Within two weeks Rice was on the

THE BABY'S LITTLE JOKE.
1t Worried the Fat Man. but He Tried
to Enjoy 1t.

1t happened in one of the late trains.
Everybody was trying to get TO sleep,
and when the voice of a baby was sud
denly lifted up in a robust wall it was
not met with expressions of joy. II
cried steadily from Spring Garden
street to Columbia avenue. Then it
accidentally dropped n pasteboard box
it had. \ very stout and, like his kind,
very affable man across the aisle
stopped heavily and picked it up.
The child stopped crying as it took
it and promptly dropped it again. The
man, thinking it an accident, picked
it up once more. This time the baby
actually smiled, and as he threw it
down audibly cooed with delight. The
man looked distinctly uncomfortable
and became interested in something
outside the window. The child looked
at the box a moment, then at the man,
and seeing nothing else, resumed his
wall, with much added wind. The
look Of despair resettled on the face of
the woman with the headache, and she
gave a conyulsive shudder rs she felt
her head beginning to jump.
She gave one awful glance at the
baby and then leaned over to the stout
man, back of whom she was sitting.
"My dear sir" said She Il have VIC
lent headache, and | am in misery.
Won't you please pick up that box
again." And with a highly artificial
smile he complied. out of pure cour-
tcsy he became box lifting autom-
atom, his piles of adipose making each
stoop come harder. But when he wip-
ed the perspiration from his brow and
staggered out of the car at German
town he got a grateful smile from the
afflicted woman, as well as every other
passenger, that he felt paid him.

TO AMEND THE GoEBEL LAW.
johnson Bill Embodies the Only
Changes 10 BE Made.

Frankfort, KY. March s.-The Johnson
bill amending the Goebel election law by
removing the party emblems from the bal
lots was advanced in the House to-day,
and this is construed by Democratic lead
ers to mean that this will be the only
amendment to the new law at this session.
Mr. Henry Watterson has been strongly
advocating the repeal or modification of
the law, asserting that such step was
necessary to secure the united support of
Democratic factions in the state, and
Senator-eect Blackburn has also favored
liberal amendments to the law but It is
conceded that there will be no changes
at this session further than those in the
johnson bill.

KRUGER AND STEYN TO MEET.
Conference of Presidents VIII BE
Held in Free state.

London, March 3.--President Kruger is
said to have left Pretoria with the inten-
ton of meeting President Steyn. The
place where they will meet is not mem
toned but it is believed to be somewhere
in the Orange Free State
Those in South Africa who are CONVEX
SAINT with the effecta the recent reverses
have had on the Beers express the opinion
that the meeting of the two Presidents
is preliminary to a suggestion for nego-
tiations for peace But the closest OBJ
servers do not anticipate any sudden ces-
sation of hostilities and certainly, the
reports from the theater of war do not
tend to encourage the advocates of i'm
mediate peace. The Beers are apparently
rallying with their accustomed ability to
repair a temporary reverse and Great
Britain has yet to test their force as a
defensive power under the new conditions
of warfare.
Outside the meeting of the Presidents
there is no news indicative of any change
in the situation.

with an expression of profound sorrow on
the part of himself and his associates, the
death of Mr.. Eppes. He offered resolu-

unanimously adopted.

Washington, March S-Senator CLAY
does not believe that Hon. Fleming G.
duB enon is going to be a candidate for
the Senate against Senator Bacon. Sena-
tor Clay 50 expressed himself to-day.
He was not authorized, he said, to make
any declaration concerning Mr.. duBig-
mons purposes, but he felt that if the
latter was entertaining any intentions of
this kind, he would know it,
This statement on the part of Senator
Clay was brought out by the publication
in the Washington correspondence of the
savannah News. of a rumor to the effect
that Senator Bacon might have opposi-
ton for reelection in the person of the
well known Savannah lawyer who is so
important factor in Georgia politics.
When he read. the report referred to, SEN

81 do not think it at all likely that he
will be a candidate against Senator Ba-
con- said Senator Clay, referring to Mr..
duBignon. LAS everybody in Georgia
knows | am a warm friend of Mr.. du-
Bignon's personally and politically, and
] believe that If he had determined to
become a candidate 1 would have known
1t. He has a great many personal and
political friends in North Georgia, and
feel certain he has not intimated to any
of them a purpose of being a candidate
for the Senate.
There has been some newspaper con-
lecture on the subject, it is true, but so
far as | have been able to see, it has all
been conjectures. So far as / know, Mr..
duBignon has never given expression to
any utterance that would warrant the
suggestion that he intends to make the
race, and in the absence of such a state
ments and in view of all the. circum-
stances, 1 consider it extremely improb-
able that he has had any such purpose in
view"
In view of the close relationship between
Mr., duBignon and Senator Clay, this ex-
preston from the latter is considered sig
niicant.
