LOCKWOOD DIDN.TLEAD.
An Invitation to Pray frightened the
Eminent Attorney.

An Invitation to Pray Frightened the
Eminent Attorney.
From the New York Mail and Ex-
press: Many prominent lawyers in
London are of an eyangelistic turn of
mind and employ their leisure by pulpit
exercise in whatever denomination they
favor. Reader Harris, well-known
queens counsel, for instance, is founder
and head of the obscure body known
as the Pentecostal league, which is
holding its annual meeting in London
this week But the best known preach
ing queens counsel is Samuel Waddy,
leading light among Methodists. Mr.
Waddy is a good-humored old soul, of
whom his brethren learned in the law
like occasionally to make fun. Once
when he was on circuit with Mr.. (now
Sir) Frank Lockwood, that witty law
yer determined to see how Waddy be-
haved in the pulpit. Accordingly, &C
companied by a barrister friend, Mr..
Lockwood visited the Methodist chapel
where Waddy was to preach and took
prominent front seat. But Waddy
espied them when he entered the pulpit,
and, knowing their object, determined
to get rid of them; so. after some pre-
uuInary EXERCISES ne rose anu sOA-
emily said:
Brother Lockwood will lead the con-
gregation in prayer"
Brother Lockwood's dismay may be
better imagined than described. He
vanished from his seat quicker than
thought, and no ''Methody" chapel has
known his proud presence since.
It is not often that anyone scores OFF
Lockwood. Generally it is the other
way. Once he was engaged on the OPP
posite side from Sir Charles Russell
(now Lord Russell of Killowen), who
was trying to browbeat' witness into
giving direct reply, Yes" or mo"
You can answer my question Yes or
No." declared Sir Charles.
ooh, can you?" retorted Lockwood.
May ask If you have left off beating
your wife?''
Of course Lord Russell was not
wife-beater, but he was fairly cornered.
If he said yes he admitted the prac-
tice: if he said mo the situation was
still worse. He did not press the point
with the witness.

TILLMAN'S ELoQUENCE.

It Amazes the Senate, Likewise Astounded
At His Boldnsss.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 3O.-Such a tor
rent of invective has seldom been
heard IN the senate as that in the
speech of Mr.. Tillman on the silver
question, delivered yesterday Vet
eran members of the body character
lied the speech as one of the most re-
marka bic in the history of the upper
branch of congress. 1t abounded in
statements of sensational character,
arraigning President Cleveland, Sec
rotary Carlisle and other men in high
places. There was a directness of
statement and dramatic manner of
delivery which awed floor and gal
leries. The gestures of the senator
were used frequently in acting his
words. At one point he made a pro-
found salute, aud then tipped his hat
to Sherman "as the financial victor of
a quarter of century" The galleries
were moved alternately to applause
and laughter. Pausing for a sip of
water amid roars of laughter, he re-
marked: 81 seldom wet my whistle
while L speak; still you can't run
wind mill on water"
The next moment there was a hush
through the chamber as the Senator
applled such names as Judas" to a
member of the cabinet, or character
lied the President in bitter terms. At
times the Senator's voice sank to
whisper, as, for instance, when he
gave warning of the approach of
popular revolution and communism,
and the marching on Washington of
host with rifles in their hands. Again
his voice resounded through the cham
Der and the outer corridors as he

The Louisiana Republican Con-
vention a Stormy Meeting.
CORRUPTION. CHARGED
VIM. Pitt Kellogg, the Reed
Leader Secures Control.
This Means Four Delegates
29O Contested Seats.

NEW ORLEANS, Jan. 30.-The meet
ing of the Republican State convention
last evening resulted in one of the
stormiest sessions in the history of
the party in this State. The fight be-
tween the Mckinley and Reed forces
for four delegates-at-large to the ma
tlonal convention was complicated by
the presence of a very noisy faction
of Repu blicans, who cared nothing for
the question of delegates, but were in
terested solely in the question whether
or not the convention should indorse
the Populist sugar planter ticket or
nominate separate ticket of its own
for State officers.
Mckinley captured four delegates in
the districts Tuesday. This made the
Reed men, led by Ex-Governor KEEL
logg, unusually anxious to capture the
four egates-a t-large to be selected
by the convention. Captain A Il.
Vim berly, the Mckinley leader, had
gained control of the temporary organ
izatiOn of the convention, but Kellogg
had the State central committee, which
had adjourned sine die, called together
again, and the control wrested from
Wimb erly. Accordingly, in the con-
ventlOn, after a four hours fight, the
Reed men, with the help of the advo-
Gates of a State ticket, elected R. T.
Gu1chard temporary CHAIRMAN
1t was discovered that out of a con-
vention of some 600 delegates, the
seats of 2eO were contested. The con-
vention took recess until the creden-
tials committee could report t. At a
late hour last night, the contests were
still being heard. There is very bitter
feeling between the Mckinley and
Reed factions. All sorts of rumors of
bribery and corruption are af1oat.
No one can tell what the convention
will finally do 1t is expected, how
ever, that the developments will be
highly sensational. If the Reed men
are able to follow up their advantage,
which is probable, it will give Reed
four delegates. Mckinley already has
four, and it is claimed that the dele
gates yet to be chosen from the dis
tricts will also be equally divided be-
tween Mckinley and Reed, giving
each eight votes from Louisiana.

