LORD TENNYsoN IN A BRAMeLE.
American Girl Sees the Famous Brit sh Poet and Secures Self-Made
 Sketch.

From the Youths Companion.
 An odd little anecdote was recently re- lated of the manner in which young American girl saw Lord Tennyson, and preserved souvenir of the occasion.
 She had been staying with her family in the Isle of Wight, and although they too well-bred to stare at or waylay the shy, tourist-hating poet-as too many travellers were not ashamed to do-they nevertheless frankly admitted that it was a disappointment to learn on their arriv- al that he was absent from his home at Farringford.
 One day, the youngest daughter, still in her early teens, was strolling alone along a country lane between high hedges when, at turning, she became aware of a tall man in a large cloak trying to squeeze himself through an extremely small gap in thorn hedge into the field beyond. He was scrambling and strug- gling, the briers were clinging, and there were sounds of a ripping and rending nature as his garments yielded to the strain.
 His face was quite buried in the foliage, and she had only view of an expressive back and agitated limbs, as he endeavor- ed vainly to penetrate the thicket He ap- peared to be so badly stuck that she thought for moment of offering her as sistance, but she did not quite venture to do so, and passed on, leaving him still entangled.
 On returning to the inn she drew a clev. CT sketch from memory of the absurd fig ure he had cut, and showed 1t to her family she was narrating the incident. An English friend, a resident of the

 Many remedies for the evil have been suggested, even radical interference by the Federal government But the pri- mary and most effective remedy must be found in an aroused public sentiment, which will not countenance either the commission of the crime or any laxity of the proper authorities topunish 1t. In common with the country, the Herald has hailed with keen satisfaction the
 marvellous progress and prosperity of the South. If it will now stamp out lynching it will render itself a signal service and give the nation new cause for congratu- lation.

 "Tennyson," he cried, "and a capital likeness!'
 He added that he had himself just met the poet, who had returned unexpectedly, an that he had appeared breathless and on his forehead. and was mopping a bleeding eyebrow while growing anath- emas at those counfounded trippers" whom 1t was so difficult to escape.
 This information naturally lent new in- terest to the sketch, and a lively discus sion arose upon the selection of an appro- priate quotation from the laureates s poetry. as an inscription The young art ist herself, solved the problem.

Anxiety in Paris.

Paris, September 13.-The grave condi- tion of President Mckinley has aroused the keenest anxiety in all circles. The correspondent of the Associated Press communicated the news of the Presi- dents relapse to Ambassador Porter and Consul General Gowdy who had no of- ficial advices on the subject. They were both deeply concerned and surprised in view of the recent favorable bulletins. The latest dispatches announcing that
 the President showed signs of improve ment, have slightly relieved the tention.

HOW MRS. M'KINLEY WAS TOLD
News of Shooting Broken to Her by

 Despite all reports to the contrary, Mrs. Mckinley is enduring the ordeal with re- markafsle bravery and self-control. There Is an interesting story concerning the manner in which the sad news was broken to her last Friday. and the way in which she received 1t. Dr. Rixey went to her and said simply:
 ''The President has been hurt.'
 How was he hurt?' asked Mrs. Mo- Kinley.
 Well. man shot at him and one of the shots took effect but we do not be- lieve he Is badly hurt, and we think he will recover"
 Mrs. Mckinley was excited, but she did not lose her self-control She imme- diately asked to be told all the particu' lars.
 'rell me all," she said. Do not keep anything back. I will be brave"
 Dr. Rixey then told her the whole story. Mrs Mckinley listened with wide eyes. Then, womanlike, she sat down and wept for a time. But there was none of the mysteries which had been expect ed. She at no time lost command of her self
 Soon she asked to be taken to her hus- band. pr. Rixey suggested to her thai a scene might do the patient harm whereupon Mrs. Mckinley said she wa; well aware of that and she promised tC be strong and brave.
 She was taken into the room where the President lay. and she kept her word There was no scene. She encouraged the President. This weak woman, herself re- gently at death's door summoned all her powers that she might be useful to her helpmate In the hour of his trials.
 She held her husbands hand spoke cheerily to him, kissed him, and, still calm and self-possessed, permitted herself to be led from the room The strong fibre of the Saxton family stood her in good stead at this hour.

Of Serious Concern to the South,

From the New York Herald.
 To the South this is matter of serious concern. Such lawlessness is more than a disgrace to the community where com mitted. It is a business and commercial injury, as mob violence always is, wherever 1t breaks out or there Is danger of it. We do not forget that there is much outspoken condemnation of lynch ing by Southern men and papers. It Is not less true that many public officers, from governors down to sheriff, courage ously strive to prevent it. At the same time 1t is obvious that the practice would

UNIVERSITY LAND
 CASE SETTLED
The University Gets Back its
 Land and $11,000
END OF FAMOUS LAW SUIT
The sloss-Sheffield Company Also Sat isfied With the Terms of the Com promlse-The Matter Was
 Satisfactorily jzrbitrated.

The controversy between the Universi- ty of Alabama and the Sheffield Company regarding the sale of certain lands has, as stated in the Age-Herald, been satisfactorily settled. The dispute arose over the sale of 400 acres of coal lands belonging to the university to the Sloss-Sheffield Company, the latter glv- ing its check for $56,O00 in payment.
 The lands sold did not lie In one body but were intermingled with various tracts belonging to the Sloss-Sheffield Company. The sale created political furore and a suit was brought to enjoin the terms of the sale from being carried out. This resulted In a sediment being made between the parties with view Of consolidating the holdings of each in large tracts instead of in scattered lots, Prof. Eugene Smith, state geologist, rep resented the university in the settlement and T. H. Aldrich the sloss-sheffield Company.
 Details of the Settlement.
 After very careful and thorough nvesti- gation they reported that tracts of 2oO' acres might be exchanged In that way and this report was the basis of the set clement which has been agreed on-
 By the terms of the settlement:
 The Sloss- Sheffield Company received back It's check for $56,000.
 The Sloss-Shefield Company conveyed to the university 25Oo acres of land.
 The university conveyed to the Sloss- Sheffield Company like body of land.
 This left disposition to be made of the other 1900 acres of the original deal. This tract is conveyed back by the Sloss-Shef- field Company to the university.
 Finally, to even up all disparities be- tween the two bodies of 2500 acres ex- changed the Sloss-Sheffield Company paid to the university a bonus of about $11, GOO. In a word, the university gets as many acres of land as it originally con- veyed to the company, with the advantage of having them practically in one body and the Sloss-Sheffield Company is the gainer by the fact that its possessions ir the same section are now more compact and accessible

Old Simpson, her father. was the
