K JOHN SHARP AS HOUSE KID.
Wt
^ Famous Mississippian is Amusingly,
1 Reminiscent.
"When 1 was a house kid?" said
;V, John Sharp Williams.
L1'. "When you were what?" interrupted
Colonel Charley Edwards.
'f-f "A house kid," said John Sharp.
"An infant in the house of represen .
tatives; a mere and not too precociOus
orphan."
H' "Yes?" said Robert L. Henry, with
? ' a rising inflection, at the same time
treading on Edwards' toes.
"When 1 was a house kid," resum-j
?* oiin.n vAAid.omo 44T arrived

I? in the capital of our common coun-j
try expecting that President Cleveland
would have the Marine band
*' down at the station to meet me. He
didn't do it, and 1 felt aggrieved. I
? hardly knew why. Shortly afterward
? I was wandering around Washington
~ and stubbed my toe on something.
When I looked down at it, I saw that
was the capitol."
-,1 Mr. Williams relighted his cigar
and took a deliberate puff. Nobody
vf interrupted him. Everybody held
v his breath.
-i. "I had," resumed Mr. Williams
V+ after drawing steadily for some time
. on his cigar, "a letter of introduction
h to old Dave Culberson. The man
who wrote it for me intended that
Dave should be my guide, philos>
opher and friend; should steer me
through the byways of legislation,
and, in a word, initiate me. I took
this letter to old Dave and told him
3-V the joy that was to be his. He did
5 \ not seem enraptured. This, how
J; J nnnny + r\ mo Until latOT*
ever, uiu uvi, wv/ui tu luv uuv., ???"When
I was obtaining guidance,
philosophy and friendship from old
Dave I was busy discovering something
which should emblazon my
r name high on the roll of fame. At
last I found it. It was a provision in
f some bill or other appropriating
, $850 for some purpose?I have forgotten
what.
"I saw at a glance that unless this
$850 item was promptly defeated the
republic was lost and would probably
follow Rome and maybe Greece a
few furlongs down the slippery declivity
that leads to the morass of
swamped democracies. The. bill was*
before the house, and some rubicund
person, whose name I forgot, was
expatiating on its merits. I leaned
forward to old Dave.
" 'Judge,' said I, in a tense whisper,
'isn't that an iniquitious measure?'
" 'I reckon it is, John,' he said, in

" 'Well, shouldn't it be defeated
judge?'
" 'Well, John, I reckon it mus 'a'
been reported from some committee.'
" 'Couldn't it have been defeated
in that committee, judge?'
" 'Well, John, it would have been
very difficult.'
" 'Who was on that committee,
judge?'
" 'Well, John, if I remember rightly,
I was on that committee.'

" 'Couldn't you have defeated it1
in the committee, judge?'
"Well, John, it would ha?e been
very difficult.'
" 'How can it be defeated now,
judge?'
" 'Well, John, you might defeat it
by point of order.'
"The budding young statesman of
Yazoo City leaped into the aisle, with
index finger upraised, and a full consciousness
that the destiny of the
republic rested on his shoulders.
" 'A point of order, Mr. Chairman!'
I yelled.
"The business of the house came
to an abrupt stop. The members
turned around and stared at me with
wonder. The chairman banged down
his gavel.
" 'What is your point of order?'
he demanded.
" 'Then it flashed over me that I
didn't know what my point of order
was. I turned around to ask my
guide, phillosopher and friend. He
wasn't in his seat. I looked down
the aisle and caught a glimpse of his
shaking shoulders disappearing in
the cloak room.
"I will draw a veil over the rest
of that painful scene. However, I
got square with old Dave. Some time
afterward an artist named Homer
Davenport blew into Washington,
penning statesmen into corners and
drawing libels of them. He drew old
Walthall, the stateliest statesman
that ever came out of the South,
fondling a pig. Walthall, whose dignity
never had been impugned before,
looked for Davenport for four
days with a gun, and Davenport had
his meals sent up to him on a dumbwaiter.
"He was trying to get old Dave,
but old Dave had seen the Walthall
picture and was wary. Finally he
came around to me. I foregathered
with him and agreed to aid him in
his fell designs. He then went to old
Dave.
" 'Judge,' said this nefarious Davenport,
'I design to make a scurrilous
picture of John Sharp Williams,
but he won't stand hitched. Can
you engage him in conversation in
the Metropolitan lobby while I stand
by and sketch him?'
"Old Dave chortled till apoplexy

morning he rounded me up in the
lobby and engaged me in a long and
purposeless conversation, during
which Davenport took up a position
slightly to leeward and made
sketches. He didn't worry me any.
I knew he was sketching, not me, but
old Dave.
"Two days later old Dave fell upon
me in the lobby fairly apopletic with
rage. 'Look here, John,' he sputtered.
'See what this damned infamous
Yankee artist has done to me. He
has sketched me drawing a pug dog
by a string?me, Dave Culberson?a
pug dog, by Gawd, sah! What will
they think of that down in Texas?
By heaven, John, I'll kill the scoundrel!
Me, with a pug dog! Why,
it'll ruin my career, sah! And where,
John, where did he ever get a sketch
of me?"

