In the Superior Court yes terday
afternoon the counsels for the plain
tiff finished their side of the case. Mr.
Whiteman opened for the defense and
called Albert McVey to the stand.
This morning McVey was put on
the stand and testified that he drew
the will and that when he went to
the sick room Of Mrs. Caroline G.
Pritchard on January 20, 1896, to
draw the will, he found her in full
possession of her mental faculties and
her strength. She asked me to 60
and get some one to witness the max
ing of the will and l got Smith Ii.
Rodgers and Samuel Stewart.
drew the will and then asked her
why she left John Pritchard any
money and she replied that she did
this to save any fuss. In response to
my question whether he was her son
she raised her right hrnd to heaven
and said: "As true as God Is in
heaven, John Pritchard IS not my
son.
"You never broke that will" asked
Mr.. Constable.
"No. But | think you are broken
about her insanity" replied McVey.
After court recessed Mr.. Whitcman
presented Il motion to increase the
amount of money to cover costs.

President Roosevelt may run against
asenatorial combination on the patron
age question as Garfield and Cleveland
did, the former with tragic results to
himself, and the latter overcoming 1t
after stiff fight. The Presidents pol
icy in making appointments on merit Is
alread beginning to produce signs of
bitterness in the Republican party. The
senators were so accustomed to dicta-
ting patronage under President Nc
Kinley that they had come to re gard it
as a personal right. The positive re-
fusal of President Roosevelt to con-
slider the recommendation of senators
and representatives in connection with
army appointments has caused gen.
eral growl among the old stagers, and
they are now reported to be muttering
over the necessity of calling halt -

Oklahoma Territory, which was or
ganized in 1890. now has a population
OF about 45O, 600. This is larger popu-
lasioa than that of Alaska and Arizona
combined; it Is larger than tina! of
Alaska and Hawaii combined; it is
more than twice as large as that of
New Mexico, which has been a Terri
tory for ffty years and which is now
olamoring for statehood. Oklahoma's
population is larger than that of Della

ago Oklahoma was a wilderness.

BE THANKFUL TODAY.

Today is Thanksgiving. A day set
apart by the ruler OF our nation in
which the people are admonished to
lay aside their business cares, stop
short as 1t were and reflect over the
years happenings, and be thankful for
the blessing which have been melted
out by Divine Grace.
The day had it's beginning in the
time of our Puritan forefathers, in the
gathering of the people for services of
prayer in the churches, and the no less
teryent energy expressed in the bring
ing together of the fruits of the fields
and forests for general feasting and
the division of good gifts by the more
richly endowed among those less for
tunate.
The poor we have always with US,
and indeed they seem to increase in
number from year to year, so we Lave
constantly increasing demands for
generosity on the part of those who
have much to make them thankful
This is getting to be such merce-
nary age, such struggle for existence
that the sentimental and aesthetic are
lost in the push of our great COM
mercial center, and the observance of
Thanksgiving is almost as dead IN many
places as is the good old fashioned joy
GUS observance of New Year day.
The Times Recorder hopes that all in
Americas will be permitted to avail
themselves of some enjoyment on this
glorious holiday And we should re-
member that true thankfulness is IN
deeds; not in words.

It is claimed that President Roose-
velt's message will show that he is in
favor of tariff reform, opposed to ship
subsidies, against the accumulation of a
surplus and in favor of the Chinese ex-
Clusion act. This statement is not au-
thoritatiysCbut if the message should
substantiate it the President will show
his disregard for party leaders and
will strengthen his popularity with the
people. 49,

DEMOCRATS IN HIGH PLACES

Mayor Lows first appointment as
Mayor will be that of George l.. Rives
to the position of Corporation Counsel,
This il the most important office within
the Msycz's gift. Mr. Rives is a Dem
Ocrat. He was Assistant Secretary of
StAte during Cleveland administration
from 1885 to 1887. He voted for Edward
M.shspard, the Tammany candidate for
Mayor. The Republicans are not pleas
ed over this first selection of Mayor
Low. Grout, the City Comptroller and
head of the financial department., is
Democrat; the President OF the Board
OF Aldermen aud acting Mayor in the
latter's absence, is Democrat; the
District Attorney is a Democrat; the
Sheriff, three judges and three Presi-
dents of boroughs are Democrats These
constitute two-thirds of the officers
elected on the fusion ticket. The Dem
ocrats have majority of the officers,
and now the Mayor announces his pur-
pose to appoint Democrat to the most
important Office within his gift. The
Republicans are showing disappoint-
ment and dissatisfaction. They insist
that in the circumstances the Mayor
should have selected Republican,. But
Low is one of those men who seldom
does what strictly party men want him
30 do. Low Is a Republican. but be
wears no handouts or ball and chain.

