turned to Montgomery yesterday morning from their Lowndes County trip. Both were well pleased with their reception. The meet ing was all that they could have asked. Their reception was warm and they spoke to attentive and interested hearers.
 Colonel Thompson was looking well, and was enthusiastic over the hopeful aspect of his campaign. The events of the past week have increased and widened the sentiment for him. From every side he has received encouragement.
 Today on the streets scores of men shook hands with him and wished him success. Many of these were strangers-men that he did not know personally. Some of them told him that before this they did not favor him. but they believed that he had already won the nomination, and they hoped that his title would be confirmed by the primar- ies
 Already from different portions of the dis trict hopeful and confident reports are be- Ing received.
 Colonel Thompson spoke as follows of the contest:
 When the decree of the State Executive Committee came to me, I felt that great injustice had been done me and my fol- lowers in the Fifth District, who constitute an overwhelming majority of the Demo- crats, by forcing upon us the additional burden of another primary and depriving me of the time that is so needful in the campaign against the Republican nominee, but since visiting the home county of my opponent and hearing the expressions or numbers of the best citizens of Lowndes, l delighted with the idea that the Dem- ocrats of the district will have the privilege of doing just what l advocated at the be- ginning; that is, expressing their choice un- trammeled at the polls.
 'I feel confident that I will carry every county in the district by an overwhelming majority, except Lowndes, and 1 am as- sured by some of the best citizens of the county that I will get nearly as many as my opponent.
 'I am rightfully and justly the Democrat ic nominee of the Fifth District. have con- fdence in the honesty and integrity of the Democrats who constitute the splendid citi- zenship of my district, and when the roll is called Saturday week, my nomination will be confirmed in no uncertain voice.
 "The unjust. the infamous insinuations made against me by some of the partisan newspapers which were false as the claims of my opponent will be rebuked by the honset voters of the district who gave me such loyal support in the last con test.
 Conventions and committees may be ma nipulated, but our State Executive Commit tee is composed of some of the best men in the Democratic party, and notwithstand- ing the fact that some of them have diff fered with me heretofore, they rose above paltry prejudice and repudated the wrongs that had been perpetrated upon me and my constituents in the district by the district committee.
 "The Democrats of the district have been divided, but they are now united and the settlement by tht primary will wipe out all bitterness and restore that good fellow ship that should always exist among Democrats."

They Forgot Their Latin
London Tit-Bits.

From the London Tit-Bits
 Two well-dressed gentlemen visiting Lon don strolled in the vicinity of handsome new structure.
 "Wonder what this is?" quered one, cast ing his eye about for a cornerstone. "Ah! there is an inscription on the wall. Latin. Funny place to put it. Post Nobls' Let's see. I've forgotten most of my Latin; what do you make out of it?'
 The other adjusted his eyeglasses, criti- cally surveyed the inscription, and re- turned:
 Hum! Post means after of course but 'nobils' gets away with me. Nobils, nobils. no-Ill have to give it up Let's inquire next door"
 Thereupon they sought out the intelli- gent custodian of the building, and put their question.
 What does that there inscription mean?" the man repeated after them, in a pitying tone. Ut means just exactly what it says. and forty shillings fine into the bargain if you go posting any bills about this place."

The Wom of the Moment

The Empress Dowager of China, as de- scribed by an English lady who has spent the greater part of her life in the Celestial Empire is a much more remarkable wo- man than most people suppose.
 She is an ardent painter, and her pie lures are said to be admiraelb specimens of the Chinese art. Strange as 1t may seem, Her Majesty is also said to be fond ol wrestling, and frequently indulges in this rather virile form of exercise. She is well read, is fond of music, and has some skill as a pianist.
 She is said both by her friends and enc mics to be absolutely without any sense of fear and, needless to say. her life has been attempted a number of times.

HORSE BREAKS INTO PARLOR
The Frightened Animal Dashes Into
Room In n Washington
. Hotel.

