OF Paris, and thus put stop to war which
was making heroes out of shad-belly Shafter,
little Joe Wheeler and Strenuous Teddy
leaving nothing to Bryan but camp flies and
dysentery
Well, see how Theodore is keeping his hand
IN. Having made monkey Out of Bryan in
the last campaign, he pretends to go off to
Africa to shoot big game Bryan comes out
OF his hole to make sarcastic remarks about
tigers in Africa" Then Theodore and all the
nature takers club in on Bryan and remind the
poor old chap that there amt no such things
as tigers in Africa. Whereupon w. ]. B. pulls
the hole in after him.
Theodore sails away to Italy, his publicity
agent accompanying, primed for business.
Does Teddy pace the deck?
The news is wlrelessly flashed to us
Thanks, awfully
Does Teddy shake hands with the passen-
gers? We are told of it, effusively. Does he
dance with. girl? We get it for early break
fast. Does he fall into the water? Does some
body want to kill him? Does somebody else
want to hug him? Do the police manifest
anxiety? Do crowds turn out to stare and
cheer? Does the King of Italy come to shake
hands? We are not allowed to miss a detail
J.
AS to Booker and Bryan, they are not any
where in sight Nobody, at present, knows
what either of them is doing and nobody cares.
We have eyes and ears for Theodore, only
1t is true that an obscure item in the papers
informs us that North Carolina man has
been blessed with triplets, and that he has
named all three after the Nebraska sounding
board; but later dispatches reveal the fact that
this man has only recently become convinced
that Andrew Jackson is dead, and therefore
we consider his case sporadic, and not entirely
hopeless
Roosevelts luck is standing by him. The
dagoes believe that the 100000, which our
fool Government sent over there to relieve the
earthquake sufferers, came out of Theodores
pocket The 24o homes for Italians that have
already been built by American work1nen, out
of American materials, are believed to be the
result of Roosevelts individual exertions. The
,24o other homes for destitute Itafians, that
we are constructing over there, are apparently
accepted as Teddy's personal donation
Consequently, Roosevelt has been the hero
of the hour in fair Italia. He has been saluted
Toasted, toasted, cheered, ovated and deliriously
made much Of until his journey resembles a
royal progress.
At least, that is the impression his publicity
agent makes on U.S. and we guess that the p a.
can not have invented all of it.
Theodore is now on his way from Italy to
Africa; and soon as he gets there, and the
circus begins the performance, we will let Our
readers know what happens.

MNOdlHel III WHICH lie stated Cndt Mr. w atSOn
had no connection with the case and that THE
MONEY OF THE ESTATE WAS PAID
OUT ACCORDING TO A DECISION OF
THE SUPREME COURT, which gave it to
Greene County for educational purposes, in
spite of the efforts of the Allison legatees to
break the will
In the meantime, we received letter from
Mr.. Norton asking whether we would publish
reply from him. Of course we answered that
we would. His card, therefore, appears in
this weeks paper
He denies that he used the language at
tributed to him by Mr., Pitcher, but he says
Fourth Furthermore, I said that the heirs
had never received or had gotten any part of
that estate; and that the last account of the
estate it was in the hands of Mr. Mcdaniel as
Executor and yourself, as the legal representa-
tlves of the heirs
Gov. Mcdaniel has already stated, over his
own signature, the positive fact that the estate
was paid out according to law and that none
of it remained in his hands.
The statement of Norton that Mr. Watson,
ever was in possession of that estate, or any
part thereof, IS A MOST OUTRAGEOUS
FALSEHOOD. Nor was he Watson, ever,
for a moment, the legal representative of the
heirs.
a certificate from Mr.. A. J. Roberts, to the
effect that in 1860, or 1870, he turned over to
Mr.. Watson some copy of some paper, relating
to this estate.
Mr.. Roberts, whose identity we did not fix
until the receipt of the Norton letter, is labor
ing under some honest mistake. He could not
have given Mr.. Watson valuable papers con-
corning lawsuit in 1862 or in $780, for Mr.
Watson was at that time a student of the
schools at Thomson,-a lad of thirteen or
fourteen.
At the time when the Supreme Court de-
cided the Allison case (see 46 Ga. Reports, p.
88, and those following), Mr. Watson was a
clerk in the store of T. E. Massengale, at Nor
wood. That fall, he went off to college, 10
year old youngster.
TO be specific, it was in March, 1872, that
the Supreme Court of Georgia decided this
case against the Allison legatees, and in favor
of "the poor children of Greene County"
The case sounds,

Mrs. Starke
Gwyn Allison, in April, 1865, made his will,

OFF,
BUT FAILS TO COME HOME
Valuable Canine and Pet of Neghborhood MOurned as
Lost by Owner, Who Believes He Has Been
Stolen.

When Wotau. a great dane. and the
particular pet Of Miss Edith Totten,
failed to report at his home, 1708 1
street northwest. last Sunday night
after having been gone all day, little
concern was felt by Miss Totten and
members of her family, because Wotan
is an old WashinEtonian and knows his
way about the city like a book Fur
thermore. he has not always felt it
incumbent upon him to come home
nights if he didn't care TO, and so his
absence was little needed beyond casual
comment.
But Wotan is still missing, and not
only Miss TOtten but members of her
family are mourning his loss. and the
police of Washington and friends Of the
family are eXerting every effort to find
him.
WotaH is a great, big. lOvable Dane.
His coat is white with light brown spots
streaked with black. He has big, kindly
eyes that look out at one as IL TO say
I'm your friend" and, indeed. this has
made him many friends throughout the
city He IS a familiar figure in the
nelghbOrhOOd where Miss TOtten lives.
Frequently Wotan has taken trips
downtown alone and has come back
when he pleased. but his desire to wan
der about never kept him away from
home more than twenty-four hours. and
Miss TOtten feels sure that he is being
held by some one probably for reward
or sale
If he is in Washington Miss Totteu
feels sure that somebody who knows
him viii recognize him and let her
know. A close watch is being kept for
the dog and his owner VINO is deeUIv
attached TO him, hopes that he may be
returned. Notice has been sent to other
cities. and II lac has been taken out OF
Washington there is reason To believe
he may be located.

IN WESTERN STORM
Sacramento and San Joaquin
Valleys Cut Off From

SACRAMENTO, Cal. Jan. H.-Il is
feared that many lives have been lost
i'm a violent storm which ragged all night
IN the Sacramento and San Joaquin
valleys, and which, according TO early
reports. caused Immense damage.
In Sacramento several buildings were
unroofed, the electric lighting plant was
put out Of commission. and street car
traffic almost /paralyzed. The damage
through the valley cannot yet be learn
ed as all wires are down.
Following the thirty-two hours of con-
tinuous rain, the lower part Of Stockton
is inundated. All the rivers are rising,
and the levees which have been strain

Ties of dog thefts is being pursued Ike
Gently. &c Is said, General Miles lost a
valuable dog. The dog was accustomed
to going about the streets by himself
and it's owner knew he would have re-
time afterward the dog, it is said, was

with nothing TO show from where he
had been sent.
Many other persons in Washington
have reported the same trouble arr 1T
is believed these thefts are being com

VIII be forthcoming.
So. If ANYBODY sees a white, great
dane with brindle spots roaming around
anywhere i'm Washington, or knows OF
anybody who has such dog chained
up anywhere, he win confer "a favor
on the family OF Miss TOtten by giving
them AMI information that may lead 10
