IT'S time that / went forth to eat
The Sandwich.
The great charm of a picnic is that,
after the meal, there is absolutely
nothing TO do. The stout and elderly,
who have consumed much food and
drink and insect life, say that they
love to watch the trembling sun
beams pierce the leafy solitudes," and
wander off, to be awakened by the
colored man, when the teams are
ready to return. The severely domes-
ticated maiden aunt spends the after
noon packing up and keeping the
the children away from the remaining
viands. Edwin and Angelina stimuli
taneously wish to see a distant water
fall, and, disappearing, come across
other Edwins and Angelines going
the same way, whereupon all apollo
gize, separate and forget all about the
waterfall until it is time to tell the
others how beautiful it was.
UNDER THE GREENWOOD TREE.
Where the shadows steal across the
sward,
And ant and beetle ramble,
We love to eat our sandwiched meat,
And sit on thorns and brambles.
Where fairy fronds of ferns are found
And with their soft caresses,
The spiders tread on cake and bread
And over ladies' dresses.
Where bubbling brooks in beauty
bound,
And flies stick on the butter,
And ladies scream when in the cream
The long-legged insects tiutter.
Where wooing woodlands welcome
wave,
Unmindful of the times tick, tick,
Wen walk the glade with some fair
maid,
And leave the motley picnic.
Picnics furnish the most sublime
instance of faith. 1t is quite touching
TO see people diving trustfully into
tins and smilingly eating suspicious
pies The preacher mourns the mod
ern lack of faith. Did he ever realize
the infinite belief in human goodness
displayed in the eating of Frankfurt
ers? Tender youth and hoary age,
withered hand, and dimpled palm
alike stretch out in eager competition
for these sublime mysteries. The
sight is as pathetic as the whole-soul-
ed trust of the little child in the ben
ficence of even demoralized parents.

THE INDICATIONS ARE THAT ALL

BEEN DEFEATED.
VOIEOR VALIDATING BONDS CLOSEST

In to n. m. Indicate That the
Irrigation md Railroad
Amendments Are Defeated.

Galveston, Tex. Aug. "a general
election was held in Texas yesterday
to vote on three amendments to the con-
stitution. A light vote was polled all
over the state, the total being possibly
about one-third of the vote cast in NO
vember. The indications are that all
three amendments have been defeated.
The reports cover partial returns from
half the counties in the state. AS lar
as heard from, all amendments are de-
feated in the following counties: John
son, Navarro, Eastland, Comanche,
Clay, Stephens, Denton, Callahan, Rusk,
Upshur, Collin, Taylor, Armstrong,
Howard and McLennan.
They carried the counties of FL Paso,
Ward, Bowie, Gregg, Galveston and
Grayson.
Returns received up to Il. m, cover
ing 245 points in the state, show total
vote as follows: For irrigati on, 1l,315;
against, 20,206 For validating bonds,
13,O51; against, 1902. For railroad
bonds, 1864; against, u 400.
Vote on validating bonds is the clos
est, but even that is defeated.

If that will reconcile the democracy in

generally does, but if the free silver wing
of the democracy in Maryland hates the

much as they do in some other states,
Mr.. German will find when he prepares

Notwithstanding the enactment of a
tariff that is essentially prohibitiye of the
importation into this country of South
American staple products, the visits of the
South American merchants to this country
will result in very considerable trade with
South American countries. OF course,
these people are going to buy in the cheap
est market, and they have found it will be
to their interest to buy in this country
many articles which they have been i'm.
porting through Europe heretofore.
Among the contracts made when they were
here is government contract with Penn
sylvania manufacturers involving $1,000
600, an order for $1,500,0O0 of Pittsburg
products, and various smaller orders for
goods in Pennsylvania. They have left
orders for machinery, carts, paper brew
cries and public buildings in Pennsylvania
alone. The Spanish and Portuguese mcr-
chants have also made large orders in the
New England states. In the meantime
it is stated that there is demand in Wash
ington City for men familiar with the por.
tuguese and Spanish languages to trans.
late the tariff into those languages. We
fear they will find good deal in the tariff
TO cool their ardor for trade with this
country.

