PERSONAL.

For some months the italian her
aldic Office has been overhauling
the rolls of nobility and every claim
of hereditary rank has been carefully
scrutiniZed by experts. The result
has been a great slaughter of titles, a
large number of counts, marquises and
even princes having received notice
that they are merely commoners. The
entire "black" nobility-those which
owe their rank to the popes-have
been struck from the lists; likewise
the large number created by the kings
of Naples. Another class which suf-
fered is that which owed rank to the
deposed and fugitive Bourbon SOW
ereigns, whose titles are now legally
extinct.
"A tramp suffering from a frac-
tured arm was found lying on side
walk in Newark, N. j., the other day
and taken to the hospital, where he
was recognized as Chester Wolverton,
once a member of the state legisla-
cure and a leading lawyer. In 1887
Leon Albeit was Democratic caucus
candidate for United States senator
against William ]. Sewell, the Repub-
lican nominee At the critical mo-
ment Wolverton and another Demo
cratic member bolted and started the
movement which elected Rufus Blod-
gett. Wolverton lost most of his
friends and all his law practice as
result of his detection and finally
drifted into his present pitiable con-
dition.

Could Furnish the Singer

The extent to which the agricultural
portions of the Middle West are now
supplied with modern convenience, says
the New York Tribune, may be in
ferred from the story which follows:
There came a ring at the telephone
in a farm house in Northern Indiana
one day last summer, and the farmer
himself responded.
"Hello!" he said.
"Hello!" said the voice at the other
end of the wire. Can you furnish me
a bass singer for tomorrow night?"
"A bass singer? Why, yes, l reckon
So" answered the farmer, laughing.
What do you want one for?"
Because the one we've had up to
now is sick. What would be your
terms?'
well, / usually furnish EN- by the
dozen. 1 won't charge you anything
for one, How do you want him sent?"
What are you talking about?"
who do you think you're talkin'
to?"

House?"

THE WHEELER INCIDENr.

Somebody must have made a mis-
take about Gen. Wheeler having been
treated with discourtesy at the recent
reunion at New Orleans and about his
having appeared in the parade dressed
in federal uniform. The Memphis Com
mercial-Appeal deals with the matter
in its leading editorial Of Thursday

OUTLOOK FOR THE COTTON CROP.

From now until the next crop of cot
ton is gathered there will be specula-
ton in regard to the cotton acreage
the affect of the weather upon the crop
and the number of bales there will be
in the total output. Just now there is
much speculation as to the acreage and
the stand.
Latham, Alexander G. Co., sent out
a letter on May 81, in which they give
the result of their inquiries of more
than 5000 correspondents in all parts
of the cotton belt in regard to acreage
and stand. While information gather
ed in that way is of considerable value
it is not wholly reliable for the reason
that only a percentage of the corre-
spondents take the trouble to cover
carefully the district assigned to them.
They get a report from one part of
the district and let that answer for
the entire district when, as a matter
of fact, conditions in other parts are
wholly different.
According to the findings of Latham,
Alexander & Co., there is an increase
~ tiC NOtAOh dCISdSS over IdSI year
of 2.72 per cent, or about 7S7,S7S acres.
OF course these figures apply only TO
this country. The average planting
is about fifteen days later than last
year. In many localities. owing to the
wet weather, replanting was necessary
| Until within the last two weeks wealth
er conditions were not favorable to
! growth of the plant, but now the out
look is much more promising. The
warm weather of the last half of this
month has had an extremely beneficial
effect on cotton.
1t seems to be admitted, however
that the crop is not as promising in
any part of the cotton belt as 1t was
at this time last year, and If it is fif-
teen days late the danger that it will
be cut short by frost win be that much
greater. Extremely favorable wealth
err, however, from now until the plant
natures may force the crop ahead
to such an extent that this danger will
not be a factor in the situation of
greater moment than it usually is.

The Heffernan murder, at Ardsley,
near New York, promises to develop
a sensation. Heffernan, a coachman,
was shot at night, while in the pres
ence of young woman named Camp
bell. Circumstantial evidence is said
to point to a millionaire. we'll known
in New York and a member of the
Ardsley Club. The supposition is that
the millionaire thought the Campbell
girl was his own wife and for that
reason shot the coachman.

Already the organ was playing the pro-

But the archbishop came to the res
cue.
Laughing as if it were all the best
joke in the world, he passed the hat
among the bridal party, and in mo-
ment collected $4,000, which he pressed
into the brides hand.
Thus the self-respect of neither was
sacrificed.
OF course, the story leaked out.

body, and the archbishop was more In

says: THE voters of the country,
though less learned than President An
drews, by turning down free silver,
showed that they had better Judgment.
A good many of those who shared
President Andrews error lack the
courage he displays in unreservedly
admitting it."

says: "A contemporary fears President
Roosevelt will be demanding raise
in salary to defray his travelling ex-
penses. Bless its innocent heart! Why,
il doesn't cost him a cent. He actu-
ally saves living expenses. And yet
some people are so unkind as to hint
that our great corporations have no
souls!"

Beverage of Indiana thinks Of the

Beveridge would, in all probability, like
to have Bailey out of the Senate. The
Texan is altogether too pugnacious TO
suit the ideas of the gentleman from
Hoosierdom. and if he were removed
Beverage would be able to incubate
speeches with more freedom. Never
