ALL FOR ONE WIFE.
William King Sues William Comp
ton for $4,000.

William Compton is a dashing look
ing man with a Spanish cast of coun-
tenance and retrouse nose. He seems
very much interested in a case before
Judge Johnson, in which William A.
King is seeking to obtain from him So
600 for the alienation of his wife's af-
feGtions. The claim is that Mrs. Comp
ton, who was once Mrs. King, began
an action for divorce, which she secured
slightly on the quiet. The first thing
King knew, he had no wife, because
Compton had her. Then he claimed
that Compton had laid seige to his
wifes heart before the divorce, and
was one of the main causes. There
are many neighbors present. who are
anxious to testify, and they have some
very spicy stories to tell. Many Of
these stories were told in former &C
ton when Mr.. King tried to secure pos
session of his child before Judge Bel
den. This makes four alienation cases
on the present term calendar, which
shows that it is becoming a favorite
form of amusement.

he had never been beneath the water,
he had crossed an ocean of one variety

other. But he had the Hilberuian smile,
which is convincing, and the firm

on the following morning Pat hid his

Now, the job upon which thc crew to

Judge Cooper, in the Criminal Court
recently, declared the Jarvis fee bill,
passed by the last Legislature, uncon.
stitutional. This is a triumph for the
office holding class that fought the bill
so hard when 1t was up before the Leg.
islature. What offieialism could not
defeat in Nashville it has defeated,
temorarily at least. in the courts.
While nominally the case was brought
by few witnesses or jurymen to Sc
cure their fees on a. case where con.
viction was not had, and where the
Jarvis bill denied them fees, it was re-
ally brought and fought by the office
holders whose revenues were affected
by the bill. Lawyers differ in their
opinion regarding the constitutionality
of the bill, and the Supreme Court
must decide, because the case has been
appealed to that tribunal. While no
attempt should be made to forestall
the finding of the Supreme Court, there
are other phases of the bill, and of the
history and defeat of all previous at.

And left to sail upon the seas.
His face looked sad as he cried back,

He waved his hand till the ship was gone
Far out on the rolling sea,
And she thought of the last words he said:

The sun went down in golden red

And oh, those words her boy had said:
"Will you remember me?p
The thunder crashed, and rolled and died,
The lightning cleaned as bright as day.
And she thought of him, her son, her pride,
oh why had he gone to sea.
Next morn the waves were still once more ;
They beat no more upon the strand,
But oh, another scene was there
