The Raleigh News and Observer
holds that Senator Tillman, because OF
his free use Of deadhead privileges In
the way of free passes on the re ilroads
and free franks from the telegraph
company, and free transportation from
the express companies. is mo worse or
no better than his colleagues" That
Is a generous view to take OF the mat
ter, but 1t is not correct view, as our
contemporary must admit II 1t will only
recall the fact that it was Senator
Tillman himself who made tn. fight
against the use Of free passes oy any
officer Of the state government In South
Carolina.
The News and Observer says:
Senator Tillman says that members
of congress are loaded down with free
passes The interstate commerce act
forbids free passes under penalty OF
not less than $1,000 and not more than
$4,000 The North Carolina statutes,
which our courts enforce, is a verba-
tim copy Of the United States statutes.
Why Is it that no federal district at
torney takes steps to enforce the Uni

them violates his oath to OBEY the

Some BILL ARP STORIES.
Eli Perkins Gives Sketch Of Tho Great
Humorist.


In the Kings of Platform and Pull
pit" Eli Perkins writes the following
breezy introduction, rehears ng some
interesting stories of Bill Arp in pre-
senting one Of his lectures:
The whole life of Bill Arp has been
humorous and no man will stop work
quicker and more cheerfuliy tllan he to
hear a good joke. When asked him
Yankees, he said:
well, don't want to bos st about
myself. but killed about as many OF
them as they did of me-"
Speaking of pensions one day, Mr..
Arp said every Yankee soldier ought
to have a pension.
But they were not all injur ed In the
army. were they?" I asked.
"Yes, they all did 80 much hard ly-
ing about us poor rebels that they
strained their consciences."
Bill Arp tells Of an occurrence in
New York when he came here to lee
ture in Chickering hall. He said he
was standing on the steps Of the Astor
house one afternoon with friend when
a man with a decidedly militia ry bear
inb hobbled up. He greeted my friend
as he passed.
That's fine soldierly looking
chap" I said.
"Yes; he's a veteran-Colo Jones,
Of the G. A. R."
Did he lose his leg on tie battle
field?"
Yes, at Gettysburg"
"Ah! Repelling Picketts charge,
suppose"
mo; a monument fell on It"
They tell this story in Rome, Ga,
about the major. They say th.t in the
summer Of 1863 Bill Arp wni IN the
Richmond hospital. The llosI ital was
crowded with sick and dying soldiers.
and the Richmond ladies visited it dai-
Iy carrying with them delxc,cies of
every kind, and did all they. could to
cheer and comfort the suffering. On
one occasion a pretty miss OF sixteen
was distributing flowers and i,peaking
gentle words of encourAger lent to
those around her, when she overheard
a soldier exclaim, "Oh, my Lord" 1t
was Bill Arp.
Stepping to his bedside to rebuke
him for his profanity, she re marked:
Didn't hear you call upon the name
of the Lord? I am one Of his daugh-
ters. Is there anything can ask Him
for you?"
Looking up into her bright, sweet
face, Bill replied: II don't know but
you could do something for me II I
wasn't married"
WELL" said she, what Is it?'
~ Raising his eyes to her and extend
ing his hand, he said: "As you are
daughter Of the Lord, II wasn't mar
ried, I'd get, you to ask Hin IL He
wouldn't make me His son-in law"
Major Andrews, a Yankee captain,
was telling some jolly rebs in Georgia
about his experience at Bull Rim.
1.-The only time that I eve' really
felt ashamed in my life was In that
Bull Run battle" said the major.
MY horse fell under me, and I was
obliged to ride an army mule during
the rest Of the engagement, and he
finally carried me clear into tie rebel
lines"
"Yes, I remember the incident we'll"
said Bill Arp, who was standing by,
"I found that mule with a U. 6. brand
on him the next day after the battle"
You did, really?" said the major,
hardly expecting to be corrobor ated 80
promptly. Where did you fine. him?"
asked the major.
BIZ saw that there was no door wide
open as he replied, "stone dead behind
a rail fence"
"Shot?"

