II is told that when the principal
guest of the Gridiron, famous din

dent of the United States, who but
a few days before had occasion to
speak with spirit and point to the
commanding general of the army, two
bears entered the banquet chamber
One of them was real bear; the
other was an imitation bear with a
man inside of it. The pair rolled into
the middle of the hall and stood up
and faced the POSTMASTER.

asked them.
We've been over to the White
House to see the president" said the
smaller bear dolorously. 1t was then
observed that his fur was much dis
arranged, one of his ears was nearly
severed from his head, and that he
was in an apparently much enfeebled
condition.

FASTEST OF ALL SKATERS,
Nobody Ever Equaled the Speed Shown
by johnson, Tom Eek Declares.

Without any doubt whatever, the
fastest man that ever put on skate
in the world was John s. Johnson of
Minneapolis"
Tom Eek, the veteran trainer, made
this bold statement.
Johnson he continued, "skated a
quarter of mile in twenty-eight Sec
onds at Red Bank, N. j., from a stand
ing start That is the fastest perform
ance on skates the world has ever
seen. Another great performance by
Johnson was quarters of a mile,
on a circular track, in 1854 from
standing start Moreover, this was on
made ice, which is not as good as lake
ice.

The Big Smoke.

while l have hitherto sworn off
smoking, as New Years pledge
which has never been kept" said a
Universalist minister at the jewelers.
club dinner in Chicago year or two
ago, this night, with beautiful
smoking set as a souvenir, has
brought to me the determination to
make new pledge that l can keep
to smoke as long as l live"
William Porter Williams was the
POSTMASTER He had been consider
ably scratched at by the Universalist
brother. When the minister was seat
ed Mr.. Williams said:
when I reflect upon the uncharita-
bleness of my brother in what he
said about me, I am constrained to
wonder why, in making that resolu-
ton to smoke as long as he lived, he
necessarily drew the line at his
death. 1.-THE After Dinner Speak

There is a charitable lady in Paris
named Lebaudy. She does good among
the poor, but, like so many charitable
French women, has a violent taste for

meet the expenses of his defense when
he was sued for assaulting Gen. An

She seeks to recover the money from

A Lost Apology.

R. R. K. in Harper's Magazine for March.
 The Professor of Philosophy. absent minded and full of enthusiasms. came h. to the sitting room.
 What beautiful woman Mrs. Raw mond is!' he exclaimed q have just had such a pleasant talk with her in the bookstore
 His wife looked up from her sewing. John, she exclaimed, where is your collar?"
 The Professor of Philosophy put his hand to his throat q must have left it at the barber shop. Yes, that's 1t. I went to the barber shop; then to the bookstore. Why" he ended. lamely. Mrs Raymond would think it very care less of me to appear in public without my collar wouldn't she?'
 Rather said his wife. 'Perhaps you'd better call her up and tell her how it happened"
 Exactly" said the professor.
 The professor went to the telephona Hello central, hello-is this Mrs. Raw mond? YesP Well really. it was very stupid of me, Mrs. Raymond; but -.ou know, l had been thinking of something very important, and I quite forgot to put on my collar. I-oh!-ahi-go
 The professor suddenly hung up the re- ceiver. He gave utterance to mild ex- clamation.
 "JohnH exclaimed his wife
 'She says she hasn't been out of the house today" groaned the professor.

DOWN IN TENNESSEE.
Queer Ways and Words of cumber-
 land Mountain People.

From the Washington Post.
 In the narrow valleys of east Tennes- see, among the spurs of the Cumberland Mountains, are domiciled a hardy, hon est, and uncultivated people.
 Their ideas of mundane affairs are not only primitive. but peculiar. A good coon dog is considered q -aluable asset, and its owner is envied by his less fortunate neighbor.
 A visitor once asked Tim Adkins how many dogs he had. He replied
 "I haint got but four-looks like I never kin get start on dogs agin.'
 Hen Miller had young hog in a pen which he was fattening, and Tim said to him.
 "Bill don'tyou wish some of the boys on the creek could see us? We are sure using some style"
 Tim said his county was no good for fruit; that 1t did not produce apples enough to make cider for the sick
 There are signs of gol,. and silver in the mountains. There IS a tradition that vast deposit of silver exists across the Great Smoky Mountain in North Car olina. One old man has spent forty win ters searching for 1t, without success. East Tennessee abounds in coal and iron and portions of 1t produce fine crops of wheat and corn.
 It Is not an uncommon sight to see women blowing and hoeing in the fields. A gentleman stopped at house one hot day and found three or four stalwart men under a shade tree in the yard dis cussing the merits of their dogs, about a dozen of which. fat, sleel-looking fel- lows. were basking in the sun. The gen. tleman asked if he could get dinner, and the man of the house told him that he could, that his wife would be in from the field in a short time and cook din- ner.
 She came in after a while leading a mule and wiping the presperation from her face with her bonnet. She split some wood and soon had dinner ready. The gentleman said to her:
 You have a fine country here"
 To which she replied: "Well it's para disc to men and dogs, but it's mighty hard on women and mules."
 ElSman Payne, talking on the sub ject of cremation, uttered this thought:
 The people have been trying to take the Almightys work out of his hands for long time, and now they are trying to beat the devil out of his job"
 One native told a visitor that he had left the county he was raised in because he wasn't treated right. He said he cot into one of his tantrums and killed a nigger and it cost him $500 to get out of it. when 1t ought not to have cost over s5o
 The pane of that section for many years has been the moonshining. Illicit stills have, however, been mostly broken up by the officers of the United States.
 Those engaged in this industry, and their friends, consider themselves vc- tins of the government. Nothing could convince them that they have not a perfect right to raise corn and convert it into anything they choose.
 The advent of churches. schools, and railroads is making noticeable changes but the broad and somewhat grim hu- nor will cling to that people for another generation at least.

