THE DEFECT IN THE RECORD,
English and French Rather Mixed
in the Minutes of u Religious
Conference.

AT a Baptist convention recently
held in the south the minutes of the
first day were recorded by a man
of calm and deliberate speech, while
one of the speakers of the occasion
was quick-tempered gentleman
named French. By some oversight no
record was made in the minutes OF
Mr.. French's words, and when the
minutes were read next day Mr.
French was quickly on his feet, with
the remark that he objected to the
minutes being accepted.
'On what grounds do you obiect?''
questioned the presiding officer.
Il object to the English; the re-
port is not in good English" said the
gentleman.
A pause ensued, while everybody
looked at the recording secretary
who slowly rose to his feet.
''Well, gentlemen" he remarked, in
calm, deliberate fashion, ST won't
defend the English of the report
but I admit there was no French in
it."
A burst of merriment greeted his
words, and the minutes were ac.
cepted.

From the investigation of reput-
able lawyers it has been made APP
parent that members of the Tyson
family in Cecil county, will not
share in the $4,000, 0GO estate left
by Jas. Tyson, an Australian miner

Queensland, on the fourth day of
December. 1898, intestate and a
bachelor. Numerous claims from
persons said to be relatives of the
deceased, have been received from
all parts of the world, and lengthy
inquiries have been conducted "
the courts in this state and in New
South Wales.
"The only persons entitled to
distribution Ivy our law are the de-

A DOCTORS POINT OF VIEW.
Physician Says the Carpet Is the Most
Unsanitary Thing In the
Modern Home.

"When the American housewife be-
comes thoroughly educated in domes-
tic sanitation she will never have
carpet in her home" remarked De-
troit doctor, who has made deep
study of the germ theory, according to
the Free Press.
Why" Simply because it is the
most unsanitary thing in the house.
No matter how careful the inmates
may be in the matter of cleaning their
shoes before entering the house-un-
less they were to adopt the oriental
practice of taking them off and leav-
ing them outside-they are bound to
carry in some dirt from the street.
This dirt settles in the carpets, and
when sweeping day comes it is stirred
up and the air of the room becomes
filled with it. 1t may not always be
impure, but as nearly all of it comes
from the street the chances are that it
it, and when the sweeper, or whoever
passes through the room during the
sweeping process, inhales it whatever
dangers may lurk in it pass into the
anu pSIIOl WITH VI Ills
chief. If you want to test this theory
go yourself into carpeted room that
has just been swept and notice how
quickly you can become choked with
the dust that is in the air.
"What would I substitute for car
pets? Rugs. And not large, heavy
rugs, either, but small and light ones
that may easily be lifted up and
taken out doors for cleaning. Rugs,
however cheap, on hard wood floors
are better than the most expensive
carpet you can buy, if you have re-
gard for your health. They should
be cleaned frequently, too, and al
ways out doors.
eff this simple method were uni
versally adopted you may be sure
that we doctors would in time have
fewer patients to take care of, and
this fact should give you sufficient
evidence that my suggestion is not
made for selfish purpose"

REVOLUTIONARY PENSIONS.
There Are Stin Seven Petrs Ons Draw
ing Money from the GoveFn-
ment ON Old Account.

Nearly 100 years have elapsed since
the revolutionary war came to an
end. The last survivor of the thou
sands of men who took part in that
great struggle for liberty died more
than 30 years ago. Yet, there are on
Uncle Sans pension rolls the names
of seven persons each of whom has
been granted a small sum of money
monthly on account of it, says a
Washington report.
Three of the seven are the only sur
viving widows of revolutionary SOL
diers. The other four are daughters
and are pensioned by special act
of congress. The widows are: Re-
becca Mayo. aged 80 years, of New
burn, Va; Nancy Jones, aged So
years, of Jonesboro, Tenn, and
Esther S. Damon, aged So years, of
Plymouth Union, Vt.
Rebecca Mayo, whose maiden name
was Rebecca Dawson, is the widow of
Stephen Mayo. whom she married in
Virginia, on November "a, 1884, when
she was 26 and and he II years of
age. Her husband enlisted as a pri-
vate in Virginia regiment in 1776,
and served three or four months. He
enlisted again in February, 1777, and
served for one year. He participated
in the battles of Brandywine and Ger
mantown. In 1882, at the age of rs
years, he made application for a pen
sion, which was allowed. He died in
1S47, and the same year application
was made by his widow and her claim
was allowed.
ling Jones, who served for nine
months as a private in a North Caro-
lima regiment and was in the battle
OF Monks Corner and also in some
skirmishes with the Cherokee Indi-
ans. Her maiden name was Nancy
Huff. She married in Carter County,
Tenn, at the age of 25 years, her
husband being 60 years of age. Mr..
Jones was drawing pension at the

mon at Bridgewater, VT, in 1885,
when she was % years of age and he

When He Wanted MOney-Old

When civilization reached Pine Hill

Globe.

