the minority. recovering from their
surprise, jumped II bodily and at
tempted 10 bury the original with

ployed a stenographer for the Senate
who shall keep a stenographfc. or

debate on the floor OF the Senate
Upon the adjournment of the Senate
each day the stenographer shall depo-
sit his notes with the Clerk Of the

of ten dollars per day for each day Of
his services, and in addition thereto
he shall receive the sum of fifteen
cents for each folio of one hundred
words that he shall transcribe, under
the regulations hereinbefore provid-
ed"
The claim was set up that the reso-
luton was granting TO the clerk of
the Senate almost autocratic power
and authority. Mr.. Brown moved to
amend to the effect that the Senate
and not the clerk direct the printing
of such proceedings as are required
by individual Senators. He endeav-
ored to show to the majority that the
passing of the resolution would result
in an expense to the territory Of
$500. if every senator made demand
for transcript of his remarks
Mr.. Carter decried the fact that the
clerk of the Senate should become
vested with so much authority. Mr..
Kanuha deserted the Independents in
the matter. by speaking in a negative
vein and afterward voting against the
measure The resolution passed by
narrow margin.
Mr. Brown Immediately arose and
made a formal demand upon the clerk
of the Senate for transcribed copy
of the stenographic notes of proceed
ings of the Senate since the first OF
the session He claimed the right
under the provisions of the resolution.
The request was ruled out of order.
Senate Bill No. &c came up for

Preparation of Furs.

w Ol AG hpbh
 It does not require mach space to store the costIier furs in the stockroems of the manufactures In one small case, divid- ed into several compartments lined with common tarred paper, ] saw $65.0OO worth of pelts. One silver foxskin, not more than two and d half feet long, sold in London a season or two ago for s 900; another one sold in St. Paul last year for $1, 200. while the average price of these costly skins is from S70O to $500 apiece They are made up into muffs or boas; an opera cloak of thep would be worth many thousands of dollars.
 When a master workman in fur manu- factory is cutting up skins he Is literally cutting money Skins once passed for frontier money, but their value is now much greater than in the early days, and 1t would be less costly to cut out gar ment from ten dollar bills than to cut it from some skins. The cutting is quite an interesting feature of the work. To prepare a mink or a sable, for example, the skin must be slashed into strings narrow pieces more or less irregular in snape-which are afterward sewed together. There may be thousand pieces fin single cloak. the new and beautiful skins being literally cut to pieces before they are manufactured. The obiect of this is to lengthen the skins The sable for example. say ? feet in length. will be drawn out to 4 feet. and all Its markings preserved, so that if looks like a very long. but we'll pronortioned skin. The original skin is so cut to pieces that it may all be matched" again in the elongated shape.

R. N. Cheek Secures Liberty for Mrs. Mamie 'a Cheek---She Has Been in Prison with
 Her Young Babe.

Mrs. Mamie Cheek, who Is in the Henry County jail, was paroled yester- day by Governor Jelks and she ana her infant child will be released from the jail today.
 Mrs. Cheek is a young woman whose career has been filled with dramatic inci' dents. Although she is less than twenty years old she has been twice married, IS the mother of several children, and was recently sentenced to two years in the penitentiary for complicity in the murder of Danzey her first husband from whom she was divorced.
 She Is now the wife of R. M. Cheek, who Is said to be an eminently respecta- ble citizen of Georgia. He resides just across the line from Henry County, Ala, Cheek has taken a deep interest in. the trouble of his wife and 1t is said Ehaf his fidelity to her has resulted iIE h& liberation from prison < kf ss When Mrs. Creek.zsuho is-aA=dsasGht tAs of Joe Baker, a wealthy citizen of Henry County, was 13 years old she was mAfrief to Danzey, young farmer living In the vicinity of Abbeville. Two children were born to them. Mrs. Cheek was comedy young woman and she had admirers. Danzey sued her for divorce on the ground of infidelity and was granted a decree. The court awarded him the custody of the two children.
 Danzey married again and after the lapse of a few years the woman was mar ried to Cheek, the young Georgian. Last summer the Cheeks came to Henry Coun- ty to visit the relatives of Mrs. Cheek. Danzey lived in the same neighborhood and was on good terms with the Baker family Mrs. Cheek and a brother-in- law visited the home of Danzey and after pleasant social intercourse were about to leave when Mrs. Cheek appealed to her former husband to allow her to take her children with her She sat In buggy with the oldest of the children and her brother-in-law playfully remarked to Mrs Cheek that there was no use in

begging for her child when she had the little one in the buggy with her. This remark angered Danzey and it is said he attacked the brother-in-law, who was thrown to the ground and stabbed several times. The brother-in-law shot Danzey with pistol.
 The evidence showed that Danzey rushed to the buggy and seized Mrs. Cheek who had been peeling an apple for the child with a small knife. When she was seized by her former husband it is said she struck him several blows with the knife.
 Danzey died from his wounds and the brother-in-law died few weeks after the difficulty. It is said that the brother in-law died of pneumonia superinduced by the wounds he had received. T Ms, Cheek was indicted for man. sslauNhter and at the recent term of the Henry County Circuit Court held ai spethan@she was convicted. The jury gave her the lightest sentence. two years WithSte three months old child she went to, the county jail. pending an effort or the patti of her friends to secure a parole or pardon from the Governor.
 As stated by The Advertiser yesterday morning clemency was recommended by the Advisory Pardoning Board at it's meeting Tuesday evening, and the Gov ernor yesterday announced that he had granted a parole to Mrs. Cheek.
 The following endorsement was made by the Governor upon the application for clemency:
 ''The affidacit of the physician shows that this woman is in delicate health and that confinement in the penitentiary would probably result in her death. She is the mother of babe only five months old. Her pardon is recommended by the Solicitor and all the jurors who tried the case, and large number of the best citi- zens of Henry County, as well as the Advisory Pardoning Board Let parole issue, conditioned on future good be- havior."
