Former Governor and the
President of Stetson
University Clash.

Following is the report of the Jack
sonville Metropolis on the row between
former Governor Jennings and Presi-
dent HulIey, of Stetson University,
which occurred at Tallahassee Thurs
day:
Fistic Row.
Lincoln HUXLEY, president of Stet-
son, the largest Baptist university in
the state, founded by the late John B.
Stetson, the hat man, and former Gov
ernOr Jennings, one of the trustees of
the university, came to blows last
night in the lobby of the Leon Hotel.
The alteration was over a fight which
is being made before the legislature
for an amendment to the charter of the
institution, for a board Of trustees THAI
is not self-perpetuating, as the present
one.
Mr. Jennings sat in the Leon talk
ing to friends concerning the proceed
iEgs of the late state Baptist cOnVen-
ton at Live Oak, in relation to the
charter amendment He made the
statement that unanimous action had
been taken on the question to amend
y
approaching from the rear, branded
the statement as untrue. The lie was
passed, and former Governor and the
president of the university sprang at
each other. Representative Steve Mel
ton, of Duval, sprang between them.
1t is said that Mr.. Melton struck Presi-
dent HUlley. He bore no marks last
night.
4 have nothing to say concerning
this affair" said President Hulley,
and would prefer that no publicity be
given it. The matter is settled so far
las l am concerned, and l don't think
there is any trouble coming from the
other side"
Former Governor Jennings said ::
There is nothing to be said HUXLEY
assaulted me like the bully he is. and
l resented it. That's all there is TO
lit"
After the difficulty last night there
was a lengthy hearing of the judiciary
committee on the charter subject. in
which several speakers were heard,
DR.. Hully was heard in his own de-
Tense or in defense of sixteen trustees,
of the twenty-fOur, as he claimed, and
former Senator Carson, Hon. \. p. Bry-
an and Rev. w. a. HobsOn, pastor of
the First Baptist Church of Jackson
vile, were heard for the State Bap-
fist Convention as against the trus-
etes of Stetson-
The UNCONVENTIONAL feeling is run
ming high, and it is impossible to pre-
dict the outcome of the controversy.

Why Meerschaum Coiors.

In forming a pipe or cigar holder
the meerschaum is prepared for the op-
Grafton by soaking in a composition Of
wax, oil and fats The wax and oil
absorbed by the mineral are the cause
of the color produced by smoking. The
heat of the burning tobacco causes the
wax and fatty substances to pass
through the stages of a dry distilla-
ton, and these, becoming mixed with
the product of the distillation of the
tobacco OicOtinel, are difused through
the substance Of the pipe or holder,
giving those gradations of tint which
are so highly priced.

the boy was not permitted to cOnlmu-

VIM. J. BRYAN THE
ONLY CANDIDATE.
Savannah News


From present indications, Mr.. Bryan,
Notwithstanding the fact that he in
siStS that unless the democratic party
come out sQuarely for the initiative
and referendum he will sever his con-
nectiOn with it, will be the democratic
candidate for president. Recently the
New York Times sent to all of the
members OF the Democratic National
Committee a letter containing three in
quirieS-the first. as to the preference
of democrats of the several states for
president; second, as to Mr. Bryan's
popularity. and third. as to whether or
not a candidate from the south would
be acceptable.
In Tuesdays Times replies from
nine of the committeeman were print
ed 1t is fair to assume that none of
the others cared to answer. Two of
the replies were from committeeman
from the south and seven were from
members in northern states. On Of the
nine was non-cOmmittal, saying the
democratic National Convention was
still fifteen months off. The two men,
bers representing southern states said
Bryan was the only candidate talked
of, that his popularity was as great
as ever and that a southern candidate
would be acceptable, but wasn't urged.
All of the members from northern
states favored Bryan. Indeed, they
had no other candidate in mind. In
all of the states represented by them
Mr. Bryan is as popular as ever he
was, and in some of them he has great
err popularity than ever before. All of
these members from northern states
said that there would be no objection
to a southern candidate-that there
was no feeling whatever against taking
a candidate from the south One of
them said that after Bryan had been
elected twice. and had served his two
terms, a southern man would be the
democratic nominee for president
1t is evident from these replies that
unless there is a change in democratic
sentiment not now regarded as prob
able, Mr. Bryan will be the democratic
candidate. He need make no effort
to get the nomination. In fact he
doesn't seem to be making any. On
the contrary, he is doing and saying
| things calculated to array some of the
democratic leaders against him. Either
he doesn't care whether or not he gets
the nomination. or else he feels so sure
of it that he thinks he can dictate
TO the party the doctrines in shall
adopt
| 1t would be interested TO know if
/ Mr.. Roosevelt would have made the
declaration that he wouldn't accept a
nomination for another term if he had
/ believed that Mr.. Bryan would be the
| democratic nominee. While it is now
understood that Mr.. Roosevelt has
stolen much of Mr.. Bryan's thunder, II
/ is practically certain that if Mr.. Bryan
| should succeed Mr.. Roosevelt he would
not only get back all the thunder
stolen from him. but he would make
the world forget that Mr. Roosevelt
ever had any thunder at all
