NEVER HURRY DOWN.

dressing, she certainly won't look
well. Wherefore she should rise In
the most leisurely fashion, make her
toilet as IL time did not exist. and
then she can stroll down to break
fast with her face smooth and serenr
and quite free from the lines which
fuss and hurry inevitably make.
That Is all very well for beauty,
but how about the hostess when the
leisurely riser chances to be a guest?
With houseful Of guests, every wo-

down to breakfast when she felt like

Tried to Shoot Train Hand.

Blacksburg, Special.-On Sunday
night three boys got on a freight train
at Gastonia and proceeded to beat
their way South. On the way to
Bessemer train hand was walking
the top of the cars back to the cab
and the three boy tramps shot at him.
One of them, Charley Boyles, was
lying flat on top of a car shooting
when the conductor came up behind
and secured him and brought him on
to Blacksburg, where he was locked
up. A deputy came down from Gas

Dallas. He gave the names of the

tracted - 10 Duyy....-.
the whole case against him has been
built upon the Interpretation placed
upon the word undertaken.
To bring this whole matter before
the public eye at once let it be noted
that Senator Tillman some time ago
urged that certain land grants, in
Oregon had been forfeited by lack of
compliance with terms of the grant
and urged that they be sold. While
looking into the matter he concluded
to make an investment himself. When
certain investigations were being
made by the secret service men this
was discovered. In the late troubles
between the President and Congress
about the secret service appropria-
lions which the President wanted re-
stored to former suficiency and the
charges by Congress that the secret
service department was becoming of
fensively active. the President used
strong language which Congress
looked upon as reflections on that
body and demanded Of the President
instances to Justify his language.
While disavowing anv intention Of
discourtesy he complied so far as to
give names that furnished the basis
Of his language. Thus the cast of
Senator Tillman became a part of
the justification Of tie President.
1t seems that the Senator's case
was stumbled upon while making eel
tain other investigations. 1t is also
stated that certain parties who were
offended with, Senator Tillman's
urging the sale of this Oregon land
resorted to this method of revenge to
put the President in possession of the
facts Of Senator Tillman's purpose to
acquire some of this land.
The Senator. it is well known, is in
danger of physical collapse but will
make strong personal defense be-
fore the Senate. Now he finds too
that an envelope with certain i'm
portant papers which he left (before
going to Europe) in his private dcsE
in committee room are missing. He
does not charge that they were taken
by detectives but such was possible
from the fact that there were only
common locks on the desk.
To add to the complication Post
master Barns has sent Senator TIL
man a bill of $1,000 for postage fol
a typewriter that the Senator had
frankcd from Trenton, S. c., to Wash.
ington. it being claimed that he hao
no right to send it under the frank
ing privilege. The Senator refuses
to pay the bill on the ground that il
is the governments typewriter. that
he was using in the interest of the
public and that it was the custom SO
to do, he having never heard Of any
rule promulgated against it.
Had II been his own private affair
he would lave expressed or freightec
it. Senator Tillran has been accredlt-
cd with rigid honesty as is President
Roosevelt, the former fiery to the term
of "pitchfork" and the latter imn"l,
sivc to an unusual degree. Witha
the public will most probably pass nc
Judgment until further developments

The only incident worthy Of note
in the proceedings of the House of
Representatives and which caused a
good deal of amusement was brief
discussion of the forthcoming African
hunting trip of President Roosevelt.
incidentally there was a reference to
the famous so-called Ananias Club.
The whole debate hinged on the
newspaper story stating that Major
Edgar O.. Mearns, of the army, was to
accompany the President and that in
order to do SO he had been put on the
retired list with increased rank. The
matter was brought up by Mr.. Mann,
Of Illinois, in connection with the
consideration of a bill authorizing the
issuance of commissions to officers
who retire with increased rank.
The remainder Of the day was de-
voted to the consideration of a num-
Der Of miscellaneous bills and resolu-
tions.
At Sis p. m. the House adjourned.