In The ReginninG

OF a new year, when the winter season
of close confinement is only half gone,
many find that their health begins to
break down, that the least exposure
threatens sickness. 1t is then as we'll as
at all other times, and with people even
in good health, that the following facts
should be remembered, namely: that
Hoods Sarsaparilla leads everything in
the way of medicines; that it accom-
pIishes the greatest cures in the world;
has the largest sale in the world, and re-
ouires the largest building in the world
devoted exclusively to the preparation of
the proprietary medicine. Does not this
concIusively prove, if you are sick, that
Hoods Sarsaparilla is the medicine for
YOU to take?

The Tract of High Commercial
and Strategic Value.
WE HAVE USURPED 1T
Says Lord Salisbury and Rt.
Hon. Mr.. Chamberlain.
Germany Has Ordered a Dozen
New Torpedo Boats.

LONDON, Jan. 3o.-Lord Salisbury
and the Right Hon. Mr.. Chamberlain
have been considering the result of
inquiries into the records here, made
on behalf of British Columbia, which
show that the United States has no
right, under the Anglo-Russian treaty
of 1925, to ), 600, 900 acres of land Oppo-
site Prince of Wales island, on the
Pacific coast, which is of high strate-
gic and commercial value, and which
the United States has usurped since
buying Alaska.
The records of the dispatches of
Bagot to Lord Canning show that the
Clarence straits, and not Portland in
let, is the correct boundary.
1t is suggested that the Canadian
members of the Alaska boundary COM
mission have been znisled into assum-
ing the correctness of the United
States assumption.

A. s1h.onn Gravel Walk.

The gorgeous tales of oriental splen-
dor tell of pathways strewn with gold
dust, to be trodden by the sacred feet
of royalty, and diamonds are the con-
ventional paving material for the prom
enade of the princes in the fairy tales.
It has been left to a St. Louis business
man, says correspondent, to construct
a gravel walk, neither long nor strik-
ingly beautiful, that is a modern, if
comparatively humble, rival of these
glistening highways of fiction and
fable, for it represents SIS, 900 in hard
cash.
The manager of a st. Louis coffee
company is the proud possessor of this
unique walk. 1t is composed of sew
eral tons of Brazilian pebbles. that
came to him in an ordinary business
way during the last few years.
This firm are heavy importers Of
Brazilian coffee. Before the berries
are ready to be roasted for the market
the sacks are opened and the contents
carefully examined for twigs, leaves
and other impurities, the latter gen
orally taking the shape of small peb-
bles about the size of a coffee berry.
These came with such regularity and
in such quantities that long ago the
idea that they were accidentally in the
sacks was abandoned and the con-
clusion reluctantly reached that they
were purposely placed in the bags to
make weight. The daily discoveries of
these Brazilian pebbles, which are paid
for as coffee, will fill an ordinary
bucket. They are still added to the
gravel path as they come in.-Ex-
change.

wORK Is PLENTY
Wages n Ugh at Cripple Creek, Says Il
Kansas Man.

Kansas Man.
ARKANSAS CITY, Jan. 30.-E E.
HoughtCn has returned from Cripple
Creek and is favorably impressed.
Speaking of its resources he said:
"Cripple Creek is great town at
present Beunett avenue is jammed
with people from morning until night,
and Second street is the same. The
restaurants and hotels are unable to feed
the people or furnish sleeping accom-
modations. Butcher shops are crowded
with customers and wagon loads of pro-
duce can be sold on the streets at all
hours.
The Palace and Portland are the prin-
cipal hotels and they turn people away
by the hundreds. Every business man
seems to be getting rich, but it takes big
money to get location. All buildings
that are put up are rented for weeks in
advance, the rent running from 800 to
$500 per month for a small store room
Hundreds of buildings, both business
and residence, are in course of construc-
tion and it is impossible to lease piece
of ground to put building on.
All seem to be busy and work is plenty
Wages for hotel help range from cook.
$50 per week, down to walters, from $12
to $I4 Laborers at mines are paid from
So to So per day.

Fletcher has just completed singular
inspection of the postoffice at George
town, Ind, and put it in new hands.
This is village of 600 inhabitants

daughter The father died fif-
teen years ago. The daughter,
Miss Louise Montweiler, now 60
years old, has been in charge ever
since. Inspector Fletcher found the

Roughly Handled.

Roughly Handled.
CAPE Town, Jan. 30.-The Reform
Union prison ers were set upon in the
streets of the Transvaal capital when
on their way to the prison there.
They were roughly treated and obliged
to retire to the Jail to escape being
torn to pieces. One of the American
prisoners, apparently John Hays Ham
mond, was flung down, trampled upon
and bruised, amid the yells of the
armed Beers. The aggressors were
not arrested.
The prisoners were allowed nothing
more in Jail than ordinary criminals
are. The heat of the burning sun to
men accustomed to luxury, and the
risk of typhoid fever from lack of san
itation was awful. They had to eat
their food off the ground at first.
