PENSIONS FOR Ex-sLAVEs,
Slick Negro stin Working His Game
at Macon.

Macon, Ga, Feb. H.-The negro preach
er Kaigler continues to hold largely at
tended meetings of negroes in this city
and county at which he tells all ex-slaves
he is engaged in the great work of get
ting up a memorial to congress to pass a
bill to pension all ex-slaves. A majority
of the more intelligent class of negroes de-
nounce Kaigler. The negro ministers of
the city are arraigned against the move
ment and denounce Kaigler. About 1900
names have been secured, and while there
is no fee for this work, stin every signer
is told that a small sum would aid in has
tening the passage of a pension bill Kali
gler has aroused the negroes in Bibb and
adjoining counties despite the bitter oppo-
sition of the pastors of all the churches in
the city. There has been some talk of
riding him on a rail, but as he violates no
law he defes personal opposition to his
scheme. He is an intelligent negro and
it is this fact that gives him power to dupe
his race.

TIPPLING AT COLUMBIA.

Columbia. S. c., Feb. 1.-THE members
of the House of Representatives were a
little surprised to-day when f. f. Werner
of Oconee offered a concurrent resolution
TO the dispensary, but there was a sensa-
ton when MIR. Werner, in reply to the
statement of member that there was al
ready a dispensary committee, took the
floor and said another committee was
needed, and that the air was full of rn-
mors about the conduct of members of
the House and Senate. 1t had became a
public scandal. He wished the d.spen-
sary sample room investigated, where it
waa alleged, free liquor in quantities
was dispensed to the legislators. The
House was silent and the resolution was
passed.
Talk about the legislators using LIQUOR
freely started two weeks ago when a va
riety show visited Columbia. The mem
bers of the company were revelations to
some of the rural law makers who monop-
olized one floor of q principal hotel and
painted things very red

Washington, Feb. 14.-Susan B. Anthony
of the National Woman Suffrage Associa-

morning. The decorations consisted main
ly in the display of two handsome Ameri-
can flags, each with four stars emblem
attic of the states which granted the right
of suffrage to women.
Prior to the general public session there
was a meeting of the executive commit
tee, which was more fully attended than
on any previous occa sion. Four states
and territories were reported as not hav-

ALBANIA, Arizona, Colorado and Utah, and
in accordance with the rules of the as

be denied the privilege of voting.
In Miss Anthony's address she spoke of
the success so far attained in behalf of
woman suffrage, and urged all those iden-
titled in the movement to stand together
for still better results. The grievances
which the women had against their COM
mon enemy-man-to-day We're as great
and many as the early colonists had
against King George.
vention settled down to routine business,
including roll call, announcements of COM
mittees, etc.
Rev. Anna Howard Shaw, the vice presi-
dent-at-large, spoke of the growing sem
timent in favor of woman suffrage The
newspapers were favorable to the woman
suffragists and they were the greatest help
to which they might look for assistance.
The report of Rachael Foster Avery, the
corresponding secretary, closed the work
of the morning session.
The afternoon session was devoted main
ly to hearing short addresses by state
presidents or their proxies. They were
all of an encouraging character and show
ed satisfactory growth of the movement
in behalf of woman suffrage.
AT the evening session a short address
was made by Miss Anthony.

feats and Trumphs" was read by Clara

Washington. Feb. 14-Collector DeveauX

When the nomination comes up in eXecu-

A Democratic Senator, commenting upon
the subject to-day, said it would be use
less to deadlock the Senate in an attempt
TO prevent Col Deveaux's nomination
simply on the ground of his color. Col.
Deveaux is justified in securing such a
good position if he can, but the admins

He went on to say that although Sena-
tor Hanna is being roundy condemned
for recommending the appointment of col

credit for keeping his campaign promises.
1t has been the custom for chairmen of
national committees to make the most
extravagant promises while the campaign
is on, and forget all about them after the
election and while Senator Hanna has
not grown in personal popularity since
he entered the Senate, men of both par

do fishes sleep-and how?"
This question was addressed to Eugene
G. Blackford, formerly fish commissioner
of New York state. His acquaintance
with fish began when he was very young
and at the present time he is a recog-
nized authority all over the world
Certainly they sleep" was Blackford's
response. They sleep suspended in the
water with their eyes wide open. l have
seen them do il often. I have many fish
in tanks with glass fronts and can watch
them. Sometimes l see a fish suspended
in the water keeping perfectly still for
half an hour a time, and then l con-
clude that ne is asleep. He does not even
move a fin at such times, and the mo-
ton Of the gills is barely perceptible
FISHES don't close their eyes, because
there is no necessity for their doing it.
They have no eyelids, because their eyes
are not exposed to dust as our are They
don't close their eyes in sleep because the
light is so modified by the water that It
is hard for them to find a twilight spot.
But they can close their eyes if they
want TO do it, and they do on very partic-
ular occasions. l will show you.-John,
bring me a trout"
The man went to tank, and soon re-
rSrned, bearing in his hand a fine trout
about eight inches in length. This Mr..
Blackford held. while he took a lead pen
ell and touched one of its eyes with the
point. The trout wrggled about vigorous
ly, and at the same time drew an inside
yellow curtain over the eye.
You see, he can close his eyes il he
chooses" said the former fish commission
er. 'The habits of fish are little known
in many respects. We have only begun
to study their mgrations in a way that
promises TO lead to anything. We have
captured some thousands of cod and mack
erel and put metal tags on their fins.
Some of these viii be caught in nets far
North and South, and as they have the
address of the United States fisheries
commission on them, that will give US an
idea where the untold millions of fish that
race along our shores at certain periods
spend other part of their year."

FARMING MADE MIGHTY EASY.
Here's a Man Who Is Going to Train
Animals to Do the Work Alone.
Correspondence of the ST. Louis Globe

Correspondence of the ST. Louis Globe
Democrat
E. w. Tinsley of Boone county. Missouri
has originated scheme which, if faith
fully executed by others, may convince a
good many kind-hearted people that they
should grieve no more at the alleged I'M
happy lot of the American farmer If the
scheme works the life of the farmer, from
being a ceaseless round of hopeless toll
will be long, sweet rest. Mr.. Tinsley
hopes to cause the change by means of
trained animals, which, he is convinced,
may be made to do nearly the entire work
Of the farm with but little human assist
ance.
The idea was suggested several days ago
when, in company with Judge John A.
Stewart he was clearing a field of weeds
by means of mower drawn by a team of
mules. After driving the team back and
forth for several hours the two men re-
paired to a spring near by for a brief rest,
leaving the mower in the field. While at
the spring they heard familiar clicking
sound, which told them plainly that the
mower was in motion. On investigating
they found that the mules had started
with the mower and were cutting weeds on
their own accord, proceeding back and
forth in a systematic manner, just as they
had been accustomed TO do when guided
by human hands After Mr.. Tinsley had
watched them cut several acres of weeds
the idea before mentioned struck him very
forcibly. He has taken the mules in hand,
and the amount of farm work they are
doing without assistance is astonishing
the natives. Mr. Tinsley intends TO be-
gin training horses hogs and cattle, and
is convinced that he will soon have little
to do but sit in the shade and mediate
on the blissful Incidence of a farmers
