Curious Experience of an Ambassador
Taken OF His Guard

Aa4ASH On AlS OudlO
Speaking Of the curious wa of

the gentleman who figured inf The Incl,
dent was a diplomat Of diEtinctior
and was admired greatly il the cir
cles he moved in. He was son Of
France, and possessed all The suaviW
and elegance of manner characteristic
of the men who represent France at
Washington. This was some time ago.
One morning just before the noon
hour | was leaving the capitol build
ing when I met my friend from
France. We had experienced very
mean spell of weather at Washing
ton. The changes from one temper
ature to another had been sudden and
violent. Grip was very prevalent.
Colds were common. Washington was
filled with husky voices. My French
friend had the rather peculiar habit
Of thinking in French and talking
in English, and it was indicated by a
certain deliberateness in his manner
of speaking. One could tell that he
thought the thing out in his own lam
guage and then translated on his
tongue. There was no stoppage in
his speech, but his articulation was
slow and careful. When ! met him he
had muffiers pulled up around his
ears and he was almost hid in a large
coat, one something like they wear
in the arctic regions. We stopped
and exchanged greeting, and | asked
my friend about has health according
to the CUSTOM. He paused for an in
stant, and II len said, in husky voice:
Tout enrhtume,' but quickly catch
ing himself herolled what he thought
was the English Of it from his tongue.
4 am the whole cold,' he said. Of
course, | could not smile until I got
away from him. He meant to say
just what he had said in French, that
he was all full Of cold. ] told the
story on him afterwards in a very
agreeable company and no man en-
ioyed it more than my distinguished
friend from France"

Resignation.
Davis Wants Eagle to Get off Of the
Board of Commissioners
But Eagle Won't.

The Commercial-Appeal corre-

sotional item:
Coy. Jeff Davis sprung sensation
ia political circles today by requests
ing the resignation of ex. Gov. James
+. Eagle as a member of the State
capitol board. Excluding the original
Letters which was mere request for
the governors S resignation, the CORE
.spondence between the governor and
ex- governor is as follows:
Little Rock, April !.
Hon, JEFF Davis:
Yours Of March 80 calling for my
resignation as a member of the State
capitol commission, reached me toA
day. Replying, permit me to say 7
suppose in justice I may expect YOU
to give me your reasons for making
this demand. I await your reply.
Respectfully,
JAMES p. EAGLE.''
Gov. DAVIS answer was as follows.
Little Rock, April 2, 1902.
my Dear Governor:
II called for your resignation as a
member OF the state capitol commits
sion not because you had voted and
made speeches against me, because
l hold that any man has right in
this free American couptry to speak
and vote for whom he pleases, as /
have accorded you. | have always
held you, and do now, in the highest
esteem, socially, morally and reli-
giously, but feel that the tension
there is between you and myself as
to politics would make it unpleasant
for us to work harmoniously together
on the board, as we have always
done, and | again respectfully call
for your resignation, otherwise I
shall have to resort to the power
vested in me to obtain it. With
greatest respect and many wishes
for your success and happiness in life,
! beg to remain yours very respect-
fully,
''JEFE DAVIS, Governor.
Gov. Davis said tonight. "Late
this evening | received long letter
from Gov. Eagle declining to surren-
der his commission, stating as his
reason therefor, substantially, that
he had not opened his mouth against
me, but had declined to vote for me,
He stated thathe made two speeches
one at Lonoke and one at Cabot (both
townships went overwhelmingly for
myself and Gov. Clarke). / had
intended to appoint Mayor Duley in
Gov. Eagle s stead, but if Gov. Eagle
desires, after what has passed and
the tension that exists. between US,
politically, to hold his commission,
he is at liberty to do so, and | wash
my hands Of the entire affair.""

Some time ago the Imperial Chemi-
cal Company was organized in this city
and it began at once to make favoring
extracts and other non -secrect prepare
tons. The extracts are put upon the
market in neat packages and are the
equal in size of any standard prepare
tons. For purity and strength these
home extracts are superior to any sold.
1t has been the desire of the manage
ment to make a piece of goods that
would appeal to the good housewife at
once MS the very best money could buy,
because it was realized that there were
many excellent preparations upon the
market, and to successfully compete
with them better class must be made
To do this no expense has been spared,
and that they have been successful is
evidenced by the demand for these
goods. You will find Imperial Extracts
in every grocery store and also in every
well regulated household. They are
as good as skill can make them and as
cheap as money can buy, and it will
doing your duty by your town to call
for Imperial the next bottle of extract
you purchase and take no other.

