[4OyaI Sport.

Madrid, May 22.-The royal bull
fight, which is the most typcally
Spanish feature of the festivities in
connection with the crOwning of the
king, occurred yesterday in the pres
ence of the king, the queen mother,
the royal family the Spanish mobiles
and the special ENJOYS. Many ladies
were also present. An interesting
feature of the bullfight was the re-
vival of the old medieval custom un-
der which the scions of noble families
fought the bulls with lances from
horseback. Three bulls were killed in
this manner. The most renowned
bull fighters in Spain took part in
NeSter1aX's fight.

the executive departments here in
the city of Washington. Now, has
the gentleman's committee cOnsid-
cred the question of reducing the
sick leave, or cutting it away alto
gethcr, as a privilege granted to the
executive employees in Washington?
] rather hoped he would do that so
there would be some means of equal
ization of the privileges of vacation
of all employees throughout the
United States.
Mr.. Hemenway-I want to call the
gentleman's attention to this fact,
that there is no law giving TO the
clerks of the departments in Wash
ington 80 days sick leave. The heads
of departments may give them that
leave if they 50 desire, but there is
no law requiring it. On the other
hand, the law requires that limited
leave be granted for department
clerks outside of Washington. In
1890 Is days were given to the clerks
and employees in first and second
class post Offices, and to the employees
of the bureau of engraving and print
ing, which was extended in 1896 t.
compositors and pressmen in the au-
Giting division of that bureau.

Two fIea Killed.

Easton, Pa, May 24.-Two men
were killed and many men and wo-
men injured in a trolley wreck a few
miles beyond Easton on Thursday
night. The dead Edward Commo-

Easton. An Easton and Nazareth
car left this city shortly before mid
night carrying 50 passengers. On n
steep hill in Palmer township. the
brake refused to work and the car
ran away, descending the incline at a
terrific rate of speed. At the foot OF
the hill there is sharp curve. Here
the car jumped the track and tearing
loose from the trucks fell on It's side

erage sick leave is only a fraction
over three days.
This debate was prolonged; but
sufficient is here quoted to show the
facts, and the animus of Mr.. Robin
son. Later in the day he announced
that he had prepared and would in
troduce a bill cutting off the sick
leaves of employees of the govern
ment. His attack upon the clerks
has caused a great deal of consterna-
ton AMONG the civil service employees
of the government. Not less than
| $4,000 people depend upon govern
ment employment for bread and but
! ter.
The readers of this column of cor
respondence have been informed from
| time to time of the facts showing that
| government clerks receive larger sal
| aries for less hours of work than any
! other class of people in our country.
| They who succeed in securing employ
! ment in the civil service are exceeding
! ly fortunate. But, while it is true that
they are fortunate in their environ
ments, and while it is further true
]
! that a ma aiority of them do not realize
! that they are to be envied, it does not
not follow that they are oiHhoheSt nor
! dishonoraple. 1here Is no reason WHY
Mr.. ROBINSON OF lhGlaha' OF any oIher
| man IN congress should attack thelr
| integrity and assume that they are
class of malingerers.
There are clerks VINO absent them-
selves from their desks ana Sehd Woru

AS a general rule When clerks report
themselves lndlSposeu they are teIIlng

1T Is customary for the executive de-
partments to permit clerks to have 30
days OF sick leave every year without
deducting their pay Tor absence ms
IS merely humane. but the integrity
of clerks Is manifested when Mr.
HemenWay PuDlcIy reports that so
Few clerks report themselves SICK that
in all OF the executive departments the
average sick leave Is only traction

thousands OF clerks never take any
SICK leave at an Whlie other lhousahds
take only such leave as they are ent1-
tied to, on account OF impaired health.
The writer knows OF hNe lndlVldual
cases in which good clerks after nav
ing been absent SICK TOT 81 Gays were
required to resign their positions on
account of continued sickness. This
was great hardship to lose an in
come when illness required the ex-
pense of medical attendance and med
zeal skill. In each case the depart
ments held their positions for them,

Decorah to Corover yesterday and

THE FIGHT ON SKATER OPPONENTS WILL ATTACK HIS
 ANNUAL REPORT. It is Expected to Contain Full State ment of the Strike of the Amal- gamated Association in
 1901.

