DEATH OF a VENERABLE LADY
Mrs. Esther Dempsey, the widow of
| James Dempsey,an whose feeble health
had recently been mentioned in the
Gazette, died about niue o'clock this
merling at the 5ome OF her son-in-law,
Mr. a. II. Thomson, On Prince street.
! The deceased had reached the ripe age
ofS7. Mrs. Dempsey was an exemplary
Christian lady, one who carried her re-
ligion into the everyday affairs of life,
and her benign demesnor and encourag-
ing words will ever 10 remembered by
| tho many living acquaintances she had
made during her long pilgrimage on
earth. Her condition several times
during the past few years had OCCASION
ed her relatives and friends anxiety,
but she had recuperated, and,
her sunny smiles would again greet
her acquaintances while slowly wend-
ing her way in the streets in her
immediate neighborhood. Advancing
years, however, were gradually produ.
cling their natural results, until finally
limit. and this morning, after an
existence vergiDg on four score
years, she peacefully closed her
eyes to all worldly surroundings
to awake in n ewness of life in a
land on which her affections had ever
been placed aud for which she had la
bored TO fit herself. The deceased
leaves four children-all grown. The
many friends and acquaintance of the
family express their heartfelt sympa
thy for those she has left behind, whose
souls are now depressed by the sable
cloud through which they are passing,
though the comforting assurance is re-
allied by all that good mother in Is
rael has entered into an eternal home
and is resting from her labors.

Delinquent Tax Sales.

Nashville, June 23.-At the instance
of Comptroller King, who had instruct
ed county trustees to advertise proper
ty of delinquents for sale on June I,
and to sell same on July /, Attorney
General Pickle has rendered the follow
ing opinion: cat your suggestion l
have examined the act of 1899, with a
view to ascertaining whether lands shall
be sold on the first Monday in July
next, for the tax of 1898. / have con-
cluded that land should be sold for
taxes of 1898 under pre-existing laws,
and not under the act of $780,"
Accompanying the opinion is a state
ment from Representative Bullock,
who was chairman of the house COM
mittee which drew the bill. He states
that it was not the intention Of the
committee which drafted the bill to
have lands assessed in 1898 sold on the
first Monday in July, nor that enlarg.
ed penalty should accrue on the same
Comptroller King had already held
that no extra penalty should accrue.
The effect of the ruling of Attorney
General Pickle will only be to place thu
time of selling property as it was il
the act of 1S97-the first Monday il
September. County trustees will be u
once notified Of Attorney General Pic
kle's ruling.
Attorney General Pickle had instruct
ed Comptroller King to place account
of delinquent back tax attorneys in tn
hands of one of his revenue agents TO
collection. Comptroller King has turn
ed the matter over to Revenue Agen
Caldwell, and he will begin on delin
quents in Middle Tennessee on Tues

BRYAN'S OPINION.
Silver Leader Discusses Statement Made
by Havemeyher.

Chicago, June 1G.-Col. William j.
Bryan, who was in Chicago yesterday,
said concerning the statements of
President Havemeyer of the American
Sugar Refining Company before the
Industrial Commission:
"We will fnd out a lot about these
combinations before we get through
with them. Here is Havemeyer, who
has made millions through the agency
of combinations, saying these things,
which are invariably inimical to labor
he could not live were it not for high
protective duties. Now, these duties
were put there by the republicans when
they got in power, and they will remain
as long as the republicans stay in pow
er; but the fight of next year will not
be made on the trusts, which will con-
stitute purely or comparatively col
lateral issue. The high tariff duties
and the consequent combinations which
follow in their wake are the result of
the victory in 1896 over the money of
the people as against the money of the
men who manage the trusts.
"Of course. just as Mr.. Hayemeyer
says; The people are plundered thro'
the t9riff laws, but we must go back of
the tariff, if we want to find where the
real reason lies. This sugar trust mag
nate has not said anything that has not
been said scores of times before, but
never 50 prominent an advocate of the
trusts. Mr.. Havemeyer has some OBJ
iect in view in making his statements,
but what it is, of course / cannot say.
"These men of millions never waste
words any more than they throw away
dollars; every move is calculated; they
say and do things for the effect that
they will have; they do not talk idly,
but they are busy men; therefore, what
was Mr.. Havemeyer's object in making
the declarations he did? We will have
to wait for that"

How Petticoats Should Be Made.

The petticoat should be made to clear
the ground; it is mistake to have it
too long. If the skirt of the gown does
not stand out we'll it is best to haye
ruffles of silk put on the lining or un-
derneath the skirt rather than to haye
the petticoat SO long that it. drags the
ground. If flannel petticoats are worn
they should be made of the very thin
nest quality, like the albatross flannel,
and on exactly the same lines as the
silk petticoat just described. If the
flannel petticoat is not worn and the
short white skirts are used instead,
they too must be cut on the same lines.
The trouble with most of the ready
made short white petticoats is that they
are on a yoke, and fulness below the
yoke is put so that it comes at the hips.
OF course it means little trouble tc
look into all these little details of dress,
but, once done and the under clothing
put in good order, the new gown will
look twenty per cent. better than if il
is worn over ill-fitting and old fashion
ed lingerie. .-Harper's Bazaar.

ETIQUETTE OF CONVERSATION.
Don't talk loudly or fast. A clear,
distinct voice has great power.

Don't talk loudly or fast. A clear,
distinct voice has great power.
Do not argue Or appear to notice
other peoples inaccuracies in speech.
Do not. when narrating an incident,
keep ON saying, "you see, you
know" etc.
Do not speak mockingly of personal
defects. Somebody present may have
the same.
Do not talk of your private and fami-
lpAAairs except to intimate friends, and
then be careful not to do so often.
Do not cross-question people. 1t is
bad form to force a confidence, but if
one is made to you, you are bound to
respect it.
Do not find fault needlessly, even
with the weather. The habit of grumb-
ling at either people or things is most
dlsagreeable.
Do not whisper if you have anything
to say that the general company may
not hear; reserve it till you and the
person to whom you desire to impart it
are alone.
Do not talk of things that the COM
pany present can not be interested in.
BY SO doing you may show yourself
clever and superior person, but you
will be voted bore,
Do not interrupt others while speak
ing, but listen patiently until they
have finished. Remember that the
good listener is generally more appre-
ciated than the clever talker.
