A Tallyho Ride Enjoyed—Some Jelsyi

A Visit to Florida‘s
Capital 'l‘odny.
THOMASVILLE, Ga, March 24.——
-President McKinley spent pretty much
the whole of yesterday in the open air.
us did Vice President Hobart. This out- .
111001 life in a mild and dry climate is
doing much to tone up the system of
each, and each showed an imp1ovingf
state Of health. The presidents pro~
gramme after breakfast was a seat in a
rocking chair on the porch until time
to dispatch a little business with As-
sistant Secretary Cortelyou. This was
followed by a drive.
This took the form of a tallyho party,
the whip being Charles Chapin. Senator
Hanna's nephew. President l‘wicKinlcy,
wearing a black derby instead of the
accustomed high hat, occupied the box
with him.
)the1s of the party we1e the vice
3 .esident Mrs Hobart young Ga11ett
liobart, Senator Hanna and Miss Han-
1.1. After a light lunch at the house a
«irive to the Country club followed.
Here the club, which is the recognized
social institution of Thomasville. enter-
tained the party. Last night the presi-
ed other necessary business. The Jekyl
island trip having caused 1cports of a
conference there and that Speaker
Reed would be nominated for vice’pres—
ident on the ticket with Mr. McKinley
at the next Republican convention, it
ties were tabooed at Jekyl island.
Speaker Reed declined a vice presiden-
tial nomination at the last convention
and no thought of a change Of view on
his part ever has been suggested. and
the administration leaders have him not
in mind in this connection.
Moreover, the statement can be made
most cordial rela-
tions, politica and personal, exist be-
tween Messrs. McKinley. Hobart and
Hanna and that for some time they
have had a definiie understanding that
if McKinley is renominated his run~
ning mate will be Garrett A. Hobart.
Today the party leaves here for Talla-
hassee, where they hope to escape all
elaborate functions and have so notified
Governor Bloxham. Monday probably
will find the president started on his
president and Senator Hanna remain—
ing here.

Suffering In Russia. -
ST. PETERSBURG, March 24. -—The
newspapers of the city publish pitiable
accounts of the condition of the so call—
ed {amine district of Russia, especially
Samara, in the eastern part of Euro-
pean Russia. The efforts of the Red
Cross society have staved Off the her-
rors of actual starvation, but the socie-
ty’s funds are almost exhausted, and
the dire distress, compelling the con—
sumption of all kinds of garbage, has
produced an epidemic of terrible mor—
tality, with typhus, scurvy and other
pestilential diseases. The peasants are
compelled to sell everything and are
living in cold, damp and filthy cabins.
VVeakened by' hunger, they fall ready
victims to typhus and acute scurvy.
Unless the government gives prompt
aid the Volga provinces appear doom-
ed tO a repetition of the horrors of 1891
and 1892.

DEFEAT FOR BIENNIAL SESSIONS
l‘iercc Wordy Warfare In the New
York Scnute Over the Measure.
ALBANY, March 24.—For seven hours
there was a. real old fashioned battle
royal in the senate yesterday over the
biennial sessions resolution, which re-
i:ulted in what will ultimately prove the
defeat of the measure 011 Tuesday of
next week.
On one side were ranged three Re-
publican senators, Messrs. Malby,
Brackett and Willis, who had refused to
abide by caucus action in making the
bill a party measure, and 22 Democrats.
: On the other was one Democratic sena-
tor, McCarren, and 24 Republican sen-
ators. '
Senators Malby, Grady and Brackett
led the victorious opposition, and Sen-
ators Stranahan, Ellsworth and Brown
used every argument and parliamenta-
ry tactic to save the resolution.
At times the debate was devoted to
indulgences in bitter personalities by
innuendo. But after the heat of strife
had passed and the weariness of -the
deadlock was becoming overbearing Oil
was poured on the tuibulent spirits and
an amicable fig.181.1€nt was reached
whereby the final c1 11.:lic1'ation 0f 'the
measure was postponed until Tuesday
morning next.
A MILLIONAIRE'S WILL.
Charities “’ill Receive 551.100.000 of
the Late Ell“'lll'll Austin’s \Veulth.
BOSTON, March 24.—-The will of the
late Edward Austin, the Beacon street
millionaire who bequeaths $1,100,000 to
public charities, was admitted to pro-
bate by Judge McKim, in the Suffolk
probate court, yesterday. All parties
legally concerned in his estate under his
will and otherwise assented to the pro—
bate. a compromise having been agreed
upon with reference to objections made
by some of the heirs at law.
Among the public bequests are $500,-
000 to Harvard college, the interest to
be applied to “needy meritorious stu—
dents and teachers to assist them in
payment of their studies;" to Massa-
chusetts Institute of Technology, 8400.-
000; to Radcliffe college, 30,000; to Roan-
oke college, $30,000; to Tuskagee Nor-
mal and Industrial school, $30,000. These
bequests are made under the same
terms as that to Harvard. He also
gives $10,000 to the Bacteriology labora-
tory of Harvard Medical school and
$100,000 to the New England Trust com-
pany, the income to be paid to “needy
aged men and women who had been in
better circumstances in early life, but
who have become in want when in old
age."
Maso to Succeed Gomez.
HAVANA, March 24.—The executive
committee of the Cuban military as-
sembly has appointed General Bartole-
me Maso, former president of the Cu—
ban revolutionary government, com-
mander in chief of the Cuban forces in
the orient, or eastern, provinces. The
assembly was in session yesterday. The
motion proposed by Senor Gualberto
Gomez for the reorganization of the
Cuban army was passed. but under ex-
isting conditions the action of the as-
sembly in this respect is unimportant.
A dispatch was read from the Veterans’
association of Santiago asking the as-
sembly to restore General Maximo Go-
mez to the post of commander in chief.
From General Maso a telegram was
received recognizing on his part the
.superior authority of the assembly, ac-
knowledging it as a duty to sustain the
assembly and lamenting the controver-
sy with General Gomez.
Trial of Mrs. Guiltord.
BRIDGEPORT, Conn, March 24.—At
the close of the third day of the trial of
Nancy A. Guilfgrd, the midwife charged
with murder in the second degree in
causing the death of Emma Gill, the
state is still engaged in endeavoring to
prove the fact that the particular crime
alleged has been committed. To the
spectators the trial seems to drag slow—
ly, but it is evident that both the state
and defense are considering each step
with great care and going into every
point in minute detail. Mrs. Guilford is
apparently regaining her health rapidly
and throughout the day seemed to have
her nerves under good control.
Concert Hall Owner's to Start Clubs.
ROCHESTER, March 24.—The sup-
pression of the concert halls in this city

cert halls. It is the intention of'the con-
cert hall managers to form clubs, take
out club charters and run the saloons
as clubs and not as saloons. One pro-
prietor has already secured such license
.1nd will shortly be running in full blast.
Many others have made application.
and it is only a question of a 'few weeks
before things will be as lively as ever.

Three Children Afflicted 20 Months.
CURED BY CUTIOURA'.
My second child got eczema. when seven
months old. Three months later m_V first child
got it, and following him, the last 011e, two
years old. For twenty months they sullered
fearful agony. Their whole bodies, especially
their faces, were so sore and raw that they
were blind half the time. No words can
describe the suffering of my second child,
whose whole body was one bloody mass. He
was constantly crying, could get. no sleep, and
he actually did not look human. I tried doctor
after doctor without the slightest relief. The
first. application of CUTICURA brought relief
in each case, and after fourteen. days' treat-
ment. with Cancun SOAP and Cancun
(ointment), the worst case was cured.
