The most devoted admirer Of the
late Senator Carmack will hardly
find cause to grumble at the gen.
erous tributes that the people from
one end of the State to the other
are paying to his character, abili-
ty and integrity. In all parts of
the State the people are passing
eulogy and commencing his work
as a statesman and editor. 1t is
one great note of deep regret that
he has been cut down in the flower
of his manhood. Resolutions are
being adopted, articles written and
sermons and speeches made in
honor of the man and Tennessean.
So far we have seen nothing but
regret over the horrible affair
which has SO shocked the State
A movement has been started al
ready in two or three towns of
Tennessee to erect monument to
his memory. That large fund
will be secured for this purpose is
not to be doubted. The funeral
today at Columbia was the largest
ever held in Tennessee. Thous-

portions of the State to pay last

anything and everything for the com rany, who was always just where he was wanted? Could 1t be possible that he was the thief. MT Hamilton kept his mind to himself, and he laid trap, and few minutes later Jenkins the assiduous worker walk ed right into it. He was caught with the goods on as the police say.
 Say, Jenkins," said Prosecutor McGrath in the city court to-day. what Is your age?"
 Twenty" was the answer.
 Twenty" proclaimed sthe attor- ney, You're more than twenty. Didn't you vote at the last election?'
 Well that's what l aiN, twenty"
 MT Hamilton testified as above. Jenkins admitted he took the goods as charged, worth in all $35. Say, Jenkins" said Mr McGrath, didn't you work for Dr Frost" Me work for Dr Frost" exclaim- ed the culprit
 Yes, you;" said the attorney, you know what l said"
 Yes sir, did work for Dr Frost. "
 And didn't you help yourself to a check from his checkbook and raise $40 on it?"
 Jenkins was peculiar. He denied taking the check from the doctors check book" but admitted getting a check elsewhere and raising $40 on 1t. He was fined $20 and costs and committed to jail for thirty days
 It was we'll for Jenkins that he was arrested yesterday and sent down to jail to-day for had his thefts remained undiscovered he would have plunged deeper into crime. After court MT Hamilton stated that Jenkins had asked his colored fellow workman where the cash was kept in the store and that he was only working around to get time to locate that and when he would find 1t he would pay his respects to it and skip the town. This explained his early arrival at the store mornings and his canacity to be on hand just where he was wanted at the right time

CHRISTMAS PACKAGES
0eId al Local Posioillce for
 Proper MailiDg.

The troubles of MT Kennedy, su- perintendent of the water depart ment, are nothing to what the authorities of the local postofiice are experiencing. They wonder why people will risk valuable articles in the mails without having them prop erly declared and stamped.
 The postofiice is piled high with packages that will never reach those whom they are intended for, be- cause they are not sufficiently stamped, that is some of them, oth- CTS are improperly sealed and others are misdirected.
 Among those packages is one ad- dressed John Kelly. Ergarmstrong, Clara, Kings, Ireland" This pack age consists of a scarf pin and a very pretty one, too, but 1t Is doubt ful if MT Kelly will ever get it. A large package Is addressed to Miss Minnie Hyland, Standhope street, Ballinakill, Queens Co, Ireland.'
 Another one was bound for Miss Elizabeth E. Williams, 16 Rue D'Antevil, Paris" and finally one for Miss Catherine Finnegan, 1S2 Lake street, Waterbury, Conn.," All of those packages are costly, judg- ing from their appearance, but un- less the senders declare their con tents at the postoffice they cannot go through the mails. It will not cost anything to do this if the packages are sufficiently stamped, but it is the only way by which they can reach their destination. Senders of pack ages through the mails should either enclose a card with their ad- dress or write it on the upper left hand corner of the package

JENKINS CONVICTED
Of Taking Goods From Store of
 HaIniIiOn Hardware Co.

