About the Horse,

duclvc to healthy skin" Other writers
say that "horse-clipping Is a sanitary
measure. as n long. heavy coat OF
shaggy hair cannot be conducive to
healthy skin" 1t Is beyond doubt that
horses regularly clipped are subject to
a number OF Ills that do not affect un.
clipped horses 30 generally or 30 seri.
ously. Nature may be trusted In the
matter Of fitting TO each animal Its GOV.
ering. The horses coat Is his entire
wardrobe. His hair protects him In
both summer and winter. II the hair
should be clipped from horses. why
should not the feathers be stripped
or clipped from birds, the shells from
turtles. and the hair and wool from all
animals? What did nature intend,
then. when she developed the horse
and put upon him his hair. tail and
name? Who ever saw or heard Of a
diseased or unhealthy skin In a herd
OF Wild horses? Removal OF the natu-
raj coat must necessarily affect the
horses power to stand sudden chIlls
when heated. or quick heating when
he finds himself out In the hot sun, or
radiation OF warmth. or evaporation Of

Queer Ideas Are the order OF the day

horse writer's Insist that the working
horse should go unshod. In soft and

Ing disposed of the several missions which

this evening. While here he called ct
the Postoffice Department to make GER
tain recommendations in connection with
the establishment of rural free delivery
service in the congressional districts of
Representatives Bartlett Tate and Mad
dox, respectively His work in this di-
rection is in cooperation with the con-
gressmen from the districts interested. so
there Is no conflict as to the recommenda-
tions made. The proposed routes are to
be located and established without de-
lay. In this connection, Senator Clay
made a request for the appointment of an
inspector for the rural free delivery SER
vice in Georgia, and his request will be
granted after the first of July, the begin
ming of the new fiscal year.
Senator Clay also Joined the citizens Of
Eatonton in urging the appointment Of
Mr.. Webster as postmaster at that place.

pointment. Mr. Webster is backed by the
better element in the community, and 1t

cal record. backed up by Senator Clay's
Endorsement Miss Bass of Clarksvile

MINERS ARE Determined.
Prospect of More Serious Trouble
Yet at west virginia Mines.

Matewan. w. Va. June 2l.-The situa-
ton throughout the Thacker, Matewan
and Dlngess coal fields to-day is still
a grave one.
Word of last evenings trouble spread
rapidly. and on early morning trains sew
eral union agents arrived. They went
promptly to work and early It was an
nounced that the mob was under control
but only to plan for concerted action of
all the union miners in Mngo, who num-
ber nearly two thousand. They are gath
ering here this evening from throughout
the section, and tomorrow, probably in
the morning. the strikers will hold a
meeting. One OF the leaders said that
II the non-union men could not be per-
suaded they would be compelled. That
this time they would meet force with
force. This causes great deal of apprc-
henson,. and the result is to be decided
The Maritime mines and a few others
are running to-day with a half force of
non-union men. The guards have been
quadrupled, and are standing all about
the mines watching every move. In all
other respects Supt. Lambert is acting as
though nothing had happened. Sheriff
Hatfield Is still on hand waiting for any
emergency that may arise.
On next Monday morning the operators
win make an attempt to eject from their
property all the striking miners now oc-
cupylng houses In the coal fields. This
will no doubt cause everything to break
out afresh. and the crisis will be likely
reached on Monday.

senator Clay Gets savannah hoy
Away From Philippines.
Washington, June 2l-At the instance
of Senator Clay the Secretary of War
authorized the discharge of Joseph Low
enstein of Savannah, from the hospital
corps, U. S. A. Lovenstein is now on duty
in the Philippine Islands. For some time
past he has been in poor health, and his
friends at home have made several un-
successful attempts TO procure his dis
charge. His record since he entered the
service has been exceptionally good and
the officers of the medical corps in the
Philippines have resisted all efforts TO
obtain his discharge because of his ef-
ficiency.
While Senator Clay was in Savannah
recently the friends of Lovenstein ap-
pealed to the Junior senator to present
the case to the Secretary of War, and
urge that the discharge be granted. SEN
ator Clay presented the case to the War
Department officials in such a way that
they could not well resist his appeal, and
accordingly an order was issued to-day
and cabled to Manila directing Hospital
Steward Lovenstein to proceed to San
Francisco at once, file a formal applica-
tion for discharge and be honorably dis
charged from the service on account of
i'll health.

USED CASH AGAINST BOERS.
Libel Suit in berlin Brings Out SEN
sationaI Charges.

Berlin, June H.-The libel action brought
by DR.. Lyman of the Leipsic Nueste
Nachrichten against Dr. Schmits, Dr.
Loock and the Cologne Gazette, arising
from Dr. Lymans assertion that the De-
Beers Company sent 100000 marks to
Cologne for political purposes, has re-
suited in the imposition of small fines
upon Schmits and Loock.
In the course of the trial to-day Herr
Jansen attorney for DR.. Lyman, offered
to prove the assertions of his client and
named witnesses, who, he asserted, would
gave evidence that a syndicate composed
OF the DeBeers and other South African
company has large fund the
Standard Bank of South Africa, Limited,
at Salisbury, Rhodesia, for political pur-
poses; that this fund is held without di-
rect accountability to the members of the
syndicate; that the syndicate paid Herr
Gehl, the Pretoria correspondent of the
Cologne Gazette 1900 marks a month;
that Gehl admitted having been bribed by
the syndicate; that Gehl was courtmar-
tailed and sentenced to death as traitor
to the Beers; and that check from the
syndicate for 200 900 marks was found
among Gehls effects
The court declined to hear Herr jan
sens witnesses because Herr Gehl was
not on trial.
