WATSON'S SELF SACRIFICE.
HE OFFERS HIMSELF AS A LAMB
ON HIS PARTY'S ALTAR.
The Atlanta Journal Claims to Have Sew

Georgian.

!
The Atlanta Journal prints an article
asserted to be based upon reliable tnfor-
nation 10 the effect that the recent visit
of Senator Tlllman to Mr.. Watson. at the
latter's home in Thomson, was for the
purpose of making Watson g tender Of a
cabinet position on condition that he
withdraw from the yice-presidential con-
test.
1t is known that Senator Tillman went
to Thomson direct from New York, af-
ter a meeting of the national comm ttee
of which he is a member, butthe Journal
does not undertake 20 say who author
lied Ifllman to make the proposition.
According to the story, however, Wat
son promptly declined the offer, ON
the ground that his party would 90 to
the demnition bow-wows If he should
desert his post,
Since his positive refusal to get out Of
the way for Mr., Sewall, it is said that
| the plan is now to call upon SewalI to
clear the track for Watson and take
cabinet position.
WATSON DEMONSTRATION IN NEW YORK.
The managers of tie Watson move
ment are not letting 1t sleep. Last week
there was an outcropping of Georgia ora
tors in his favor. The next thing is to
be demonstration for him at Madison
Square Garden, New York. It APP
pears after all that the Bryan and
Watson club of New York is not a myth.
1t seems likely to demonstrate that it is
no postprandial vagary, but real, living,
potent fact.
There is an able-bodied rumor afioat to
the effect that the Bryan and Watson
club of New York and the Bryan and
Watson clubs Of Georgia viii cooperate
with similar organizations throughout
the country 10 organize demonstration
for Tom Watson in Madison Square
Garden.
OF course the demonstration in New
York, to be a success, must be garnished
with oratory, and it is said that as both
Bryan and Bourke Cochran have disap-
pointed New York audiences BY the
strictly argumentative character of their
speeches, dash of oratory of the fervid
scintillating type would electrify the me-
tropolis. IG casting about for a man for
the emergency the thought of the Wat
son people naturally turned to John
Temple Graves, who possesses in marked
degree the power of chrystalizing vol
ume of argument into a single coruscat-
ing sentence.
Mr.. Graves will be asked to go New
York aud make a speech for Watson,
and If he does so he will no doubt make
the hit of his life.

sonal comments written by Wendell
Phillips when ON his lecture tours.
From Illinois he writes, in a car, with
lead pencil:
"The weather is dull; only two days
since / left that l have seen the sun (;
rain, snow, clouds, damp, mud and
grim heavens. Still, the audiences are

From one of the oil towns in Penn

''Here am in an oil town, mud over

horse was smothered in it; the queerest
crowd of men, with trousers tucked in
their boots. Everybody here is making

A Physicians Novel Device.

The carrier pigeon has been put to
many uses, such, for instance, as maxi
ing known the results of races and cleo
tions to people living at distance. But
a doctor in Scotland has extended its
utility in "a remarkable way. He has a
large and scattered practice, and we
gather from The Medical Press and Cir
cular that when he goes on long rounds
he carries q number of pigeons with
him. IT he finds that some of his pa
tients require medicine at once he writes
ont prescriptions, and by means of the
pigeons forwards them to his surgery.
Here an assistant gets the messages,
prepares the prescriptions and dispatches
the medicine. If, after visiting a pa
tient, the doctor thinks he will be re-
quired later in the day, he simply leaves
a pigeon, which is employed to summon
him if necessary. To this enterprising
physician the keeping of carrier pigeons
means a saving Of time, expense and
labor

Army Music In England.

Since 1867 every army musician in
England must have passed through a
course Of instruction at Kneller hall
the former residence in Twickenham of
Sir Godfrey Kneller. The bandsmen
are supposed to be mere private soldiers
and receive the regulation shilling q
day, plus penny extra for the guards,
and sixpence per diem to provide them
selves with furnished rooms.
1t is of course absurd to suppose that
first rate performers would be satisfied
with this miserable stipend when they
could easily earn co or a3 week by
mere evening work at the theaters.
They therefore receive varying extra
allowance from the band fund of the
regiment, the government contributing
ESQ year per regiment toward the cost
OF music and instruments.
The bandmaster, who is q warrant
officer and is under the military orders
OF the drum major, nominally gets {
shillings to 9 shillings per day, plul
$40 year from the band fund. Boil
bandsmen and their conductor, however
derive the greater part Of their incom,
from private engagements, and trades
unions congresses have more than ono,
protested that the employment of tn,
army bands at fetes garden parties
bazaars and so forth Is unfair to tn
civilian professional bandsmen. --Nev

vh. Civ of Cordovs.

From the station we drove through
staring white suburb. past the well
whitewashed walls of the bull ring, 10
the Fonda de Oriente. 1t was still early
in the afternoon, the sun fierce, the
light blinding-the hour when all sum-
mer we had been sleeping and dreaming
in the Alhambra's halls and the Cen
eralifes gardens. Remembering their
loneliness, and hoping for new beauty
like it, we could not stay in the dull
hotel bedroom, though with its tiled
floor it was fairly cool and clean, and
we went out into the town. Silence
hung over il like pail. Every winding
street in the labyrinth beyond the Paseo
was empty; not a living creature in
sight, only once in awhile beggar,
who rushed from some spot of shade to
assail us. All the low, white houses,
with their iron barred windows, were
tight shut The place was abandoned and
desolate, its silence unbroken by sound
of toll or traffic.
Was this really the Cordova of Musa
and AbdeITahman. the Cordova once
called the Bagdad or Damascus OF the
west, whose streets were ever alive with
the clang of arms. the pomp of process
sions, the clatter of students going to
and from the schools, whose name was
a synonym for wealth and power, for
culture and industry-the world famous
town with its scientists and merchants
and women doctors? 1t was as If a
plague had fallen suddenly upon the
town and left not one man, woman, or
child to tell the tale. Elizabeth r.

Mosquito Vaccination.

Within .he last two years q family
moved from the city to the country.
There Were about the new place a great
number of mosquitoes, and the POSSIBLE
ity of an intimate acquaintance with
this insect was serious draw back to
their enjoyment of their new home. As
the mosquito season arrived there were
complaints of suffering that made hight
a dread. By some means mosquitoes
would get into the house, even though
every door and window were tightly
screened. The theory was that infant
mosquitoes crept through the wires and
grew to maturity in the apartment. At
all events they did their mischievous
work to the great Disagreement and dis
tress OF the members of the household,
but they were located and could not
change their residence, a thing they
would gladly have done for this reason
alone, so serious was the trouble.
Toward the latter part of the season
it was observed that the bites, instead of
swelling and forming blotches an inch
or SO across. grew less annoying until on
several occasions there were bites on the
hands that produced no results beyond
the immediate sting of the bite. A lit
tie notice proved the fact that several
members of the family had by some
process become practically exempt, and
the mosquito plague became but tri-
ding item of annoyance. 1t might be in
teresting to follow up this subject and
see whether the introduction of this
poison into the system has the same ef-
feet as vaccination, rendering the per-
son almost if not altogether proof
against suffering from future punctures
from these hitherto troublesome pests.
