Striking Detective
Novel in LippinCott's

So many detective stories have ap-
peared in print Of recent years that it
is becoming increasingly hard for an
author to evolve plot which is wholly
original. Nevil Monroe Hopkins seems
to have succeeded in doing this, how
ever, in his new novel, "The Investiga-
tion at Holman Square," published
complete in the September Lippinc-
otis. The plot hinges upon a mysteri-
GUS murder in New York City. The
slayer has no intention Of paying the
penalty of his crime, and he uses the
utmost ingenuity in arranging for the
taking off of the man whom he has
marked for death. Unfortunately for
him, the services of private detective,
Mason Brant, are called upon, and
BraDt finally succeeds in unravelline
the mystery, clearing the host of limo.

culprit apprehended The author die

able to forecast the outcome early il

will succeed in doing so. The low
story of young electrician who helpl
Brant in the case, and young girl rel
ative of the murdered man, is charm
ingly portrayed and acts as a relief tC

Parties who have been in Blountville

Clinch mountain tunnel and that trains
will be running by the 1st of November
to Rotherwood, point near the mouth
of the North Fork river, at the west
end of Kingsport, where the piers for
the big bridge have been erected. The
train will then bring the steel work

Preserved Pears
and Peaches

Peel the pears without removing the
stems; peel and stone the peaches.
Weigh them and allow q pound of
granulated sugar to every pound of
the fruit. Cover the bottom of o pre-
serving kettle with layer of the sugar,
put fuit on this, another layer of sugar,
and proceed thus until all are used.
Let the kettle heat slowly at the side
of the stove and stew the fruit in the
sugar until they are clear and tender.
This should not require much over half
an hour. The fruit must then be re-
moved from the sirup with perforated
skinner and spread out on large plat
ters, while the sirup is again brought
to the boil and cooked fast for about q
quarter-hour. Skim frequently, and
when clear and thick arrange the fruit
in wide-mouthed jars and pour the sir
up upon them. THE Delineator.

NEGROES FOR BRYAN.
Bishop Walters Urges His
Race to Vote the Dem
OCratiC Ticket.

Henry Watterson, editor Of the Lou
isville Courier Journal, gave out at the
democratic national headquarters in
New York an advance copy Of an ad-
dress which is to be issued by Bishop
Alexander Walter, of the African Meth
odist Episcopal church, to the colored
people of the country. BishopWaltsrs
alludes to Judge Taft as party to
the blacklist conspiracy ever perpetrat-
ed against negro soldiers" accuses
President Roosevelt and the republican
candidate of having practically en-
dorsed the lily white movement i'll the
south which has for its ultimate object
the practical elimination OF the negro
from politics, and adds that "the ap-
pointment of the Hon. Luke E Wright,
of Tennessee, an ex Confederate soldier
and democrat, to succeed Mr.. Taft as
secretary of war, was big bid for dem
Ocratic support"
"The republican party" he continu
es, "has shown itself impotent to enact
further legislation in our interest. This
is evident from its failure to have con-
gress pass bill to have lynchers tried
in federal courts.
"The democratic party" he asserts,
'is the only party that can change the
discriminatory Legislation which has
been enacted against us without great
political upheaval, amounting almost
to revolution. Whenever we have
had sense enough to help the democrat
ic party, notably in New York city, the
democrats have always shown willing
ness to treat us with consideration.
After stating that he had been in.
formed that Booker T. Washington had
abused him for urging colored people
to vote for Bryan, the bishop declared
that he merely urged colored people to
divide their vote and Judge for them
selves on the question at issue, although
he himself would vote for Bryan.

Blind Men
Seldom Smoke

Blind men seldom smoke. Those
who were inveterate smokers in their
sighted days find that after losing their
sight pipe or cigar has no attraction
for them. The man who has no eyes
to watch the smoke curl and drift about
his head apparently has no use for
cigar,
Smoking to the absolutely blind is
something different from smoking in
the dark. Besides, few smoke in to-
tai darkness. Usually there is starlight
or freight enough to enable man to
keep track of the smoke. When depriv.
ed OF that fascinating pastime the cigar
loses its charm, and the man who is
blind resigns himself to smokeless old

Republicans Will Vote
for Gov, says Heard
" TRAMPS AND THUGS {"
What Tillman Called the

es at Nashville.
Chattlnos ga News.

