c. H. Toy was professor of Greel 'o that institution. He was intimately s3 quainted with Broadus style, as well as with mine. He had doubtless read from each of us enough to make a considerable volume. He accordingly sent the Her ald' an "open letter to Professor C. II. Toy of Harvard. In that letter he said: T have not read your book. but I have read a review of 1t in the Religious Her tld. This review Is evidently candid and fair. and though 1t Is not signed, I am sure 1t is from the pen of Dr. John A. Broadus. 1 am familiar with his style and have been accustomed to comparing styles all my llfe.'
 The editor was obliged to leave out this part of the "open letter." and to inform the writer that Dr. Broadus had never seen a line of the editorial re- view, until 1t was printed in the Her aid.

events of our own time. Abraham Lln- coin was sworn to support and defend the constitution of the United States. That constitution recognizes slaves to be the lawful property of their masters, and provides that they are to be delivered up to their lawful owners, whenever the said owners call for their rendition, even though they have escaped into a free state. Besides MT. Lincoln, in his in augural address distinctly and emphati- cally pledged himself not to interefere with the institution of slavery, as 1t then existed in the southern states of the union; and he clearly proclaimed that he had neither the will nor the power to free a slave But, in order to liberate the slaves, he must have had both the will and the power: consequently the slaves never were emancipated." ''Well,' replied Broadus. that is good modern instance"

 A ing a game; the character of na- ton displays itself in the nature of the game played. Cricket Is the national game in England; baseball in America; their points of resemblance and their points of difference correspond exactly with the resemblance and differences between the two peoples.
 No need to tell the American how the game of baseball Is played, but to a person who sees the game for the first time the salient features presented are these: Two men, one of whom Is armed with a club, the other with a small com mon ball and nine or ten other men standing at a safe distance to observe the effects of the duel between these two gladiators. Close behind the man with the club is another man, padded and armor-plated from ankle to shoulder, his head encased In divers helmet the front of which is heavily barred like a jail window. while the face behind the bars gives one the impression that the wearer is the original Prisoner of Chil- lon.

~ DON after the publication of Rob-
 ertson Smiths work on "The O Prophets of Israel" l happened to meet John A. Broadus, and in the course of our conversation on some mat ters of Biblical criticism, which had then recently come to the front, said: "I can take Robertson Smiths principles, and prove that slavery has never been abolished in this country Well" said Broadus, Let's hear your argument" That argument ran thus: Robertson Smith points out the fact that the funda- mental laws of the Hebrew people, as set forth in the Pentateuch. were by no means carefully observed by Samuel, David and other Hebrew worthies, who lived long after the days of Moses; and therefore those laws could not have been known until a much later period than that to which they are tradition ally ascribed; for we can hardly believe that the Hebrew statesmen and prophets systematically ignored, and constantly violated the we'll known fundamental law of the land.

 It was as peaceful citizen that Double head. ir the early years of the last cen tury. took up his residence six miles northwest of Florence, on magnificent tract of land, now known as the Jack son place. A more ideal site for a coun- try home is not to be found in the state of Alabama and scarcely in the south. The wigwam of the chief was located on a high plateau, covered with evergreens and magnificent forest trees, through which winding road led to the level beneath. A drive then of perhaps a quarter of a mile over land level as a table, led to the front gate. The es- tate, when 1t passed from the hands of the heirs of Double-head in 1879 con- sisted of TOO acres, except for the hill on which the house was located, as level as a floor, and surrounded almost by the waters of Big and Little Cypress creeks.
 Double head abused his official position In 1895 by secretly securing for himself this valuable reservation in land for which he sacrificed a large portion of

 Born at Memphis, Tenn, in 1854, his mother died when he was a child, and his father fell at the head of his regi ment, the Twenty Tennessee, at Shiloh, before his gifted son had told his eighth year Then 1t was that his fam fly sought refuge from the advancing Union arms and took on their abode at his mothers family homestead, in the Yazoo delta, in Mississippi.

