week, but programs anil arraBuremeEts

the week. ,
Unless this happens, Mr. illill 'will
speak today, an:l therrf will ba rtattii-al-ly
much in erest taken m tho line the
C'ew York senator will take in the tar
iff diseussiou.
Mr. Ijxlfe, of Massachusetts, is down
for a tariif speech tomorrow, and on
Wednesday Mr. TetTer. the Kansas pob-
ulist, proposes to give a f urther install-
ment of the speech he Las already i
ct.mraenced in favor of his own tariiS j
bill, and will probably be followed by '
air. Hale. However. he may iot be aide j
to finish until the next dp.y. Mr. j
Mitcneil, oi I'res-on, is down lor
Thursday, and Jlr. Qnay for Friday.
Mr. Uill is expected to take the door
at 2 o'clock today. The apparent op
position of Mr. Ilill to the tariir" bill as
it at present exists,' and his expressed
antagonism to the income tax feature,
have caused a very great desire on the
part of his colleagues to hear what he
has to say, and especially on the part
of the majority, who have the tariff
measure in charge. Jlr. Hill is sure to
have an audience, and the members of
the house will be present in numbers to
listen to the man who is thought to
hold the liey to the tarilf situation.
There are other important matters
pendkig in the senate. Among these is
the Chinese treaty which Mr. Morgan
is anxious to get out of tha way. . .-.But
little headway was made Saturday, the
discussion being" largely upon the ques
tion of how the treaty should be con
sidered. This contest w ill probably be
renewed as soon as Mr. Ilill finishes
Is is speech.
Jlr. Call, has still part of his unfin

Florida appo ntments, and he showed
sufficient strength last week, to go
into executive session agai::st the pro
tests of Mr. Harris, who occupies the
position of outpost among the ialLia"
mentaries on his side of the chamber.
Today is one of the Mondays set
apart for business pertaining to the
District of Columbia, but as the Dis
trict has no especial represenative in
congress to look after its interests, the
postoflico appropriation bill, which was
the unfinished business, is up. .
The item under disenssioa is one ap
propriating 196,000 for special and
necessary facilities on what is known
as the southern mail, from Springdeld,
Mass.. to Atlanta, and. New Orleans.
This is the only line ia the United !
States so favored and tv.-o members of
the committee from which the bill
came have formally opposed t h? item in

It is not generally known to the i

is one oi tne nest educators oi tne ;
United States. He was a professor in
the university of Georgia at the time
the war began, and when it closed,
leaving himself and all his friends
poor, he opened a boarding school for
boys at his home, near Sparta, in
Georgia, and made here for years 20,
030 and upward annually by teaching.
He had about fifty boys, who paid him
tuition fees of 500 a year, and the
most famous families of the south sent
their children to him. Very few teach
ers in the United States to-day can
make as much as 520,000 a year, and

and it was nvt until I came to Balti

teaching. In the meantime I had
written seme short stories, which were
published in a southern magazine that
was .then printed here in Baltimore.
These now form part of my book,
known as the 'Dukesborough Tales.
They aUraeted attention, but I never
thought of their having any money
value until one day Mr. Aldenrthe edi
tor of Harper's Magazine, asked me
v.hat l had received for them. He was
surprised when I told him that I had
written them for nothing, -and he said
that he would be glad to have me do
F.om'e writing for Harper's, and that if
I could give him stories like those he
would pay for them. 1 then wrote
some stories for Harper's. They w-ere
published and paid for, and-1 have
been writing from that time to this.
My first t;tory was published after I
was fifty years of age."
A3 Richard Malcolm Johnston said
tills I looked into his bright blue eyes
and eouht not realise that he was
more than seventy years of age. It is
true that his kair and mustache , are
frosted silver, but his cheeks are rosy
with health and his voice has the sil
very ring of youth. He is a tail,
straight, fine-looking man, and he is
full of enthusiasm and life. He is mod
est in the extreme concerning himself
and his work, and he told kio that it
was a continual surprise to him that
his stories were accepted by the maga
zines. '"I suppose," said he, '"it is be
cause they are to a larrjo extent of his
torical value. They picture a people
and a time which is fast passing away.
They are true to life, and they are
merely my remembrances of the peo
ple of my boyhood. The dialect which
I use is the language of the people
among whom I was raised, and my
characters are real characters, with
their names changed."

t rock. The boat was capsized and all
except one man went down. The oc-.
cupants were: G. W. Driggers and his
sou Milt Driggers, Will Adams, Will
Lavendar and Will Kidenhauer. The
older Driggers was rescued by men on
shre who threw him a pole and then
pulled him in.
All were fishermen. The drowned
men were unmarried with the excep
tion of Ridenhauer. Other fishermen
began dragging the river for the bodies
of the men, but up to this time only
one body, that of Adams, has been re
covered. The others may be found
during the day.
The river is very treacherous where
the men were drowned, and many lives
have been lost there. A number of
years ago a young lady committed sui

the most distressing accidents that
ever happened in this state occurred
Sunday morning about 6 o'clock, at the

screams were heard, and on entering
the family room, Mrs. Sleadd was dis
Jfov.."""! with her clothing in flames.
Her sou and his wife quickly wrapped
her in blankets and did everything in
their power to relieve her suffering,
but having inhaled the flames she only
lived about thirty minutes. Her body
Was burned almost to a crisp.
Mrs. Sleadd was about 65 years
of age and ' leaves ten children,
five sons and five daughters, all grown.
She will be buried in Grove Hill Ceme
tery today, after funeral service at the
Baptist church in Clay Village, at 10:30

children of Mr. and Mrs. Clark, whore
tide near Glade Springs, Va., were
burned to death yesterday. The father
and mother were at the barn, when
they heard the screaming, and when
tiiey reached the house, they discov
ered the youngest child lying on the
floor, its clothing bnvned off and its
body cooked to a crisp. Standing over
the corpse was the older child with the
cruel flames playing over the body. In
