THE FLORENCE TRIBUNE

PUBLISHED EVERY SATURDAY.
Waterbury Democrat., 1901-09-18

The doctors who attended the late President Mckinley have found it necessary to issue statement denying certain stories attributed to them. The statements that the doctors deny were published in papers that would not think of considering themselves in the yellow class. Among other things the doctors say: !" We say again that there was never serious disagreement among the professional attendants as to any of the symptoms or as to the treatment of the case or as to the bull Ietins which were issued. A very un- usual harmony of opinion and action prevailed all through the case. The unfortunate result could not have been foreseen before the unfavorable symp- toms declared themselves late on the sixth day and could not have been pre- vented by any human agency"
Waterbury Democrat., 1901-09-18

A person who has travelled much and who has lately made q tour of the Chinese empire, says: From what I saw and heard of the empress dowager I fancy that all the tales about her great cleverness and ability are very much exaggerated, and that she proba- bly would be at a loss to name inc European capitals or to say what diff ference of creed there exists between a Catholic and a Protestant. She seems to have. caught from her old friend Li Hung Chang that sense for a certain kind of grim ,humor, which revealed itself during the siege of the Pekin legations, when she enjoyed the atricals in that very hall where we had sat with her, at the very moment when the ladies of the legations, her sisters were being fired upon by her order. She certainly possesses a re- markable instinct for taking care of herself, and is also in this like the eat, that always falls on its feet. Her greatness consists in coming personal ly unscathed out of events which have destroyed thousands of innocent lives. Even now she has given fair exam pie of this capacity"

THE DAFFY DIALOGUES.

George, dear, the paper says that King Edward is having his crown made as light as possible. What IS ne doing that for?"
 "Eh? Can't you guess, my love? He thinks it's too heavy"
 "But doesn't he have to take oil loI of diamonds and rubies and things and lot of real gold, too-to make IL lighter?'
 .I suppose so, my love"
 ''Well, it seems to me, George, that if I had a crown like that-the paper says it's worth more than half a mil lion, I'd endure little discomfort, even if it did press down pretty nara.
 My dear girl, if you were an elderly fat man with bald head and some what irritable temper, you would do just as Edward is doing. He doesn want to sit around for hours with thlr- ty or forty pounds of stones and metal on his tender pate. It would be worse than being clamped up in one of those old-fashioned photographers head racks"
 '.Yes, but George he'd be braced up all the time by the thought of inc mightiness of the symbol he was bear ing. He'd feel himself every inch king"
 He'd feel his inches grow shorter every additional moment that he kept the thing on, my dear. A pound Of rubies isn't a bit lighter than a pound of nails. And it wouldn't be at all pleasant when they lifted the thing off his head to find his royal neck driven down a couple of inches into his royal chest, and his royal backbone perma- nently curved"
 .'Oh, George how silly you are. And what do you suppose he'll do with the pieces they take off?"
 'I hadn't thought anything about it, my dear. Perhaps he'll sew ,em on his pajamas, or on the royal night cap. Still. that wouldn't be very comforta- ble, either And Ed is just the man to go in for comfort. He's seen every thing. and tasted all the delights that wealth and station can bring, and now I'll bet he'd just like to get his stock inged feet upon the fender and let the royal fripperies slide"
 "He couldn't do that, George. Think of his wife"
 "Why should think of his wife?"
 "Why, as queen she couldn't settle down that way. She's got clothes to wear and jewels to display, and she'd never consent to be just comfortable and nothing else. Say, George, don't you believe that the king gives her all the jewels that are removed from tie crown? She could have them made into a tiara, or a necklace, or some thing. Wouldn't that be sweet Of him?''
 "It certainly would, my love. I do not suppose Queen Alexandria has more than peck or so of jewels at present. and it would be awfully love " to get q pint or two more"
 f'Yes. Promise me, George, that you will always be sure to remember me the same way"
 'I'H promise you, my love, that if I ever knock any diamonds or pearls, or rubies off any crown of mine I'll lay aside every blessed one of 'em for you.'
 ''Thank you, dear."- Cleveland Plain Dealer.

DOMESTIC ACCOUNTANCY.


 She decided that the only way to run a house economically was to keep set of books, so she made all neces- sary purchases, including bottle of red ink, and started in.
 It was a month later when her hus- band asked her how she was getting along
 'splendidly," she replied. ''Why, I'm $66 ahead already"
 "Sixty-six dollarsn' he exclaimed Heavens! You'll be rich before long What have you done with the money? ''Oh, I haven't got the moGey. you know. That's only what the books show. But just think of being $6e aheadp'
 'Um, yes. But I don't exactly see' And all in one month, tool'

IF WE DIDN'T HAVE TO EAT.

Life would be an easy matter If we didn't have to eat
 If we never had to utter,
 Wont you pass the bread and
 butter, Likewise push along that platter Full of meat" Yes, if food were obsolete, Life would be a jolly treat, If we didn't-shine or shower, Old or young, bout every hour Have to eat, eat, eat, eat 'Twould be jolly if we didn't have to eat. We could save lot of money If we didn't have to eat
 Could we cease our busy buying, Baking, boiling, brewing, frying, Life would then be, oh so sunny And complete.
 And we shouldn't care to greet Every grocer in the street, If we didn't-man and woman, Every helpless, hungry human Have to eat, eat, eat, eat, eat We'd save money if we didn't have to eat. All our worry would be over If we didn't have to eat.
 Would the butcher, baker, grocer, Get our hard earned dollars? No,
 sir! We would then be right in clover Cool and sweet. Want and hunger we would cheat, And we'd get there with both feet, If we didn't-poor or wealthy, Halt or nimble, sick or healthy Have to eat, eat, eat, eat, eat We could get there if we didn't have to eat.

