probably the only place in the world
that is run entirely by women. This
state is made up Of seven villages,
each presided over by a mayoress, the

president. There are women magis-

RICHEST MAN IN THE WORLD.
Belief Thai jain d. Rockefeller
Has Reached That Distinction.

New York, Nov. 26.-New proof
of the probable truth of Andrew
Carnegle's statement that John d.
Rockefeller is the richest man in
the world was given in the offer of
$500 share for $500 shares of
Standard Oil stock, to be delivered
January l, next. The offer was
made in the Waldorf Astoria Thurs
day evening by Congressman Jeffer;
son M. Levy.
Assuming that Mr!Leyy is not
anxious to pay more than the ac-
tual value for Standard Oh stock,
the holdings of Mr.. Rockefeller in
that company must be worth ap
proximately $500, 100000. AS is
we'll known, Mr.. Rockefeller has
large, interests in many concerns
besides Standard Oil. If he had in
creased his wealth in no other di-
rection than through his Standard
Oh stock during the last year he
would still be worth about sos, ,000,-
600 more than he was a year ago.
Mr.. Rockefeller annual income
from his holdings of Standard Oil
stock alone is estimated at about
S16, 900, 600.

CASE TRANSFERRED,
Eighty Thousand Acres Involved
in the Suit.

The case involving the ownership
of Reelfoot lake has been by agree
ment transferred to Obior county,
Tenn, aud will be tried at the next
term of court.
The record in the case is the most
voluminous of any ever heard IN
any court. If the property is proved
to be that of Major Harris. it is his
intention to drain great portion Of
the lake, and convert it into an i'm
mense corn and cotton plantation.
He claims that he Will only drain a
portion of the lake, Which would
leave the deep basins in It, there
fore making better fishing ground
than ever; but others contend
that if drain is dus. the water
will wash it deep enough to empty
the lake of all water. The claim is
also made that draining the lake
would leave stagnant pools all over
it that would produce great deal
of sickness. When Major Harris
bought the claims of the Louisville,
Ky, Outing Club to the lake some
two years ago for $500, he began
big ditch from the lake to the
Mississippi, several miles away,
but had dug but hundred or two
yards when the fishermen enioined
him and work. was stopped until
his right to drain the lake could be
decided by the courts. There are
about 80 acres of land involved in
the suit.

WHAT'S IN A NAME2
Row Gentle Annie Was Driven to Tears
by a Kind Mistress.

We telephoned to the intelligence
office for a cook. As Annie was the
only name given on her card from
the office, we inquired her surname.
Annie" | said, "what is the rest
of your name?"
That is it, was thereby.
yes" continued, Il know you
name is Annie, but Annie what?"
THAT is it, tell you, missus," she
said with a broad smile.
You have two names surely" !
insisted, "a first name and a second
name. Now. what is your second
name:"
"Oh, missus,' She exclaimed, with
some impationce, i tell you that is

With rising dispIeasure, thinking
she was tnhing, ! said: Your name

viii never know. Yes, that is it.
For "a while ] sat in silent despair,
the girl eyeing me with arueful cCun-
tenancc, says writer in Lippincott's.
Finally a thought struck me.
Annie" l said, very mildly, ''what
is your fathers name"
"NIichael," was the doleful reply.
''AIichael WHAT" | almost gasped,
feeling that was suddenly becoming
a parrot.
But like the eternal "Nevermore"
of Poe's Raven came the echo:
"That is it,"
A sudden illumination! Perhaps
mine is the dull brain.
"What do you put on your fathers
letters!" | next interrogated.
"That is what | must put on OF
he would not get them" was the sob
bing response,
Unwilling to give up after such a
trial, | asked, gently: GLOW do you
spell it!'
Slowly came the solution Of the Ell
igma: "W.a-c-h-t."

A NARROW ESCAPE.
Little Daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. w. F.
Werner Narrowly Escaped
Horrible Death.
GIVEN CORROSIVE sUBL1MATE

Mother Had Intended to Give the Child a
Harmless Emet1c and by Mistake Gave
1t Teaspoonful of Deadly Poison
Life Was Saved by Heroic Measures
Child Had Been Slightly Indisposed for
Several Days.
The little three-year-o1d daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. w. F. Werner, residing
on Grand avenue, had a narrow escape
from terrible death from poison last
evening, and had it not been for the
prompt action of neighbors, the child
would have died as result of a dose
of deadly corrosive sub1imate given
her by its mother. The child had been
slightly indisposed for several days
and the mother had called it about 10
O'Clock to give it a little dose of medi-
cine prescribed by DR.. Cheever.
In her haste she made mistake and
got hold of bottle containing the
deadly poison which was about the
house, for use as an external app1ica-
ton. The child was at once seized
with a violent attack of vomiting and
spasms, and the mother, making an
examination, was terrified when she
discovered her mistake. The child
was writhing in agony when the
shouts of the mother brought the
neighbors to the house, and doctor
was promptly sent for. In the mean
time one of the ladies obtained some
kerosene and gave the child large
amount of it, thus keeping it alive
until the doctor arrived
When the doctor arrived he found
the little girl in a terrible condition
lowering between life and death. The
mother was almost crazy and had to
be Conso1ed by her friends. After the
doctor had worked with the child for
several hours he succeeded in getting
most of the deadly poison out of her
system, but it will probably be some
time before the child RECEIVERS from the
effects of the poison.
DR.. Cheever was seen this afternoon
and stated that the little girl was much
better and it was not thought that any
further complications would come
on account Of the poison. The mother
is still suffering from the fright
brought about by the accident.
