threatened. The saloon was run by
Mrs. Michael Lochner. The bartender
was warned to close the place, but re-
fused. When the attack on the sa-
loon was made Mrs. Nations follow

! In Barlow county, near the line of
Floyd, says the Atlanta Journal, three
families reside very near each other.
They are known by the names of Sun
day, Monday and Tuesday. A few
days ago the young folks Of the fami-
lies decided to bind the friendship by
still closer ties. The licenses were Sc
cured and Mr.. Monday led Miss Sun
day to the altar on Tuesday, and the
troths Of Mr.. Tuesday and Miss Mon
day were plighted in bonds of matri-
mony on Sunday. The peculiar family
names and their intermarriage is per-
haps not equaled in the entire country.
1t is stated tnat Miss Mondays given
name is Sunday" and Miss Sunday
bore the name of Saturday"
The news Of the great American
steel combination has seriously dis
turbed the British steel making indus
tries, according to a London dispatch
Of the 18th: The head Of a large con-
cern in the Midlands says that the
combination will realize such huge
profits in certain directions that it
will be able to sell at loss in Great
Britain and elsewhere with the view to
compelling the closing of the British
mills, and that ultimately it will hold
the mastery Of the markets. He adds
that the Americans can also prevent
stocks from accumulating and the mar
ket from weakening. British produ-
GERS cannot retaliate because the tar
iff bars the entry of British steel into
the United States. There Is reason to
believe that a desperate attempt will
be made to take the whole British
trade into the hands Of the combina-
ton, and only brief time will elapse
before the Americans commence their
onslaught on a large basis.
Says a Bellefont, Pa, special to the
Philadell hia Record: Because Of the
unconquerable penchant to read other
peoples love letters, Miss Marion Pc
ters, the pretty 1S-year-old daughter of
Daniel Peters, of Hecla, this county,
has gotten into an ocean Of trouble.
Daniel Peters is postmaster at Mingo-
vile. He is also track foreman Of the
Central railroad Of Pennsylvania. His
daughter, Marion, had charge of the
postoffice while her father was at work
there has been constant complaint of
the mail at that office being tampered
with. Letters and packages were open
ed and resealed before delivery. Com
plants at the postoffice failed to RENE
dy the evil, and finally the postoffice
authorities at Washington were noti-
fed. Postoffice Inspector w. M. Ma
lone secured abundance of evidence and
Miss Peters was placed under arrest.
The young woman confessed her guilt
and gave as her reason her desire to
read the love letters sent and received
by the young people Of that communi-
ty. From opening love letters she got
to opening business letters and packa-
ges, but in no instance was the mail
rlied of any Of it's contents. Miss Pc
ters wai"ed hearing and was held in
$500 pail for trial at the next term of
the United States court in Pittsburg.
The senate, on Tuesday, refused to
agree to the house proposition to make
cadets convicted Of hazing, Ineligible
to appointment in the army. The prop
osition was discussed at length. Seve-
raj Of the senators made speeches
against the house report and others ia
vored the same. Senator Butler, of
North Carolina, said he thought little
hazing was necessary to take the con-
ceit out Of the boys. Senator Tillman
said that those cadets who practiced
hazing on their physical interiors, were
"brutes and dogs" Afterward he said
he wanted to apologize to the dogs, for
big ones do not jump on little ones.
The vote on agreeing to the conference
report resulted, yeas 18, nays AZ. Sen
ators Tillman and McLaurin voted for
the suppression of the hazing practice.
There is reason to fear that the tar
iff controversy between the United
States and Russia, may precipitate a
European combination against this
country. The Europeans have been
zealously watching developments for
quite a while and they are considering
the advisability of seizing this as their
opportunity. AS a matter Of fact,
there seems to be great deal of ques-
tion as to whether or not the secretary
of the treasury may not have been too
precipitate in his action. The Dingley
tariff law is almost prohibitive against
