Gentle and conservative people may think that the address of Sen ator Tillman on the rate bill in the Senate this week was characteris tically fierce and somewhat over drawn. But it has set a great many astute politicians thinking and talking and is likely to do much for the cause of effective legislation. I t certainly ranged the Senator on the side of the President and shows what he himself claims, that the rate bill is not and cannot be made a party measure, that it is a vital piece of legislation and that if this congress does not enact wise and conservative legislation the voters will see to it that .another set of men are putin who will perhaps be le-H wise and certainly far more radical in the measures they will take to control the roads. Senator Tillman spoke of his ut terances as his own personal views, lint it may he said that they are the views of a great many of both parties at the Capitol, some of them men who would do anything in their power to thwart rate legislation, but who when it conies to the pinch may feel that it is wiso to agree that rate control is no party measure and that the time has come when the com in on people of the country are demanding a minimum of their right.- and it may be well to grant them, -t ihn<*o same common peo ple ' ■ •• *ures to secure a max imii!i 1 i rights by sending anoth- !m'* • men to Congress to legislate ) i hem. : he .tuiii uncement that Judge raft has, for the present at least, declined the proffered place for him on the Supreme bench i- not alto gether a surprise. The Secretary of Wa. knows that not only is there -an immense amount of work that needs doing both in Panama and the Philippines, but that he has be a subjected to much harsh, and .be considers unjust criticism for the way he has handled things in those two corners of the world. Therefore while a seat on the Su preme bench is a thing few men would lightly decline, he has de cided to stay at the head of the War Department foi some months at any rate. There is really no seri ous need for him to make a decision > fore next October when the Su preme Co.;rt reconvene* after the *tuturner recess. Meantime the uiere fact that he has not definitely declined the place will be enough to save the President A great deal of oinbarrasuient from placo seeking •politicians scores of whom have candidates in reserve for the vacant ladgeship should there seeui to lm th- lend ' hauce of their landing it.

What is lumber worth? "Depends on the lumber," you say— j •'what"Sort do you want?' That's how some people talk about j paint. They ask: -'What'll you ' paint my house for?" The Yankee answers: "How do you want it painted? One coat? two coats? three coats? first-class or cheap? The proper answer is; "I want the best paint put on as it ought to be." That's Devoe; but the usual answer is: i "I want a pOod job; but I want it cheap." Which means: I want you to paint it for nothing. I want to be fooled. Lead-and-oil is the costliest paint there is; not the best: it used to be best. Devoe is best, since zinc came in, Devoe lead and-zinc. Zinc toughens the lead and doubles its wear. Zinc costs no more then lead; and we grind by machinery. We have no patent on zinc; but no body else is treating it right. Devoe is your paint. Vours truly F. W. DEVOE & Co., New York. P.

