with red and white carnations, cut
glass and hand painted china, from

coffee and zwiebach. The guests were
then ushered into the parlor, which

engraved "Rathbone Sisters, Mtn.

The dining room was then
thrown open and the hostess in
vited the guests to enter The
table was beautifully decorated
with lavender and white ribbons,
the Sub Rosa club colors, with a
center piece of green fern and violets
Ribbons were festooned from the
chandelier to the four corners of
the room and tastefully draped to
form the curtain in the archway.
After seating the guests to a very
elaborate German repast, the hostess
arose and repeated prayer in Ger
man.

Out On the farm of Will Albert, near
Heath, this county, the people of that
section are yet wrought UP over the
talking tree" that has been there for
some time. Enormous crowds continue
to congregate there almost every sun
day to here the strange noises that
emanate from the tree. The voice can
be distinctly heard and says there are
treasures buried at my roots"
A party consisting of the most reIi-
able citizens of the country visited the
tree not long since to make a thorough
investigation for themselves as to the
noises being heard. They listened
patiently for several hours and were
preparing to leave for home when a
sudden crash, which has been given
many times before the marvellous pro-
duction of a human voice, came.
The mystery yet remains unsolved,
and so great are the number of people
been who have gone there in the past
several months that the tree is now
dead, caused by the continuous tramp
ing on the earth surrounding the tree.
The only theory that has been sug-
gested is that man was killed under
the tree in 1852, and while many do
not believe in Spirits the facts are
SO plain and the voice can be so dis
tinctly heard that they cannot dispute
the fact. A family of people who lived
there many years ago became so fright
ened from the voice that they sold their
farm at a sacrifice and went West and
are now living in Texas.-From the
Paducah News-Democrat.

UPPER FORT STREET
HAS NOT CHANGED

Some of the quaint corners of Ho-
museum, capitol and parks. One is at
the northern end of Fort street, where
the frontages of houses and lots des-
cribe irregular lines on the street just
as they did half century and more
ago. A Chinese store extends across
the sidewalk into the street. and the
owner has whitewashed the makai side
OF his building in order that pedestrians
dark nights. He is going to cut door
in the side so that people going that
way win have to pass directly through
his store and thus be compelled to see
his stock in trade. The store of his
neighbor, another Chinaman, is so far
eelipsed that the proprietor sits alone
all day twiddling his thumbs. The
man who has pitched his store in the
middle of the street gets the family
trade of the neighborhood. A baker
above has his place of business on still
another line far in the background, and,
he is there. One resident modestly sets
his garbage barrel as near his front
fence as possible yet, each morning at
four o'clock, the hub of the night wheel
of the ice wagon regularly comes in
contact with it. A stranger may ind
his way through this part of Fort street
in daylight but few people, even old
residents. venture that way in the
night. Mounds and hollows and roots
of trees are in the path and one has
to grasp the palings of the fences as
he proceeds. An elderly gentleman who
returned from Tahiti a short time ago
had occasion to visit the neighborhood,
the scene of his boyhood days, and he
remarked upon the familiar appearance
of the old place. 1T is just as it was
when I was a boy, sixty years ago"
he observed. Something was said
when John Young II was Minister of
the Interior about digging trench to
allow the winter storm water to run
away, but nothing was done about it.
Yes, it is the same street said the old
gentleman with a smile.-Paradise.

LET Mr.. BRYAN BOLT!

The question that assails us at
every turn is: "Why do the Dem O.
Gratis worry over the prospect that
Mr.. Bryan may bolt the St. Louis
convention if things do not 60 to suit
him?N 1t is question to which We
can make no reply. Having no in
sight into Democratic sentiments. mo
tives, and emotions, and not enjoying
the confidence of the leaders, we are
without guidance save that of plain
common sense, and therefore, and
naturally, cannot see why the part y
should consider Mr.. Bryan at all. 1t
must be plain to the merest tyre by
this time that the Democracy are
bent upon winning the fight of 1904.
1t is equally plain that no sane Dem
ocrat imagines, in his widest dreams,
the possibility of winning under
Mr.. Bryan's leadership.
If these indications be trustworthy
the conclusion is obvious. Clearly,
Mr.. Bryan has no folio wing at the
South. Quite as clearly he has none in
the middle States-the debatable and
the indispensable States. Say that the
South will support any Democratic
candidate-Tom, Dick, or Harry. We
do not altogether believe it, but let
the question go.
The consideration of New York New
Jersey, Connecticut, Ohio, Indiana,
Illinois Wisconsin remains, and in
that field we must measure Mr.. Bry-
an influence tor good or evil. Does
any enlightened human being believe
that he could lend strength to the
Dem ocratic cause in any of those
State S? Is it not absolutely certain
that his dominat ion, or even his
promi hence, would put an end to
every Democratic hope? Speaking as
an outsider, we say, let Mr.. Bcyan

SUICIDE.

Mayor K. N. McLanA, of Baltimore
committed suicide at hia home in Bal
timore on Monday afternoon by shoot
ing himself through the head.
1t was about 3 O'Clock whom the
mayor and Mrs. McLane finished
heir midday meal and went to their
rooms on the third floor. After some
few remarks the mayor retired to his
dressing room, which is the back room
OF that floor. Hardly four minutes had
elapsed when Mrs. NcLane, who had
thrown herself across couch, was
startled by a sharp, cracking sound.
She called to her maid and asked if a
shutter had fallen. The maid ran up
stairs aud declared that the sound had
come from that section of the house.
Mrs. McLand then directed the maid
to ask Mr.. McLane if he had dropped
anything to make the Disc in any
manner. The maid tapped lightly on
the door fEthe dressing room. but re-
ceived no response.
She repeated this several times and
Ms. McLane told her to go into the
room. ] The door was pushed open and
the maid peered into the room. She
stepped back instantly, say ing that NJ
McLaue had fallen on the floor. Blood
gushed from an ugly hole in the right
temple and Mrs. McLrne saw that
something serious had happened She
at once sent her son and the maid for
a physician, in short while several
physicians were pv the side of the dy-
| ing man. He lived about one hour
aud died wit hout regaining conscious
ness. The Mayor was in the best OF
spirits and showed no signs of worry
or dependency and the cause of the
at is mystery, the physicians say ii
was owing to sudden stroke of emo
tional insanity.
