FEAR FEUD IN NASHVILLE.
Excitement Over Killing of carmack
Runs High.

Nashville, Tenn, Nov. 11.-Excite-
ment is running high here as result
Of the killing of Edward Ward Car
mack, formerly United States senator
and editor of the Nashville Tennes~
seean, in a duel with Robin Cooper,
son of Colonel Duncan B. Cooper, one
Of the most prominent politicians in
the state.
1t is feared that as result deadly
feud may be started. The widow Of
the victim and his friends are de-
manding vengeance on his slayer.
Young Cooper, who was shot in the
right shoulder during the fight, is in
the hospital, prisoner, and his father
Is detained as witness. The young
man, who is a lawyer, is not badly
hurt. He is twenty-seven years old
and unmarried.
Neither of the Coopers seems greatly
concerned over their plight, depending
on the assurance of their friends that
the nature of Carmack's wounds
proved that he must have fired the
first shots, as he could not have pulled
the trigger after he was hit.

A Rusty Iron Nail.

1t has been discovered that happy
miller's family living in the vicinity Of
the battlefield of Waterloo has de-
rived a regular income since 1915 from
the sale Of a rusty iron nail. 1t was
not many years after the battle that
an eccentric Englishman on the
strength Of an eyewitness evidence
discovered that Napoleon's hat had
been hanging on that nail, the emperor
having rested awhile at the mill dur
ing the battle. An offer for the old
nail was Immediately accepted by the
previously guileless miller, who after
the deal replaced 1t by another old
nail and painted an inscription round
it on the wall pointing out it's histor-
ical value. One nail after another has
gone to enrich collections as priceless
Napoleonic relics.-Argonaut.

EMPEROR WILLIAM.

von Hertling, a member Of the Center
party, took part in the debate and en-
ergetically protested against the per-
sonal element being injected into for
eign politics.
Herr Liebermann Won Sonnenberg,
the agrarian and anti-Semite, surpris-
ed the house by the vehemence of his
utterances. He declared that the Mon
archists, with heavy hearts, found
themselves compelled to protest firmly
against the emperors statements. The
nations confidence, he said, has sunk
to zero.
"We do not believe" he continued,
"that the future will bring any real
improvement. The improvement will
last only until the next time. Evi-
dence exists that there is further ma
terial in foreign hands for use when
the occasion calls"
Prince Won Buelow spoke in reply to
the critics of the government and the
emperor. His address was devoid of
gesture. He said:
II do not wish to add fresh preju-
dice to the damage already caused by
the publication in the Daily Telegraph.
l am certain that the story Of a de-
tailed plan of campaign to end the
Boer war is not right. This plan con-
sisted merely of some academic ideas
concerning the conduct Of war in gen.
eral which the emperor conveyed to
Queen Victoria in the course of their
correspondence, and it was without
practical Significance for the opera
tions then going on or for the end of
the war.
Concerning the statement attribut-
cd to Emperor William that a majori-
ty Of the German people is hostile to
Great Britain the expression used by
the Telegraph is too strong. Serious
and regrettable misunderstanding
have existed between Great Britain
and Germany, but the German people
desire peaceful and friendly relations
with that empire Joined with mutual
respect.
''The recognition by his majesty OF
the unjustifed misunderstanding OF
his utterances with reference to Great
Britain and the excitement and regret
aroused thereby in Germany will,
am convinced, lead the emperor in fu
ture private conversations to exercise
that reserve and prudence which in
the interest Of uniform policy and
the authority Of the crown is indis
pensable.

nor any one of my successors could

The Tide of Socialism.

Much has been said of the rising
tide of socialistic opinion in this coun
try and its possible effect upon politics
in years just ahead. 1t is admitted
that socialism is a vague term. If
vague in its application to opinions
promulgated here and there it Is likely
to be vague in practical politics. 1t is
not probable that the vote for the ma
tional socialistlc ticket represents the
current sentiment on so called social
questions any more than the vote for
the national Prohibition ticket repre-
sents the nations ideals on the tenn
perance question. Both of these parties
make their appeal as reformers. But
the older parties also champion those
reforms they deem most urgent.
In that forceful play, "The Servant
of the House." when the character
who represents the "downtrodden"
workinginan is asked TO name the
creed which has supplanted In his
heart the old orthodoxy he answers,
Socialism" In the end he finds
many Of the orthodox fold agreeing
with him, but they don't go over to
his flag. They start in to reform
orthodoxy. The scene Of this dramatic
object lesson is England, where 1t is
thought that the rise of the tide of So
cialism has been alarming. Already
there the party in power has thrown
up breakwater in measures Of relief
for the toiling millions. Observers
think that the high water mark Of
English socialism is in sight and alarm
needless. Both Germany and France
have passed through the same ordeal,
and in SO far as votes tell the story
socialistic opinion in those countries
Is stationary, If not receding. The
rabid Socialist and therefore the most
dangerous, does not vote. for vot'
ing is q function Of government, and
he doesn't believe in government. The
more the Socialists vote for their par
ticular tenets the greater the probabil-
ity that they will soon join forces with
that one Of the larger parties which
most favors their reforms, and these
reforms will have to be practicable In
order to win a majority Of the suf
frages Of the nation.

BAIL DENIED TO MORSE.
Ice Trust Finaneier Must Stay In Jail
PENDING Appeal

New York, Nov. II. 60 Judges LS'
combe, Noycs and Ward in the United
States circuit court OF appeals handed
down decision in which they denied
the application OF Charles w. Morse to
be released on bail pending proceed
lngs for writ of error in his convic-
tion and sentence to fifteen years in
prison.
The judges said that Morsc's attor-
ney could renew the application at any
time. 1t is not expected, however, that
the former ice king will be admitted to
bail unless his lawyers furnish sutli-
cient reasons why new trial should
be granted.
AS it will take at least ten days to
prepare an appeal, Morse will have TO
stay in the TombS for at least two
weeks more.

