Personally you are not well acquait-

his name sometimes, and Your daughter

you strive to recolltct his name with

Early Adiournment Of Congress.

The fact that such unusual progress
was made with the sundry civil appro-
priaticn bill in the senate Friday, and
that the Democrats manifested no dis
position to delay its consideration has
greatly encouraged the Republican
senator's in the belief that an early ad-
journment is probable. 1t is under
stood that the Democratic leaders have
practically agreed that congress shall
close as soon as the appropriation bills
can be disposed of. and that they will
make no opposition to their considera-
tion with as much dispatch as is con-
sistent with their ideas of the demands
of the public business. They will ex-
pect, that opportunity shall be granted
for the consideration of one or two
measures, and among other things will
ask that vote shall be taken upon
the resolution to seat Mr.. Dupont as a
senator from Delaware. The Demo
Gratis think that in case the vote is
taken on this proposition the resolu-
ton will be defeated.

Mr.. J. F. Smith, well-known drug
gist of Texarkana, Ark, ended his, life
at the Merchants Hotel, st. Louis,
Friday. by taking an overdose of NOR
phine. Smith was the inventor of the
patent medicine known as "Slnith's
Bile Beans, and was very well known
to the drug trade. Thursday afternoon
Smith registered at the Merchants
Hotel, and was assigned to room 70,
on the third floor. He retired to his
room Immediately, ind summoned a
bell boy, Rudolph Beech, whom he
dispatched for forty cents worth of
morphine. The boy secured the drug
at Fourteenth and Olive streets, and
gave it to Smith. That was the last
anyone about the hotel saw OF
Smith alive. Friday afternoon a 5
O'Clock the bell boy went up to Smiths
room to clean the windows. He noticed
Smith lying in the bed, apparently
asleep, and after few moments decided
to awaken him. 1t took him but q mo-
ment to discover that Smith would
never again awaken in this world. He
notified the clerk. of the hotel. who
summoned the policeman on the beat:
An investigation of the body showed
that life had been extinct for hours,
as decomposition was fast setting IN.
The body was removed to the morgue,
and the effects of the deceased, consist
ing of valise and an overcoat, were
taken to the coroner's Office.

making canvass of the house since

ONE HUNDRED BARGEs.
A New Line Between New Orleans
and Greenville, Miss.

A few days ago representatives OF
the Southern Railway Company and OF
the West Alabama Coal Association
met in Washington. d. o., on what
at the time appeared to be be rathersa
secret mission. Besides the officials
there were several Southern capitalists
and not q few business men present,
among whom was Mr. F. @. Dunn, OF
New Orleans, La.
The conference covered some little
time and one press dispatch sent out
said there was a big deal on, foot, being
backed by the Southern Railway,
which looked toward Western outlet
for the Alabama coal fields. But the
railroad men and the coal miners were
not disturbed in their deliberations,
and when they adjourned an agreement
had been reached and a,conuact prop
erly signed by which the Southern
Railway Company should put in a new
coal tipple at Greenville, Miss, the
western terminal of that line, costing
no less than $40, 900, and by which Q
line of coal barges, numbering about
100, should be placed on the Missis-
sippi river to carry the Alabama prod
net to New Orleans and distribute it
up and down the tributary streams.
1t is one of the greatest projects of
recent announcementin the coal world,
and indirectly involves a vast sum OF
money. 1t is one taht the Southern
rail way has been working on for long
time, but never before could they ant
the West Alabama Coal Association ge
together. The Southern railway sys-
tenn comprises some 5000 miles of line
and for months it has been attempting
to get cheap New Orleans outfit fol
its Alabama coal.
The West Alabama Coal Association
is composed of these four coal com
panies: The Virginia and Alabama Goa
company, the Corona coal and COX,
company, the American coal and coke
company and the Kohinoor coal min
ing company, and this new enterprise
will be conducted under the name o
the above association, for the joint &C
