The Shit Waist Man.

The shirt waist is of woman. for a
woman and by woman, and / don't
believe that men have any business
monkeying with such delicate fixing"
The man who wants to be No. 10
success in this world had better not
cavort around very much in the giddy
raiment of the Summer girl. This soft,
dreamy, poetic stuff with which wo-
man wraps up her sweet little anatomy,
is no more fit for o man to cover him
self with than saw-dust is to make
brides cake. The fellow who struts
around in silk shirt waist need not
expect the great plain people to whoop
him up for congress or tramp the green
grass in his front yard clear through to
the celestial empire, trying to obtain
his views on expansion or contraction,
My advice to a young man who wants
to get even one-third of the way up the
ladder Of fame, is to shuu the shirt
waist the same as he would shun green
apples or "corn ticker" that has the
pale cast of countenance peculiar to
kerosene oil. Exchange.

Infol nation Wanted.

EDITOR COMET;-Please state in this
weeks COMET, for the benefit of an in
quiring public, how the queen of john
son City's Carnival is chosen2 If this
power is vested in a committee, please
publish names of members of this COM
mittee. II this is Johnson City's Car
nival, should not Johnson City be in
terested in the choosing of her Queen?
"SPINsTER, i"
In reply to "Spinster" we want to
say that the Queen of the Carnival has
been selected by committee of young
men who are to act as outridess, or es-
corts, and who are to pay for the float
and the decorations. The selection
was made in this manner last year, and
it gave general satisfaction, and there
seemed to be no good reason for not
following that precedent this year. No
other mode was suggested by any one,
however much interest they may have
had in the event. Any suggestions
would have been gladly received and
carefully considered. The manner OF
selecting the Queen for similar occas-
ions differ in all cities, and there is
no custom to follow. 1t seemed to be
absolutely far to allow the young mer
who were to "pay the fiddler" to select
some one acceptable to themselves, an6
this has been done. The Queen anC
escorts have in like manner selected
seven maids of honor. We can assure
"Spinster" that it has been the desire
of the management of the Carnival, i
such thing exists, to please everybody
and offend none. 1t is not johnson
City's Carnival in the sense that John
son City pays for it, for there is nj
fund provided for this purpose Eacl
merchant or individual pays for hi
float or decorated vehicle in the parade
and the Queens float is provided b.
her escorts. THE COMET is pleased t
know there is so much interest in th
affair, and trusts the selections will b
as satisfactory as they are we'll chosen

Esteemed Citizen Dead.

Last Monday morning johnson City
was startled by the announcement that
Capt. Will Miller was dead. The facS
that he was even complaining was
known to only few persons. A few
weeks ago he received scratch on the
hand and was threatened with blood
poison for several days but got better,
and it was believed that he was out of
danger. On last Friday he developed
symptoms of typhoid fever and grew
rapidly worse until death ended his
suffering about ten o'clock Sunday
night. W. P. Miller was a native of
johnson City, having been born at the
old Sammy Miller homeplace more than
So years ago. When about 25 years old
he was married to Miss Sue Hunter, of
Virginia, and she and their five chill
dren survive. For Is years he had
been conductor on the E. L. & W. N.
@. railroad aud in this capacity has
made friends of the travelling public by
his meny acts of kindness and admir-
able traits of character. AS a citizen
johnson City has never known better,
and as q husband and parent he had no
superior. He had been a consistent
member of the NJ. E. church si1ce
early youth. The funeral was con-
Quoted at the late residence Monday
afternoon by Rev. G.. L. Rowan, as
sisted by ReY. j. A. Lyon and Rev. j.
r. Herndon. The remains were buried
in Oak Grove cemetery with Masonic
honors and were followed to their last
resting place by the largest concourse
of friends ever seen at funeral in this
city, eloquent testimony of the esteem
In which he was held by the community
in which he had spent a useful life.
The COMET begs to shed tear over the
grave Of the deceased and to join the
numerous friends in sympathy for the
bereaved family.

Mr.. Carmack.

