THE BIOGRAPH AT WILLARD HALL.
The management of the biograph an
nounces that the coming week will in all
probability end the present season in this
city and also an unusually strong list of
views for the closing week. The United
States Electric Company has repaired the
damage done in the fire last week, which
compelled the boSraph to discontinue its
exhibitions for four days, and now the en-
tertanments are running at the regular
nouns. The reduction in the price of adj
mission seems to have met with public APP
prevail, as the attendance has been very
large since the reduction. Exhibitions will
be given daily at go. 40 and a special
Sunday evening entertainment at $50.

Free shines Will be a thing of the past in
Chicago after December 10. The bootblacks
of the business district, after many weeks
of hard work. have secured the pledges of
all the downtown shoe dealers to quit
shining shoes for nothing on the date men

arrange for the parade were appointed at
the Daily News building. A. ]. Metzel.
president OF the Cutler Shoe Company, told
the boys that the shoe dealers, by giving
free shines. had educated 100000 people to
professional bootblacks. The dealers were
now going to give the boys the benefit of
this experience. A resolution was adopted
used shine tickets heretofore issued by

The GOrdOn's Tune.
From the Buffalo Express.


Cock OF the North" the famous tune
which inspired the Gordon Highlanders to
victory at Dargai Ridge on October 20, and
which Piper Milne played as he sat propped
against a rock with a bullet through each
leg, has been the especial tune Of the regi-
ment almost since its founding. The piece
derives its name from the Duke of Gordon,
who was known as the Cock of the North.
1t is ordinarily played as a strathspey Tor
dancing, but when the time is quickened
according to military requirements, it
makes dashing pibroch. Various incorrect
statements have been made concerning the
composition of the Gordon Highlanders
This famous regiment, which with several
other Scotch and Irish troops has always
had the honor of being put forward when
the stoutest fighting is necessary, consists
of three battalions, all of Aberdeenshire.
The first, which was the original Gordon
Highlanders, is the 10Th Foot and came
into existence about a century ago. When
the territorial titles were assigned to regi-
ments, the 92d Foot. also from Aberdeen
shire, was made the second battalion of the
Gordon Highlanders. The third battalion
is the Aberdeenshire militia,

from his trip to the hospital al Phil

told him that there was no danger of
his injured arm shortening his life.
A picture was taken Of the bones III
his shoulder by means of the X-rays,
and it was found that the scapula had
grown to the arm bone. This Of
course stiffens the arm at the shoulder
but does not interfere with the elbow
movement. The TINES, in common

it is nothing serious.

THOS. ". BROWN

Speaking of assistants. Tom
Brow, of Maryville, and again this
is not "ofhcial", has begged, or
borrowed the seven. league boots
in his race for assistant district at
torney, and if he doesn't win he will
be close company for the man who
does, judging by his endorsements.
Blount county has fairly Surprised her
staid old self in ranging to her
support and Little River and the
Chilhowee mountains are hand-ln-
glove in his behalf.
Blount is at one end of the district
and Morgan at the other and as
Blount has had no high federal off,
cial for long time, II ever, that and
Tom Browns popularity makes a
strong combination.
The above is part
of las. F. Rules letter to the
Knoxville Journal and from the way
it reads we and all the friends of Mr..
Brown believe that he will get the
appointment as Assistant District
Attorney for the Eastern Division of
Tennessee. If he does it well be a
qualification, not only to his friends
in Blount County, but to his many
friends throughout the state. 1t will
be an honor worthily bestowed as
there is no harder worker for the
principal, of repubicanism.
