A Man Without Friends.

Edwin Lefevre's article on Harri-
man in the June American Magazine
includes, of course, stories of Harri-
mans brusqueness. According to the
following testimony, introduced by
Mr.. Lefevre, Hartman has no friends:
"a Ean who is perhaps Mr.. Harri-
mans closest associate said once, when
his partner suggested that some
friend of Mr.. Hartman ought to speak
to him frankly on the unwisdom of bis
lack of tact: Friend? don't believe
that Hartman hiss q friend in the
worldp The man who said this is O
very great financier who has been in,
and has had an active interestin, every

Here's an Anti-Jug Law that'II Hold.

Lebanon, Tenn, June 10.-The
board of mayor and aldermen of this
city today passed an anti-iug law,
which, while it does not in terms pro-
hibit the importation of liquor into the
corporate limits OF the town, it de-
signed to accomplish the purpose along
other lines-that of stringent regula.
tion.
There has been much doubt as to
the constitutionality of law passed by
other towns on this subject, but the
ordinance as passed by the Lebanon
council today is said to be beyond any
doubt as to its constitutionality. II
was drawn by Attorney General Wal.
ter Faulkner and DR.. Andrew B. Mar
tin, of the Lebanon law school.
The law provides that any firm, in
dividual or corporation who shall i'm.
port any intoxicating liquors into this
city must have same registered at the
city recorders office, and pay thereon
a tax OF 81 before it can be taken out
that the express agent shall report tc
the city recorder the names OF both
consignee and consignor Of every
package shipped here, and penalties
are provided for violation of the ordin
ance.

SLAPPED NORTHERNER'S FACE
Tennessee Veteran ResentS Sights Put
Upon COnfederateS in General and Re-
Dukes Ill-Mannered New Yorker.

An interesting not to say sensational
incident of the reunion became known
to few persons to-day. According to
the story, prominent Tennessee vet
eran, Rush Pearson, figured as the he
ro of the affair.
According to the story, Pearson and
several old soldiers were in a store on
Broad street, when a New Yorker,
whose name was not learned and who
evidently had been drinking, began
making himself disagreeable cursing
and applying even more offensive de-
pithets to confederate soldiers in gen.
eral. FINALLY Pearson, becoming dis
gusted, approached the northerner and
catching him by one ear with one hand
with the other soundly slapped bis
jaws and rebuked him for his often sive
and gratuitous insults. The man did
not resent the slap.
The conclusion of the incident was
the expression of commentator and
appreciation of Comrade Pearson's 8 act

A SCURVY FALSE PRETENSE.

Mr.. Sheath, the Republican ma
chine candidate for State Treasurer
is ostentatiously vehement in de-
nouncing the capital grafters
"There is no punishment too Sc
we're for them" he declared in his
speech at Emaus on Saturday, aud
in his Williams Grove speech he
was even more explicit. But he
was speaking i'll a Pickwickian
sense. He knows that his election
means no punishment rather than
severe punishment. He under
stands that Penrose never would
have consented to his nomination
if he favored the punishment of the
looters and that Gumshoe Andrews
would betray him if he had the
slightest notion that he favors the
punishment of those pets of the ma
chine.
John O. Sheatz is literally the
product OF the Penrose machine.
A more servile tool OF the machine
has never occupied a seat i'll the
Legislature. He was permitted to
dodge the vote on some bills which
the machine favored and to vote
against others. But such indul-
gence was only allowed when there
was no doubt of safe majority.
On the ''press muzzler," and the
bill to take the authority of film &
vacancies on the election boards out
Of the hands of the courts and lodg
ing it in the County Commission
ers, he voted with the gang and on
the Kingston water snake and other
notoriously vicious measures he lin
ed up with Rip and Call and Salus
and Shern. His nomination for
State Treasurer is his recompense
for such servile work.
Mr.. Sheath is also fond of refer
ring to his work in increasing the
appropriation for the public schools
from Sill 900, 900 to SIS, 900, 900.
As matter of fact he had very lit
tie to with that and during his two
previous sessions in the Legislature
made no suggestion of an increase
in the school appropriation. The
country members, led by William
7. Greasy, have been urging an in
crease of the school fund for sever
al years but got neither sympathy
nor support from the city men.
Last fall the matter was made an
issue in the campaign and yet the
Republican majority reluctantly
yielded to the demands of the
countrymen. Sheath is indulging
in a rather scurvy false pretense in
this matter.-BelAetone Wahchman.

Postmaster General Won Meyer
has been talking shop to his friends
and constituents up i'll New Eng
land. He is a gentleman who has
spent very little time in Washing
ton. In fact the people in the de.
partments have scarcely had a
chance to get acquainted with him.
But he has picked up several no
tions about running the Post -office
Department, and being a very ad-
hesive gentleman, is apt to stick to
them. For one thing, he is strong
ly i'll favor of parcels post. This
is thing that the country has long
needed and that it would have had
many years ago had it not been for
the express companies. They OBJ
ject to the government carrying
parcels cheaply for the public when
they can tax that same public
heavily for the service. He is also
strongly in favor of postal savings
banks, and this is a thing even
more to the advantage especially of
rural communities. The savings
bank has grown and prospered i'm
mensely i'll this country in the past
few years, and it is claimed that
postal banks not only would eX-
tend the savings system but would
scarcely interfere at all with the
savings banks already established.
The rural free delivery is another
thing that Mr.. Won Meyer has much
at heart, and he has plans for its
extension that probably will please
the rural communities when they
are divulged and will make the
next Congress sit up and take no.

Morad through the head, killing

Bordner later packed his clothes

Bordner as he was about to leave.
Mystery now wells the case, 1t
is claimed that the shooting was
accidental, and yet two bullets were

The case was heard Monday by a

court.
