speech on the floor of the United
States senate Saturday, directed in
tie interest of strict economy in the
expiditures Of the government He
urged that the country throw off the
800, 600, 600 military expenditure and
let the Philippine islands go. The
passage of private pension bills was
strongly opposed and laws favoring
a head tax on immigrants wers fav-

acted by the government, he said,
SO as to permit the removal of du-
ties on laborer's tools. printing
presses, barging and ties. His
speech was an argnment against the
iniquitous policy of the protective

gray. At Memphis the report comes
that the city was crowded with visi
tors, not veterans, and hence. the
old scar-wnrn veterans were crowd

should be made or else abandon this
reunion business altogether. There
is nothing too good for the old con-

Nashville, the grandson of Oliver
Bliss Hayes, one of the pioneers OF
the capital of Tennessee.
The first view Miss Davis had Of
Mr. Hayes was at Calvary church,
where as Vestryman Mr.. Hayes took
up the offering. On her return from
the service Margaret said TO her
mother that she had seen man she
felt sure she would marry. Her
premonition was amply justified,
for an ideal love affair followed the
introduction, and the FIRST of the
January following the wedding took
place in Calvary church The world
was clad also in bridal white, and
the JOY bells that welcomed the new
born year rang in one of the happi-
est married lives possible to human
ity; for with these two, lovers al
ways, duality ceased to exist and
entity OF life and purpose took its
place Miss Davis went to the altar
ON the arm OF her noble father. and
Winnie. then a child of eleven, was
maid OF honor while young Jeff,
then in his early twenties, was the
groomsman. A grand reception fol-
lowed. where all of Memphis So
ciety came with good wishes for the
fair bride and. noble groom. At
this reception the wedding cake
served was brought from England,
and had been buried in Theoretically
scaled tins for Gfty years. The REM
uant of the cake was then sealed,and
was opened again for the wedding
of Narina. the oldest daughter born
to the young couple
Mr.. and Mrs Hayes 1ivcd for

Hayes was very prominent in bank

mother: Lucy White who bears the
name of her fathers mother; and
Jefferson Davis Hayes. who by the
act Of the Louisiana legislature be
came Jefferson Davis, receiving the
name in baptism over the coffin
containing the body of President

Mr.. Hayes developed throat trou-
bile. and the doctors ordered him to

who married Dr. Gerald Bertram
Webb, a descendant of an English
ducal family. To this marriage have
been born three children-Margare
Varina, for her grandmother, Mrs.
Hayes, and great-grandmother Mrs.
Davis, this little lady self-styled
Marco, was the pet and constant
companion of Mrs. Hayes, Gerald
Bertram, the only great-grandson
Of Mr.. Davis, and Robina, named
for her English grandmother. DR..
Webb is a specialist and has more
than national reputation.
Mrs. Hayes impressed her vivid
personality upon all who were 50
fortunate to know her. She was bril-
liant in conversation, gracious in
manners, and Of so intense a mag
netism that even without her great
beauty she would have been observ-
ed in an assemblage In person she
was tall and built upon grand lines
Her face was almost pure Greek in
outline with large, dark velvet eyes
that could flash and sparkle in con-
versation, soften to winning tender
ness to a child, or brim over with
tears at some tale OF suffering, for
she had the brain of a statesman

creamy richness OF a magnolia petal,

hair that her hfty-four years never

Mrs. Hayes had not been strong
since her mother died-nothing or
ganic, nothing the wisest doctors
could grapple; but within the last
six months the want of vitality crys-
ta1lized into a general implication OF
the functions. Like a flower fading,
she gradually wasted away. Her
room was a floral bower with love
tokens from many friends sent day
by day, and everything in the power
of humanity to aid or comfort was
at her bedside. Her sufferings were
past words to express, but even her
nurses never heard a groan nor
murtnur. Her husband and all her
children were around her, and her
little grandchildren made her room
their play place. To them Mamie
as they called her, was only another
and more delightful child, one to be
amused with blocks and to be inter
ested in their pet puppy and kittlcs

Negro Troops Are Not Welcome in
Northern States.

Those champions of the negro
troops in congress who go into such
Mysteries whenever Southern com
munitles let it be known in unmis-
taxable terms that negro soldiers
are not desired in this section will
receive a shock when they hear cf
the protest of the people of two
towns IN northern Vermont against
the quartering in Fort Ethan Allen
of regiment of negro cavalry.
These good people give as their
reason for objecting to the negro
troopers that they fear that there
may be a repetition of the expert
ence of the people of Brownsville
Texas, if 1900 negro soldiers arc
permitted to range through their
towns. They are even talking Of
providing separate cars for negroes
should the government insist OIL
billeting the negro cavalry in their
neighborhood
How will Senator Foraker and
other men like him relish this dis
taste of his New England friends
for close contact with the colored
brother? In abolition days these
same people loved the negro we'll
enough to advocate war in his be
half, but when the government pro
poses in these piping times of peace
TO quarter 1900 negro troopers near
town with barely 1000 whites
there is a howl Of protest.
The papers of the two communi-
ties near Fort Ethan Allen protest
against what they call an innovation
as negro troops have not hereto
fore been quartered in New Eng
land or anywhere to any extent
east Of the Mississippi river. AS
long as these negro soldiers are
kept in the South, or anywhere else
at a distance. Our New England
friends favor the enlistment of ne
gro soldiers. but when it comes to
sending them to New England gar
risons it is a quite different story,
Southern people will view with
amusement and some satisfaction
the quartering Of all the negro
troops in the Northern states, and
particularly in New England, 50
that these good people can have a
good taste of the thing they have
so often advocated for other parts
Of the country. The enlistment OF
negroes in the army or navy was al
ways a bad thing, and it never
would have been attempted except
for political purposes. BY quarter
ing these negro troops III the north
the war department will adopt the
best possible way of ultimately get
ting rid of them altogether by max
ing them unpopular with those sec
tons Of the country Shat control
legislation. This is white mans
country, and there ought to be no
difficulty whatever in securing all
the white soldiers needed without
employing four negro regiments.

regiments were authorized for po
litical purposes. and have been main
