A KINGS
DRUNKEN VALET

There could, / fancy, be no more
uncomfortable or unconscionable lese
majesty than for king valet to come
drunk, hi sduty night after night,
as an old servant of the great Fred
erick was in the habit of doing. The
Wallets long service, however, SO plead
ed for him with the King that he
pretended not to notice the mans in
toxication SO long as 1t did not In
capacitate him from his work. When,
however, 1t did so incapacitate him,
Frederick would lead him to a private
door, help him through 1t and bid him
go sleep It off Nor would the King
summon another servant to help him
to undress, because he would thereby
expose the old mans frailty.--Ger-
many without Spectacles.

WASHINGTON
REJ0ICES
NATIONAL CAPITAL ADMIREs THE
MINORITY HOUSE LEAD
Err GREATLY.

WASHINGTON. Aug. 14.-Not for
many years have the people at the
national capital taken so much inter-
/ est in a state nomination as the recent
race for the senatOrship in Missis-
sippi The general sentiment here
has all along been in favor of John
Sharp Williams, and his many sup
! porters here were caused no small
amount of worry when the returns
! began to come in from the country
districts cutting down his lead. At
no place is Mr.. Williams ability APP
preciated more than in Washington.
In fact, If his allround attainments
were appreciated half as much in Mis-
, sissippi as here his majority over his
opponent would have at least reached
the figures as given out few days
before his election.
When congress is in session Mr..
Williams is always in the limelight;
few days go by but what he does not
DISTINGUISH III SOuuS way OA
the floor of the house. People who
visit Washington for the first time,
whether from Maine or California,
know of John Sharp Williams above
all other men in the house OF repre-
sentatives. Their first thought when
visiting the house is to get glimpse
of the little tobasco."
The general feeling here as that Mis-
sippians will never regret the day
when they send Mr.. Williams to the
senate. No southern senator will car
~ more weight with that body than
he, and when the day comes no mem
Der of the upper house will be heard
more auspiciously.
Only in a joking way have few
people expressed a wish to have Gov.
Vardaman succeed Senator Mooney,
supposing that his radicalism would
bring about a few encounters, such as
were perpetrated in that body only a
few years ago.
It should be a proud day for the peo-
pie of Mississippi when John Sharp
Williams goes to the north end OF the
capitol with the title of senator from
their state.

PRICES FOR MEN
JUMP SKY HIGH

MEMPHIS, Tenn, Aug. 14--Never
before in the history of the Southern
base ball territory, under protection
of the National agreement, have con-
tracts on players been at such prec-
ium. Minor league managers in this
section, who are already searching the
class B. class C and class d league for
next seasons material, find the small
err clubs asking $500 for bill of sale ON
players that a year ago ordinarily
brought 500. The Southern League
managers have also raised the price
to the Majors, asking $4,000 for play
ers that brought $1,000. 4

ALABAMA AND |. & n.
WILL LOCK HORNS

MONTGOMERY, Ala, Aug. 14.-An
order was issued late tonight re-
straining the State officials from in
terfering in any way with the opera
lions of the Louisville & Nashville
Railroad with regard to its refusal to
put into effect the commodity freight
and reduced passenger fare rate. All
solicitors and Sheriffs are restrained
from prosecuting or making arrests
for violation of said acts.
. The order was issued by Judge
Thomas G. Jones, of the Federal Court,
and answer Is to be made by the
State within ten days.
This will likely bring the contest be-
tween the State and Federal Courts
to a head. II arrests are made under
the laws, parties making arrests can
be fined or imprisoned at the discre-
ton of the Judge, in which case the
issue would be clearly drawn as to
the Jurisdiction Of the courts.
In its application for the restraining
order, the Louisville & Nashville sets
up that to allow prosecution and ar
rest would greatly endanger the lives
of passengers by the arrest OF men
handling trains, retaTd interests
traiic and interfere with the malls.
Interviews with the Governor inti'
mating that the arrests will be ordered
are recited.
A violation Of this order by any
State officer would bring him into con-
tempt OF the Federal Court, in the
event OF which he would be fined
Then will come open conflict If the
State should try to prevent the exc
cution of the sentence with the sum-
moning of posses and contest be-
tween the state and Federal oficers.
Careful observers Of the situation
anticipate a serious state Of affairs. as
they believe II is the purpose OF the
state to insist on indictments and
arrests for violations of the laws, even
II they are restrained.

