REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR.

 Next to girls giggie the most brain- less thing is generally vacuum.
 Nothing makes thin man so proud of himself as the sight of a fat woman try ing to act bashful.
 When a man gets divorce from his wife it is generally because she has made him get one from too many other things.
 Probably If Lots wife had been turned into pillar of sugar. 1t would have seemed like bigger miracle to the old man.
 If you make man mad enough he will always tell the truth; If you make a woman truthful enough, she will always get mad

Breakers Ahead in Four States

Breakers Ahead m Four states.
 Texas, Arkansas and Missouri, Ken lucky and Tennessee, Georgia and Florida do not propose to change their respective suffrage systems in any ma terial respect, and Virginia does not propose to adopt discriminations that are open to attack because of the Four teenth or Fifteenth amendments.
 This leaves but five States, namely, the two Carolinas, Mississippi and Louisiana and Alabama, in the radical or extreme class. If Alabama is con tent with a poll-tax provision, which is altogether sufficient. but four revo- lutionary States will be left-with Ala bama but five.
 To say that the Republican party when it needs an issue of that nature will not have the courage and audacity to attack these five States is to assume a great deal. The attack may come through Congress when 1t controls both branches of it as it does at pres ent. or it may come through the Su- preme Court in which it has six out of nine members. It should be remem- pered that the understanding" clause, which Mississippi and South Carolina have adopted, has been but incident ally treated in the Supreme Court, and case can doubtless be made under 1t that the court could seize upon to the upsetting of the entire scheme. As for the grandfather" clause, which Louis jana and North Carolina have adopted, no case under it has been beard. Ex- cellent lawyers consider it unconsti- tutional. Excellent judges of the situ- ation consider 1t probable that the Browns and Shirases of the Supreme Court will yet upset the understand ing" clause.
 But even if it should not, there is Congress, ready at all times to rush into any scheme of a partisan nature that will weaken Democratic States and arouse Northern prejudice and sentiment. To build in Alabama on these two hazards is not wise Con- gressman Livingston of Georgia antici- pates an attack upon the apportion- ment of Louisiana, Mississippi, South Carolina and North Carolina, and his State has no desire to become involved in it. q do not think it is best" he says, ito adopt constitutional amend ments relating to franchise. believe the Georgia election law remedies the whole trouble complained of in the South. Any man can vote in Georgia If he is not felon and has paid his taxes. He must register and pay his taxes. The great majority of negroes have only poll tax to pay. A negro can refuse to pay his tax for twenty years and can vote any time by pay ing up. But hundreds of them prefer the dollar to voting. We have no edu- cationai qualification"
 Why should Alabama become the theatre of attack and unrest, either through the Supreme Court or Con- gress, coming out with reduced repre- sentation and much loss of reputation for fair dealing with its weaker race? Why should she do this when a poll tax provision would eliminate corrupt practices and give the State an intel ligent and responsible electorate? The Black Belt should be conservative and reasonable and broad and just. It de. mands too much. It is inviting trouble.

Death of a Patriarch.

Mir. Allen NJ. Holt, the foreman of The Age-Herald's composing rooms, returned home yesterday from Northwestern Texas, whither he was called two weeks ago by the illness of his father, Mr. A. s. Holt, who resided at Chico Unhappily the father died before the son could reach his beside, death coming to him In the morning of May % The deceased MT. Holt was T years and months old. He was born and reared in Giles county, Ten nessee. and removed to Texas six years ago. Surviving him are his wife and ten sons, and nine of the sons attended his funeral, hurrying, as several of them did, from the four points of the compass to pay the last tribute that respect and af- lection can offer in the world.
 Truly did that Southern patriarch live worthily in worthily bringing up ten sons, to bear his honored name in honor Not only his name, but his sturdy character, his integrity, his manilness, survive in the sons. One of the sons is sheriff of Giles county, Tennessee, another is clerk of the Circuit Court there; yet another Is the foreman of The Age-Herald, and the others are honored and respected, thus all of them paying to the just dead that supreme tribute of worthy living.
 MT. Holt was buried in Chico, Tex.

report of the deputy commissioner of customs for 1899 it is stated, with re- gard to the increase of shipping at Han- kow in that year, as compared with 1898, that, among the reasons for this in- crease, may be noted the arrival of ocean steamers with materials for the Han kow-Pekln Railway.
 'In the issue of the Indian Import and Export Trades Journal for February last in an article on the commercial im- portance of Hankow. 1t is stated that of all the towns in the interior of China this Is the one most likely to increase in com mercial importance within the next de- cade. Situated as it is on the Yangtze, 6s0 miles from Shanghai it holds the in- portant position of being at the head of that portion of the Yangtze which Is na- vigable for vessels drawing up to 10 feet all the year round and for ocean-going vessels drawing 30 feet during the flood seasons (May to October). It is also at the mouth of the Han river a very inn portant trade route for Chinese junks; and what Is more important the rail- ways from PelSin to the north, and Can ton to the south, are to have their ter mini at Hankow Hankow is, from commercial point of view, and from that of the foreigner the most important place of the three towns-Wuchang, Hanyang and Hanl1ow-situated on the Yangtze close to each other but separated by that river and the Han river. It's chief man. ufacture Is brick tea. The process, brief ly described, is simply grinding the dried tea to powder cleaning 1t, and compress ing it by hydraulic or steam power into bricks of about half an inch in thickness and seven to nine inches width and length. These bricks are almost all ex- ported to Russian territory. There are also several works for the manufactured of albumen from the white of eggs One factory will use as many as three million eggs a month. The demand has caused the Chinese to trade largely in eggs. All the principal "hongs," as foreign business houses are called, are in the British con- cession, with the exception of two Ger man ones in their own concession. The Lu-Han Railway will, when completed, join Hankow with lPekin.

How General Grant Lost His
uHiranoD

Not many Americans know that Hi
ram u. Grant was the eighteenth pres
ident of the United States. Yet it is
true, for "Ulysses Simpson" was never
legally the name of our greatest Gen.
eral. This interesting fact is brought
out by Franklin b. Wiley in the Ladies'
Home Journal for September, in GA
nous People as we do not know them"
The story of how it came about was
told by member of Congress-Thomas
l.. Hamer-who recommended young
Grant as a candidate for West Point in
1889. Mr.. Hamer had long been a
friend of the Grants, but when he came
to make out the application papers for
Ulysses he could not recall the boys
full name. So, deciding that he was
doubtless named for his mothers fam
lily. he wrote it ULYSSES Simpson
Grant" Thus it was recorded in West
Point, and though the attention of the
officials was several times called to the
error they did not feel authorized to
correct it. This name was gradually
adopted, and by it Grant was, and al
ways will be, known. But as to any
record of the birth Of Ulysses Simpson
Grant" that does not exist.
