THE MISSOURI CYCLONE.
Probably the most picturesque figure in
the House is Champ Clark of Missouri.
Clean-faced, blue-eyed and natty in APP
pearance, he is quaint in delivery as are
his utterances. He has a clear, ringing
voice that gathers in strength as he
drives home the logic of each sentence.
He begins each paragraph well back in
a side aisle, and, burning with enthusi-
asm walks down the aisle toward the
speakers desk, clnching his proposition
twenty feet away from it, Every eye is
upon him. Rarely does any one interrupt
him. 1t would be dangerous, for Champ
is as apt at repartee as the speaker him
seef. and twice as blunt. His tropes,
metaphors and Smiles are sparkling and
quantity original. At times they arouse
uncomfortable merriment, but the resid-
uum develops thought, if not conviction.
Champ Clark has hoed his own way in
life. and has finally won national fame.
Although only AZ years old, he has
been a farmer a clerk in country
store, an editor of country newspaper,
country lawyer, a college president,
prosecuting attorney, a presidential cleo
tor a member of the Missouri legislature,
and a congressman. He sprang a surprise

Hendrix had woven anti-silver sentiments
into his tapestry of patriotism, and Champ
paralyzed the braves by deity drawing
them out and substituting sentiments that
foreshadowed the Chicago platform of
1895. From that day to the present he has
been an ardent advocate of free silver
and a devoted follower of Richard p.
Bland.
In the present House, however, he Will

matters involving Cuba and Hawaii. as he
is a member of the committee on foreign
affairs. His speeches are apparently I'M

heart. Impulsive, sympathetic, magnetic,
and absolutely fearless, he is a figure not
only picturesque, but one that may COM

A MOUNTAIN THUNDERSTORM
A figure equally as picturesque on the
republican side of the chamber is that of

Washington, Dec. 4.-Picturesque figures
in the House of Representatives make the
House itself picturesque and attractive.
And there will be plenty of picturesque
figures on exhibition during the present
session. They give life and fervor to
dreary discussion, and relieve the monot-
ony of legislation. A lively tilt in de-
bate is as refreshing as a rainstorm in
summer, when the soil is parched and
crops are languishing. Confirmed letter
writers in the House cease work. throw
themselves back in their chairs, stretch
their legs under their desks, and extract
the utmost enjoyment from the display.

Princess DOIGOrOul<i Comes to Her
Death I'm san Salvador.
From the Chicago Chronicle.

From the Chicago Chronicle.
Omaha, Neb., Nov. 2S-A letter has just
been received from an attache of the
United States legation at San Salvador by
James b. Haynes of Omaha which gives
details of startling affair.
In the early part of October, the letter
relates, Princess Dolgorouki handsome
and talented young woman, arrived in that
place from Guatemala. She was accom-
panied by Count de Castro, a Brazilian of
distinction. The opera house was en-
gagged, at which she was to give a high
class musicale. The authorities, discov-
ering that she had been exposed TO yell
low fever just before arriving, cancelled
their engagement.
She appealed to the French consul for
redress, Offering her passports at the same
time. They were signed by the mayor Of
Paris. The French charge daffairies der
sired TO know if she was divorced from the
prince, and, receiving a negative reply, re-
fused to render any assistance.
The princess was placed in temporary
confinement and on Oct. % was taken i'll
with what appeared to be yellow fever
She was at once conveyed to a common
pest house, where she died without medi-
cal aid or attendance. Oct Is the body
was cast into a hole, without the formality
of a funeral or a coffin. Her friends APP
! pear to have lost sight of her through the
| officials ignoring tnef protests ana the
French consul refusing to accord her any
| protection.
The rumors about the affair became ugly
| and the minister at Guatemala instructed
the French representative there 10 inves-
/ tigate the case and secure possession of
| the jewels and personal property Of the
| princess, which were valued a $4,000. Al
! the hotel where the unfortunate woman
/ had been stopping il was discovered that
the large personal property Of the dece-
| dent had completely disappeared. Later
her friends found some of the princess

themselves were the first ones to begin the
custom of trimming their places of wor-
ship on the birthday of their Saviour. Dur
ing His lifetime they noted His birthday
with such little tokens as they could find.
But after His cruciixion they made-such
as were left of them-a point of decorating
their meeting places until they were al
most beautiful.
The custom of decorating the church has
come down to us Strengthening in proper
ton year after year, until now it is poor
Christian place of worship that does not
boast the green and the holly. Many of
them show the mistletoe and great va
riety of winter leaves that are not con-
nected particularly with church thoughts.
The trouble of it is the extravaganza in
to which churches have plunged for their
decorations. Last winter one of the
prominent churches of New York declined
TO trim al all, and an announcement was
given out the Sunday previous that the
contributions for the Xmas decorations
would be spent for the poor. At the last
however a few of the young people got
together and twined the columns with ropes
of evergreens, which they themselves gath
cred at no cost.
The principal expense is for the flowers
which are stood around the altar in mag
nidcent profusion. The cost of these alone
mounts up as high as $1,000 in many of the
churches And after the floral cost comes
the expensive decoration Of the ceiling,
which must be put in place by a profess
sional florist
In'vew of the abundance of the autumn
fruits aud grains, 1t was proposed that this
Year they should be substituted for the
more expensive of the flowers, and several
oi the most prominent churches have

There is something sigularly appropri-

church decoration, because they are so

good reason to believe he would sane

SHOT IN THE PASSENGER DEPOT
John William jackson Paid 81 for
His CareleSSnesS.

John William jackson Paid 81 40 for
His Carelessness.
The discharge of a breech-loading
gun in the North room of the South
ern passenger depot, just before the
Mocksville train pulled out yesterday
afternoon, created considerable ex
citement for a few minutes among
those who were In and around the
depot.
The gun belonged to John William
Jackson, OF Davie county. He came
over to Winston yesterday and pur
chased the shooting iron from one of
our hardware dealers. He said it was
the first one he ever owned and that
he was just learning how to handle it
when it fired.
Several people were sitting in front
of Jackson when The gun went off
Fortunately he held the muZzle up
and the load entered the ceiling, tear
ing large and ugly hole in it. Ticket
Agent Pfohl and everybody else in
the depot hustled out on ''double
quick" time when they heard the gun
fire.
Policemen Frazier and May were at
| the depot at the time. The former
rushed in the room and called upon
Jackson for an explanation The
Davie man handed his gun to the
officer and began to tell him all about
| it, saying he was willing TO pay as
much as So rather than be delayed in
| attending Mayors Court. Mr. Frazier
| told him that the limit for shooting a
| gun in town was 81 40; that if he was
| willing to pay that amount he could
go on home. Jackson consented with
| out further argument and handed the
| officer a twenty dollar bill. Mr.
Frazier got the change from Mr.. Pfoh
| and in few minutes Jackson was or
| Capt. Hawkins train going towards
home. The officers say he had plenty
| of money and also carried a bottle o
whiskey in one of his coat pockets.
After paying his fine Jackson want
ed TO know what il would cost him Il
shoot again. "Only S7.40," replied
| Mr. Frazier
