"Washington, March 14.-Senator Lati ner caliea at tho White House to-day to see the President in the interest of Kitcbell Ware, a youth from Greenville, S. C., who some time ago enlisted in the navy, and who now seeks to bo dis charged. Mrs. Ware is here to havo her boy restored to her on the ground that she needs him at home. Mrs. Ware made a very strong appeal to Souator Latimer, ana tho Senntor, who ia fa miliar with the policy of the navy de partment, whloh is opposed to disonarg lng either enlisted mon or commissioned offloers from the navy at this timo, was induced to carry tho sub 'eot to the Presi dent beean s o of the pat h at ie appeal of Mrs. Waro. Tho Preaidout said that lu view of the faot that the navy is at pres ent short-handed both as to commis atoned offloers and enlisted mon tho policy of the navy department ia against granting such a request as Mr. Latimer presented. Tho President said he ap preciated the mother's love for hor boy and her desire to havo him at homo to aid her in taking care of the family, but under the circumstances he could not in terfere With the policy Of Secretary Moody. The President added that he has bad hundreds of similar appeals, all of whioh he baa roforred to the navy de Sart mont without recommendation, corot ary Moody is now absent from tho city on leave of absence; boneo m> fur ther steps eau bo taken in behalf of young Ware until the Sccrotary ret ums. Senator Latimor, who was instru mental in obtaining a provision in tho agricultural bill appropriating $45,000 for the soil survey in conueotion with ex periments in tobacco growiug in South Carolina, Georgia and other sections of the country, has obtainod tho establish ment of au experimental station at Dar lington. Senator Latimer has already sent high grade tobacco seed to many of the farmers in that section of tho coun try who are interested in tho growth of tobacco, and thoir product will bo caro fully considered at tho experimental station. He baa endoavorod to send seod to all of tho farmers who havo indicntod to him that they proposo to experiment in growiug tobacco from Cuban seed. Senator Latimer has obtainod tho pro motion of Chas. Permaii, of Anderson, a clerk in the cens?a oflioo, from tho $1,000 grade to a first-class clerkship, which pays $1,200 a year. Senator Lat i mer has also had the salary of tho clork to the. postmaster at Abbeville advanced from $80 to $200 a year. Goorgo Bakor, of Abbeville, has been appointed private seerel ai y to Senator I ,at i mer. Mr. Baker occupied a similar position with Mr. Latimer whilo the latter waa a member of the House of Representativos, and his effloienoy and reliability fully justine* the Senator in retaining his services. Ba ker is a bl ot her of .1 ames Baker, tho as sistant librarian of tho Senate, who is ouch a valuable aid to Senat ors seeking information from tho records and liles of the Senate. "Jim" Baker is regarded by Republican and Democratic Senat ors aa a walking encyclopedia on all subjects pertaining to the past history of tho Senate, and he holds his present position with tho concurrence of both sides of the chamber, and is as much a fixture as the veteran Arasi Smith, auporintoudont of the document room, or any of the other votoran officials of tho Senate on the permanent roll. At the instance of Senator Latimor Superintendent Machen, ot" tho rural free delivery postal system, has directed an agent to visit the 3d Congressional Diatriot, in whioh Mr. Latimor is directly interested, to examino every application for rural free delivery in that section and report without delay, Suporintondent Machen has promisod that tho roport of the speoial agent as soon as mado will bo promptly acted upon. Acting Socrotary Taylor, of tho Iroa sury Department lins authorized an im mediato investigation of tho claim of Messrs. Bird and Redding, of Charleston, growing out of tho claim for betterment of the plans of tho Charleston post offico, for which an appropriation of $22,700 has been recommended. Senator Tillmau has brought to tho attention of the Secretary of state tho long pending claim of Mrs. Francis I. Roberts, of Charleston, growing out of demands mado by Mrs. Roberts against the Venezuelan govornmont. Mrs. Roberta's attorneys aro Messrs. Mordecai ?fe Gadsden, of Charleston, and she has been seeking redress since 1871. Senator Tillman's magnificent work in carrying to a successful issue South ('aro lina's old war claim, has inspired many South Carolinians with tho idea that uothing is impossible for Senator Tillman to accomplish when ho pulls off his cuat and goos to work in the interest of his constituents. Tho Senator's selection ns a member of the Democratic steeling committee ls genorally approved by De mocratic Senators, and ho will prove a valuable aid to Chairman Gormnn in for mulating tho policy of tho united Demo cracy in the Senato. Senators Blackburn, Bailey and Tillman aro oxpectcd to bo conspicuous figures on tho Domocratio sido, as they roproaont throo distinct types in general dobato. Sonator Till man's recent temperato nnd unanswera ble discussion of the race problem in the South has olovatod him in the esti mation of Senators on both sides of tho obamber. Without sacrificing his por ronal convictions or opinions on any of the great national issues Sonator Tillmau is prepared to join in any general policy which ia calculated to promoto tho asoendonoy of tho national Democratic party and join in organizing a Demo cratic party on a practical business basia. He appreciates tho nocosBity of united party action and onforoemout of party discipline, without violating tho funda montai principios of Democracy. A Severe Cold for Three Months.

