Gently received the following letter
from a young woman: Dear Mr..
Yerkes: I have seen by the papers
how rich you are, and also I have

you that my parents are poor and

am a member, and all the girls
wear silk skirts; and itgives me the

Yerkes received the unique epistle
from his secretary, and, to the lat

"Send her the money. It will give
more pleasure than If invested in
any other way" The money was
sent, and the acknowledgement was
as follows: "Dear Mr.. Yerkes:

JEFFERSON DAVIS IN HISTORY.
A Northern Judgment of the Great
 Leader of the Lost Cause.

New Orleans Times
 There is perhaps nothing so note" worthy. and to Americans of the South ern states there is nothing so gratify- ing, in the recent historical and semi historical criticism of leaders In the war between the States as IS the man. ner in which the life and character or Jefferson Davis yearly wins fairer and fuller recognition from writers at the North. That MT. Davis is at length receiving justice from persons who op- posed him in Congress and fought his government on the battlefield is Illus trated by an article printed in The Times-Democrat of last Sunday and written by Colonel Alexander s. Me- Clure, who was an intimate friend of President Lincoln's and for years the close personal and political adviser of leaders successful not only in Pennsyl- vania. but also In the nation. In criti~ cising Mir. Davis's character, manner and abilities Colonel Mcclure writes:
 MT. Davis was man of forceful in- tellect, a great student and one of the

RICHARDSON ON FREE PASS
 QUESTION.
Congressman from the Eighth Dis trict Has Decided Views on the
 Matter-Damage to the .. Corn Crop. "

Courtland, July 25.-(special. 1.-The matter of h. wing the Constitutional Convention, which is now in session, discontinue the promiscuous giving of railroad passes to State officials. is the all-important question here. A peti- tion, which, was composed of the sig natures of all tn. lesd ding business and professional men of the town, was sent to the Convention a day or two since. asking that State offic.als he prohibited from riding on free passes. Congress man William Richardson. in a conver- sation with your correspondent yester- day. said: That pass evil must be stopped. State officials must either be prohibited riding on passes. or If this Is not done, the Constitution should re- quire tho railroads to give to every State official pass. Then the people could know just how far the thing Is carried, and 1t being a law would place no one under obligation to the rail- roads. I believe 1t will be settled in this way"
 Since the recent rains the prospects for a good cotton crop in this section is much improved. The corn is very bad. and it is estimated that not even one half a crop will be made. Much of 1t is tasselling at two feet high, and is all whitening at once.

ablest debaters in the national councils. He had the courage of his conyfcttgns- and was scrupulously honest alike in public and private fife. He beiieveds in the right of secession and maintain- ed 1t on all suitable occasions. He always 'disavowed disunion until after the election of Lincoln, when he took position in the front rank of those who advocated the dismemberment of the Republic. He was respected by all his associates in public life because of the sincerity that guided him In his expressions and actions. He was grave and digniefid to a degree approaching austerity. but was always one of the most courteous of gentlemen."
 It Is almost impossible for anyone who has ever lived at the North to read these words of Colonel McClure's and not understand what a tremendous revolution in public sentiment has swept over the Northern States in the last score of,.years regarding the place which Southern leaders, and especially Jefferson Davis, should be given in his- tory. Time, the wisest of all histori- ans, is at length drawing the picture of our civil war in clear anI perfect perspective, and in the grooping of the great men who played parts in the awful tragedy the figure of-Jefferson Davis Is showing in the foreground with distinct and commanding dignity.

