He'll Stick to His Pipe.
e New York Times.

From the New York Times.
 One particular objection may of the men patrons have to the big palatial hotels in the city Is that they can't smoke their favorite pipes in the public halls without becoming the exposure of all eyes
 "The other evening" said guest at the St Regis, 'I sat down in one of the comfortable armchairs in the hall to enjoy my old pipe that's been my con stant friend for the last seven years. There were several people sitting near me- most of whom were men. and one or two were smoking cigars or cigarettes. I didn't see a pipe in sight anywhere, and that made me a little uncertain as to whether I should be violating an etiquet- tai rule of the house.
 q drew out my briar, and, after had got it going comfortably, I noticed that the guests near me began to melt away by ones and twos, until presently I was left with a good share of the hall to myself. Some of them did not leave the hall altogether, but moved to seats furthest from me. Of course, I knew what the cause was, but I didn't care. In my opinion. the man who smokes q pipe is a heap sight better than any dozen men who smoke cigars and cigar cites"

NEWS OF TALLADEGA,
Marriages Fall Off During May From
 the Average.

Talladega, June 2-(Special.) )-About fifty persons were witnesses to a beautiful home wedding when MT. Ellersie Wallace Bullard married Miss Hattie Goode Will son Saturday evening at 6:30 The Rev. Dr. Wright of Oxford, the officiating minister who had years previously per formed the marriage ceremony for the father and mother of the bride. tied the knot in this one.
 Some days since Chief of Police z. A. Grogan arrested two negroes for breaking into the commissary at Shelby and con- Veyed them to the Shelby county jail. Last night he received wire stating that these two prisoners, In company with three others, had broken out of the Jail and escaped.
 Saturday afternoon the fire department was called out to extingush blaze in the two-story wooden building adjoining the Southern depot, known as the Tow CTS house." The damage was slight. Only a few weeks past this house was wrecked by a storm, and an immense oak blow down upon 1t. This is the third Satur- day in succession that a fire alarm has called out the department. AS the square is literally packed with wagons, people and hacks on Saturday, fast driving through this throng is difficult as well as dangerous.
 Talladega is now furnishing brown ores to the Woodstock furnace at Anniston from It's Rendalia mines, ten miles from the city. A new washer will be put in The quality of this ore Is excellent, while the supply is limitless.
 The marriage average fell off a little bit during May, probably owing to the weather, and crop prospect. Only four teen white couples agreed to pull in double harness, but eleven dusky children of the sun united in wedlock.
 At the various churches today the usual noon services were held the Methodist people hearing sermon from Dr. Chad wick, editor of the Christian Advocate, who took the place of the Rev l.. '.

Chance for Crops.

Jackson, Miss, June 2.-(Special) )-It may encourage farmers of the south gen. erally to learn from Col. Lamar Fontaine that in 1858 there was just such spring as this has been and that in spite of wind and weather the south made great crop. The corn and cotton of that year, he says, was planted about the middle of July. The fact that Colonel Fontaine is known as one of the greatest romancers of the age should not discourage the farmers of today-they need to take an optimistic view of the future

Centuries hence the sci entists eiIl exhume their prehistoric bones and marvel at the
 Well, anyhow, this aforesaid Broadway car suddenly ceased to bowl, and went inch by inch, with quick jerks. You all know the feeling. Other Broadway cars that had also been bowling now crept up behind and also went inch by inch with quick jerks By and by q string of Broad way cars. about twenty of them, went forward, inch by inch, with quick jerks. Each car was crowded with strap-hans CTS, callous, disinterested. 1t was all peacefud and serene, like the third act of d melodrama, where we all sit tight and hold our respective breaths for the great climax.
 It came at the corner of Eighteenth street, near which corner Is a hat store. Outside the hat store hung n sign read ing:

  Of course the sign referred to hats; but If to hats why not to Broadway cars' At least so thought a comedian of tho sidewalk, the happy. untrameled side walk. So he simply transferred the sign from the hatters window to the foremost of the long line of Broadway cars And there is hung suspended

Edward Everett Hale in Woman's Homa

 Hannibal EIamlin told me that when he was first in Congress ne met many Virginia gentlemen who had known Wash- ington personally. MT.

 His printed letters of the period after he left the Presidency and the other peirod after he left the army before he became President. show how carefully he was trying to improve the agriculture of the Mount Vernon estate. Governor Edward Everett is my authority for say Ing that the Mount Vernon -four and the Mount Vernon tobacco bore the highest price in the markets of the West Indies, with which before the revolution we had a considerable trade. It is worth notice that while he raised a good deal of to- bacco for the market. 1t is said that he did not use tobacco in any form.

Loving Cups Constantly in Demand.

From the New York Evening Sun.
 Loving cups are now part of our regu- lar stock" said a jeweler. The loving cup habit never ragged with such virulence as during the last season. Every littie club and society in New York felt im- pelled to present one or more persons with loving cups some time in the course of the winter. Now and then these tes- tlmonials were prepared on short notice. After we had lost two or three sales because of the poverty of our stock and two or three more because the work that was rushed through to order proved un- satisfactory we decided to keep on hand q variety of loving cups that only need the inscription to make them ready for presentation"
