THE BRowNL0w FOUNTAIN.
A Fund - Erect a Handsome Fountsin on
the Square to Be Raised BY Popular
SubseIiptiOn.

HNHeN'Ak 'AkNANA'
At recent meeting of the Board of
Trade appropriate resolutions were
passed IN reference to a fountain to be
erected on Public Square in honor of
our worthy congressman, Hon. w. p.
Brownlow. 1t was the sense of the
Board Of Trade to erect this fountain
at a cost of 81 ,000 aud to raise this
fund by popular subscription from
the people of johnson City and sur
rounding community.
The Board of Trade therefore ap-
pointed a committee of ways and means
to which committee the matter of rails
ing the funds has been instructed, as
follows:
S. II. PouDER, Chairman.
j. A. SUMMERS, Sec'y.
p. NJ. WARD, Treas.
G.. L. WoFFORD.
w. G.. MATHEs.
For the convenience Of the public
the committee has designated J. G.
Campbell as q solicitor at the postofllce
and S. A. Byrd at the Soldiers Home.
The idea of building a fountain on
the square is one that has been strong
ly endorsed for years, but never has it
struck so popular vein of sentiment
as when the question of erecting it in
honor of Congressman Brownlow was
mentioned. That it is an appropriate
token of the high esteem in which Col
Brownlow is held by our people goes
without saying.
The people feel that they should do
something to show their appreciation
and gratitude for the many good things
which Col. Brownlow has done for this
Congressional district and chief among
which is having erected in this city the
National Home for disabled -Yel-nteer
soldiers. 1f r,
Now that the people have an oppor-
tunity to show their gratefulness fol-
so worthy congressman they can dc
so in the matter of this popular sub
scription fund to build the BrownloV
fountain
The maximum subscription from any
one individual is set at $40, so that any
amount up to $40 will be received
This plan is adopted to make the sub
scription popular and one that can bt
reached by any individual All sub
scriptions will be duly acknowledged
through the public press.

COMMANDER OF VETERANS.

Since the organization of the United
Confederate Veterans he has held the
position of it's commander-in chief, and
his frequent re- elections to that posi-
tion have testified to the warmth of
affection in which he has been held in
the South.
General Gordon has always occupied
a conspicuous position in the organized
ranks of the United Confederate Vet
erans. At the several reunions, since
he became commander in chief, he had
been the most picturesque character of
the Confederate cause. AT the reunion
in Charleston some years ago, General
Gordon was detained from the conven-
tion by an accident to his train, and all
efforts to call that body to order had
proved futile. Self-appointed chair
men loudly raped for order, but the
enthusiastic shouting and cheering OF
the veterans could not be stilled. When
Gordon arrived, the hubbub in the con-
vention could be easily heard for q
block. Discouraged, the temporary
chairman had vacated the chair, con-
vinced that none but Gordon could con-
troll the convention ond secure order.
APPLAUSE SHAKES BUILDING.
AS Gordon entered the stage a ter
rife shout which shook the very walls
of the building and resounded to the
roof, greeted "the man of the 18th of
May" For nearly five minutes this
shout of welcome continued. But
when Gordon lifted his hand, the very
stiffness of death prevailed. No matter
to what degree the enthusiasm of the
veterans was aroused, silent gesture
from their beloved commander brought
instant order. No matter whether they
understood the motion or not, if Cor
don told them it was wise resolution
to adopt there was never a dissenting
voice. Though controlling the great
convention of enthusiastic and patrl.
otic men. when adjournment was taken
Gordon found himself utterly helpless
to resist the embraces and caresses ot
his devoted soldiers. On frequent oc
cosions he was bodily lifted to tht
shoulders of his fellows aud enthusias
tcally borne to his hotel.
When General Gordon home buruet
some years ago, near Atlanta, tele
grams aud letters came in floods iron
his former soldiers. The telegram
brought messages of sympathy, which
Gordon accepted with tears. The let
ters contained money and checks
which Gordon returned to their own
ers declaring that his soldier friend
needed their money more than he

men, even at the low price she glves them. but that, in our opinion. Is no defence of what we must look on as real stinginess. To expect competent man. who has any other business to attend to. to neglect 1t and serve the State for . daily sum which must be carefully used if he can pay for decent living in the city looks tco much like trying to get somethingA for nothing. It Is not a question of whether compe- tent men, or honest men, can be had for small price. but whether a great State ought to require It's citizens to serve 1t in responsible positions with out paying them fair wages It is not so much what a man Is worth. or how cheaply his services can be had. as whether a State should be willing to compensate those who serve 1t. That Is the point, as we see 1t. that the State should look at

DEATH OF DR. F. H. BROWN.
For Third of n Century He Practiced at Troy.


 at Troy.
 Brown. the oldest practicing physician of this city, died suddenly today just before noon. He had been up all last night with a patient and had visited patients this morning. A while before noon he went to his residence a short nap. He was soon called up over the telephone by one of the clerks of the drug store of c. B. Goldthwaite, where he kept his office, to visit patient. He walked to the store, and stopping In the door, inquired for his driver, at conversation with those about him, and apparently in his usual health.
 Suddenly he began to collapse and was caught by those near him, but died instantly. Another physician was call ed. but when the physician reached him, life was entirely extinct.
 Dr. Brown was about 72 years of age, and has been practicing physician for He served as a surgeon through the war between the States, and has been practicing medicine in this city for about thirty-two years.
 Dr. Brown was especially noted for his skill and ability as a physician and his sudden and unexpected death brings a shock to our people. Any se- rious sickness had been unknown to him for many years. and his life has been one of active service in the prac- tice of his profession.
 Notwithstanding the large practice he enjoyed among the wealthier class of the city, he did large charity practice which so endeared him to those in less fortunate circumstances that his death brings sadness to the hearts of many who have been relieved from suffering by the ministration of his kindness.

