CHAPTER Y.

There had been a morning OF jubilee
in the camp OF the Fifth Separate bri-
gade, and a row in the tents of the reg
ulars. Up to within fortnight such
a state of affairs would have been con-
sidered abnormal, for the papers would
have it that the former were on the
verge OF dissolution through plague,
pestilence and famine due to the neg
'ect OF officials vaguely referred to as
the military authorities or the
staff" while up to the coming of Can
ker TO command sweet accord had
'eigned in the regular brigade, and the
counters looked on with envy. But
now great martial magnate had
praised the stalwart citizen soldiery
whom he had passed in review early in
the day, and set them to shouting by
the announcement that, as reward for
their hard work and assiduous drill,
they should have their hearts desire

known for four days that that partic-
ular command would be selected for
the next expedition, but it tickled "the
boys" TO have it put that way, and the
home papers would make so much Of
it. So there was singing and triumph
and rejoicing all along the eastern
verge OF a rocky, roughly paved cross
Street, and rank blasphemv across the
way. To the scandal and sorrow of the
--teenth infantry some of the recent
robberies had been traced to their very
doors. A commssary sergeant had
weakened" a cartman had squealed,
and one Of the most popular and at
tractive young soldiers in the whole
command was now prisoner in the

chanues in the Southern

The Southern Railway has made recent changes which will not only add much to the effectiveness of that great system, but will prove of vast benefit to the shippers of the South by bringing the active manage ment into closer touch with this section of the South
 The elevation of MT. J. S. B. Thompson to general agent, with executive powers over all the far southern section of the sys- tenn, is a deserved promotion, and one which will be hailed with delight, particu larly in Alabama, Georgia and Mississippi. Though yet young man, MT. Thompson ranks among the great practical railroad men of this country His judgment, ability and quick decision in the transaction of business makes him strong with the com mercial and manufacturing interests Per sonally he is a man of attractive address, and makes friends of the great corporation which he serves with such marked loyalty.
 MT John Dodson who becomes general superintendent for the western district, including Alabama with headquarters at Chattanooga, has been with the Southern for many years, and is not only one of the ablest practical railroad men in the coun- try, but one of the brightest fellows in the world of railroad men.

MT, CieyeIand's Attitude.

The position taken by MT. Cleveland and by Mir Carlisle, and by Nice Too" Bene- dict, is one that they cannot we'll define for these men do not propose to vote at all. Government in this country is by party Not one wishes it otherwise. It is not ideal but it is the only practicable way in which millions of voters can act. Every citizen who has his countrys wei fare at heart is expected to make his choice between the two parties of the country, unless indeed he be crank, and in that case he can find a ticket in the list of scattering" But if a man be not a crank, he is to choose between the two tickets and platforms of the two great parties of the country. He may consider both unwise but between the two there must be choice, and it is every citizens duty to accept the lesser of two evils
 For no man can repudiate both without repudiating his country, or without for the time being, expatriating himself It is a mistake to think that in a Republic a man has a moral right to abstain from voting. He may do so without mourning legal penalties, but he cannot do so with out incurring the laws that appeal or should appeal, to his conscience. MT. Cleveland and MT. Carlisle have no right to throw off their duty to their country. They should vote. Even a vote for Ding leyism and McKinleyism is better than no vote al all. for the latter is a declaration against the government and the Republic and the constitution and all the rest of our institutions.
 Mr. Clereland's attitude is not only high y ungrateful in view of the support ac- corded him by Democrats of all schools throughout twelve long years, but it is d blow aimed at the Republic itself.

FOUR INDICTMENTS
Against Coroner Mccullough Charging
 Malfeasance in Office,

Louisville, Ky, October 29-While Coro- ner Hugh McCullogh was on the witness stand testifying in a murder trial hts tes- timony was interrupted by the grand jury reporting. An indictment was returned against the coroner charging malfeasance in office and containing four counts All four charge that Coroner Mccullough fay- ored two firms of undertakers in cases of unknown dead, the chances being good in the case of an unknown corpse that when the family is found the burial contract will go to the undertaken having the remains II is charged that the coroner in four cases received amounts from sl5 to so Coroner Mccullough is under indictment for killing George Owen.
 The grand jury reported today an indict- ment against Policeman Maurice Dooling, charging him with putting a knife in the yard of George Owens house where the killing occurred, or, in police phrase, planting it m order that the knife might be used as evidence to strengthen McCul- logh's plea of self-defense. The technical charge against Dooling is being anxiously awaited.
 The grand jury last week indicted the members of the local undertakers' asso- citation, charged with being a trust. While under examination the undertakers made statements which caused the indictment of the coroner.

SHE RANG THE WRONG BELL

From the Pittsburg News.
 "I never felt so mortified in my life," said the Southside girl to her friend on her re- turn to Chicago. I'm not used to those big hotels, you know, and we had rooms at the Palmer House. We got in at night, four of us three women that didn't know very well and myself. They are married to members of papa's post, and that is why we were together. One of them wanted to send a postal card home to tell of her safe arrival She said she would go down stairs for it. To show them that I had often said we would call a boy and have a pos tai card brought up to our room. I rang the bell, and in little while knock came I went to the door and the boy gave me a pitcher of ice water and hurried away I thought that wasn't the boy answering the bell. So I waited, and rang again A-sth- CT pitcher of ice water came. The boy got away again. l was determined to have tbe postal card, and rang the third time. This time 1 waited at the door for the boy He came, and before I could open my mouth he handed me a pitcher and scooted away. l got angry, and I just made that old bell ring the fourth time. The boy came up and looked mad. He had another pitcher of ice water. Lady he said, if you want any more ice water you'll have to send back some of those pitchers; we're running short of them. D

GOLD NUGGET WORTH s154,ooo

From the New York World.
 The biggest nugget of gold ever received at the assay office in Wall street, according to Superintendent Andrew Mason, arrived Thursday from the Cariboo Consolidated Hydraulic Mining Company in British Co., lumbia. It was consigned to the New York agents of the Bank of Montreal at 61 Wall street. The nugget contained fraction over 753 pounds of the solid yellow metal and is valued at $154,000. It came in a solid cone the shape of a beehive and stood about two feet in height. This cone was wrapped in canvas and fitted with an oblong box made of two-nch blanks and heavily bound with iron. The gold was held firmly in the box by two wooden wedges driven in from the top. Two heavy iron rings were set in the sides of the rough box and through these were fitted wooden bars, by which the box was lifted. It required four men to remove it from the truck in the assay office to the scales.

PRESIDENTS WORK NEVER DONE

From the Ladies Home Journal.
 A separate office building for the presi- dent has been much talked of and even se- riously discussed, but when the routine daily life of the president is considered it will be found to be more convenient for him, and more conducive to the transaction of public business, to add to the present White House rather than to build at a dis tance from it. The president can have no set hours for his work, and necessarily does also times when he works early and late and while he may not always need to be at his desk he requires his tools-papers, records, clerks, messengers, etc, always weather. A president cannot close his desk at a fixed hour and go away to a separa te home until office hours next day There are many matters brought to his attention at all hours of the day, after office hours as well as during them,. some of which must be settled at once, and he may need to re- fer to office records or to use a clerk. As a matter of fact a president does very little of his routine office work, such as signing papers, dctatng, etc., during office hours for his time is then taken up for the most part in seeing people and it can never be otherwise in our country. This a very practical argument against having his house and office separated.
