daughter, Miss Maclean. who is also
devoted to the Iron Man, an appel
lation conferred on Sir Harry by the
Moors in Reorganization of his fearless
ness. She refers with pride to her
brothers conduct in regard to Raj
suli The kaid. she says, went out
as an envoy from the sultan with but
small escort. When Sir Harry and
Raisuli met the former could have
made the latter a prisoner-nay, his
escort suggested that he should do 50,
but he would not listen to any
treacherous proposal. He had gone
forth as an envoy and not as a kid
napper. Nor could he anticipate the
treatment Raisuli had in store for
him.
Since his captivity Sir Harry Mac
leans father has only received one
letter direct from his son. 1t was
dated July Z, after he had been in
captivity a week. In 1t the kaid says:
II am treated very well-as a state
prisoner, as they say here. I have my
own tent and am surrounded by High
land tribes"
Since the above date the prisoner
has not been allowed to write direct
to friends in foreign countries, but he
may communicate with his daughters
in Tangier. In a letter to them, writ
ten shortly after the letter above re-
ferred to, he complains Of the heat,
and to mitigate the suffering caused
thereby he has had a second tent
superimposed over his own, so as to
diminish the oppression from the ex-
cessive heat, an oppression increased
he complains, by the close proximity
Of his numerous jailers, who are herd
ed uncomfortably near him.
On Saturday last Miss Maclean re-
ceived from one of her nieces letter
dated July 20, in which she writes:
"Larbi Cher fathers right hand mani

NEW Poison TEsT.-An Irish laborer
entered a drug store. and, drawing a
paper bag from his pocket, he poured
on the counter a number of very sticky
and unpalatable-l looking candy lozen-

asked.
"They look queer. What is the mat

CONTAGIOUS ART.-An artist. whose
summers. spent in out of the way
places. have brought him a rich re-
ward of experience as well as of sue
cess. tells many stories of the uninvit-

easel on different occasions.
In one little Connecticut village a
freckle-faced boy appeared as If by
magic at his side one morning, and
gazed at the artist and at the picture
then in progress with an intentness
which was almost disconcerting.
Did you ever try to paint?" the art
ist asked him at last. and he was
startled at the sudden illumination of
the sober little face.

boy, with certainty. My father could

some of his warped ideas. The COL

SIR HARRY MACLEAN.
His Father Still Living at the Age OF
s5-Letter From the Prisoner.

S5-letter From the Prisoner.
In one Of London's historical and
tranquil suburbs dwells a venerable
old Scottish gentleman who since his
youth has been in the service Of crown
and country as member Of the army
medical corps. AS a young man he
was attached to the Eleventh Hussars
under the famous Earl of Cardigan,
and he has ever since held staff ap-
pointments. In April last he complet-
ed his ninety-fifth year, and although
he leans heavily on his stick when
walking he is in full possession Of his
faculties, his mind is alert and keen,
and at the present moment both mind
and heart are concentrated on the
man whose courageous attempt to as
sist in solving a very difficult problem
has brought him into special promi-
nence in the eyes of the world. This
fine old gentleman, who morning and
evening eagerly scans the newspap-
ers for the good news that he is hop
ing and praying for, is now the head
of "a family which, as i'm generations
past, still serves the king and coun-
try.
His rank is deputy inspector-gene-
raj in the royal army medical corps,
and his name is Kaid Sir Harry
Maclean. Noblesse oblige, and the
name has been honorably borne from
the days of Culloden. when a Gen.
Maclear and his three sons fought
side by side with the Camerons, the
father alone living to tell the tale.
The grand old Scot speaks proudly
and with beaming countenance to me
of his son, Raisuli's prisoner, and tells
how king Edward showed him gra-
cious courtesy when he invited him to
to dine at Buckingham palace, and
after dinner presenting him with one
of his own walking sticks and asked
him to come in Highland garb when
next he visited his majesty and also
bring his bagpipes with him and give
the king a skirl. Sir Harry'S father
also refers to the warm welcome Of
the kdlu TeCelNeu dl llle lldllu5 VI lhS
German emperor on the occasion of
his memorable visit to Tangier. His
majesty complimented him on the
way he had organized and command
ed the Moroccan army, and present
ed him with a gold snuff box. Sir
Harry Maclean has three daughters.
now i'm Tangier, and son, Lieut.. An
drew De We're Maclean of the second
East Surrey regiment, now I'm India.
A brother of the kaid, Col. FitZroy
Maclean, also in the army medical SER
vice, is at present i'm Pretoria; another
brother, Alan Maclean, was until quite
recently British consul at Casablanca.
He is now in Spain, and his place has
been taken by Archibald Maclean,
cousin.

