HAVE THEY REsIGNEDs

The point is raised whether Senators
Tillman and McLaurin have resigned. BY
some authorities it is held that they have
only given notice of their intention to re-
sign. That being the case they are free
to withdraw the documents which they
sent to the Governor at any time before
Sept. TO- the time fixed for them to be
effective
A resignation to take effect on future
date is held not to be a resigna ton. The
House of Representatives has decided
that it is not, and so has the Supreme
Court Of Indiana. When Representative
Dolliver resigned to succeed the late Sen
ator Geer in the Senate, he made his res
ignation take effect on the first Monday
in December following. The certificate of
his successor reoFted that fact. and the
House held that 1T did not appear that
there was any vacancy in Mr.. Delivers
district, as his resignation was only no
tice of his intention to resign A new
certificate therefore was necessary.
There is no doubt, of course, that It was
the intention of Senators Tillman and
McLaurn TO resign. Still the way is open
If they want to hold on to their positions.
And who can tell what they may want
to do in the matter before September?
Suppose it should become clear that the
people had about made up their minds
that as Messrs. Tillman and McLaurin
seemed to hold the honors conferred on
them very lightly. and had put them to
great deal of unnecessary trouble they
would throw them both overheard and
elect entirely new men? In that event
these gentlemen might think it advisable
to hold on to their places.
There is no doubt an undercurrent Of
feeling against them in South Carolina,
even the farmers, it is said, not feeling
kindly towards Tillman for bringing on
an exciting campaign just at a time when
they will be busy in gathering their cot
ton and other fall crops. Messrs. Tillman
and McLaurin surprised the people In
turn the people may surprise them.

An ImpartiaI Woman.

This is the grave of the most Impair
tial woman on record" said the guide in
Cave Hill Cemetery to party who Wis
tied the beautiful cemetery the other day,
says the Louisville Courier Journal
Away over that second knoll there Is a
lot containing only two graves, and the
headstone of each is marked Father.
THE woman who is buried here was
married twice, and the two graves in that
lot are the graves of her two husbands.
She tried her best to treat her second
husband as she did the first, and even
when he died she had no idea of showing
any preference. But she was sick when
the funeral service of her second husband
was held. She directed that the partner
of her second matrimonial venture be laid
by the side of the first, but that enough
space be left to bury her between the
two.
by some hook or crook a mistake was
made, and when she visited the cemetery
she found that they were buried side by
side, with no space between.
"Well. sir, she didn't know what to do
She argued that if she should be buried
by the side of her first husband it would
not be fair to the memory of her last
spouse, and vice-versa. What did she do?
Why, when she died she left request
that she be buried in another lot, away
from both of them. And it was needed"

Surgery with a Match.

An aged, weIl-dressed man, with white
side whiskers and a general appearance
of substantial prosperity and eminent re-
ctability. stepped into the retail store
on Fifth avenue Of a book publisher the
other day, says the New York Times, and
asked one of the young clerks in a con-
idential undertone:
Have you a match?"
Certainly sir" replied the young man,
producing a handful of lucifers from his
vest pocket, but you viii permit me 40
say that it is against the rules to smoke
In this shop"
ooh, that's all right" replied the old
gentleman, amiably. II never smoke"
With that he began 90 tumble in his
pockets Not finding what he wanted, he
asked the clerk for the loan of a knife.
Then he lit the match, blew it out i'm
mediately, and began to sharpen the
burned end into point.
"Ah, 1 see you need toothpick" re-
whiting process.
The old gentleman made no reply, but
when he had put nice point to the
match he again spoke.
Perhaps" he said, you have a quiet
place where l could sit down for few
moments without being Observed"
The clerk, wondering what the old gen
tleman might ask for next, politely led
the way to a corner of the store fitted
with easy chairs for the benefit Of such
patrons of the firm as might want to
glance over a book before buying it. The
old gentleman sat down and without
moments hesitation rolled up the left leg
of his trousers to a point above the knee.
Then, using the back of the knife as
hammer, with a few well-directed blows
he drove the match into his knee. Then,
readjusting his trousers, he handed the
knife back to the astonshed young man,
and said:
Il am very much obliged to you. You
see l have a wooden leg, and one of the
pins holding ii together fell out. The
match will do very nicely until 1 can get
home. If you should happen to be over
in Newark and have anything the matter
with your leg, just step into my office and
l shall be glad to assist you"
Then, as he handed the cleark a card
bearing the name of a prominent finan-
cier in Newark, he smiled bowed polite
ly, and walked out.

