An Unprecedented Farce

FROM the National Monthly.
The truth of the matter is that there
has not been republican law placed
upon the statute books within q genera
ton and which these same republicans
are prone to point to with pride, but
that Cannon was Instrumental in writ
ing 1t there. The rules of the House,
against which there is so much denun-
citation, are with the exception of the
Fitzgerald and the Norris notifications
made In the present Congress- the same
ole Objectionable gag rules giving abso-
lutte power to the House machine, which
every republican who has served in the
House for more than one term has voted
for. Furthermore, they have, practically
all of them, voted for all the special
gag rules which have been reported by
the Cannon machine. They have been
the rules, unchanged, during more than
six years of Cannon regime, and they
were in existence long before Uncle
joe was elevated to the speakership.
With the exception of eight republicans
who entertained more or less personal
grievances against Cannon. every repub-
lican In the House. including those who
are now talking about removing him.
voted to place the gavel in his hand.
Now that there is a countrywide protest
against the continuance OF the republic
can party In power they interpret that
protest 20 be against Cannonism rather
against republication. The fact of the
matter is that it is republcanism direct
ly and Cannonism indirectly against
which the voter of the country are pre-
pairing to register their disapproval. Re-
publicanisrn IS a cause; Cannonism is
merely the result of the system which
has been working in the House of Repre-
sentatives ever since the republicans re-
gained power 16 years ago, and the re-
publicans, who see defeat and disaster
ahead, are endeavoring to make them
selves and the country believe that to
remove the venerable speaker, whom
they have created and clothed with all
the power he possesses, would eradicate

ORIGIN OF MErEoRIc DUST
B0mbardment of Shooting Stars-A
Never Ending Shower

From the Chicago Tribune.
Meteoric dust particles are infinitely
finer than grains of sand. They have an
interesting origin Meteors or shooting
stars have been bombarding the world
from the beginning at rate estimated at
many thousand an hour. of which, how
ever, an average of only five or six are
visible to the naked eye in that time
Owing to our protecting envelope of
weight meteors vary from a few ounces
to many pounds. Occasionally one is of
sufficient dimensions to survive the pas
sage of so to 100 miles through an at
mosphere increasing in density as the
earth Is approached.
The speed at which they enter the at
mosphere, calculated at not less than
30 miles a second, generates such In
tense heat by friction that the iron, of
which the meteor principally consists,
Is Immediately reduced to an incandes-
cent vapor, which Is the luminous train
80 frequently seen In the. heavens on a
clear night. The vapor rapidly cools and
condenses in the form of these minute
particles, which assume the spherical
form as does shot during It's fall from
the top of the tower
Finally the little spheres are scattered
by the winds and currents in the upper
air and gradually descend in their mill
-lione as an invisible, never ending shower.
The perfect condition in which these
neteors are found Is due to the presence
OF certain noncorrosive elements, found
by analysis to be present in the metal
OF meteors which have come to earth.

PROVISIONS ARE SENT
OUT FROM BIRMINGHAM

J. H. McCary. manager of state Mines
received information of the burning OF
the stockade yesterday morning. Mr..
McCary stated last night that he had
received no authentic information regard
ing the number of dead and injured.
Mr.. Tate, secretary of the Red Feather
Coal company. went to Lucille yesterday
morning, but when I talked to him he
could not give me any information re-
garding the number of dead. He told
me. however. that three convicts, who
had previously set fire to the prison,
were responsible for the fire which
burned the prison this morning.
II am informed that the night watch-
man In the prison discovered the fire
and attempted to extinguish 1t. but was
unable to do 50 When the fire began
to gain a Roadway he gave the alarm

negroes became panic-stricken upon see

death.
Mr.. Tate stated that none of the con-
victs escaped.

The Days of Man

From the Smart Set.
Man born of woman is of few days
days full Of women.
In his infancy, women trot him upon
their knees when he wisheth to lie in
his cradle and think They give him hugs
and kisses when he thirsteth for milk.
And 10, when he hath grown lusty and
strong and his soul craveth caresses.
they give him the merry ha-ha!
In the days of his childhood he riseth
to be spanked by nurse. At eventide
he saith his prayers In the shadow of
slipper upheld by the hand that rocketh
the cradle.
The days of his youth are darkened
because many women give him the nit
ten; and the years of his manhood are
embittered because one woman did not.
He goeth forth In the morning-to be
sued for breach of promise.
At high noon, still man though sadly
harried, he seeketh refuge on the altar;
and behold, he emergeth from the sane
tuary but the half of a woman.
He seeketh his bed at night and 10,
how the woman with the serpent s
tongue stingeth his ear!
He acquireth mistress by marriage
and loseth her by divorce.
By toll he accumulateth pile. and
hath 1t halved by alimony. This he re-
peateth many times until he thinketh
Verify, It were better to wed rich
grass widow and feed upon the succulent
green heritage all the days of my lfe.''
| But 10, the widest pasture hath fence,
which soon becometh an offence.
Like a Gagged game cock, he panteth
| for freedom--and f1ieth the coop.
| He soareth in his aeroplane, and falleth
into rocky place and the last sleep with
his aviation boots upon his feet.

METHODISTS ELECT
THREE NEW BISHOPS
CONTINUED FROM PAGE ~


the Rev. ]. C. Kilgo were elected Over
100 names were voted on for bishop on
the first ballot. Both ministers elected
received the hearty congratulations of the
delegates. DR.. Kilgo wept when the vote
was announced. w. B. Murrah received
the next highest number of votes for
bishop, and it was thought he would be
elected at the afternoon session. The Sec
ond ballot in the election of bishops,
taker at the afternoon session, resulted
in the election OF the Rev. w. M. MUIR
rah, president of Milsaps college, jack
son, Miss.
At late hour tonight the committee
on episcopacy decided to keep Bishop
Morrison on the active list, but will rec
ommend to the college of bishops that he
be given light work.
The committee on education will recon-
mend that the vacancies existing in the
board of trust of Vanderbilt university
be filled by this conference. 1t also sus-
tained the special report of the bishops
which complained that the board of edu-
ca tion had delegated to its executive COM
mittee the right to confirm the board of
trust of Vanderbilt university, and will
recommend that they do not do so in the
future. The action of this committee
practically proclaims the right of the
Methodist church to have a voice in the
control of the university.

K. S. Bates, in the May Atlantic.
1t may safely be said that control of
the weather by sorcerers was alto
gether disbelieved in by very few per-
sons In the sixteenth century; but If
the belief was held more strongly along
one coast line than another, 1t was
round the Baltic rather. than elsewhere.
AS late as 1870 traveller tells us how,
being becalmed off Finland, the captain
sent ashore to buy a wind from a wiz
ard; the fee was 10 kroner (say So
shiilings) and pound of tobacco The
wizard tied wooden rag to the mast,
with three knots in it. Untying the
first knot produces just the wind they
want, southwest. That slackening, un-
tying knot No. revives 1t for time,
but knot No. brings up a fearful
northeaster which nearly sinks them.
"Qui nescit orare, discat navigare," was
much-quoted phrase; true enough of
one traveller, 1t would appear. seeing
he is reported to have prayed during a
storm: 20 Lord. l am no common beg
gar; do not trouble Thee every day
| for never prayed to thee before; and
| IL 1t please Thee to deliver me this once
l will never pray to Thee again as
| long as I live.