The Topographic Mapping of Tennessee,

The Topographic Mapping of Tennessee.
The topographic mapping of Tennes-
see, which has been in progress for sew
eral years, is being continued during
the present season by the United States
Geological Survey. The section to be
surveyed is in the south central portion
of the state, included between ATTITUDES
30 degrees and 30 degrees and 30 min
utes and longitudes 81 degrees and 30
minutes and SO degrees, and embraces
Wayne and part of Lawrence counties.
The map, when completed to be known
as the Mamie quadrangle, will be uni
form in size and detail with those al
ready issued by the survey for Tennes-
nessee, some twenty-five in number,
and will in time be followed by others
until the entire state is surveyed and
mapped. The Topographic work thus
far done in Tennessee is mainly in the
eastern portion of the state. The work
of this season will be conducted by E.
G. Hamilton, assistant topographer,
under the general supervision of To-
pographer Hersey Munroe. Mr.. Nun
roe is at present engaged in the map
ping of the Roam mountain quadrangle
on the extreme eastern border of the
state.

full count. That is manly. If he
should accept the office with these dis

his present position, and then, if the
courts should seat Mr.. Harmon, all
Mr.. Tyler could do would be to drop

HAS THERE BEEN FRAUD 2

1t is not always fool who cries fraud
after an election. Has there been fraud?
Let us see.
In Sullivan county the election COM
missioners threw out the returns from
the tenth district because they had
been sent to the county court clerk in
stead of to the commissioners. This
district gave Harmon a majority of 10.
The commissioners had no more right
to throw out those returns than they
had to murder the man who made the
mistake.
In Claiborne county the returns from
one district were lost in the mails by a
rural mail carrier. The district gave
Harmon so votes, and an affidavit was
made showing this fact and signed by
the officer, judges and clerks who held
the election and sent to the election
commissioners, but they refused to
count the votes.
In Hancock county the returns and
poll lists were stolen outright. That
district gave Harmon 80 majority. Lon
Tyler's brother is one of the election
commissioners in that county. An af-
fidavit was made by all the officers
holding the election in the district in
which the returns are missing setting
up the facts, but the commissioners
refused to count the votes.
In Greene county the returns were
changed in two districts before they
reached the commissioners Of election,
and the officers who held the election
have certified to the original figures.
1t was such palpable fraud that the
election commissioners admitted the
change had been made, but they had
no authority to change the face of the
returns. The alterations put Greene
county in the Tyler column.
If there is no fraud why is it that
only Harmon majorities are missing :?
Why has it taken a week to count
vote that should have been counted
and reported in ten hours ?
There is not man in the district
with intelligence enough to cast vote
who does not believe that there has
been a systematic attempt to defraud
Mr.. Harmon of the votes cast for him
by the people. Something was being

Business is Good at Johnson City.

at johnson City, was a guest of the
Cumberland hotel last night. Mr. Fri
beIg's business is one of the largest

Johnson City in business since 1890,
and has proved his firm to be one OF
the best stayers in the country. 1t
passed through the terrible panic of
1898, and has steadily grown all the
time since.
Business in general merchandise, !"
says Mr.. Friberg, sis the best it has
ever been in johnson City. 1t has
been on the increase for some time.
The general prosperity of the country
has not only struck us, but the local
conditions have been bettered by the
building of the Soldiers Home, and the
work On the new railroads. I think
Johnson City has about the best future
of any of the East Tennessee towns. -

"BOb" Taylor May Move to Nashville,

Ex-Gov. Robert l.. Taylor will more
than likely come to Nashville to live,
and it is understood among his friends
that that is one of the chief objects of
his visit to the capital city just now.
In fact, he says he is here on personal
business. His home at present is at
Knoxville, and the understanding is
that he prefers the school advantages
which may be enjoyed by his children
here.
Gov. Taylor is registered at the Max
well House, but today was among the

quarters, and when seen there by re-
porter for the Nashville News and asked