ChattAnos ga News.
Attorney B. A. Heard, of South
Pittsburg, brother Of j. H. Heard, of
Dunlap, county judge of Sequatchie
county, is at the Stag Hotel. B. A.
Heard states that while Marion county
is republican by good majority, Gov.
Patterson and Judge Moon will carry
the county, though Taft may win over
Bryan.
Mr.. Heard said: II am of the opinion
Gov. Patterson will carry Marion over
Tillman by at least $50, and he carried
it over Carmack by 403 votes. Some
republicans in Marion will not support
Tillman on account OF his abusive
speech in Nashville last March, de-
nouncing the Brownlow. Oliver Austin
and Littleton republicans as tramps,
section hands and thugs.
This CRATES on the ears of . number
of Marion county republicans who
openly state they will not vote for Till
man for governor.
"Gov. Patterson's 8 administration has
been able and democratic to the core.
Since his recent and brilliant campaign
over the state no one will be such big
fool rs to insinuate or claim that Gov.
Patterson can not meet Tillman on the
stump.
II don't believe there is a man in
Tennessee now, whether he has half
sense or the whole amount, to claim
that Gov. Patterson fears any living
man in this state, democrat or republi.
can, on the stump. The Sequatchie
valley will do her part and give Gov.
Patterson large democratic majority
on the Sd of next November.
"Then, too, there are a large number
of republicans over there who on &C.
count of Gov. Patterson's conservative
views will support him in preference to
George N. Tillman, as they do not like
the Sanders machine.
81 believe Patterson's re. e.election il
assured by at least 25, 900 majority and
1 think he will have q legislature in
harmony with his administration"

The trainers of our federal system
not only bound all the agents of the
states from the president down to the
lowest federal officer by solemn oath
to execute justice, but gave them
written constitution as clear and un-
changing chart Of official power. Now
let us see with what fidelity these
agents of the states in few cases COM
piled with their oath and executed the
will of the people as they had sworn to
do. The first case grew out of the
election of president in 1900. This was
twelve years after the adoption OF the
constitution and was a trick of the alb
solutists to cheat the people out of their
choice for president. The convention
OF 1900 that nominated Jefferson for
president and Burr for vice president
adopted platform Of principles. In
his first inaugural address Jefferson
repeated and amplied every one of the
declarations of that platform, and it
has become the wade mecum of democ-
racy for more than q hundred years.
But when the college of electors met
they cast the same number of votes for
Jefferson and Burr without specifically
saying Jefferson was to be president
and Burr to be vice. president. Upon
this fiimsy technicaity the absolutists
began o contest to turn the election
into a farce, cheat the people out of
their choice, and make man president
who had been voted for to fill another
office. In case of moral treason like
this the people needed a council ,of
governors to protect the states from
traitors Everyone in the United States
who voted in the election of 1900 abso-
lutely knew that be was voting for
Adams or Jefferson to be president,
and there was no one expected con-
gress to usurp the sovereignty of the
states and make president of any one
else besides John Adams or Thomas
Jefferson, for these two men were the
only candidates for the office. Yet
these moral traitors TO the republic
pretended not to know who the people
had chosen for president, and cast
thirty-six ballots in the house to make
man president who had not been q
candidate for the Office.
A council of governors in this case
with full powers of conciliation and ar
bitration as the Amphictyons had three
thousand years ago could have settled
the matter in a session of ten minutes
time, classified the traitors with Bene-
; dict Arnold and assigned them to their
proper place in history. 1t is fortunate
for the American people that an auto
crat like Cannon was not speaker when
these anarchists made their first at.

BRAND NEW POLITICAL STORY.
It's Good One Even If 1t Has Ele-
ment of Improbability.

There are stories of deals between
Long and Stubs over the governorship
fight, but here comes the rumor of d
deal between Long and Bristow over
the United States senator fight
The gossip is that Senator Long and
]. L. Bristow are personally on very
good terms; that they have worked to-
gether amicably at Washington, and
have been able to reach a common
ground for conversation about their
mutual ambition to be United States
senator.
The understanding is so the story
goes, that having eliminated Stubs
from the senatorial fight, Long and
Bristow were both well pleased, and felt
that they could fight it out between
themselves without dragging in any
mud-slinging as feature for the con-
test. They were both for Taft, and
both stood we'll with this presidential
possibility. The arrangement was
made with Taft's assent. that in case
of Longs defeat and Bristow's cleo
ton, Long should be given the job of
secretary of the interior, while in case
of Bristow's defeat and Longs election.
Bristow would get the position of post
master general