The old man tramped forward to
the cashiers window, rested the muz-
zle of his gun on the ledge and yelled
out:
"Come down, OF you are a dead
mani"
Certainly. Here's thirty"
"And-and is that all there is to

IN FASHIONS REALM.
Wants to BE Correct and Up-to-
Date in Appearance.

Tabs and tails are the correct adorn-
ments for fur muffs this year, stuffed
heads having been discarded by Dame
Fashion.
Ribbons for trimming the modish
beaver hats have a silk beaver finish
and come in plain colorings and the
most effective combina tions.
Heavy lace, suggesting repousse
work in pastel apricot tint known a
champagne, is used with artistic re-
suits on some modish gowns, combin-
ing especially well with pale pink, am
Der or pale blue.
Drapery net for mourning millinery
resembles point d'eSprit sprinkled with
tiny dull jet beads, reports the Brook
Ign Eagle
The moonstone is in evidence as the
setting for some of the newest sleeve
links and fancy buttons.
The strapping fad has extended to
silk petticoats, narrow bands of silk
Enbellishing the finely tucked founces.
Broadtail and gray fox is an eff
fective combination in the coat line.
Some beautiful low bodices are
trimmed with triple folds of the ma
terial, with a large Renaissance jewel
as central ornament.
Evening gowns of tulle or satin in
light champagne color are relieved by
touch of Light green.
Chinchilla is used for trimming
smart costumes of velvet in dark vio-
let, gray and brown.
Chrysanthemums with a fringe Of
unopened buds, bright red Virginia
creeper, Parma violets with fringe of
stalks and roses fecked with brilliants
and combined with tiny rosebud trails,
are few of the lovely effects in floral
garniture for gowns of black net or
crepe brought out this season.
AS embroidery for evening shoes tur-
quoise is blended with gold on black
and white, and emeralds mingle with
fine gold stitchery. Rhinestones, fine
ly cut jet and steel spangles are util-
lied for the adornment of black satin
and kid shoes, and an extreme fancy is
butterfly embroidery decorating the
toes of some beautiful shies.
According to an authority the first
decollete gown of which mention was
made in the history of costume was
worn by Queen Isabeau of Baviere. The
fashion was at its height in the time
of the Valois kings and flourished dur
ing the reigns of Louis XIV. and his sue
cessors.
Embroidered hop sack is one of the
new fabrics utilized for smart gowns.
The grape ornamentation has caught
the fancy of the hosiery manufacture
er, and white silk stockings show de-
sign of fruit and foliage over the in
step.

GREAT SCARCITY OF HORSES.
Am frica's Supply, Though Large, Is
Not Equal to the Country's
Growing Demand.

We are horse poor-not as some
3eople are land poor, because they
have too much-but horse poor be-
cause we haven't enough horses.
After the civil war we found our
selves short of horses of the bigger
types and began importing them for
breeding purposes. We imported
them to good purpose and in very
large numbers and greatly improved
the quality of our stock. When cleo
tricity began to haul street cars the
market for the commoner kinds of
horses fell off and farmers didn't
breed SO many. When the automo-
biles began to appear and were her.
aided as machines that must super
sede the use of carriage horses the
breeders of the better class of horses
took fright.
For years after 1898, too, thousands
of people who wanted horses could
not afford them. But with the return
of prosperity the demand for good
horses began to grow again and
breeders bred more of them, reports
Harper's Weekly. But it takes about
five years to raise a horse that is
fit for the market and the breeders
got behind. The demand has outrun
the supply. The price of good horses
has increased very greatly and inn
ported stations are said to be worth
nearly ten times what they were ten
years ago. The South African war
took great number of horses out
of the country, including many
worthless ones, but the business of
horse-breeding has revived so much
that we shall soon have again rea-
sonably full supply.
Enterprising farmers nowadays
breed good horses. 1t pays, and
breeding poor horses doesn't pay.
We import horses from Europe for
breeding purposes and from Canada
for use, but of late we have exported
far more than we have imported and
are likely to keep on doing so. The
annual horse show in New York,
which seems on it's surface to be a
frivolous spectacle, really holds a
highly important relation to one of
the great industries of the country.
1t is the parent of all the American
horse shows and, with them, con-
stantly measures, stimulates and d.
reefs the country's progress in the
breeding of fine horses. There are
about 13,5OO,0OO horses in our land,
of an estimated value of 1904 ,O00,0 900.
The improvement of that much stock
is a pretty important matter, espe-
cially in these days, when Europe is
horse poor, too, and ready to take
from us any surplus of good horses
that we may come to have.
