A Negro Genius
A Birmingham Alabama special

ville and Nashville employe who in
vented a car coupler which ho has
sold to the Janney people for 100
000 having received 5000 in part
payment has gone north with a steel
model of the invention for the uso ot
the Janney people in making tho
coupler and to receive the balance of
the money due him besides the con
tract for the royalties which ho is to
receive in addition to tho lump sum
Beard has prior to this timoinvcnt
ed other railroad devices which havo
been found of great service Ho is a
mechanical genius with no other dis
tinguishing trait to separate him in
tellectually or otherwise from the
mass of his race No one is surprised
at his success as his talent has been
admitted for years Exchange

FUNERAL STOPPED
Funeral Pickets liouted Driver of
a Hearse at Chicago
Chicago Dec 18 Six hundred liv
ery drivers backed by every teamster
in Chicago struck today
Nearly 400 livery stables are com
pletely tied up
The decision to strike was reached
last night after four weoks negotia
tions for better wages and working
conditions
Tho demand for an increase of 2 a
week on employers was refused they
claiming business did not warrant it in
view ofthe inroads mado by the au
automobiles
Tho drivers of hearses wont out
with tho carriage drivers and as a
result funeral processions must be
curtailed during the strike
Neither tho Teamsters Union nor
tho Liverymens Association appar
ently make any exception in tho
strike in order to facilitate burial ar
rangements although instructions
were given pickets not to interfere
with the movement of undertakers
wagons which will bo used in lieu of
hearses
The first trouble occurred when an
attempt was mado to conduct a fu
neral at West Eighteenth and Alphort
streets
An undertaker secured enough con
veyances to take tho bodyand mourn
ers to tho church but while the ser
vices were in progress the pickets
compelled tho drivers of the hearso
and carriages to desort under threats
of violence

OIL INDICATIONS
Fninkston Man Thinks lie lias
Oil on Ilw Place
Mr W J Tanner who lives near
Frankston this county has discovered
what ho considers sure signs of oil on
his land near that place Ho has a
well that is so pregnated witii oil as to
make it unlit for uso An oil expert
has made an examination and says
the surfaco indications are very strong
and gives it as his opinion that oil will
bo found in paying quantities there in
tho near future Mr Taunor is very
much enthused over the matter
Only One Thing
Will von forgive mo
Tho young and beautiful girl buried
her face in her hands
Alast she murmured when I
told you last night that I loved
you and when I allowed you to press
your attentions upon me I fear that
I was not conscientious enough The
truth is that tho beauty of tho night
and tho iniiuonce of tho full moon
all the surroundings had such a sen
timental inllucnco upon mo as to
make me loso myself Will you for
give mo
The man she addressed overcome
by thesad truth was for a time too
much moved to answor But stilling
his emotion at last by a supreme ef
fort ho murmured And there is no
hope Can nothing be dono7
Nothing she sobbed Nothing
except to wait for another night like
that Life
Song Recital
A very largo audionco was at tho
city halt last evening to hear tho song
recital by MrsHollingsworthWatkiDS
The recital represented three periods
in American music the singer wear
ing costumes befitting the times The
affair proved a very enjoyable social
gathering
Thirtytwo members of tho John H
Reagan Camp of Confederate Vete
rans attended tho recital in a body
and to those old comrades the airs
which are linked with scones of their
boyhood days were indeed pleasing
Tho costumes of the sixties took them
back to tho time of their first avowal
of love and caused them to livo over
again the days when their young
hearts gave passioiato throb9 for the
dainty lass wrapped in so many frills
ruffles and hoop In fact they were
mado boys again just for tho night
