JUDGES SHIRT WAIST.
New Jersey Jurist Appears on the
Bench Without His Coat.

The shirt waist has reached the
Supreme Court bench in Camden
County. n. j. The innovation was
made by Judge Garrison, who ap-
peared in court this morning and
took his seat on the bench, attired in
shirt waist of the approved pat
tern and without coat. The cos
tune, although most attractive to
the eye, caused a shock among the
Durt attaches, who, however, out Of
respect for the Judge, tried not to
notice that there was anything out
of the ordinary in the dress. Judge
Garrison is one of the best known
men on the Supreme Court bench.
He is a very dignified man and peo-
pie who know him well were aston
ished when they heard that he had
adopted the shirt waist as part Of
his court attire. To a friend who
was bold enough to ask HIM why he
had adopted the shirt waist he said
1t was because he thought IL a very
comfortable and sensible garment
for hot weather. He had expected,
he said. that some comment would
be made. but he thougbt he could
stand that in consideration OF the
comfort be derived from wearing the
shirt waist. Sheriff Sell has also be-
come convert to the new article OF
dress and appeared to day IN waist
and without q coat.-New York spe.

MRS. GEO. NICHOLS
Develops a Very Mild Case Of
Smallpox

Smallpox.
Mrs. Geo. Nichols, who lives on Walk
er Avenue, has mild case of smallpox,
and the yellow flag warns her friends
not to visit her. Her attending physi-
clan does not anticipate any trouble
from the case, and aside from the in
convenience of quarantine Mrs. Nichols
will perhaps not have very much
trouble.
Fortunately three of her children
were away on visit when Mrs. Nichols
was first taken sick, and neither has Mr..
Nichols been exposed to the conta-
gion. He has changed his boarding
house for the present and will not
go home any more until all danger is
over. There is no communication
between his store and his residence; his
dril do not even go there, and so far
as his customers are concerned there
will be no danger or trouble or incon-
venience of any kind. No restrictions
have been put upon him by his physi-
clan other than that he must stay away
from home, which, under the circum-
stances, he has consented to do; and his
children will also be kept with their
grand parents, Rev. and Mrs w. L.
Ussery, until the danger of contagion is
all GONE

vided that the Evans side would pull
off their State ticket and disband
their State Executive Committee, to
give the Evans men the electors and
committees in the Third, Fifth, sixth

withdraw one of their electors for

nominee. This was refused by the
Evans men without delay.
The Brownlow men also agreed to
give the Evans people the Secretary

mittee, which is to raise the cam
paign fund. which proposition was
received by the Evans side as rath-

THEY DECIDE
ON A PRIMARY.
Meeting Of the Congressional Com
mittee Friday Night.
Saturday, Sept. 8, the Date for the
Strict Rules IN Re
gard to Qualification
of Voters.

The Democratic Executive Committee
for this. the Seventh Congressional Dis
trict, met at the Bethel House in this
city Friday night, and decided to call
primary election on Saturday, Sept. 8,
for the purpose of nominating Demo
cratic candidate for Congress from this
district.
The Chairman, T. H. Meredith of Law
renee county, presided, and the following
members were in attendance: Messrs.
Anderson of Dixon, T. j. Whitley of
Wayne, N. B. Cheairs of Maury and
Judge Eggleston of Williamson. D. r.
Wade of Giles, was represented by n.
B. Cheairs; Frank Carroll of Lewis, by
w. j. fowler, and S. G.. Caruthers of
Hickman, by w. V. Flowers.
Previous to the meeting of the Com
mittee, there had been some opposition
to holding a primary-Mr. Padgett's
friends taking the primary side of the
question-but the opposition, seeing the
handwriting on the wall, succombed to
the inevitable, and consequently there
was no objection urged before the COM
mittee.
The question of the time for holding
the primary provoked some discussion,
and Mr.. Whitley of Wayne, who wanted
later date than Sept.S, voted against
the resolution.
The rules adopted regarding the
qualification of voters are very strict.
Upon this point Judge Eggleston of
Williamson, urged that only white
Democrats be allowed to vote, In his
county, he said there we're always in the
primary election five hundred or more
negro voters, who for the sum of 81 each
would go to the polls and swear they
were Democrats, but who in November
vote the Republican ticket; and these
condition, he had heard, prevailed, more
or less, in other counties in the district
For this reason he was in favor ofallow-
ing only white Democrats to vote. A
clause in accordance with his views was
Incorporated in the resolutions. Ever,
member of the committee was present ol
reprec ented by proxy, and the meeting
was harmonious and pleasant through
out.
The resolutions adopted, which were
introduced by Mr.. Flowers, are as fol
lows:

The BREACH
GROWS WIDER.
Evans and BrOwnlow Factions Fail
To Make Peace.
Both Will Keep Their Tickets In the
Field, and Evans Will Try to Get
Brownlow's and Gibson's
Scalps.

NASHVILLE. Aug. 10. After
numerous meetings and conferences,
lasting thee days, the two Republi-
can factions in Tennessee, led hy
Congress Waller Z. Brownlow, i,
of the First District, and Pension
Commissioner H Clay Evans, split
wide open yesterday afternoon on
the harmony negotiations, aid ut
present the gulf between the two
wings of the party is wider than
ever. The fight will continue very
warm I'll rough the Campaign and
some finn may he looked Tor curing
the next few months.
Pens .or Commissioned Evans can
didates will be:
For Governor-W. +. Poston, of
Alamo.
For Railr, ad Commissioner-W.
ID. Owen, of McMInn county.
The Brownlow candidates will be !:
For Goveruor-John e. Mccall, OF
Lexington.
For Railroad Commissioner-W.
G. Hornsby, of West Tennessee
In addition to these tickets there
will be two separate aud distinct
sets of electors in the State aud Con-
gressional Districts.
Evans Men After Scalps.
The Evans men will put out candi-
dates for Congress in the First and
Second districts to run against Con-
gressmen Brownlow and Gibson, and
will wage redhot campaign, with
view of defeating the two Con-
gressmen for re election. Iu these
districts the Evans men claim 10
have strong following enough
men to control the majorities the
TWO Congressman have heretofore
received. BY cutting off this
stl ength they expect to manipulate
things in such shape that the Repub-
lcan vote will be BADLY split. This
may result in the election OF a pair
of Democratic Congressman from the
East Tennessee districts.
In the conference propositions
were made by both sides, but they
were very far apart. The EVANS
people, perhaps, made the tairesi
suggestion at the meeting, in which
they agreed to Withdraw both ticket:
ana provide for d committee to put d
harmony ticket in the field.
After the reading of this PROPOSE.
tion came lall. A whispered con
ference on the part OF the BrownloW
men was held, when the answer
came, refusing to accept.
Finally, as last resort, the Evans
people asked that the Brownlow side
split the State ticket with them
! running Mccall, the Brownlov
guoernatorial candidate, and Upton
the Evans candidate for Railroad
Commissioner or, to support Poston
the Evans nominee for Governor
and Hornsby, the Brownlow nomine
for Railroad Commissioner. Thi
proposition was also promptly re
jected.
