The speaker was a merber OF the the

not a thousand miles from the Inquirer
building.
Jim came home the other night he
continued, hot and thirsty. We sized

best thing we could do was to go out and
get w glasses of beer with the money,
then come back and go to bed.

Well continued Jim, when I set the

cents and told him I wanted that much

cash drawer, grabbed a glass. filled it
with beer from the tap, emptied it in the
pitcher, filed it again, emptied it again
in the pitcher, showed the latter toward
me, said Than you,' and turned to
wait on someone else Say. I was so
dazed that I couldn't say a word and

out. See if you can see any beer in it

sketch of His Life

William Lyme Wilson was born May 8, 1S4S, in Jefferson County, Va. His parents were Benjamin and Mary Lyme Wilson. He was educated at Charleston Academy and Columbian College, where he graduated in 1860.
 After graduation MT. Wilson studied at the University of Virginia until the war came on, when he enlisted in the Confeder- ate army.

In 1890 he was delegate to the Dem- ocratic National Convention at Cincinnati and was an elector at large on the Hancock ticket.
 In 1882 he became president of the West Virginia University, but resigned the next year to accept the position of Congressman. He served from the Forty-eighth Congress, to and including the Fifty-third Congress- He was chairman of the committee on ways and means of the Fifty-third Congress and carried through the measure repeating the purchasing clause of the Sherman law and also the tariff bill which bore his name.
 Columbian University conferred on the deceased the degree of L. L. D. in 1883 and he received the same honor from numer- ous other institutions. In 1890 he refused

MISTAKE OCCURRED
Elias Howe is Not One of the Inn
 mortals

New York, October H.-Chancellor Mo- Cracken of the University of New York, re- quests that the following be published:
 By reason of a clerical error (the mis- reading of single figure) in our canvass of the reports of the 100 electors of the Hall of Fame, 53 votes were credited to Elias Howe instead of A. Seventeen chief justices were recorded as supporting him, when the num- Der was Il. Failing, therefore, to receive 51 votes. his name is not included among those to be inscribed this present year. This re- duces the roll of names to 29, and leaves H vacant panels to be filled two years hence, in 1902. The official count will be published In few weeks in the book of the Hall of Fame. In few instances the figures may vary slightly from those published in the public prints, but the roll of 29 names is now assured Very kindly yours,

PECULIAR CASE
 OF CRIMINALITY Nine Year Old Boy Charged with
 Horse Stealing. NEWS OF MARSHALL COUNTY Circuit Court Attracts Large Crowds to Guntersville- Marked Decrease in Crime-Burnett Has Best Chances
 for Congress.
NEWS OF MARSHALL COUNTY

Guntersville, October 17.-(Special LA criminal case of peculiar interest, the prin- cipal in which Is perhaps the most juvenile prisoner in the history of the State. when the seriousness of the offense is consd- cred, has engaged the attention of the au- thorities of this county resulting in the ar- rest of lad less than 10 years old on the charge of horse stealing. The boy, whose name Is Johnson, was brought in Monday by d number of citizens. The boy has given the community much trouble at divers times, and has frequently been arrested by the town authorities of Booz on different charges
 Some days ago 8 horse and saddle were missing and on investigation it was found that the boy had also disappeared. Accord ing to the story of his pursuers he was chased through the counties of Etowah and Dekalb and into Cherokee before he was caught. It is alleged that he was trying to sell the horse, but on account of his age and extreme youthful appearance could find no one who would trade with him.
 The Circuit Court of Marshall has been drawing the usual crowds for the-past two weeks, and still holds forth as the chief attraction of the county. The Grand Jury adjourned with only twenty-seven bills, as against eighty-seven last term, showing great falling off in crime. The docket con tains but two capital cases, thich is some thing almost unknown in this county yet there hangs over the court lengthy dock ct of minor offenses
 Burnett and Spears and their campaign orators made trip through this communi- ty. Crowds were out to hear them, and 1t seems that Burnett has the best of it, but 1t is all done quietly and peacefully.

STARTS WITH A COLD.
Catar1h is a Lingering Cold Which Re- fuses to Yield to Ordinary Treatment

Catar1h is Lingering Cold Which Re-
 fuses to Yield to Ordinary Treatment
 Catarrh usually starts with cold in the head and if left unchecked in this climate, rarely gets well of itself.
 As fresh cold is taken the disease spreads, getting deeper and deeper, creeping along the mucous membranes from nose to throat, from throat to windpipe, from windpipe to bronchial tubes and from bronchial tubes to lung cells.
 The mucous membranes all connect, one with another. Hence it is easy to spread from one part to another lined with this same membrane. This Is why catarrh In the head soon effects the throat and finally the stomach itself, bringing on chronic catarrh of the stomach, which is a most obstinate form of dyspepsia.
 Everybody Is now we'll agreed that catarrh Is a blood disease and not local one. and the attempt to cure by local applications simply gives temporary relief from the purely local symptoms without the remotest effect in staying the progress of the dis ease.
 There Is new preparation recently off, fered to the public that Is apparently des- tined to do away with every other form of catarrh treatment.
 This new remedy is not secre. patent medicine, but is large, pleasant tasting tablet composed of Sauguinaria, Eucalyptol, Guaicol Hydrastin and other valuable and harmless specifies, which are taken inter- nally and seem to have remarkably bene- ficial effect upon the blood and mucous membranes, apparently eliminating the ca. tarrhal poison from the whole system.
 These tablets while being pleasant, con- venient and absolutely safe to use have made cures in long standing cases of ca- tarrh that are nttle short of marvellous They are sold by druggists under name of Stuarts Catarrh Tablets, and any catarrh sufferer who has tried inhalers, lotions ointments, salves, etc., and realized their in- convenience and uselessness will fully ap- preciate the difference between mere pal Native and a permanent cure after giving Stuarts Catarrh Tablets an impartial trial
 All druggists sell them at 50 cents for full sized package and no matter where the catarrh is located In the head, throat lungs or stomach, Stuart's Catarrh Tablets will surprise you with the effective results of even few days use.
