disease, and orders are given that cars,

PHILADELPHIA, June 21.-The monu-
ment erected to the memory of Harry
Wright, the Father of Baseball, was
unveiled in West Laurel Hill cemetery

TENNESSEE STATE NEWS
Awarded S53,333.

The United States Court of Claims in
its recent session at Washington has
heard the echo of a Memphis occurrence
during the war, and as result of this
the Overton Hotel Company has gotten
an award from the court for-S53, 333.
During the early days of the war the
Overton Hotel, which is now the county
courthouse, was rapidly nearing COM
pletiOn, but it had never been used for
a hotel at the time of the first figb ting
in this section of the country. 1t was a
large new building, and during the first
portion of the war the Confederates
used it for hospital for the sick and
wounded. Memphis fell into the hands
OF tho enemy on June 5, 1S62, and on
the first of the following year the Fed
erals seem to have commenced using
the Overton Hotel building for their
hospital. At any rate, the award made
recently covered the time between
January 1, 1868, and September /, 1865.

Hidden Treasure Craze.

4 farmer named Roberts, who died some
years ago, and who lived near Glen
Alice, on the Cincinnati Southern road,
had buried largo amount of money,

Cincinnati Southern railroad while it
was being built through to Chattanooga.
An old and respectable woman named
Helen Hartbarger lives on the place
formerly occupied by Roberts. Last

from the place. She resisted, and the

Saloouists Liable,

Under the charge of Judge Estill, a
jury at Chattanooga last week returned
a verdict for 81, 500 damages in favor OF
widow against firm of liquor dealers
for selling liquor to her husband, who
was a confirmed drunkard, after notice
from her. The evidence tended to show
that whisky was the immediate cause
of death, the testimony of the at
tending physician being that the man
came to his death from alcoholism.
This is said to be the first recovery
known under the act authorizing this
action.

determination on the island is an
appalling, actual fact. The death rate
is actually increasing. A prominent

knowledge of the interior, says that
should the war be prolonged Is

The rains have turned the interior

fever and dysentery. Little of the small

sight thousands of pacificos might
easily have been saved by vaccination.
a san culinary engagement occurred
Wednesday at Managua, Is miles
from Havana. The insurgents attacked
a column of Spanish and the latter
lost heavily. The details were sup
pressed here. Many ambulances with
wounded have arrived here.
The rebels are certainly concentrat-

fired into repeatedly. A Spanish force,
while accommodating, was ambushed
near San Miguel. They fought brave
ly, but were compelled to retire.
Gen. Rivera is sick and appears in

suredly be shot, unless strong action is

He Has weaned EN- Now.

He Has Weaned EN- Now.
'But let me tell you, Rufe, I'll be ever
lastingly gummed up if 1 haven't put
the final fiXments on EN- this year. The
tramps haven't lost anything around
our house here lately, and there amt
blame thing on my place now which a
tramp needs in his business. They do
come pillagin and pirootin around oncst
in awhile, but dadblame EN-, they don't
tarry and remain over with US this
summer any to speak of.
How did 1 manage, and what have L
done? Along in the fall of last year
I didn't do a blame thing but take all
the field hands out and split IA cords of
oak and hickory wood. Then had the
wood all stacked upin one long, high pile
out there by the well in the back yard.
l didn't put the wood there to cut it up
and make fires with it indurin of the
winter time, you understand. l pat it
there for the tramps. We had the blazin
good fires all right, but [ give out gen
eral orders that nobody mustn't cut
marry blessed stick of wood outen that
big pile 1t didn't belong to me any
more. It was stacked up there for
the tramps.
'And, now, Rufe, you would laugh
and laugh till you could just naturally
fall down and walIow in it if you could
see the tremendous movin influence
which that big pile of hard, seasoned
oak and hickory wood can bring to
bear upon a pair of able-bodied
tramps. When they come up to
the front gate and want a bite
of something to eat, all have got
to do is to tell em all right and send
'em around to the kitchen. The minnit
they pass around the corner of the house
and catch sight of that accord pile
of wood, with two good axes layin
around convenient, burned if they don't
fall over one another cleanin up ana
gettin away from there. 1t is worse
than dost of high life or sperits OF
turpentine.
Some two or three weeks ago pair
of the boys passed along the railroad,
and one left the main line and come by
our house to draw their Tations. AS
usual, 1 sent him on arourd to the
kitchen, but he never got that far.
Blamed if it didn't look like ne would
faint at the very sight of our wood pile.
Then it would seem like he took curva-
ture of the spine, and the latest flying
machine is nothin, Rufe, to the move
ment which he took unto himself as
soon as he recovered sufficiently to re-
sumo business. In his big hurry to abb
scatulate he didn't take time toopen the
front gate, and he snaggled a duplex
concurve in the seat of his breeches as
he went over the picket fence and made
dark streak down the big road.
Tell the news, Rufe-tell it to every
body-and let long-sufferin humanity
understand henceforwards that for
weanin tramps there is nothin like
few cords of wood stacked up close TO
the kitchen, 1t Il dead shot-kill or
