Some Good Stories Told by Lawyers The

"And the king and Ilaman sat down
to drink, but the city of Shushan was
perplexed." They seem to be having
a big time at' Washington, but' the pa
tience of the people is about exhausted.
Their respect for that august assembly
known as the United States senate has
changed into disgust. The argument
has been exhausted. All that is worth
saying has been said and the country
demands a vote. IIow long, oh, ye
Catalines, will ye abuse our patience?
We want no more speeches.. We have
ceased to read them. They only make
confusion worse confounded. The peo
ple feel very much like the drummers
did in Texas last fall. They made it a
rule on every train that if a drummer
dared to say Hogg or Clark they would
put him off. at the first station. They
did put one off at Palestine, but learned
afterwards that he was going to stop
there anyhow. For pity's sake do let
us have a rest vote and be done with
it. We don't care much now how you
vote, but do something and stop this
everlasting fuss. Silver and gold and
bimetallism and single standard and
free coinage have been thrust into our
eyes and our ears until a patriarch like
me is afraid to open a newspaper or go
to town. I read about two men run
ning for life over another man and the
Iolice arrested them and asked them
What were they running for and they
said the other fellow was just back
from Chicago and wanted to tell them
about the fair and they had heard it so
often they couldn't stand any more of
it. Just so I am ready to evacuate
when a man begins with silver and gold
to me. I had rather read about snakes
or cyclones. " Dr. Parkhurst, the great
preacher, is over in Switzerland climb
ing the Matterhorn and the Weisshorn,
and in a late letter says it is just glori
ous to get away up 15,000 feet on Alpine
heights where no daily news of Tam
many or heresy or bimetallism can
afflict you. I envy him and would go
there, too, if I could.
The other day I traveled with Judge
Brown and Bill Glenn and General
Phillips, from Marietta to Atlanta and
not a single word of polities was
mentioned. They are tired too. Judge
Brown cut his wit keenly all around
and put us in the cautious state. I
didn't know that he could be so delight
fully sarcastical. He got after Bill
Glenn, but didn't make much 'off -him in
the long run. He told many anecdotes
about how Glenn used to worry him
when he was .on the bench and how he
always got even with him.
Their talk reminded me that a few
weeks ago I visited the ordinary's office
to find but how many marriage licenses
he had issxied to white f oiks and h w
many to negroes in this county diir
fng the year. I wished to coin
pare the ratio according to population,
and to my surprise I found that the ne
groes got married about like the whites.
"0 yes," said the ordinary, '"the negroes
out-marry the whites some of them
marry" two or three times a year. A
negro will quit his wife in Atlanta and
come up here and get another one and
call for his license and get married, and
stick until she quits him or he gets
tired of her, and then he skips over to
Rome or somewhere and tries it again.
They are very fond of getting married."
Colonel Stausell was silting by, and
said in a very mournful tone of voice,
'"that is so, major, I have a nigger's
note in my office for twenty-five dollars
that he gave me last fall to get him a
divorce from his wife. She had quit
him and 'tuck up' with another nigger,
so I brought the suit, and just before
the last court I learned that he had
gone to Chattanooga. I wrote to him
to be sure and come down to prove his
cane, and he wrote me back very
promptly, and said: 'Colonel StanscU,
since I bin to Chattanooga I done found
another 'oman what please me mighty
well, and so about that divorce bisness
you can jes drap it."
I was. reminded of this when Judge
Brown said, ''I . never saw my friend
Glenn so completely demoralized as he
was in his divorce case of Henry Brown
a negro, against Susan Brown, his wife.
The ground of divorce was desertion
and other bad conduct, and Henry was
put up as. a witness to prove it. The
woman did not appear, nor was she
represented, and Glenn seemed to have
a very easy-going case. 1 le proved all
that he wanted to by Henry, and told
him to come down. Now, I always
sympathise writh women, white or
black, in divorce cases, for it is generally
the ' man who is the rascal, ' and so I
thought J would ask Henry a question
or two at random. "Hold on a minute,
Henry," said I, "where is yoiir wife
now?" "She's at my house, jedge,"
said he. "What is she doing there ?"
said I. - "She's cookin' and washin' and
pickin' cotton, jedge." "Are you living
together as man and wife," said L "Oh
yes, jedge, in course we is. After she
lef me, she come back and poligized,
and what else could I do, jedge, but for
give her ?"
I looked at Glenn, and it seemed to
me he had shrunk up some, and I said,
"what do you say to this, brother
Glenn?" He was badly demoralized.
"What did I say?" said Glenn. "Tell
what I said." Judge Brown didn't
seem to remember exactly, and Glenn
refreshed his memory. "I said that
this was another illustration of how
closely the Brown family always stuck
together regardless of color or previous
condition. That's what I said, and I
repeat it now it is very remarkable."
General Phillips and I listened with
keen relish to their wit and anecdote.
The judge told us how he got taken in
not long ago in Atlanta. He said that
a kinsman gave a dining and" invited
him, but not expecting him to come.
Mr. J. C. Bosweil, one of the best
known and most respected citizens of

