Familiar Character Gone.

On last Sunday evening just as
the sun was sinking behind the
western horizon all that was mortal
Of William Kinchem, an old negro
who has been a familiar character
on the streets of Waxahachie for
several years, was laid TO rest in the
colored peoples cemetery. The
burial was attended by alarge crowd,
in the number being a few white
people for whom the deceased had
worked during his long residence in
the city. The funeral services were
conducted by the pastor of the Afri-
can Methodist church.
Little was known of the past life
OF "Kinch," as he was commonly
known. In fact he could give but
little account of his past history.
He had no record of his age and
could tell no one how old he was,
but from his general appearance he
must have reached close to the cen
fury mark. Kinchem came to Wax
ahachie many years ago and by do
ing odd jobs around town and acting
as a servant for white people he
managed to save money enough to
buy 8 small home. He had no fam
lily and was always considered
a harmless character.

Pulled the Badger.

The first badger fight for the sea-
son was pulled of last night at John
Watson's place of business on East
Franklin street. A large crowd was
present to witness the event and it
is said that the badger was is good
fighting trim. Money was bet liber-
ally and all sorts of odds were offer
ed. Everybody appeared to be
placing money on the fight and for
awhile some difficulty was expert
enced in finding "A man who would
pull the string, the rules Of the fight
fOrbidding any one who bets on the
fight to do the pulling act. Finally
Louis Silver, who recently came
here from New York TO accept a
clerkship in d. Egger's dry goods
establishment, consented To- pull the
string rather than see tho show
broke up. The dog that had been
matched against the badger was
brought in and Mr.. Silver proceeded
to carry out his part OF the program
in a most successful manner and to
the satisfaction Of the crowd

equipped troops on short notice it would
be desirable to bring this organization
into as close touch with national troops
as-possible. This, according to the gen.
eral, will not only give these forces much
greater efficiency but will inspire a far
greater respect for them than they now
enjoy. While the average man would in
no way think of making light or or in
any manner interfering with the federal
troops, il is by no means an uncommon
thing TO hear of militia forces being
harassed in their work by jeering crowds.
The general believes, therefore, that it
would be well to have the militia brought
as close TO the national government as
is possible under the constitution. His
letter. which follows. was in response TO
a request from General Dick to the ad
jutant generals of the various states.
asking them to recommend such legisla-
ton in military affairs as they thought
needed.
The letter. in part, is as follows:
''Theg enerel government must exercise
control of the militia so far as is possi-
BILE. or ii Will not become the reliable
and effective military force contemplated
by the provisions of the new law.
Congress must give the war depart
ment all the authority TO control and
supervise which is authorized by the con-
stitution. Local legislation will always
be too tardy and insufficient and state
enactments will ever lack uniformity.
