All interestingly in regard to Haw-
thorne is that he was not only shy, but
very reserved. Frank Preston Stearns
says that on the occasion of Haw-
thorne's last visit to the Isles of Shoals,
in company with his friend, eX-Presi-
dent Pierce, there was also party Of
New Hampshire business men who
tried to make his acquaintance, but
without much success. Their after COM

any one could go up and speak to him.

This conversation was repeated to Haw-
thorne's acquaintance at the Shoals,
and the poet Whittier was among those
who laughed heartily. Reserved is no
word for it," said Mrs. ThaXter, and
Whittier added, in words which not
only seemed to describe the case, but
we're in themselves epigrammatic:

BALTIMORE July 12.-Elmer c. Davis,
of this city, Sunday succeeded in
breaking the American 94-hour bicycle
record which was held by Henry
Smith, also of Baltimore Davis cover
ed 316 miles in the "a hours ending at
5 pm. Sunday afternoon. which is
just two miles more than Smiths
record breaking performance of May
9 last over the same course. Although
breaking the 24-hour record, Davis did
not succeed in getting any of the
smaller records that have been made
by Smith. Davis riding of the last 100
miles is regarded as q wonderful exhil
bition of nervous energy. He is %

ComnIete Shut down.

PITTSBURGH, Pa, July 9.-It is safe
to say that the amount of coal dug
Thursday on the Wheeling division of
the Baltimore & Ohio railroad would
not fill one fat car Such a complete
shut down as exists in this district so
soon after the inauguration IF the
strike is admittedly a surprise to the
people living il that section. A num-
Der of miners were at work Wednes-
day, the majority of them in the pits
of the Pittburgh &c Chicago Gas Coal
Co. at Snowde.i and Gastonville, but
Thursday it is doubtful ii the diggers
at work along the whole line would

it had the requisite appearance of age
and ill usage.
YOU'RE an, artist, Fench!" was the
lawyers admiring comment when the
paper was handed back for inspection
Nobody will ever suspect now that it
isn't as old as it claims to be. Wonder
if 1 could find old Squire Pragmore to-
night?"
Perhaps" said the manager, wash
ing the CRIME from his hands "While
you're hunting him I'll write to New
York"
Sharpless came back in a few min
utes and threw the forged deed on the
table.
That's settled" he said. when it's
recorded We'll destroy it,
did Pragmore object?" inquired
Fench, looking up from his letter.
HE baked a little at first, but I've
given him lot of business in the last
two weeks, and $50 fee was too much
for him."
A week later Lawyer Sharpless called
at Judge Wilkinson's office in the court
house and asked for the Kilgrow-Cates
deed. He took the paper that was given
him and put it into his pocket without
examining it further than to glance at
the judge of probate's certificate of rec
ord. Being by this time burdened with
many matters of greater Importance, he
did not think of it again until evening,
when he took it out with some other
papers in the Office of the Mountain
house. A cold rain had been falling
during the day and a wood fire was
blazing in the fireplace. Sharpless
singled the deed out of the bunch of
papers and thrust it between the logs,
ignoring the summons to supper until
he had seen the crisp cinders whirled
up the chimney in winding sheet of
flame. Then he went to the dining-room
and took his seat opposite Fench at the
table reserved for their use.
One morning. not many weeks later,
Allacoochee the inert became a thing
of the past. A many-handed demon of
activity had suddenly invaded the peace
full valley, transforming it into dusty
battlefield whereon labor pitted itself
against chaos. Snorting locomotives
rumbled back and forth with trains of
building material. Shouting teamsters
guided the plows whose burrows
marked the lines of new streets or

ions of laborers establishing the grade.

Mr.. Harris had, when he was elected
to the national house of representa-
tives, already become man of state
reputation in Tennessee, having the
year previously served as presiden-
tial elector on the democratic ticket
and two years before been elected a
member of the legislature of the state.
Mr.. Harris represented the Ninth
Tennessee district in congress for two
terms, ending in 1853, when he declin-
ed denomination. He then moved
to Memphis, where he has since resid-
ed. Here he was engaged in the prac-
tice of law until 1857, with the inter-
ruption necessary to allow him to be-
come a presidential elector in 1856. He
was three times in succession
before the war, b eginning in
1857, elected governor of his state,
and was serving in that capacity when
the war broke out. He took pro-
nounced stand for the southern con-
federacy and was known as one OF the
southern war governors. The vicissi-
tudes of conflict rendered a frequent
change of residence necessary and he
was often with the army in the field.
He attached himself at different times
to the stats of Gems Albert Sidney
Johnston, Joseph E. Johnston, Beau
regard and Bragg. Albert Sidney
Johnston fell from his horse into Sena-
tor Harris arms when he received his
death wound.
After Lees surrender, Mr.. Harris
was one of small party of political
refugees who escaped to Mexico, going
across country on horseback. Parson
Brownlow, who had been the military
governor OF Tennessee. offered a large
reward in a Enthusiastically worded
poster for the capture of his predeces-
sor, but the latter remained absent
from the country until his return was
safe. He remained in Mexico for sew
eral months, going thence to England,
where he remained until 1867. when he
returned to Memphis and resumed his
practice of the law.
Mr. Harris was allowed to follow the
pursuits of the private citizen until
1877 when he was elected to the United
States senate, defeating Hon. L. L.
Hawkins, republican. He has re-
manned a member of the senate ever
since and would have completed his
twentieth consecutive year in that body
on the fourth of next March if he
had lived to that date. He had been
four times elected to the senate, the
last time in 1895, and his term would
not have expired until 1901
The remains will lie in state in the
marble room of the senate on Satur-
urday morning and during the after
noon funeral services will be held in
the senate chamber Accompanied by
committees OF the senate and house,
the body will be taken to Memphis
leaving here after the senate cere-
monies.
On Monday the remains will lie in
state for few hours at Nashville.
Interment will be in the Elmwood
cemetery at Memphis.

