THE BODY WAS PETRlFlED
And Was as Natural as Life.

On Thursday of last week J. l.
Fry, of this place, and L. w. G.
Heaton. of Rusk, went over to
Stout's Mills, Gilmer county, to
take up the remains of Mrs.
Sarah Martin, who died nine
years ago. Before she died it
was her request that her remains
be transferred to Harrisyille Gem
etery, but after her death, her
husband George Martin, had her
buried at Stout's Mills cemetery.
When the corpse was exhumed
everything was found to be in
splendid condition. The wood of
the coffin had petrified and the
deceased looked as natural as the
day she was buried, even the
clothing was in good condition.
Owing to the petrified condi-
ton the corpse would have weigh
ed about 400 pounds-Ritchit

Who Are Americas Friends.

The foreign correspondent of
Haype,''s Weekly writes: II have
gathered, however, some facts
which may not be known in
America as to the state of feeling
in Europe. OF English sympathy
there is no doubt. Here is an
example. The reported sale to
Spain by Mr.. McCalmont of his
magnificent yacht excites grave
disapproval, especially among
the working classes. Although
The United States have probably
an easy task before them, so far
as the defeat of the Spain is con-
cerned, the feeling IS general, if
not universal, in England that
both publicly and privately the
citizens of the United States
should not be allowed to rest un-
der any misconception as to the
reality of British sympathy. This
is why the sale of Mr., Mccall
mont's yacht is resented. In
France, Notwithstanding the his
torical friendship between the
two great republics, the Russian
alliance, no less than community
race, impels the French people
to side with SPAN rather than
with America. Austria and
Russia are of course philo-Spanl-
ards; while the Kaiser and his
countrymen regard the fall of
another dynasty in Europe as
hostile to their interests. 1t is
true of course, that the American
Union stands IN no need of help
or friendship. Dim echoes of
long centuries of strife with
Spain are now family heard in
the unanimous chorus of sympa-
thy felt by the vast majority of
the Queens subjects for the gov
eminent and people of the Unit
ed States"

CONGRESSMAN pOLLIvER
Defends President AsElnIsy's War Policy.

Mr.. Dolliver (Rep. lowa), .
member of the Ways and Means
Committee made the speech OF
his life last week in the House OF
Representatives in defence of
President McKlnley's course in
our relations with Spain. Con-
GLIDING Mr.. Dolliver said
.If any has grown restless and
uneasy in the slow movement OF
events. if this chamber has been
degraded by brutal and incoher-
emit SANDERS against his name, If
the honest zeal of some has tried
to outrun him to the goal and the
crafty zeal of others to run over
him, the time for controversy
with such is passed.
But as one who has never for
a moment doubted his wisdom or
his patriotism, / venture the pre-
diction that when these days OF
feyerish and babbling criticisms
are forgotten. the world will hold
in increasing honor that brave
and kindly man who in the face
of an unexampled clamor, his
lips sealed by the very nature OF
his duty. has had the moral hero
ism, while the smallest chance
remained, to stand as the magis-
trate of a Christian people, exer-
cising the influence Of his Office
for an honorable peace. The
fact that all these humane aspira-
tions of our Government, known
and read of all men, have called

If something isn't done to

who are forever telling US things

zine biographies left George
Washington scarcely a shred of
character to bless himself with,
and a furnished halo, and show
ed that Napoleon had been strut
ting around all these years
adorned in mantle of glory
about three sizes too big for him.
We have been told that William
Tell never had any apple shoot
ing record to his credit, that
Pocahontas never rescued John
Smith, and that most Of the
thrilling speeches that have stir
red our blood were not made at
all by our heroes, but were put
in the books by some scrubby
little clerk of biographer who
never saw a fight in his life. I'm
der these affections and depriya-
tons there has always been the
sneaking consolation that if the
good people were not as good as
they were painted, what desper-
ate, dark, bloody villains the bad
ones must have been Now even
this illusion is about to be torn
away. An evil genius has prompt
ed some groveling souled persons
to look up Othello's record, and
Italian papers are relating that
certain manuscripts have been
found in the archieves of a con-
vent in Venice that prove him to
have been a man of the most IN
blemished character, a model
husband, and pattern of all the
domestic virtues. These manu-
scripts consist OF notes taken in
1548 by a Cretan diplomat who
was sent on mission to the re-
public OF Venice. The writer
knew Othello well, and vouehes
for the fact that Desdemons was
nevered killed, that she survived
Othello, in fact, and died ma
tural death, giving the coroner
no trouble st all. 1t would be
hard to find anything more dis
couraging to a real lover of the
romantic than such story,
seeing that bad character, for
all romantic intents and purposes
is better than q good one, and to
deprive a historic villain of his
badness is to make him poor in.

adventure and bis hardness with
a pillow is one thing; Othello,
with his certificate of character

another, and without wishing to
introduce such practices into gen.

perfectly obvious that if Otheho
