HEMPHILL FOR THE SENATE B^^Mdorsed by Southern Members of llpf the Associated Press?All Promise Their Support. gPvashington Cor. The State. ||j Washington, Sept. 24.?8I10 SouthfflB&rn division of the Associated Presj, BMKin convention assembled, lias unani|||f|$^ously endorsed Maj. Jas. Calvin ro||Plllemphill for the United Slates senate. This was at New York yesHj^erday, but echoes of it are ringing "10 ca,s Washington. It hapffi^flfened in this way: The Associated Sglc^^Press is divided into the Kaslern, the ^^^^!VVestern and the Southern divisions. The Southern division was presided ra\i'|movcr at the New York meeting by ^E/^E'Col. Stahlman of the Nashville Ban|||;J|p "I take great pleasure in announcpm' ing to the Southern members of the Associated Press," began Ool. StaiilWjS> man soon or the meeting opened, Wg "that we have in our midst a man Bp who is worthy to occupy the seat of Up Calhoun, of McDufllc and Preston. Hfr What- is the will of the assembly?" "I move, sir," spoke up the one $Vv who, out of a dozen clamoring for recognition, gained the floor, "that lira ^ s0inse ^lG Southern divisBp'.; iou of the Associated Press that Lieut. |||' Col. James Calvin Hemphill, editor ffi* of the Charleston News and Courier, should occupy the evalted seat aforesaid and that it bo the great pleasure of all newspapers belonging to the iMfe Associated Press to promote the Hh Hemphill boom." "All in favor, say aye," said the chairman. With oue accord, with one voice and aringing cheer from every throat Bp-, went up "aye." "So ordered," declared the chair r" man above the din. fa. The major is in Washington today to get the hang of things. He bought his ticket to Washington this time?one fare for the round trip. This, morning he went over to have it extended. No trouble at all. The clerk was very obliging. All delegates ' to the negro Baptist convention, he said, are entitled to have their tickets extended. And the joke is* on the editor of The News and Courier. He , did not know that the reason he was able to buy a reduced ticket to Washington was because of this convcn-j tion. Zach McGhee. A Surprised Gamekeeper. Bishop Talbot, long and lovingly known as the "Cowboy Bishop," but) now bishop of Central Pennsylvania won the devotion of the rough men of the West because, although holdin": strictly to churchly standards whenever principle was concerned, he was never in the silghtest degree "tenderfoot," or "mollyoddle." He could shoot straight, and ride, and stand hunger and fatigue?and was, in fact, a man among men. I His book of reminiscences, "My People of the Plains," has boon re| ceived with cordial enthusiasm in England, and he himself is warmly welcomed there whenever ho can find time l<> cross the ocean, A year or so ago ho was one of a f party, sa\s Harper's, among whom were the Duke of Newcastle and the Bishop of London, at a country seat in the north of England. lie knew that the estate, which was one of groat size, was noted for its game preserves, and so he signified a desire to go out and shoot, whereupon his host promptly assigned to him the head gamekeeper, and the two sallied forth. The head gamekeeper could not quite believe that a bishop could shoot ?he did not know that Bishop Talbot is " a mighty hunter before the Lord"?and so it was with much mis1 giving that he first led the way to where there would be rabbits. He liked the bishop, as everybody does, and keenly solicitious over what ho fell sure would be failure. "Does your lordship" (he thought every bishop a lord bishop in the absence of proof lo Iho contrary), "does your lordship think the rabbits? ahem!?will stand slill enough while your lordship shoots?" lie asked with deepest repectfulness, and meaning i to present the difficulties of the case; then, with deferential insinuation: "If T can be of any help to your lordship " ( ,"T thank you, John; but T used to handle a gun once in a while, and I 1 guess T'U make a try at it." , "Well," with a half-sigh of mingled doubt and resignation, "of (course, if your lordship can really hit 'em once in a while a-rupnin,' of course there's a chance!" And the look of deepening auinxemont on the face of the gamekeeper' was a study as the bishop went on j bowling the rabbits over until he had j I a total of '12 by luncheon timo! [ NOTIFIED WRONG PRINCE. News of Greek Royal Engagement Goes Astray in Denmark. New York Sun. There was a curious mixup in a royal telegram announcing the recent engagement of Prince George of Greece to the Princess Marie Bonaparte. The Grown Prince Christian of Denmark is staying at Aarhus. Prince George of Greece scut him a telegram about the engagement. The telegram was addressed to "Prince Iioyal Aarhus." There was no punctuation in the address, and the dispatch was delivered to a merchant of the name of Prins, who was staying at the Royal Hotel. Aarhus, and who 011 various occasions had received orders for bicycles from Prince George. Mr. Prins was naturally astonished at the confidential telegram from Prince George, but wired him a courteous message of congratulation. It was not until this telegram was received by the Greek Prince that the error was discovered, and the telegram was handed over to (lie Crown from the south, "I took them to evHorse'Bit Diamond From Girl's Ring. New York World. One of William Lock wood's hors- ] es. 011 his farm near Bloomingburg, is a groat pel of the family. As Aliss Wilholmina Lockwood was patting the horse's nose recently, it licked and then playfully bit at her hand, j As luck would have it the horse's teeth cut clean from its setting the, diamond in Miss Wilholmina's engagement ring. Naturally, the young I woman was deeply distressed. Her I father and the farmhands searched the stall, and most carefully, the horse's mouth, but the diamond was not found. A dreadful alternative presented itself; the diamond cost $250, and Miss Wilholmina's finance cannot afford to buy many such. Lockwood had been offered $225 for the horse, and as has been told the family is very fond of it. It was decided to sacrifice the horse, when the: diamond was seen gleaming in the! iron manger. What Were They Talking About? The other day a deaf old woman was talking to a deaf old man in a country town near Chicago. Each was leaning on a cane and shouting to the other, while a hand was cupper at an ear of each. The old woman wa?> saying: "That's just what Mirandy was teliin' me. She says she's got so she ea>ts with hern jest as good as if they were nachral ones, but it took her a turrible wile t' git ust to 'em. It was offle awkerd at first, she says. Some nights she jest had t' law an bathe 'or gums in alum water th' whole night." "Hey?" "Some night, I say. she hod I'1 wash 'or month with alum water all night long almost." "Well, well!" "I've most made up my mind I' have these 'ns uv mine took out. Mirandy says when she had hern tok out she lied seventeen uv' 0111 pulled al a sotti 11' an never took a thing." .1 do 'no if T could stan' that or not. Hut I guess I'll hov 'em took out. Tf they was jest two or three a-achin' ye could hov em' filled, but when thoy's eight or nine jest a-jumpinp' evry night I guess it must be neuralogy, don't ye think so?" The listener had got more than a block away by this time, so she could not hear quite as distinctly as before. But, though he hadn't heard anything mentioned, I10 felt fairly sure of the subject of the subject of the conversation. Catches Train From a Tree.
