MOOSE KILLED A COLT.
New Terror Threatens the peace OF
the Farmers of Maine.

New Terror Threatens the peace OF
the Farmers of Maine.
A correspondent of the Washington
Post at Fort Fairfield, Maine, says;
On Monday of last week a connection
was heard in a pasture where B. s.
Smith had Young colt and its
mother, and upon investigation it was
found that moose had visited the
pasture and killed the colt. The same
animal created considerable conster-
nation among some of the other far
mers in the town. He put in appear
ance in the field of Harry Kenny on
the east side of the river. Frightened
from there, he visited the field OF
Leonard Kenny. When driven from
there he rushed to the Slipp farm and
began racing through the field where
men were cultivating potatoes.
AS the moose appeared from behlnd
a large pile of rocks the horse attach
ed to the cultivator became frightened
and went on the run through the field,
tearing up potatoes. Leaving the
Slipp farm, the moose made for the
woods.

In the archives of the Cabergi fam
ily of Milan, in Italy there has recent
ly been brought to light a series Of
documents establishing the real his
torical basis upon which Shakespeare
constructed his romantic tragedy OF
"Ofhello," says the London Globe. The
Moor, it may be stated, was no Moor
or man of color at all, but young
Venetian nobleman of the Querini fam
lily, to which Desdemona likewise be-
longed. The marriage, in fact, was
one between cousins. It's tragical

HON. HOKE SMITH OUGHT TO BE
MORE EXPLICIT.
From the Brunswick Journal.

From the Brunswick Journal
In his speech at Dawson yesterday
Hon, Hoke Smith renewed his attack
on Governor Terrell for rendering a
iusticeship on the supreme court bench
to Hon. Hamilton McWhorter. He
was even more savage than usual over
that episode. But he was by no
means, as reported, explicit enough to
lift his denunciatiOn of the act above
the level of personal pique, or dema-
UOoism. either one of which motives
can alone account for 1T.
Who is Hamilton McWhorter that
anv governor of Georgia should not
offer him a place on the supreme court
bench? Mr.. Smith does not explain
TO the people wherein laid the incOm-
potency or the rascality of that gentle
man, and why the interests of the state
and the people would have been put in
peril bv his acceptance of the tender
ed appointment. He does not identify
Judge McWhorter with any acts, or
with any matchmaker, that would
have caused the people, as he asserts,
to have marched on Atlanta and
burned the capitol to the ground had
McWhorter accepted the prottered
place"
If Hon. Hoke Smith knows that the
people would have done the rebeliOus
and anarchic things he ought to tell
US why.
Judge McWhorter is a well-born,
well-bred Georgia gentleman, a grad
nate of the University of Georgia, and
for wears was one of it's trustees, has
served his people in the legislature
and as trustworthy, unimpeachable
Judge on the superior court bench.
Mr.. Smith can only impeach his quail
ifications by asserting that he has
been counsel for a railway corpora
ton. He has served his client we'll,
and it has rewarded him with dis
tinguished promotion. Could he have
done less and been a worthy member
of the profession? Would Mr.. Smith
have done less had he held Judge Nc
Whorter's office? We think not.
Had Judge McWhOrter accepted the
place on the supreme court bench he
would have resigned his Office with the
railroad, and that would have ended
anv obligation between them. And
had he done so the people of Georgia
would not have revOlted and burned
the capitol-no more than they would
if Hon. Hoke Smith, an anti-railrOad
and pro-railroad lawyer by turns,
should ever happen to be chosen gov
ernOr.
But Mr.. Smith should be more eX-
plicit with his charges, or the people
will estimate them only as political
rot.

THE MOSQUITO.

Goodness knows, his bite is bad
euouob. But the extent of evil of the
little mosquito isn't to stop there
Now they tell US that through the
MOSQUITO alone yellow fever is spread.
The stegomyia fasciata injects his bill
into infected blood and then blOodies
his Infection into other peoples veins,
huns on for a space and is at his
devilment again.
It hasn't been long since when the
MOSQUITO theory of yellow fever
spreading would have been greeted
with a ieer. In fact, it was hooted at
for a time by even men of science.
But now they say it has been .conclu-
sively proven. The man who scorns
its acceptance is rated as bigot or
fool.
All of which leads US to ask the
question, where is the thing going to
stop? Maybe, if stegomyia fasciata IS
dipping yellow fever out of folks and
dipping it into others, some other
muchlv-named mosquito is spreading
smallpox, measles or whooping cough.
Who can tell but that the innocent
sounding hum of the summer visitor
is really the song of siren that
doesn't lure but lights instead and
kills by innoculation rather than from
foam-covered rocks? It's a terrible
thing to contemplate. For if the mos
quito is such monster why can't the
gnat, fly or whatnOt be just as ter
rible? We repeat, where is it to end?
And how shall we escape the deadly
host of flying things?

THE political kettle is boiling not
only in Georgia, but in number OF
other southern states. Tennessee is
plunged into a senatorial campaign
that promises to be waged with heat
and even bitterness. The gOvernorship
over in Alabama will be warmly con-
tested by several candidates, it seems.
The famous jeff Davis is running
what many now say is a winning race
against Senator Berry. The sena-
torial toga will be eagerly scrambled
for next year in Mississippi. And there
are others. All in all it seems to be
the prevailing time for many people
to want other peoples offices. No in
deed, Georgia is not the only state
where politics are boiling.

than I've cast loose in years before.
You see, the Peters place lays
alongside of mine-houses not more'n
twenty-five feet apart A year ago it
was rented to some girls-graduates Of
an agricultural lunatic asylum that
does business as the La Plume Agri-
cultural college. Them graduates had
made scientific study of hens and
laid out TO show folks how a hen farm
ought to be run.
They landed on the Peters premises
with 100 Brown Leghorns, few tur-
keys and enough assurance to run q
county campaign. They discovered me
the first day, and a mighty fine discov-
cry to 'em I've proved to be. They be-
gun callin' me Uncle Mort" as soon
as they sighted me and acted like I'd
