the scene of a Crescent City ro-
nance" at noon on Wednesday, MAY
IA, when Miss Jessie Roy of Yon-

to DR.. II. II. Mcclellan of this place.
The impressive ring ceremony was
performed by the rector of the OLD

After seeing the sights of the An
Gent City with Capt. and Mrs. La
Bree, who had on the day previous
met Miss Roy in Jacksonville, accom-
panied her to st. Augustine and been
present at the wedding, they re-
turned in Capt La Bree's fine tour

been night superintendent and a IA
vorite nurse and it is needless to men
ton the success of the doctor in his
profession as well as in making
friends since he came to this town
some time ago.

INEQUALITIES OF MIND.

Widely Varying MentaIities Are Es-
sental to Society.
The inequalities of mind are numer-
Gus and various as the inequalities of
matter One mind sports with worlds,
another with atoms. One man perch
es himself on Mount ChimbOraZo and
communes with the stars; another
delves into the earth in search Of hid
den treasures and buries himself in
mines and minerals. One man moves
along with the hardness of the OK in
the drudgery of life; another ascends
in balloon and scars above the clouds.
Here we find a Newton measuring
the comets path, a Franklin stealing
fire from heaven, a Columbus in search
of new world, and there a sportsman
with his hounds in quest of fox. One
delights in his revelng and song, in
riotous living and the giddy dance, an
other in locking up his golden pelf in
an iron chest.
Talk we, then. of minds equally en-
dowed by nature or improved by art!
No such minds ever composed any com
munity. Varieties, all manner Of va
rieties. are essential to society. The
world needs the rich.a and the poor. the
young and the aged. the learned and
the unlearned, the healthy and the in

OIdtime Perfumes.

Perfumes were in common use in
the ancient world but views have
changed as to the pleasantness of va
rious odors. The smell of aloes is
now considered disagreeable by the
majority of people, but in the old days
aloes, both as solid extract and as
wood, formed a staple perfume or aro-
matte. Saffron, moreover, was a most
popular perfume with the Romans,
and was much in favor in England
until about the sixteenth century.

Apply Gag Rule and Get Re-

Gambler County. after the first gen
timely spectacular fight of the session,
was defeated on the floor of the House
to-day by a vote of SO TO so.
Undoubtedly the advocates of the
measure were largely responsible for
this unexpected turn Of affairs. They
called for the previous question under
the rules. Being sustained by the
House. the call shut off all deba te,
save in favor Of the new county.
Then the enemies of the bill raised
the cry Of gag rule" and this ad-
vantage was pressed to Gamblers IN
doing.
AS member after member explained
he had intended voting for the new
county. but would not now in view

dler was marked for slaughter
Defeat Is Thorough.
Being a constitutional amendment.
Il required a two-thirds vote. II
failed to receive even a constitutional
majority.
Realizing that tactical blunder
had been made, the advocates of the
measure endeavored to reconsider the
call of the previous question and per-
NIT both sides to debate the question
but under the rules of the House the
Speaker was ~owerless to give either
side any aid or comfort in that direc-
ton.
There was nothing to It but the roll
call. And that settled Gambler.
During the debate much bitterness
was evidenced now and then upon the
part of members both for and against
the measure.
Gag rule" was vehemently charged
by one side, only to be as vehemently
denied by the other
Reconsideration To Be Moved.
After the vote had been declared,
Mr. Wohlwender. of Muscogee, gave
notice of a move to reconsider the
measure, and it doubtless will be re-
considered by the House. In that
event 1t is not likely that Gambler
will come up again this session.

clared, Mr. Whta tley said that he had
not meant to say that Wohlwender
