BY SUMMER WATERS.

Loafing by the summer waters at the closing of
the day
Scents and colors that are pleasing-over all the
twilight gray.
Withered shells of last years walnuts that
about me scattered lie,
Seem the skulls of fairy warriors slain in bat
ties long gone by.
The green heron, like corsair, hovers where
the ripples flow:
Still belated bees are humming where the elder
blossoms glow;
But all tumult wakes fainter-borne to regions
far away
AS loaf by summer waters at the closing of
the day.
Elms and beeches wave above me, yet before
my drowsy view
ClOud-cathedrals shine out whitley through the
gateways of the blue
In the peace that wraps all nature as her foliage
OF green,
Doubt is listless, and ambition is worry that
has heen.
The forgotten are remembered, as the hour
seems nearing fast
When lifes final curfew rings me to put out the
lights at last
And feel so near to heaven l can hear the
harpers play
AS loaf by summer waters at the closing of
the day

JOHN ALIENS HOG
AND HOMINY DINNERS

Washington. eff John Allen
wants to endear himself forever
more in the hearts of his fellow
Worlds Fair Commissioners and
choice St. Louis friends" remark
ed a well known Southern Con-
gressman the other day, che will
give them one of his old time hog
and hominy dinners; the kind he
gives occasionally to his friends
here.
Though there are dinners and
dinners in Washington; state din
ners and Cabinet dinners, senato-
rial dinners and otherwise, none of
them can compare with this partic
ular kind of dinner for downright
good eating"
The gentleman, connoisseur of
things good to eat and former
guest at one of the famous meals,
knows whereof he speaks. He
likewise speaks truthfully, for,
after all, there IS no such dinner
anywhere as the ''hog and hominy''
feasts of the justly famed Private
John of Tupelo.
Whenever Allen, during the six
teen years he was in Washington
as Representative from the First
Mississippi District, got big box
of good things from his home he
Immediately arranged for one OF
the old dinners. If you are ever
invited to such a feast don't fail to
accept. 'Tis recorded that only
one man ever declined an invitation,
and he, when he learned of the
goodness of the dinner, ever after
was careful to hurl anathemas ii
his own luckless self.
Nowhere else can you get such
sweet and tender ham, nor such
delicious, real, homemade sau.
sages, or such light and appetizing
cornbread.
The hominy, which, like the
cornbread and meat, is shipped tc
Washington from Tupelo, is as

large as the kernels of hazelnuts
and is cooked to perfection.
In addition to all this, Allen
knows how to cook quail in chat
ing dish, He prepares a sort of
stew and sauce that makes an
epicure thank God that he is alive.
II is, altogether, a dinner so out
of the ordinary that it is remem-
bered for lifetime.
And then Allen is such a wonder
ful storyteller that the pleasure of
eating is enhanced by the genius
of the host. With the exit of the
veteran Mississippian into the
ranks of ex-Congressmen the
House cloakroom lost its best en-
tertainer. From the time that the
oysters are served until the coffee
is reached, there is one succession
of stories, told in Aliens mimi
table way. When he gathers
around him other good storytellers
the hours pass on the wings of the
wind.
Shortly before leaving the Cap
ital City Allen gave his farewell
dinner. If possible it surpassed
all of its predecessors in the ex-
cellence of the stories told and
courses served. The variety of
both was infinite and all-pleasing.
The host himself was in a partic-
ularly happy vein and related a
couple of anecdotes that will bear
repeating.
That best received was of the
little boy of a nieghbor of his.
The youngster was considerably
puzzled by the theory of evolution.
One day he said to his mother:
Mamma, am descended from
a monkeys"

The other had to do with an old
Yankee farmer, who had moved
down into Aliens district after
the war.
He had been married four times,
and shortly after the death of his
fourth wife q neighbor stopped
him and said:

A sad accident occurred at Jones
Mill, in the northwest part of Henry
County, in which Will Lampkins,
the 10-year-old son of the miller,
met a fearful death. The boy had
brought dinner to his father and
stepped on loose plank, which
caused him to fall into the water
below, just in front of the turbine
wheel. He was drawn in and
crushed to death. The father
noted the obstruction to the ma
chinery and turned on more wa

covered that it was the body Of his
son. 1t required more than an
hour to release the body.

WASHINGTON LETTER.

Teddy Roosevelt's Presidential
boom arrived IN Washington this
week. 1t was brought by Repub-
lican members of the Kansas Con-
gressional delegation, who declared
that the Kansas Republicans were
for him and intended to do every
thing they could to get him NOM
mated. When it is considered
that the Administration is dead op-
posed to Roosevelt and that those
Congressman were in Washington
asking Administration favors, it
will be seen that they had their
nerve along with them. 1t is true
that none of the big guns of the
Administration were in town, and
that the small fry, such as assist
ant secretaries, were afraid to tell
those Congressman that they were
treading on forbidden ground, but
the telegraph lines were in good
working order and some of them
found it out before they left, and
they will probably hear more
about it before their applications
for Administration fayors are acted
upon. Long before 1904, it will
be a sure way for a Republican to
get on the administration blacklist
to declare himself In favor of
Roosevelt's nomination. There is
no longer any doubt that there is
q Roosevelt machine and that it is
working for strength in the West
and South, ignoring New York,
where the Platt machine makes it
impossible for Roosevelt to hope
to control the delegation, Roose-
Velt's friends are pointing out
that Cleveland was nominated in
1909, although the New York dele
CATION was pledged to Hill.

