was 48 years old, was born in
Kemper county, Mississippi, and
when only 2 years of age moved
here with his father's family,
where he has since resided.
Some years ago he married Miss

dren, still survives.him. He has
also two sisters, one brother and
several nephews, all having res-
idence here.
The little child of Dr. and Mrs.

pose of getting the benefit of its
famed mineral waters, returned
Sunday last, greatly improved in
health and vigor.

(From Our Regular Correspondent)
Paris, France, June 18—
There are on the left bank of the
Seine and facing directly the
river, a row of detached buildings
each one of which is a national
building and occupied as a sort
of national headquarters by the
nation that built it. Over each
waves the nation's flag and in
each walks two or three soldiers
in the uniform of their country.
These buildings of foreign powers
or as the French say it "Pavilions
des Puissances Gtrangeres" are
situated in the following order:
Italy, Turkey, United States,
Austria, Bosnia, Hungary, Great
Britain, Belgium, Norway, Ger
many, Spain, Munaoo, Sweden,
Greece, Servia, and Mexico.
Behind these, as it were on a
back alley, are Denmark, Por
tugal, Peru, Persia, Luxem
bourg, Finland (a section of
Russia) Bulgaria and Roumania.
I have wondered why the U. S.
Pavilion was built. It appears
to be an empty piece of extrava
gance having in it and without it
nothing that is characteristic or
home-like. It contains in one
corner a post office, but this is
little used, and affords no facili
ties that are not found in the
French P. 0. The building is
quite eclipsed in size and in taste
of furnishings by some of its
petty neighbors, as for example
by that little gambling hell of the
Mediterranean, the Principality
of Monaco. Most of the build-
ings are crowded with the works
of art and other exhibits peculiar
to their country, and the space
rented to exhibitors will doubtless
much more than pay for the
building.
The United States building has
but one central group on a
pedestal about eight feet high.
It is three life-sized Indian ponies
of plaster in a terrible tangle of
legs, heads, necks, and tails. I
asked an attendant what it
meant. He said it represented
horses stampeded and on the
brink of a precipice, those be-
hind pushing those in front and
those in front trying to pull
themselves back. The explana-
tion was quite necessary to the
motive of the artist and the three
ponies. But why should this
Omaha sculptor with models of
good Nebraska plow horses ever
before his ejes strive to express
himself in something horrible
and theatric impressing the
superficial foreign observer, re-
presented by nine in ten of aH
who will see it, that the typical
American horse is a scraggy
Indian pony with a chronic habit
of stampeding over precipices.
The exhibits that interested me
most in all these buildings were
those of Norway and of Spain.
In the former, the plaoe'of honor
s given to a bust of the explorer
Nansen; a very large model of
his ship, "Fram," two of the
dogs that aooompanied the expe-
dition ; the reindeer akin bag in
which he slept when so near the
north pole; his dog sled, a small
boat and some of the prepared
food left over from the trip and
still in good state of preservation.
In this pavilion we see also
life-sized figures in wax repre-
senting the people of the coun-
try in various costumes and in
various industries, staffed seals,
walruses, and the preserved head
of a whale down whose capacious
throat Jonah with proper pre sen
tation might have traveled.
Spain has remarkably fine
Gobelins worked with historic
scenes entirely covering the sides
of the ample rooms of her
pavilion; but the most intereet
ing relic is the ooat, or tunio o
Boabdil the last King of the
Moors, with two of his swords
and two dirks. These are shown
in a glass case in the center of
an otherwise empty room, and
proclaim with a haughtiness that
is pathetic in view of recent his-
tory the vanished greatness of a
country that once and forever
saved Europe and Christendom,
from Mohammedanism. Proud
Spain!- Poor Spain I The tunic
which is of crimson figured velvet
is time-worn, after four hundred
years appears to hold together as
well as Washington's clothes in
our National Museum. The
swords are finely wrought,
straight-bladed weapons with
but little guard to their hilts.
The scabbards are of metal,
heavy, richly ornamented, and
of fine workmanship.
It seems to be impossible with
the United States government to
make an appropriation without
promoting a junket. Let it be
the funeral of a member of Con
gress or an International Exhibi
tion,—the motto is, have a good
time, put money in your pocket.
Uncle Sam is rich. There is
scandal in the air here, and all
has not been told, for those who
know most are connected with
the Exposition in a subordinate
capacity and are afraid to speak
out. I do not think any misap
propriation of funds will be
traoed directly to Commissioner-
General Peck, but there has been
mismanagement, glaring neglect
of duty, indifference to interests
of country and to United States
exhibitors, favoritism, and
probable sale of space and privi
leges, the proceeds of which have
not gone into the United States
Treasury. The Commissioner
who has his family with him, is
much absorbed in social func
tions. The United States guards,
whose duty it is to guard the
U. S. exhibits are detailed for
parade at these functions, where
so detailed on a fete day when
nearly half a million of people
were in the exhibition enclosure,
thus imperiling the safety of
many valuable and exposed ex*
hibits. There are complaints
heard everywhere and the feeling
is decidedly mutinous. The
Commissioner-General has, be
sides appointing members of his
family, been compelled to ap-
point irony relatives of people of
influence in Washington. Some
of these have big salaries and do
nothing. It is the same old
story—civil service ignored—
favoritism-nepotism. There will
be an investigation and then we
will go and do it again—in Cuba,
in the Philippines,—at home,
wherever there is an appropria-
tion.

Hon. Thomas Ball writes from
iuntsville to the Houston Post
on a subject that is of much lo-
cal interest:
I notice a movement among the
riends of the Brazos river to have
meetings called for the purpose
of memorializing the secreta-
ry of war to have the Brazos riv-
er survey include Sin estimate for
removing timber and straighten-
ing the river to prevent over-
lows. One paper has also sug-
gested that "the boys in Wash-
ington" were not alive to the sit-
uation, else they would have had
suoh provision included in the
survey.
By conference with Captain
Riche, the government engineer
in charge of the improvement,
they will learn that no survey has
ever been anywhere made by the
government to prevent overflow.
Even the levee system on the
Mississippi river was adopted on
the theory of improving the nav-
igation of that river. Congress
does not cut timber or straighten
streams to prevent damage to
private property, and the friends
of the Brazos river may embar-
rass this project by urging action
in this matter as being the ob-
jective point aimed at. We must
proceed upon the theory that the
Brazos is a navigable stream,
worthy of improvement by the
national government.
The survey called for in the
bill which passed congress at the
last session was framed with the
view of securing a favorable re-
port upon these propositions.
The language of the provision is
broad enough to warrant the en-
gineer in charge to consider the
question of removing timber and
straightening bends as an aid to
navigation.
The first essential thing to be
aimed at is to have a survey
made and a favorable report
thereon secured. It will not do
to embarrass this end by compli-
cating the main question. It is
not my wish to prevent the
'riends of the Brazos river from
taking any steps they think
)roper to advance the measure
n which we are all interested.
These suggestions are made be-
cause I believe it to be my duty
to offer an opinion for their con-
sideration, to be given such
weight as they see proper while
making plans to help on the con-
»mplated movement.
Respectfully,
Thos. H. Bail,
Mrs. Aaron Smyth and children
are guests of Mr. and Mrs.'J. D.
Campbell.
