Political Prominence

Then the travelling public was obliged to bunk three deep in
the old Willard Hotel; today a new nineroom addition, steam heat
ed and electric lighted, graces the Willard, besides the new Oliver,
which is just completed, which is one of the finest in the state and
a hotel that every travelling man will tell you is equal in every way
except in size to any hotel in any city. Then we were a town just
coming into prominence in state affairs; today the attention of the
state and nation is conferred here as the home of the states ex-
ecutive, our present governor, Hon. K, S. Vessey, whom a great
many of the people of Audubon have met while we were associated
in the land business.

in-cbief of the Atlantic battlesnlp
feet, will present a formal request TO
the navy department asking to be re-
Iieved of the command of the feet. In

for detachment from command OF the

BURGLARS DELIBERATE.

The store of ]. Glassman at Spring
Hill, was broken into and robbed sat
urday night and the robbers apparent

was gained at about 2 o'clock at night

in their operations. They went over

clothing department and evidently
tried on suits until they got q Mt,

be pretty heavy. Efforts were made
to trace the robbers, but without sue

AS it is believed that big shake-up

The battleship Ohio has sailed TOT

of Customs Stuart said that the col

amount of money was collected. He
found no officer or man who desired
to evade the law. Few of them hao
more than 800 worth of goods, ano
the amount, he said, could be LANDED
without the payment of duty. In some
cases the inspectors reduced the value
of goods listed for entry below In

advertisement was too high. OmcerS
entered them at what they paid fol

NASHVILLE, Tenn, Feb. H.
There was a surprise in store for those
who we're not on the inside in the
Senate when that body was notified
by the clerk of the House that the
latter was ready to receive the Sen
ate in joint convention as provided
for by resolution for the purpose OF
electing the state election boards,
state comptroller and state treasurer.
Fruitless opposition was made TO any
such procedure by Senator Cox on the
ground that the Senate could not,
quorum being absent, take any action
but adjourn from day to day. This
objection was promptly overruled,
however by the speaker and the Sen
ate at 10 o'clock, the hour set, pro-
ceeded in a body to the hall of the
House of Representatives where the
Joint convention was held according
to pre-arranged program. The joint
convention took no final action this
morning taking a recess until 3 p. m.
Another feature of the situation which
may bring on further legislative COM
plications is a. report that an effort
may be made by the administration
forces to break a quorum In the
House. This report is positively de-
MED by some of the administration
leaders in the House. OF the thirteen
runaway senators who yesterday Sc
cretly left Nashville to break quorum
in the Tennessee Senate eight are
comfortably quartered at Hotel La
than, Hopkinsville. They arrived In
the city last night and quietly spent
the evening in the Bald Headed Row
at theatre. Their purpose they say
| in leaving Nashville was to break a
quorum in the General Assembly to
prevent the holding of a joint legls-
Iatiye convention to elect members OF
the state election boards, Comptroller
and Treasurer. Senator Sugg, one OF
the missing senators is at his home on
account of his wifes illness. Four
senators are in Alabama. The runa-
ways say if necessary to prevent the
passage of Objectionable election laws
they will resign from the senate.

tains rise abruptly into the air from the roadway with a continuous line of little houses clinging to their feet. Every where are huge cactuses-hcht d lndla-a delicious fruit; here lemons sell for sixty cents a thousand. These same railroad tracks have on either side hedges or giant geraniums four five feet high, which are in blossom all the year. Tho entire region is justly famed as the gar den spot of Italy. In March the fields are ablaze with scarlet peoples the hill- sides are covered with purple clover The whole island is a veritable bower of flowers especially in the late winter and the early spring. Sweet mignonette, violets, the trailing barba di glove, and many other flowers, whose names l do not know, grow in wild profusion.
 But to return to Faro. The town was so called from the lighthouse, built there to warn sailors of the dangerous whirl- pool of Charvbdis. From this point Ca- labria appeared at her best. The various little hamlets, villas, peasants huts, ter raced gardens and rugged mountains all stood out In wonderful clearness. Just above Villa S. Giovanni on the Calabri- an shore was the old town of Scilla, (Scylla), built upon the rocky promon- tory which was so much feared by the sailors of Homer and Virgil. Beyond and above Scila lay the town of Bag nara still further beyond might be seen the light colored buildings of Palermi, which were also lost. This is the north ern limit of the disastrous effects of the earthquake, although shocks were felt far north as Cantanzzaro and Cosenza. It seems unthinkable that so much that was beautiful has been destroyed and that so many thousands of human lives have been crushed out in an awful in stant.

 "Tell me how you began to write" I asked seating myself in a capacious chair of blue stamped leather.
 "You ask me the old story" Miss Lib bey began, "a story old to me, and yet, l suppose, new to others. We'll I first began to be an authoress at the age of fourteen, while I was still at school My teacher said to me, Laura, 1 think you'd make an authoress,' and she sent one of my essays to MT. Robert Bonner of the New York Ledger. He wouldn't believe it came from one of her pupils
 Now, Laura, Pm going to send him another' she said I'm not going to ask you to write about flowers or trees; tell him your thoughts on writing I wrote this essay and MT. Bonner sent for me. When I got to his office I felt like running away. But he called out to me, Come in, little girl. come in I went in and said who I was, and he said: Come and sit down here, child. Suppose you write a little story and bring it to me-? l went home and wrote one of forty or fifty chapters. When I took it to him found that he only required one of half a column. He told me to go back and write another story. I spent three months on this ,and put my whole heart and soul into it, and it was so good that he agreed to publish it. and paid me $40
