AUTOGRAPH FIENDS.
Devices to Which They VIII Resort
to Secure the Signature of
ReiEninE Celebrity.

Every time we have a celebrity with
US" said the chief clerk at one of the lead
ing hotels, Il am certain to be deluged with
autograph albums. They are left by people
who calmly request me to waylay the nota-
bic and get his or her signature, preceded
If possible by some neat and appropriate
sentiment, verse preferred. 1t would be a
pretty ticklish task if it were not for the
fact that the celebrities themselves are
broken in to that sort of thing and have
ceased to regard it with any surprise. As a
rule, no explanation is necessary and all
have to do is to hand over the little books
The autograph hunters are particularly keen
after theatrical stars, and there Is one we'll
known manager who derives a good deal of
amusement in acting as proxy. Last time
he was here he was with an eminent actress
and l had been lntrusted with no less than
dozen autograph albums | received
SPECIFIC lnJunctions from the owner of each
to get something characteristic and
turned the bunch over to my managerial
friend. Here's where l make hit!' he
exclaimed enthusiastically, and grabbing a
pen, proceeded to inscribe an enigmatical
sentiment of his own manufacture in
every volume. | remember one, which ran
like this: is not the expression of emotion
merely the emotion of expression? Truly
yours, Miss So-and-So.' The others We're
equally incoherent, but somehow they had
a wise sound and the autograph chasers
were perfectly delighted. so deep!' so
thoughtful were the comments they made
as they studied the gibberish after the books
were returned, and | am willing to bet they
are still wrestling with the inner meaning
of their prizes. The star herself has the
reputation OF being quite student, and if
she knew of the little joke that was per-
petrated in her name | am inclined to be-
lleve she would get after her manager with

Bax Tax Attorneys.

Acknowledgement Pickle has address
ed the following letter to State Comp
troller Theodore f. King:
Hon, Theodore F. King, State Comptroller.
Nashville, Tenn:
Dear Sir-Having been directed by resolution
of the recent general assembly to take such legal
steps as may be necessary - ,o,i ct and have
paid into the treasury of the State and county
all moneys due from the back tax attorneys of
The State. and having authority under said resO-
luton to call upon your office for all necessary
aid in this work, l direct that, through your
revenue agents OF other force OF your Office, you
proceed at once to investigate and make out
statement OF the accounts OF said back tax at
torneys as they appear in your Office for my in
formation and use. You will include the ac-
counts OF ali attorneys back to 1887.
Where the account of any attorney is not
square on your books you will notify him and
give him an opportunity to explain or settle,
and. II need be- you will have his office fully in
yeSttgated by one of your revenue agents and
report result to me-
You Will inform all back tax attorneys APP
pointed under or since the act of 1895 that they
will be required 10 pay into the State and county
treasures any sums they may have been per-
mitted by your predecessor or by the county
officials 10 retain as fees or on account of ex
Fenses for sales Of lands made under Section 95,
acts of 1895, Chapter 100 where the State became
the purchaser. The supreme court has settled
that no fees or costs OF advertising or expenses
OF abstracts, notices, etc, can be paid otherwise
than out of the proceeds of each particular tract
when il shall be resold by the State.
The fact that the attorney may have actually
paid the costs OF advertising, abstracts, ETC.,
makes no difference.
You will disregard in your investigation and
settlement any attempted ratification of these
illegal allowances by any court.
You will likewise ascertain what advertising
fees have been paid and allowed as credits to
county trustees and report same to me for ac-
ton. Such credits, il allowed are illegal
hope you can proceed promptly in this mat
ter, as no legal steps can be taken until you re-
port 10 me. Very truly,
G. w. PICKLE, Attorney eneral.

Declares the Law Unconstitutional.

Chancellor Cook, of Nashville, holds
chapter 126, acts of 1897, in reference to
building and loan associations uncon-
stitutional, because it confers duties
upon the State treasurer which are not
contemplated under the constitution.
He holds that under this law a stock
holder who questions the solvency OF a
building and loan association cannot
proceed against it at all until he gives a
bond for all costs of the investigation
to the State treasurer; then he must
abide by the decision of the State treas
urer; if the State treasurer adiudges
the association insolvent the stock
holder cannot then employ his own
lawyer and proceed, but the State
treasurer employs the attorney general,
who may proceed or not as he sees fit.
The State treasurer is not one of the
constitutional courts of the land. This
act overthrOws the whole object of our
State and national government 1t
violates every provision of our eonstitu-
ton for the protection of the citizen in
his rights. 1t further deprives him of
trial by Jury"

An Excellent Combination.

The pleasant method and beneficial
effects of the well known remedy,
SYRUP OF FIGS, manufactured by the
CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP Co., illustrate
the value of obtaining the liquid laxa-
tive principles of plants known to be
incidentally laxative and presenting
them in the form most refreshing to the
taste and acceptable to the system. It
is the one perfect strengthening laxa-
tive, cleansing the system effectually,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
gently yet promptly and enabling one
to overcome habitual constipation per-
manently. Its perfect freedom from
every Objectionable quality and sub
stance, and its acting on the kidneys,
liver and bowels, without weakening
or irritating them, make it the ideal
laxative.
In the process of manufacturing figs
are used, as they are pleasant to the
taste, but the medicinal qualities of the
remedy are obtained from SIENNA and
other aromatic plants, by method
known to the CALIFORNIA FIe SYRUP
Co. only. In order to get its beneficial
effects and to avoid limitations, please
remember the full name of the Company
printed on the front of every package.

Must Know the Law.

Gen. Butler was one of a commission
to examine young applicants for ad-
mission to the bar, and before him came
youth who failed miserably on all
that pertained to Jurisprudence, case
law, civil law, sumptuary law, I'M
written law and due process of law.
Finally Butler asked: What would
you like to be examined in? You have
failed in everything we have sug-
gested." The reply came: TRY me
on the statutes; I'm up on them" But
Ter shook his head solemnly. MY
young friend, he said, I'm afraid you
won't do. You may be ever so familiar
with the statutes, but what is to pre-
vent a fool legislator from repeating
all you knoW?"

Husband Jointly Responsible.

In Kansas City, Mo-, the court of ap-
peals has held that a husband was
jointly responsible with his wife for an
injury inflicted by the latter, even
though he was not present when the
wrong was committed. Mrs. A. A.
Bombeck drove over E. b. Bruce, and
he sued for damages. A circuit court
jury gave him damages against both of
them for $500. The Bombecks app
pealed on the ground that she could
not be held jointly with her husband.
The court held that where the wife
commits wrong the husband is liable.

This famous remedy cures all forms of stom-

NAY Not Be Paid.

The effort of Lieut.. Robert b. Cooke
to get pay as adjutant-general of the
Fourth Tennessee Regiment may fail
for the reason that there is no record at
Nashville showing that the regiment
was ever mustered into service. Cooke
was commissioned acknowledgement by
Gov. Taylor and served in that capacity
for some time. Then Col. Brown re
lieved him and assigned him to line
duty. While the office of regimental
adjutant only ranks as lieutenant there
