AFTER all the late lowering, murky,
rainy, gloomy weather, the bright sun
shine and the crisp, bracing temperature
of this morning, and the blue waters Of
the Potomac rlppled by the spring
breezes, were godsends and, after a cup
of hot and strong good coffee, and o
nicely broiled freshly smoked herring,
the average Alexandrian saw life in an
other color, and didn't care a rap
whether the Arlington Bridge be built
or not, or whether Mr.. Mckinley be
President or Emperor.

Ex-PREsIDENT CLEVELAND has writ
ten another letter 10 favor of the re-
organization OF the democratic party
10 it he says "there was time when
democratic principles we're advocated
in democratic fashion," Yes, and al
that time the cardinal democratic prin-
cple was that the majority should rule,
aud that principle was advocated by
Mr.. Cleveland when he was csndl-
date, when he advised all demo-
Gratis to abide by the decision of the
national convention of their party.
But since then Mr.. Cleveland has re-
pudiated the principle referred to, and
his own advice In respect OF 1t. He
now, however, looks at things through
other glasses than he did then. He
still has few personal fatterers, and
al they have profited by his favors,
they should advise him to stop writing
about the necessity OF the reorgoniza
ton of the democratic party.

A KANSAS jury has bsen unable to
decide whether Mrs. Nation destroyed
any property In her raids in the saloons
in that State, and that. too, though they
had the hatchets with which she de-
stroysd the property, aud the destroy
ed property itself before their eyes.
But, all the same, the jury system is
said by the "irue patriots" of this home
of the brave and land of the free" to be
the palladium of liberty.

A UNIQUE STATE OF AFFAIRS.

The final ratification by Congress of
the cession act OF the Tennessee Legis-
lature, which fixes the Virginis.Ten.
nessee boundary line In the middle of
Maine street, Bristol. places this line
also exactly In the centre of the street
car line which runs q mile direct east
and west, through the city. This Pc
culiar situation, placing one rail OF the
car line In Tennessee and the other In
Virginia, brings about an unusually
unique state of affairs, the like of which
perhaps exists nowhere else 10 the
| United States.
Companions may travel through the
city on an electric Car, and by sitting on
opposite sides OF the Car, one will make
the trip in the State of Virginia, and
the other in Tennessee. On the sum-
mer cars the same will be true when
persons sit within an inch of each other,
provided they occupy position with
the center line OF the Car between them.
When it is II o'clock (noop) on the
north side OF the car. 1t is only IL a. N.
with passengers on the south side OF
the car. Under these circumstances
one may pass from IL to IL o'clock in
an instant by moving from the south
to the north side of the car, Then, il
this time be too fast to suit his purpose
he may reverse it one hour by returning
to the south side of the car.
The marriage OF minors, which is
forbidden In the State of Virginia, ex-
cept by the written consent of parents,
may now be performed on the electric
cars in accordance with law. Virginia
youths who may desire to experience
such novelty can now board a car
with minister at hand and be married
legally by occupying position on the
south side Of the csr. but If one of
couple OF Virginia minors should stand
on the north side of the car while the
marriage ceremony was being per-
formed, the legality OF the marriage
would be at once disputed, and the CT
floating minister would be called to
account by the stern authorities of Vir-
ginia for plain violation of the law.
10 this instance. the offeDse might be
legalized and pronounced blessing by
the mere shntlling of the feet six inches
to the southwark.
A criminal, wanted in Virginia, might
be apprehended on o street car and If
he were sitting on the south side OF be
Car he could rot be transferred to the
north side by all officer of the lsw--if
be saw ft to claim bis privileee-with-
out requisition from the governor Of
Tennessee, and the same conditions
would apply to criminal wanted In
Tennessee, end found seated on the
north side OF the car.
There are other instances of peculiar
possibilities which might be mentioned
in connection with this interesting
form Of dus life on the border, with its
two SIT, CT laws and constitution

Al FATAL ACCIDENT.
Amos Jones, Of Hiteman, Ac-
cidently Shoots Himself

Bussey Press: The community in
the neighborhood of Hiteman was
shocked yesterday afternoon by the
sad news that Amos Jones had acct
IDENTITY shot and killed himself yester-
day while out hunting.
just how the accident happened
win never be known as Mr. Jones
was alone, but it is known that the
gun was discharged while he was
crawling through fence, and in all
probability the trigger of the gun
caught on the wire, thus causing the
fatal accident.
The charge from the gun entered
his head near tue ear or the base of
the brain tearing a great furrow
across his head to the temple and
causing instant death. Several men
who were not far away heard the re-
port Of the gun, saw Mr.. Jones fall,
and rushed to the scene of the ac-
eident, but found life already extinct.
The body was at once taken to the
home OF the grief stricken family.
Mr.. Jones left home about O'Clock
saying that he was going to get a
mess Of quail for supper, and in q
little over half an hour from that time,
his lifeless body was brought home.
The deceased leaves a wife and
seven children, the Oldest but about
seventeen years of age, to mourn his
death.
The deceased was born in Mahaska
county, about five miles northeast OF
Bussey, aud has been a resident OF
this and the neighboring counties all
his life. He has followed farming as
an occupation most of his life and
was at the time of his death living
on farm about three miles north OF
Hiteman.
