REGULAR CUBAN LETTER.

Camp Trinidad, Cuba, Mar. Is, 1899.
Despite the prodigeous efforts and
skilled manipulating upon the part of
the officers of the Fourth, our regiment
is among that number of regiments
which the War Department proposes,
at an early date, to muster out.
When this news reached the boys,
they lined up in single file and at the
"drop of hat" gave three loud, roar
ing, welcoming cheers for the man that
brought the news. The Fourth will be
in the States by May 1st. 1t is thought
by several officers that we will proba-
bly, go to New York and there be mus
tered out of the army.
There has not been single volun-
teer regiment in Cuba, that has re-
turned to the States, without some Of
the officers beng court martialed. How
ever, the Fourth will prove no excep
ton. Captain Marion, company FL, is
under arrest, awaiting court martial
The charges are trifing and of minol
nature and should not justifya repri
mand. Eyer since the regiment has
been in Cuba, Captain Marion has
been using his influence to have it re
called to the States and mustered out
For that reason, the Colonel and three
or four of his subordinates have beer
watching their opportunity to prefer
charges against him. One charge
against the Captain, is for writing hi
company note to "brace up and ge
in good trim, that the Fourth was SUR
to 60" His company was at San JuaI
springs recuperating.
Captain Marion preferred charge
against Colonel Brown, Major Taton
and Major Ekler. One of the charge
against Colonel Brown is for cursinI

did not give d-n If all of them died

Whew! such rumpus has not taken
place during the present administration
as is now raging around the head Of
Attorney General Griggs. It's all
about letter that Griggs wrote about
trusts, containing opinions that the re-
malnder of the administration are afraid
to stand for. Some Of his fellow mem
bers of the cabinet have said a few
things to Griggs, but it is understood
that their remarks will be entirely for
gotten when Mr.. Mckinley returns
and empties the walls Of his wrath on
him. Some of the administration
hangers-on say that Griggs was bun
coed into writing the letter by his COR
respondent who asked for the informa-
tion, stating that he was republican;
and that he would not have written it
had he supposed it would be published.
OF course, everybody knew that the
administration was not unfriendly to
the trusts, with which Boss Hanna has
such close business relations, but, in
Difference to voters who do not share in
the profits of the trusts, it has been I'M

Whereas, on the 18th day of March,

age Of 8 years, months and days fell
asleep in the arms of Jesus, who, when
He was upon the earth, said "Suffer
little children to come unto me, and
forbid them not, for Of such is the King
dom OF God"
And whereas, little frankie was a
member of this Sabbath school; atten
tive in the infant class, always listen
ing to the lessons of "Jesus and His
love" with marked interest aud atten-
ton; and fell asleep i'll that pure and
beautiful faith Of an innocent child,
which made him happy even in death,
exclaiming, 81 am going home.
Therefore, be it resolved: That this
Sunday school has been deprived of the
presence of one of its members, aud the
infant class of one Of its beloved mem
bers, by the will of Him who doeth al

That we bow in humble submission

this beautiful bud in the spring-time

above to bloom forever in His presence
That we extend our sincere sympathy

BIG DECREASE IN COURT BUSINESS.
Second Ciacuit Court of Davidson Recon-
mended to Go After Ioo2-Court of
Chancery Appeals Stands.

Chancery Appeals Stands.
The committee on redistricting the
State submitted an exhaustive report
to the legislature last week.
The committee finds that since the
passage of the Jarvis law and the law
placing Attorneys General on salaries
there has been large decrease in liti-
cation. In some of the circuits there
was practically no falling off, while in
the majority Of them there was a de-
crease ranging as high as 60 per cent.
For example, the per cent. of decrease
in criminal courts having only criminal
jurisdiction is found to be as follows:
Davidson, "A per cent. Knox, 46; In
Montgomery, nomaterial change; elev-
enth circuit, 80; Shelby, so.
After reviewing all the facts the COM
mittee makes the following recommen-
dations:
'Upon these facts the committee are
unavoidably driven to the conclusion
that there are more courts in the State
under the present arrangement than
are necessary to transact the business,
and have decided to suggest the follow
ing as proper solution of the difficulty
''The committee deems it best to re-
district the State into Chancery Divi-
sions and Judicial and Criminal Cir
cults, to take effect in 1909, so as to
avoid the necessity of appointing the
necessary judges until the next gener-
al election, and for the present to abol-
ish such courts as may be necessary for
the transaction OF the business now to
be done, and to apportion the work
heretofore assigned to these courts as
equitably as possible among the re-
naming circuits and divisions of the
State. The committee, therefore, rec
ommends that the following courts be-
abolished;
"The Twelfth Chancery Division.
"The Criminal Courtof Knox county
"Fhe Third Judicial Circuit.
1.-THE Criminal Court of Montgom
cry county.
"The Criminal Court of the Eleventh
Judicial Circuit.
"And No. 3 of the Eleventh Chan
Gerry Division, which, upon the recon-
mendation of this committee, has al
ready been abolished by an act of the
General Assembly.
"The Nineteenth Judicial Circuit.

) ishing this court, however, not to TAX
effect until the first day of September

ing regarded as necessary by the com