While being royally entertained by | my esteemed young frie nd, Harry Bnrgham, at liis hotel in the town of | Deferiet, Mew York, it was my good fortune to make the acquaintance of a i gentleman who hu« the distinction of living on Hocial terms with Madamo I Julia Phelps and family at the bistor- i i leal old mansion that lies several miles I back from the Rlack river, and by whose kindness I was taken and . (iuced to those illustrious descendants ! of Count Laßay. a French Huguenot ; nobleman, who fled, with others, from : France to escape the inlliction of death I or torture at the hands of thoso who j | sought their destruction in the name | of religion. Before proceeding to describe this { realiy famous chateau, a thing which, ' I in its way, recalls to mind the horrors i of a barbaric past, 1 will give for the ! ; benefit oftho.se not familiar with Hug uenot hi-;!or« , n. brief sketch of that 1 part of French history which relates to Huguenot a Mains and the leaving their ; native country 1 > seek refuge in Europe ; and America. Following in the wake j of Martin Luther the Huguenots ap ; peared to undertake the reformation of j ; France. And the Court of France, ! under Francis the First, looked not un | kinkly upon the movement, and its I success might have been accomplished j ! only for the too inconoclastic tenden- : j cies of the reformers themselves. The | Huguenots were not merely a simple- j | minded body of religious-folk, for real- I ly they assumed such proportions as ! ;to have as followers many families i j amongst the French nobility,and made j j strong pretentions to governmental i 1 power, principally through the instru- I mentality of Henry of Navarre. And j although the bloodiest of all known j massacres, that of St Bartholomew, which was enacted on August 24th, 1572, when so many thousands of men, women and children of the Protestant faith were slaughtered in cold blood, yet in 1598 the Huguenots extorted from Henry the Fourth the famous Edict of Nantes, which granted to these people the simple rights of relig ious liberty, under which they lived and prospered until the year 1685, when the revocation of the Edict of Nantes | took place. This brutal and unwise | act again subjected the Huguenots to | the same religious bigotry and fury j they had suffered in earlier years, j And to save themselves from extinc -1 tion they deserted their native coun j try to the extent of many hundreds of j thousands, going to England, Germany i and Holland Some crossed the At j lantic and found refuge in America. After the revocation, and when the i barbaric acts wore about to be again enacted, both parties alike asked" aid from foreign countries in the strug gle that was to come. Italy and Spain obeyed the summons of the pontiff at Rome, while Germans and English en rolled for the assistance of the Hugue nots. Few greater calamities could have befallen France at that time, for the Huguenots in their exodus carried with them the arts and tastes which until then were the special gifts of France alone; so that in the arts of : peace and of war the Huguenots were ! at once arrayed against the country j | which had so wantonly and cruelly op- | I possed them. The loss, great as it was | to France, was a blessing in equal pro portion to the countries which gladly i offered them an asylum. Religious in j tolerance had not only passed the ' death sentence on all Huguenots in France, but had destroyed and crushed more than half the commercial and I manufacturing industries of the coun j try. The nation's beat interests and | best people were sacrificed on the altar jof religious madness. Christians liv i ing now, whether Catholic or Protes 1 I taut, are not answerable for the bar- j j baris and fiendish acts which either i j sect practiced upon the other in cen ! | turies past. Civilization has fought its j | battles and has subdued the brutal in- | stincts in man that once held sway, j Had the Huguenots succeeded in J France to the extent of bringing about ' the equilibrium of religious forces, how j different would the histories of the j religious world read to-day. France j ! would have become a great nation at j | an earlier period and. its better in flu- | I ence wouid have been felt over all I i Christendom. It would have been sav- j ; ed the odium of its horrible massacre ! of St. Bartholomew and all the (lend- j ish disgrace that followed in its train; j and with the retention at home of that j splendid element it persecuted and j drove away from its shores, its sucoess in all the arts of manufacture and com- \ merce would have made France the j paramount nation of the world. Un I bridled religious fanaticism has cost ! the world dearly, indeed. 1 will now speak of my visit to ' Madame Julia Phelps at her Huguenot ' j home, and, as far as my knowledge ! j goes, is the last remaining home of j Huguenot fame in New York and per- ! I haps io America. After crossing the | Black river we passsefl over a few miles 1 of sandy plains and through a dense forest of white pine. Every tree in j this forest has grown since the settle ment of the Huguenots and is said to I | be the last remaining forest, of pine in i ' that country. It is a part of the estate j | deceiuled from Count La Ray. Emerg iug from this wood we came into open fields partly surrounded by several "in closures of great, fine old sugar maple j parks. In the midst of all this is the | famous old mansion (or chateau), with its coachman's house, perhaps the most I ancient of all, and the barns and stables where many steeds have been kept. Being familiar with the old ! country artistocratic home, it was j j plain to be seen how closely the orig- I inal designers had carried out their ' I desires to create things a little old | world like. In an opening through I one of these maple parks, and at a point known as the "Look Out," are j the ruins of the wine cellar, upon i I which once stood a luxuriously furn j ished hull, where the gentry were 1 wont to meet and play cards and smoke ! and drink the best of French wine. : | The view from this memorable spot i J covers a landscape of more open fields and a lovely lake On entering the mansion I flrM met the elderly Madame Phelps, a I.id) of exceedingly fine features and one who impresses you as being a typical de cendentoi u noble type of people and one worth v to be the mistress of a home so illustrious as history and time havemude this one to l>e. Alter fiutb er introduction 1 was shown over the iotpoaing rooms and enjoyed the | splendor of that forest houie. i There seemed to me so many rare and 1 priceless things ill it, which 1 was told once adorned the Baroness La Kay's The claims wc make for I |gy Lucas Paints are not mere Ha Try them and know for / I | yourself that I jljp have greater "ft j|jr _ brilliancy, , $ richer gloss and go farther and last longer I than any other paint made & John Lucas & Co Philadelphia ! chateau in France. There were beauti ful old clocks on the mantel pieces, all glittering as on the day they left the jewelers' hands, and splendid example of French skill and taste of more than two centuries ago. These useful adornments have ticked and told the time one century after another, and who knows but what at some time they have passed as tokens of the deep est friendship by those who have so long ago passed into dust. Of the art treasures that hung upon the massive walls were paintings by the most cele brated French and English painters, and the one this dear old lady pointed out to me with all the pride, as I could have fancied, of a real born French lady, was a portrait of the late Leon Gambetta The tall windows, set deep ly into the massive walls, were draped with silk lace curtains of lovely designs and today, although generation atter generation and century after century have passed away, this magnificent drapery, made by Huguenot hands iu the days of their trials and perils, is as lustrous and free from all signs of wear as one could imagine it to have been when the fabric left the loom. Noth ing surprised me more than to learn that these exquisite curtains had been brought from France by the original settlers. The noble French families brought | with them the best they had; and in | making the settlement which they ! then termed "The Campagnia de New ! York," they appeared to realize that j the region they had settled would grow I into a great colony. ! Before leaving the chateau my friend | and myself drank heartily to the ! health of Madame Sulia Phelps and to all the household. ALFREIJ TRUMAN. Shubuta, Mississippi. CARD FROMUTTAGGART.

People who have spent a great deal of j money with catarrh specialists, deriving | but little 1-i neiit. have seen almost inline j diate good r< suits from the use of Ilyomei, | and continued treatment with this remedy ! has resit ted in a complete and lasting cure.

Should j not , nough for a cure, extra hot ties of liuimei can he obtained for 5(1 | cents.