The %proverbial "bull in the china
shop" was emulated about 4:30 o'clock
the other morning when a runaway
horse dashed into the ladies' parlor
Of the Ebbitt house, Washington, de-
stroying plate glass, chandeliers, fur
niture and bric-a-brac to the estimated
value Of $40O. That more serious
damage did not result was due to the
fact that the horse was promptly got
under control.
The horse was enc Of a pair at
tached to the 'hurry-up," or repair,
wagon of q local street railway COM
pany, which had been called out to
repair the line. The team was fright
ened by frecrackers and ran away.
The one which did the damage be-
came separated from its mate and
dashed into the ladies' entrance and
parlor Of the hotel, where it became
maddened by its confinement
The frightened hotel employees and
guests en- dishabille subdued- the an
imal and led him into the street. The
railway company promptly agreed to
pay for the damages. Fortunately the
hour was extremely early and nobody
was hurt.

BATTLES WITH LION IN CAGE
Trainer at Philadelphia Shoots an
) Enraged Beast Before q
Large Crowd.

6pringing suddenly upon Ricardo, his
trainer, Wallace, the lion of the
"Anglo-American School of Zoology"
at Woodside park, Philadelphia, caught
the man by the left arm and would
have killed him but for the prompt ac-
ton on the part Of Ricardo and the at
,tendants. IS
No exhibition had been given with
the lion since the show had come from
Chester several days ago. The heat
had irritated the big animal and had
made his ugly temper ever worse than
it is ordinarily. He was FESTIVE and
hard to control. No n except Ricardo
would go near the brute.
Every afternoon the trainer en-
tered the cage to give Wallace his daily
exercise. Ricardo went into the cage
about four o'clock in the afternoon for
a drill with the lion. He had scarcely
entered when Wallace sprang at him
and; caught him by the left arm below
the elbow. The lion bit him a second
time in the lower part of the arm.
As he did SO Ricardo shot at him with
the revolver which he was carrying in
his right hand. He missed but the shot
scared the lion and he released the
trainer. Attendants of the show, run
ming up, kept the big brute in one cor
ner of the cage while others dragged
Ricardo out through the door.
His left arm was lacerated and the
flesh torn from the bones. The arm
began to swell at once, and Ricardo
was taken in a hurry to the Presby-
terrain hospital. After having the
wounds treated and dressed the trainer
returned to the show. Hundreds of ex-
cited people witnessed the attacks.

GUN CARRIAGE CONTROVERSY.
Contention Between Gems. Miles, Buf.
Angton and Wilson Referred to
Board Of Ordnance.

The controversy on disappearing
gun carriages which was waged SO
fercely between Gen. Miles and Gen.
Burlington, chief of ordnance, and
Gen. Wilson, army chief Of engineers,
has been carried to the board or ord
nance and Notifications. Gen. Miles
in . communication to the secretary
Of war last October called attention
to what he believed was a fatal and
costly error Of this government in
building so many expensive disappear
ing gun carriages as mounts for the
big guns Of our coast defense. He
called attention to the practice Of
foreign governments who maintain
similar Notifications. The disappear
ing gun carriage system was prac-
tically abandoned abroad, and he be-
lieved that this government is build
ing too many such types of mounts.
His position in the matter was COM
bated by Gen. Burlington and Gen.
Wilson, and a good deal of volumin-
u and somewhat spicy official cor
respondence was exchanged. The
fight came out in q hearing before o
senate subcommittee on appropria-
tioRs, which had charge OF the an
nual Notifications bill and there was
a threatened open rupture between
headquarters Of the army and the
army ordnance Office of the chief Of
engineers. The conflict was averted
by Secretary Root, who sent for the
officers and insisted that the contro-
versy should be conducted on strictly
technical lines.
The question raised by Gen. Miles
has now been referred to the board OF
ordnance and Notifications, of which
Gen. Miles, is president and Gems. Will
son and Burlington are members. The
impression prevails that the two lat
ter will agree with the main points
named by Gen. Miles and that the
board will sustain his original po-
sition.