never" attended a first-
ass society dinner with distinguished
guests, and so I concluded to go jutt to
Roe how the thing was done. At my
house, we generally dine about one
o'clock, and so as I didn't want to be
late; I called at 12:30 o'clock so as to
give ample time for introductions, etc.,
but soon found that I was a little pre
mature and rather lonesome. In course
of time, I learned that dinner would
not come off until 6 o'clock, and so I
retired in good order,, and went back
about 5 o'clock with a better appetite.
I enjoyed the feast immensely, and the
goodly company, and behaved myself as
well as Canton country manners per
mitted. The hours flew" so swiftly by
that I was not aware of the time of
the time, of night when I dispersed, and
as I retired I told my kinsman that as
it was a little late I would not stay ..to
supper. It - was just midnight when I
got to my lodging pkuie. Next morn
ing I took the early train for Marietta,
and on arrival, I told my landlady that
I had had no supper and no breakfast
and not very much sleep, and she won
dered where I had been. I wasn't so
extraordinary hungry, but I had lost
my supper, and it always worries me to
skip a regular, meal. - I ought to have
eaten my dinner before I went there,

NOT A iy10N"Y-MAKING SCHEME.
Ex-Senator Evarts Finds His Farm in Ver
mont a Costly Toy.
"It costs considerably more to run a
farm than ' people imagine," remarked
a man to a Boston Herald contributor
a few days ago.' "A man may support
a yacht, go off on long" crnises, enter
tain liberally and gain the reputation
of being a hail fellow well met; but
oftentimes, it 'has been' asserted, the
running of a farm is still more costly.
- People as :a rule labor under the im
pression that the' returns more than
offset the outlay. They figure that the
owner raises enough of vegetables and
fruit to last him from year to year, arid
the fact that he can eh joy home-made
butter is something not to be disre
garded in -summing up the profit and
loss. ' Now that idea is entirely erro
neous, which I think I can prove to
your satisfaction." ,Then, settling him
self in his seat, the speaker went on
to tell of the agricultural experience
of William M. Evarts, the famous New
York lawyer, who has just celebrated
his golden wedding on his farm.. He
realized at one time, it has been said,
an income of over 50,000 yearly from
his practice. He was also the owner
of the place at Windsor, Vt., on which
a gang of men was constantly em
ployed. On one occasion a lady, hear
ing of Mr, Evarts large, income from
his profession, exclaimed in the pres
ence of the attorney's wife: "IIow rich
they must bcT to which the latter re
plied, in a qfuiet manner: "You forget,
madam, that we own a farm." It is
also related of the distinguished law
yer that, while entertaining a number
of friends at his home one evening, he
produced several bottles of champagne
and a quantity of milk. Turning to
his guests he said, without a semblance
of humor: "Gentlemen, here is some
milk from my farm and here is some
wine. You can take your choice, they
both cost the same."
DEAR FOOD NOT THE BEST.
Illgh-Priced Market lroIncts Are Usually
" j Not the Moot Nutritious.
Prof. W. O. Atwater, writing in the
September Forum, claims that the
maxim "the best is the cheapest" does
not apply to food. The best food in
the sense of that which is sold at the
highest price is rarely the most eco
nomical for people of health. The
food that is best fitted to the real wants
of the user may be the very kind which
supplies the most nutriment at the
lowest cost. Round steak at 15 cents
a pound contains as much protein and
energy, is just as digestible and is
fully as nutritive, as tenderloin at 50.
Mackerel has as high nutritive value
as salmon and costs from an eighth to
half as much. Oysters are a delicacy.
, If one can afford them there is no rea
son for not having them, .but 25 cents
invested in a pint would bring only
twenty-nine .grams, about an ounce, of
protein and 200 calories of energy. The
same bo cents spent tor uour at 50 a
barrel, or 3 cents a pound, would pay
for 420 grams of protein and 13,700 cal
ones oi energy. v iien a day laborer
buys bread at 74 cents a pound, the
actually nutritive material costs him
three times as much as it does his em
ployer who buys it in flour at ?0 a bar-