Wheeling. ". va.. April 19.-Only brief morning session of the Convention of the Amalgamated Association was held today. The annual reports of Secretary Treasurer John Williams. and of Ben Davis, managing editor of The Amalga mated Journal. the organ of the Associ alton. were submitted to the Committed on Officers Reports.
 .T The report of the Secretary showed thu Association to be in very good condition financially.
 The report of President Shaffer which will enter on a detailed history Of the strike of 1901 will be submitted to the As sociation Monday. and it is expected tc precipitate a fierce discussion. After il has been acted upon by the Committed on Reports of Officers. The opponents oi Shaffer intend to make their fight on his report and their strength will be shown then for the first time since the conven- ton began. -
 A resolution was passed favoring the securing of better conditions for mail carriers throughout the country. Early in the week 1t is expected that the re- porf of the wage scale committee Will be received. Sentiment now seems to favor the ratification of the agreements enter ed into with the Republic. American Tin Plate, American Sheet Steel and Ameri- can Hoop companies by the executive of- ficers and action along this line will largely clear the future of any strike clouds.

MOST NOSES TO THE RIGHT.
The Probable Cause of This Curious
 Nasal Bias.

 Very few peoples noses are set prop eriy upon their faces. Any observant per- son who will go along the street and | take notice of the nasal organs of the passers-by may easily convince himself | on the subject. Not one individual in a hundred, whether man or woman, ia | above criticism as to the arrangement | It is not that most peoples noses are not sufficiently we'll shaped. Whatever | may be thought of the Chinese nose. or the African, or the Filipino the average symmetrical. But. unfortunately. what ever It's form may be--whether pure Greek, or Hebraic, or Roman. or plain snub-it Is nearly always set crooked on
 One might think that nature is little careless about this matter. When the nose turns off at an angie, instead Of assuming ta ,ana its just and proper attitude. to give disordered effect to the features as whole. But, if Nature really does care which way nose points. there ought to be as many noses turned one way as are turned the other.
 But is this the case? Not a bit of it. As you walk down the street look at the people as they go by. and you will dis cover that the noses of % out of every 100 turn to the right. When once yo,r have begun to notice this fact 1t will constantly attract your attention In truth. the objection to starting in ,Ipon a study Of his kind is that you cannot get away from it afterward. It haunts you steadily and consistently. Whenever you meet friend you look at his nose. to make sure whether it turns to the right or not
 Some folk there are, indeed who seen, puilt on bias-individuals whose eyes siant at an agle, or even at different angles. whose mouths in the very ex- pansion or smile twist downward to a sneer-persons warped from birth or ny naDit to perversity; with such it is the business of the criminologist to deal. But Tor the vast majority of plain people some simpler explanation must exist
 NOW. the phenomenon being as de- scribed, what is the reason behind its Why should nearly everybody's nose turn to the right rather than to the left. There seems to be only one way to ac- count for 1t. and that Is that almost ev- erybody Is right-handed, and uses his handkerchief correspondingly So. from lnfancy to old age the nose in the pro- cess of being blown and wiped, Is her. sistently tweaked to the right. Hence as the infant passes through childhood and later youth-when the nasal organ ig malleable and in process of formation. so to speakit Is obliged gradually Inf surely to assume an, inclination 10 the right 'e If this theory be correct the noses oe ieIt-handed persons ought to turn cus- tomar1ly to the left. Such, in fact. ap- pears 10 be the case; but data on this in- teresting branch of the question are not "~s

GREENSBORO.

Greensboro, April 1s.-(Speciaa)- 1.-TWO of the most delightful social events of the entire season occurred the past week. Misses Annie and Edith Cobbs. two emi- nently popular brides-to-be, gave their friends a charming farewell in the form of a garden party at their home, "Contentmelt," Thursday afternoon. De- licious refreshments were served. Fifty guests. who in pretty spring gowns seat ed at tables on the lawn among the roses. made very attractive picture.
 Friday night the Opera House was files with a merry throng. the occasion being q cotillon given in compliment to Miss Kenneick of Norfolk. Va, by Messrs. Robert Evins and J. A. Blunt. Dr. Alex Sledge led with Miss Eennefick. Twenty five couples participated and many inter- ested spectators viewed the dancers from the dress circle. An elegant repast was served and the hosts of the evening scored a grand success.
 Cards are out for the marriage of Miss Edith Manson Cobbs and Mir. Armistead Inge Selden. Thursday evening, April 3l. at o'clock St. Paurs Church.

