 There was a blockade in the Louisville and Nashville railroad yards here Sunday afternoon caused by the heavy freight traffic. The yards were blocked for sev- eral hours. The Louisville and Nashville is doing an enormous business on this division at this time.
 The Decatur lodge of Woodmen of the World have elected the following of- ficers Consul commander, s. T. Wort; advisory lieutenant, J. F. Arantz; banker, w. H. Mitchell; clerk, A. F. Huston; es- cort, J. G. Dodson; watchman, E. ". McCluskey; sentry, c. M. Goodman; phy- sician, w L. Dinsmore

Pentecost; recorder and fnancier, R. P. Baker; guide, T. E. Baker; inside watch man. James A. Nelson; outside watch man, E. J. B. Turner.
 Two Armenians have been in the city soliciting funds to rebuild a school and church at Constantinople which was destroyed by the Mhammedans some time ago.
 A Pedro club has been organized with inc following members; Mesdames Knight, Wrenshall B. F. Wallace, Leah McNeill. Seelye, Workman, Beard. Bibb, Hartshorne, Echols, Quill and Tom Jones'
 Within a short time John D. Wyker, prominent hardware man of Decatur, and associates will commence the erection of A handsome stone front business block on Bank street Decatur. A portion Of the first floor will be used as a bank ing house by the First National bank of Decatur and the remainder of the ground floor will be. used by MT. Wyker as hardware store.
 Hon. w. w. Callahan, representative to the state legislature from this coun- ty, was in the city Saturday and spent Sunday at home.
 He was waited upon by delegation of ministers who went to request him to use his influence in the passage of the proposed prohibition bill for this county. MT. Callahan is quoted as saying he would not support the bill as 1t Is now drawn, because he did not think the en- tire county should have the right to say whether or not whisky shall be sold in the Decaturs. At the present time the Decaturs are the only precincts in the county where whisky is sold, the rest of the county being already prohibition. The proposed bill does not effect only the Decaturs, but 1t gives the entire coun- ty vote on the question of the Decaturs having whisky or no whisky.

NO OPPOSITION
 TO HER STATUE
REPUBLICAN MEMBERS OF CON- GREss WILL NOT OPPOSE PLAN OF VIRGINIA TO HONOR THE
 GREAT CONFEDERATE LEADER.
BY wATTERsoN sTEALEY.

Washington, D. C., February 2.-(Spe- cial)-Inquiry among Republican mem bers of the senate and house fails to dis close any opposition to the proposed plan of the state of Virginia to erect a statue to Gen Robert E. Lee in Stautary Hall, near that of virginias other contribu- tion-George Washington.
 Of all the northern men seen Senator Depew of New York Is probably the most hearty in his expressions of favor to the acceptance of this statue. My opinion on this subject is very clear" says the senator "The war between the north and south was fought for the preserva- tion of the union. This question has been discussed in debate by the two sides ever since the framing of the articles of con- federation The union side won. The is sue was accepted at once by the defeated side and 1 think the placing of a statue of General Lee in Statuary Hall would be an emphatic recognition of the fact that we are all now advocates of nation alty and Its perpetuity. I am heartily in favor of receiving the Lee statue"
 Tn my opinion says Representative Crumpacker, whose peculiar views on southern questions might iead some to suppose that he would not take kindly to the Virginia contribution, the settle ment of this question should be left en- tirely to Virginia. Robert D. Lee was a distinguished citizen of this country He was a conspicuous figure in the cause of the confederacy, a cause which Vir- ginia espoused, and if Virginia wants to remember him by placing statue in tho capitol, I see no reason why she should not do so. Lee Is Virginia's son, and 1t is for her to decide this question as she sees fit''
 The members of the Virginia delega- tion have notified members of the legis- lature that there will be no objection in Washington. so 1t is presumed that the present session of the legislature will appropriate money for the statue.

John Drew at the Jefferson Theatre

John Drew at the Jefferson Theatre
 John Drew's great artistic and financial success for this season, 'The Mummy and the Running Bird" had a thren months run at the Empire theatre, New York, and will be seen at the Jefferson theatre tonight with the exact cast ana appointments. The reception that han been accorded this drama of London'U social life is especially pleasing to Charleg Frohman, as it has started the second decade of expectations with MT. Drew In a most suspicious manner.
 The role of the scientist, who is re- stored to .hgs young wife's affection and love tnrough jealousy, is. one that re- calls the polished comedyroles in which MT Drew won his earlier popularity as a star. It is the finest part that he has had since his memorial triumph, "The Bauble Shop" Not only are genteel comedy and suave manner required in this role, but also powerful dramatic moments that call for strength and sub tility of acting, and all of which must be leavened with naturalness and sim plicity. Mr. Drew fully meets the re- quirements demanded and the result is a finished and complete presentation.

PERFUMED STATUES.
Parisian SculptGrs Add New Fad to-
That of Tinting Marble.


That of Tinting Marble.
The latest notion among Partisan
sculptors is to perfume as we'll as color
their feminine figures, says the Paris
correspondent of the New York World.
The practice of tinting the marble has
been gaining in favor with French
sculptors to such an extent that in the
last few years a pure white statue,
particularly if representing a woman,
has been q rarity.
The younger men, in their desire to
produce something ultra aesthetic, mix
their paints with oils specially prepared
with powerful perfumes, thus giving
an added touch Of realism to the stat
ues by making an appeal to the sense
Of smell as well as to that Of sight.
The true Partisan is an enthusiastic adj
vocate Of perfume.
