THE DEATH OF J. W rooney.

The announcement yesterday of the
death of j. VIII Roney was not sur

when it was fully realized that the
last spark of life had actually gone
out. There were few men in Rich.

was none who was held in higher es-

his passing Is the source of sincere re-

ney was a most agreeable and charm
ing man. Full of animation, he was
always the life of any social gathering
at which he was present. In bust
ness, he was courteous and honorable.
In both social and business relations
he was one of the few men who al

The RisI In the River.


1t is little short of astonishing to
see how little water is required to fioat
the southern river steamers, boat
loaded with perhaps q thousand bales
of cotton slipping along contentediy
where boy could wade across the
stream. Once, however, the Chatta-
hoochee got too low for even her light
draft commerce, and at Gunboat
shoals a steamer grounded. As the
drinking water on board needed re-
plenishing, deck hand was sent ashore
with a couple of water buckets. Just
at this moment northern traveller APP
preached the captain of the boat, and
asked him how long he thought they
would have TO stay there.
"Oh, only until that man gets back
with a bucket of water to pour into
the river" the captain replied. Pres
emily the deck hand returned, and the
stale water from the cooler was
emptied overheard. Instantly. to the
amazement of the traveller, the boat
began to move
well, If that doesn't beat thunder.
he gasped.
The fact was that the boat, touching
the bottom, had acted as dam, and
there was soon backed up behind her
, enough water to lift her over the shoal
and send her GA down the stream

John Doe Proceedings.

"John Doe" proceedings were abol-
ished by law in Great Britain in 1852.
Previous to that time John Doe had
figured in the old fashioned ejectment
action for the recovery Of the posses
sion of land, together with damages
for the wrongful withholding thereof.
For various reasons of convenience
and history dating from the reign of
Edward Ill. A did not proceed against
directly in such a case. Instead A
delivered to an entirely false state
ment from the fictitious John Doe"
that A had devised the land to John
for term of years, and John" had
been ousted from it by the equally
fictitious Richard Roe" Then Rich
ard informed B that he~was not going
to defend the action himself, but B
must do it, and so on. Occasionally.
by way of variety, John Doe" gave
place to one "Goodtitle."

Can Such Thinqs Be?

That the Standard Oil system" en-
ploys a marvellous secret service in
many of the leading cities of the Unit
ed States, whereby it defies the nation
and hunts down and destroys its com
petitors, is the gist of special dis
patch to the Chicago Tribune from
Philadelphia. The dispatch says in
part:
1--WE are bigger than the government.
Standard Oil is stronger than the Unit
ed States. We own the senate anu
house. If you pursue your investiga-
tons beyond the point necessary TO
fool the public we will have you re-
moved. We can secure the instant de-
position of the secretary of commerce
and labor, Mr.. Metcalf, and the com
missioner Of corporations, Mr.. Garfield.
If you prosecute us in the slightest de-
gree you will be out of your job, and
if you keep at the business you will
find out that what we say is absolutely
true"
Agents OF the government were con-
fronted at the outset by evidence OF
the existence of extraordinary secret
machinery of the Standard Oil Co.
They discovered that it covers the
United States and probably extends in
to foreign countries. Ii was organized
and operated in the first place TO pre-
vent jobbers and retailers from cut
ting prices.
Government agents have shown and
have so reported to the secretary of
commerce and labor that whoever sells
shade off the market price is invar-
iably caught and punished according to
the code of the system"
This secret service is said to be more
complete. more INSCRIPTIONS, and more
far-reaching than anything which has
ever been known before in this cOun
try.
Rockefeller is a bigger man than
Roosevelt, was the constant cry of
the Standard Oil people not only in

Etiauette of Other DAYS.

An old manual of etiquette shows
that the reople of bygone days were
not so different from those of the
present, for the treatise thinks 1t
necessary to state that one should
never ask a friend where she bought
her gown and the uttermost farthing
of its cost. To this rule, however, an
astonishing exception is made. One
might ask these things, it seems, If
one really wanted to get a gown ex-
actly like the one in question and
were therefore asking sincerely for in
formation. Evidently in these days,
when sisters thought it smart to dress
exactly alike, it was considered a
compliment to copy a friends gown.
Another interesting statement OF this
precious manual is that no lady looks
worse than when "gnawing bone"

THE WOMAN WHO LACKS GRACE
Has Missed Useful Friend and Power
full Benefactor, Saws Writer,

1t is greater drawback to a woman
to lack graciousness than it is for a
man, as far as society is concerned.
for it is in the daily little matters of
social life that it is most felt and the
most missed.
1t is not, however, only in her own
house and her place as the hostess
that lack Of graciousness in speech and
manner is drawback, says the Phila-
delphia Inquirer.
Wherever her lot may be cast. and
among whatever people-whether she
is placed in a subordinate position or
is at the head of affairs, whether she
is rich or poor, an idler or worker, at
the beginning of life's journey or well
on the upward road. it is the same.
If she lacks this gift she has missed
useful friend and powerful benefac-
tor. Without it she certainly may get
on, but with it she is almost sure to do
so, and at the same time will gain
friends and win affection.