The press of the country, including
the leading democratic dailies of the
great metropolitan cities, have been
lound in their praise of Mr.. Carmack
since his announcement as q candidate
for the senate and predicting for him
brilliant future. Among the many
splendid tributes paid him we copy the
following from the Washington City
Times, the leading democratic daily at
the national capital:
"The withdrawal Of Judge Snodgrass
from the senatorial race in Tennessee
leaves the field clear for the Hon. Ed
ward W. Carmack, OF Memphis. This
calls attention to the fact that Mr.. Car
mack's political career is one Of the
most brilliant and promising Of any
man of his time. Mr.. Carmack has
been an active participant in politics
for only six years, during which time
he has served two terms in congress
and is now winding up his third term
to step from the house into the senate.
He is only forty-two years old, though
he looks younger, and is one Of the
handsomest, as we'll as one of the bright

The Cal liYal Queen.

In some countries some girls are born
to wear crowns, but in America they
are oil born queens and selected 10
wear crowns. Johnson City has her
quote of uncrowned queens and has
been called upon to select one of the
number to wear crown during the
Carnival. This decision has been made
and Miss Gordon Henderson has been
chosen. The selection is most happy
one. Miss Gordon is one Of johnson
City's most lovable and popular society
young ladies and is one of the prettiest
girls in the state. She will reflect credit
upon the city.
Miss Henderson has selected as maids
of honor the following young ladies:
Misses Eva Carr, Willie Cox, Sauna
Biddle, Fannie Bolton, Lizzie Carr,
Mae Jones, of Roanoke, Nell Rains,
Of Chattanooga. These girls are all
popular and the south can not produce
seven more beautiful young ladies.
THE outriders are to be the following
young young society men: Messrs.
Will Johnson, Frank Miller, Andy
Spencer, Will Harris, Bob Martin,
Horace Miller, Sam Willard and Jas.
Summers.
Our distinguished townsman, Hon.
A. A. Taylor, has been unanimously
chosen aud consented to crown Che
Queen. This event will take place in
public square at noon on Tuesday be-
fore the parade forms.
Tuesday night there will be Carni.
val fancy dress masquerade ball in the
opera house. The admission will be
so cents and parties desiring TO dance
will have to obtain special tickets to be

will be masked and no one will be adj
mitted without the proper card

gagged to furnish music for the Fair. II
is one of the best bands in the state
and has 30 people. The band also has
a superb orchestra and this will furnish
music for the ball.

McKinlcY,s Acceptance.

Asa magnificent success in absolute
failure TIE COMET is prepared to une-
quivocally endorse the acceptance let
ter of the Hou Bill Mckinley of the
nomination to the Office which the H on.
Bill Bryan is to fill.
IT starts out with an evasion and ends
with an apology. Every line of it is an
eqniyocatiou, every syllable a decep-
ton and every letter a dodge. Com
pared with Bryan's letter of acceptance
it is as branch water compared with
Tennessee whiskey, The latter is
clear-cut aud distinct, bold and az
gressive, solid and very, very firm and
pronounced. The former is wishy-
washy, sloppy, subservient and time
serving. 1t is plea in confession and
avoidance, a merry-go-round on the
wheel Of politics. 1t bears ne ear
marks Of Mark Hanna and gives un-
mistakable evidence of the smooth
gloved hands of the Hon. Matthew
Stanley Quay and the Hon. Thomas
Cat Plat.

orous, statesmanlike expression in the
whole document. 1t is puerile through
out. From start to finish the marks o.

The Galveston Horror.

The relief committee at Galveston
estimates the number of dead at 1000.
Mayor Jones personal estimate is 8, O0O
Ten thousand people are shelterless
and utterly destitute. The work of
clearing up the city has begun. E.
tortiou, practiced at first, has been met
by force, and the militia, now in con
troll, is compelling men to work at the
point of the bayonet. Dead are being
carried out to sea and dumped into the
gulf. Where that is impossible the
dead are buried where found. Ghouls
were at work before the militia took
control, and many of the corpses were
robbed. The most urgent needs arc
water to drink, lime to allay pestilence
and candles, lamps and kerosene, for
the ruined city is without light au
water. After that must come provis-
ions and clothing, aud then money.
The response of the people Of the Uni
ted States has been prompt and gener-
GUS. From Houston trains are sent
away with water and supplies most
urgently needed. From large cities all
over the country are starting trains
with food and supplies, while from ev-
cry quarter money is being sent to
Gov. Sayers and to the citizens COM
mittee. Relief is also needed at fifty
smaller towns in Southern Texas, but
the restitution at these places is at
nothing compared to that at Galveston.
