Change the Time.

AS result of agitation respecting
the changing of the time for the in
auguration of the president of the
United States, the opinion of many
men prominent in public life has been
obtained, and there is quite general
expression favorable to a date later
in the spring. The greatest number
of those who have expressed an Opin-
ion on the subject favor April Both as
the proper date for Inauguration,
chiefly because that is the anniver-
sary of the date when the first presi-
dent was inaugurated for the reason
that the weather conditions are al
ways more propitious at Washington
during the latter part of April than
early in March, and lastly because the
short session OF congress at Which
business is always crowded would have
nearly two months more of time.
This last consideration would seem to
be an important one. Whether a
constitutional amendment would be
required to perfect such change is
an open question, but the probabili-
ties are that such an amendment
would be necessary. Baptist

1t is little amusing to note the
unanimity of the democratic press in
condemnation of the claims of repub-
licans that the victory over Tammany
in New York was a party victory.
while at the same time they declare
that the result of the election in Phil
adelphia was strictly party success,
and due to republicans. The condi-
lions i'm tile two cities were the same
except this-In New York all decent
people united against Tammany: in
in Philadelphia the democracy refused
to JOIN with the decent republicans in
an effort to defeat the boss rule. If
therefore the republicans have no
credit for the defeat of Tammany the
democrats of Philadelphia should have
all the credit for defeating the effort
to repudiate that rule in Philadelphia,
for the movement of reform came out
of the republican party. As matter
of fact in neither city was it partisan
contest, and to the shame.of the Phil
adelphians the reputable people who
believe in fair municipal administration
lacked the cohesiveneSS which was nec-
eSsary to overthrow the rule of the
bosses. Elkhart Review.

lionaire has been fulfilled already.
Senator Clark of Montana is the man.
His Arizona mine, the United Verde,
is probably the richest the world has
ever seen. He has just refused $500
00O,00 for it. Experts estimate that
the ore in sight is $4,000, 900 tons,
worth 81, 500, 900, 600. and that if
properly worked the mine>will yield
annually $3.50, 900, 900.

A STRANGE STORY.
CoIored Man from the South Forced to
Constitute Circus and Menageria.

BERLIN, Nov. 9-After seven
months of captivity as a wild
man from Borneo, during which
time he was hauled all over
Europe in an iron cage with a
ring in his nose, VIM. Lacey, a
Virginia negro, 80 years of age.
visited the American consulate
in Berlin yesterday and told his
remarkable tale of alleged brut-
atty and suffering. Lacey says
that he came to Germany on a
tramp steamer last March and
became stranded in Hamburg.
There a bogus circus manager
offered him 40 marks a month to
impersonate wild man with a
travelling show. He took the
Job and discovered a few days
afterward that he consti,
tuted the entire circus and
menagerie. He was compelled
to live in a cage, bedded in
straw, and take his food through
the iron bars. During exhibition
hours attendants prodded him
with pitchforks to make him exc
cute weird dances to the accom-
panient of ghoulish yells.
He was kept in ignorance OF
the shows itinerary. the cage
being always moved at night.
He says he is certain that they
covered most of Russia, Germany,
Italy, Austria and a part OF
Turkey.
A fortnight ago the proprietor
of the show died and the negro
awoke one morning to find him
self deserted and the cage door
unlocked. The consulate pro-
vided Lacey with transportation
to Hamburg, whence, he declar-
ed, he would sail at once for
Dixie.

The old frame building in the rear
of the Blain block, formerly used as a
harness and sale shop by Jerry Blain,
caught fire about 10 O'Clock Friday
evening and was soon in blaze. The
prompt action of t e fire department
subdued the flames and prevented the
fire from communicating with adjoin-
ings. The loss is virtually nothing as
the building was worthless; but if the
fire had occurred late at night the
Blain and Speishoffer building would
probably have been destroyed.
