Poking crumpled and badly soiled
paper at Judge Allen of the court of or

old negro asked that it be cashed IN at

weeks, he said, he had ''begged dat ar
oman ter marry" but his eloquence was
of no avail and he wanted to get back
the ST. so paid for the connubial permit,
But Judge Allen could not see it that
way, and the old chap went back home

rate dulcinea.

Texts That Were Apropos.

Two stories are told in Harper's Mag
Yin of ministers stumbling on texts
Of a humorous personal application.
One was a very young minister, having
charge of his first church, and preach
ing q series of ermons on the life and
u~tterances of st. Paul. The last one
of these was given just before taking
his leave, and during his absence he ex-
pected to take unto himself a wife, his
engagement having been announced.
After turning over the caves of the
Bible thoughtfully, he said: Il invite
your attention this evening to these
words of the great apostle, L am ready
now to be offered up" The other
minister was a widower, who had re-
married within a year after his first
wife's death. His friends and congre-
cation thought him very expeditions,
and on the next Sunday, when his text
was announced, they could scarcely
control themselves. He rose in his
place in his pulpit and said: My be-
loved brethren. You will find my ext
in the seventeenth verse Of the fourth
chapter Of Second Corinthians. Our
light affection. which is for the mo-
ment.''

Stuart Robson, the actor, and Arthur
Pue German, the senator from Mary
land, ran away from their homes in
Baltimore together so many years g
that neither will fix the exact date,
says a writer in the Chicago Tribune.
Gormon got a job as page in the sem
ate, while Robson hung oun the cap
ital for a couple of weeks without any
thing to do. Rob" said young
man. one afternoon, "if you'll go and
see Dan Webster tomorrow morning
he'll fix you with a job
The godlike Daniel was then in the
hight of his fame, and Robson con-
fesses that he was frightened when he
went to see the great man. But Web
Ster vas as good as his word, and Rob-
son was appointed a page in the e
ate within a week. Senator Webster
got Senators Jefferson Davis and Rob-
ert TOmmi of Georgia to act as Spon-
sor for his protege. OLSON served
two terms as a senate age. Then,
through the good offices of some
friends who knew his ambition to shine
as an actor. Robson got an offer from
John Sleeper Clarke and Edwin Booth
to join their COMPANY for a tour
through Virginia in ShakeSpearean
plays. Robson was undecided, when
one day he met Daniel Webster on the
steps of h capitol and asked his adj
vice.
"Take the Offer" said Daniel. You
were cut out for an actor, not for a
statesman. I saw you pretending to
laugh today at one of Andrew john
sons jokes, and your laughter was so
natural that, for a moment, 1t almost
fooled me. Go on the stage, my boy.
That's where you belong.'
And so, taking the advice of Web
ster, Robson went on the stage. And
he has been on the stage ever since.

sional business. DR.. Baker is under
arrest at his office in consultation with
his attorneys at this hour, 1 o'clock.
The whole city is in a state Of intense
excitement"
(By Associated Press. .
Raleigh, N. c., March ia special
from Tarboro. N. c.. says
This morning at 9 o'clock in front of
the postoffice on Main street, DR.. j. M.
Baker shot DR.. H. T. Bass and inflicted
what may turn out to be a fatal wound.
The pistol ball went through both walls
Of the stomach and penetrated the liver.
Two shots were fired by DR.. Baker only
his pistol after he was shot. but says
that he does not remember whether he
shot 1T or not. The pistol fired, but the
ball went over the heads Of the CROWD.
After the shooting DR.. Bass walked
to his Office and soon afterward was
carried to his home. In the afternoon.
Doctors Leigh, of Norfolk, Moore, OF
Elm City, and David T. Tayloe. OF
Washington, performed an operation.
At his hour s o'clock DR.. Bass Is
living, but the surgeons who were pres
emf have stated that it will be nothing
short of a miracle if he RECEIVERS.
The shooting of DR.. Bass was the re-
suit of bitter feeling of long standing
existing between the two men. Last
summer there was a difficulty on the
street between the two men and DR..
Bass knocked Dr.. Baker down.. The
troubles were brought about by criti-
cisms of the management of a sanita>
rum Of which Dr.. Baker is the head.
The matter was later heard before
the board Of trustees and the coun>
ty commissioners and once DUR
ing the hearing both men drew
their pistols, but friends inter-
vened. DR.. Baker is a much smaller
man than DR.. Bass and is ten years his
junior, being about AZ cal old.
This morning DR.. Bass attacked DR..
Baker. AS to exactly when and how
the shooting occurred, the statements
that have been made upon the street
are conflicting. Some say that the shot
which may prove fatal was fired while
the two men were actually fighting,
others say thai DR.. Baker shot Dr..
Bass after they were pulled apart.
When the first shot was fired it seems
that DR.. Bass had his hand on DR..
Bakers pistol, from the appearance Of
bu-nt powder IN DR.. Bass han DR..
Baker contends that he acted in self
defense. Soon after the shooting, DR..
Baker gave himself up to the sheriff
BY agreement of counsel he was this
afternoon placed under a $4,000 bond.
Both DR.. Bass and DR.. Baker are ply
sicians of fine standing in the town and
having many friends.
Late this afternoon DR.. Bass made
his will.
LATER.-It was reported that DR..
Bass died of his wounds at 11:15 p. m.
The news could not be confirmed.

