The authorship of the southern words
Of Dixie ,"'Live and die in Richmond"
is again settled. this time by Mr.. r.
G. Powell, of Wilmington, Delaware.
He says the author of the words was
Mr. E. X. Harris, the son of the promi-
nent physician Of GAINESVILLE, this state
and that they were first printed In the
Richmond Dispatch in the summer Of
1861. Mr.. Powell says Of the author
that he was valiant soldier, and
after the war he returned home. married
and was elected prosecuting attorney
for his county He was respected and
loved by all who knew him. He died
before arriving at old age. All this
refers only TO the southern words Of
the song. or, to the song in the south
and its author, and not, as the New
York Sun, from which we get the
particulars, seems to imply, to the
original words or music of Dixie These
were undoubtedly Of northern origin and
adaptation. Mr.. Harris. II MIR. Powell
states the facts correctly, further adapt
ed the words to southern conditions In
1861. Index Appeal.
E. K. ''Ras" Harris was brilliant
young man. If The Free Lance mistakes
not he was on one Of the Democratic
electoral tickets in 1850 he stood well ut
the University of Virginia. Some body
or society has decided that there is no
music in Dixie, but Abraham Lincoln
enjoyed its strains, but little less than
the recitation Of his favorite poem of
''oh why should the spirit of mortal be
proud
And whenever band strikes its first
notes, North or South. instantly there
is attention and appreciation and sincere
enjoyment No tribute could be higher.
1t is an old strain that is always and
everywhere inspiring. Hurrah for
"Dixie. May the tune never be forgot

Sentenced to Sunday School.

Toledo, Ohio, May 25.-One of the
most peculiar sentences ever passed
upon a person in an Ohio court was
given a Wood county boy, at Bowling
Green, by Mayor A. r. Campbell.
Mayor Campbell once fined himself for
a misdemesnor.
Young Firsden is the terror Of the
village, and although fourteen years
old, had just finished serving thirty
days sentence in Jail.
When arraigned before Mayor Camp
bell he was sentenced to attend Sunday
School and church at the Disciples
Church every Sunday for eight weeks, or
go to jail for twenty days. Upon pre-
senting certificate from his Sunday
School teacher at the end Of that time
he is to be paid 81 for good conduct.

No Peace for the President.

Washington, May % 1t was a remark.
able coincidence that just before the
President looked from the White House
windows yesterday at the peace jubilee
parade he was given the intelligence OF
the killing and wounding of number
of our soldiers. Prior to that some one
had called his attention to the last re.
marks Of his former Secretary of State
Hon. John Sherman, on his expansion
policy.
Naturally, the President did not feel
very responsive over the huzzahs Of the
populace. He could not feel very happy,
either, over the report which comes as
to the condition Of the gallant Ne
braska Regiment, which is coming
home. OF 1.OS9 who originally went

there are only 200 left fit for duty.

The Nav Conference

The Richmond correspondent Of the
Index Appeal says:
There are many evidences that the
proceedings Of the May conference have
not given satisfaction to some of the ad-
vocates Of the movement. One Of the
distinguished signers, who desires not
to be quoted, made this statement to
me today: II told my friends when
they first talked Of calling the confer
ence that it was entirely useless to try
to defeat Mr. Martin. They did not
agree with me in this matter and con-
tended that il the movement should be
started and Mr.. Martin decline to 90

antagonistic sentiment would be aroused
toward him he would be beaten. /

tors. realize now that the movement
cannot succeed in this State with only
fractional part Of the party support
ing 1t.
mot only has Mr. Martin not been
hurt, but l believe he is growing strong
or every day The fact that no one
will come out and run against him
shows what they think Of his strength.
The same correspondent in another
letter says:
A gentleman who claims to know
something Of Representative Jones

gresham will run for the Senate II

Jones is exceedingly anxious for some
one to come ont as the opponent Of the

What GOV. Evans Saws.

The Washington, d. O., Star of We'd
nesday says:
"Ex-Gov. John Gary Evans, of South
Carolina, who as q member Of Gen.
Ludlow's staff at one time had charge
OF the city of Havana, called at the
White House today. He returned from
Cuba about three weeks ago His &C.
counts of Cuban conditions are most in
teresting. He is firm believer in an
nexation. If you could have seen the
army that marched into Havana behind
Gomez you would have acknowledged
the impossibility of decent self govern
ment on that island. OF all the hetero-
geneous assemblages ever gathered this
was the worst. Ooxey's army was a
company Of aristocratic gentlemen by
comparison. All this talk about the
patriotism of the Cuban army is a
myth. They were largely actuated by
desire for plumber and for Office. They
now want to rule the island because they
see their chances of looting the treas
ury will not be good so long as 1t re-
mains under American control. TO
turn the island over to the Oubans
would be worse crime against civil
ization than to have allowed the Span
ish to rule it. There would be a revo'
luton every two months. There is such
a terrible mixture of population, with
no pride of birth, and no training IN
decent and orderly civil government,
that little could be hoped from native
rule. The intelligent property owning
classes are unanimous for annexation.
They see no other way out of 1t. I'm
der proper government, this would be
one Of the most prosperous islands in
the world 1t is green all the year
round, rich in forests and minerals. "

Il Norfolk Afraid Of the Reina Mercedes I

The Navy Department is making
ready to receive the captured and raised
| Spanish cruiser Reina Mercedes. at the
Norfolk navy yard. If it can succeed In
allaying the apprehension OF the Norfolk
az to the safety OF the movement The
ship is now lying In Hampton Roads
| in the custody Of the Merritt and Chap
man WreckinR Company, which raised
her from the bottom Of Santiago bay,
and they will turn her over to the United
States as soon as they can rid themselves
of her.
Coming from Cuba, the quarantine
officers are particular to establish the
fact that she is free from fever, about
which some of the people Of Norfolk are
alarmed Ever since the epidemic Of
1855 the inhabitants of the city have
dreaded Yellow Jack, aud the slightest
suspicion Of fever aboard an incoming
ship has been sufficient to cause her TO
be detained or sent elsewhere.
When the wounded sailors from Ger
vera's fleet were brought there last sum
mer on the Solace, the naval officials
had great difficulty in overcoming the
opposition of the Virginians to their
landing
In the present case there has been some
telegraphic correspondence between the
Navy Department and Admiral Farqu-
har, oOmmsndant at the Norfolk navy
yard, respecting the admission Of the
ship to the navy yard Surgeon Gen
eral Van Keypen has given the matter
his personal attention and, recalling the
fact that the Mercedes has been under
water since early last July, that there
never was fever aboard Of her, and
finally that there is no fever at Santiago
when she came, he has recommended
to Assistant Secretary Allen. who is
directly in charge of the repairs Of ships
that the original plan be carried out,
and that the Mercedes be brought to the
Norfolk navy yard Surgeon General
Wyman Of the marine hospital service.
was first consulted by Surgeon General
Van Reypen, inasmuch as he is in charge
Of the national quarantine service at
Norfolk and he declared that there
would be no danger in adopting this
course, particularly as he would under
take to have the Mercedes thoroughly
disiniected and cleansed.
The Navy Department has not yet
received the application Of the New
York board of aldermen to have the
ship sent to New York, but unless the
Norfolk authorities interfere, the Mer-
cedes will not be sent north before she
is repaired. A board Of inspection will
be appointed Immediately to survey
the ship and estimate the cost Of put
ting her in thorough repair. and it is
probable that the board Of naval bureau
chiefs will have to canvass its report
and 90 over the plans.