Low-PRIcEp LEGIsLAToRs.

Oregon is one of the States of the Union which apparently holds that the cheapest men make the best legislators. Or. ito put 1t in another way, the idea seems to be that by paying members small salaries, and limiting their time, they are likely to do least harm. What ever may be the specific reason for the apparent parsimony, the fact remains that the sessions of the Legislature are limited to forty days and the mem bers get but $3 per day for their ser vices. or $120 for each session. They get mileage. of course, but no per- quisites.
 It would naturally be supposed that such parsimony would limit the mem bership of the legislative body to three classes: men of independent means who would go without regard to remu- neration or else class of men who are worthless at home or anywhere else. or. lastly, of men who would go for what they expected to make "on the side" from those who would pay for such services. The Portland Oregonian, however. insists that the small pay re- ceived by the lawmakers of that State Is sufficient, and that as good men can be found in their Legislature as can be found in any State. Replying to some comments of The Saturday Even ing Post. the Portland paper says:
 Now. therefore, when The Post in- quires whether the American voter does not help the graft game by refus- ing to vote members of the Legislature higher salaries. we answer most em- phatically No" The man who is cor rupt or corruptible would be as mucn a grafter if he received $6 a day as he would be while receiving k3 day The tendency of the lower compensation is rather to secure the services of men who are above pecuniary consideration. The salary and mileage are sufficient so seat in the Legislature, but not enough to make 1t an attraction for the salary seeker. The present policy of remuner- ation brings competent men to the legislative halls and our legislators will compare favorably in busi- ness experience and intelligence with those of either New York. or Pennsyl- vania. What is said here in defense legislators would not apply to public officers generally. whose whole time is required for their official duties. If d clerk. a sheriff, judge or Secretary of State were paid a salary below what a competent man could earn in other vacations. there would be danger of securing incompetent or dishonest of ficers. But service in the Legislature takes a man away from his usual occu- patton but forty days in two years. and he need not and does not expect to re- ceive the value of his services in mon- ey. Maine and Oregon are in as safe hands as New York and Pennsylvania.
 We have not a shadow of doubt that oregon's legislators will compare fa- vorably with those of New York and Pennsylvania. especially the latter, or with those of some other States that pay much better salaries, and we afe willing to admit thA oregon gets good

CosTLIEsT INTER IN LAND.
Bishop HOrstmann Wears One Studded
 With Valuable Jewels.

The most costly miter in the United States, a miter which represents $10,- 900 worth of jewels and precious stones, is worn by Bishop Horstmann. of the Cleveland diocese of the Roman Catholic church. The bishop by vir- tue of his ofice is custodian of the hitter, which is the property of the church.
 The extreme costliness of the jew eIed headdress Is equaled by its artis- lie excellence and interesting history. The gems which, adorn the crown were the gift of Mrs. W. J. Gordon. wife of the late multimillionaire. MT. and Mrs. Gordon were close personal friends of the late Bishop Gilmour, Bishop Horstmann's predecessor. and during Mrs. Gordon's last illness she directed that her jewel box be given to the bishop and that it's contents be used for a miter, Later MT. Gordon added the jewels of his dead daughter to the collection, and when he was shown a water color of the miter as 1t would appear when finished he was so delighted that he agreed to bear the expense of making 1t.
 The emblem is so thickly tncrusted with the gems that It's fabric, white moire antique. is barely visible. The jewels are diamonds and seed pearls. amethysts, turquoises. ropazes and gar nets. The cruciform design is out lined with a pearl necklace and large diamond cross is placed in the center.
 1 The hitter was first worn by Bishop Gilmour. in 1888. and is exposed to the public view only three times during the year-at Christmas, Easter and ! Pentecost.

Horses or Human Lives

Editor The Advertiser:
 A good honest man, or horse, which is of the most value. A good hard working and useful citizen with a wife and four little children dependent upon him for support has been killed to save a few horses. It must be the opinion of all good citizens that it is a shame and sin to risk the lives of the people to save a horse, and fire or no fire it is no excuse to turn a lot of frantic fire-maddened horses loose to save them at the risk of the lives of the citizens. For the good of my fel- low citizens as well as my own family, our City Council should make 1t a penty and @ heavy one, for anybody who turns a horse loose. on the public streets of the city. In my opinion 1t were better to burn up every horse in the city. than that one good, honest man like O. E. Marin should lose his life. J. R. Wing,

 The department has decided not to enter into the question of the right of soldier to marry a colored woman If he so desires as far as army regulations are concerned Smith will be put out of the army simply because he Is con sidered guilty of an action which has brought to him an unenviable notoriety and caused trouble among his comrades and the citizens with whom he is asso- cated
 General Davis, the Judge Advocate General. sent the papers in the case to the President because Smith had appealed personally to Mir. Roosevelt. The President returned the matter to General Davis without remarks. Un- der the law, General Davis Is allowed to hold a matter of this sort without action for only ten days. This period was up yesterday. but a special dis- pensation was granted. allowing the matter to rest ten days more.

This is the day for saving the coun- try and it Is no unmeaning term.

Then. dissolution was the peril that threatened 1t, but now 1t is reckless absolutism. Let no Alabams. Democrat lay the hattering unction to his soul that his vote is not needed to prevent the great wrong. He might just as we'll argue that he cant pre- vent murderous war. and therefore has no need to protest against 1t.
