Mr. Tillnan said that lie had just

finished reading an article in The Times to the effect that Mrs. Weis would attend the inauguration when her husband and his brother stopped into the office. The three spent the day ' to. gether, which would indicate that Mr. Tillman has more or less ot a sinecure.

His stationery indicates that lie has charge, of the collection department for the Jacksonville Gas Co. as head bookkeeper. "Bill" O'Kourke, who is remembered by hundreds of Hammond friends, is also connected with this company. When the hard working boys in the Hammond gas office heard that there would be "a piece in the paper about Tillman and O'Rourke" they instructed the reporter to include oodles of best wishes to their former fellow tollers who are now in the land of palms and crocodiles. From Jacksonville the Weis brothers left for Key West with intention t go from there to Havana and the Panama. They left Hammond a week ago last Sunday and expected to be gone a month. Mrs. Weis is expected home from the east some time this week.
