Interesting Facts Relative to the United
States Senator Who Is Soon to-


interesting Facts Relative to the United
States Senator Who Is Soon to.
Speak Here.
Senator Ben Tillman of South Carolina,
who has attracted so much attention in
recent years, and who is to deliver ad
dress in the First Baptist church Friday
evening, is one Of the few farmer states
men in congress. For that reason because
of a physical defect and because, like
Cromwell, he was in middle life before he
entered politics, Senator Tillman has been
called ''the one-eyed Cromwell of the Pal
metto state.' The loss Of his left eye pre-
vented Mr.. Tillman from being a confeder-
ate. soldier. In 1864 he was II years old
and was just preparing to enter the con-
federate army when he was seized with
an illness that deprived him of an eye.
The Tillmans were among the Oldest Of
the planter families of South Carolina. but
the abolition OF slavery and the ravages of
the. civil war ruined them. SO, until 1885,
MIR. 'Tillman worked his farm and read and
stored his mind. In 1886 he issued from
the rural regions to lead an educa tional re-
form. In 1890 he entered politics and led
a revolution against the dominant class in
South Carolina. With the masses back
of him. Tillman won and found himself
governor of the old state. though sur
rounded by the bitterest enemies. r
/, In the four years that he was governor
the famous South Carolina dispensarylaw W
was adopted and colleges for industrial
training of the young men and women
were Started. lsFrom the governorship Mr..
'fillman went to the United States senate
and is now serving his second term in that
body. His mpetuosity has earned him a
reputation as man of strong temper and
indiscreet speech. 1t is chiefly on the
| negro question that Mr.. Tillman flares up
though he had some memorable disputes
with former Senator McLaurn from his
state. But on the negro question there is
no doubt that Senator Tillman voices the
prevailing southern opinion. Senator Till
mans address on The Pace Question
from a Southern Standpoint may help tt
an understanding of the southern attitude

Sir William proposes to erect on this

Tom Miners Bohemian buresuuers. this

the spectator is moved to wonder how
there can be much on the program and
so little OH the stage. The burleSuues
however. bring in view 4 number of pretty

mingled awe and admiration. Snne of the
songs possess real merit, but good voices
are more than usually conspicuous by their
absence.
Grace La Rue and her pickaninnies in

also is above the ordinary. Campbell and

to a satisfactory close.
The treaty is not changed in
any particular from the original
treaty drawn up by Secretary Hay
except in the purchase price for
the right of way. This govern.
nent offered Colombia 500, 900
but she held out for $500, 900. Ne

the sum was finally fixed at $780,

Brain Fatigue Measure Perfected.

Among the curious exhibits
that the Prussian ministry of
public instruction will include in
its educational display at the St.
Louis exposition is an apparatus
for measuring mental fatigue.
1t is called an aesthesiometer and
measures the sensitiveness of
the nerves of the skin, which cor
responds directly to brain fatigue.
The measurement of fatigue dur
ing class room work generally
shows that history makes but a
slight call on the mental power.

exhausting. During the study of
Latin the nerve power is reduced

The figures of the last census
show that the works required to
irrigate 1858, 273 acres cost $6l,-
2S9,6O1, an average Of 1886 per
acre At this rate the expendi-
ture required to reclaim the area
proposed would be at least $780,
100000. After the Government
has performed its part there will
be no delay by the farmers in
carrying on the work. While the
initial expense is enormous, it is
not comparable with the value Of
the crops which will be grown on
the lands reclaimed. The total
cost of all the irrigation works in
use in the country is only three
fourths the value of the crops pro-
duced each year on irrigated
lands.

Some thirty full-blooded Sioux In
dams, headed by Sitting Bull, jr.,
son OF the great war chief. are work
ing as coal shovelers, section men
and graders on construction work, on
the Missouri Valley railroad, east of
Lusk. They all came from the Rose
bud and Pine Ridge agencies and are
at work because the interior depart
ment has ordered the agents to deny
clothing and ration to able. bodied
braves of the tribes. The result of
the order is evidently what the gov
eminent wanted, for there are now
more applicants for positions than
the roads have to give them. 1t is
said that the Indians make pretty
good section men.