a better education than most youths of family and fortune at the south of 'lis generation: He attended the Kentucky Military Institute at Frankfort; he was at the University of the South at Se vance; he was at the University of Nir ginia at Charlottesville, and at the Unl- Versity of Heidelberg in Germany. Sub sequently he studied law at the Univer- sty of Virginia, and in the office of leading law firm of his native Memphis. In 1878, having been admitted to the bar, he returned to Mississippi and opened an office al Yazoo.
 Young Williams spent several years In Europe a part of the time at Dijon, In Burgundy, where Bonaparte fixed tho Headquarters of that phantom army with which he mystifed his adversaries Just before Marengo, and there Williams was q student of branch of the College de France. but his purpose was more to per feet himself Tn the language of the French tongue and familiarize himself with the literature of the French people than to take the regular course. He travelled much on the continent, and gen orally on foot. which Is the best way to see q country and study q people. He Is what Bailey Is not, man of rich imag- ination, and the historic lands on both sides of the Rhine were more to nm than the mere story of their history has told Such a man as John Sharp VII Hams could not have fingered in the vicinity of the classic river without re- fiecting of the time when Julian In those very precincts mediated a reform of the bloated and cancerous Roman Empire. and asked himself the question Is our re- public shall go the way of the Roman commonwealth. No doubt 1t was rehec- ton on ancient and modern story Tn DOT derlands of Latin and Tueton that was the germ of that magnificent philosophlc oration Williams delivered on the Phil ippine question in the Fifty-seventh Con gress and that was surpassed by no other speech on that subject In Congress or out of Congress, not even by the great effort of George r. Hoar fin the Senate
 Upon Williams return home he found there was considerable confusion ana some embarrassment In the condition or the matrimonial estate. He instantly de- veloped into q business man, ana TOT about eight years his eye was constantly on his plantations. Under like conditions many men reared as he was, would have let things drift. hoping for something to turn up Not so with this young south erner. He practiced law, but he was also il planter He brought business meth- ods to the plantation. Economy ana thrift resulted There was discipline and order everywhere. He bought supplies with judgment and saw to 1t that there was no waste. He made his plantations nroetahle nj time when there was small profit in planting, even under the most favorable conditions. and disaster was the rule rather than the exception in the cotton states. After time ne lifted the debt from the estate, He was now in independent circumstances, leading lawyer, a successful planter, and a prosperous man.

gallery on the Senate of the Sixty-ffrst Congress something less than twenty months in the future. 1 hope to see The odore Roosevelt sworn in a member on that occasion. l would like to see William J. Bryan 8 senator. Gives these gentlemen two years service and then re-enforce the Senate with John Sharp Williams and Edward Ward Carmack and the layout would be greatly im- proved In the Senate a new member Is taken apart to see what he is made of. If there Is a flaw it will be found. His skeleton is hung up to every gaze and 1t takes a mighty considerable fellow to stand the thing. Billy Mason came here some years ago, and they said he would laugh the Senate out of it's boots. He tried it and the Senate froze him in his boots, and he never thawed during the entire six years though he had been a bowling success in the House. And yet the Senate loves to laugh. Carmack made it laugh. but the Senate will not stand for horseplay
 A debate on general politics participat- ed in by Roosevelt, Bryan, Carmack, Foraker, Williams, Lodge, Tillman, Bailey, and Beverldge, and lasting a week. would be worth a journey around the world to see and hear. What a power of good it would do Roosevelt! And Bryan, too would learn a deal he does not now know. Mind would clash with mind, wit with wit, knowledge with knowledge. The list of killed and crip- pied would be frightful on this theatre, where none but hard knocks count I would like to see Roosevelt give Bailey or Carmack a lesson on constitution by construction. I would like to hear Will Hams and Beveridge on opposing sides of the scope and force of the tenth amendment I would like to be present when Tillman and Foraker clash on .he constitutional right of the south to vote the democratic ticket
 Of that list John Sharp Williams is sec ond to none in debate. Bailey is a great CT lawyer, Carmack a more brilliant de- batter, Lodge a more studious scholar, Beveridge a more indefatigable worker; but as an all-round man In a political le- bate John Sharp Williams is the equal of the best of them. His Is a powerful mind, cultured in the best schools of both hemispheres; his acquired knowl- edge Is varied and extensiye; he is ready as Carmack himself; like Captain Colepepers bulldog, "he never sprang but at the throat''-vide the lacerated gullet of the Hon. Littauer. who had charge of ship subsidy the last session. Not only is John Sharp Williams democrat in principle; but he Is the most thorough democrat in demeanor since old Bill Nor rison left here. For this he has been harshly criticised; but his career shows that a great man is only the greater for a simplicity that makes him lovable.
 It was in December, 19o3 that John Sharp Williams was chosen leader of the minority in Congress. succeeding to the place formerly held by Richardson, Bailey Crisp. Mills, Carlisle and Morri- son. Since the first convocation of the Fifty-third Congress the democratic side has been mob. Crisp did not live long enough to show how hopeless his leader ship would prove; but Bailey, an abler man, failed lamentably. simply for the

of the cussing democrats have thrown at John Sharp Williams. He has con strued his office to mean to lead, and he has led in the main. No doubt he mas made mistakes, but he is the ablest man in the House and the best debater on Capitol Hill. The envy 1t excites IS the best test of superiority
