A Change in His Queen.

A captain in a regiment stationed at
Natal, when paying his company one
day, CHANGED to give man Trans
wall half-crown, which, as one would
naturally expect, bears ''the image and
subscription" of President Kruger.
The man brought it back to the pay
table and said to the captain: please,
sir, you've given me a bad half
crown"
The officer took the coin, and, with
out looking at it, rung it on the table,
and then remarked: cit sounds all
right, Bagster. What's wrong with
it?''
"You luke at it, SIR was the reply.
The captain glanced at the coin,
saying: cts all right, man; it will
pass in the canteen."
This apparently satisfied Bagster,
who walked off making the remark:
eff you say it's a right, sir, it is a.
right; but it's the first time I've seen
the queen wi whiskers on!"-An'
swers.

TALE OF TWO CITIES.
How Savannahians Are About To Be Hoise
by Their Own Patard

How Savannahians Are About To Be Hoise
by Their Own Potard
A special to the Constitution from
Brunswick says:
"Brunswick politicians and business
men are viewing with something akin
to amazement Savannah's protest
against John Fl. Deveaux for collector
of customs at Savannah. According
to most reliable information, Deveaux
was strongly and heartily Endorsed
several years ago for the Brunswick
custom house by the leading business
organizations of Savannah. 1t is
stated that the Savannah cotton ex
change members, now Directing TO
Deveaux at Savannah, were the most
potent influences in securing his APP
pointment to the Brunswick Office.
at is fact that Deveaux has now
in his possession the strongest possible
Endorsements that Sayannah's business
men could write for his appointment
as collector at Brunswick, a port rank
ing next to Savannah as the largest
naval store port in the world, and one
that does annually over $20,000,000
worth of exporting.
at seems unreasonable to suppose
that these Savannah Endorsements for
Brunswick will not now aid Devesux
in his fight for SAVANNAH. Morally,
and in every other way except financial
prominence, Deveaux ranks the high
est in the colored race in this section
of Georgia. He is regarded here as q
sure winner, and Savannah's own in
dorsements will land him."

farmers Wife,

-
Shortly after noon yesterday an unknown
man attempted to assault Mrs. Paulfna
Fenske, the wife Of German farmer liv-
Ing In Schiller Park, suburb of Chicaro
and was shot to death by the enraged hus-
band and posse of farmers.
After dinner Mr.. Fenske left his homo
and went to farm about two miles dis.
tent. Soon after he left a strange man
walked into the house and asked Mrs
Fenske for something to eat. He was
roughly dressed and had paint stains on
his clothes, and presumably was a tramp
painter. Seeing Mrs. Fenske and her four
little children were alone, the tramp
seized the woman. striking her over the
head with the butt Of his revolver. The
terrified children fed from the house and
alarmed the neighbors.
A posse of farmers, headed by Mr.
Fenske. secured weapons and hurried back
just in time to see Mrs. Fenske's assaiIant
chase, amid a hisillade of shots on both
sides, that led through cornfeIds and
woods. lasting half an hour. Just a. the
tramp was going through another corn

found on his body to indicate who he was.

woman, was almost a match for her as
sailant. and received but a few bruises
in the struggle.

AGNEw NAMES THE COMMITTEE.
of virginia State Republic

Chairman Of Virginia State Republic
can Committee ON the Situation.
Park Agnew, chairman of the republican
party of Virginia. who was elected to sue
coed Col. William Lamb, in an interview
in Lynchburg yesterday as to his position
and the future policy of the party under
his leadership said that it was with the
greatest reluctance he had consented to
accept, even temporarily, the position of
state chairman, but that the unanimity Of
the demand upon him left no alternative.
He regretted that Col. Lamb did not
avoid the conditions which would seem to
indicate that there was any serious trouble
or division within the party organiza-
ton by rendering his resignation instead Of
leaving the committee to take action on
against him; that 1t was a significant fact
that on the vote for or against the re-
Toval of Col. Lamb only one and frac-
ton out of the thirty members at the COM
mittee meeting voted against his removal,
and that the two proxies casting this vote
expressed, before the meeting, their ~con-
viction that Col. Lamb was not proper
person to hold the position Of chairman,
but merely questioned the policy Of his
removal at the present time.
In response to question as to the result
of Col. Lambs calling state convention,
Mr.. Agnew said that there was no power
to prevent any individual from taking that
course, but he was fully satisfied from
assurance given him by those present who
favored convention that the local Or
CARNATIONS of the party. as well as its
rank and file, would submit loyalty to the
action of the state committee, even though
they might not concur in the Judgment of
the state committee itself.
Referring to the direction that he should
appoint committee to act in concert with
the executive committee to determine the
policy of the party in any contingency
which may arise, Mr.. Agnew said he had
just completed his selection by appointing
the following members of the state COM
mittee:
First district-Josephus Trader.
Second district-James I. Mitchell.
Third district-W. G. Singleton.
Fourth district-A. w. Harris.
Fifth district-B. 8. Pedigo.
Sixth district-W. H. Mosby.
