The story OF the Servlan jewels
must recall to the ex-Empress Eugene
her own experiences when the waves

She determined to sell the greater
part of her Jewels in hope to do some
thing to save the dynasty. Publicity
had to be avoided. and a market was
not to be found in Europe. newly thrill

press looked to the East for maket.
An Englishman was on his way home
for holiday. A telegram at Bombay
awaited him from one Of the greatest
European financial houses and inform
ed him of the determination OF the
empress. The difficulty had been to
fad n man with sufficient influence to
be able to approach the princes of In

to lay hands on the man who had
moral strength sufficient TO carry him

RUSSIA AND JAPAN WITHDRAW
MINISTERS AND EXPECT WAR

St. Petersburg. Feb. Although ev-
eryone having the smallest knowledge
of what was going on behind the scenes
here was perfectly aware that matters
had gone beyond the limits of possibili-
ties of peaceful settlement, yet when
about midday the foreign office issued
a circular telegram stating that the
Japanese government had recalled its
minister. Mr.. Kurino. Russia naturally
replied by the withdrawal of Baron de
Rosen from Toxic. 1t came as unex-
pected news and somewhat premature
ly bringing the crisis to head.
1t came as somewhat of a pleasant
surprise. for. as forecasted for some
time past, officials and generally the
class which represents public feeling
here were thoroughly tired OF the con-
tnuoas exchange of notes.
At the japanese legation Mr.. Kurino
was stated TO be in his bedroom and
was not visible. but one Of the largest
rooms was filled with packing cases,
which were being hurriedly nailed up.
At the foreign Office. although it was
Sunday. the scene was one of intense
business. but there was not word to
be had. Indeed. words are useless now.
The situation speaks eloquently for it.

Hany in the day It was reported
by one who has intimate means of
knowing that Russia's reply has been
short. sharp and decisive. No tangible
concessions were made. and further.

THE death of DR.. T. E. Moore
removes a landmark He was one
of the pioneer citizens of West
Tennessee. He came to Bolivar on
horseback, sixty years ago, from
Alabama, when this country was
almost a wilderness. The horse he
rode, the bride and saddle and a
very small amount of money were
his only possessions. Fresh from
college, full of energy, with conf
dence in himself, he ''put out his

clans of prominence were here, and
the new conner had a hard struggle
to establish himself. He has more
than once told the writer of the
many difficulties he encountered,
but always successfully overcame.
He had merit and a determination
to succeed, and he did succeed. He
was a man Oh InOSG lGLIdI dOlS
energy and endurance, a splendid
specimen Of well preserved man
hood, a genial, courteous, old-time
Southern gentleman. His life was
full of good deeds. He was always
a friend of the poor and unfortunate,
and he did as much charitable
practice, perhaps, as any physician
who ever lived. He vas devoted to
his profession and was an honor to
it. He responded to calls always,
and many times, in later years,
when he was ailing greater than the
patient he visited, often too, without
hope of reward. He was a great
and good man. Everybody in
Hardeman County knew him and
loved him and we will all miss him.
