DEMOCRATS DIVIDED.
De Almond Leads n Revolt Against
Bailey in the House.

De Almond Leads n Revolt Against
Bailey ia the House.
Washington, April 14.-The House was in
session but ten minutes to-day, and then
adjourned until Saturday, without trans
acting any business. The session was long
enough, however, to furnish occasion for
a display of the division among the dem
ocratic members which the recent caucus
had not been able to heal In this divi-
sion, Mr. DeArmond of Missouri appeared
as the leader of the opposition to the lead
ership of Mr.. Bailey.
As soon as the journal had been read,
Mr. Dingley made a motion that when the
House adjourn it be until Saturday Mr..
DeArmond and Mr.. Simpson Immediately
demanded a division. The vote on the mo-
ton was 131 to 49, Mr.. Bailey and his fol-
lowers voted with the republicans, while
Mr.. DeArmond and other democrats and
ocrats refrained from taking sides, while
those who rose for the division seemed
about equally divided on the question.
Mr.. DeArmond, Mr.. Terry of Arkansas,
and other democrats, tried to secure a yea
and nay vote, but only 81 members sup
ported the demand, which was not a suf-
ficient number. AS soon as the House had
adjourned the democrats gathered in
groups, discussing their policy with great
earnestness.

PARIS EXPOSITION OF 1880.
Congress Urged TO Provide For This
Governments Representation.

Congress Urged to Provide For This
Governments Representation.
Washington. April 1.-THE President
to-day sent the following message to con-
gress, urging 1t to make suitable provis-
ion for adequate representation of the
United States at the Paris exposition.
ITO the Senate and House of Represen-
tatives: 1 transmit herewith for the con-
slderation of the respective houses of the
congress a report of the Secretary Of State
representing the appropriateness of early
action, In order that the government Of
the United States may be enabled to ac-
cept the invitation of the French republic
to participate in the Universal EXPOSE
ton to be held in Paris in 1900.
The recommendations Of this report
have my most cordial Endorsement, and
urge upon congress such timely provision
for this great international enterprise as
will fittngly respond to the widely testi-
fed wish and expectation of our inventors
and producers, that they may have ade-
quate opportunity again, as in the past
TO fortify their important positions they
have won in the worlds competitive fields
Of discovery and industry Nor are the
traditional friendships of the United States
and France, and the mutual advantages
TO accrue from their enlarged commercial
intercourse, less important factors than
the individual interests to be fostered by
renewed participation in great French
exposition, especially when it IL remem-
bered that the present display is projected
with degree of completeness and on a.
scale Of magnificence beyond any of the
European exhibitions that have marked
the close of the century
1T Is proper that l should emphasize
the need of early action, for II the present
session passes without suitable provision
being made, the postponement Of the mat
ter for nearly a year longer could not but
operate greatly to the disadvantage Of the
United States, in view OF the elaborate pre-
parations already making by other gov
ernments and of the danger that further
delay may result in an adequate allotment
OF space TO this country. as well as an
incomplete organization Of the American
exhibit William Mckinley"
Secretary Sherman, In his report, urges
that II the United States Is to be fittinglv
represented. steps should be taken TO in
sure such representation by making the
necessary appropriation. He SAYS: 'aI-he
purpose Of the government of the French
republic now Is to make the forthcoming
exposition the most notable OF the century

MANY great names are given Of men who

for his abstalning IL found In the fact that
his patron, King James /, was one of the
earliest anti-tobacconists. Ben Jonson
was a smoker. Napoleon once said that
tobacco smoking was habit only mt TO

Among other famous men who are mem

Bismarck, Lord Brougham, Mr.. Spurgeon,
Emerson. Carlisle Huxley. Victor Hugo,
Bulwer Lytton. Tennyson, Gibbon, Charles
Kingsley. Dickens and Thackeray on
the other hand many great men have been
opposed 10 the use Of The weed. Some Of
these were Voltaire. Rousseau Mirabeau,
and Swlnburne. who Is quoted as saying:

who says that tobacco has made more

Rome, Ga. April H.-The report Of the
special auditor, Max Meyerhardt. in the
case of Floyd county's embezzling ex-
county school commissioner, William w.

Of Bridges from January. 1894, until he
was suspended from office. OF this S34.-
9es. p was legally paid out by Bridges,
leaving a deficit Of A.1O1 40. Bridges
claims ST. 10 of this amount was over-paid
TO teachers. The board OF education ad-
mitted $846.16 really overpaid teachers.
The auditor finds that G.. II. Braden and
Z. r. Price are not liable as sureties on
the bond of Bridges, because the same
was not signed by them. nor authorized
TO be signed IN legal manner. The au-
ditor finds that John NJ. Vandlver, c. II.
Clements and W. G. Foster deceased, are
liable as sureties on Bridges bond. The
