PROHIBITION LAW
NEXT MOVEMENT
DR.. E. E. FOLK OUTLINES
WORK OF LEAGUE.
HARD TIMES AHEAD FOR THE RUMMlES
IN THE GOOD OLD STATE
OF TENNESSEE.

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, Oct. 25.
From statement made by DR.. E.
E. Folk, of Nashville, President Of the
Anti Saloon League of Tennessee, in
his address delivered at the opening
session of the annual meeting of the
league yesterday afternoon, it is infer
red that the temperance people will,
and have already commenced a move
ment to wipe the saloons out of Tenn
essee by the passage of a prohibition
law similar to that which has closed
up the saloons in the State of Georgia.
1.-THE application of the Pendleton law
to Nashville, Chattanooga, Memphis
and La Toilette, the remaining four
towns and cities in the state which
have the saloon, is too slow" said Dr.
Folk "By that method it will most
probably be necessary to finally submit
the question to vote of the people of
these towns and cities, and that would
consume much time
DIR. Folk did not positively indicate
the method that is to be pursued by
the league for the abolition of the sa-
loon, but it was understood that bill
is to be introduced in the Legislature
at its next session providing for the
abolition of saloons by prohibition.
DR.. Folk reiterated his statement made
in Knoxville that Gov. Patterson COM
mitted an outrage upon decency and
the people of this state when he vetoed
the La Toilette bill. When he made
this statement DR.. Folk was loudly APP
plauded, as he was frequently through
out his address, which was a descrip-
tion of the anti-saloon laws which
have been enacted in this state from
time to time since 1887
DR.. Folk insisted that in every coun-
ty and town where the saloon has been
driven out he has found the people
prosperous and we'll satisfied with con-
litions, and he challenged the state
ment that the abolition of the saloon
is thrust at the basic principles of fin
ancial institutions. DR.. Folk insist
ed that it is his belief that whenever
the people are given an opportunity to
vote, liquor will be driven out of Chat
tanooga, Nashville and La Toilette,
but he doubted if the saloon caR be
run out of Memphis for few years
vet, unless it can be done by prohib-
ition act DR.. Folk declared that it is
an outrage for state or county to allow
liquor 10 pe shlppeu lnIo VelliIoiy
where the people, by their own act of
self government, have said that they
will not have saloons. He charged that
it is blow at the foundation of local
self government and is destroyer of
that liberty and freedom which Amer
leans boast about.
"We want bill passed by this ma
tion which will prohibit the manufact-
ure and sale of liquor; we want an an
ii jug bill passed prohibiting the ship
ment of liquor into dry territory; we
hope to see the day in the very near
future when the saloon will be wiped
out of Chattanooga, and every county
and city in the state, said DIR. Folk
as he concluded bis address.

HOW ABOUT The
MODERN WOMAN
Is She The Same Old One With a
Few New Clothes or is
She New?

A woman may have manners and no
mind, or mind and no manners; but
the complete woman will have both.
This remark was made by a woman
lecturer in the course of an address
on the subject of rs the Modern
Woman a Failure?"
THE epithet, modern woman is ap
plieG as a term of opprobrium," said
she. There is no reason why it should
be. except the Anglo-SaXon's antipa-
thy 10 adapt himself to changes, and
than to comprehend.
The modern woman is not some
thing new and monstrous. She is like
Eve, only seen under modern condi-
lions. Women will become living re-
alities, instead of pale, distorted re-
Elections.
Mans objection to the modern w6r
an is quite easy to understand and
appreciate. He breads the unknown.
For centuries woman has been the
slave, and man now suddenly sees
the race he has greatly wronged set
loose on society. The clock can not
be put back. Woman will go far, but
it will be upward. The objection and
dislike of men are really a touching
flattery.
Man needs to the full the sympa-
thy and sacrifice of woman, and he
breads to lose it.
But it is clear that mans ideals
are changed, and that he is seeing the
ideal woman.
"A true woman, imbued with the
modern spirit, can do exactly as she
likes. because she will never do any
thing in bad taste"

OUR NATIVE TONGUE
MUCH COMPLICATED.
European People Have Little
Love For English Lam
guage.