DROWNED IN CHATTAHooCHEE Richard Ellis, A Negro, Loses His
 Life Near Eufaula.

Eufaula, April 19.-(Special. )-Richard Ellis, a well-known negro. was drowned fin the Chatta hoochee River, two miles above the wharf. this afternoon. Jake Bowers with Masters Fred Mabry and Bud Crawford engaged the negro to row them up the river on fishing expedi- tion.
 The negro attempted to row around a tree that was projecting in the water. The boat came near capsizing when Bow CTS seized the two boys and grabbed the limbs, barely escaping. The negro also saved himself in this way. but seeing his boat drifting down stream, sprang into the water to rescue 1t. and has not since been seen. The current was very swift and the supposition is that the boat, which was half filled with water. sank before the negro reached 1t, and he was too much fatigued to swim to the bank
 Rev. J. B. Jester preached his last ser- mon at the First Baptist Church Friday night and the revival meeting will close tomorrow. pr. Wharton, assisted by Revs. F. L. Hill and J. A.

CHARGED WITH MURDER
 & Young Negro Who Killed Another Will Be Tried Tuesday.

John Henry Loveless, the young ne- gro who shot and killed Virgil Hamilton in a pistol duel on Jackson Street Friday night was transferred yesterday iron police headquarters to the County jail.
 Deputy Sheriff Boiling Young went be- fore Justice B. H. Screws early yesterday morning and swore out a warrant against Loveless charging him with murder. Jus ti.e Screws set the hearing for Tuesday.
 Loveless still declines to make a state ment until he gives evidence in his pre- liminary hearing. He asserts that he did the killing in self-defense and says noth' ing further. l
 Loveless. when he was arrested Friday night. had on his body a bad bruise where a bullet struck after it had been turned aside by a button. There was also a bullet hole through his clothing.
 On the other hand the friends of Ham ilton who was well known negro plas- terer assert that the trouble was an old affair. and they claim that once before Loveless had raised quarrel with the dead negro. There were three eye-wit- nesses to the fatal duel who will give evidence at the hearing Tuesday.

GUANTANAMO SELECTED.
It Will Be the United States Only
 Naval Station in Cuba.

Washington, April 1A-Although this governme will not enter upon negotia- tions for concessions upon which to es- tablish naval and coaling stations in Cuba until after that government is formally launched, it is stated at the Navy De- partment that Guantanamo already has heen selected for the site of the single na- val station which will be established in the island. Notwithstanding the firmly expressed opinion of Admiral Bradford that Havana Harbor offers the only real ly suitable and desirable facilities for a naval station in the West Indies. 1t would appe ar that this government is to yield to Cuban national pride in this matter and have neither coaling nor a naval station at Havana. There probably will he only two cosling stations, one at Nipe Bay and the other at Cienfuegos.

 Speaking about the action of the City Council at It's meeting held last Monday night. in granting the Western Railway Icy as published in The Advertiser a few days ago, a prominent attorney stated to your correspondent that citizens who are opposed to this grant should study the city charter and the powers confer red on the Council and at the same time get copy of the Southern Reporter. Vol tune 26 page s95. l.. & N. R. R. vs. NJ. J. referred to and that those decisions would interest them.
 . Tn the case above referred to- re- marked your correspondents informant. it Is held that the validity of thls or dinance must depend upon the power and authority conferred upon tho city under It's charter to make the grant in uues- ton. The principle Is well settled in this State that, in the absence of express powers conferred by the Legislature, a municipal corporation has no authority to grant franchise of it's public streets and highways for railroad purposes and uses.'
 ''This would scarcely restrict street rail- ways that have special charters giving them power to build and operate the same"
 This is the opinion of one of Selma's foremost attorneys and throws new light on the question.
