Colonel Mosby and the virginians.

Said Virginia politician recently:
Poetry may be losing its hold on some
people. but it is still pretty strong in
Virginia. A happy quotation from Byron
recently made capital for Colonel John
s. Mosby all over the state. When it
was announced that Colonel Mosby
would apply to President Mckinley for
an Office, some of his old opponents
opened fire on him again for going over
to the Republicans after the war and
particularly for his always cordially ex-
pressed admiration for General Grant.
It was rather poor business, and for a
time Colonel Mosby paid no attention to
it, but finally, when the hope was ex-
pressed that if appointed he would not
be credited to Virginia, the colonel pre-
pared card in reply, and it appeared in
the newspapers. He reviewed briefly his
career as soldier and citizen, stood by
his guns and reminded his opponents
that he was no longer citizen of the
state. He would abide by the record, he
said. He had done his duty, and if Vir
ginia chose to reject him let her, sale
he, quoting from 'Childe Harold
"Lift the laurels on q loftier brow
And be the Spartan epitaph on me-
Sparta hath many worther son than he
"Do you know, the colonel's grit ant
his poetry caught the popular feeling
and the attacks on him ceased. A shor
| time after that came the accident t.
Colonel Mosby at Charlottesville, which
cost him an eye, and sympathy was ex
pressed for him in every quarter. Tn
Virginians like sentiment, and that bi
from Byron, grittily applied, did tn
| work for Mosby's enemies. "-Nev

Inquest on "A Small Dead Dog.

An inquest was held recently before
Judge Stiner in New York to determine
the cause of the death of Cliquot, q
blue and tan terrier which persisted I'M
der suspicious circumstances on Feb. 2
at the age of a months. The proceed
ing took the form of a suit for 500 dam
ages, brought by Burton Harley, Gil
quot's owner, against Samuel X. john
son, the proprietor of the New York
Veterinary hospital.
Mr. Harley, who was once a min
strel, but now raises dogs, said that
Cliquot's appetite fell off in February
and an eruption broke out on him. He
took him to the hospital, where DIR. Ro-
senkranz gave him prescription con-
tanning arsenic, opium and two ounces
of nux vomica He was directed to give
the pup three spoonfuls day of the
mixture. The druggist advised him to
give only half dose. He administered
half a spoonful. Cliquot was seized
with tremors, and in one minute was
dead Harley thinks the medicine did
it. The defense contended that distem-
per caused death. New York Herald.

st. Bernard Dog Commits Suicide.

A fine St. Bernard dog was run over by
car on recent evening at Jacksonville
Fla, and had both hind feet cut off. The,
dog was valued at $500, was one Of the
largest of its kind and great fayorite with
the children of the neighborhood. The cir
cumstances attending the occurrence mate
rally strengthen the arguments of those
who hold to the theory that animals COM
NIT suicide.
The st. Bernard deliberately got on the
track as the car approached, despite the
efforts of a large mastiff, which almost lost
his life in trying to prevent the act. When
the car came in sight, the st. Bernard
started TO walk toward the track, and the
mastiff sank its teeth in the collar about,
its neck and attempted to drag it back.
The st. Bernard was the stronger OF the
two, however and slowly pulled the other
toward the rail When the car was almost
on top of them, the mastiff released it's
grip and gave a plantive howl. An in
slant later the companion that its sagacity
failed to save was bumped by the car, and,
the wheels passing over it, severed both
feet as If done by knife Several eyewit-
nesses say that IL was the most remarkable
occurrence they ever saw. A gentleman
bound up the dogs stumps with rags, and
it dragged itself home, but was afterward
shot. New York Telegram.

EAGLE KILLS A WOMAN.
Was Working In Her Garden When the
Bird Attacked Fer.

Mrs. Jane Mortenson was attacked by n.
great golden eagle in the suburbs Of Honey
Creek, Ia, recently, and so badly injured,
and frightened that she expired from tho
shock the following day
Mrs. Mortenson was 20 years old and
was working in her garden In "a STOPPING
posture when the eagle swooped down,
and fastened it's talons in her back and
spread it's broad wings in desperate effort
to carry her of bodily.
The woman shrieked with pain and
fright and began desperate fight with
the huge bird.
The eagle showed no disposition 10 re
lease it's hold, although the woman hit it
q number of blows with her hoe by strik-
ing backward over her shoulders. The,
blows only seemed TO madden IL, and IL
buried its beak repeatedly in the flesh Of
her neck and face. She finally struck the
big bird on the neck and partially stunned
1t. She had become, however, too weak
from fright pain and exertion to kill the
eagle, and il flew away.
Mrs. Mortenson fell on the ground I'm q.
faint and remained there until she was,
found some time after by members Of the
family. No one had seen the encounter,
and 1t was some time before the old wom-
an recovered sufficiently to give the details.
The bird had sunk its talons deeply into
the womans back and had inflicted some
terrible wounds on her neck and face with
its cruel beak. Owing to her age and frail
condition her injuries proved fatal. She
appeared to suffer as much from nervous
shock as from her wounds.
The eagle has been seen In the vicinity
a number of times. Several farmers have
gone cunning for the bird, but have never
been able to get within rife range of it

SHE CAME OUT AHEAD.
Woman Excels Her Male Rival For Office
Under Secretary Gage.