Cleaning Silverware.
About the last thing done to silver
ware in the factories is to cleanse the
surface of all grease and other mate
rial used in the polishing, a process
that usually involves a deal of hard
labor. A mechanic who had noted the
expensive character of this work in
vented a j bath in which the foreign
substances tbat cling to the surtace
of silverware are; easily and quickly
removed. From this bath the silver
ware comes clean and brilliant. The
employers of the inventor have pat
ented the process with his consent.
and the patent is regarded as a valu
able property, ,

ABSOLUTELY PUBB
IN THE SENATE
The "Wilson-Voprheea Repeal Bill
Still Claims Attention,
TOE NO VOTE YET IS SIGHT.
--. .-. ... - -
In the House the Republicans Filibuster
Against the Repeal of the Federal
Election T.a ws Democrats
. Gain Their Point.
September 19. Mr. Stewart offered
ameudments to the Wilson-Voorhees
silver bill and they were ordered
printed inviting Mexico, the South
and Central American republics, Hayti
and San Domingo to join the United
States in a conference to be held with
in four months, for the purpose of
adopting a common silver dollar of not
more than 283.13 grains, which shall
be a legal tender for all debts public
and private. : He gave notice that, at
the earliest convenient opportunity,
he would address the senate on the
amendments. At 12:15 o'clock, on mo
tion of Mr. Harrison, the senate went
into executive session, for but a few
minutes, and then Mr. Peffer called up
his resolution offered Saturday last,
directing the committee on interstate
commerce to investigate the recent
train robberies.
Mr. Hale reported that there was no
senator who desired to address the
body on the silver question. He,
therefore, suggested that the senator
from Kansas be allowed to speak on
his resolution. This consent was
given and Mr. Peffer took the floor in
advocacy of his resolution. Several
other senators' had something to say
concerning the resolution, and the de
bate became general. Messrs. Dolph,
Vest and Hawley objected to it upon
constitutional grounds, and upheld
state rights in dealing with crimes
of the character described in resolu
tion. . -
The resolution was not disposed of
at ltSOo'clock, at which hour the sen
ate, in accordance with a special order,
headed by the vice president and the
officers of the body, left the chamber
in order to attend the ceremonies in-
cident to the celebration of the cen
tennial anniversary of the laying of
the corner stone of the capital.
Septembeh 20. In the senate, Mr.
Squire. ...republican, - of Washington
gave notice of a substitute which he
intended to offer for the bill to repeal
the silver purchase act, and it was
lead in fulL It provides that the own-
ers of silver
any mint to
silver of the
bullion may deposit it at
be turned into standard
present weight and fine
benefit. He is to be paid
ness, for his
however, only such
dard silver dollars
a number of stan
as may equal the
commercial value of the silver bullion.'
The difference between the nominal
and coined value of the silver bullion
is to be retained by the government as
seigniorage. The coinage of silver dol
lars is not to exceed $4,000,000 a month,
and the total not to exceed $200,000,
1)00. Thev are to be full legal tender
and no silver certificates are to be is
sued, j
A resolution to pay Mr. Ueckwith
82,000 for his time and expense in
prosecuting his claim for a seat in the1
senate under appointment from the
governor of Wyoming was taken from
the calendar and agreed to. :
Also like resolutions to pay Mr. Man
tle from Montana and Mr. Allen, of
the state of Washington, $2,500 each.
M r. Voorhees made a sensational de
nunciation of the New York bankers
and press for questioning his motives;
regarding the repeal bill, and impera
tively demanded of the minority sena
tors to name a day for coining to a
vote. Mr. Duboise opposed any at
tempt at this time to fix a day.
September 21. In presenting a peti
tion for the unconditional repeal o
the silver purchasing act today Mr.
Morgan said that it was one of those
petitions emanating from New York
capitalists, and that he regarded it as
a mandate from them, not from the
people1 of Alabama.
After some twenty minutes ispent
in the routine morning business Mr.
Voorhees moved ro proceed to the
consideration of the bill to repeal the
silver purchasing act.
Mr. Piatt rose at the same moment
h to make a statement.
Mr. -Voorhees was impatient at the
interruption, but yielded, and Mr.
Piatt explained that as Senator George,
of Mississippi, desired to speak upon
the repeal bill he would not today in
troduce that amendment to the rules
relating' to the closure of debate, oi
which he gave notice yesterday. He
would do so, however, at some future
date.
Mr. George then addressed the sen
ate in opposition to the" repeal bill.
As he happened to differ, he said, from
the democratic administration on that
very important question, and as he
believed that a large majority of his
constituents concurred in the position
which he took, he believed it to be his
duty to state, with some precision, the.
views which led him to refuse his sup
port to the bill now before the senate.
The passage of that bill, he thought,
would be a leap in the dark, as likely
to increase as to diminish the aggre
gate of the evils from which the coun
try was suffering. He was convinced
that the present disasters were nbt at
tributable in any manner to the Sher
man act.
In the house the republicans were
finally defeated in their filibustering
tactics, by an agreement arrived at by
the democrats in caucus. The report
of the committee on rules was agreed
toyeas 1TG, nays 9, and the speaker
proceeded to call the committees for
reports. " -
Mr. Tucker reported the federal elec
tion bill and it was placed on the
house calendar, arid then the house at
5:45 o'clock adjourned.
September 22 The fight over the
federal election bill was inaugurated
in the house this morning by a request
from the committee on rules, pro
viding a cloture by which a vote shall
be taken on that measure on October
10th.
no
After a short passage between Mr.
Reed and the speaker (relative to
the journal, the approval of the latter
was deferred, and Mr. Catchings pre
sented the report of the rules commit
tee, providing for taking up the elec
tions law repeal bill on September 2ft
and a final vote on October 10.
The yeas and nays were called on
ordering the previous question, and it
was ordered, 175 to 4.
In the senate Mr. Piatt offered his
cloture rule. Discussion was closed by
letting the matter go over until tomyor
row, when Mr. Teller is to speak against
it.
Mr. Piatt was complimented by Mr.
Voorhees for his clear and lucid state
ment of the situation.
, Substitutes for the resolution wer
suggested by Mr. Hoar and Mr. Hill.
A strong argument in favor of the
cloture rule was made by Mr. Lodge,
although he recognized the fact that
adoption of the rule would be made
use of to pass measures which he con
sidered worse than the Sherman act
that is, a new tariff bill and a bill to
repeal the election laws.
September 23. The consideration of
the committee on accounts assigning
clerks to committees was resumed by
the house, the pending question being
a motion to lay upon the table a mo
.tiou made by Mr. Crane, of 'Texas, to
reconsider the the vote by which the
house yesterday agreed to the Paynter
substitute depriving certain smaller
committees of their clerks. The me tion
to reconsider was tabled yeas, 142:

