as follows: "Are you satisfied now I

And then he fell squatting in chair,
his crockery optic attempting to
squint, but it was not there, as it
failed to respond; and then he stared
blankly, the optical illusion being
disillusionary one, and then the
Governor hs- haed hearty and
merry ha-ha, saying: "You bet, l
am satisfed. You've done your job
we'll. You are all right, Brecs. Pn

gentleman at the Morris last night, and
in spite of all laws made for their pro-

who live at the expense of the unsophis-

tiplicity of schemes have been devised to
relieve the people of all surperfiuous

One of the most implausabe, yet most
successful of these humbugs perpetrated

notice. occurred here in the south some
years ago.
"A smooth tongued individual Travelled
through the country soliciting orders for

Chauncey Depew at Chicago.

The country's famous and popular
Joker found willing ears at Chicago
and even his jokes Of a generation
ago we're received with merriment. He
grew young again in the retelling of
them, for willing and welcome crowds
were ever at hand. Justice, too, COM
pels us to say that he now and then
turned loose new epigrams and the lob
bies received them with reclamation.
For example, when he was told that
the ticket was to be Roosevelt and
Fairbanks, he exclaimed: "A bunch of
firecrachers and a long stick of damp
punk" When later for policy reasons
he attempted to deny having given
expression to the admirable and tight
fitting smile, 1t could not be called
in. 1t had entered into the national
circulation, and it could not be called
back.
Let it stand, Chauncey. 1t Is your
best Joke of the year. You have de-
scribed the Chicago ticket to a dot,
and you need not deny either your
own good wit or the truth of the pic
ture. Let 1t stand No one else can
describe that ticket so we'll and SC
strikingly in so few words. 1t is a
flash-light picture, and the public will
not permit you to withdraw it. Let 1t
stand. The firecrackers can stand it,
and the punk cannot conscientiously
deny It's essential truth and vividness.

Restaurant Cream.

II have often boosted of the line cream
to be had at certain of the lunch coun-
ters and cafes of Birmingham, and was
very much surprised the other day wnlle
seated in one of these places to see an
attendent making up a fresh supply OF
this prerequisite of all good meals, said
a merchant. 81 judge that he used three
gallons Of milk about a gallon and
half of pure cream and about two quarts
of condensed milk. The whole was mixed
together and was then ready to be served
to guests as pure cream right from the
Jersey. Now, 1 will not attempt to deny
that the cream thus manufactured tasts
all right and looks all right, for II mas
helped me to enjoy many good meals IN
the restaurant I am referring to, but
nevertheless It was something of shock
to discover that once again things are
not always as they seem. could have
sworn that the cream l have had served
to me for several years was absolutely
pure, but there are tricks In every trade,
I suppose, and diluted cream is merely
one of them

Iarqement Of the Court House.

By majority of 4S the court house
bonds have been voted. A majority
of 48 is as good in the bond market
as a majority of 1900, and the needed
enlargement of the court house has
passed from theory into certainty. The
court house will be duly enlarged up
to present demands of one of the most
prosperous and populous counties in
the country.
It is but a question of time when
the new as well as the old Jail must
be established elsewhere. 1t need not
be in this city at all. A location on
any trolley line will suffice. The court
house will soon or later demand the
entire lot, and plans that contemplate
the removal of the Jail may as we'll
be made, even If a portion of the Jail
be retained for the present at the pres.
ent location.
Let us hope the architects will be
as happy IN the addition they are to
plan as the old architects were in the
construction of the building on Third
avenue. The Fourth avenue building
should conform to the former. Terra
Gotta should be freely employed, and
the whole should have the appearance,
not of patchwork, but of growth in
accordance witt the rules of art. IL
possible, the addition should be made
SO deceptive that the wayfarer will not
consider it an addition. 1t should
merge itself in the original, and IL
some persist in considering it an addi-
ton let it be natural and fitting one.
The board of revenue have no light
task on their hands. They can make
or mar the court house, and there is
greater danger of the latter than of
the former. 1t is q serious artistic
task. The national capital was en-
larged without loss of beauty, but 1t
was enlarged as planned at the outset.
Jefferson county has outgrown its
court house, but the architects left no
plans for enlargement These must be
made outright by other hands, and
lucky will the county be If its court
house escapes with Its beauty I'M
married.

