DIR. Theodore Barth. member OF the

Kadioal party of Germany, spent the
months of Septem ber and October in the

came into contact with most Of the lead
ing figures in our political life, and
has freely commented upon them. O1
Speaker Reed, he says:
In point Of character and intelligence
Reed is the most conspiouous man the
Republican party can show: and If in re.
publios it were not more the exception
than the rule that the ablest man should
be nominated for the highest Office, then
Reed, and not Mckinley, would have
borne the banner of HE party in the
present momentous campaign. Reed
makes face-uo-face, too. the impression oil

beardless face, the resolute features of 8
stern man of business. his precise and
laconic form of expression, the logical
compactness of his speech, make the i'm
preston, even upon cursory acquain
tance, that he is political force that
must be taken account Of. Upon nearer
contact his intellectual vigor stands out

A Curious Twin Apple.

Mr.. g. ]. Wyman Of South China,
called at the PRESS office yesterday
with a curiosity IN the shape of a twin
apple, differing from the ordinary twin
apple by being composed of two varieties.
One apple was russell and the Other
was evidently the natural fruit of the
tree before the russett was grated Into
it. Although being of two varieties they
were firmly united together. Mr. Wyman
drove into town with horse which
gloried In five feet. A we'll formed foot

Entertaining in the White House is
ideal IN many respects, as the extras re-
CURED IN the way of service, the flowers
and the musicians, are all easily avail
able and require no concern beyond the
order. The linen closets will supply all
the napery required, Of exquisite uni

china and the full complement of silver,
all without cost to the giver of the feast.
The table ornaments are of sufficient
mum ber to insure at least modest variety.
AS much more space is given to the
plants and flowers in the oonservatories
connected with the house than is en-
joysd by the President and bis family in
the 4 White House, there ssis a good
store of fragrant beauty to draw from
for the decoration OF the table and the

The Inhuman Whitecaps.


WINSTON, Jan. 25.-News is re-
ceived here that whitecaps in Car
rol county, Virginia, near the
North Carolina line, have been
operating in that section. During
the past week they visited the
houses of three different parties.
One was Lacey Worrall, man
suspected of being a revenue in
former. They cowhided him I'M
mercifully and ordered him to
leave the country at once. He is
now in West Virginia and has
sent for his wife and family. An
other victim was VIII Dalton.
He was hung to a limb three times
until almost dead Then after a
severe flogging, was turned loose.
He recognized several parties in
the mob and the chances are that
they will soon be arrested. 1t is
believed the whitecaps are an or
ganized crowd of toughs commit
ting their crimes thinking that the
distillers in the country will be
accused of the same.

A Runaway,

A horse belonging to G. thinner
man, a Houston street saddler,
broke away from its hitching place
on ST. Mary's street this morning
by taking sudden fright, and
smashing the buggy, broke itself
loose and continued down CON-
merce street. In turning into Com
merce street it collided with the
buggy Of Rafael Sanchez, breaking
the shafts of the latter buggy and
throwing Mr.. Sanchez out. The
runaway also fell and rolled over
several times, then found its feet
and continued up the street toward
Main plaza, narrowly missing
Mr.. Ernest Confines in his buggy,
who had only time to turn out OF
the way to escape collision.
Officer Bielstein caught the run
away and later arrested thinner
man for leaving his horse alone.