IN THE TOLLS AGAIN.
h. ]. Dillon Brought Back to Ten
nessee by Warden.

/ hNooCG w w 0A0Ohs
Capt. w. H. Hartford, warden
of the penitentiary, returned yes
terday morning from Minneapolis,
Mimi, having in his custody II.
j. Dillon, who now occupies cell
in the State prison. Dillon was
sent up from Obion County for a
term of fifteen years for abduction.
The case against Dillon was a clear
one, and the crime was most re-
pugnant. The trial attracted
much interest.
Dillon was being brought from
jackson to Nashville to serve his
term, the sentence having been af
firmed by the Supreme Court. He
eluded the attention of the guard
and slipped the handcuff from his
wrist and jumped from the train
near Dickson. He has been at
large for about six weeks.
Dillon was arrested at Minneap-
oils over Il week ago, his arrest
being accomplished by the police
department of that city. Capt.
Hartfort was notified of the arrest
and securing requisition papers
from Gov. McMillin left at once
for Minneapolis. Several tele-
grams were received in this city
after Capt. Hartford left, stating
that Dillon was making a hard
fight to regain his liberty through
habeas corpus proceedings.
DILLoN's SHREwD WORK.
Dillon is about 33 years old, and
is said to be good-looking and of
pleasing address. He is also known
as q very shrewd man. When
Capt. Hartford arrived at Mime
apolis he found that Dillon was
fighting in earnest to secure his re-
lease from the tolls of the law.
The prisoner had made statements
that aroused the sympathy of a
number of people and led them
to believe that he was the object
of persecution.
Dillon had some money and EN-
ployed d lawyer, who fought the
authorities to the last resisting his
return to Tennessee. Through
the legal proceedings Dillon once
obtained his release, but the police
department at Minneapolis was de-
termined in its efforts to hold him
until he could be delivered to
Capt. Hartford, and rearrested and
locked HIM up again.
When Capt. Hartford arrived at
Minneapolis Dillon's attorney
claimed that there was defect in
the requisition papers, and this
necessitated some changes. Capt.
Hartford wired Gov. Van SAINT, of
Minnesota, that he would want to
make amendments in the papers,
and the Governor waited in his of
flee until II o'clock at night for
the arrival of Capt. Hartford. The
necessary changes were made in
the papers, after which the War
den returned to Minneapolis and
got his man.
Capt. Hartford permitted Dillon
to 90 to see his wife and three
children in Chicago while making
the return trip to Nashville.
Capt. Hartford was very COM
plimentary in speaking of the
manner in which he was treated by
the Minnesota officials. Chief of
Detectives King and Chief of Po-
lice Ames were very courteous to
the Tennessee officer, and had it
not been for their work Dillan
would probably have escaped from
the clutches of the law again.
There were rewards offered for
the rearrest of Dillon, which were
said to aggregate $500,

conduct unbecoming an officer and
a gentleman, we'll )" As
Admiral Evans abruptly ended and
turned on his heel there was an
expression on his face that was
anything but loving. Admiral
Evans but touched upon the dirty
politics of Chandler's rule over the
Navy Department, only referring
to his personal experience, in his
book, when there is material
enough of the same sort, and
worse, easily accessible, to fill
several books. Chandler's whole
political life has been that of an
unscrupulous partisan who never
forgot his own interests. Conse-
quently he is rich man, but he is
likely also to be a sorry man be-
fore "Bob" Evans and his friends
get through with him.
Comment is being made on the
marked discrepancy between the
number of Filipinos who have
been captured or have surrendered
and the number of rifles. In an
official document issued by the
War Department this week the
total number of Filipinos captured
and surrendered is given as Al, ,029,
while the total number of rifles
surrendered and captured is only
1912. 1t cannot be that 41,029
Filipinos were fighting with only
1912 rifles. And if the surren-
dered Filipinos have secreted their
rifles it indicates that they expect
to have use for them again.
1t is now said in Washington
that Senator McLaurin's reward
for trying too organize white
mans Republican party in South
Carolina, in addition to the control
of the Federal patronage of the
State, is to be seat on the Federal
bench for himself, after his term
in the Senate ends.
If the stories alleging that Mr..
Mckinley has been convinced by
the popularity of Admiral Schley
that he has been greatly maligned
by the Sampson clique in the
Navy Department, and that it was
by his express orders that officers
who could be depended upon to
give Admiral Schley fair play
were selected for members of the
Court of Inquiry, be true, there is
one thing more that he should do
in the interest of fair play, and
that is to get u new Secretary of
the Navy. Secretary Long has
been notoriously ante Schley from
the beginning of the trouble, and
it is an open secret that he will
leave no official stone unturned to
convict Schley of having disobeyed
orders, as a failure to secure such
conviction will be practically a
verdict of marked unfairness
against himself. Howison, the
new member of the court, has been
a Sampson partisan, if he is not
now.
Senator Stewart, who has been
on all sides of every question and
who Just now calls himself Re
publican, was in Washington this
week, whooping things up for
Senator Hanna, whom he declared
to be the logical Republican candi-
date In 1904. If he and the other
Hanna shouters can only swell
Hanna's head sufficiently to make
him grab the nomination for him
self, instead of putting up a figure
head who will be under his control,
they will do the Democrats q great
favor. With Hanna for the he
publican candidate the Democrats
could elect anybody on any plat
form, or on no platform, except
opposition to Hannaism and all it
stands for.
