HIS VOTE WAS NEEDED,
And Senator Erwin, Though Sick,
Went to Nashville.

Monday Senator E. E. Erwin re-
ceived telephone message from Nash
vile, urging him, if possible, to be pres
ent in the Senate Monday when the bill
extending the operations of the four.
mile law to towns of 5000 inhabitants
and less was called. The friends of the
measure said that his presence was alb
solutely necessary as the bill would
probably pass with his vote, but with
out it, it would be lost.
Senator Erwin had been i'll with the
grip since last Thursday, beng hardly
able to leave his bed, much less his
room. Monday night, however, he called
in his physician and advised with him
in regard to taking the trip Hi;
physician stated that if he would wrar
himself up carefully, ride in a closed
hack to the Columbia depot and also
use the same precaution III riding from
the depot in Nashville to the Capitol, he
thought there would be no danger.
As the success of the pending measure
was SO near his heart, and knowing it tC
be the will cf his constituents, Senator
Erwin decided to make the sacrifice and
hazard the trip; so he took the trair
Tuesday morning for Nashville.

sor church bells tolled solemnly and
the strains of the band, gradually
growing stronger and stronger,
echoed from the castle quadrangle.
At 3:15 the head of the procession
passed slowly out of King Georges
arch.
The queens pipers played from the
gates of the mausoleum itself. On ar
irving there the queens company of
grenadiers opened upward and formed
in double rank on the steps of the
mausoleum.
The choir met the funeral cortege
on the steps. The highlanders, pfpers
and servants, ON their arrival, went
into the mausoleum and took up the
positions allotted to them
Then the coffin was carried into the
mausoleum preceded by the choir and
clergy.
The members of the royal family
took places on each side of the sar-
cophagus, the royal household stand
ing in the transept on each side. The
rest of the ceremony was private, as
the space inside the mausoleum was
limited.

exercises in honor of John Marshall Day.
At the afternoon session the Senate
pas sed Mr.. Fahey's cocaine bill. The
measure was amended by that body,
making the penalty a very severe one.
Should the measure receive the sigma
ture of the Governor, and it doubtless
will, there will be a penalty of between
S100 and $500 to give away or sell cocaine
in this State. The only exception which
the bill allows is that druggists may
sell the drug upon physicians pre-
scription, but only once upon the same
prescription. The bill does not inter-
fere with the sale of cocaine by whole
sale druggists to retailers, or the sale by
retailers to physicians and dentists.
The House was in session little more
than an hour and did little beyond rou-
tine work.
The House to-day adopted resolu-
tion inviting ex, Senator David B. Hill
to visit the General Assembly and de-
liver an address.

John Marshall was born in Fauquier
County, Va, Sept. %, 1855. He died
July 6, 1885, at the ripe age of so years.
His education was not collegiate. 1t
was for the most part self acquired. He
early developed strong love for Eng
lish literature and it is said of him that
at tie early age of II, under the guild
ance of his father he was thoroughly
familiar with Dryden, Shakespeare
Milton and Pope.
He had the advantage of only one
year in a classical academy and one
other year of instI uction in Latin under
the direction of private preceptor lie
began the study of law at 18, but the
, military preparations in anticipation of
the Revolution much interrupted his
studies and before they we're completed
the stirring story of Concord and Lex
ington had found its way to Virginia
aud the young student became the ar
dent patriot soldier.
In 1888 he removed his residence tC
Richmond, Va, where he continued tC
reside until his death July 6, 1885.
There he was placed upon a most con
spicious stage. Among his great rival;
were Patrick Henry, John Wickman
James Innes, Alexander Campbell
/ benjamin Bolts, and Edmund Ran
dolph, all names which shine as bright
stars in the legal armament. He al
once took rank with them as an equa
and very soon became recognized and
/ known as chief among them.
He sat as a delegate in the grea
Virginia constitutional convention o
l7SS. He served in 1897, in association
with Mr.. Pinkney and Mr.. Gerry, as al
envoy extraordinary to France. III
vas a member of the Sixth Congress
and served for a short time in thu
/ Cabinet OF President Adams, both al
Secretary Of War and Secretary o
State, in which last named place he wa
serving when made Chief Justice
None of these political enioyments wer'
Of his own seeking. They we're all &C
cepted from a high sense Of patriots
duty as a service which he could no
J honorably avoid in the then formative
and critical state of the Union.
In each. bis employment was OF
kind which VAS well adapted to equil
him tor the vast service he -jbsequentl.
rendered his country as the great ex

family attender the services beside
the coffin at an early hour in the
morning.
Dismounted life guardsmen in their
scarlet cloaks, the white plumes of
their helmets glistening in the sun,
kept the route clear from the castle
slope. Amid the bare boughs of trees
below the mist arose from the damp
earth, trampled into mud by the un-
easy feet of thousands. The air was
sharp and cold.
| From the Albert Memorial chapel
| to the mausoleum, nearly mile from
the great gate of the castle, there is a
steep slope of 500 yards, at the bot
tom of which is the lodge gate and a
! fence. On the castle side of this were
/ hundreds of ticket holders. On the
other side where the long walk COM
mences, the public was massed.

color was added to the scene. SiY Wal
ter Parrott, private organist to the
| late queen and organist of st. Georges
chapel royal, Windsor, and his choir,
all in surplices and college caps
walked quickly down the slope,
through the crowds to the mauso-
leum. The minute guns commenced
to boom, as battery of artillery at
the foot of the long walk paid its final
honors to the dead queen. The Wind

NASHVILLE, Feb. 2.-The Senate Ju-
dietary Committee has recommended
for passage the now famous Peeler bill.
This bill as ii passed the House amends
the act of 1899 so as to make it apply to
towns of 5000 inhabitants or less. The
fact of the town being incorporated
would not affect the question. Under
the amendment offered by Senator Seay
before the committee the bill will only
apply to towns of 5000 inhabitants or
less hereafter incorporated.
The bills to allow women to practice
law, and to make them eligible to ap
pointment as notories public, were re
jected by the Senate.
Senate Peake's bill providing that
the teachers Of the public schools shall

The greater part of the afternoon ses
sion of the House was taken up with the
discussion of two bills. The Shiloh
Park bill to appropriate $4,000 for the
purpose of eretcing monument on this
battlefield called out the best discussion
of the session. Those who favored it
urged Its passage on the ground that the
Government had done the State an
honor by agreeing to perpetuate the
battertieId as a national park, and that
Tennessee should commemorate the
valor and heroism of her Confederate
soldiers who had participated in this
battle. Those who opposed the measure
did so on the groond that the money
could be more properly spent in pension
| ing the living veterans his appeal
seemed to carry more weight than the
speeches on the other side, for the vote
showed a majority in the opposition.
The House unanimously rejected the
bill appropriating 5000 to bring the
Tennessee troops home from San Fran
cisco.
NASHVILLE, Feb. 2.-The Senate was
