the Senate, its aris-
tocratic members who represent the
upper walks of American life prepared
to endure the infiiction in q becoming
spirit of Christian resignation. Sena-
tor Sherman felt that at his time of
life he could not afford to have his Sc
renity disturbed and his sense of pro-
priety shocked by the coming exhibit
ton, and staid in his room, calmly
contemplating his long and successful
service to the house of Rothschild, and
to rejoice that his labor had been so
we'll rewarded.
When Senator Tillman suggested
that speeches in the Senate were made
merely for effect, and not intended to
affect legislation. every one felt that
what he said was true, and the repre-
sentatives of Plutocracy felt sure that
his remarks were coarse. When he
pointed out that the only relief sug-

The Jackson Cash-Book has no un-
certain commentator for Senator Till
mans celebrated utterances in The
Senate:
What do we think of Tillman's
speech?
We believe it is the best thing that
has happened in the United States Sen
ate for generation. And we regard
the advent of this PLAIN, blunt mar
from South Carolina into the Senate as
a godsend to the country. We have
needed just such men as Tillman, and
just such speeches as he made the 9th
er day, in Congress for a. long time.
We wouldn't care if there were more
Tillmans in the Senate, and If the
country could hear of more speeches
like his being delivered in the halls OF
Congress. The animals who have
been dancing at the dictates of their
masters in Congress ever since the war
have long needed TIllman to stir
them up and throw the calcium light
of truth on their antics.
When Tillman referred to Cleveland
as ga besotted tyrant" ana to Carlisle
as the Judas of the South" has Ian
guage was plain and the charge was
grave. But if it was not true it was
SO very near it that we believe the
majority of the people of the country
are willing to let it pass current.
What do we think of Tillman's
speech? We only wish the Cash Book
was big enough and able to publish in
its columns just such speech as that
every week for the next twelve months.

In Fond Remembrance of Mrs.
Hartman.

We miss thee, Oh, we miss thee,
And our weeping is in vain!
Thou hast crossed the dark sea,
Gone beyond the reach of pain!
And the sunshine thou has lent
With the fond hope now is bent,
That beyond the dim tomorrow,
Way beyond the reach of sorrow,
We will hear what thou hast heard,
Clinging to the Saviour's breast
ooh it is blessed word y
center loved one, to thy rest"
For thou vast child of God,
Answering ever to His will,
And tho thy form rests beneath the sod,
We love thy lessons still.
We cannot long to live always
An earthly life, but in hopes of brighter
days,
Beyond the sound of strife,
Well meet thee there, our precious friend,
When peace and joy and love can never
end!
Well see again thy smiling face,
And hear thy voice which is now stilled.
Here none can take thy vacant place,
By none can it be filled.
We will pray for those of thy request,
That God may bring them to sweet rest,
And unison with His will divine,
That their lives may be like thine.
Jan. 20, 1896. A FRIEND.

Once gentleman went in to buy
some iron. There was no one near
the entrance, and, after working his
way back into the impenetrable dark
ness some fifty or sixty feet, he heard
some one approaching from the rear.
He waited a moment, and as the sound
drew nearer the lank form of the
Judge appeared and a stentorian voice
demanded, ..Well, sir, what do you
want?" WELL" returned the gentle
man, Il hardly know"
..Well, come back again when you
find o1tm retorted the Judge, as his
form disappeared in the darkness.
Nothing occurred to mar the sereni-
ty or the monotopy of the old mans
life, until one day his house caught
fire. Willing hands turned to, and
soon the streets and allies were lined
with the most antiquated lot of stuff
that was ever taken from d burning
building. There were shoes, boxes
from which the cheese had long since
been devoured by the worms, and hams
of which nothing remained but the
bone and canvas. Among other things
was an empty coal oil barrel marked,
''B. c." on the head in large letters.
A wag remarked that from the gener-
al appearance of the rescued property
that the ..B. c." on the coal oil barrel
meant before Christ!
The fire originated in the rear of the
building. and by the prompt action of
the iremen it was confined to that por-
ton of the building. The old store
was soon repaired. and if, Judge Will
bur is still living I'll warrant that No

Noah's Ark, or Judge Wilbur Of
Posey Co.

Posey county, Indiana, like Pike
county, Missouri, is famous the world
over. And one of old Posey's most IA
nous characters was Judge Wilbur,
who kept hardware and grocery
house. The stock consisted of every
conceivable article, from steamboat
anchor down to the smallest article in
the hardware line. The writer knew
the place and its owner during the
Sos, and at that time it was vouched
by old residents that large part of
his stock had been on hand since the
war. The place had such forbidding
aspect that the writer never entered
it, but from the door as far back as the
eye could reach into the impenetrable
gloom, was pile of all manner of ar
ticles about eight feet wide and round
ed up to about three feet high in the
center. am satisfied that there were
car loads of stuff in that pile that had
not seen the light for years.
Wilbur's place was dubbed Noah's
Ark, and the name was so well applied
that strangers sometimes called it by
that name at first sight.
Once a drummer was passing the
place in company with a citizen OF the
town, when the drummer, who was a
stranger there, remarked, as he look
ed into the old hardware store. ''Well.
by love! this must be Noah's Ark"
The venerable owner stood in the
door-a long, lank, lean old man, and
the reply he made will serve as a key
to his disposition.
Eyes. sir" he said to the drummer,
