The Manitoba Free Press says Of
The Lottery Man which begins an en-
gagement Of three performances at the
Grand tonight: There were a series
of uutOward events at the Winnipeg
theater which, while they did not in
any way mar the performance, were
distinctly out of the common It IS
a serious question whether Manager
Walker Will not all this week need to
have a medical man in the audience,
Of course professionally; to render first
aid to the injured a large number OF
the audience were the victims of
alarming seizures. Some almost, If not
quite, burst their sides, others merely
split their sides, while in less serious
cases the sides merely ached. Another
phase Of the epidemic, for the disease
was distinctly contagious was that men
and women became nearly black in the
face, while few present escaped more
or less severe attack of hysteria."

Bristol, Aug. 30.-General Dana
Harmon, of Greeneville, and ID. A.
Vines of Johnson City, judge and at
toiney-general-elect, respectively, of
the first judicial circuit of Tennessee,
spent Monday in Bristol on business.
To reporter General Harmon and
General Vines stated that unless they
are enjoined by an order from the
chancery court, they will hold their
first court at Mountain City, Johnson
cotmy, beginning next Monday morn
ing. Judge A. j. Tyler, of this city,
has wound up his eighth term and re-
tired. There seems TO be question as
TO whether the contest filed by Judge
II. I. Campbell, of this city, and Maj.
Paul Divine, of Johnson City, defeated
candidates for judge and attorney-gen-
eral, respectively, will operate to make
necessary the appointment of special
judge and a special attorney general to
serve, pending the contest. Unless an
injunction is granted this week to re-
strain the newly elected judicial Off
GERS from qualifying they will open

Monday at Mountain City. They

Memorial Met hodist Episcopal
Sunday-School
In the discharge of painful duty we
are called upon TO announce the death
of our cassmate and friend, Jas. New.
man, who was called TO his heavenly
home on the day of August, 1910, by
He who doeth all things well.
Death is always sad, sad, when il
comes after months of lingering illness,
softened and ameliorated by the loving
care of parents and friends, but doubly
sad, when it comes so suddenly, as in
the case of our friend, who was taken
while in love with life and in the full
flush and vigor of young manhood.
And when it comes in this way and
we realize that the genial face, the
kind heart, the warm friendship, the
noble friend has gone from us forever,
we bow our heads, but we find no
words to fully express our loss:
GAS in the shadow of some great Attic
ton
The soul sits dumbn
The grave has closed over him I'M
timely, but his memory will remain
green in our hearts, when TO us also
comes the time when all shall be for
got Facing manfully, as we should,
the unknown country, the border of
which he has crossed only little in
advance of us, we come, not TO pay
him tribute in tears alone, but to re-
member him as a worthy classmate.
Resolved, That the record of our class
mate will remain with us as a sweet
incense; his memory will be honored
as that of useful friend, and he will
be remembered by all who had person
al intercourse with him for his earn
estness in labor, his friendly disposition
and tenderness of heart.
Resolved, That copy of these reso-
luti"ns be spread upon a page of our
records, and upon page of the records
of our Sunday-school, and that a copy
be forwarded TO the family of our de-
ceased friend, to whom we tender such
sympathy as we may fifty after with
out obtrusion on the sacredness of a
grief that our hearts may not fathom
and only time can heal.
Peace be to the soul of our dear class
mate, and may God give him eternal
rest. John M. Massengill,
