That reminds us of another Incl
dent that occurred in the senate
cloak room. Senator Burnsides of
Rhode Island, was such a terrific
and notable snorer that it was said
that when he entered his little state
at night on sleeping car his snor-
ing woke up all of his constituents.
One hot summer day he was asleep
on lounge while on another Judge
David Davis, the ''heavy weight"
senator from illinois, was vainly
attempting to win the favors of
Morpheus, but who could sleep
while BurnsideS snored? Suddenly
after all manner of groaning, grunt-
ing and trunpeting, to which the
saving of gourds was an aeolean
strain, he suddenly gave below,
a whoop and a grunt and lapsed in
to silence. The burly lllinoisan
sprang from his lounge, slapped his
hands and fervently calculated.

FAREWELL LETTER OF MATHIS.

conviction that no respite would be

to his wife on Saturday:

'TEDDY'S INF A
NOUS SPEECH.

The New York Journal after
quoting from President Roosevelt's
infamous Arlington speech says:
This newspaper feels bound to
confess that it sympathizes with
the men and women Of the South
who resent Mr.. Roosevelt's Decora-
tion. Day speech.
The substance of Mr.. RooseveIt's
utterance, as Southerners under
stand it, is practically this:
"You Southerners lynch men
and burn them alive. You ought,
therefore, not to criticise officials in
the Philippines who administer the
water cure, shoot unarmed men
occasionally, but never burn them
alive, except by accident
It is true that in the South human
beings are burned alive. It is also
true that no man regrets more ear
nestly than does the Southener
these horrible demonstrations of
the savage force of human resent
ment.
But it is NOT true that the lynch
ing of the criminal in the South can
be properly classed with the whole
sale torture and execution Of men
and women in the Philippines.

DENICOTINIZED TOBACCO.

A scientist named Gefold, of
Halle, Germany, claims he has dis
covered process for neutralizing
the harmful properties in tobacco
without taking away the flavor so
loved by users of the weed.
Heretofore all processes that have
resulted in the elimination of nico-
tine from tobacco have rendered the
remainder so insipid that smokers
have declined to use it.
Gerold's method, as given in a
recent periodical, is this:
"The leaves are treated with a
solution of tannic acid, which has
the property of fixing alkaloids so
that the nicotine and the essences
contalningin the plant, such as mic
otlanln, ETC., are neutralized and
rendered inofensive. 1t would ap-
pear that this operation does not
cause it to lose its flavor. To renew
the perfume dear to the smoker,
which is injured by the tannin, the
tobacco is then smoked in a pre-
pared decoction of the plant origa-
mum vulgare (wild marjoram.)
These cigars are now sold in Anne
rica, Germany and Russia, and are,
it appears, much liked by smokers,
while they are recommended by
physicians. memphis Scimitar.

The Filipino who defends his
home against the armed force OF
the United States may be a mis-
guided man. We sincerely believe
that he is opposing force which in
the end will benefit his fellows.
But we desire to state, on behalf
OF the South, that the Filipino de-
tending his home, refusing to betray
his comrades to certain death at the
request Of a foreign officer, is a very
different person from the criminal
in the South who has outraged and
murdered helpless girls.
We believe that we do the Presi-
dent of the United States good SER
vice when we seek to impress upon
him the fact that the Southerners
who defend themselves, even vio-
lently, against a horrible danger to
their women, are not criminals.
The murderers whom they treat

HANG
ING POSTPONED

Mathis and Lester did not hang
at Oxford, Gov. Longino having
announced a respite until Septem-
ber 10, in order that the convicted
men may testify at the. trial Of
Whit Owens. It is understood al
so that Owens will have change
of venue and that his next trial
will take place at Holly Springs.
The respite was granted at the So
liciation Of the prosecuting officers.
Owens was tried and convicted
of participation in the murder OF
the Montgomerys, but the Supreme
Court gave him new trial because
Of the admission Of certain testi-
mony, and he is now in Jail at
jackson for safe keeping, the Gov
ernor having feared mob in event
of the reversal. Owens is now
said to have been the murderer Of a
negro whose charred remains were
found in the woods some time pre-
vious to theamurder Of the Federal
officers, and eyewitnesses have
been found who are reody and will
ling to testify against him now that
danger Of retaliation is reduced to a
minimum BY the certainty Of his
conviction and execution in one OF
the other cases against him.

The WEIGHT of Fish.

A Wisconsin lawyer has drafted a
bill which he expects to induce the next
legislature of his state to pass when it
meets again, next winter. The bill pro-
viGcs that every fisherman shall, under
pain and penalty of the law, register
the weight of every fish, caught by him,
that weighed more than a pound. A
force Of registers and deputy registers
is to be established for the purpose.
The hideous object of the bill is appar-
ent; it is to strange one of the most
thriving and popular industries of the
country. We can see every man who
whips the waters of our Maine lakes
and streams gasp with horror at the
thought of such a law being enacted in
this State. The telling of fish stories
has come to be regarded as one of in
alienable rights OF prevaricating man.
ana a law which will abridge this priv
iiege clearly comes under that provis-
ion of the constitution which forbids
cruel and unusual forms of punishment
What fun in telling about your capture
of the biggest and gamiest salmon ever
caught at Sebago, or the largest bass
ever taken from the Belgrade lakes
when there is a possibility that some
skeptiCal listener will go and investi-
gate the matter on the official records
to your great disgrace and embarass-
ment? This Wisconsin gentleman is
plainly a misanthrope, an enemy OF
mankind, a foe to piscatorial pastimes
He and his bill should promptly be
shelved before they do the threatened
mischief