The chief issue between the Demo

latter mixtures have been described by
the medical officer of one of tle largest
cities in the kingdom as being innocent
of eggs" Glucose Is added to treacle to
make golden syrup" and salicylic acid
is added to cider and to many jams TO
preserve them.
As to the harmful effects of these va
rious additions TO food on the digestion,
It Is again a question of doctors differ ng.
Dozens of medical men have deprecated
the use of any preservatives whatever,
while others say that boracic acid and
borax have beneficial effects. One gentle
man told the c1mmittee that he practi-
cal'y lives on borax and another. who
took large doses by way of experiment,
said the only effect was to give him an
appetite. With respect to the effect Of
formalin, the use of which to preserve
milk is increasing, experts seem alto
gether in the dark. but there Is almost
a unanimous opir len that copper in any
quantity does harm.
The report of the committee cannot
much longer be delayed. and its recon-
mendations, If gwen effect to, may result
In sweeping changes being made IN the

No Bids for Their Lease Received,
for Very Good Reason.
Tallahassee, Fla, Feb. PA great deal
has been said recently in the press rela-
tive to the state convicts and the leas-
ing of them, and judging from the ridic-
ulous press dispatches sent out on the
subject, those persons farthest from the
seat of government, where all the infor-
nation relating to the convicts is really
known, essay to know more about the
matter than any one else, not excepting
even the state officials.
No convicts have been leased for the
simple reason that no bids have been in
vited for leasing them. and In view of
the fact that the last Legislature author
lied the appointment of a committee to
investigate the cow ct question, and re-
port to the next Legislature, the most hui
name, practical and profitable method for
working the state convicts, 1t Is not like
~ that any b DIS will be requested for
the hire of state convicts until said COM
mittee has made it's report to the Legis-
lature and that body has acted upon the
same.
Gov. Jennings has made the following
civil appointments:
Patrick Houstoun Of Tallahassee, to be
adjutant general for the state of Florida
for the term of four years from Feb. IS,

A Spirited Discussion by the Citizens
of the Question Involved.

OF the Question Involved.
Dublin, Ga, Feb. Blast night quite
number of citizens of Dublin met at
the Court House for the purpose of dis
cussing with the city authorities the bond
election for city Improvement and school
purposes ordered for March Il, and the
amount of money to be spent in the cree
ton of a new school building Quite a
spirited discussion developed during the
meeting and the legality of the bond cleo
ton was questioned 1t being charged that
the amount to be spent for the various
purposes was too vague and indefinite A
resolution was adopted at the meeting in
structing the city authorities TO expend
not less than $4,000 in erecting and equip
ping new school building in this city
The adoption OF this resolution will make
considerable difference In the character
of the building that will be erected IN
this city the resolution by Council Or
dering the election for bonds being that
not more than $4,000 be used for erecting
and equipping a new school building
1t is probable that the election ordered
for March IL. will be called Off. and q
new election ordered, TO meet
the objection of those who think the pres
ent cal illegel.

Definition of a. "GentIeman'' in Eng.
Iuud.
From The London Spectator.

From the London Spectator.
1t is no exaggeration to say that the
anomalous definition of a gentleman" Of
the Herald's College is not only contrary
to the facts of the nineteenth and TWEEN
tieth centuries. but Is the underlying
cause of many national vices. and of more
national misfortuues; and that its prompt
correction would do much TO remove the
difficulties which beset the future OF our
democratic empire. OF national vices, that
suppression of truth which is represent
ed by the word "snobbishness" is a di-
rect outcome of the false definition. be-
cause in the twentieth century almost all
rich people derive their income either
directly or indirectly from the results OF
trade; and of national misfortunes one of
the most dangerous is the prejudice that
impels young men, on leaving school
or college, to crowd into the al
ready overcrowded "genteel' professions.
The undoubted advantage of gentle
blood does but accentuate the untruth of
the present arbitrary distinction.
Any archeologst who has studied the
history of an English parish or county
knows that our system of primogeniture
has, from the time Of the Norman Con-
quest, constantly returned the majority
of the children of the aristocracy back to
the ranks of the middle and lower classes
The complaint that new men, and es-
pecialy London tradesmen, were ousting
the old Norman families was as common
in the days Of Edward ". Henry VIII
and Eliza beth as 1t is at the present mo-
ment. The suppression of the monas-
teries and the division of their enormous
estates among the local squirearchy pro-
duced the county family" system, from
which our modern axioms are derived
but this means of subsistence failed dur
ing the last century, and those axioms,
always fallacious, now no longer hold
good.
The land has again passed to new
men, and the sons of gentlemen have
returned once more to the people, and
1t is a common experience for a man to
give a butler half-a-crown to be allowed
to view the mansion erected by his an
cestors There is more gentle blood in
the English middle classes than there is
in the upper ten thousand and that
simple fact explains the special sympa-
thy that exists between those classes
and the crown.