" 'Why, judge,' don't you remember
the time we were lined up here

" 'But he was sketchin' you, John!'
broke in old Dave.
"I think not, judge,' I said, 'I asked
him to sketch you, and he's a
man of honor.'

Robbed in Pullman Coach.
Chicago, March 13.?Mrs. Delie M.
Crane, a Chicago artist, who has just
arrived from Jacksonville, Fla., is
reported to have been the victim of
a daring hold-up near that place.
While comfortably seated in a Pullman
car which had slowed at a railroad
crossing, she is said to have
been robbed of $650 in money and
$2,300 worth of jewels by a negro
who, running alongside and thrusting
hie head and shoulders through
the window, grabbed her valuables.
She instinctively clutched at her bag,
according to the story, just as the
hands of the intruder closed upon it.
A struggle ensued and Mrs. Crane
called for assistance. Determined
not to surrender, Mrs. Crane vainly
tried to wrench her property from
the negro's hand, but at that instant
he gave a tug backwards and pulling
her arms out throu gh the window, he
gave a sudden twist, broke her grip
and dropped off the train with his
loot.
Every cent that Mrs. Crane had in
her possession was sioien, mciuaing
her railroad ticket and Pullman reservation.
The railway officials passed
her through to her destination and
passengers, among them Chas. G.
Gates, saw that her wants were supplied.

and nothing could save him. "But,"
writes his mother, "seven bottles of

him." For eruptions, eczema, salt

CHARLESTON TO BE TERMINUS.
Head Officials Plan Line from Spartanbnrg
Through Colombia.
I
Columbia, March 13.?Charleston
will be the terminus of the Carolina,
Clinchfleld and Ohio railroad, which
is now constructing its lines in the
Piedmont section of this State.
It has just come straight from
head officials of this important new
system that the line will certainly
pass through Columbia to Charleston,
though the exact routes have
yet to be determined. Surveyors are
instructed to include Columbia in all
proposed routes and to keep Charleston
in view.
This would seem to mean that Savannah
and Wilmington have lost
their fights for this system. A few
days ago it was announced from Savannah
that head officials were seeking
full information with a view to
making that port the terminus and
the commercial bodies of that city
were hopeful.

Women Must Remove Hats.
Boston, Mass., March 13.?All
women who decline to remove their
hats are officially barred from the
First Baptist church of Somerville,
Mass., according to an announcement.
The church, after considering the/
question for some time, decided
formally to promulgate the new
rule. As one trustee explained it,
| "the fancy millinery of the present
time attracts so much attention that
women spend more time examining
hats than they do in listening to the
sermon."
I Many pastors throughout the
United States have spoken against
the big hat nuisance, and urged women
not to wear them to church,
but the Somerville case is the first on
record so far as is known where the
trustees took up the question in
their official capacity.
Near Death in Big Pond.
It was a thrilling experience to
Mrs. Ida SoDer to face death. "For
years a severe lung trouble gave me
intense suffering," she writes, "and
several times nearly caused my
death. All remedies failed and doctors
said I was incurable. Then Dr.
King's New Discovery brought quick
relief and a cure so permanent that
I have not been troubled in twelve
years." Mrs. Soper lives in Big
Pond, Pa. It works wonders in
coughs and colds, sore lungs, hemorrhages,
lagrippe, asthma, croup,
whooping cough and all bronchial affections.

PINED FOR PALMETTO STATE.
Negro Wanted to be Tried lor Murder
in South Carolina.
Greenville, March 14.?"Mister,
please don' try me here for breaking
into the store. Send me back to
Greenville, S. C., and let 'em try me
there, 'cause they want me for killing
a man. I'd rather be tried for
killing a man there than stay here
and be tried for robbery."
This was the startling plea made "
by Sam Gray, a negro arrested in
Easta Bouche, Miss., last week to an
officer who had him in charge.
"Whom did yoi,i kill in South Carolina
and when did you kill him?" J
queried the Mississippi official, visions
of a reward for the apprehension
of a murderer perhaps floating
before his vision.
"Oh, I don't know the nigger's
name, but I killed him all right. You
just write to the people down home
and they'll tell you all about it," answered
Gray, the robber-murderer.
Sheriff Poole received the letter
last week. It gave in substance the
conversation between the officer and
" ri -1 1J *!??? +
the arrested imei. it aisu oaiu mai
Gray, along with three other men,
broke into a store, robbing it of almost
everything in sight, and that
three of the thieves were in custody
and would be tried at an early date.
The letter stated that if Greenville
authorities wanted the man for murder
he could be seen in the jail at
Easta Bouche.
There was an immediate hustling
in the office of the sheriff and deputies
went to work on the case. They
found that five years ago Sam Gray
had lived in Greenville and that he
is supposed to have killed another
negro by the name of "Slick" Robertson
near the county' jail here.
They also found that two negroes
were killed while the work on the
new reservoir was under way, and
as Gray worked there for a time,
he may have been the man to end
the earthly existence of one of these.
But as all the witnesses in either
of the cases are not to be found,
Gray will have to be tried in Mississippi
for just plain robbery.