man from New England. He was just
emerging from a drug store, where he
had placed an order. when a stranger
came up and addressed him.

"All right. How much is she?" the
stranger asked, pulling out his pock-

der on the local freight agent for his
case.
Now, I'd like to see your license to

said pleasantly.
You've got me-twenty-five, isn't
it?" the drummer asked, offering the
money. 'I don't suppose it will be

iff replied. Then he looked at the or
der for the case of medicine. What
am going to do with this stuff?" he
asked.
"In give you a dollar for it,. the
drummer suggested. and the trade was
made.
And do you happen to have a H.
cense to peddle? Huh, l thought not.
Well, you have been trading with me
selling goods without license

you," the drummer said sweetly. And

There are hundreds and
thousands Of men who are insured In
the Mutual Benefit Life Insurance 60.
under single policies ranging In
amount from $1,000 to $4,000. 1t Is
more than likely that the vast major
ity Of these insured in this particular
company because of the solicitation
of an agent or on the advice of some
one already a policy holder, ct Is gen
orally conceded that In no company
in business are so many new policies
issued through the influence OF those
already insured), but 1t Is fact also
that there are hundreds and thou
sands of members who have from two
to eight policies each in the Mutual
Benefit issued at different times, In
many instances the last being issued
as long as 25 to 80 years after the
first, and 1t Is usually the case that all
except the first are voluntarily applied
for because the assured knows by
Experience, the best teacher, that ev-
cry claim made for the company and
its contracts are true. If you are

 He was attended by pr. w. R. Ar berry. of Jacksonville who had to am- putate three fingers. The negro was shot through both hands and in the thign. He was placed under arrest.

After serving a time on the streets. the unpaid balance of his fine was suspended under the promise that be would leave the city and try to reform.
 He went away. but soon returned and shortly thereafter. was in the tolls here again. whereupon the original sentence was reimposed. While confined in the city prison he kicked and beat two fellow prisoners and from another, stole a gold ring worth SIP. For these offenSes he was tried and heavily fin- ed. Yesterday morning he was again brought into police court and fined SI15O for tearing up the prison cell, which meant twenty-two days more of hard service.
 Not deterred by this. however. he was before Recorder Green again this morning for destroying three schackles worth S5.SO each. and for this offense, was assessed fine of $41.5O. or eighty three days on the streets.

 An agreement upon the so-called "Jim Crow" ordinance is expected. The rep resentatives of the Montgomery Tract ion Company, 1t is said, advocate the adoption of an ardinance similar to the one used in Lynchburg, Va, where the company owns and operates a street railway line. By the force of that or- dinance the seating of passengers is left to the discretion of the conductors on the cars and advocates of the ordin- ance claim that all trouble resultant from the segregation of the races ir thus avoided. How this will appeal to the Committees of the Council which adopted an ordinance requiring the company to provide separate cars for the races. cannot be foretold.
 Yesterday the committeeman, with the officers of the railway company, visited Five Points and discussed the "cut-in" whereby the company will be enabled to operate it's cars on Goldth- waite street instead of Mobile street, from which it Is promised the track shall be removed as soon as the com pany can make the necessary connec- tion between the Montgomery street line and the Belt Line so that cars go- ing South on Montgomery street can be run upon Goldthwaite instead of up- on Mobile street
 It was promised. too, that the com pany would use all possible haste to remove It's tracks on Moulton street, from Bibb to Montgomery streets.
 The representatives of the city were then taken to the new car barns of the company, which were inspected with interest.
 MT. Apperson and Judge Horsley ex- pect to leave Montgomery tonight.
