The case of the jury having been
supplied with beer and other liquors is
of course made the most of by the
lawyers for the defense in the Ferris
case. There is much to be said pro and
con in such a matter, but there is no
necessity to charge jurors with being
unfit for duty because they drank one
or two glasses of beer. All this kind
of defence and inuendo will be swept
away when the world gets wiser, and
is less opinionated. AT the present
time self-opinion runs very rampant.

We have been getting gold from the
borders of the Arctic circle, and now
we are going to have coal from within
the circle. A company has been form
ed to mine for coal in spitzbergen. The
coal deposits are large and easily
worked, and the coal will be able to
be delivered to the water side at about
$3.50 ton. Fancy heating houses with
coal from the frozen north. The idea
is certainly unique one. There is

Ocean and its many Islands.

 Railroads Sell Passes.
 do not know that the railroads of Switzerland could be acquired by any trust, but they are certainly profitable. In 1900 they paid a net profit of over S11, ,O00, 600, and their travel Is increasing every year. Only four years ago the Government decided to buy them and the transfer of the lines from private par ties to the state is now under way.s The roads, including the tramways,, have length of about 2,500 miles, and there are so many rack and cable lines running up the sides of the mountains to give access to the beautiful views that Mark Twain says, Every Alp has now a ladder up It's back like a pair of suspenders.
 One of the incest things of the Govern ment railway system is its general sea- son tickets or passes, which include all Switzerland. The railroad companies will sell you a ticket for two weeks. . month, a quarter or a year which you can use for that time on all the railroads and steamboats of Switzerland. These tickets are sold at fixed prices. and they have to be ordered at least two hours be- fore leaving time. You must furnish an unmounted photograph of yourself, which is pasted on the ticket.
 A two weeks ticket over all the Swiss roads costs according to class, from TS0 to $l2 and a monthly ticket from $l0 to s20. If you travel thrd-class the price Is S1O second-c class. s1S, or first-class, go For three months the rates are s2s, s3l and s4S, and for the year, $60. ssa and $12O.

Advance On and Battle of Nashville.

After burying our dead We took a last farewell of our loved commander, Major s. l.. Knox, marched about two miles up Big Harpeth River and encamped for the night. Next morning we crossed the river, swung around to our left, and struck the Nashville pike about four miles above Franklin.
 About 9 a. m, December 3, we came in view of the enemy, entrenched on a range of hills extending across the Hills borough and Franklin bikes, and about three miles south of Nashville. The po- sition of the Confederates on the left of the Franklin pike occupied by our Stew art'sJ corps was a valley bounded on the north, west and south by a range of high hills. and on the east by the Frank lin pike forming a rectangle about one and a half miles north and south, and three fourths of a mile east and west Driving back the enemys skirmishers we entrenched at the foot of the hill about 200 yards below the position of the enemy. and facing north, At the western extremity of our line we constructed redoubt which our regiment occupied a few days. and then turned over to the defense of barefooted men, moving back a quarter of a mile into the valley. We all knew from the activity of railroads and steamers in Nashville that the enemy was receiving heavy endorsements Our men were daily occupied in strength ening our works, the weather was in- tensely cold, snow several inches deep covered the frozen. ground. and about one-third our men without shoes, were going about with their feet wrapped with

It was nearly day when the enemy's pickets fired their last gun, and hast ened to join their army, then retreating up the Nashville pike, beyond Big Har- peth River. It seldom happens in any battle that the ratio of killed to wounded is so great as was in this, and the req son Is plain. It being night, no flag of truce could be obtained for the removal of the wounded As the enemy swept the field in front until a late hour at night every wounded soldier not able to carry himself from the field, nor reached by litter-bearer, was shot to death where he fell. Many of the 1st Alabama were mangled beyond recognition, and could be identified only by their clothing. Sam Chappell of Company G, a youth of IS, was an example. whose body had been pierced by seventeen minnie balls. Viewed next morning by daylight, the space be- tween the outer and inner lines to the right of the pike was heartrendng. General Hood is said to have wept when he beheld it. The bodies of our dead (for there were no wounded on the field next morning. lay1thfcker and thicker as you got from the outer to the inner line, and in, the ditches they were literally banked up three or four men deep. The immense ditch in front of the redouot was nearly full of our dead. There were also many lying along the top of the br r,astworks
 and some eeven within the enemy's lines While. the loss, of men was great, that of officers was much greater, owing to their reckless expesdre. Among the killed, were: Maj. Gen. Oreourne and Brig Gems. Gist. Adams. Strahl and Cranberry Among the wounded were Major General Brown and Bfigadier Generals Custer, Manigault. Quarles. cockerell and Scott:
 I shall not pause to refute the absurd story that General Hood next morning spoke disparagingy of the conduct of his army at the battle of Franklin Gen. eral Hood was incapable either of false hood or impropriety.

