Speaker few days ago II was when
he was about to ascend the marble
rostrum and sit in hts nicely uphol-
stored chair for the days session. 1T
was this little brass track on which
my chair rests"
After consulting with the superin-
tendent OF the Capitol. Mr.. Elliott
Woods, the Speaker was able to
have this idea carried into ex-
ecution. 1t is a simple device, but new
ertheless most convenient In moving a
heavy chair back and forth, as the
occupant becomes restless from hong
sitting there. The speaker did not want
D swivel chair at his desk but the four
legs of the one he occupies moves
noiselessly and easily back and forth.

There has been soma rivalry between
North and South to produce the con-
stituent who has held Office for the
longest term of years. Representative
Capron of Rhode Island, a great Joker,
started the fun by proclaiming that
Hon. Halsey Perry Clark of Richmond,
r. l., was the oldest Office holder, of
continuous service in this broad land.
In June, 1852. Mr.. Clark was elected
as clerk of the town OF Richmond, and
he has held the office ever since

from trip to. Tarheeldom. where he
waited to get the figures before pro-
claiming that he had the Oldest con-
stituent In the point of continuous

ty. Mr.. Laws has had to go before the
people for the prolongation of his ten

has Clerk Clark, of Richmond, r. l.,
but he has always had a majority. "a

combination against him, but he won

PUGILISTS IN GOOD TRIM.

NoAsA' sullivan and McMurray Reach
ed savannah Yesterday.
Al McMurray, matchmaker of the
Savannah Athletic Club, Tommy Feltz,
the bantam weight pugilist, and Twin
Sullivan. welter-weight, reached Sa-
vannah last night on the City of Mem
phis, all in good shape for the coming
bouts under the auspices of the Sa-
vannah Athletic Club, in which Feltz
and Sullivan are to take part this
month.
AS has been formerly announced Feltz
is to meet Andy Daley in a 20-round
bout to be pulled off Friday night. The
bout is to be at 122 pounds, the feath-
erweight limit. weigh-in on the after
noon of the go" and will be govern
ed by straight Queensberry rules. =. 1t
Will be preceded by a preliminary be-
tween men yet to. be selected.
Sullivan is matched to meet Owen
H. Zeigler June q. This bout will be
at l47 pounds, for twenty rounds, and
also under straight Queensberry rules
Ana this, too, will be preceded by a
preliminary.
All of the men interested are in
good shape through having recently
taken part in bouts in different parts
of the country. Such training as they
need can easily be secured within the
next few days. Sullivan and Feltz
will train in the city. at the quarters
of the Athletic Club, while Zeigler and
Daley will do their work at Thunder
bolt. This work will be begun to-day.
While these bouts are the only ones
for which dates have already been
made, number of other matches will
be pulled off later. One of these will
be between Feltz and Kid Goodman,
whom Feltz was to have fought in
Boston, and another will be between
Jack Bennett and the winner of the
Zeigler-Sulli bout. Zeigler, who is
in better shape than he has been in
years, is so confident of getting each
of these matches that he has al
ready asked for "go" with RUDE
Ferns. Should he prove the winner
that he expects to, it is more than
probable that the Savannah Athletic
Club will endeavor to get the Kansan
to Savannah.
The club is still trying to arrange
/ for the open air show in the Coliseum
and hopes to have something definite
about the matter within the next few
days. Should the Coliseum be secured.
the club will arrange the most attrac-
tive programme of fistic events that
has ever been given at any one show
in Savannah and probably in the state.

TURNED.

The worm will turn. and the worm has turned. Day before yesterday at Cannelton, Indiana. a baseball umpire shot and, it is thought. fatally wounded a player. The player didn't like the de- cision of the umpire, and from quarrel ing over it he and the umpire got to fighting. Then the umpire drew his pistol and shot the player.
 Just what provocation the umpire had for his action doth not appear, He may have acted in self defense, or he may have been unable to keep his temper under the words and the blows that were showered upon him. Anyhow, his action is evidence that it may be dan gerous to treat an umpire with entire disregard of the fact that he is also a human being. The fact that this um- pire had a pistol handy showed that he realized what might happen to him, and the player who attacked him evidently | didn't realize the situation. It is an un- fortunate episode in the history of a glorious game but the wonder is that there are not more such episodes. Poor but dishonest umpires, hot and unfair players and agitated onlookers are all too common, and that they do not make more serious trouble than they do is surprising.

The Book Ruyer,
A JAPANESE HERO

l recall to mind story of an officer in the Japanese emperor's army which was besieging a fortress. It's number was small and a relieving army was coming up. It was of immense mo- ment that they should known how long the fortress could hold out. If it must capitulate for want of supplies within a week they could stay and win the campaign for the emperor. A young Japanese nObleman volunteered to go into the fortess and ascertain how long it could hold out. He disguished himself. and in passing leaned that it had food and water for only two days more.
 AS he was going out with this pre- cious information he was detected, and the enemy said to him. We are going to cruelty you. but we will let you off on one condition--that you go to the wall and tell your people that we have supplies for week"
 He said, "Very we'll" and went to the wall His wife and children in the besiegers camp saw him, his friends were there also, and he held up both his hands and said to them: There are supplies for but two days. Con- tinue the siege and you will take the place"
 He died by a hundred spears points, but he had done his duty to his general. Sir Edward Arnold.

0IrT OF ONE CLAY

Many years ago, before the days of railroads a nobleman and his wife, with their infant, were travelling across Salisbury plain. As the story is told in MT. A. P. Russell's Characteristics y they were overtaken by a severe storm and took refuge in lone shipherd' s hut.
 The child had taken cold before they could find sheltor and the nurse began at once to undress it by the warm cot tage fire. As she pulled off one rich silken garment after another the shepherd and his wife looked on ill awed silence.
 At last the process of undressing was completed and the little naked baby was being warmed by the fire. There it sat. with all it's splendid outer husks reeled off it's little body beginning to glow in the hut by the fire. The shep- herd drew a long breath and exclaimed "Why, it's just like one of ours."
