Mild Sensation Over Proposed
Visit of Cook County
Club.

y mild sensation has been created in
local political circles by the coming to
light of What appears to be Mayor Tay-
Iors refusal to join in an invitation to
the Cook county Democracy to visit this
city 1t will be recalled that Advance
Agent Miller, of the celebrated organi-
zation which is known far and wide as
the 'Tammany of the Windy CITY was
here several weeks ago and arranged for
the club to stop over in Richmond for a
short while on February eth on its way
to the Charleston Exposition.
The Clay Ward Actves Immediately
met and appointed a committee to meet
the distinguished party at the station and
assist in escorting them about the city.
Governor Montague, upon hearing that
Mayor Harrison and his famous club
would stop over here, at once directed
Secretary Ritchic in the name of His
EXcellency to write the secretary of the
club expressing his delight at the pro-
posed visit, and to say that he would do
all in his power to make their stay in
the city pleasant
Captain C. w. WeStbury district pas
senSer agent of the Southern Railway
accompanied Mr.. Miller to see City Chair
man Doherty. and Mayor Taylor is un--
derstood to have been approached at the
same time and requested to take action
similar to that of Governor Montague
Chairman Dohcrty did not write. neither
did Mayor Taylor, according to the story.
The former said yesterday that he had
no authority to act for the COMMITTEES,
was NOT the proper body to entertain
club When Mayor TAYLOR was seen, he
said: SEQ Mr.. DolIerty and he will tell
you all about it." When Mr.. poherty
was seen in regard to Mayor Taylors po-
sitior, he admitted that His Honor had
rot written a letter, and that he had de-
clined to do so. He did not care to go
into the Mayors reasons for defining to
write but he expressed the belief that
His Honor did not wisil to put the city
to the expense of entertaining. the Sisi-
tors. From another and thoroughly re-
liable source it was learned that Captain
Westbury and Mr.. Miller had made it
plain to all that the club was travelling
in private cars at its own expense. and
that no entertainment was expected at
the hands of Richmond people further
than to meet and welcome the party at
the station and show them about the
city. Mr.. Doherty, whom Mayor TAYLOR
desi gnated ass his spokesman on the sub
ject, said His Honor was willing TO go
this far. but the latter could not be in
duced to say SO for himself when seen
in his office on yesterday and asked con-
cerning it.
The club will probably remain :. da:
or two in the city, If the members still
contemplate stopping here after the May
or's deelinations to join in the invitation.
The club is. one of the most famous of
its kind IN the country, and has upcn its
rolls many of the most distinguished
Democratic laarterS In Chicago.

The Economical Mule.

The mule Is ready to begin work two
or three years earlier than the horse.
lie can be put to pretty heavy pulling
when he is three years old. ana from
that time until he Is forty, IL he has
fair treatment and does not meet with
an accident he is not likely to lose any
time. He is not subject to the many
ailments to which the horse Is VIC
tim. at least not to any great degree.
He lives about twice as long, and his
actual period of usefulness Is nearly
three times as long, for the horse is
really not fit for heavy service until he
is five years old or after he Is twenty,
while mule will often do good service
for forty years, and they have been
known to work fifty, according to one
writer, without being turned out at
any time during all that long period.
Like the ass, the mule will live upon
next to nothing. and during all his for
ty years of hard service Il mule will
not require-and generally does not get
half the feed necessary to sustain a
horse during his much shorter period
of usefulness.

where AIImpice Grows.

The island of Jamaica produces about
oil the allspice that is used. 1t Is known
also as pimento. or Jamaica pepper. The
tree on which the berries grow Is ever
green, and the flowers grow in dense
clusters. These develop into small
green aromatic berries, the size of black
pepper If allowed to ripen, they be
come pulpy and lose some Of their pun
gency. For commercial purposes the
berries are gathered when green. care
fully dried in the sun and afterward
packed in bags holding 160 to 1S0
pounds and shipped. Pimento trees
grow In many parts OF tropical Amer
lea, but nowhere do they thrive as In
Jamaica. The trees are never planted
by man and receive no cultivation
worthy of the name The seeds are
dropped by the birds, and the rains and
the tropical sun do the rest. Surplus
trees are cut down and become walking
sticks and umbrella handles This spice
Is more mild and innocent than most
other spices. -
