FROM the McMinnviIle
New Era, which loyalty sup
ported Mr.. Bryan in the last
Presidential election, we copy
the following concerning the
mayoralty contest in St.Louis:
The election Of Rolla Wells as
Mayor of ST. Louis over the active
and unnecessary opposition of Mr..
Bryan reminds us of trial before
a West Virginia Magistrate, and
it is the evidence given by one of
the witnesses of fight at a cross
roads blacksmith shop. 1t seems
there was going on a regular all
round fight when the stranger arriv-
ed, who carried chip on his should
er. He was put on the stand, and
asked to state what he knew about
the fight. He said: "Well, it was
about this way. When l rode up
there were several fights going on.
and getting off my horse 1 said:
Gentlemen, are this a free fght?'
l was told 1T was. L then said,
well, l am in;' and about that time
l fell. And that's all ! know about
the fight
Mr.. Wells was the nominee of the
regularly organized Democracy, and
Mr.. Bryan was somewhat out of his
way when he announced that be
''was in" the fight. 1t is safest to
keep out family and nelghborhood
quarrels.

A STORY is current that
wicked Mark Hanna promis-
ed the @. A. r. men that in
the event of Mr.. McKinley's
reelection, he would see to il
that Pension Commissioner
Evans was removed. 1t is a
we'll known fact that Mr..
Evans has proven "a thorn in
the flesh" of the Grand Army
patriots, because he has turn
ed down numerous Of their
schemes to rob the treasury.
It is said that Mr.. Evans has
no idea of resigning, and he
certainly cannot be removed
for failure to discharge his
duty. Mr.. Hanna is being
reminded Of his promise, but
does not seem to be able to
deliver the goods. We hope
Mr.. Evans will continue as
Pension Commissioner so
long as the republicans are
in power.

the adjustment of saloons in
Bolivar is objected to, by a

will prove detrimental to the

An effective argument to meet
this objection is the fact that

THE proposed electric light

gentlemen interested in the
enterprise are at work. A
representative Of an electric

week to submit a bid, and
the promoters are in CORES

whose representatives are ex-
pected within a few days.
One of our citizens, interest

his return he will visit sew

for the purpose of gaining in

feet square with tiled roofs upheld by white
pillars. Each shelter has a wooden drum
and the patrolmen Rre required to pound
upon this every TIME they pass during the
night The roads are thus watched all
night long by native guards armed with
knives and lances; they are supposed to
protect the houseSIandC travellers. Every
native must give two nights a month to
road watching, and two days every month
to work on the road so that on the average
each native gives day every week to road
work. Some of the officials think this is
too great a hardship to the people, but the
older Dutchmen say that it Is through this

palaces which are largely kept up by the
government: but the great mass live In
huts of woven bamboo. thatched with palm
leaves. The walls of many Of the houses
are just like basket work; they are woven
in great sheets and sold by the yard. I
frequently see a pair of brown, bare legs
trotting along carrying the wall of house.
The wall is bent double; It entirely con-
ceals the man within, and looks much like
the cover of an emigrant wagon moving
along upon legs.
The native part Of Bandong is outside
the foreign section. 1t is a bamboo village
and contains about 10000 people. 1t is d.
vided up into streets and alleys, each hut
having it's little garden about 1t. The
houses are all numbered and the govern
ment keeps a record of every family. Near
ly all the houses are small. on the average
not more than fifteen feet square, and so
low at the front that you have to stoop to
enter them. The thatched roofs overhang,
covering the yerandaS in front of the
houses and sometimes the seats around the
sides. The ordinary house contains but one
or two rooms, recess in the rear forming
poorer houses have no beds, for the people
sleep on the floor. The cook stove is a
clay bowl with draft below it. The
cooking Is done outside the house except
in wet weather and as the stove is porta-
bic this is easily arranged.

WOmen's Smoking Cars.

From the London Express.
Smoking seems to be growing in favor
among the fair sex, especially on the con-
tinent. So apparent has this become OF
late that the railroad authorities Of Bel
GUM have been seriously considering the
advisabilty of introducing smoking cars in
which only women shall be allowed to
travel
What has particularly served to bring
the matter before the officials notice is an
incident which happened few weeks ago,
carriages on the Southern railroad reserved
for ladies. and In few minutes after the
train had started from Brussels Lit cigar
cite and began to smoke 1t, whereupon the
other women In the compartment became
very indignant, threatening to complain to
the guard as soon as the train stopped.
Il am In carriage reserved for ladies'"
observed the smoker blandly, land 1 am
not aware Of any law which prohibits
ladies from smoking"
When the train stopped the guard was
informed of the proceedings, but was 10th
to interfere, and the result was that when
the lady smoker arrived at her destination
she consulted a lawyer, who has now by
an action in court raised the interesting
question: Should railroad companies be
compelled to provide separate smoking cars
for ladies who wish to smoke while they
are travelling?
to have taken time by the forelock, for it
is understood that arrangements have al
ready been made On some Of the Belgian
railroads to provide smoking compartments
exclusively for women devotees of the fra