Reuben Jenkins, colored, who was arrested yesterday on charge of stealing quantity of goods from the Hamilton Hardware Co, Bank street, by which he was employed, appeared in the city court to be one of those young men who believe that the only way, if not the best way, to gain the good will of his employer is to work and work without any thought of comparative compensation. The store of the Hamilton Hardware Co opens at o'clock, but that made no difference to Jenkins. He was em- ployed by the concern only nine days and on the morning of every one of those days he was on hand an hour before opening. His eagerness to work made good impression upon his fellow employees and employers. Such assiduity on the part of work man astonished his employer.
 While Jenkins was seemingly work ing with the force of a Trojan and the speed of an electric flash, which is the next swiftest thing to the speed of the last trolley car coming down North Main street nights, the manager of the concern, Paul Hamil- ton, began to wonder where was all the fishing lines and tackle, skates, stamps. gold watch and the general things that make up the goods of a hardware store, were going to. Every employe of the concern is provided with a locker for his clothes, but there are no locks on these lockers
 MT Hamilton did not mind few yards of fishing line, or for that mat ter, pair or two of steel skates, but when the pilferer began to pay his attention to the cash drawer and gold watches he thought it about time to look around. The idea of suspecting this colored young man who was so alert to the concerns in terest, he who was at the store every morning an hour before the time of opening, was just outrageous, gross unfairness to the young man. |.
 Yesterday in the forenoon Mr Hamilton happened to be passing where the lockers are and the door of Jenkins's was open. By the meres. accident he saw pieces of paper on the floor of the locker, which turned out to be visiting cards. Further in was a new card case and MT Hamil- ton stood aghast with astonishment Could it be possible that this young fellow who seemed so eager to work, N'ho vas on hand an hour before Onenin@ and an hour after closing

Structural Defect In Span Causes
 Loss of Four Lives.
 Hagerstown, Md, Dec. 17.-Inyesti- gation today shows that the new bridge over the Potomac river at VII Transport, which collapsed yesterday, causing loss of four lives and fatal injuries to four others, was overstrain- ed due to structural miscalculations.
 The broken pier stands in the river next to the Maryland shore. A heavy Steel girder was being placed in posi- tion when the pier gave way. The girder and heavy iron traveller, with fourteen men, fell sixty feet into the river.

AIRSHIPS FOR SPOKANE FAIR.
Novel Feature for Fall Event Secured
by Management.

An airship is to be one of the head
line attractions at the Interstate Fair,
which will be held at Spokane this
fall, October to 10 inclusive. says a
fair bulletin. The Interstate Fair
management has engaged the services
of Charles j. Strobel of Toledo. o.,
and the appearance of his airship,
which won the International contests
at st. Louis, Mo-, October 2S, 1907.
The big ship has made many sue
cessful flights with safety to itself
and the single occupant OF the car
who always accompanies it in its
flight. Under favorable conditions
this ear has been known to make sin
gle trips .aggregating $50 miles 1t
ascends and descends. turns in every
direction and seems to respond i'm
mediately at the touch of the opera
tor as a bicycle or automobile re-
spends to its driver.
Flights will be made each day OF
the fair, and when not in the air the
big ship will be berthed in a tent ESQ
feet in length, where it will be on ex-
hibition. A lecturer will explain the
machine in detail and answer ques-
tions that may be asked by visitors.

Paris, July 14.-Thls Is the day
France celebrates-the glorious, the
immortal Fourteenth of July-the an
nlversary of the fall of the Bastlle.
There are other holidays in Eur
ope's great republic, and other fete
days in the gayest city of the world,
but none compare with that of today.
All the exuberant frivolity and vivac-
ity OF the French people will find an
outlet before the hour of midnight
strikes tonight.
Yet for all of this, the celebration
of "Quartorze Juliette' is a model of
peace and quiet compared with the
American Fourth. The French peo-
pie remember the event which they
celebrate and the most ignorant peas
ant is acquainted with the full details
of the fall of the Bastile and the rise
of Liberte, Fraternite ct Egalte. Nor
do the French consider it necessary
to transform their annual patriotic
celebration into wholesale slaugh-
ter of the innocents. There is fun,
lots of it, but in it the diabolical in
ventions of the fireworks manufactur-
ers finds no part.
The French today will eat, drink
and be merry. They will dance and
romp, and listen to patriotic addresses
and thrill to the music of many bands
and the voices of gifted orators. They
will parade through the streets
laughing and shouting, but they will
not kill.
Today's celebration opened, as usu-
! al, with a military review at Long
champs, in which President Fallieres
participated. Wreaths were placed
on the monuments of all the French
national heroes. The only worry OF
| the police is over the possibilities of
clash between the Dreyfus and anti
Dreyfus factions both of which will
hold demonstrations today.
But taken by and large. France Is
today as cOntented a nation as exists
on earth, and the people are as a
whole satisfied with their lot and
pleased with their government. 1t
is in all earnestness that they are to-
day shouting ''Vivi la republique."
The Bonapartes and Bourbons are all
but forgotten today and the loyal sons
of the nation are celebrating as If
France had always been a republic
and will always be a republic
-
may grind their teeth in rage, but to-
day is the day of the people, and
their commoner president. And so
the bands play the national airs, and
the people dance, and sing such rude
songs as this:
Louis was the king of France before
the revolution;
They cut off his head, which hurt his
constitution"