Excess Of Smoking Affected My Heart So I Had To Sit Up To Breathe, Dr. Miles* Heart Cure Cured Me. There is nothing that has a more deleter ious eifect upon thc cardiac or heart nerves than the excessive use of tohacco. Pain and tenderness around the heart, an oppressive feeling in the chest, choking sensation in thc throat, discomfort from sleeping on the lett side and smothering spells at night when the sufferer has to sit up in bed to breathe are thc most common symptoms of a weak heart. Smokers who teel these symptoms and who do not understand their meaning should be warned in time, hy thc following experience: "I was greatly troubled with an affection of the heart, due I think to excessive smoking. On writing to you for advice I was directed to begin a course of treatment which in cluded Dr. Miles* Heart Cure, Dr. Miles' Nervine and Nerve and Liver Pills, together with bathing, etc. I faithfully followed the directions given and am pleased to say that my cure is complete and permanent. Be fore beginning the use of your remedies I was sb nervous I could not keep my hands still and suffered greatly from severe pains around the heart. Many times at night I would be forced to assume a sitting posture to get my breath, and for the time being it would seem as though my heart had stopped beating. From the splendid results achieved in my case I cn cheerfully recommend Dr. Miles' Heart One, Restorative Nervine and other remedies to all sufferers from heart or nervous troubles."-Yours truly, ELIJAH HALL, Dothan, Ala.

Just as he sat down, however, a lump of plaster foll from tho coiling and hit him on the head, whereupon he rose up hastily and called out that he had made a mistake-he would give $50. This was too much for an enthusias tic member present, who, forgetful of everything, called out fervently : "Oh, Lord hit him again 1"-Baptist Union. OABTOniA.

V lucent Obiooo, who went to Colum bia to have a talk with the Governor about tho blind .tiger situation, has re turned to Charleston. Yesterday he readily consented to tell what happened when he braced the Govornor. Accord ing to Chioco the interview was in part as follows. "Now, Governor," said Chicoo, 'you're a gentleman; all the Hey wards are gentlemen. And I'm a gentleman, and all the Chiceos are gentlemen. Gov ernor, tell mo what arv you going to do about this matter?" "There is but one thing to be done, Chicoo," the Governor replied in positive tones, "you'll have to quit this business. It is my duty to enforce tbo dispensary law." /. "But. Governor, I've got a wife and many children. I have to support thom. I've got to make a living; that's the proposition I'm up against." "Well, you will have to close your establishment, Chioco, unless you oan make a living without croaking the law. Promise me you'll oease violating tho dispensary law." ..Governor, I've just told you I'm a gentleman, and if I was to make that Fu omiso I'd break it, and then I'd be a lar. And no gentleman is a liar." "Very well, Cblcco," replied the Gov ernor, decidedly, "you've got to respect the dispensary law or take tbe conse quences." "I can't give up my business, Gover nor; I've got to make a living and I don't know how to do anythirg else." "All right, Chicoo; j u and the con stables can Bottle that." .Suddenly Chicco's face lighted with hope. "Governor," he whispered. "Pve got a proposition to make to vou." "What is it.

Y., has boen convulsed during tho past two weeks with soaudal, murder and perhaps BU? olde. A few weeks ago Edward L. Bur dick, a wealthy sooioty man, instituted divorce proceedings agaiust his wife, naming Arthur B. Pennell, a prominent lawyer of family, as co-respondent. Mrs. Burdiok had loft tho home of her husband before the divorce proceedings were commenced. Uer mother remainod iu the house. One morning shout two weeks ago the doad body of Burdiok was found in his home oovered over with cushions. His mother-in-law made the discovery. A golf stick that had been taken from a rack in the room lay on the floor, and blood on it indicated that lt was tho weapon with willoh the murder had beon committed. Tho police gave it out that they had suspicions as to the identity of the murderer. It was sus pected that Burdiok had been rather tOO intimate with various women, and tin.KO women wore hold under suspicion. Ono of thom was arrested; but she had to be released forth with beoause thoro was no evldonoo against her and she is talking of bring ing suit for damages against the police for false arrest. Ou 'Tuesday night Arthur B. Penn.-ll and his wifo, who bad been sticking by bini, wont out to ride in an automobile, and accidentally or by design Pennell ratline machine over a precipice into a rock quarry. He was instantly killod, and Iris wife was fatally wounded. As yet tho Buffalo people havo not boon nblo to unravol the mys tery; but they think that the automobile tragedy has direct connection with tho Kurdick murder. Advice to the Aged.

A few days ago an old negro noar hore captured a large rattle snake alive. Ho brought it to town and sold it to Dr. R. D. MoLood, who wished to koop it to ozporimont with. Several days ago he nut some frogs in tho oage, but tho soak e 1 cf used to eal. thom or to molost them in any way. On Saturday he placed a live rabbit in the cage to soo what the snako would do with it, The snake would not notioo the rabbit till he was molested, and then he attempted to bite the rabbit, but only succeeded in getting nis mouth full of fur. Sunday night they both seemed to bo well, but not so Monday morning. The rabbit was well, but the snake was far from well. He was minus his head and nart of his nook, the ll os h belog gnawed entirely off of the bone for several Inches noxt to bis bead. His rattles were beaten to piece*, supposedly in his fight with the rabbit, and the floor of the oago was covered with blood, showing that the rabbit killed him, and not that he had eaten the snako after it had died a* natural death, as there would then have beon no blood. Tho rabbit seems to bo nono the worse for the fray. Tho above seems incredible, but scores of people that saw the snake and the rabbit are willing to vouch for the truth of it, among the number being the editor of the Tatt nail .loni nal, G. G. Folsom, and many others.-Lyons, Ga.', special of Wednesday.
