C. w. Hooper's House Entered by Thief
"A Letter from Schley.

Selma Ala, November 2S.-(Speeial)-
Last night between midnight and daylight
a burglar entered the home of c. w. Hooper
on Lauderdale street and helped himself
to such effects as suited his fancy. An en-
trance was gained through the dining room
window. The intruder passed by quite a
quantity of silver ware and went to the
hall rack, where he selected Mr.. Hooper s
new overcoat, Hooper Adams new over
coat and also one belonging to young Jas.

He then went up stairs into Hooper
Adams room and took pair of pants their
owner had received from the tailors only
the night before, also Mr.. Adams shoes
and his watch The latter belonged to his
sister, and had been given him by her just
before he left to join Roosevelts Rough
Riders on their campaign in Cuba. On the
watch was his initials, "B. B. A.
The burglar also entered the childrens
room next to Mr.. Hooper's bed room and
stole from the mantle the latter's gold
watch. Mr.. Hooper during the night thought
he heard noise in the house and got out
of bed, but everything seeming quiet did
not go further than his room.
Intelligence reached Selma this morning
of the death of Mrs. r. NJ Burton, WHICH
occurred at late hour last night in Louis
vine, KY, where she had been carried in
the hopes of a successful operation saving

Mrs. Burton was Miss Annie Moilett, the
daughter of one of Dal:as county's most
prominent citizens. She was only about 10
years old and was married a few months
age. She was a beautiful and talented
yorng lady, and her untimely death comes
as a severe shock.
Sunday night telegram came asking that
word be sent to Mrs. Buttons father, who
lives about twenty-five miles in the country
notifying him to come to Louisville al once,
but before the messenger started the other
telegram announced her death.

The Poetry of Nature.

"The poetry of earth is never Dead"
wrote Keats, and though the statement
sounds at first thought a dangerously
sweeping one there is no doubt that if
he had beer sailed upon to argue the
point he wosld have successfully main
tanned his thesis. Regarded subjective
ly, the poetry of earth. or, in other
words, the quality which makes for
poetry in external nature, is that power
in nature which moves us by sugges-
ton, which eXcites in us emotion, i'm
agination or poignant association, which
plays upon the tense strings Of our SYM
pathies with the fingers of memory or
desire. This power may reside not less

sublimity, but it may work with equal
effect through austerity or reticence or
limitation or change. 1t may use the
most common scenes, the most familiar
facts and ferns, as the vehicle of it's
most penetrating and most Illuminating
message. 1t is apt to make the drop Of

peace Thackeray, to which l accom-
panied my father. Although December,
it was as bright and sunny as a summer
day. On getting out at the railway sta
ton we encountered George Cruikshank,
with whom in early life Thackeray had
studied etching and whose illustrations
were a feature Of Dickens earlier works.
Cruikshank was then in his SEVENTEEN
year. He walked with us to Kensal
Green cemetery, and the day being
warm l carried his overcoat.
The great temperance artist was as
quaint and odd in name and appear.
ance as any Of his own ca~ricatures.
George, as his intimates called him,
possessed histrionic tastes and used to
appear as Macbeth and in other Shake
spearean characters at Saddler's Wells.
He was associated with Dickens, too, in
the amateur performances in connection
with the promotion of the Guild of Lit
erature and Art. Cruikshank was also a
volunteer officer, and on the occasion Of
some review q comic bard wrote in al
fusion to his temperance proclivities

An Up Stairs blacksmith Shop,

As is well known, the Baldwin Lo-
comotive works are located in the heart
Of the city of Philadelphia, where real
estate is valuable. This condition of
things leads to q great many details in
the construction of the works which
would net be thought of under different
circumstances, although, as very often
happens after one has accommodated
himself to circumstances in this way,
the result is found to have no disadvan-
taGes, but, on the contrary, is found to
DO positively advantageous.
One of the features of the Baldwin
works, which is a blacksmith shop,
steam hammers and all, is located OH
the second floor. This shop does what
the Baldwin works call the light
work. 1t does not do the frame forging
or other heavy work, although the
work done is, as already intimated, suf-
ficiently heavy to call for steam ham,
mers. The entire shop contains 81
FORCES, served by two fans, which are
driven by electric motors. A complete
system of exhaust piping for carrying
away the smoke is provided, which, to-
gether with the very liberal window
and skylight area and elevated location,
results in the ~cleanest and lightest
shop, when the number of fires is con-
sidered, that we have eyer seen.-Amer-
lean Machinist.

Springfield ills. April i.-Gov. Tanner
yesterday received and accepted the
resignation of General H. A. Wheeler,
of Chicago, commanding officer Of the
First brigade, Illinois National Guard.
The action is the outcome Of the per-
mission given Colonel Marcus A. Kava-
nagh, commanding officer Of the Sew
enth regiment, which is a part Of the
First brigade. allowing the Seventh to
take part in the parade on st. Patrick's
day in Chicago. Wheeler was in the
east at the time the permission was
granted by the assistant adjutant gen.
eral Of the First brigade, Pierrpont
Isham. General Wheeler took the re-
sponsibility upon himself, and was asked
by the governor to explain the reason
for issuing the order. The explanation
was not satisfactory. being that the
same permission had been given before
this, and the call for resignation fol-
lowed.
In his letter reinstating KAvanagh the
governor says: I'm restoring Colonel
Kavanagh to his command 1t Is deemed
proper to direct his attention to a IA
grant violation of military procedure in
permitting the publication of his letter
Of explanation of March %, 1898. in the

This is how he earns his living: In

who is going to give a dinner at which
every dish must be above criticism.
Here he alights, and, making for the
kitchen, goes through the process Of
tasting all the soups. sauces and made
dishes. advising, when his palate sug-
gests, a little more salt here, o pinch Of
herbs there, a dash Of sugar in this en-
tree, o suspicion Of onion in that sal
mis-, etc.
This done, he pockets his fee Of s
guineas and drives on to the next din

of the president. Concerning the latter
Chandler said: II have confidence that

or another. Therefore, I am not in

he reviewed his own record on the SUBJ

where he had always stood-in favor of

clusion of the Cuban discussion the

were disposed of before adjournment.