The people of continental Europe who
are under the necessity Of learning the
English language have little affection
for it. It's complicated origin has laden
it with an immense number Of incon-
sistencies, contradictions and duplica-
tons, and above all with an irregular
and inexplicable system of spelling
a system that is just now receiving
the attention of our own reformers.
Germans are accustomed to speak of
the English language as "a monster
it speaks German and with the other
Latin"
The Slavonic peoples of central and
western Europe, who by reason of the
fact that they have been compelled
to learn many and are there
fore great linguists, have a legend to
account for the inconsistencies of Eng
fish which is yet more uncomplimen-
tary than the German animadversion
against our mother tongue.
This legend is to the effect that
when the Almighty created the ma
lions he gave men no tongues at all.
When they came and dumbly begged
for them, he compassionately took a
piece of meat and cut it into slices,
giving each one slice TO serve as a
tongue.
This arrangement served well enough
but, when the Englishman, who had
either lazily or contemptuously failed
to arrive sooner, came and demanded
his piece, there was none left. Ac-
cordingly the Diety called back the
men of other nations, and slicing from
each of their tongues a little bit, he
put them all together to make a
tongue for the Englishman. And this
is why the English continue TO the
present day to speak in such jun
BILE.
Students have averred that this ito
ny, originally heard in Croatia, is so
close a representation in allegory of
the actual facts in the origin of the
English language, that il has made
up air. 1t is, nevertheless, pictures
que and interesting.

FertitiZing for Fruit.

The growing of fruit demands la
Dor at the proper time, and consider
able work is done before spring opens.
Where growers have combined to keep
insects and parasites in check the re-
suit has been beneficial. If the labor
and cost of fertilizers must be con-
sidered it is safe to assert that fruit
growers derive larger profits from rasp'
of them deserve, as it is only when
picking and harvesting the crop that
the real labor is performed. After
such crops are harvested some fields
receive but little care and cultivation,
and it is seldom that manures or
fertilizers are applied, though the
strawberry is treated differently. En-
terprising fruit growers maintain that
it pays to give blackberry and rasp-
berry canes good cultivation, and to
apply fertilizers literally as the in
creased crop of berries and vigorous
vines more than pay the expense.
During periods of drought the grassy
rows of canes must compete for mois-
ture with inuuders, and ii often hap
pens that dry period sets in
just at the time the berries are ripen-
ing, and when moisture is greatly need
ed When the soil is clear of grass
and weeds, and the surface of the
ground loose, the loss from lack of
moisture is greatly reduced.

A KANSAS CITY man
IS FAMOUS CURIOSITY.
Has Only Half a Brain Yet He
Makes His Own
Living.

George L. Chapman, a world-fa-
nous curiosity among medical men,
was exhibited to the classes OF the
Kansas Medical College. recently. He
is a wonderful example of a tradi-
ton current among medical doctors
that the average person has a large
surplusage of brains. AS the result
of a gunshot wound received when
he was a boy and the subsequent sur
gical operation which followed, Chap
man had teacupful, or, to reduce the
quantity to more exact terms, six
ounces of his brain removed when he
was thirteen years old.
The right side of his skull was re-
moved and the injured portion of
the brain taken out. The brain sub
stance removed was practically all
from the right hemisphere.
Instead of dying, as everything in
dicated he would, Chapman fingered
between life and death. His head
was almost frozen in an effort to
keep the temperature down. Part
Of the right ear was actually frozen
off in this manner But after spend
ing two years in bed, not, being able
to stand as a result of the injury,
he finally became able to get around.
A huge scar remains where the
surgeons removed the skull and
brain from Chapman's head. The
brain substance here lies beneath
single thickness of skin and it is
possible to observe the pulsation OF
the cerebral blood vessels by watch.
ing the bare skin which covers the
unprotected brain. In sleeping, if he
lies on the right side of his head it
fills with blood, practically drowning
the brain. He is then completely
paralyzed and helpless until some one
turns him over, when his brain drains
and resume it's functinons.
Chapman makes his living by trav-
cling about and exhibiting himself 10
medical colleges, taking up a collec-
ton at each place. He is in great
demand as an illustration of the re-
lations between the hemispheres of
the brain and the muscles of the body.

country and in Europe and Canada.

Plan Floating Turtle Soup Cannery

Three Milwaukee men have conceived
the brilliant idea of bringing into close
proximity through the agency of a
floating cannery the abundant supply
of green turtles of Central America,
and the anxious people of the United
States who delight in the flavors of
turtle soup.
The floating cannery will sail to
Costa RIGA under it's own canvas, can a
cargo of turtle soup and bring it back
to the states.
The promoters of the company who
conceived the idea are Joseph Ober-
hofer, a chef, whose duty is solely to
prepare the soups for big hotel; John
B. Restle, and William Siegmeier. They
are said to have ample backing.
The floating cannery will preserve
various kinds of turtle and terrapin,
the promoters figuring on spending
four months to get a cargo, in the
West Indies and on the Central Amer
lean coast. The green turtles will be
captured when they come ashore on
the reefs to lay their eggs, and some
of the varieties of terrapin will be
hunted in the creeks and streams of
the Central and South American coast.
Mr.. Oberhofer said: I'VE have IN
corporated for S35, 000 I have done this
before. In 1895 I went with a schooner
from New York to Central America
The trip cost $4,000 and We realized
$40, 000
