was to shot in the betting.
A poor start worked the defeat of the

mile and furlong run. Charley Thorpe
had the leg up and just as the barrier
shot upward was cut off and passed the
stand way back in the ruck. Hazard at

Suicide in an Unusual Way.

Montgomery, Ala, July 30. Mrs.
Matte Monroe, beautiful young wo-
man and bride of few months, COM
mitted suicide in most horrible fash
ion at Athens yesterday.
She was daughter of Col James j.
Gordon, of Athens, and was married
few months ago to an excellent young
business man Of Decatur and was ap-
parently very happy.
A few weeks ago she went to Athens
to visit her father and his family. Af-
ter her arrival, for some unacoountable
reason, she became despondent, and
yesterday, in the absence of the other
members of the family, she secured
some prusic acid, emptied lot of
broken glass, needles, pins and fishing
hooks into it and swallowed the horri-
BILE mixture.
Physicians endeavored to do some
thing for her, but could give her no re
lief and she died in fearful agony after
lingering few hours.

Strange InfatuatiOn of a Child.

Jackson, KY, July 3O,-A strange
case of the infatuation of child for an
enormous rattlesnake has just come to
light in q neighhorhood few miles
east of town in this county. J. 7. Cas-
tie is farmer, and his little daughter,
Annie, is five years old. Every morn
ing for the past six weeks the daughter
begged her parents for tumbler of
milk and bread, saying she wished to
go to an old shed not far from the
dwelling to eat her breakfast. The
childish whim was gratitied as regular
ly as it was made, but recently the fa-
ther watched the little one and made
discovery which raised the hair on his
head. Near the shed is large, dilap-
idated chimney. The child was found
in the fireplace of the old chimney, in
a sitting position, with Q huge rattle
snake in her lip and feeding it with the
milk and bread from o teaspoon. The
snake was partaking of the food with a
relish, while the little one stroked its
coils with her tiny hands and called it
her dolly Enough was learned that
she had been feeding the snake for a
long time The father, horror-stricken,
dispatched the snake at once, which
incurred vigorous remOnstrance from
his daughter, who cried as if her heart
would break. Every morning at the
accustomed hour of feeding the snake
she gives way to pitiful lamentations
over the loss of her playmate, and at
times II is difficult to sooth her. The
snake was five feet four inches in
length, and had nine rattles. The story
is vouched for by number of neigh
bors Of Mr.. Castle, who have talked
with the child.

Looking South.

1t would be interesting to know how
many persons from the north have
found homes in the south since the
war. If statistics were available they
would show the number to be very
large. Many thousands have left the
northern and eastern states to find
homes in the more hopitable southern
slime, where the great majority of them
have prospered. The the north and
east the south is indebted for many of
its most worthy and valuable citizens.
There is room, and welcome, for more
and each year is adding to the num-
Der. The south offers better advantages
to worthy homeseekers than any sec
tiOn of this great country, and this fact
is becoming more generally known and
better understood. The tide of immi-
grafton to the west is changing to the
south. The northwest is now furnish

The Feminine Influence.

William Dean Howells, in discussing
"The Modern American Mood" in the
July Harper's, pays fine tribute to
the influence of woman in the national
life. He says on this point:
"Shall go a little farther and say
that this American world of thought
and feeling shows the effect, beyond
any other world, OF the honor paid to
wOmanP 1t is not for nothing that we
have privileged women socially and
morally beyond other people; if we
have made them free. they have used
their freedom to make the whole ma
tiOnal life the purest and best of any
that has ever been. Our women are in
rare degree the keepers of our con-
sciences; they influence men here as
women influence men nowhere else ON
earth, and they qualify all our feeling
and thinking, all our doing and being.
If our literature at its best, and our
art at its best, has grace above all the
American thing In literature and art, it
is because the grace of the moral world
where our women rule has impaired it.
self to the intellectual world where
men work. When it shall touch the
material world to something of its own
tineness, and redeem the gross business
world from the low ideals which govern
it, then indead we shall have the mil
lennium in plain sight.
Southern people are better able to
understand and appreciate this state
ment than those of any other portion
of the country. In ante-bellum days
the Difference shown to woman in the
South was q characteristic always noted
by the traveller. In those days woman
was being higher than man, and the
ladies of equality" in the Southern
home were reverenced by all the slaves
as we'll as the master. Altered social
conditions have somewhat changed the
relation between man and woman. The
rapid developmentof the country andfhe
eager quest for money, the impoverish-
ment of the once wealthy, and the en-
richment of the once poor, have COM
PEELED women to go to work in this
part of the world as in all other parts
of the world. The result is not a less
regard for woman there is less ideali-
zation of woman than then, but there
is better understanding of her nature.
Surely the woman who honorably
strives for a living is entitled to as
much respect as the one who has been
favored by fortune and the influence
for good of the former is felt as strong
ly and as powerfully today as that OF
the latter. 1t can be put down as a
rule that where morality and right are
involved in public questions women
can be found on that side. But the
whole American nation has cause to be
proud of their women. From the days
of Hester Paynne in Puritanical New
England to the present there has been
no condonement of women who erred.
The American woman is still the pride
and toast Of her eountrymen and is
without pear in Christendom. Nash

knowns, as any other sensible man

in the interest of about s per cent of
