She intrusted the bird, with many

"Seasickness, or something, killed

Washington.-A resolution for the
erection in this city of monument to
the memory of Gen. Robt. E. Lee, CON-
mander-in-chief of the Conferedate
army, was introduced by Representa-
tive Ferris, of Oklahoma. The relief
is expressed in the resolution that
"the erection of statue in commen-
dation of Gen. Lee will contribute in
a marked degree toward blotting for
ever from the minds and thoughts of
the citizens of the nation the late un-
fortunate conflict.

The Southern Situation.

Montgomery, Ala.-In speech at

Of the Southern Cotton Association
among other things said: "Why is it
that the South shows IA per cent
more ignorance and 3S per cent more
poverty than other sections of the
country, and of other parts Of the
civilized world" The answer is the
way the price of cotton has been
slaughtered. The ignorant negro and
poor white farmer has had to go up
against the organized brain and cap
ital of the world, whose profits in
crease as the article is cneapened.

st. Louis, Mo.-Texas cattle sold
at the National Stock Yards in East
st. Louis at the highest figure reached
in any market since 1902 Live stock
dealers say last October and Novem-
ber cattle feeders found themselves
unable to borrow funds to purchase
feeders. The result has been that
fewer cattle have been fed during the
past winter than for years.
The top price paid in the cattle
market at East st Louis the past week
was for twenty head of native steers
from Mexico, Mo-, which sold for
$7.15. They were fair in flesh and
quality.
Commission men say the st. Louis
cattle receipts are $4,000 short since
Jan. 1, as compared with last year.
Kansas City, Omaha, st. Joseph and
other Western markets also show a
big shortage. Chicago has just about
the same receipts as last year, but is
beginning to feel the shortage, which
cattlemen claim is the cause of the
recent big increase in the price OF
meat, both retail and wholesale. The
farmer or ranchman who has cattle
ready to market will reap rich re-
ward for the next few months, ac-
cording to those who claim to know.
These men say there will be but little
if any decrease in prices until the Ok
lahoma grass-fed cattle began to come
along in the early summer.

ADOPTED CHILD
GETS THE COIN OF RICH NEW

THE CLAIM is SET UP
That j. S. Stout Was Led to Believe
That Dorothy Blackburn Was His
Daughter.-Denied by
Mother.
Mother.

New York.-Charging that the de-
fandant palmed off an adopted child
as the daughter of her aged admirer
and thus obtained bequests amounting
to $150,000, Mrs. Josefa NJ. Osborne,
the wel-known society dressmaker,
and ether heirs of the late Jacob Stout
have begun suit to set aside trust
fund of $150,O0O in favor of Mrs. J.,
S. Blackburn, the widow of son of
bhe former Kentucky Senator Of that
name.
It is alleged in the complaint that
when Mr.. Stout died on July last
at the age of eighty-seven, he had
been convinced that he was the ia
ther of the girl, Dorothy Blackburn,
and on that account drew up the pa
Pers giving the money to Mrs. Black
burn and the girl.
Mrs. Blackburn denies that any
fraud was praeticed on the testator
and asserts that he knew the child
was adopted and willed the money
purely out of his admiration for the
girl.
Mrs. Blackburn denies that any
Of Gen. Sterling Price of the Confei-
sracy, has for ten years past lived
IN this city.
By way of meeting the suit, Mrs.
Blackburn, through her counsel, Will
lam K. Olcott, has applied to the su-
preme court to be appointed guardi-
an of the child. In her application
she declares that she is not the mother
of the child and that she never tried
10 make Mr.. Stout believe that he
was the father of the girl. She says
that she adopted the child out of
sympathy for a widow named Holtze,
who could not take care Of the little
enc.
Mrs. Blackburn asserted that she
met Mr.. Stout ten years ago, he COM
ing to one Of her 4 o'clock teas, and
ne saw the little girl and became very
fond Of her.

At the Top Notch of Fashion. Patron
ized by Men, Also.
Within few years there has been a
remarkable growth of tearooms in
Paris.
For years the only one was Neale's.
Neale long kept the only English book
store in Paris, and over it he had
tearoom, where the English papers
were on file.
Printed injUnctions of Silence"
were hung about, interspersed with
Illuminated texts from the Bible. 1t
was a most incongruous spot in Paris,
which is singularly ignorant of both
silence and the Bible.
Now, however, English tearooms are
springing up all over Paris. They ex-
ist for tea alone. From four to six
English speciaIties can be obtained,
like toasted mullins and scenes. There
is music, and some of them are exceed
ingly fashionable.
At Rumpermeyer's women dressed by
the great modistes are sent every day
to advertise the toilettes of the house
by wearing them through the tea hours.
Even the men are beginning to desert
absinthe and frequent the tearooms in
great numbers.
A curious influence of the new in
stitution upon ancient customs is that
the French woman may go alone to the
English tearooms; the first public eat
ing place in Paris, according to the
Travel Magazine, in which the privilege
has been hers. 1t is the English wo-
mans contribution to the emancipa-
ton of her sisters across the channel