f~3HAT afternoon the breeze
swerved round from the
S south. bringing vague threats
Ss of rain. About o'clock Alan.
his uncle and his mother and father
were out In the front yard looking at
the house with view to making some
alterations that had been talked OF for
several years past.
81 never had my way in anything be-
fore" Mrs. Bishop was running ON In
the pleased voice OF happy child,
IAN I'm glad you are goin' to let me
this once. | want the new room to Jut
out on this side from the parior an
have a bay window. an we must cut
a wide foldin' door between the two
rooms. Then the old veranda comes
down, an the new one must have q
double floor. like Colonel Sprague's on
the river, except ours will have round,
white columns instead O. square, II
they do cost trifle more"
"She knows what she wants." said
Bishop, with one Of his infrequent
smiles, "an' reckon we'd save a little
to let her boss the job ef ahe don't
hender the carpenters by too much
talk. l don't want 'em to put in q stick
O. lumber that amt the best"
I'm glad she's going to have her
way" said Alan. "She's wanted bet
ter house for twenty years. and she
deserves it."
81 don't believe in sech fine feath-
ers," said Bishop argumentatively. I'D
leetle ruther wait till we see whether
Wilson's a-goin' to put that road
through. Then we could afford to put
on q dab or two O. style. don't know
but I'd move down to Atlanta an live
alongside O Bill, an wear a clawham-
mer coat an q dickey cravat fer a
change"
'1Then you mought run fer the legis-
latur'," spoke up Abner Daniel. who
had been an amused listener. IAN git
up q law to pen up mad dogs at the
dangerous part O. the yeer. ALT, I've
always thought you'd be a ornament
to the giddy whirl down thar. William
was ever bit as green as you are when
he fust struck the town. But he had
the advantage O. CROWN up an sorter
ripenin' with the place. 1t I'D be hard
on you at yore time O life"
At this juncture Alan called their at
tention to a horseman far down the
road. 1T looks like Ray Miller's mare" ."
he remarked. y'This Is one Of his busy
days. He can't be coming to fish,"
Railroad news. suggested Abner.
"It's a pity you hain't connected by
telegraph"
They were all now sure that 1t was
Miller, and with no little curiosity they
moved nearer the gate.
"By gum. he's been givin' his mare
the LASH" said Abner. 'She's fairly
kivered with froth."
"Hello. young man" Alan called out
as Miller dismounted at hitching post
Just outside the fence and fastened his
bride rein. "Glad to see you. Come
In"
Miller bowed and smiled as he opened
the gate and came forward to shake
hands.
1--WE are certainly glad you came,
Mr.. Miller" said Mrs. Bishop, with all
her quaint cordiality. Ever since that
day in the Office I've wanted chance
to show you how much we appreciate
what you done fer us. Brother Alb will
bear me out when say we speak of
it mighty nigh ever day."
Miller wore an ineXpressible look OF
embarrassment, which he tried to lose
in the act Of shaking hands all round
the group. but his platitudes fell to the
ground. Abner. the closest observer

drawn together us he pondered Miller's
unwonted lack Of ease.

Alan.
mo, didn't" said the lawyer, jerk
ing himself to that subject awkwardly.
"The truth is, | only ran out for little
ride. I've got to get back"
"Then it is business, as brother AID
said," put in Mrs. Bishop tentatively.
Miller lowered his eyes to the ground
and then raised them to Alan's face.
"Yes, it's railroad business" said AD-
ner, his voice vibrant with suspense.

Colonel Dyer Would Thus ouell Trouble at
a Garden Military Show.

Sergeant Edward J. Bourke. Commissioner
Greene's personal aid who has been under suspeH-
sion since the trouble with Adjutant K. A De
Russy OF the 18th Regiment. at the military show
at the Garden Tuesday night, was tried yester-
day at Police Headquarters.
Mr. De Russy admitted that when Sergeant
Rourke attempted to push his way through the
crowd after an accident he put his in front
Of Bourke and endeavored to push him back,
though Bourke said he sergeant.
HE then struck me three blows" continued De
Russy. cutting my upper and lower lips. One blow
landed my neck
Captain William s. Terriberry, assistant
geon in the 18th Regiment. could not say whether
Bourke struck De Russy not and Colonel
George r. Dyer said he blows struck, but
could not tell who struck them.
CoIone! Dyer said that the affair purely
military and not d social function and the police
were expected to look after civilians only In case
Of trouble in the Garden Colonel Dyer said he
would call on the National Guard and not on the
police In fact he said he asked the police not to
do anything at all except keep order among those
in the galleries. Colonel Dyer said that Sergeant
Bourke was most discourteous to him and others.
Sergeant James H. Brooks. of the 18th Regiment,
testified that he saw Bourie hit De Russy three
Bourke at all. Bourke called four prtvateS from
tho e7th Battery. who said they G-dn't see the
sergeant strike De Russy. but that he showed his
shield as soon he approached, and tnat he was
doing his best to keep back the crowd.
Bonrke said that soon the accident
curred and ne had been ordered TO the scene by

the face twice, and that he never struck De Russy
