 Then Mir Williams had to give the or biography of the communities reported to be pushing his boom. Explanations had to be made to other correspondents who had that the scholarly Mississippian was merely indulging his versatile linguistic accomplishments. They didn't know, when he was rolling from his tongue the words they strained to catch, whether he was talking Greek Sanscrit or Choc- taw. But he finished his answer to the young correspondent, regarded the eff feet gravely, and, turning, disappeared within the swinging doors of the main House entrance.
 As soon as MT. Williams was gone, there was a hot scurrying of chase to findCongressmen who might possibly shed additional light upon the Williams boom. One man said that the last paragraph of Grover Cleveland'a latest deliverance, abolishing geographical considerations, opened the door ss wide for John Sharp Williams as anybody else. Another said there was no sort of doubt that Mfr. Will Hams had a cInch upon the cities of Shu- buta, Toornsooba, Shuqualak, Chicla- sahay, Buckatunna, Satartia, Yioghiogany and Graball. Others pointed to the undis- puted fact that the Hearst propaganda was likewise busy thereabouts. From what could be gathered, 1t appears that the people of the metropolis bearing the aboriginal names are vieing with the membra dejecta of the body polite insti- tuted bv Congressman Hearst in other parts of the State for the capture of the convention vote of Mississippi at St. Louis.
 A rough estimate of the ultimate situa- tion drawn by an irreverent Mississippian was to the effect that. Grover Cleveland to the contrary notwithstanding. John Sharp williams's geography shut him out and Hearst was "barred by d-d nigh everything else.'' R. H. watkins.

Speech-making at Differ ent Places. Judge Emory spser of Georgia Pleads for Better Understanding of the South by the
 North.

Chicago, Feb 22.-The anniversary of the birth of George Washington was ob- served here to-day by the Union League Club with two meetings at the Audito- rum theater, one in the informing and the other in the afternoon and a banquet to- night to the members of the club. The principal exercise was held in the af- ternoon, when Elihu Root. former Sec- retary of War. delivered an address on The Ethics of the Panama Question"
 Among those who spoke at the fore noon meeting at the Auditorium were Dr. William c. Frost of Berea College, Ken lucky, who took for his subject What Makes Great Men?"
 The closing event of the days cele- bration was a banquet to the members of the club and their friends.
 After former Secretary Root had re- sponded to toast. addresses were deliv- cred by Judge Emory speer. of the Unit ed States District Court of Georgia, and 1T. w. J. Tucker. president of Dart mouth College.

 Judge Emory speer.
 Judge Emory speer of Georgia in re- spending to the toast 'The American President" said:
 "God send the time when the people of the North and the South will know each other better.
 May the day hasten when the South- ern people may have the full sympathy and counsel of their Northern brethren in all their anxieties and may they rejoice in the liberty to put behind them their apprehensions for the control of their To- cal governments and for the safety oa their loved ones and their homes. May they feel free to forever break their soIi- darity on national questions, the greatest menace of the nation. May they regain the substance as well as the form of re- publican government. May they exercise anew at the ballot box the untrammeled frapchises of American freemen and de- terTnine for themselves upon their merits, the excellence of men and the rightful- ness of measures on which the welfare of the nation depends. These things accom- plished. all things making for the happi- ness of the nation at home and its strength and honor abroad will be added unto us, and the sons forever reunited can join anew in the chorus their fathers loved. for

 The union of States none can sever, The union of hearts, the union of hands,

 The Pennsylvania company is going
 aDout the work in the right way.
 Large areas of rough land, suitable for
 the purposes Of forest, can be ob-
 talned at slight cost, and forest once grown will continue. under propr
 management, to yield ties and per- petuate itself indefinitely. Careful trimming from the time the young trees begin to grow will train them into the proper shape. and thus a single tree WliI yield more ties than those which nave no pruning. The Pennsylvania company has also selected the very best tree Tor the purpose. The locust is one
 or the most rapid growing Of the hard wood trees, and one locust tie will probably outlast half dozen of oak or chestnut. In fact, the locust is regard ed as the most durable of all our native woods. and railroad track laid on To- cust ties would be almost as permanent
 as If the ties were of iron. By planting large and numerous for eSts the railroad companies would not only be providing for their own future
 but would be conferring a lasting bene- ilt upon the country. These forests would utilize a great deal of waste l lands; they. would furnish a vast
 amount of fuel for the people within
 reach of them, they might have a good effect on the climate, and, besides, might be utilized as places of refuge,
 where our birds and wild animals could
 be saved from extinction.-Baltimore Sun.

CULTURE OF FORESTS.

Pennsylvania Railroads Locust Tie
 Reserve on Waste Land.
 The Pennsylvania Company is en- gagged in planting locust trees with a view of supplying crossties in the fu- ture Last fall 50,O00 were planted at Conewago. Penn, and now as many more are being planted. Next fall, it is said, the company will plant 100000, and in the following spring 65O,0O0 It forest will cover three square miles, and it is estimated, will furnish 5000, 900 ties within 25 years. This is an ex- cellent work, and is evidence of wise and far sighted policy. Tree planting is neglected by individuals because forest trees are of slow growth and the one to set out forests. But in the case of such a corporation as ths Pennsy- Nania Railroad Company the case is different. Such a corporation is sup- posed to be immortal, and the manage ment, if it is prudent, is alawys look ing to the future. Iron and steel have been tested as substitutes for wooden crossties, but without success. Wood is manifestly the best material for this use, and there is scarcely any use which has caused a more general and deplorable devastation of the forests of the railroads. The time is rapidly ap- preaching when the natural supply must fail or become too expensive. Some of the Western railroad companies ing trees along their right of way On the fertile lands of the prairies trees. make rapid growth, and while a suffi- cient supply cannot be produced this

BREAD ON THE WATERS.

Bankers Help To A Lad Repaid When Former Needed It. To the generosity of the late w. C.. Ralston is credited a story of how he helped young man to start in life by advancing him $10O. The beneficiary himself, who is at present a prosperous hardware merchant in this city, tells how he made for himself a business which lifted him from poverty to in- dependence, says the San Francisco Call.
 Blank was strapped, as he tells the story, and on hearing of Ralston's |liberality he stepped into the California Bank one morning and asked if he could speak to MT. Ralston. The boy at the private door inquired his business, remarking at the time that the mana ger was busy just then and would see no one except on banking business. Well" replied the young man, mine is banking business"
 When Ralston was informed of the request he gave instructions to have the visitor admitted. The boy walked in with as much confidence as if he had a million dollar load on his shoulders, and without waiting to be catechised, he made his business known in these words: MT. Ralston, am a poor boy with a mother to support; my father is dead, and if I had Sl00 I would make start in business and become rich. promise to repay the money at some time.'
 Impressed by the boys candor the generous Ralston handed him an order on the cashier for the amount asked and passed on to other matters de- manding his attention considering that the advance would help a poor woman and maybe give the boy a start. It did. The boy bought a lot of cutlery, which he peddled about the streets until even tually he was enabled to open little store on Bush street. Thence he moved into more commodious quarters, and to- day he is at the head of large hard ware store, easily amassing a fortune. Just before Ralston's death the money was paid to the California Bank at a time when Ralston himself needed financial aid to help meet the crash that sent him to his untimely grave
