So uaus- ual was the appearance and theg ate titude of the young men toward their surroundings that the universal inter est of the spectators was excited, Not withstanding the atmosphere or ex- trenne depression which pervaded their movements, there was about theEn pitiful attempt at dignity and relnct" ant rejection of the offers of sympa- thetic strangers to atd them, which lm- piled undeniably the existence or pride not as yet overcome by the multAtud. iious misfortunes to which they seemed to have been subjectec.
 Various were the conjectures ventur- cd by those present as to the national ity and ocupation of the unknown youths. Foreigners, said several of the hv.eta ders-@-very probably pirates from some stronghold of the Orient noting socially the peultar express sion whih had adorned the uniquely desiened faces of the pair since they nrst came into eight, and an unwilling ness to move which they thought char acteristic of such people.

MINOR HAD ASTML
 ON A RIVER ISLAND
But the Revenue Omcers Took Boats
 aud Arrested Him.


 Frank Minor. who chose a romantic situation for the establishment of an illicit distiilery, was arraigned before Judge John A. Eimore yesterday and bound over to wait the action of the Federal grand jury. Minor put up still on an island in the Coosa River,
 The island was located northeast of Chiffon County in the very middle of the river. The only way of approach was by boat and Minor was confident that his lookout could see a boat full of revenue officers long before they neared the shore.
 All business was done by boat, too The customers padded over to the is- land, took aboard carload and pad dled back again. But the revenue off, Aver got wind of the affair. A crowd of them led by Deputy Collector Knox Booth bore down on Minors island and captured the water bound still.
 They brought Minor to Montgomery Tn the hearing before the Commission CT the proof was strong and Minor was bound over.

I believe that it is the best platform that this country has known for generations; that 1t espe- eially sets forth the party's position. There is no trimming; there is no hedging; there is no lodging; it is frank, candid platform and the tm- presSlon that it has made Is a most fs- vorable one and the Republicans are already in retreat on the subject.
