Strange Glamour of Stage.

81 wish somebody would explain =
said portly old gentleman, who wax
es his moustache and believes firmly
that the country is going to the dogs,
II wish somebody would kindly ex-
plain the fascination which chorus
girls have upon certain class of
young noodles. Take a woman who Is
as homely as a gingham umbrella
and as dull as Congressional Record
and put her in the back row Of the
chorus, where she hasn't thing to do
except to draw her breath and her sal
ary, and the first thing you know q
mob of half-baked Johnnies are send
ing her flowers and mash notes and
jewelry and begging her to come out
and sample hot birds and cold bottles.
l cant understand It,"
"If she were playing sonatas on
typewriter, or warbling Cash" in a
dry goods store she wouldn't get
smile In a century, but the moment she
lands behind the footlights she be-
comes ransflgured-invested with an
irresistible hypnotic charm-and the
gilded youths, who would pass her in
silent scorn under any other circum-
stances, are proud as peacocks II she
mods to them on the street She's
member of the profession, y'know, by
Jove!' 'Pon, my word, its queer
thing-this glamor of stage life!"-

The Bolivar bulletin. (Bolivar, Tenn.) 1888-1946, 1899-03-17

THE BULLETIN of March
Ord, contained the following
editorial:
By vote Of % to l, the State
Senate has passed bill to turn over
to the medical colleges of Tennessee
unclaimed bodies of persons who
die in charitable and penal institu-
tions. In other words, because
people are poor and unable to hav e
their dead sent home for burial,
they are to be turned over to med
ical colleges, dissected and the offal
thrown to vultures. Poverty should
not prevent decent burial. Senator
Slack, of Bristol, was the only
member who voted against the
ghoulish measure. All honor TO
Slack
The editor of the Harde-
man Free Press, who is a
member of the State Senate,
and who voted for the in
human bill, in his issue of
March 10th, makes light of
our friendship for the people
and misquotes our article. So
far as our friendship for the
people is concerned, that is a
matter for the people to de-
eide. The nIisquotation,
however, is unprofessional,
to say the least of it,
The Free Press admits
that a bill was passed by the
Senate 'tO turn over to med
ical colleges unclaimed
bodies" exactly what the
BULLETIN published. Some
people are hard to satisfy.
They are not content with
defrauding, deceiving and
cheating the living; but it
does seem that a line should
be drawn at the grave. Let
the dead rest.

THE refusal of the govern
ment to allow transportation
to Gov. McMiIlin's aPpointee
to succeed the late l.. j.
Leland as chaplain of the
First Tennessee Regiment,
has had a tendency to reduce
the number of applicants.
The Regiment is in the Phil
ippines, almost 10000 miles
from Tennessee, hence the
matter of transportation is a
considerable item. The Cow
ernor will have easy sailing
in this appointment. But

that corporation to obey the Federal law
in reference to war stamps. This COM
pany has refused to place war stamps
upon the parcels which 1t handles EX-
Attorney General w. F. Fitzgerald, on
behalf Of the State, instituted proceedings
to force Wells, Fargo & Co. to obey the
law. The case was brought before the
Supreme Court, but that tribunal denied
jurisdiction under the circumstances and
referred the matter for consideration to
the Superior Court.
Proceedings were therefore commenced
in the Superior Court, but again juris-
diction was lost On this occasion Wells,
Fargo & Co. interfered on their own be-
half They insisted that Federal ques-
tions were involved in the controversy
and that the issue should be determined
by a Federal court. The matter was
therefore transferred by agreement to the
United States Circuit Court. Wells,
Fargo & Co. gave a bond ostensibly to
protect the Government in the event that
the case should be decided against the
company.
In this condition the matter has since
rested. Absolutely nothing has been done
and Wells, Fargo &, Co. have enjoyed an
immunity from a tax to which other cor
porations and individuals must submit.
When ex-Attorney General Fitzgerald
was superseded in Office by Attorney Gen
eral Ford the case was apparently for
gotten. 1t is a matter of general inter-
est to the people of the State, as it ex-
hibits an apparently gross discrimination
of the Government in favor of one cor
poration and against all others.
Attorney General Ford says that he
will take up the case as soon as possible.
He understands it's Importance, but the
manifold duties of his Office and the con-
fusion incident to the change in State ad-
ministration have prevented him from
giving the case the attention it deserves.
The Attorney General has not yet con-
sidered the legal aspect of the case and
is not in position to express an opinion
upon the contention that Federal ques-
tions are involved.
A singular suit was instituted by the
Attorney General of Michigan, who won
his point that the State had sole jurisdic-
ton in the matter. 1t is naturally con-
tended that California has the same right
The point has not been judicially deter
mined in this State, however, and the
Attorney General declares that no fur
ther delay will be tolerated in case of
such general Importance.

