with laurels. The democrats are going
to carry the country in this years con-
gressional elections, but this victory is
only prelude to what will happen year
after next. By that time there will be

HENRY tRADY's COTTON DEAL.
In His First and Only Speculation in Cotton
Futures He Lost So 800.

utuFSs ne LOST az ,OOO'
The late 81. W. Grady made but one
speculation in his life, and according to
the New York Sun, it turned out as fol-
lows:
Mr.. Grady went on fishing trip with
a party of New York cotton brokers and
when they returned from the frolic de-
termined to take flyer. He according
ly bought 1000 bales at II 80 per pound
this was years ago land had a ticker
put in his office to watch the t1uctua-
tions
The staple went down, then up, simply
dancing all around the original price of
H. 80, and Mr.. Grady would look at the
ticker in rather puzzled way, as finally
cotton began to go off slowly but
steadily.
One day it dropped fifty points and
things locked rather bearish.
Grady's air castles vanished, and he
was rather anxiouslg awaiting the sum-
mons from his broker for more margins.
One morning he arrived at his Office and
found in cipher telegram from his
broker
The telegram read something like this
'Place wren account of margins"
Now, Mr.. Grady imagined he knew
all the uses o! the wren, but he began to
think that possibly he was mistaken, as
he failed to see what good wren would
do placed as a. margin, so he went to his
private secretary to find out what kind
of wren was wanted. When the secre-
tary returned he informed Mr.. Grady
that wren meant $2,500 Very few men
can indulge in joke at their own ex'
pense, particularly under such circum-
stances as Mr.. Grady was then passing
through, but in his most genial way he
said
"Jim, go and ask him to make it a
humming bird. just suppose he had
said turkey?"

MALLISTER'S DEATH MYSTERY
RETURNEDIO CAMP UNCONSCIOUS
AND DIED.
Sheriff of Clay County Died in the
Army. Body Passed Through
Dawson.

The body of Private j. 7. McAllister
of the First Georgia regiment, who died
in Camp Poland, near Knoxville, Tenn,
under mysterious circumstances, passed
through Dawson en- route to FIT. Gaines,
the late home of the deceased, for burial.
McAllister was the sheriff of Clay
county, and will be remembered as the
man who killed Judson Hyatt, the Ma
con drummer, in Cooks hotel at Fit.
Gaines.
The press dispatch concerning Meal
listers death says he joined the First
Georgia regiment after peace was de-
clared, and was detailed as a nurse in a
division hospital One morning, after
an absence of three days, he returned to
the hospital showing the effects of chic
reform poisoning, and never regained
consciousness He also showed evil
dences of having been sandbagged, and
the theory now entertained is that be
was foullv dealt with and robbed.
tPrivate McAlHster," says the dis
patch, ''never referred to his past life,
and it was only incidentally that il
was discovered that he was sheriff
OF his home county. An ex-
change of kilograms developed the rest
and then members of his regiment gath
cred up the tangled skein of the life

COULDN'TLIVE IN THE OPEN AIR.
Sauter Thrived in an Underground Abode
But Died When Removed.

But Died When Removed,
William Sauter, the 1Q-year old son of
Charles Sauter, druggist of Bedford
avenue and south Fifth street, Williams
burg, died last Sunday after life spent
under unusual conditions. Almost from
the time of his birth the boy had suffer
ed from spinal meningitis and had been
subject to violent cOnYulsions which
threatened to eni his life. After time
Sauter discovered that the boy was less
likely to have commissions when he was
kept quiet and in a cool atmosphere.
Accordingly he fitted up the cellar under
his store as a gymnasium and playground
for his son. The space was large enough
to permit of riding a bicycle, and pTovis-
ion was make tor various games. A
sleeping apartment was fitted up in ore
corner. For the last three years Young
Sauter had not left his subterranean
abode, and under these conditions he
had grown strong and healthy
The cOnYulsions ceased entirely year
and half ago. Encouraged by the boy s
improved health, Sauter determined to
take him into the open air once more
Accordingly, about two weeks ago,
father and son went to Dobb's Ferry on
an outing. For the first twelve hours
the boy apparently Gid not feel any i'll
effect from the change. Then he began
to show signs of nervousness and finally
went into commissions. One spasm CON
tinued for hours, and this was shortly
followed by another, which lasted eight
hours The lad grew rapidly worse and
died last Sunday. He was buried on
Tuesday in Mount Hope cemetery, New
York Sun.
