Ray on the subject. The man who
delivered that electoral vote tc
Washington was Hon. Isaac Jenkin-
son, Of this city, and the following
is given in his own words:
"The presidential electors met as
stated by Col. Ray. 1t was suggest
ed that some one outside of the
electors be selected to carry the vote
to Washington, but it was found
there were too many candidates anC
therefore no election. 1t was ther

ed. Thirteen ballots were prepared
and placed in a hat. On one of tn,
ballots was written the name Lin
coin. The elector who drew the tick

the hat would be the choice of tn,
meeting. Mr.. Jenkinson was fortun
ate enough to be the lucky man, ant
it was he who took the votes t.
Washington and placed them in tn
hands of Vice President Breckin

that stirring event is as clear toda,
as the day it occurred.

From the Cincinnati Enquirer.
 Frank S. Moody, of Tuscaloosa, Ala. one of the best known financiers of the south rfesdent of one of the leading banks of Alabama, an old-line democrat, and man who takes an active Interest in political affairs in the southland, was at the Grand hotel yesterday. He said Speaking from my own point of view, believe Sen ator German is the proper man for the democrats to nominate this year He stood by the south in it's hour of need many years ago and the south is only waiting an opportunity to show him it has not for gotten him. There is no doubt but that he is one of the strongest men in the dem- ocratic party today He is strong in every section of the countryside east and north as well as the south. I believe he would make stronger race than any other man the democrats could nominate. On the other hand MT Olney Is a good man, a man whom the democrats can trust. He too is a prime favorite in the south and has great strength in the east. lie as the party nominee would make strong fight

begins to look as If cement making would soon become a great industry here. Certain 1t is that no state in tho union, not even Michigan, has so much cement rock of high quality as Ala bama has. It is not exaggeration to say that one-quarter of the state contains valuable cement rock. Selma may be said to be the central point of the deposits. and as Selma lies on a navigable river that town and also Demopolis promise to become cement centers. Fred. w Brown, an engineer and expert in the manufacture of ce- ment, living in Ohio, expresses the opinion that Alabama will produce five million dollars worth of cement an nually.
 The present incentive to cement de- yelopment is the prospective building of an isthmian canal. The cement rock of Alabama lies on or near navigable rivers, thus enabling manufacturers to place it at gulf ports unincumbered with high railroad rates. Cement made in Alabama" should underbid all other cements at Panama.

MT. CIeveIand's Bereavement.

The sympathies of the entire coun- try go out to former President Grover Cleveland in his sore bereavement. Ruth, the eldest child of MT. and Mrs. Cleveland, died yesterday, after brief illness. She was in her thirteenth year, and had given promise of matur- ing into womanhood of singular grace of heart and character The object of the tenderest solicitude and affection of her parents, the child had also won the admiration and love of all those who were the close personal friends of the family at Princeton
 The casket of a little babe makes long and deep shadow, but with the sudden passing away of girl ap- preaching woman's estate comes grief to father and mother overwhelming.
 Like all public men of strong person. ality, MT. Cleveland has had bitter po- litical opponents as well as ardent par tisans But he has filled the highest office in the gift of the people, and in this hour of mourning harsh words will cease and all men of whatever opin- ion on national questions will pray that our Father who Is in heaven may sus- tain and comfort him.

ZEBRA AS A DOMESTIC ANIMAL.
From Success.

From Success
 It is reported that a systematic attempt is to be made by the British government to domesticate the zebra for use in it's South African possessions. It is proposed to catch large numbers of wild zebras and allow them to breed in captivity, training the young as draft animals. No attempt, apparently. will be made to tame and train the captured animals themselves, al- though this has often been accomplished with selected individuals The zebra prop er is very difficult to tame, but allied vari- cities, such as the South African quagga, are more easily domestlcated. At the cape, twenty years since, these were often seen working with draft horses. Still better success has rewarded recent at tempt to cross the zebra with the horse and the ass The resulting hybrids which are called 'zebroids." are lively but docile, and are easily trained. They have unus- ual muscular strength, and their immuni- ty to the bite of the tsetse fly which is fa- tai to the horse. makes them especially valuable for African service It is thought by some that the zebroid will supplant the mule, especially for work in the trop-

Charming Accuracy.

"All republicans are not alike" re- marked a western democrat in the lobby. For instance, there is Senator Allison who is serupulously honest in his opin- ions and never commits himself on any proposition, unless he Is fully assured in his own mind, that he Is on the right side of the proposition. As an illustration of this fact: some time ago. two men liv- ing in Alsons home town, were discuss in the characteristics of the senator when one remarked. I'll bet you 5000 you cannot get Allison to commit himself up on any question about which he is at all uncertain
 "The bet was taken, and just about that time the distinguished senator was seen walking along the street. and the man who took the bet approached him and walked along with him. Soon the two observed a drove of sheep passing along. and the betting man remarked; Senator, those sheep have just been sheared Yes replied the senator, on one side. I do not know about the other It is needless to add that the walking companion of the senator lost his bet and promptly paid it.'

