Hen and Horse Companions.

McKeever (N. Y.) Dispatch to New York
 World.
 Henry Ransome, a farmer living near here. has a leghorn hen year and half old, which is never happy unless it is near horse he uses for general farm work. The attachment is mutual and strong, and where you find one you are pretty sure to find the other.
 A year ago last spring biddy made a nest in Dobbins manager and refused to get out. As the horse offered no ob- jections, MT. Ransome left the hen un- disturbed, and in due time she matched out a fine block of chicks. It was one of this flock that took a shine to Dobbn. At first the horse didn't pay much atten- tion to the little one. but after a time, as he seemed to miss it when it was shut up in the hen house, it was given the run of the barn.
 When Dobbin went into the field to work the chicken followed, always keep ing in sight of the horse. and when the work was done it returned and roasted on the headstill. This kept up for many weeks, and all the time the attachment grew stronger. Finally one day MT. Ransome's road mare went lame, and he drove old Dobbin to the village. Before starting he shut up the hen, but she ma IT. aged to get loose and start in pursuit. Helped by her wings, she made fast time, and when Mir Ransome was about a mile from home he found her trailing at the wheel. Since then she has accom- panied Dobbin on the road as well as in the fields.

that it was the varsity aggregation of that college. The Anniston synodieal college played the local team to stand stil, neither side being able to score This was the only game of the season in which the High school did not come out victorious.
 On the lineup of the team are sey- eral men in whom there is future coll lege material. Estes. the captain, is a star for his age and size. Haley, as tackler. is superb, while Hertzeheld, as a ground gainer, will make good in fast company some of these days. streit, who is a lneman, is made of the same stock from which came Will Street an old Auburn star. Bethea and McCrossin are valuable ends Winge. Moffet Wit tiehen, Powell and Mckinney are stout men in the line, strong on the defensive and aggressive when their backfield has the ball. Cobb, back. is speedy and a valuable ground gainer.
 The team as a whole is a star aggre- gation of youngsters, who will make fu- ture stars for Alabama and Auburn. The bunch was excellently coached this season by skinny" Lanier, who starred last season as an end on the Alabama team and who will, in all probability, make the Sewanee team next season.

ROOT SPEAKS AT
 HAY MEMORIAL
JEWISH PEOPLE HONOR DlPLO- MATS MEMORY BY ERECTION OF MONUMENT IN KENESSETH ISRAEL TEMPLE.

Philadelphia, December 2.-Lauded as d diplomat who tempered statecraft with the golden rule, the late John Hay was honored by the Jewish people of this city today when handsome monument to the dead secretary was unveiled at Kenesseth Israel temple. Attended by Secretary Elihu Root, Isaac Strauss re- gently named by President Roosevelt as secretary of commerce and labor, and Andrew D. White, ex-minister to Russia and Germany, together with six members of the Hay family, the exercises were among the most striking ever held in d Jewish synagogue.
 The members of the family who were present were Mrs. Payne Whitney and Mrs. James Wadsworth of New York; daughters of the late secretary; Clarence Hay, son; Arthur Hay of Washington, a nephew, and Mir. and Mrs. Samuel Mather brother-in-law and sister of Mrs John Hay. Secretary Strauss made the introductory address. MT. White delivered an historical eulogy of the dead states man. MT. Root, who made the chief ad- dress, concluded as follows.
 "The instinct of Lincoln's genius diyine1 d kindred spirit in his young secretary and there in the silent watches of the night and in daily companonship was moulded and inspired the character of our friend
 He has lived noble life; he has fought the good fight as Lincoln would have wished and through the long series of the passing years the spirit of the great euancipator, the strong, the just, the compassionate. has wrought nightly m the work of his great disciple for justice and mercy, for freedom and peace for the oppressed and forsaken on the earth. So in this temple of our God who hath made all men in His image, we unveil a memor- ial set up in honor of one who also gave his life for his country and humanity"

ISSUES ANSWER TO
 SENATOR WARREN
MYENDORFF, WHO IS IN TROUBLE ABOUT UTAH LAND CASES, MAKES PUBLIC AFFIDAVIT ON ON THE SUBJECT.