ASLEEP ON THE -TRACK.
A Flagtnan Loses His Life lty Sleeping
While on Duty.
AsiiEVir.T.K, N. C, September 23. J.
L. Woodruff, a flagman, was killed
by his own train last night at Melrose,
a station on the Asheville & Spartan
burg railroad. The flagman was sent
to the rear while the train was shift
ing, and after going back far 'enough,
as he thought, to be out of danger from
his own train and to warn the north
bound train, he sat down with his lan
terns, with his feet across the rail, and
soon fell asleep. His train backed
down the track, and as he was on the
opposite side from the engineer, he
could not be seen. The wheels of
four car passed over his body, cutting
off both legs.
Everything possible was done for
the suffering man, - but he only lived
four hours after the accident, and was
conscious much of the time. Wood
ruff was 26 years old, unmarried, and
a native of Elkin, N. C. .

Doctor Did you give him that
opiate I prescribed ?
Patient's Wife Every two hours,
doctor, just as you said. It was aw
ful hard to wake him up to take the
medicine though.
I cheer, I help, I strengthen, I aid,
I gladden the heart of man and maid,
I set constipation's captive free,
And all are better for taking me.
Thus spoke one of Dr. Pierce's
Pleasant Pellets. (They are pills
that speak for themselves.) Very
small, very nice to take, produce no
nausea or griping, yet are most ef
fectual in all cases of constipation,
billious or sick headache, or deranged
liver. Only 25 cents a vial, at drug
gists. A perfect vest-pocket medi

The Economy of Generosity.
It was a maxim of Lord Bacon
that, when it was necessary to econo
mize, it was better to look" after petty
savings than, to decend 'to petty get
tings. The loose ' cash that many
persons throw away uselessly and
worse would often form a basis of for
tune and independence for life. These
wasters are their own worst enemies,
though generally found among the
ranks of those who rail at the injus
tice of "the world." But if a man
will not be his own friend, how can
he expect that others will ? Orderly
men oi moderate, means have always
something left in their pockets to help
others ; whereas your prodigal and
careless fellow who spend all never
find an opportunity for helping any-'
body. It is poor economy, however,
to be a scrub. Narrow-mindedness
in living and . in dealing is generally
short-sighted, and leads to failure.
The penny soul, it is said, never came
to twopence. Gemerosity and ' liber
ality, like honesty, prove the best
policy after all. Smiles' .Self Help.
