and most other branches of the jobbing

demand for goods, with orders of larger
size, than since the opening of the cur

the gradual advances in pig iron during

rRlsu1Es TO HARRISON.

Senator Stephen b. Elkins, OF West
Virginia: i knew Gen. Harrison init
lmately long before he became president
His family and my own often spent the
summers together in those days, and in
this way became familiar with his
many unusual and admirable personal
Qualities. 1 regard him as one of the
ablest statesmen and jurists of our
time, one of the greatest and most
forceful men this nation has produced.
He will rank with the foremost of our
presidents. He was surpassed by no
president as a constitutional and inter-
national lawyer and 1t was his extra
ordinary ability as a lawyer that cons
tributed so largely to his success in the
administration of his great office.
He was much better known and APP
prcciated by the people of this country
and by The world al large after leaving
the presidency than he was as presi-
dent. In disp position he was gentle and
afrectionate aid he showed TO those
who knew him best a nature full of ten-
derness and sympathy. He loved his
own country and his own people first,
but he was friend of humanity and
stroye to advance just and noble causes
al over the world. He was a man WHO
looked on all sides of all great ques-
tions, social political ard legal. He
never took a warped or one sided view
of any problem. lie found the truth In
every difficult proposition almost by in
tuition. His mind was logical and Went
to the heartaof things as straight as a
bullet. Hi was able to separate truth
from error quicker than any other man
| have ever known.
Gen. Harrson's death is O loss TO the
United States and to the world. Ills

IEtimes We're much needed. Mr.. Blaine

idency he showed himself not only a

Drunke mess and Crime.

We have often heard drunkenness
pleaded in extenuation of crime. and we
regret to say that we have seen such pleas
effective in Georgia courts.
Men indicted for murder in this State
have either been acquitted or have re-
ceived ridiculousy light sentences on the
ground that they had been drunk so long
that they had become irresponsible. Ma
MIA potu" is the high sounding name the
lawyers give to this state Of mind, which,
it is claimed, excuses crime.
The Louisiana Supreme Court takes no
stock in this mania.
A man named Boab was indicted for
manslaughter. His defense was that he
was suffering from delirium tremens and
did not know what he was doing. The
Jury found him guilty and he was SEN
fenced to four years in the, penitentlary.
The case was appealed, and in affirming
the judgment Of the court below the Su'
preme Court said: :.
"Where a party IN possession OF hls
mind enters into voluntary drunken de-
bauch he is not legally excusable. for
homicide which he commits during its con;
tinuance, and while in a condition OF
drunkenness, even though the drunken.
ness may be such at the time OF the com
mission of the homicide as to render. his
mind incapable of knowing right from
wrong. II the debauch be one continuing
voluntary drunken debauch, starting with
the sanity of the party engaged in it, the
mere length of time the debauch may ex'
tend over IS immaterial. Drunkenness for
a week no more excuses homicide com.
mitted as it's immediate and direct result
than would drunkenness for an hour,

not wonder that the decision is commend
ed highly by the press of Louisiana.-At

whats the matter?" asked a friend.
Matter" said the clerk. "Why. it's
the same old story. I've been stuck
for another check This check busi-
ness causes us hotel clerks more
trouble than anything else in the world.
There is i general rule in hotels that
no checks shall be cashed. but very Of
ten travellers run short Of money. 1t is
good business policy to cash these
checks when you can be sure that
they're all right. No hotel can afford
to be continually offending guests. At
the same time, if a clerk cashes a bad
check he has to stand the loss.
"The average hotel clerk has learned
by bitter experience to be q pretty
good judge of human nature. but every
now and then he slips up. Only a
week ago a big. splendid-looking fell
low came to me and got me to cash
check for 500 I sized him up and de-
cided that he was all right. and that
he was a good man to keep among the

days later back came the check with

suit was that T was out $40

The clerk was all graciousness. He
took the check and examined it care
fully without saying anything.
"Oh. it's all right" said the woman.
"Of course. if you don't want to cash
it you needn't. Mr.. So-and-So knows
me quite we'll. and you can telephone
him about it if you wanf TO. but 1t
would save me great deal of trouble
if you would cash it for me now"

and then he went over and held con-
sultation with the cashier
They decided that the woman was a
good investment and gave her the
money. She went away smiling. and
then the clerk said:
"Now, there is just about an even
money chance. If hadn't cashed that
check she would have been highly in
suited, and would have talked about
