Less Than for Convicts.

Why. you give your convicts 30 cents a day for their food, exclaimed MT. Johnston, "and yet you won't give the men who bled and suffer- ed for you, the bare pittance of cents a day."
 He said that he did not doubt that the Governor believed that the State treasury would seriously suffer from the $1O0,OOC appropriation and that an embarrassment would probably follow. He doubted the judgment of the Governor on this point. He called the attention of the Senators to the vast natural wealth of Alabama and Its increasing industries. He said that he had consulted with leading finan- ciers and all of them agreed that within four years the State revenues from taxes would almost be doubled. He also brought to the notice of the Senators the increasing revenue received from the con- vict department.
 1t was inconceivable to him, MT. John ston said, how any veteran or son of a veteran could vote against the appropria- ton.
 As for me-" declared the gray-haired veteran, T would rather drop dead or this floor than to oppose the bill. At the conclusion of the speech of MT Johnston. the Senate recessed for din ner.
 Senator Harrison Speaks. When the Senate convened at 3:3 | o'clock, Senator Harrison of Lee, Com mander of the Confederate Veterans O. Alabama. took the floor in advocacy oi the motion of MT. Johnston The feature of the speech of Senator Harrison was proposition submitted b! him, that both houses should pass a reso lution providing that if the treasur, should run short of funds on account O the appropriation. all appropriation should be proportionately decreased.

Short History Of General Manager
Elect Il. I. Miller.

Henry Irving Miller was born jan
uary -, 1862, and he entered railway
service as a rodman In September,
1888, he was made superintendent of
the third division Of the Pennsylvania
lines west Of Pittsburg, with head
quarters at Richmond. Ind In March,
1890, he was appointed superintendent
Of the Jeffersonville, Madison & Ind
ianapolis, now known as the Louis
vile division of the Pennsylvania
lines, with headquarters at Louisville,
From April, 1894, to July 1901, he was
superintendent of the Vandalia main
line. When Mr. J. J. Turner was elect
ed third vice president of the Penn
sylvania lines west with office at
Pittsburg, Mr. Miller succeeded him in
St Louis as general manager of the
Vandalia, and has ably filled that 20
sition to the present time. He is the
representative of the Pennsylvania's
proprietary interest in the St. Louis
Terminal Railroad association and is
member of the Terminal execu i've
board. During the past summer he
rendered much valuable assistance in
Terminal affairs and took an active
interest in the Terminal improvement
work.
Mr.. Miller is the son of John F.
Miller. vice president Of the Cleve-
land Akron & Columbus Railway com
pany and member of the national
commission, Louisiana Purchase expo
sition. In assuming the active man
agement Of the Rock Island system he
will he in close touch with the new
organization and viii bring to it all
the benefits of his operating exper-
ience on the Vandalia-Pennsylvania.
No successor to Mr. Miller as gener-
al manager OF the Vandalia has yet
been selected, but announcement viii
probably be made before the close OF
the month.

Washington, D. c., Dec. s.-The cpl
demic Of cranks, with all kinds Of i'm
aginary grievances against public
men, and particularly the president
continues unabated AS a result pub
lie men are hiding out" so to speak
They are taking no chances. and
very properly too, for some of these
gentlemen arriving with diseased inn
aginations are of a dangerous char
acter.
Within the last three days three or
four individuals with imaginary griev-
ances have arrived in the city and
are now locked up at the police sta
ton. Yesterday there were two ar
rivals. They were Daniel V. Clippard
of Mount Holly, North Carolina, alias
"Elijah H." and Ephraim Sellers, a
former inmate Of the st. Elizabeth in
sane asylum. elijah II" arriver here
yesterday from Charlotte, n. c., in an
effort to keep a promise which he says
he made in 1900 to Admiral Dewey. to
discuss with him the big reward to
be paid him for furnishing the admir-
al with suggestions which led to his
victory in Manila bay At the time
he was sent for he was in Deeth, New,
and was not able to come here.
Recently. he states, he was sent for
by the United States senate. and came
here in obedience to its summons. He
had the further motive of securing aid
in getting patents on a medicine he
had Invented, and a scheme for con-
trolling the solar system so as to reg
ulate seasons. Clippard had not heard
of Elijah" Dowie, and is inclined to
discredit his claims. He says all his
information comes through visions
from the Lord He was arrested yes
terl.y afternoon by Policeman G. e.
Smith, to whom he told his troubles.
In the opposite row of cells is Eph-
rain Sellers, who came here to COM
plain of the persecution to which he Is
subjected by all the church members
and all the members of the Democrat
ic party because Of his devotion to
the Republican cause. Sellers was
sent to the insane asylum, from where
he was discharged in April last. Since
then he has been in Pittsburg coming
here a few days ago and staying at
the Mount Vernon hotel. Yesterday
morning he was taken in tow by Po-
liceman II. Gilbert Sellers claims to
be hypnotist, and frankly stated that
he intended to hypnotic the officials
into allowing his claims. OF the two
men, only Clippard was armed. He
had e dangerous knife, which was
taken from him by the policeman max
ing the arrest. He also had lot OF
money, including S. gold piece
