cuSiors Erencr, MARKET.

There is a curious old market near
Paris in which everything is sold at
secondhand. Working girls can fit
themselves out there from head to
foot. AS writer says: Mimi can sell
her old felt hat and buy straw one,
exchange her old dress for new one
and, if she likes, buy steak and a
salad for her dinner, a paper bag Of
fried potatoes, sweets ard some flow
ers for her window. Democracy is king
here, and no more attention is paid to
the millionaire who is looking for
something marvellous which he may
pick up cheap than to the man with
wooden leg who wants new boot in
exchange for a dozen sardine tins, FIVE
gloves and stocking.

forward, but stopped suddenly before

August,

august" the name Of the month, is
accented on the first syllable. "Au-
gust" the adjective, is accented on the
second syllable This is due, no doubt,
to the fact that, though both started
from the Latin augustus" they have
arrived by different routes. The ad-
iective Is the French "auguste,'' while
august" cosnmemorating the Roman
emperor's title, is the French "aout'
and the middle English "augst' Or
"aust.'' "July" used to rhyme with
"duly." even in Johnson's time, as it
had done centuries earlier and as it
does in southern Scotland to this day.

COBALT DEPOSITS
OF HICKMAN
THOMAS EDISON, ELECTRICAL
WIZARD, MAKING PERSONAL
INVESTIGATION.

CENTREVILLE, Tenn, June H.
No less a parsonage than Thomas A.
Edison, the electric wizard, is in Hick-
man county looking for mineral with
which he proposes to revolutioniZe
lighting and heating. He arrived at
Nunnelly yesterday and was met by
Mr.. Walter Nunnelly, who drove with
him to Vernon, thence to Spot, in the
vicinity of which is located the min
eral wanted. For some months Mr..
Edison has had an agent, Mrs. John
Morris, from his laboratory in New
Jersey, looking for cobalt in Hickman
county. Numerous specimens of the
mineral have been forwarded to Mr..
Edison, and as a result of investiga-
tion, he announces that the cobalt In
Hickman is superior in quality to any
yet discovered in the world, and his
coming is for the purpose of ascer-
tanning the quantity. That he should
leave his laboratory to climb the
rocky hills in this county is evidence
that he is confident of finding the sub
stance which he so long has sought.
He is reported to have said if the CO.
bait found is of sufficient quantity he
can heat and light buildings for the
small cost of 60 cents per month. In
this event, John D. Rockfeller's coal
oil trust would be put out of business,
but it would be a godsend to the COM
mon people. The result of Mr.. Edi-
sons trip is awaited with keen inter-
est

John Morris, his brother-in-law, and

KILLED TUES
DAY AFTERNOON
WILL BROWN STRUCK LEWIS
HEWLIN WITH A ROCK, DEATH
ENSUING IN A FEW
HOURS.
Killing Occurred Near College Hill.
Brown Surrendered.

Lewis Hewlin, colored, was struck
in the head with a rock late Tuesday
afternoon by Will Brown, another neg
70, and died from his injuries a few
hours later.
The killing occurred in an alley
known as Water street, out about two
hundred yards southeast of the tan
yard, just in front of a cabin occupi-
ed by both negroes. 1t is hard to get
at the exact details, but it appears the
negroes had had some light trouble
day or two before the difficulty.
Tuesday afternoon Hewlin is said to
have been drinking and to have come
in the house cursing. Browns mother
in-law, who also lives in the house,
asked Hewlin to stop his cursing or
leave the house He went outside the
front gate and in few minutes neigh
bors claim to have heard Hewlin and
Brown quarrelling in the narrow alley
in front of the house. In few minutes
blow was heard and the neighbors
rushed to the doors to see Hewlin
lying on the ground and Brown stand
ing over him. Brown is said to have
raised Hewlin up from the ground a
few feet and after looking at him to
have observed: We'll, your are gone,
and so am l." and to have departed at
rapid gait, but appeared at the City
Hall this morning, surrendered and
was lodged in Jail.
He claims that he had no intention
of killing Hewlin. That the latter
raised a quarrel over a trivial matter
and he left the house to avoid trouble.
That Hewlin followed him, rock in one
hand and knife in the other, and re-
newed the quarrel. That finally to pro-
tect himself from violence he struck
Hewlin with a rock, but had no idea
the blow would even result in serious
injury. The rock happened to strike
Hewlin in the temple.
Both negroes have been doing some
work for the city. Hewlin was about
forty-fve years of age and Brown
about twenty-five. Brown came to Co
lumbia from Nashville. A brother Of
Browns was struck by lightning and
killed in Nashville Sunday.
After Hewlin's body was picked up,
small pocket knife was found lying
by his side unopened.