 dreds of deaths and thousands of pros- trations has been more disastrous in its effects than any epidemic that has visited the country. Cholera, yellow fever. smallpox, eacR have also claimed hundreds of victims. but not within the space of so few days. The direct fatalities have been enormous. but the scourge cannot be judged by these alone; the increase in the number of deaths from other causes must also be attributed to the excessive heat. fatal in it's results oh a system enfeebled by disease. In the future hundreds of those prostrated who escaped imma- diate death will succumb to compara- lively mild attacks oe disease and thus the mortality will go on for months. In the large cities ambulances and patrol wagons were insufficient to con- vey the stricken to the hospitals and these were unable to respond to all the demands made upon them with every bed occupied and extra cots in the cor riders, and physicians and nurses over taxed, sometimes failing beneath the strain.
 The strenuous life is inevitably con- quered by the strenuous thermometer. Tn such crises nothing can be done save to treat each case individually and instruct the populace how best to Accommodate themselves to condition. In cities the permitted free use of water to cool burning pavements. the occupancy of the parks during the night by those whose sleeping places were akin to ovens. the free distribu- ton of ice, all had effect in keeping the death rate from soaring still

WOMAN USED KNIFE.
Miss Willie Sapp Carves Tom Resson
 At Gadsden.

Gadsden, July 25.-tSpecial. D-There was serious cutting affray in the weaving room of the Dwight Manufac- turing Company this afternoon. in which young woman carved up a young man. A young woman, Miss Willie Sapp. went to the loom where Mrs. Resson was working and up- braided her for something she had said about her (Miss sapp). A row ensued and Miss Sapp pulled Mrs. Resson's hair and slapped her face. whereupon Tom Resson came to his mothers aid and struck Miss Sapp on the head with a spindle, making a bad wound.
 Miss sapp then drew her knife and slashed Tom on the left arm and shoul- der. Resson struck her again and ran. but fell down. Miss Sapp jumped on him. caught up his foot. and cut him from the knee down, laying the diesh open to the bone and severing large artery, from which wound Resson came near bleeding to death. Miss Sapp Is usually of a quiet disposition. but a very demon when aroused. She was arrested, as were the man and his mother.

ONE WOMAN IS KILLED
FREIGHT TRAIN AND TROLLEY
 CAR COLLIDE.
Several Other Passengers on the Car Were Injured-Wealthy Mans Body Found-Foul Play
 Suspected.

Birmingham, July 25.-.SpeciaD- As a result of a collision between d and a trolley car on the Gate City line of the Birmingham Railway, Light ana Power Company on the cfossihS oA those two roads at East BlrmlnShani at an early hour this morning. Matlie Orsby of Gate City is dead. and the toi- lowing are injured: Mrs. LA c. Monett of Woodlawn, w. A. Sawyer Of Wooo- lawn and B. B. Baysmore. None or the injured will die Mrs. Moffett IS the worst hurt. She was taken to St. Vim cents Hospital suffering from severe bruises and a violent nervous shock.
 The scene of the accident is at point where the buildings of several large industries obstruct the view or those in charge of the street cars. The situation is such that 1t Is impossible for a motorman to see whether tram is approaching on the Louisville and Nashville track until his car is almost upon the track. This morning when the Gate City car reached the crossing freight train was passing and the car was stopped until the crossing had been cleared. Not noticing another freight train directly behind the nrst one. the motorman started ms car again and before he could bring It to a ston the car and engine were in col lision. The car was caught by the pllot of the engine and turned around. IL toppled over on its side.
 The negro woman, Matte Orsby. was caught beneath the car as 1t turned and her head mashed into a pulp. The car carried trailer and had an un- usual heavy load of passengers. AS soon as the passengers realized what had happened a wild panic followed. men and women jumping in every direction The dead woman was bringing two large baskets of blackberries to town and with the overturning car these berries were heaped upon the ground mingling with the blood of the unfor- tunate woman. w. A: Sawyer. one Of the injured passengers, was only slight ly hurt, his injuries not being seri- ous enough to warrant taking him to inc hospital. B. B. Baysmore was bruised about the body. Mrs. Moffett is not believed to be dangerously injured, but there is a possibility of spinal trou- ble developing It Is regarded as mar yelous that the loss of life was not greater.
 Justice of the Peace H. B. Aber- n2 thy, Acting Coronor, has commenced an investigation. The men in charge of the street car claim that the freight train which struck the car did not stop for the crossing nor blow the signal as Is required. The officials of tht Louisville and Nashville Railroad deny this, claiming that the usual stop was made and the signal given.
