The minority—Chairman McKenzie, former Senator Dial, of South Caro lina, and R. F. Rower—said it made its recommendations “unhesitatingly,” and added this statement: “It is with great reluctance that we turn toward government operation, being well ad vised of all the infirmities inherent in such an undertaking. The great investment cf the government nt Muscle Shoals, however, the import ance of its continued maintenance, as a part of our national defease. the erg in*, need of pgrieulf nre\ for mode and cheaper fertiliser, and the favor able opportunity ,of meeting that need all compels us to disregard our pre judices.

LaFollotte. of Wisconsin, who . ai the next session will take the place lin the Senate so long held by lus 1 father, will be the fifth youngest man ever to sit in that body and the first under 31 years of age to hold a scat I there in more than half a century. When he takes the oath of office at the opening of the session on Decem ber 7, lie will be aged 30 years, 10 months and one day, having been bom on February 6, 1895. The Constitu tion provides that no person under 30 years of age may qualify as a Unit ed States Senator. Scarcli of the musty records at the Capitol discloses, however, that de spite this constitutional inhibition all of the Senators younger than Mr. La- Follette took the oath before they had reached the age of 30 and that their presence ns members was not seriously questioned. When Henry Clay presented him self for the oath for the first time on ! Nov. 19. 1800, at the age of 29 years, j 7 months and 7 days, some Senator 1 inquired as to his age. "I hope my colleague will pro-1 pound that question to my const it-, uents,” Clay replied, and there the j matter dropped. Three others efen younger than j Clay qualified- They were Armistcad ; Thompson Mason, of Virginia, aged j 28” years, 5 months and 30 days when he took his seat on January 3, 1810; Elias Kent Kane, of Illinois, agitl 28 years. 8 months and 28 days when he was sworn in on March 4. 1825, and j Stephen Wallace Dorsey, of Arkansas, who was sworn in on August 4, 1873, I at the age of 29 years and seven days. against D’Hestereux. The latter would contrive to be a witness against his neighbor, and accused him of striking of one of his farm hands. The enmity became more bitter daily, De Boisseux losing no oppor tunity to heap insults upon both D'Hesteraux and his wife. Finally a more violent incident than usual set fire to D’Hpstreaux’s brain and on the morning of July 30th, seeing the de tested couple preparing to drive out on a round otf visits, he rushed down into the court yard and shot first De Boisseux and then his wife as they sat in their carriage. Both were killed. D'Heistreux has ended the feud as probably some of his forefathers did in the middle ages in the same court yard—only they would hnve used a sword or dagger instead of n revolver. The' local nobility is in two camps, eagerly awaiting the verdict. !
