SENSATION IS SPRUNG.
Chattanooga's Chief of Police Is Asked
 to Resign.

Chattanooga, Tenn, November S.-TheHe was a sensation that shook political, re- ligious and business circles today when T. s. Wilcox, chairman of the board of public safety and Chattanooga's Tam many Chief" demanded the immediate resignation of Chief of Police Fred w. Hill. The action is said to be based on the fight which Chief Hill has m&de to en- force the saloon laws, and stop gambling.
 According to the chief, MT. Wilcox told him today that the pressure brought E. the liquor men and their allied interests had become too strong to be resisted fur- ther
 Raids on the saloon at Lookout Inn last summer and the closing of the saloon at the fall fair last month made the liquor men determined to get him out at one, according to the chief.
 Chief Hill is a candidate for sheriff and 1t is said the churches of the city which are now holding union services will pass resolutions calling upon every believer in law and order to support him.
 John T. Mosely, captain of police, suc- ceeds to the position of chief.

Independent vOtinu.

Party ties are no longer controlling in the larger cities of the country. The elections of Tuesday confirm in that respect the testimony of previous conflicts in Chicago, Cleveland and Boston. William Travers Jerome was reelected district attorney in New York, although he was at first refused recognition by both of the big parties, and his name was printed on the off, cial ballot as that of an independent, standing by itself. Every one who voted for Jerome was compelled to search for his name and put a mark against it. The wonder is that 250,000 voters in a city full of foreign-born cit izens were equal to and willing to ex- ecute the task. In San Francisco Flu gene D. Schmitz was reelected against man who held the nominations of the democratic and republican parties. He readily won another term, and he car ried into otnce his entire ticket. He represents organized labor. MT. Hearst's vote of nearly 250,000 in New York is further evidence that party obligations rest lightly of late on the citizens of large towns.
 What is true of large towns will be- come true of lesser towns and finally of the rural districts. The farmer is the laggard in the hour of change. He is eminently conservative. but even the farmer will yet wake up to shake off corruption and political usurpation.

Joint Debate,

q see," said the ex-Atlantian, that pr. Broughton and ex-Dr. Thomas Dixon are not getting together very fast to hold a debate over the moral origin. affect and value of the drama. Dr. Broughton assued the chalange, but Dixon hesitates.
 "Dixon objects, first of all, to mascu- line hair a foot long, and he asks Dr. Broughton to go to a barber before he considers his challenge. It the time has come to put the shears into Dr. Brough- tons beautiful locks, Dixon says he will pay the barber's bill, provided he can have the hair which he needs for wigs among "The Clansman' supers
 "Altogether 1t is improbable that the proposed joint debate will occur at least not until another Dixon play is staged and travels the southern circuit. All thea trical men, even those new to the stage, appreciate the press agent"

early as 1908 their wisdom will be vindi- cated.
 The republican party is a party of op- portunists and office-seekers which large- ly owes it's existence to the control of it advocates cannot give it any stable control of the government. Every dem- ocrat in the United States today is re- joicing over the election of Pattison as governor of Ohio. It Is because he is d democrat and stood for democratic prin- ciples. As the case stands the line of the republican party is broken and from every standpoint the situation is encour- aging to democrats"
 Bowie We'll Satisfied.
 Representative Bowie of Alabama says the large democratic gains over the country are indicative of future demo- cratic success.
 the Ohio campaign" said MT Bowie, "gives us ground to hope that President Roosevelt may follow the Cleveland ex- ample and drive a chariot and four through his party. I am rejUfced at McClellan's election and am only sorry that he did not get a greater majority. He has made the best mayor New York has had in quarter of a century. The gains of the democrats in the Massachu- setts legislature shows a growth in sem timent for tariff reform. There is much hope if the democrats will make tariff the predominate issue and go before the people on it."

What the Visitors Spent.

"I estimate that between I,500,00O and 100000 was put in circulation in Bir- mingham by visitors during the ten days of the fair,' said a merchant.
 "Including the Roosevelt crowd and the circus crowd, 1t is safe to say that the number of out of town people who were here during a period of ten days reached fully 75,O00. Every visitor left money some $15. some s25 and many of them s10O or more. The average spent by indi- viduals was, perhaps, $25."

IN HOTEL LOBRIEs
An Act of Bravery.

T witnessed an act of bravery at the Moore Handley fire last night that I will not forget soon," said George At kinson. assistant superintendent of the railway department of the Birmingham Railway, Light and Power company, yes terday. When the first explosion oc- cured team of horses hitched to one of the hose wagons became frightened and started running up Twentieth street.
 U. R, Jordan, who lives in Port Gib- son, Miss, and who travels for a glass and crockery company, was standing near lie grabbed the bit of one of the horses and was dragged nearly a block before. he stopped them. I thought every minute that he would be injured beneath the horses feet.
 "Mr. Jordan stopped the team by him self and under the circumstances very few men would have taken the risk he did. Had the team been allowed to run, 1t might have injured some people in that immense crowd gathered to wit ness the fire and the animals might have broken up the wagon and hurt themselves.
 MT. Jordan is seemingly a trained athlete. He is well built and seemed to be active. He certainly exhibited all the qualities of an athlete in stopping the horses
 One of the horses hitcned to the wagon was large white animal and he showed almost human intelligence. He seemed to realize that MT. Jordans life was in danger. Although running away. the horse seemed to try not to step on the man who was hanging to it's bit. The horse could easily have stepped on Mir Jordan and killed him had 1t been inclined to be vicious, but, on the other hand, the animal showed a wonderful amount of sense"

COONS.
From the Baltimore Herald.

From the Baltimore Herald.
 The British officers who went along on the coon hunt in Anne Arundel county now have an idea what the great Ameri- can sport is like. Three coons were found in one tree. an unusual occurrence even in Anne Arundel county. where coons are plentiful.
 The autumn Is the best time for coon hunting, as the weather Is generally fa- vorable and elections are close at hand, which increase the interest and excite ment. Of late years, especially since the civil war, the coon has become in some respects more of an issue in the south than formerly. Coon hunting is now go- ing on actively in all the eastern shore and southern Maryland counties. Great results are expected in few days

REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR.

From the New York Press.
 Falling in love is easy; you have to dig your way out.
 Once in a while an honest man gets elected and the surprise kills him.
 Either girl thinks she has a swan like neck or that 1t is white and pure like marble
 About the only time a woman can have full faith in her husband is when nobody else has.
 Lots of girls think they have great tragedies In their lives when 1t is only from eating too many sweets.

MAN wandered through bleak valley. On either side of him

1 PDN valley On either side of him \ rose barren hills. their slopes strewn with boulders and their serrated tops etched in hard. unchanging lines on the sky. The man was a miner in search of gold Day after day he toiled on through the valley, prospecting on the hills, searching the waters of a stream that rushed along and delving in the earth for the precious metal which he valued more than life. He found grains of gold and small nuggets here and there, but they were barely sufficient to buy him food. The days became weeks the weeks months and the months years while the miner worked. Age began to encroach upon him, his frame bowed un- der the weight of time and always the pitiless mountains drowned down upon him. At last in an obscure spot the man found a nugget of priceless worth. He was rich. He toiled no more in the hills, but found employment in the fertile plains where he lived happily. The nugget was Contentment.