Captain Richard Williams who is re- ferred to. in this installment of sketch of 1st Alabama regiment, as acting Lieuten- ant Colonel of that regiment at the ter rife battle of Franklin Tenn, was one of the most heroic soldiers of the Con federacy. He had many thrilling ex- perienceS by land and by water and in foreign countries during the period of his military service. He was first lieutenait of the Clayton Guards, in the first year of the war and at end of the twelve months at it's re-organiza tion he was made captain. From first to last his company was part of the 1st Alabama regiment
 The history of the regiment as published shows what service it performed. When it was captured at Island No. 10, in the Mississippi river he risked his life to escape. Enough men got away to form small battalion of three companies and hc was placed in command of one of Corinth and other points until the regi- ment was exchanged and ordered to Port Hudson, where he and his command re- joined them During the seise of Port Hudson he exhibited a degree of courage that recalled the vaior of the knights of old. The works at the point where his company was stationed were rather weak, and the enemy seemed to know that fact. As they dashed their numbers and might at that point Captain Williams sprang upon the works and fired his pistol in their faces as long as he had a charge; and when the pistol was empty he drew his sword and still stood, the very em- bodiment of matchless daring. The scene sent an unspeakable thrill through the Confederate ranks, and, with one impulse,

men, but of men with springs in their shoes. Two divisions of Cheatham' s corps from the right were thrown across the enemy's advance, and held him at bay until night. The behavior of these two divisions, lighting great odds in open field on level ground, and in full view of large part of the army, won the high est admiration of all .t-
 During the night the army fell back about mile. and lines were reformed. Hillsborough pike had been occupied by the enemy, leaving the Franklin pike our only line of communication. The posi- tion of Stewards corps. during the second days battle extended half a mile west from the Franklin pike along a valley to the foot of the range of high hills on our left as we faced north. This range of hills, rising abruptly to a height of POO feet, covered with scrub timber and lodges of rock, continued its course south one-fourth of a mile when dehecting east nearly at right angles, extends to the Franklin pike. this last range being in rear of and parallel to our lines.
 The east part of this rectangle formed by the Franklin pike on the east, our line on the north. and the range of high hills on the west and south. was for est of large timber without undergrowth; the western part. an open old pasture. Bates Division occupied the side and top of the hill on our left. supporting. bat tery of two small guns on top. The position of the regiment was in. trenches behind stone fence fronting a corn field, and about 200 yards east of the foot of the hill. A few days of warm sun shine had melted the snow and thawed

Switzerland Offers an Inviting Field
 for Exploitation on American Methods

Copyright. 1soa, by Frank G. carpenter)
 I heard a striking American invasion
 proposition the other day. Its enunciator was Adolph Frankenthal, our Consul at Berne. He made 1t in jest, but 1t might lead to matters of earnest. It Is that our trust magnates should monopoiize Switz- erland for money making purposes
 Frankenthal says they could turn the country into, sight seeing park and drain the pockets of the worlds traveling pub
 lie. They could buy the water powers and thus concentrate its industries, and by the addition of electricity multiply their output a hundred-fold.
 A Great Tourist Trust.
 Indeed. the tourist business might cas- lily be controlled by trust. and with 1t this enormous hotel industry. which now annually brings in many millions. All that would be necessary would be to buy the best of the hotels which control the most beautiful views, and then to organize a system by which cut-and-dried coupon tickets could be furnished, taking the travellers from his home in Europe or the United States, and returning him there after his tour at a fixed price. He could thus know, to a cent, what his trip was to cost. The tips. which now to duout oo pe. S-i~' Ol ohS Q NN- penses, could be cut of. and the increase in comfort would be enormous.
 This Is the gist of Consul Franken- thals propo sition. Since then 1 have looked further into the matter. and can | give you some facts as to the vast sum | Switzerland Is making out of the for eigners. |
 Fortunes in Swiss Hotels.
 The hotel business in this country is enormous. Switzerland is just twice the size of Massachusetts, but its hotels and boarding houses are crowded into a com pass of less than half it's area. Never theless, it has 1900 hotels. and it Is esti mated that there Is sl20 0.000 invested in the business. The hotels now take in about $30.000,0o0 a year, and a large of this Is profit. About half of them are open all the year round, | and during the summer all are crowded | Travellers to the number of almost S.00o,ooo | swarm into Switzerland from all parts | of the world. They wander about from | hotel to hotel and from one view to an- | other. dropping their money at every | turn. Indeed, the receipts of the hotels | during the good years are more than the | receipts of the Government, and their | army of employees Is larger than our | standing army was at the beginning of | the Spanish American war. There are | about 2s,0oO men and women employed in | them, and of these 12000 are females.

Even In this, extremity the citizens showed us no substantial sympathy, but looked at us askance when we made known our mission, and told them we would pay fancy prices in Con federate money. We got no leather ex- cept what We found concealed, and which the owners let us have out of sheer re- spect for our muskets. Every farm house we visited had its hogs. goats, sheep imprisoned under the house; while horses, mules and cows were penned up in the chimney corner. In Tennessee as in Maryland,

 and yet these people were truly loyal to the South. As previously stated. most of these barefooted men were put in the redoubt on the extreme left.

When General Thomas saw this. he marched his heavy column, already massed opposite the redoubt, quickly drove out the barefooted men, and began descending the hill on the i'm mediate flank and rear of our regiment.

Judge Shiras' Story.

Judge, Shiras has collar button
story which he tells with q great deal Of
gusto. says the Chicago Record
Herald, A man in Pittsburg where
he used TO live, had u wife who was
complaining OF dyspepsia, and she heard
OF u remedy that was put up In cap
sules. Her husband bought a dozen at
drug store, and brought them home
Ia pill box. AT the same time he
bought dozen collar buttons made Of
u metallic composition that looked very
much like pearl and the druggist gave
him q pill box similar TO that In which
the capsules were put up TO carry them
H. He took both boxes home, handed
them to his wife, and the same dry she
began TO take the medicine. After she
had taken twelve doses she was entirely
cured, and advertised the wonderful
remedy all over tho neighborhood
About this time her husband lost his
collar button, and opening his pill box
found II empty, A brief investigation
showed that the capsules In the other
pill box were still there, and that hif
wife had swallowed twelve composition
collar buttons, two day for six days,
and been entirely cured Of dyspepsia.