Woman doesn't always get the worst
of it in the government departments.
Miss Lillian Pike Of Arkansas. clerk
in the Office of the coast and geodetic
survey has just distinguished herself
by defeating the brightest young man
in the Office in difficult mathematical
examination.
Recently Secretary Gage needed an
expert mathematician to perform GER
tain duties in the treasury. A young
man in the coast survey applied for the
place, and so did young woman from
the same office. Secretary Gage asked
the chief of the survey to recommend
one or the other of the applicants, but
he refused to do so on the ground that
both were equally proficient and capa-
BILE The secretary then decided TO ex-
anime the two clerks to determine
which should have the place.
The civil service commission was di'
rected to conduct the examination and
to make it as difficult as possible. The
young man pulled through with per-
centage of "a, but Miss Pike got a per.
centage Of "a She was accordingly
given the place
An interesting feature of this case il
that the young woman had very few in
fiuential friends. but the young man
knew several senators and congressman,
and they all urged Secretary Gage tt
give him the place. Chicago Times

THE BOOM IN COTTON.
GONE INTERESTING STATISTICS OF
THE CHIEF SOUTHERN STAPLE.

South tn Enjoy a Monopoly of the Cotton
Industry OF New England Losing
Ground In Their Competition With Those
South of the Line.
Mr.. John A. Smith, manager of the
Charleston freight bureau, recently de-
livered a practical address before the
south and west commercial congress at
Kansas City on the industrial develop
ment of this section.
In touching upon the phenomenal
growth of the cotton industry in the
south during the past seven years Mr..
Smith cited data from official sources
to show that within the next genera
tion, If not sooner, the south would en-
JOY a virtual monopoly of the cotton in
dustry. The following table, compiled
by Mr.. Smith, shows that the amount
of cotton consumed annually by our
southern cotton mills has been steadily
increasing since 1890, while the amount
consumed by the cotton mills of New
England has been steadily decreasing:

Cannot Drive Him From Mushrooms.

Representative Updegraff of Iowa no
longer wears boots. Since the paragraph
about his footgear appeared recently he
has been so pestered with funny remarks
that in self defense he has taken to
wearing shoes. But nothing could drive
Mr.. Updegraff to relinquishing his de-
votion to the mushroom. Out in Iowa
he is known as "Toadstool Tom. He
knows every variety of mushroom from
the plain black and white variety to the
gorgeous orange colored beauty that
springs up in night in the dark, dank
woods. AS for distinguishing between
the edible mushroom and the poisonous
toadstool, which is so difficult to most
people, Mr.. Updegraff can tell the diff
ference with his eyes shut. Exchange.

wounded Hearts MAY lie Cured.

At Berlin recently Herr Rein of Frank
furt-am- Main astonished the members Of
the surgical congress by recounting HIS
experiences i'm the treatment of wounded
hearts. 1t has always been held that 90
per cent of such cases must prove fatal,
death being caused either by shock or by
the flow of blood into the pericardial cav
ity, whereby the heart action is gradual
ly brought TO standstill. Hitherto no
serious attempts have been made to save
the patients life. Herr Relin, however,
conceived the daring idea of applying pre-
cisely the same treatment that would be
used in the case of an external wound. A
man was brought into the hospital dying
from a stab in the heart. He laid bare tho
organ and succeeded in checking the hemor-
rhage by means of n suture. The patient
made capital recovery and was produced
before the congress alive and well.-New
York Journal.

Southern New England

During the past seven years as dis
closed by the foregoing table. the ca
pacity of our southern cotton mills has
almost doubled, while that of New
England during the same length OF time
has fallen off considerably.
The explanation which Mr. Smith
gives of these figures is complete and
satisfactory. lin the SOUTH" says he,
"our mills are always sure OF cheaper
raw material and cheaper labor than is
possible in any other section. Material
is cheaper because it is produced at the
very doors Of the mill, and is therefore
free from the numerous charges made
for transportation, insurance and COM
pressing. Labor is cheaper because the
cost of subsistence to large degree
fixes the rate of wages. Cheap subsist.
ence in the south can be obtained be-
cause the soil is easily titled and the
climate mild"
Is it possible for the cotton men OF
New England to resist the logic con-
tanned in these simple statements OF
fact? Undoubtedly it is natures plan
that the cotton industry should be re-
stricted to the south. and if such is the
case it is useless for our New England
competitors to defy the inevitable. In
stead of trying to reverse the order OF
nature, why should they not invest their
capital in this section?
On the line Of more intimate trade re-
latiops between the north and the south
Mr.. Smith argues that as soon as the
cotton industry is fully developed in
this section it will profoundly affect ev-
cry existing interest. Says Mr.. Smith:
Southern cotton mills will create
new traffic and new trade currents
When the south has products which it
] can sell to the west for less than SINH
lar products now cost in New England,
the west will buy them from the south,
and then for the first time in their his
tory southern railroads leading TO the
west will have long hauls full cars and
return freights. The south might read
lily make most of the cotton goods man
ufactured in America. An enormous
quota of these goods would go TO the
consumers in the great agricultural dis
tricts and the manufacturing centers OF
the west. The entire west produces ne
cessities which they could export
through southern seaports, the shortest
way, and in time to be the cheapest in
transportation Long hauls, full cars
and freight both ways will create
through freight lines and low rates be.
tween the west and south, which will
enable western products from large
section to reach many foreign points by
way of the south Atlantic and gulf ports
at much less than the present cost
through northern ports.
In the course of this same address Mr..
Smith discussed at some length other
pertinent phases of our southern indus
trial development, showing that no Sec
tion of the country possessed more opu'
lent or diversified resources than the
south and that no section of the country
could boast of greater possibilities. -
