LOVE ROUTs COL. EVANS.
A Georgia Girl, From MiIIedgevIIIe,
Married to the Man of Her Choice.

Georgia Girl, From MiIIedgevIIIe,
Married to the Man of Her Choice.
From the New York Sun.
Col. Samuel Evans of Nilledgevnle, Ga,
came to town on Sunday morning in a hur-
ry because his daughter, Bessie, had writ
ten to him that she was going to be mar
ried yesterday to p. H. Hirsch of 10 Wall
street. Col. Evans did not know Mr..
TIirsch, and he was determined to stop the
marriage at all hazards. Nevertheless his
daughter won him over TO her side. for last
night he attended her marriage with Mr..
Hirsch.
Although Col. Evans got here on Sun
day morning he did not begin operations
until yesterday. The first move he made
was to go to the mayors Office in the city
hall. He is man of medium hight, with
close-cut, iron-gray whiskers and fierce
mustache. He was seemingly in fierce
mood.
MY name is Evans" he said, "of Mil
ledgeville, Ga. / got a letter from by
daughter the other day, my daughter Bes-
sic. She's been visiting here. She says
she is going to marry man named
Hrsch. p. II, Hirsch of 10 Wall street l
don't know him. l won't allow my daugh-
ter to marry him. She cant marry with
out my consent. She isn't of age I'm
going to stop it. 1 want to stop the Ii
cense."
The colonel was told that no license
was required in this state. At that he
grew even more excited.
well, anyway, I'm told that they will
come here to be married and I'm not GO
ing to allow 1t. 1 won't have it, SIR" he
said.
Policeman Maher told him that the best
thing he could do was to sit down and wait
for them to appear. The colonel said tina /
was q good plan and sat down He took
his daughters letter from his pocket, and
began to read ii again. He had not read
more than five lines when he leaped to his
feet jammed his hat over his eyes, and
started for the door exclaiming:
1--WE made a mistake. / misread the
letter She won't be married here, but II

at once, or III be too late" and out he
rushed. That was the last seen of the
colonel until evening.
In the meantime the reporters went to
the office of Mr. Hirsch. He is a tall we'll

A Queer Mania.
From the Cleveland Plain-Dealer

From the Cleveland Plain-Dealer.
Not long ago a Cleveland man was taken
up on the roof of the New England build
ing by some of the Century Club boys to
enjoy the view. 1t was a clear day, and
the vista in every direction was delight
full. But the boys noticed that the visitor
hung back from the parapet, and declared
he could see everything all right from the
middle of the roof. Being pressed to go
closer to the edge, he fatty refused.
THE fact is" he said, afterward, that
/ can't stand the sensation of being up at
this tremendous hight. No, I don't have
the ordinary feeling that | must throw my
self down. 1t isn't giddiness In fact I
think-doctors have told me-that my case
is somewhat original. You have noticed
the sensation you get when standing on
a bridge, and having a vessel pass be-
meath. If you look down it isn't long be-
fore you feel as if the bridge was moving
and the boat was standing still OF
course. we have all experimental in this
very thing lots of times in boyhood days.
Well that's about the same sensation it
gives me when a a considerable hight
above the ground. If / look down and
catch sight of a moving object, | at once
imagine the structure upon which l stand
is hustling rapidly through space and
carrying me with it. I somehow can't help
looking down. and the speed constantly
increases. feel as if 1 must be thrown
off unless / can cling to something, and
/ really suffer tortures. The sense Of
moving is just as real to me as if were
on cannon ball express, and the only
relief is to get away from the edge Of the
roof, or whatever il may be, and look up
at the sky, instead of looking down. When
I was in Europe few years ago we made
several little trips outside of Rome, and on
one of them visited a little place called
Ischia-I think that was the name. There
wasn't much beyond the local colorng to
attract us, the only interesting piece of
architecture being a quaint old tower. Of
course, the party wanted to explore it.
and we went up. I kept my eyes turned
away from the earth as much as possible.
and reached the top all right While I
was studying the clouds and the faraway
blue hills my companions, for joke, stole
down and left me there alone. / didn't

CONGRESSMAN SIMS.
He Raises Question That Struck Home
in the Republican Ranks.


in the Republican Ranks.
The Washington correspondent
Of the Nashville American recently
had the following to say with ref
erence to Congressman Z. w. Sims:
Representative 7. w. Sims, of
the Eighth district Of Tennessee, is
beginning to attract the attention
Of Republicansand Democrats alike
in the House. Late yesterday af-
ternoon he secured two minutes in
which to express his views on pen
sion legislation. He opposed large
pension appropria tions on the
ground that Government revenue
would not justify them. He sug-
gested that If the rich were to be
pensioned, as is the case, then the
Government should impose an in
come tax to help increase Govern
ment revenues and thus compel
rich people east, whose section re-
ceiyes the greatest benefit from the
pension law, to pay back some Of
the money to the Government that
their section receives in pensions.
1t was the first time this question
had been raised, and it seemed to
festerinleader Dingley's sides. To
the two-minute speech of Mr.. Sims,
Dingley required forty minutes to
explain the position of the Repub-
lican party and make his reply"