WREAkED VENGEANCE
On Man Who Betrayed Him to Louis
vile Police.

From the Cincinnati Enquirer.
Seeking to wreak vengeance on the man
who had betrayed him, Charles McSpar-
den, colored, yesterday gave information
to the police that lead to the arrest of
Edward Davis as an escaped convict from
the state prison of Alabama In the all
legged jail delivery which resulted in the
escape of Davis, McSparden was a par
ticipant. The two made their way north,
and at Louisville, In a moment of anger
Davis pointed MeSparden out to the DO
lice of the Falls City as an escaped con-
Wet. The latter was returned to Ala
bama and served out the term for which
he was sentenced. AT that time McSpar-
den vowed vengeance on Davis. and when
he was legally released Travelled north

REAL philanthropist has just
been discovered at Alton. H., IN
the person of Edmund Beal.

YIN been discovered at Alton, Ill, Ia
the person of Edmund Beal. a
gentleman who has just erected-a fiat
which will be dedicated to the interests of
tenants with children. The new fiat has
been called the "storks Nest" very
choice name In view of the fact that the
stork will be expected to pay frequent Wis
its there without fear of having his tail
feathers torn out by an irate landlord. Mr..
Beal does not proclaim himself an agita-
tor against race suicide but he certainly
deserves a cabinet position from Mr.
Roosevelt, while those offices are being re-
distributed with an assurance which de-
notes that the republicans expect to con-
tinue to hold forth in the White House.
Mr.. Beal announces that children will be
extended the glad hand in his fiat,
fguratively speaking, and the more chill
dren there are the merrier it will be. From
present indications the Stork's Nest will
be overrun with tenants, both large and
small. In addition to being a philanthro-
pist Mr.. Beal has a good eye for bus
mess. Where all his tenants have chill
dren, none of them can consistently move
away because anybody else has children.
The only possible fault to find with such
an ideal fiat is the trouble that will be ex-
perienced in keeping the Jones' Brown and
Smith children separate and distinct.
The prohibition ticket which sets forth
General Nelson A. Miles for president and
the Rev Sam p. Jones for vice president
Is unique and interesting, especially since
the Georgia evangelist has announced that
he will ride behind no man, not even on a
presidential ticket. From a cursorv view
of the situa ion it is easy to see wherein
the Rev. Sam p. Jones, who is the Rev.
Thomas B. Gregory of the Atlanta Jour-
nal, is wise. Tue vice presidency is recog-
ties to shine and that would never suit
a gentleman of the strenuous disposition
of the Rev Sam P. Jones. There is some
doubt about the qualifications Of General
Miles for the office. since certain Virginia
prohibitionists have turned him down with
the remark that they do not know wheth-
er he is prohibtionist or not, but that
may be considered merely party schism,
which is to be expected on the eve of a
national campaign. If the Rev. Sam P.
Jones. can not be prevailed upon to play
second fiddle, or ride behind the stalwart
form of General Miles. the job might be
offered to the Rev. Sam Small who now
aspires to be a political light
Since the slocum disaster the papers

Thirteen.

The thirteenth convention of the

utes after the thirteenth hour of the

who know the meaning of portents
and omens stand aghast 1t is augur.

of it boding fortune.
The line of retreat has been cut
? The convention has adjourned without
day; its record is, made up, and it
must stand or fall by 1t. Those who
believe in tAe supernatural are con-
WINGED that it cannot stand pat on
To- 10.
The attempt to change the minute
of the fated hour to twelve" will not
deceive the wide-awake and wary.
The die was not only cast, but the
telegraph HAD carried the misfortunate
minute of the hour to all parts of the
earth. 1t is too late, besides an event
and its dato cannot be changed in any
such transparent and loose-jointed par
liamentary manner. The record can
not be altered.
What, then, can be done? Nothing,
esteemed friends. The fates have so
willed it, and there is nothing to do
lut to drift on to November, letting
ths stars work their will. The repub-
licans are now under an astral infiu-
ence that cannos be changed or ap-
peased. Side by side with the Rough

WOMAN WANTS NEW NOSE.

Cincinnati telegram to the Chicago Inter

With the beauty of her face marred by

encouragement.