AN INSOMNIA CURE

The new minister of small town in Inverness-shire, Scotland, was walking home from morning service recently, when he chanced to overtake one Of his parishioners, an old shoemaker
 Good morning, MT Bain," said the minister. How is it your good wife is not out to-day?'
 ''She's no but poorly" was the re ply. ''It's nae wink of sleep she's mad for the last three nichts.''
 The minister was sorry to hear such poor account of Mrs Bain's health.
 I'm thinking if she could get a guid sleep" said the shoemaker, "she'd soon be on the mend Maybe if you're passing the house tomorrow yell na object to ca in an give her frae last ly' to the end of your discourse this morning. I'm na sayin' it wadna be very helpful"

JEFFERSON DAvIss HABITS.

During the four years that the Hon Jefferson Davis was a resident of this city, and president of the Confederate state of America, he subjected himself to danger every day. He walked the streets of Richmond just as any plain, everyday citizen did, and i'll the after moons, winter and summer, he usually took horseback exercise. Often he rode alone; at other times, he had compan- ion-some aide, or courier, or perhaps some officer fresh from the army with whom he wished to chat. His most frequent route into the country was up Clay street, which he left at it's west ern end to enter either the Hermitage road or the Broad-street road. But he rode every day, and at one time or an other on every road.
 Only once, so far as known, was life in peril. One day while he was | cantering through one of the eastern suburbs of the city a rifle bullet whistled close to him, but left him untouched. He was of the opinion that an attempt had been made to take his life, and circumstances indicated that the shot had been fired from the upper part of building near by. What efforts were made to investigate this affair we do not know. But bare men tion ever was made of it in print.
 A guard was kept at the president s mansion here, but on one occasion the Confederate secret-service men were set to work to ferret out the authors of what was supposed to be an attempt to set the presidents house on fire A quantity of paper and other trash, which had been paced in an area near window. or had been blown there by the wind, was fired.
 We recollect Captain Sam Maccub- bin, the chief of the Confederate de- tectiyes, speaking of the investigation in this case. He was by no means convinced that arson, or any other crime, had been attempted; but rather attributed the fire, or, what seemed preparations to kindle fire, to acci- dent
 As we have said. there was a mili- tary guard on duty at the president s mansion here. The organization which performed this service for most of the time was company of boys, called the Presidents guard, in which Lucieu l.. Bass entered as a lieutenant and of which he later on became captain But if any body of organized assassins had been resolved to take the life of the president they could have done so without breaking through his guard, for, as we have said, MT Davis ex- posed himself to whatever danger there was here every day.
 President Lincoln visited Richmond a few days after it fell into the hands of his army. He drove and walked through our streets freely and without mourning injury. He was followed by great crowds of negroes and was watched by thousands of whites, who stopped on the streets, or looked out of the doors or windows to see him pass.
 Mir Lincoln had not been long in Washington upon his return from this city when he made his un1ilcky visit to Ford's theater and met his death at the hands of that poor, unbalanced wretch, John Wilkes Booth This Booth acted upon his own mad impulse that the death of Mir Lincoln was neither planned nor desired by us in the south, is nowadays conceded with out discussion. Not so in 1865. Rich mond Dispatch.

HEARD IN PASSING

It is said that no less than twelve attempts were made to assassinate Queen Victoria in the sixty years that she remained on the throne, and she carried to her grave the scars on the forehead inflicted by the bludgeon of one of her ssailants.-Hartford Times.
 The sympathy of the people goes out to Mrs Mckinley in her great bereaye- ment and prayers are being offered ev- anywhere for her. It is greatly to be feared, however, that she will not be able to withstand the effect of she blow and that, ere long, another victim of the assassin will be laid at rest at Canton.-Hartford Post
 There is one Bridgeport paper which undertakes to defend yellow journal ism. at the same time excusing it's words. Nice attitude for a paper to taken when yellow Journalism has maligned Bridgeport so many times. But the people will in their good time take up the cudgels against this dis graceful journalism and the better class of papers will lend support promptly and sitatingiy.-Bridge- port Telegram-Union.
 The Buffalo bar did very sensible IHlHS WHen It suggested 10 the court the assignment of two of New York s honored eX-justices to the irksome duty of defending the presidents mur- derer. The court did the right and wise thing in acting upon that sug- gestion. 1t is to be hoped that any natural reluctance of the ex-justices, or either of them, may be overruled by considerations of professional and pub lie duty. Under the law the yilest criminal is entitled to the services of counsel. On the other hand, the pub lie will be very impatient of any resort to wire-spun techicalities, and still more impatient of any unwholesome sensationalizing. Another Guiteau trial is not wanted in this country.-Hart- ford Courant.

You don't mean to say you are going to do some work?7 .sYes," said one Of the Boers quietly, ''were going to fill lip some of the holes we led the English generals into.'' And when the laugh had subsided a little, q German was heard to remark ssMein Got! vat q big contract dey must have on" The story is sent from 7s~etoria by cor respondent of the Lonu~ StAr

The discussion over the postpone ment of the yacht races will cease now that a new date has been set. It was hardly to be expected that Sir Thomas Lipton could wait longer than the date now agreed upon. The expense is something to be considered, even in this time of mourning, and all must ad- init that the man from across the water has not been, sparing of his money.

IN A WESTERN COURT.

In western town. one day, the most popular citizen soundly whipped a rough character, and to vindicate the majesty of the law the offender was brought up for trial. The jury was out about two minutes.
 We'll said the judge, what have the jury to say?'
 'May it please the court, responded the foreman, i've, the jury, find the prisoner is not guilty of hittin' with in- tent to kill, but simply to paralyze; and he done it.''
 The verdict was received with ap- plause and the prisoner received an ovation.