QUESTION IN THE
ARMY


The question of the canteen in the army
is just now attracting a vast amount Of
attention because of the talk that the
Prohibitionists are making about it. Be-
cause the Secretary of War has instruct
ed the officers at the different army posts
| to forward to the War Department re-
ports showing the effect of the closing Of
the canteen, they have come to the con-
| clusion that an effort is to be made next
winter to have the canteen restored.
1t seems to be admitted that the reports
which the Secretary of War is receiving
show that since the closing of the can
teen intoxication among the soldiers has
| increased greatly, and that there are more
offenses that can be traced directly to the
use of strong drink.
The members of the Women's Christian
Temperance Union are particularly active
in combating the impression that strong
drink is doing more harm among the SOL
diers since the canteen was closed than
it did when the canteen was open. 1t
was mainly through their efforts that the
canteen was closed. They are therefore
A'ANNA 1890
that they brought about great reform,
and not in causing a state of affairs that
reflects no credit upon their organization.
They are aware of course of the charac-
ter of the reports which the Secretary of
War is receiving from army officers re-
spectiug the canteen matter, and they
are inclined to believe that the officers
are not showing the situation just as it
is. Mrs. Lila V. Stevens, the President
of the Womens Christian Temperance
Union, stated in Chicago a few days ago
that "there is a great deal of evidence
that there is a conspiracy among some
of the army officers to work up public
sentiment in favor of reinstating the can
teen"
This sort of talk has aroused a vast
amount of feeling among army officers,
who from all accounts, are making as
honest reports as 1t is possible to make
They are inclined to tell some things
which show that the Women's Christian
Temperance Union is not so much con-
cerned in getting at the truth as it is in
maintaining the position it has taken.
TINS controversy over the matter 49, VI
course, 20 be regretted. There is no good
reason to doubt that the temperance wo-
men are thoroughly sincere. They are
rather proud no doubt of their success in
having the canteen closed, and 1T may
be that their minds are shut to the facts.
1t is undoubtedly true that at the army
posts the officers are having far more
trouble with the enlisted men now than
when a canteen was permitted. The SOL
diers cannot be kept in the barracks all
the time. and when they get their money
on pay days they hunt up the saloons in
the towns and drink to intoxication. An
officer at Fort Schuyler said the other day
that before the canteen was closed there
were only three court-martias at that
post for intoxication in two Years and a
half, and that there had been forty court
martials in the last month for that
offense. Against such facts the opponents
of the canteen will find it difficult to make
much Roadway.

po,vEn OF THE CREDIT MAN.

Very few outside of commercial circles
realize the Importance of the part the
credit man plays in business affairs. 1t is
onlv in recent years that the credit man
| has come to be a power. Formerly gen
eral inquiries were made as to man
| business standing and financial aointy'
but now his private character is looked
into, and the credit mans records CON
tain facts that would result in the
bringing of many divorce suits If they
were made public.
Nowadays there is scarcely a business
house of Importance in any part of the
country that does not have its credit man.
And he earns his salary. Many man
whose credit is good is either on the
verge of bankruptcy or is leading a lite
that will ultimately bring him into fnan-
cial ruin. Every once in a while man
is refused credit at bank or at a store
and wonders why. He is not aware that
the credit man has been looking up his
record and has found things in his pri-
vate life which ne supposed were wholly
unknown in the business world-things
which are almost certain to lead to f1nan-
cial trouble.
As matter of fact in these days char
acter calls for almost as much as cash.
A man of good character who has bust
ness ability and who is industrious and
economical can get any reasonable
emount of credit. He is trusted when
credit is refused to men who are far bet
ter off, so far as the possession of prop
erty is concerned but who are dissipated
or who gamble or lead double lives.
1t is related in the Philadelphia Led
gers New York correspondence that in
the latter city recently a credit mans
wife found her dressmaker in tears when
calling on her to have some work done.
On inquiring the cause she was told by
the dressmaker that customer had just
refused to pay a large bill because her
husband, a prominent merchant, had re-
fused to give her the money. The credit
man, of course, heard of the matter, and
he inquired into the merchants financial
standing, which at the time was so good
that the banks were readily buying his
paper. A further inquiry disclosed the
fact that the merchant was leading a
wild life. and was squandering money in
various ways, though he was generally
looked upon as a model citizen. Credit
was at once refused him by the banks
and in short time he was declared a
bankrupt.
The credit man is abroad He is on the
watch. A good character is capital The
chance of a man of good moral character
for getting ahead in the world. if he have
ordinary ability, is better than that of a
man of immoral character who has money
TO back him, because the former is sure
of get ng credit whenever he is in need
of financial assistance.
The National Association of Credit Men
will meet in convention in Cleveland, o.,
next month, and doubtless there will be
much in the conventions proceedings that
will be interesting to the public.