@ ANTON. O.. January 1.-The
 V Wright Brothers, inventors Of N the flying machine which has attracted such widespread attention, have prepared the following, which they say IS the first correct statement of the two successful trials made by them;
 "On the morning of December. II four flights were made two by Orville Wright and two by Wilbur Wright. The starts were all made from point Of the level and about 200 feet west of our camp In Dare county, North Carolina. The wind at the time of the flights had velocity of twenty-seven miles an hour at 10 o'clock and twenty-four miles an hour at noon, as recorded by the aernometer at the Kitty Hawk weather bureau sta ton.
 "rhe flight was made directly against the wind Each time the machine start ed from the level ground by its own power, with no assistance from gravity or other sources whatever. After a run of about forty feet on mono-rail track, which held the machine eight inches from the ground, it rose from the track, and under the direction of the operator climb ed upward on an inclined course until a height of eight or ten feet from the ground was reached, after which the course was kept as near horizontal as the wind gusts and limited skill of the opera tor would permit.
 Unto the teeth of December gale the .fiier' made its way forward with a speed of ten miles an hour over the ground and thirty or thirty-five miles an hour through the air. It had previously been decided that for reasons of personal safety, these first trials should be made as close to the ground as possible. The height chosen was scarcely sufficient for maneuvering in so gusty wind and with no previous acquaintance with the conduct of the machine and It's controlling mechanisms. Consequently the first flight was short.
 "The succeeding flights rapidly increas- ed in length and at the fourth trial a flight of 59 seconds was made in which the machine flew a little more than half a mile through the air and more than S52 feet over the ground. The landing was due to a slight error of judgment on the part of the operator. After passing over little hummock of sand In attempt ing to bring the machine down to the de- sired height. the operator turned the rud- der too far and the machine turned down. ward more quickly than had been expect ed.
 "The reverse movement of the rudder was fraction of second too late to "a ground and thus ending the flight. The whole occurrence occupied little If any more than one second of time

Rivers and Harbors.

Expenditures are high on account of free appropriations for public buildings and rivers and harbors and rural free delivery and a dozen other things, in- cluding big navy; and yet at the end of the first half of the present fiscal year no deficiency had occurred. In- stead of a deficit there was a surplus of $S,433,667. The chances are good that this surplus will be at least doubled before the fiscal year is ended, in spite of the current heavy expendi. lures. Internal revenue receipts are well maintained, and customs receipts are probably on a natural level. Ex- penditures are heavy, but they will be no heavier in the last half of the fiscal year than they were in the first half.
 All excuse for refusing to pass a riv- CTS and harbors bill relating particular ly to continuing contracts has disap- peared, except, or course, the dema- gogical desire to make false and mis- leading showing in the presidential year--a showing, by the way, that would mislead no one. It is said that Speaker Cannon, who is both capable and honest, Is now in favor of the preparation of a rivers and harbors bill, and the chances are good that such bill will be prepared and passed if the speaker regards it with favor able eye. It would indeed be a mis- fortune to postpone works needed by the country in order to deceive the voters by a misleading statement of economy in the presidential year.

In University Course.

"A chair of poultry is certainly more useful feature of university work than sociology, psychology and other fads," said man of collegiate education. "A poultry chair has been established in the up-to-date University of Missouri.
 q do not under-rate the value of mental science, but psychology has been greatly overdone by kindergartens, grammar schools, colleges and clubs. It is safe to say that large majority of the children and young men and young women who talk psychology and psychic influences are ignorant of the rudiments of psychology.
 But the chicken industry is not only something within the mental scope of the average youth, but 1t is full of interest as weu as profitable. The curators of the Missouri institution have decided to of fer complete course in poultry rais- ing.
 "A short course was offered last year, but this year the study Is to be put on an equal plane with the studies in other departments, and full instructions in the breeding and handling of domestic fowls and the production of eggs will be given.
 "The reasons for extending the course is due to the increasing importance of the poultry industry, and the remarkable in- terest manifested at the university last year. when the study was first introduced. The records show that it proved to be the most popular course sver offered at Mis- souri university. It proved so interesting that a number of the professors enrolled themselves as students, and entered the poultry department. The highest grades in the class were made by two members of the faculty.
 Another reason for the extension of the course is that the poultry business has become one of the leading industries in Missouri, the annual income from the same now being estimated at over $1O,- OO0. .0O0''

SENATOR LATIMER ALSO
 WORKS FOR GOOD ROADS

the entire question: being an industrial one, should be developed along non-parti- san lines similar to the way in which the free rural delivery of mail has been de- ve1oped, So far the work done by the Uni ted States government through the of- flee of public road inquiries has been en- tirely non-partisan, and the indications so far in reference to the enlargement of this work are that it will be kept non-partlsan in the future.
 It is probable that Senator Latimer is to be one of the strongest advocates of this general measure of any member of either house of congress. He attended the St. Louis convention for good roads, April 27 to 29, at which time he made strong speech favoring national aid. Since then he has been to Iowa, addressing the peo- pie there on the same subject, and has been very favorably received. During the last political campaign in his state he stumped the entire state on the good roads proposition, and was supported everywhere by his people. Within the last two weeks he has been to the state of Delaware on the request of the new sena- tor from that state, Dr. L. H. Ball. and has discussed the road question in every county in that state, and reports that the people are with him on the issue He will go on the 20th and 21st of January to Little Rock to address what Is expected to be the largest state convention ever assembled to consider this or any other industrial question in the United States, on which occasion he will elaborate fully upon the principles of his bill, and es- pecially that part which pertains to na- tional aid.
