while others swear that Hell is dry.
But which of these be true or not
Itstili obta,Hs that He'll Is hot;
A place for sinners lost to shame
To roast. red-wrnppcd IN writhing fame.
Yet. there are many. without grace.

Washington. November e.-The president
has appointed the following postmasters
for Texas: Fort Worth George w Bur

tlan.
In his appointments today the president
disregarded the recommendations of the
republican organization In three States in
four cases: Fort Worth, Texas; Clarksdule,
Miss and Decatur and Union Springs
Ala.
In these cases the organizations candl-
dates were found not to meet all the re-
quirements. There was a greater number
of papers in the Fort Worth postofhce case
than in any other on record. The aggrc.
gate weight Of the documents was twenty
SIX pounds. There were twenty-three can
didates for the Office The appolntee at
Fort Worth was strongly supported by
Fort Worth business men and by the
Texas friends Of tie president, among
whom were soldiers of the Spanish-Ameri-
can war. IL is a veteran Of the civil war

merry, Endorsed locally and by j. f. Cha

holder in the Santa Fe railroad.
AT Union Springs the contest was wagcd
warmly ana neither republican faction
won, the assistant postmaster being pro
noted solely on his record,
The appointee at Decatur, Ala, is the
daughter OF the retiring postmaster and
was Endorsed by business men of Decatur
The State republican committee had an
other candidate.
The Clarksdale, Miss sppointee was
postmaster during the Harrison administra-
tiou. w. G.. Cole was appointed postmas-
mendation Of National Committeeman Tur
ley Protests were teleSraphCd here sub
sequentiy that the appointment was OF a
carpethag nature and that Cole had resided
at ClarkSdale less than the prescribed six
months for citizenship. An investigation
coToborated this charge and the change
therefore was made.