A MARRIAGE OF SOCIALISTS

There are several reasons why the news
papers are giving 50 much attention to the
marriage of Professor George D. Heron,
leader of the socialist crusade and minis
ter of the Congregational Church, and
Miss Carrie Rand, which was made public
last Monday. One is that a meeting of
| the popular Get Together Club was pre-
vented recently because the Rev. DR..
Hills and some other prominent men re-
fused to meet Prof Heron after they
had agreed to meet him, and another is
that Prof. Herrons peculiar notions about
love and marriage have been the subject
of a good deal of discussion during the
last few months.
Prof Heron first attracted attention as
pastor of a 1ourishing Congregational
church in lowe. His advanced views,
of greatly increasing his congregation
Finally he advanced too far for his con-
gregation, and he was compelled to re-
| sign.
In his congress ation there was a wealthy
widow named Rand. This widow had a
Prof Heron and thought she approved
his views. Together the mother and
daughter endowed a chair of Applied
Christianity in the Iowa College at Grin
nell, Of which Prof. Heron became in
cumbent.
Soon after the professor, Mrs. Rand and
Miss Rand went to Europe, the widow, 1t
is said. paying the expenses Of the trip
Ii must not be overlooked that the pro-
fessor had a wife and several children
and from all accounts a very good wife
she was. When she found that the Pro-
fessor no longer found pleasure in her So
ciety, and was with Miss Rand the greater
part of the time, she applied for a divorce
ard obtained it. There is story that
Miss Rand settled $4,000 upon her for her
support and that of her children. IL was
on account Of these reports that the Rev.
Dr.. Hills and other men of prominence
refused 10 have anything further to do
with the Professor.
The marriage of the Professor and Miss
Rand was rather unique. There was no
regular ceremony. A number Of the friends
OF each was present, among them some of
the best known literary men. There was
no plightiug of vows of fathfulness, no
bestowal of a wedding ring. 1t was bus
mess transaction apparently. In the pres
ence of witnesses the Professor and Miss
Rand announced their purpose to live to-
gether as man and wife. A minister said
that as the contracting parties we're unit
ed by the bond of reciprocal love he pro-
nounced them man and wife. Nobody
seems TO have remembered the divorced
wife and her children, who, II is said, are
hid away from observation in the noun
tains of North Carolina.
OF course there arc people who will be
glad to receive them. They have wealth,
and gold opens many doors, but II is a
safe prediction that unless the Professor
is lacking In all OF the finer qualities
OF human nature there win be many hours
when the recollection of the deserted wife
aud children in the mountains Of North
| caraoina will make him feel that his life
has been failure.

Church, at Parkersburg. W. Va, dedica-
ted the other day, has a roof garden up
on it. The pastor who designed the
building, says he believes in being prac-
tfcal rather than formal in religion. In
asmuch as a steeple is not necessary to
make church orthodox, he left the stee-
pie feature off. made the roof fat and
put a palm garden on it. On summer
evenings he will have religious exercises,
music and church entertainments in this