BERLAND PHONE CO.
City Dads Vow the Company ISM
Paying Its Share of Taxes and
Order 1t to Remove Poles
and Wires.

TULLAHOMA, Tenn, June 12.-At
the meeting of the Board of Mayor
and Aldermen Monday evening, AL
derman Lee Hudson, Chairman of the
special committee appointed at the
last meeting to look into the matter
of the assessment of the Cumberland
Telephone & Telegraph Company
made his report and offered the fol
lowing resolution, which was passed
unanimously:
Whereas, the Cumberland Tele-
phone & Telegraph Company is using
the streets. alleys, ETC., of Tullahoma
for its private use and to the exclu-
sion of the free passage of the citi-
zens of the town; and,
Whereas, the said Telephone &
Telegraph Company do not pay an
equitable tax toward maintenance of
the streets, alleys, ETC., not bearing
it's proportion of the city government,
and under the State statutes the city
cannot assess and collect the same
from the said corporation; and,
Whereas, the said company Is in
sense a usurper and has no fran
chise rights to said streets, alleys,
etc, therefore,
BE it resolved, that this Board pass
an ordinance prohibiting the erection
or maintenance of poles, wires, ETC.,
upon the streets, alleys, ETC., of the
town Of Tullahoma, and that the said
Cumberland Telephone & Telegraph
Company be ordered to remove all
poles, wires, etc., of said town; and
prescribe suitable punishment for
failure to comply with said ordinance,
and to repeal any laws or ordinances
in conflict with such an ordinance"
There is a well settled sentiment
that the Cumberland Company is not
paying anything like fair equivalent
for the privilege of doing business in
Tullahoma. The amount assessed
against the company for this year is
only $3S and heretofore the assess
ment has been $3.50 per annum, and
this in a town of about $500 inhabi-
tants and where they have a very
heavy patronage, collecting monthly
from the exchange office, SO it is stat
ed. between $3.50 and $1,000. There
is no disposition on the part of the
authorities or citizens to do any wrong
to the company, but simply to compel
1t to act fairly with the municipality.
The service of the company here has
always been good aud the officials are
uniformly polite ana accommodating,
titre being no complaint so far as
known; but it is just plain business
proposition of the amount of taxes
the company shall pay for the privi-
lege enjoyed

MONEY FOR
SAN FRANCISCO
DELEGATION FROM THAT CITY
SEES THE PRESIDENT.
Seeking to Secure Large Sum to Pro-
vide Shelter for the Homeless.
Two Plans Proposed.

WASHINGTON June ia dele
cation of San Francisco business men
in Washington to enlist Government
aid for that stricken city, called on
President Roosevelt today to present
to him their plans. The delegation
went from the White House to the
Capitol, where the members discussed
the subject with Senators and Repre-
sentatives. The city of San Francisco
has issued bonds to the amount of
S17000,000. About $4,000 900 of these
have been sold. They bear 31s per
cent interest. 1t is proposed by the
delegation that the Secretary of the
Treasury accept the remaining $13,000,-
900 bonds as security for National
Banks deposits. This will relieve the
situation in San Francisco materially.
The proposition appeals strongly to
both the President and Secretary
Shaw. 1t has already been considered
by the President and the Secretary and
may be accepted.
Another plan suggested by the dele
cation is that the Government loan
100000 to the people of San Fran
cisco on the security of clearinghouse
banks of the city, the loan to extend
for ten years. Assurance is given by
the delegation that the principal and
interest will be met promptly, and
that the Government cannot lose a
dollar by the transaction. The mon
ey is to be used in erecting suitable
shelter for homeless citizens before
next winter. The money, 1t is suggest
ed, would be handled by the clearing
house banks of San Francisco on Just
such security as they would ordinarily
accept from patrons. It would be nee
essary for Congress to authorize such
a loan.
The President indicated that he
would take it under advisement.