RELATIONS WITH MEXICO.
George Benham Thinks They Will
Become Very Close.

George A. Benham of Washington, a
lawyer and writer on economic questions.
is spending a few days in the city and
is registered at the Palace. During the
past year he has been travelling through
Mexico, and has made a careful study of
political and economic conditions in all
parts Of the republic. In speaking of the
results of his Investigations he says:
1.-THE time is coming when Mexico will
be annexed to the United States. This
will be the logical outcome of the course
of events of the past year. The tendency
of the Spanish-American people is to-
ward closer union with the United
States.
81 do not mean to say that Mexico will
be formally annexed to this country, in
the ordinary sense of the term, but will
come into such relations with US that we
shall acquire a protectorate over the
country-much similar to that which
England enjoys over Egypt. Such an al
lance would be of immense benefit to
Mexico, and would give her the advan-
tage which q small railway acquires from
an alliance with a larger one. Mexico is
very friendly to this country, and has
watched the course of events during the
recent war with the keenest interest. Our
acquisition of Cuba and Porto Rico
means a great deal to Mexico, and will
tend TO strengthen her relations with the
United States

recent session. The original bill provided
that the city of Detroit should be au-
thorized to build and operate its own lines
and to raise the necessary funds by the
sale of municipal bonds But as Detroit
is fully equipped in that respect Governor
Pingree and other sensible men realized
that if this plan was carried out the re
suit would mean loss to both the city and
the existing companies AS result an
other bill was substituted and passed au-
thorizing the city to appoint a commits
sion to purchase the existing lines. While
we do not desire to sell we are not fight
ing the plan and will insist only upon re-
ceiving a fair price for our property. All
the street car lines in Detroit are owned
or controlled by the Detroit Citizens
Street Railway Company the Detroit
Electric Railway and the Detroit, Fort
Wayne and Belle Isle Railway Company.
They have 200 miles Of track in first-class
condition and splendidly equipped. The
total capitalization of these companies is
$11 900 900 and their bonded Indebtedness
IS 200, ,000 Under the provisions of the en-
abling act the city may issue bonds with
only the street railway property as secur-
ity. 1t cannot pledge the citys credit be-
yond that The purchase price, if the
lines are acquired by the city, probably
will be in the neighborhood of SIC 900 900 or
SIS, 900 000."
Mr.. Plack says Detroit owns it's water
works and lighting plant, both of which
have proved of great benefit to the city.

Early in the evening the proprietor, An

founded to find it open and the contents,
amounting to $500, gone. AS one of his
employees whom he knew as Jack was in
the shop only a short time before, Gail.
suspecting that he had tampered with the
safe, went in search of him. Failing to
find him, he notified the policeman on the
beat.
Last night Gail visited police headquar-
ters and reported the robbery to Captain
Bohen He is strongly convinced that the
mysterious Jack" opened the safe and
got away with the funds.
"Jack" Is described as being about 40
years old, plainly dressed and wears

AN INCREASED POPULATION.
A Demand for Greater School Facili-
ties in South San Francisco.

The increased population of South San
Francisco during the past five years has
caused the school accommodation in that
portion of the city to become over
crowded. To have the School Directors
make amends for this is the cause of the
organization of an improvement club in
the southern portion of this municipality.
The present school building known as
the Burnett Primary has twelve class
