JEALOUS LOVERS.

The greatest thing in the world is
love- 1t is the most beautiful thing too.
Strangely enough. however, it is apt to
which is jealousy. The green eyed mon
ster's favorite victims are lovers.
No sight is more terrible than the
Jealous rage of lover. The man who
suspects his sweetheart of flirting with
some one else is enduring such pain
that he is hardly responsible for his ac-
lions.
Similarly, the girl who sees that her
fiance is faithless experiences a heart
ache which is little short of maddening
It is sad when such suffering is with
out any real cause. The man or girl
who is a victim of unreasoning jealousy
is to be pitied. The intensity of their
feelings cannot be realized by an out
slider.
True love is trustful, above all things
Sweethearts who trust each other are
never worried with jealousy, nor have
they any need to be- A true lover
never f1irts. He would not be a true
lover if he did. A girl who really loves
her sweetheart can bear to see him
walking or talking with another girl
without the slightest pang. She knows
well that there is only one girl in the
world for him, and that is herself. In
his heart she reigns supreme, just as he
does in hers. Polite and attentive
though he may be to many another
maid, he reserves one thing for her
alone. This one thing is love.

art achievement went, for some years.
But she was not at all idle. During

The collection-twenty-fiv pieces

of Maria Longworth Storer. The de-
signs were hers, too, for certainly none
before her ever originated such strange,
daring schemes of Imagination. Now
they were like a nightmare, now like q

made over into an art pottery. Mrs.

BUSTER FRANKLIN CAUGHT.
Negro Who Escaped from Constable
 Earnest TankrsIy.

Troy, June 6.-(Special b. Considerable excitement was caused today on Court Square in the capture of Buster Franklin, q young negro man, wanted in Montgom- cry County for grand larceny.
 The. Sheriff of this County having seen in the columns of The Advertiser several days ago, an account of the escape of this negro from Earnest Tankersy, an officer of Montgomery County, had been keeping a watch for him. Monday Depu- ty Sheriff Sam Reeves saw the negro in the postoffice mailing a letter. and got into conversation with him. During the conversation he learned that the negro was sending a letter to sister in Mont gomery, but not being satisfied as to his identity wrote to the officers at Mont gomery for further particulars.
 The negro was not seen by the officers any more until today, when Deputy Car roll Nichols passing along the sidewalk near the rear of F. s. Woods furniture store. met him, and engaged him in con- versation. The deputy seeing Constable Freeman on the opposite side of the street called to him. at the same time telling the negro that he would have to arrest him.
 The negro made a dash for liberty, run ming directly into Court Square with the officers in hot pursuit but after he had run quite a distance he looked back and saw officer Nichols gaining ground on him with his pistol drawn and then Franklin stopped Al first he denied that he was the man wanted in Montgomery County but later confessed that they had captured the right man.
 The negro had the finger shot in the scuffe with Officer Tankersly dressed. He was not shot in the heel as reported directly after his escape.

Washington, June 26.-(Special)--A wrong impression has been created by the specials sent out from Washington to the Northern press relative to the views expressed by Southern Congress- men on MT. Clcveland's speech The tenor of many of these dispatches has been that members from the South and West were not only hostile towards tho ex-President for having wrecked the par ty but that they resented any advice coming from him. as to the best way to bring about rehabilitation. This has been an instance where the wish has been fla ther to the thought The South and West have so long maintained the views that were crystalized at the Chicago Convention in 1896, even Tn the face of certain defeat, that the correspondents of the Northern papers believed that the representatives from these sections were incapable of more tolerant views in the present instance.

Exnressions Kindly.

As a matter of fact, there was hardly an expression from the Democratic Sena- tors that was not kindly. Teller of Colo rado, who came into the Democratic fold at the same time that Cleveland Is ac- cused in some quarters of having left 1t, made the most unkindly comments. He said that he had not had time to read MT. Cleveand's platitudes But as MT. Teller was arrayed against the Demo- cratic party during the two terms that MT Cleveland was President, he might, with propriety, have been less forward with his criticism. Daniels of Virginia, who is known rather for his forensic qualifications and his ability as text writer on the law, than for astute party leadership, was, after Teller. perhaps the harshest In pronounclng Judgment against his former party chief, but it was note worthy fact that all the leaders in the upper branch of Congress who have the reputation of being past masters In the art of statesmanship were not only kindly in their references to MT. Cleveland, but praised the wisdom of his remarks. Many of these men, too, explained that they had long entertained personal and politi- cal grievances against him.

Bicycle Thief Caught.

Jesse Cobb, a negro. was tried in po- lice court this morning for the theft of a bicycle about year ago The wheel was stolen off the piazza of a man living fin Selma by Cobb. who took the wheel to Prattville ana sold it to a Mir. Duffy, who travels out of that city. MT. Duffy was at the depot yesterday and having learned the fact some time ago that the wheel that he bought for g was stolen, kept a keen lookout for the negro when he came to Selma. While at the depot yesterday he saw the man, and. going to a telephone. called a policeman and the arrest was made. At the trial this morn ing it developed that the city charge against him was barred by the statute of limitation, but the State can look after his case, So Mayor Mcleod bound him over to await the action of the grand jury in the sum of $2OO. which he failed to make.