"Good enoughi Tell him he can't get
a locomotive into Allacooehee any too
quick to please us now. Have drink,
and put some cigars in your pocket to
smoke on the way"
When the messenger left the room
Sharpless leaned back in his chair and
put his hands in his pockets. 'The
Jethro deal cleans it all up excepting
the title to the Gates tract" he said.
II suppose we might as we'll fix that
now as any time. Have you got blank
deed?'
Fench rummaged in his pockets for
the paper. "Where's Gates deed to
s?" he asked.
''Here it is" Sharpless said, handing
| it across the table. Better change the
wording little, so it won't look sus-
picious."

Fench wrote rapidly for few mo-
ments, pausing when he came to the
date snake it about May 20, 1885"
The lawyer made rapid calculation
in dates. "Yes, that'n do. AS nearly
as can locate it, the raid on the moon
! sinners was made in June or July of
that year; it'll be safe enough to call it
the Goth of May"
Fench went on writing, and presently
handed the two deeds to Sharpless.
''How will that do?"
That's about it, replied the attor-
ney. 81 wonder if the old moonshiner
would recognize his signature

do about the notary's acknowledge
ment?"
"Tll fix that. I've been making my
self solid with an old fellow across the

hurt him, but he is a notary public
He'll doit-for consideration-and he
won't be too particular about the exact

81 don't mean to make the expert
ment; shall simply tell him that Gates
has had this deed kicking about the
house all these years without having il
recorded"
''Oh, that's the scheme, is it?" said
Fench, screwing up one eye until all
the craftiness in both seemed to peer
out of the other. "Give me that deed a
minute"
He went to the fireplace, and, taking g
| pinch of SCOT, rubbed it into his hands
until they were black and grimy. Then
he folded and crumpled the deed until

of brick and stone al,d lumber into
stately buildings which seemed to
spring up out of the red soil as if by
magic. And into the midst of the clam
orous turmoil the daily passenger trains
soon began to pour their crowds of ad-
venturers and investors to submerge
the single street of the old town and to
elbow and jostle the bewildered ma
tives as they fought for accommoda-
tions at the Mountain house or strug-
gled for standing room around the tenn
porary rostrum from which Mr.. Fench
dispensed bargains in real estate to the
highest bidder.
And so began the new era in ALA

How 1t Happened That the Pretty Girls
Musical Talents Reacted Against Her.
She was visiting in the city, and she
was the prettiest girl in the ROOM
When she stood up to sing the other
girls regarded her enviously. A pretty
girl who can sing is doubly dangerous,
and they considered that the visitor had
already received more than her proper
share of masculine attention.
While she was arranging her music
and whispering to the accompanist the
two girls just behind the piano were ex-
changing condolences.
81 do think it's shame" said the
first girl, vexedly. 'She's captured all
the men already with her airs and
graces, and if she sings well-and l
just know she does-we won't have a
bit of fun tonight"
80, yes, we WILL" answered the sec
ond girl, smiling happily. We'll be
all right"
But the other wasn't to be so easily
consoled.
Il wonder who asked her to sing?''
she fretted. "It must have been some
one who knows all about her little
tricks. too, for all the girls in the club
are talking about it,
81 asked her. said the second girl,
calmly. you'll know why in min
ute. just wait bit"
Two minutes later the first girl
leaned over the other and touched her
arm.
''Why, she makes awful faces" she
whispered, delightedly. "She's posi-
lively ugly when she opens her mouth
that way"
81 know it," responded the second
| girl, with a satisfied smile That's
why I asked her to sing"
"You clever darling!" exclaimed the
first girl; and only the fact that there
were others present kept them from
| hugging each other as they urged the
visitor to sing again.-Chicago Tribune

THE CONTEST FOR MR.. BROUS-
SARD'S SEAT.

Judge Beattie has served o notice of
contest on the Hon. r. F. Broussard
for his seat III the 55th Congress. At
the close of the last election, the con-
sensns o: opinion ID this district Was
that the election had been IA fair and
honest as it ia possible to hold n
anywhere ; hence the general surprises
that the defeated candidate for con-
gress at that election should rot only
contest l,is successful competitors seat
but that he should alao allrge frand
and Irregularities by the Wholesale
throughout the district, and without
excepting any official connected with
the election.
Til. gsonuds Of the Judges cOnteat
are q qualifications to he enumerated
herein ; suffice it tn say, that if these
general cl,aIges If fraud and irregn
~larties applied to all the parishes with
ont distin alton, have M more tOunda-
tiOh in Truth III regard To other parish
es than they hayn in regard to this,
then the whole contest il mere bratum

author.
The Judges first ground Of contest
ia as to the uncunstituti0nality of the
law-under which the election was held
! Suppnse the law be unconstitutional,
cai bono? The people have submitted
to it, and have participated in the
electien ofs presidential electors and
c%ongressn,en under il, without protest,
and where is the harmf Nay, more ;
the Judge himself has a~cquiesced in it ;
submitted his claims to the people un
der the very law ; accepted the jury

with i'll grace after verdict about the

ponent in an honorable contest under

t%otious, it is fair 10 presume he would
have accepted the fruits of victory ;
having suffered defeat, it seems IN
generous, not to say unfair, to raise the
cOnstitutionality of the law to deprive

The SENTINEL bears Judge Beattle

least doubt of his having been fairly
and squarely beaten in the last cleo
ton, it would not have u word to say
against his present contest, but. on the
