Mrs. Archibald Little. an English

Mrs. Archibald Little, an English
woman who lived in western China for
ii ycars, saws there is a growing senti-
ment against the practice of crippling
the native woInen's feet. While she
was there they held drawing-room
meetings to discuss the subject and
about 200 of the best families in Chung
king and 1,500 families in the ad djoin
ing district agreed to discourage the
custom. Men are responsible for the
practice, for the first question they ask
in regard to possible fiancee is about
the size of her foot. The engaged young
Chinaman, when he is dining with his
friends, often proudly produces from
the recesses of his capacious sleeves a
shoe TO prove the smallness of his flu
ture wife's foot. Women with these
crippled feet can walk and run, but, ac-
cording to Mrs. Little, it is almost i'm
possible for them to stand still. When
they try it, they hold on to whatever
happens to be nearest to them and
sway backward and forward with a
rocking motion.-San Francisco News
Letter.

An OfE-Hand Sermon.

The Rt. Rev Thomas Frank
Gailor, ID D., of the Episcopal
Church, recently made Bishop of
Tennessee, is a man whose reputa-
ton as an eloquent preacher is rap
idly making him known as a second
Philip Brooks. lie is a man of
much vigor of mind, and is con
sidered too broad by people of
High Church tendencies. In the
south the clergymen Of the Episcopal
Church, who are-invariably men of
education, hold themselves a little
aloof from ministers of other de,
nominations, rarely joining in union
meetings and never exchanging
pulpits. Bishop Gailor, however,
recently told with keen relish how
he broke through this custom and
the compliment he earned by it.
Some time ago the ministers of the
various evangelical churches in
Memphis, where Bishop Gailor
resides, united in holding open all
revival meetings at Jefferson Park.
The Episcopal rectors took no part
in these meetings, but such crowds
The Bolivar bulletin. (Bolivar, Tenn.) 1888-1946, 1900-03-23

gathered that Bishop Gailor was
attracted to the work and offered
the committee in charge of these
meetings to preach for them on the
next Sunday. The committee
warned him that they could not
provide altar cloths or boy choir,
but the Bishop said the green grass
was cloth enough and the birds
would do for the choir;so he preach
ed. Casting aside all ritual save
his robes, he extemporized his
prayers and preached an eloquent,
popular sermon without notes. Men
of all sorts, rough and refined,
crowded about the platform on
which he preached, and almost at
his feet the Bishop noticed two
brawny raftsmen, evidently fresh
from the up country of Arkansas.
When the sermon had come to a
fiery close, the Bishop heard ore of
the raftsmen say to the other with
honest emphasis:
"Great snakes, pardner, that is
the tust timeI ever seed one of them
petticoat persons shoot without a
rest, but he shore winged me-

TWO BROTHERS AT LAW.
The Younger Seeking a Share OF His
Late Fathers Millions.

FALLS CITY, Neb., Jan. 1.-THE contest
between Joseph and Samuel Miles over the
three million-dollar estate left by their
father, the late Colonel Stephen d. Miles,
is progressing slowly in the District Court
here. The contest revolves around the sup
position that the will which Stephen B.
Miles made in 1888, leaving the bulk of his
fortune to his elder son, Joseph, was re-
voked by later will, executed in 1897, max
ing an equal division of the property be-
tween the two brothers. Samuel the
younger brother, declares that this last will
has been lost, stolen or destroyed by his
brother or his hirelings, in order to cheat
him out of his rights. Samuel Miles began
his case by offering the dispositions Of the
Hotel. in st. Louis. who say they witnessed
Stephen Miless signature to some paper
which they now believe was his will. Then
Samuel testified as to the relations between
his father and himself. He admitted they
were rather strained, but he insisted that
his father had told him he had made
new will in 1897. leaving him the larger
share of his estate. The lawyers tangled
Samuel somewhat in crosS-examination,
and he acknowledged he had drunk and
gambled his money away so fast that his
father much grieved and sent him
away to a farm in Kansas. He was also
reminded and did not deny that he was
drunk at the time he was in st. Louis and
discovered, he said, that the hotel men
had witnessed the will which is now lost.

MUST PAY INHERITANCE TAX,
That Portion of the Estate of the Late
G.. M. Pullman in New York State.

NEW YORK, Jan. 1.-THE appellate
division of the Supreme Court to-day
handed down a decision written by Justice
Patterson regarding the inheritance tax to
be paid on that portion of the estate of
the late George NJ. Pullman, of Illinois,
actually within the State of New York In
bonds, stocks and on deposits in a trust
company this property amounted to s74i,191,
and the surrogate held that the whole of
it was subject to the transfer tax. Some
of the heirs appealed, claiming that as Mr.
Pullman owed more than 10000 to per-
sons and corporations i'm New York none
of the property found here should be as
sessed The appellate division holds how
ever. that an indebtedness was general
against the whole of the estate the as
sets of which We're three times the la
bilities. OF the amount owed here only $751;
i30 was secured by stocks and bonds ac-
tually in this State. These particular
stocks and bonds are specifically pledged
and the pledged are liable to resort to
them. The court modities the order by
deducting the sum of SIS 430 from the
amount TO be taxed. and. as so modified
affirms the order, without costs TO either
party.