COMING HOME
TO TENNESSEE,

(H. c. Warnack in Yuma, Ariz., Exam
iner.)
The Tennesseans are going home.
The descendants of Houston, Jackson,
Johnson, Sewer, Crockett, Farragut
and Polk and all of that illustrious
host are going back from everywhere
to sit little while under the shadow
of Old Hickory and wander among the
stately halls of the centennial city by
the placid lake.
They will speed through fields of
golden rod and hedges of flaming
sumach. They will tarry for the
miracle of the first frost which kisses
open the velvet chestnut burr, glasses
the cheek of the chinapin, muscadine
and haw, fells the persimmon, fattens
the succulent marsupial and brings
substantial visions of backbones and
spareribs.
The fields no longer will be white
with daisies; the tender green Of
sweetbrier will be scar; wild rose and
honeysuckle will be desolate; the
dead pale leaves of the dogwood will
have formed the sweet williams star
ry shroud, and the magnolia's ivory
petals will have been entangled from
live oak bough to dreamy waters far
below, but there will be recompense.
Depth on depth of woodlands green
and gold moss carpet will be showered
with hazel and hickory nuts. The old
fashioned clematis will form white
shield about the dooryard Of the old
homestead (God bless the memory of
the white-haired old people ON the big
white porch!) and across the frost
keen morning will come the bay tri-
umphant of the hounds in chase.
Yes, the Tennesseans are going
home. They will walk in sunny fields.
through wonder-tinted forests OF au-
tumn enchantment, gazing through
Indian summers haze at purple-mlSt-
ed mountains. They will tread green
grass the desert wayfarer has forgot
ten and drink from cold spring the
sweet waters our famished Western
lips are parched for.
The Tennesseans are going home
and some will walk betime to the
old graveyard by the little country
church at Pond Springs, at New Hope.
Fountain Head, Inskip Ridge, Galyon's
Gap, Cherry Creek, Blue Springs, and
hundred other places with names
similar, all freighted with tender mem
cries. They will walk among the old
fashioned roses and the trailing blue
eyed ivy, silently. hungrily yearning
for days that are no more.

BLUE-EYED MEX
ICAN INDIANS
(Mexican Herald.)

One of the mysteries of Mexico is
presented by the Mega Indians, who
inhabit Sierra Madre Mountains in
the lower part of Sonora. They have
fair skins, blue eyes and light hair,
and students of ethnology have al
ways been puzzled to account for
them.
There is a tradition, however, that
these Indians are the descendants of
the crew and passengers Of Swedish
vessel wrecked on the Mexican coast
centuries before Columbus discovered
the New World, but this tradition is
founded on nothing more than folk
lore tale current among them that
their ancestors came over the big salt
water hundreds OF moons ago.

ATLANTA, Ga, Aug. 14.-By vote
of 1859 to Is the House today passed
the so-called negro disfranchisement
bill, which previously was adopted by
the Senate. The lower branch of the
Legislature made few minor amend
ments to the bill as received from the
Senate, to which body it is to be re-
turned for concurrence. That the Sen
ate will adopt these amendments is
considered certainty and the bill will
become a law within few days.

was well fitted to conduct the fair and
that in his hands the company was in
the best position to repay a large part
of the government loan. The law pro-
viding for the loan authorizes the
government to take charge of the re-
ceipts and expenditures of the fair,
when ever in the judgment of the Sec
rotary of the Treasury, the interests
Of the government would be subserved
thereby
Mr. Barr declined to make any
statement in the matter. He said, in
reply to a question. that he did not ex-
pect to see Secretary Cortelyou; but
there is reason to believe that he will
make report in writing to the Sec
rotary, who is at his Long Island home
Mr.. Cortelyou will then determine
whether it is best for the government
to take charge of the exposition affairs.
The fact is, that the exposition
campony has repaid to the government
only little more than 100000 of the
S1,000,O0O loan. There is no possibility
that the company will under any cir
cumstances be able to repay the gov
eminent loan in full.

GOVERNMENT MAY

TO RUN SHOW
OF DIRECTORS OF
JAMESTOWN EXPOSITION TO
REPAY LOAN MAY MAKE UN-
GLE SAM A SNOWMAN.


Washington. D. c.. Oct. 9.-There is
strong possibility that in the near
future the federal government will take
charge Of the Jamestown exposition
and conduct it, with view to securing
the return of as large slice as possi-
BILE of the s1,O0O,0oO loan which con-
gress made to the exposition company.
No statement on the subject is OBJ
tainable at the Treasury Department
Acting Secretary Edwards, who has
been acting Secretary Of the Treasury
in the absence of Mr.. Cortelyou, re-
turned this morning from Jamestown.
Last night a telegram was made
public showing that Secretary Cor
telyou wished to have Mr.. Barr con-
tinue in the position Of director gem
eral and there is much chagrin in the
treasury department that the expo
sition directors failed to regard the
wishes of the Secretary.
Mr.. Cortelyou believed that Mr.. Barr