St. 5ernard's College Defeats Team
 From Cullman 16 to 8.

St. Bernard, April 2.--(Special)- Ber- nard5s college campus was the scene of an exciting game of baseball yesterday. 2he boys in blue of St Bernard concentrated all their energies on q good-natured April Foor' for the visiting team. The astonishing score of 16 to testifies to the success that attended their efforts. The Cullman sluggers were handicapped by the excellent fielding of the home team and began to realize in the sixth inning in which the college boys cleared scores that their task was not an easy one. John Radkei and Henry Fargman of St. Ber- hard won the repeated plaudits of the grandstand by their adroit handling of the ball.
 The game was full of interest from be- ginning to end. Umpire T. D. McMiron of Cullman observed great justice towards both teams and was repeatedly applauded by the "rooters."

SHAMROCK III HAS
 ANOTHER TRIAL Did Not Demonstrate the Su-
 periOrity Expected pAS SPIN BEFORE THE WIND Old Boat Was Not Able to Hold the Challenger, and Dropped Rapid
 ly Astern on the Final
 Sail Honneward.

Gourock, April 2.-The third series Of trials of the Shamrock III was held to- day under conditions similar to those of yesterday The wind had rather less strength, but it was fresh and saualiy at times This was welcomed; as yester- days display of the challenger for the America's cup left a suspicion among some yachtsmen that there might be con ditions under which the Shamrock l. could almost, if not quite, hold the new boat The latters gear, which was stretched under yesterdays strain. was set up afresh yesterday evening.
 The boats started on their first trial today off Toward Point Their sheets were trimmed and they remained in close company until abeam of Sl1elmoorde buoy where they luffed and beat to windward to Rothesay, three miles. In cross tack ing In a fresh breeze the challenger again showed great ability on this im- portant point of sailing, and went fur ther ahead and further to windward on every tack, and in a half hours sailing beat the Shamrock l by four minutes.
 The next trial was a spinnaker run uOMn 10 MlluWdTu. ne DIeeZe MdS SlGdQy and of a moderate strength The Sham rock I was given a lead of exactly one minute, but in a twenty-minute run the challenger closed the gap, overiapped her and ten minutes later had drawn clear ahead, the distance covered being be- tween four and five miles.
 Although the challenger proved faster in this run before the wind, she hardly demonstrated the superiority expected.
 ft,,nr Al,o,, .t,,I ward from Largs to Rothesay, about six miles, the Shamrock III. against outfoot- ed her opponent on every tack. The wind freshened but the fresher 1t became the better it seemed to suit the new boat which finished this beat to windward half a mile ahead.
 On turning, the yachts set their spin makers for another trial down the wind course. The Shamrock I. was about three minutes astern at the start, but with q better wind from the bay she shortened the gap until she was barely two minutes behind. These positions were maintain ed to the end of the run.
 Starting on another beat back across the Firth Shamrock III. excelled all her previous performances on this point of sailing and gained considerably over mile on a beat of about five miles, and then they squared away for the run home Shamrock III. leading by mile and half.
 On the broad, easy reach up the channel Shamrock l. had the advantage of big, reaching jib topsail, against small sim liar sail on the Shamrock III Neverthe- less the former was not able to hold the challenger which dropped her rapidly astern
 This finished the trials on the Clyde. They will be resumed off Weymouth early next week, with set races over measured courses. Shamrock I. leaves here to- night in tow for Weymouth.
