I have always had a tender feeling for the moonshiner. Of course he is law breaker. but as a rule he is a pretty good sort of a fellow for all that. I there fore confess to sympathy with Judge George c. Perkins of Covington. Ky, who on a recent visit to New York said :: 'Oh, yes, moonshiners still moonshine in the Kentucky mountains. but the pros cautions of them to my mind are largely unnecessary. Besides there is too good an inducement to prosecutionsl in the shape of fees for clerks and marshals The whisky made in the mountains is for local use and distilled by people who could not buy it. Not a gallon would ever come Into competition with the tax-pay- ing whisky.
 "What I have seen justifes me In the belief that the prosecution of only the larger and more important makers of mountain whisky would serve all the ends of the government and save lot of hardship
 "The tobacco war is still on in Ken lucky" continued the judge. but the night riding is over. While all good citi- zens condemn night riding the forma- tion of a farmers combine, an opposi- tion trust to the tobacco trust. was just ifiable in that 1t prevented the greater trust from fixing the price of all tobacco, as it had done for years.

$1, ,000, ,000 The securities representing the amount were handed to her in state at a dinner given to her in New York by James Henry Smith, better known to Wall street and society as Silent Smith. He had been her uncle's partner.
 While I was abroad Mrs. Donaldson said, "I met many men. But in the light of my experience, none of them ap- preached the ideals which a. husband must have when I marry another one.
 But found the continental gentleman a most inferior person to the Texas man. But just as far as the Europeon is be- hind the southerner-especially Texans he is ahead of your so-called northern gentleman I do not think I have ever met northern man. either from east or west, who was fit to marry a nice girl. There Is no real romance in them and no ehivalry They do not know how to act.
 Every northern father should send his son into the south to learn gallantry, just as he sends him to Yale or Princeton or Harvard to learn how to get along with men.
 When a southern training takes rec ognized place in the social education of northerners we shall hear less about the way the American girls are being mar ried off to European noblemen. For my own part, my fortune. of which a great deal too much has been said, comes from the great and glorious state of Texas. If in that state there Is a man handsome, strong, chivarous and steady, I might change my mind about marrying. But the northern man, Never again!'

MONARCHS DISCUSS
 EASTERN SITUATION

Vienna, October 1-(Special)-Whilet the recent visit of t1A German Kaiser to the Emperor Francis Joseph is officially said to have been of a purely personal nature and without political significance, it is stated in high circles that the two mon archs discussed fully and eonfidentially the near eastern situation and have come to a definite understanding on many questions which will do much to classify the Balkan situation.
 Among other things. I understand. which was discussed was a close agree ment between Turkey and the Drei-bund. Both Kaiser and Emperor are said to be heartily in favor of this move as cal culated to preserve the Balkan status and to effeetually put a quietus on any attempt to carry out King Ferdinand of Bulgaria's scheme for a federation of the Balkan states and ultimately Balkan empire.

 I suppose that the proposition voiced by Col. Hilary Herbert at Atlantic City. that the veterans of the northern and southern armies hold a love feast, will not be opposed by many men, either of the north or the south," said P. J. Brouil- lard of New Orleans, at the Metropolitan.
 "Of course, there are old fogies In both sections of the country who may still be living in the time of 50 years ago. and who may want to hold to their old-time enmity as long as they are on earth. But that does not represent the general spirit. I can speak with some confidence, be- cause I know the people of the south, and have travelled much in the north.
 "The popular novel of the day usually portrays the southerner as inherting all the feeling of his father and grandfather That sentiment is pictured as exceedingly hostile. Such stories are rubbish. The men of the south, even those who took an active part in the war and who suf- fered severely, ara not dead ones. Most of them are living in the present. and their sons certainly are. We are still fighting, but we are fighting for trade, for business, for the development of the most fertile section in this country.
 You may think that is sectional preju- dice. but it isn't. Louisiana has land that is ready for the farmer who is being urged to 20 to Canada. So has every other southern state. It can be bought at a reasonable price,-and the people are eager to take the newcomer in as neighbor. We want good, industrious. frugal citizens We think just well enough of the north to take all the good peopie we can get from there. We have many of them now, and they seem to like us, too.'

Berne. October 1.-(Special.) 1.-Two little boys of five and four fell into the river while playing on the banks of the Suze at Bienne Switzerland. A chimney sweep named Holzer. who saw the accident plunged into the water. and succeeded in saving one of the children and brought him safely to the bank.

 When Holzer arrived at his house al night he learned that he had risked his life to save strangers boy, while the second boy, his only son, was drowned before his eyes, though in the water he did not recognize his child.
 The fathers grief was terrible to wit ness, and he refused to see the parents of the child whom he had saved. You have your child, I have lost mine," was the message he sent by his wife to the thankful parents.

Ambassador Receives Apology

Constantinople, October 1.-(Special.)- The porte has made satisfactory explana- ton and apologies to the Italian Am bassador who was recently assaulted by a cabman and the incident closed. The refusal of the cabman to drive the Am basssador and party from Tophaneh to Pera led to fight between the cabman and his canvass
 The Ambassador went to the assistance of the latter, and. striking the cabman with his cane, succeeded in freeing the canvass. The cabman, thereupon, turned upon the Ambassador, but the canvass managed to keep off the assailant by us- ing his sword. The scuffle attracted the attention of the people in the neighbor- ing cafe, who were chiefly of the lower Class, and who sided with the cabman, uttering insulting epithets
 The party was compelled to abandon the cab and continue the journey by another route. The conduct of the crowd

OVER IN NEW JERSEY
ByRoBERT LEE CARTER

New York, October l. 1.-(Special.)-None of the eastern elections will be watched with keener interest by the southern colo in New York than that in New Jersey, for Dr. Woodrow Wilson, president of Princeton, who Is the democratic candi- date for governor of the state is a very highly considered member of the colony. pr. Wilson is a Virginian by birth and Georgian by marriage. His wife was Miss Ellen Louise Axson of Savannah. and he began the practice of law in At lanta.
 He is making a regular old-time cam paign of it and his friends have the ut most confidence in his ability to carry the state by such majority as will make him factor to be reckoned with in the next democratic national convention.
 They are hoping he may be the first southern man to be President after the war.

Discussing old political days in the south. before the majority of the south ern states disfranchised the negro, State Senator L. F. Patterson of Georgia re- lated an amusing anecdote to a group of friends:
 Twenty years ago the negro vote often proved to be the balance of power in the smaller towns and rural districts" said Senator Patterson. "The night before election day 1t was customary to corral the colored voters, the friends of each candidate going out into the highways and byways to round up all scattering ones. When the respective partisans were lined up 1t was customary to rent a large hall where the negroes might be entertained during the night in order to be ready for the march upon the polls the next morning.
 Tn order to pass the night away the negroes were encouraged to go into con- vention, thus affording an opportunity for speech-making. At the opportune mo- ments-which came frequently-drinks were passed around. At another oppor- tune moment some white politician would announce that a certain influential col ored citizen would take the chair as pre- siding officer. This pleased the colored brethren nightly
 Nose Green was named for chairman at the close of an especially bitter cam paign. Nose had influence although very ignorant himself. He walked gravely to the rostrum. while the half. hundred ne- groes and the few white men who were on guard cheered to the echo. When the applause had subsided Nose with be- coming dignity replied to the ovation as follows
 'GentIemens, I didn't come here for no 'liminaries. but thanks you for your excess. De convention will be in disor- der
 And 1t was-for the balance of the night But Nose delivered the vote next day"
