NO FORFEITURE
Of the Charter of the Jefferson Davis Monumental Commission Says
 An Authority.

Richmond, Va, June 19.-Concerning the question raised yesterday as to whether the Jefferson Davis monumental commission had not lived up to the terms of its charter and therefore had no legal existence, Justice G. L. Christian, lead ing lawyer of this city and for a long time president of the Richmond chamber of commerce, writes to one of the evening papers in which the question appeared as follows.
 'I am one of the incorporators and di- rectofs named in the charter and feel the deepest interest in th@ accomplishment of the purpose for which the association was organized and feel the publication in your paper can only result in retarding the work of the association alr+ady great ly delayed and embarrassed by the strin- gency of the times and other con sidera- tions I have carefully examined the charter (acts 1SS9-90 D. 3d), and there Is no special provision in 1t about annual meetings and election of officers, as stat ed in your paper. The association has held frequent meetings every year sinc+ it was organized, and I believe all its meetings have been as l+gal and readily conducted as those of any corporation of a similar character ever chartered under the laws of this or any other state.
 Respectfully,
 "GEORGE l.. CHRISTIAN"

Havana, June 19.-La Lucha, in a. lead- ing editorial, strongly cond mns the at tacks of the organ of the Spa anlsh admir- atty on Consul-General Lee, which it says are indiscreet, adding that such attacks made at a time when the government at Washington contemplates removing the consul general may induce '.he American government to retain him in his public position. The authorities al Washing ton might releive Gen. Lee of their own accord. but would not on pressure brought by .lle Spa nish. La Lucha also says that the Ams rfcan government has also placed their own value upon Gen.

A MANY SIDED MAN.
Death Of Ex-senator MCPHERSON
Unscathed by investigations.

JERSEY CITY, N. j.. Oct. 14-Ex-sena-
tor John r. Mcpherson OF this state has Just
died suddenly in Taylors's hotel here. He

into the live stock trade, and soon be-
came one OF the most prominent dealers.
He invented, perfected and put into practice
new and hitherto unknown devices and
principles in the treatment OF animal matter.
He designed and put In operation in this
country the great abattor system In use In
France, and improved that system in many
material ways. Mr.. Mcpherson was mem

MARCHED BUT THREE MILES,
Bnt Mrs. Tarr Got Pension just the
Same-Dead at o.,

Same-Dead at o..
ROCKPORT, Mass. Oct. l4-Mrs. Polly
Turner Tarr, the oldest person In this town,
is dead. She was born June ~. 1900. and
was hale and hearty until week before her
death, dispensing with eyeglasses and canes,
and possessing her hearing and other facul-
ties. She was married ut the age OF 20
years and had six children, three OF whom
are living. They, are Nathaniel Tarr,
7G years old: Daniel, in business In Rockport;
and Esther j., now Mrs. Humphrey Clay.
When the house in which Mrs. Tarr died was
built the rear part of the building, when
half finished, fell on her and the doctor said
she could not live five minutes. That was
60 years ago, and although it took two men
and the boy to lift the timber away from
Mrs. Tarr. and although she had suffered
from the growing together of two vertebrate
as result, she outived the accident 80
years. In the war OF 1872 her husband be-
three miles to GAINESVILLE as the extent
OF his military service. Mrs. Tarr, however,
considered herself entitled to u pension. and
succeeded in Obtaining one. In her last
years she declared that there should be a
law to shoot, poison or kill in some manner
every one who was more than sixty years
old. She was of u most charitable DISPOSE
ton, and reared two orphan girls, to-
gether with her children. Mrs. Tarr
remembered the landing of the British
in 1872, when the guard, Daniel Still
man, was asleep on duty. Some of the
townsmen were taken by the enemy and
some Of the latter by the townsmen, and the
prisoners were exchanged in u few days.

who carried food to the Yankee prisoners

When dead, the reindeer's services
to man do not cease. The blood is
drunk warm and every part of the
body is utilized in some way. The
flesh is dried or smoked, in which con-
dition it can be kept indefinitely in
such a climate. The surplus blood is
preserved by freezing, and is then
used for buildings, and the stomach
and contents are frozen for special
delicacies. The Laps make bowstrings
and n rough thread out of the sinews
and intestines. and glue from the
hoofs, and various articles of use and
ornament out of the antlers. But
more important than any of these are
the blankets and clothing which the
skins of the reindeer yield. There is
no skin of any wild animal that sur
passes that of the reindeer for keeping
out the seventies of an Arctic winter.
A single skin wrapped around the
body of a man enables him to with
stand the rigors of climate as intense
as any that prevails in the Klondike.
On the coolest Arctic night the Lapp
and Samoijede find comfort and pleas
ure under the protecting covers of
reindeer clothing and blankets. The
same skins are utilized for mufflers
and gloves. In Russia the skins of
newborn fawns are in special demand
for glove making.

Chnnres in English People's Teeth.

Changes In English Peoples Teeth.
Education is playing sad havoc with
the teeth Of modern generations. SO
an experienced dentist in the West
End says, and he ought to know.
Formerly decayed teeth were gener-
ally attributed to q secret fondness for
bon-bons, but the idea is, it appears,
quite mistake. In fact, sugar is
rather nourishing than otherwise. The
truth is that the ancient sturdy, square
Jaw of the English race is changing,
through lessons and book learning, to
an angular or V shape, which presses
the molars one upon the other, does
not give them room to grow, and VIII,
in time, prevent some of them from
cutting at all. Indeed, this catas-
trophe is not infrequent already. In
many cases the original teeth are be-
coming less in number than they ought
to be, and often the "wisdomers' fail
to appear. This inan educated jaw y
is lamentable. The new facial form
is, according to the dentist, much cul-
tivated by ladies', who find that it is
popular among gentlemen. The latter
like women with the educated angle
of chin, which generally carries with
it pearly but very frail teeth. If the
specialist be right, this process OF
selection, aided by further lessons
and more study, will, in the course OF
time, produce race without any teetl
at all. Then will the dentists make
fortunes, for people will require com
plete artificial sets from babyhood on
ward.-London Telegraph.
