SlnOthered in a Coffin.

Tom Bennett, a young farm
hand residing at Chavier, De
Kalb county, Ala, when pur-
sued by a constable on the
charge of stealing a horse, ran
into an undertaking shop and
got into an empty coffin and in
duced a coloreI man to screw
On the lid The colored man
returned an hour later and found
that the coffin had fallen to the
floor, face downward Hastily
turning it over and opening it,
he saw the corpse of Bennett,
showing signs of horrible suffer
ing. Bennett had evidently felt
the want of air and struggled
desperately to lift the lid, had
overturned the coffin and drawn
the lid still more securely on
and so smothered to death.

STATE GUARD.
How The State Troops Would
be Called Out III Case of War.

There has been some amuse
ment at the talk of certain com,
panies telegraphing President
Mckinley offering their service:
in case Of war with Spain, writes
Col. Fred Olds, IL his newspaper
correspondence. Then he goes
Oh to show how the State Guard
would be called into service, as
explained by an officer, who
said
Suppose the President calls
on the Governor for say 5000
men. The Governor would
order the State Guard on active
duty. 1t is part of the National
Guard, the first reserve OF the
regular army. The Naval Re-
serves would recruit in the same
way. Members who have served
with the colors, say for the past
ten years, would be called OIL to
fill the ranks, and make at once
each regiment of twelve com
panies, giving three battalions
to each. This would give 4,Soo
officers and men in the brigade.
The Naval Reserves would re-
crult IN the ss.lnc way to 500
men. In say two days, the
thing would be done. Then all
that would be necess ry would
be to rush i'll a requisition for
the equipments and uniforms for
say 5000 men. The 1900 now
in the Guard would, Of course,
be available for instant duty, in
the State or out of it. It is a
force alway at the command Of
the Governor or the President.
1t is armed, clothed and equip
ped entirely by the United
States in that respect not cost
ing the State cent. The value
of such a force, not perhaps
apparent to the mass Of the peo,
pie at ordinary times, becomes
doubly SO now. The brigade is