/ supervised by government officials
and they can make no changes in
rates without the approval of the min
istry of public works.
Further France has a highly train
ed and numerous technical corps, the
Oldest in the world, so efficient that
the railroad companies themselves
draw their leading operating
officers from them. For long
time, moreover. it has had a small
state railroad systems 1811 miles in
1860, which, though consisting
chiefly of lines once chartered to COM
panies, but so improbable that the
companies were unable to complete
them, was yet an admirable school Of
practice for the government officers.
In 1906 this state system earned $5,-
9O9 gross and s1526 net per mile.
The systems of the six great COM
panies may be described as, with one
exception (the Southern), sections of
a circle having its center at Paris. The
Western lines reach the coast from
Dieppe south to Brest, including the
great port Of Havre. It's traffic has
been unfavorably affected by the i'm
provement Of the Seine below Paris
This was done at great expense, and
no tolls are imposed
France Is surrounded on all sides
but on (Spain) by state railroad sys-
TENS. In Belgium and Germany the
governments have long worked the
railroads; in Switzerland and Italy
the state operation began recently
There has long been a strong party
in France in favor of state operation,
which early in the sos seemed likely
to prevail, but was avoided by new
contracts with the companies, which
then took on new obligations and had |
their concessions extended.
Should results on the Western sys-
TEN improve notably under the state,
other systems will probably be requlr-
ed; but France needs to move eau
tiously in assuming any additional H.
nancial obligations.

FRENCH GOVERNMENT BUYS RAILROADS

The vote of the French senate foI
the acquisition by the state of the
railroad system of one of the six great
companies, the Western, marks the
surrender of the more conservative
interests to a movement which has
been years in progress and doubtless
could no longer be resisted safely,
says the Railroad Age Gazette
The lower house had repeatedly vot-
ed in favor of the measure; but va
rious ministers who, when deputies,
had committed themselves in favor
of it, have apparently desired its de-
feat in the senate, not so much be-
cause of change Of views on the prin-
ciple Of state ownership as because
of fear that with the present temper
of the employees, and the power which
their organization can exert, an ad-
ministration aiming to do justice to
the whole community could not be
effected.
Socialist deputies, whose ideal
NOulu Ot NllC VI ull
productive property, have, when re-
sponsible ministers, opposed meas
ures demanded by the employees, feel
ing sure that they would soon result
in financial disaster. OF all countries
in the world, except perhaps Prussia,
France seems at first glance best pre-
pared to undertake the management
of It's railroads. It has always virtu-
ally owned them.
Every line has been laid out by the
state and the substructure built at
It's own expense, and the six great
companies which work them have
had substantially a long lease (origl-
nally for so years., at the end OF
which lease Git was prolonged some
time ago. the lines fall into the pos
session Of the government on its pay
ing for the rolling stock.
The state guarantees dividends on
he shares of these companies, and
to a sinking fund which
will retire the principal at the expira-
ion Of the concessions. Its expen-
litures on account Of these guaran-
ees amounts to an enormous sum,
md for several of the companies con-
inues to this day. In 1905 the West
rn company required on this account
bout 31,200,000, working at that
ime 1888 miles OF road, and earning
I the average rate Of 313,sO4 gross
nd 147es net per mile. The COM
'anies have their operations closely