1900 ENSLAVED.
Railroad Agents on Trial
For Alleged PeOnage.
NORKMEN HELD PRISONERS.
Kidnapped to Florida Wilderness
Overrun With Snakes and Bru-
tally Beaten If They
Tried to Escape.

New York, Nov. 1.-THE marooning
,f 5000 men In the wild and inaccessl
Die regions OF Florida and their deten-
ion there under hard labor for months
was dealt with before Judge Hough
and jury in the United States circuit
.ourt at the trial of The governments
Ease against employers and agents Of
the Florida East Coast Railway COM
pany for violation of the statute pro-
hibiting "peonage, slavery and en-
forced servitude."
The men under indictment are Fran
cisco Sabbia, Edward ]. TRAY, David
e. Harley. and Frank A. Hugg, whom
The United States authorities charged
with conspiracy to entice into the serv-
Ice of the Florida East Coast company
some 5000 laborers whom they COM
PEELED to work against their will in the
construction of railroad across the
Florida keys.
Deputy Attorney General Glenn L.
listed outlined the prosecutions case,
contending that the treatment accord
ed to the wOrkmen was nothing short
Of slavery. The government would
show, he declared, that the men had
been induced by alluring advertise
ments in New York papers to apply for
employment in the south, being guar
anteed good food, high wages and ideal
treatment.
When the men reached Jersey City,
he declared, they We're put aboard u
train and held prisoners, the doors
being locked on them and armed
guards set over them to prevent es-
cape. Throughout the long journey
they were given nothing but stale
bread and bologna sausage. Many re-
belled at Miami and refused to leave
the train, but hose was turned on
them, and they were driven aboard a
waiting steamer
When the ultimate destination was
reached, said Mr.. listed, the men
found that the paradise promised them
was barren wilderness overrun with
reptiles and venomous snakes, where
no place to sleep had been provided.
Their high wages" the prosecutor
declared, were slips Of paper exchange
able at the cOmpany's stores for cloth
Ing and food The escape that many
sought was impossible. The region
was entirely cut off from all means of
communication with the outside world.
Thinking to be discharged and sent
away, some refused to work. These,
Mr.. listed said, were threatened with
death and hrutalJy beaten.

NATURE AS A FAKER.
She Sometimes Deceives Even the Eye
of the Scientist.

She Sometimes Deceives Even the Eye
of the Scientist.
On the so called table mounds Of
Iowa are numerous impressions Of
what look exactly like cloven feet. 1t
Is not surprising that superstitious
people should attribute them to the
devil taking his walks abroad, though
as a matter Of fact they are not foot
prints Of any kind whatsoever, but
merely weather worn impressions left
by species of mollusk-like animal
known to science as pentamerus.
TO the Smithsonian institution not
long ago somebody sent from the Bad
Lands of Nebraska what purported to
be fossil ham. 1t did In very truth
look like ham, and, to render the
ycrlslmilltude complete, the bone was
actually sticking out at one end Of 1t.
Nevertheless an investigation showed
that the alleged bone was In reality a
"vncullte'-an extinct mollusks shell,
rodike In form-and the rest of the
ham" was a mere accidental agglom-
Grafton Of stony stuff.
One day quite recently young man
walked into the National museum at
Washington and presented to the an
thropologist In charge petrified foot.
1t was received with many thanks,
/ though recognized at n glance as a
water worn fragment Of rock which
had accidentally assumed shape re-
sembling a foot.
Such chance limitations as these fire.
quently occur in nature. Another one,
deposited in the same institution, was
supposed by the finder to be petri-
fed oyster. 1t looks as If on the half
shell. All its parts are wonderfully
distinct, and there is even small
pearl in it seemingly. Yet 1t is not an
oyster at ALL
Many years ago the cocoon" was
introduced as fossil to wondering
inent geologist 1t was accepted by
science for quite awhile as the earliest
and oldest Of known animals-the
dawn animal" as it's name signifies.
Recent scientific investigation, how
ever, has proved that it is not and
never was an animal at all. 1t is mere
ly curious crystalline combination Of
two minerals which has the look Of
something that once upon time was
alive.
1t has recently been proved that
many markings ON sedimentary rocks
long supposed to be fossil prints of
algae and other plants are in reality
tracks left by insects, mollusks and
worms. Some Of these alleged plants
had actually received names and been
classified into genera and species.
But it has been sufficiently shown
that markings exactly similar can be
produced by allowing such animals as
those above mentioned to creep across
surface Of moist plaster or wet clay,
counterfeiting rock in a plastic and
not yet hardened condition, and one
well known vegetable frequently noted
as fossil has in this way been satisfac-
torily identified with the trail of the
larva of the dragon fly. - Saturday

Without Ostentation.

The late Josiah w. Leeds Of Phila-
delphia was notable for his lifelong
fight against immodesty. He loved
simplicity as he loved modesty. Osten-
tation he abhorred, especially the os-
sentation of funerals and cemeteries.
He used often to quote an epitaph
that he had once seen in a secluded
graveyard.
This epitaph, which was cut on the
simplest, cheapest stone it is possible
to imagine, said:
"The monument is very plain, no
doubt, but all the money in the world
would not have brought our poor dear
father back to us again."-Washington