found itself far less pressed than usual on the last day of a session of Con gress. All the appropriation bills having been passed, the session was given up largely to general legislation. and when necessary to conference reports on appro- priation bills. During the day final re- ports were presented on the naval, the postoffice and the Indian and sundry civil bills, leaving only the river and har- bor and the general deficiency bills to be considered in their final stages
 During the day the pure food bill was definitely displaced and a sharp colloquy over the incident occurred between Messrs. McCumber and Lodge. The joint resolution continuing in force the present law applicable to the Pana canal zone, was unanimously adopted, but not until after senators had expressed themselves in frank language concerning the atti- tude of the House. to which they attrib- uted the failure of the conference re- port on the bill
 The bill authorizing the appointment as naval officers of young men dismissed from the naval academy in 1903 for haz- ing was debated at some length.

ADJUSTMENTS
AT THE JEFFERSON.
AT THE BlJoU.
Rogers Brothers.

"The Rogers Brothers in Paris' at the Jefferson theatre last night was char acteristic performance. the kind that draws packed houses from one end of the country to the other. There were pretty girls galore, handsome costumes, sprightly dances, tunefuI songs and bub- ment is light and frothy very nonsensieal and very easy to forget, yet 1t Is guar anteed to vanquish "the dumps"
 This year the Rogers Brothers have with them company of excellent sing CTS and dancers who imparted vivaci- ty to the performance that was refresh ing There was something going on all the time and the crowd that packed the Jefferson theatre to the doors could not get enough, 1t seemed. Every number but one was encored enthusiastically. while the Rogers Brothers and their ab- surdlties kept the house in a roar It was a goodnatured crowd. The people began to laugh before the asbestos curtain went up and from then until the close of the performance the enthusiasm was pro- nounced.
 A feature of "The Rogers Brothers in Paris" that will be pleasantly remem- bered was the music. All the songs were good and one or two will be hummed or whistled far into the good old summer time when baseball is the topic of the hour.
 Miss Josephine Cohan, who is quite popular in Birmingham, exerted her win ming ways with good effect and was ap- plauded. She twisted her ankle while talk ing part in dance near the close of tine last act, and limped off the stage, but finished the performance pluckily.

CARL BUBIE DIES
 FROM HIS WOUND
WAS sHo. ON NIGHT OF FE6RU- ARY f3 BY JOE HOOPER IN A GENERAL ROW IN WILLIAM, HOOPER lN JAIL.

Carl Bubie aged 2s years, who was shot by Joe Hooper in a general row at Wylam on the evening of February 1S, died last night at 2 o'clock at St. Vim cents hospital Shortly after he was shot MT. Bubie was carried to the hos pital where an operation was performed. At that time his wounds was pronounced fatal and it seems almost a miracle that he lived for thirteen days.
 Hooper was arrested shortly after the shooting and has been confined in the county jail, charged with assault The preliminary hearing will come up before Justice of Peace Brodie of Wylam. The charge against Mir. Hooper will probably be changed to murder.
 The remains of MT Bubie will be car ried to Vivian for burial. Hooper is a machinest and Bubie had been a miner.

St. Petersburg, March 3.-440 D. m.- Emperor Nicholas manifesto today re- iterating Russia's aspirations in the far east and appealing to the loyalty of the people to turn away from sedition and support the government, In order that the projected reforms may be carried out has proved profoundly disappointing to the liberals The latter believe that 1t will not only aggravate the existing critical situation. but is likely to pre- cipitate a veritable crisis If this is the Emperor's final response to the practi- cally unanimous demand of the intelli- gent classes for a voice in the govern ment They declare there can only be disaster. Empty praises cannot satisfy aspiration, nor can repression, If at tempted. be successful. Besides, noth- Ing could. in their opinion come at a more inopportune moment. as the work men, on the eve of the emancipation anniversary. are in . state of intense excitement, due to the refusal of the government to meet their ultimatum. and the public is already convinced that Gen. eral Kuropatkin has suffered another great defeat.
