OLD WINE IN A NEW BOTTLE.

The iSt0teJo,trnal and Wheeling
IntelHgencer persist in saying that
minority representation on the
boards of our State institutions
began under the Republican Leg
islature of 1895. In the interest
of historical accuracy, we want
to say that no Republican was
appointed on any of these boards
for many years prior to 1887. but
that during the winter of that
year Judge Edwin Maxwell, who
was then one of the senators
from this district, introduced and
succeeded in passing through a
Democratic Legislature the law
which has since been in force,
giving to the party in power 8 of
the 8 members Of the board in
the Hospital for the Insane. un-
der which law Messrs. Hyer,
Floyd and Shaw, three of the
board just proposed by Gov. At
kinson, were appointed and have
since been acting members. The
Legislature, during the session
Just closed, passed the same
law, the effect of which is that
Gov. Atkinson has the appoint
ment of a new board, to be CON-
posed of three Democrats and 6
Republicans.
The Legislature of '95, to
which our contemporaries have
so often referred, passed the law
with reference to the Board of
Regents for the University, au-
thorizlng the appointment of five
Democrats and four Republicans,
but the Legislature at its last
session passed a new law, which
in effect applies the Maxwell law
of 1887 to the University, and
authorizes the appointment of
three Democrats and six Repub-
licans in the Board of Regents.
We are amazed at the appar-
ent ignorance of our esteemed
contemporaries, on a subject
with which they ought TO be
thoroughly conversant. For the
benefit of their own readers,
whom they have so long been
leading astray, will the Inte1H-
oencer and the State Journal
oblige US by correcting this littlr
error, and thus put the matter
in its true light?
Personally, we feel greatly
grati6ed at the achievement of
Harrison county's Senator in the
face of such powerful opposition.
and that his Judge Maxwell's)
measure of ten years ago has
been endorsed by the present
Legislature.

covered. Higher and higher
came the swelling tide until the
fence around the Capitol disap.
peared. Senator'S and Judges OF
Supreme Court hired john. boats
and canoes and were landed at
very door of the capitol. For
two days it was impossible to do
little else than meet and adjourn.
The steam heaters were sub.
merged and the great building
became so cold and damp that
few of the members cared 10 risk
their health in such an atmos.
phere.
Everybody supposed the result
would be an extended session.
But not so Thursday and Fri.
day were days of hustling. The
members suddenly determinedt to
finish upthe work and adjourn
at the end of the forty five days.
The legislative mill ground as it
never ground before until Friday
night and as the hours crept on
the old State clock was turned
backward. This had to be done
as there was no Joshua present
to stop the wheels of the Universe
and stampede astronomy. 1t

the final committee was named

chairman of this committee and

homeward trip, Senator Hensley |
moved that the Senate do adjourn
sine die aud the session was
ended.
The House adjourned and the
members were singing "God be
with you all until we meet again."
the Senators reached the great
hall and caught up the refrain
and with mingled feelings Of Joy
and regret they passed out into
tie silent morning. 1t was half
past 8 a. m.
1t will take several columns in
future to properly inform the
readers of the TELEGRAM fully
about the work of the session.
Many bills that have already
been described failed to pass at
the last minute and some that
had attracted but little attention
were suddenly pushed to the
front and passed.

Jacksonville, Fla, May 1.-THE lat

reached here yesterday. 1t says that
much excitement was caused at Twin
Lakes, west Of here, on Wednesday last.

died the day before, and the body was
being taken to the cemetery, across the
creek. The creek is about three feet
deep.
AS the hearse reached the middle OF
the stream an alligator dashed from the
bank and began circling around the
horses. The horses ran away, broke
loose from the hearse, and dashed to
the bank, leaving the hearse and driver
in the middle Of the stream.
The alligator then attacked the
horses in buggies behind the hearse:
Saul Jackson's black horse showed
fight and the alligator bit 1t. The
horse ottftdrned the buggy, throwing
Mrs. Jackson and two girls into the
water. They managed to get to the
shore in safety.
One of the men went back half