SENTENCED TO HANG.
Murderer Flanagan Will stretch
Hemp August 25-A Strange Case.

Hemp August 25-A Strange Case.
Atlanta, Ga, July 31.-Edwin Flana-
gan, who has been on trial all this week at
Decatur for the murder of Mrs. Nancy
Allen and Miss Ruth Slack on the even
ing of the 31st of last December, was this
morning, found guilty by jury and i'm
mediately sentenced by Judge Gambler tn
be hanged Wednesday, August 25.
Flanagan is carpenter and was for
merly in the employ of the Standard Oil
company, in whose service he travelled to
various southern cities where depots of
the company were being built. He had a
mania for making love to and seeking to
marry very young girls. His method was
to advertise for a nurse for a mythical
niece, and when young girls made applica-
tion he would select the prettiest of the lot
and propose marriage. Through such an
advertisement he made the acquaintance
of and went to board with the family of
&. w. Allen, living in Dekalb county, near
Atlanta. There he conceived Il mad infat-
uatiOn for little Leila, the 11-year-oid
daughter of the house. He asked her faith
er for the child's hand in marriage, but the
request was hardly taken seriously. When
he had been put off several times he be-
came morbid and conceived the horrible
idea that Allen was having improper
relations with his own daughter. On the
night of December 81, after eating sup
per with the family, he went to his room,
got pistol and returning to the supper
table shot at George w. Allen, wOunding
him slightly. In the confusion that fol-
lowed he fired indiscriminately, killing the
mother of George Allen instantly and
wounding Miss Slack fatally.
When arrested Flanagan explained his
crime by saying that plot was being
formed against him by the Allen family
because of his discovery of the relations
existing between the father and daughter,
and that he had TO kill to escape being
killed

A CORRECTION.

The corporation has in reality shut down
but few weeks annually for customary
repairs, and during a great part of the past

tons to their force of workmen, the Of

The late William Cookson Carpenter,
the Oldest practicing lawyer in New York,
mt his death, attributed his long life (9J
years Of age) to "a plenty of sleep and
plenty of good whisky" Job says the
wicked flourish as a green bay tree, and
Mr.. Carpenter proved it, but the re-
ligionists also cite numerous instances of
longevity due to total abstinence from
all intoxicants. We suppose it depends
very much upon the make up of the man
or woman. Some men may need tonics
and stmulants, while to others all slim
ulants are poisons rs fatal as snake
bite. and so we go. One woman died in
North Carolina from the excessive use of
tobacco at Is years of age while her
mother, who was also an excessive to-
bacco user, lived to be ZIG years of age.
So it seems members of the same blood
and bone are differently affected and that
it is best for every one to ascertain for
him or herself whether or not it is best
for them TO use such things.

DEMAND ON JUDGE REAGAN.

The Dallas News has made most sen
siblc suggestion in regard TO the service
that Judge Reagan can do the country
by writing a history of the closing scenes
of the Davis administration of the late
confedcracy. II remarks that he is the
only survivor of Mr.. Davis cabinet, that
he accompanied Mr.. Davis from Rich
mond and that he was arrested ut the
same time and shared imprisonment with
Mr.. Davis. 1t also dwclls upon the clear
ness of Judge Rcagan's intellect and the
accuracy of his memory OF events tllat
must have indclliby impressed themselves
upon his mind.
We can say nothing in addition to this
but to suggest that these most interest
ing events have not been told by any one
nor is there any one still alive so capable
of writing a most interesting book upon
this subject as Judge Reagan. 1t is true
that he is rather an old man to turn au-
thor. but he is Il forciblc and c0mprehen-
siye writer and it seems Il duty he owes
the people that have always delighted
TO honor him to perform this service to
the country. How intensely interesting
would be a narration of the matters dis
cussed at those last cabinet meetings
when all but a forlorn hope had fled.
Under the circumstances III which Mr..
Davis was placed after the evacuation
of Richmond by the confederate govern
ment. his words and actions would give
truer insight into his brave and noble
character. Not only does Judge Reagan
owe this duty to the participators in that
war. but he owes it TO the memory of
his grand old chief.