Portland, Ore. December 2--Michael Myendorff, special agent, who returned
 to Portland yesterday from Salt Lake, has made a statement in reply to United States Senator Warren of Wyoming. MT.
 Myendorff begins with statement of those portions of the affidavit made by fiim before the interstate commerce com-
 mission at Salt Lake, referring to MT.
 Warren and to which Warren takes ex- captions. He continues:
 If he (Warren is correctly quoted, he asserted, that in my letter to him l de- soribed myself as being an old soldier of the civil war. This statement was never made by me, and it would have Teen absurd for anybody to have made
 any declaration of that character The records of the state department show that
 it was in 1865 that Abraham Lincoln ob-
 tained my release from exile in Siberia,
 and that I did not arrive in this country
 until 1866, a year after the close of the
 civil war.
 ! "Furthermore, I never solicited Sena- tor Warren or anyone else for the posi-
 ton of a special agent in charge of a
 place on the consular service.
 | MT. Warren is also quoted as saying ] that he never read any private letters of
 mine addressed to Commissioner Rich
 ards I never said he did. What l did say, | however. as is proved by the foregoing 1 quotations from my affidavit, was that i the senator read me extracts from let | ters which l had addressed to the com missioner of the general land office These letters were official and not private com i munications and they never have been | designated as private letters by any ! body to my knowledge except by Senator | Warren himself.
 Senator Warren speaks of having read | in the Denver newspaper of Myendorff S | attempt to commit suicide.
 "I am surprised that the senator would i circulate such a ridiculous story. It is | a fact easily susceptible of substantial ! proof that I made no attempt to commit 1 suicide at Denver or at any other place ! for that matter. If the senator believes, f however. that a trumped-up suicide story i has any bearing on the coal land frauds ! in this state, I will gladly furnish him 1 any evidence that he may need to sat- 1 isfy himself on that point"

CUBAN CONGRESSMEN TO
 BE WITHOUT OFFICES

i that there may be at the same time an election of the successors without short enlng the terms, thus avoiding the neces- sity for two elections. The salaries of busted members will be paid to October F, the date fixed by the peace commis- sion.
 Governor Magoon explained to the mem- bers of congress that he considered it only fair and courteous to submit to them the terms of the decree prior to it's formal promulgation so they might decide whar attitude they desired to assume. The de- cree probably will be promulgated tomar- row. It will declare the last election to be not illegal. but will say that 1t $ an- nulled in accordance with terms of com promise arranged by the peace commits sion, under which the rebels were induced to lay down their arms. After the cen- ference, former Minister of the Treasury Font Y. Sterling, Senator Dolz and othe- moderates expressed strong dissatisfaction with the terms of the decree which they declared was unfair, but they said they recognized the futility or any protest. Gen. Ris Rivera, eX-secretary or the 1n- terior said tonight to the Associated Press that he realized the decree merely carried out an obligation of the 9eace commissioners, but he greatly deplorad it, believing it's effect would be disas- trous. He has said he was rrm Ill tae belief that the only means of estab- fishing peaceful conditions consist Tn she election of an entirely new congress, whereas the proposed election which would result in turning over the govern ment to liberal control, would surely re- suit in new instruction the moment American troops were withdrawn from the island.

As future material for colleges to pick a varsity team from, the Birmingham High school aggregation offers splendid subject for mature consideration.
 The members bf that team have won for themselves r4putations unequalled by any other aggregation of the same class In the South. When the High school defeated the Montgomery Athletic club last week, the feather which has been worn throughout the present season took on a more lustriJus hue and waved more dehantly.
 The High schSol team has played six games this season, and won them all save one. Owanton college alone was able to cross their goal In connection with this game the coach, manager and captain of the High school team resent the statement that it was Owenton's sec ond team that was defeated.

Farmer" Burns May Again
 Become American Champion

to take is to issue challenge to Beel, and beat him. That Beel or Goteh' either. would have their hands full with the Farmer is unquestioned, and as 1t is believed that Beel won the cham pionship when Gotch was not in perfect condition. the chances of the local favor ite seem good.
 It is not believed that Beel is better man than Gotch although it is unn1is- takably true that his match against the champion was a superb one It Is re- ported officially that Beel won the third fall after the champion had recovered from a blow that rendered him uncon- scious
 It Is fact of importance, however, that the south has furnished mat for the development of a new athletic champion of national reputation. In the south, Birmingham and New Orleans are cer- tainly the wrestling centers.
