| Cave Spring Notes. it
Cavb Springs, Deo. 24, —The new
pastor of tbe Methodist church, ReV.
W. C. Fox, has arrived, preached two
sermons, and made a fine impression.
Mrs, J. Scott Davie is spending
Christmas at her home in Marietta.
There is just no telling what is going
to be done in the way of matrimony in 1
Cave Spring, within the next few 1
weeks.
Rev. Mr. Gardner, and family, of
North Alabama, are in the city.
Facilities for instruction in typeset
ting and printing at the Georgia school 1
for the deaf will soon be a reality.
The oyster festival and dinner givet 1
last week to raise money for purchas- 1
ing a library for the Cherokee Wesleyan
Institute was successful beyond expec
tations. A neat sum was realized, and
before long the school will be supplied
with a variety of choice books.
Dr. J. C. Watts visited Rome today, i
Toward Rome all faces turn. i
Miss Mattie Montgomery, of Agate,
Ga., will hold a position in the Chero
kee Wesleyan Institute next year. She i
is a young woman of aimable nature and i
recognized qualifications as a teacher,
bringing with her certificates of highest 1
order from the president of Piedmont
Institute, and from the county school i
commissioner.
Mrs. R. B. Tilly and family, are
spending the holidays with relatives at i
Norcross. 1
Little Charlie Graham, the bright son i
of Mrs. Alice Graham, of this place, is
visiting Rome.
The “Punch and Judy” show has i
come again, and gone. i
It is now an almost assured fact that i
Cave Spring will have electric lights a '
an early date. It may be that we shall
have water works, too. Who knows?
But we can’t see why the Southern
Railroad can’t give us a more conven
ient schedule on the Alabama division, i
If we had an early train to Rome, the !
railroad and the city would be benefited i
largely by the increased patronage.
The people are now beginning to find !
out that of all the newspapers in North ,
Georgia—and, in Rome, their name is i
“legion,” The “Tribune” is the best.
Increased patronage and contributions i
from our town can be secured by a more
lively interest in its local affairs.

which was saying much for the latter;
principles as uncompromisingly straight
as the wirey red wisps which stuck
straight out over her forehead, and a
wide, all-embracing smite, which was
as genial and irrepressible as her Irish
wit.
The name of this unique character
couldn’t have been anything else but
Phoebe.
Phoebe had two absorbing ideas in
life: one was to learn to play the organ
and if energy as to pumping the. pedals
would have accomplished the feat, she
would have been famous long ago.
The other was even nearer her soft
heart and she confided it to me with
many pauses and twists, and blushes,
just at dusk one winter day. She was
in love! Yes; in love in every inch of
her great body with a young medical
student who owned a nice blacksmith
shop.
Her honest face fairly shone with
pride as she confided to me that he was
•‘pale and ailin’ aud couldn’t work
much;’’but law sakes! “she said, roll
ing up her sleeve and displaying a mus
cle worthy of a prize fighter, “Es I
aint tbe one to work fer him who is?”
and she glared aronud fiercely.
“Whc, indeed,” I gasped briefly—l
had not heard about the new woman
then or I could have grasped her idea
better. Then she went into raptures
over every black curl on his head; but
she showed her womanly attributes
soon; for she fairly bubbled over with
delight and showed every tooth in her
head—said teeth being of extra size and
quantity, by-the way. when she depicted
with many confidential nudges the rage
of the other girls and how many mean
things they said about her. “Land
alive! It don’t make a mite o’ differ
ence to me! While they’re a cacklin',
I’m a restin’!”
“Exactly.” I said, and pondered long
in the gloaming.
Getting very gay one night, the phil
osopher and I attended a wedding—a
swagger colored one. After various de
lays on account of the non-arrival of the
mother-in-law etc., the philosopher
suggested that the groom had “taken
time by the fetlock and dispatched her
before hand”—the procession fileds lowly
up the aisle.
“We is met to expedite de ceremony,”
said the pompous clergyman. “Like the
‘Old Maid’s Convention’ in Rome”
whispered the philosopher. Then in or t
der to give the couple a chance to escape
the yoke about to be imposed, or to en
courage them or discourage them or
both or neither, he slowly and distinctly
read everything the Bible had to say
about women and marriages from Gene
sie to the views of St. Paul, and then
endeavored to smooth it over with the
passage in Proverbs: “He who getteth a
wife, getteth a good thing. ’ ’
Then after much time spent in re
moving white gloves, they “jined right
hands;” but the embarrassed groom im
mediately let go. The bride kept her
hand out however, and his finally
sneaked back and joined it.
“You see its always the woman that
holds on faithful” murmured the philos
opher. After that, he bade them kneel
and “provoke God’s blessing,” and then
he ‘ ‘announced” them man and wife,
and saluted the bride with great gusto.
At that moment, some one untied a
bag of rice to fall on their heads; but
the aim was not good and the rice scat
tered far behind, •
“Just like life” quoth the philoso
pher. We always just miss tbe good
luck and it falls behind us, usually
when we have quit this earth. ’ ’
“So, so!” I said, and pondered again.

'''Good Friends.
In a cavalry troop there generally
grows up between each horse and his
rider a strong bond of sympathy and
friendship. Soldiers in the cavalry serv
ice are in most cases stationed at remote
western posts, where, far from home
and friends and as a rule unmarried,
they are necessarily very limited in
their social pleasures and amusements.
On this account, perhaps, the propensi
ty for having pets of various kinds it
very strongly developed and increases
the sense of fellowship between the
horses and their ridera Cruelty or in
attention to the wants of their horses it
a rare trait among cavalrymen, and
even should this be the case from the
feeling of proprietorship cruelty from
one soldier to the horse of another would
be resented as an injury to the ownei
himself.
This comradeship is more in evidence
upon a long march or while in the field
engaged upon arduous or dangerous du
ties. On such occasions, when forage
often becomes scarce, cavalry soldiers
will jealously guard every grain that
their horses receive, and should the ser
geant through carelessness or prejudice
give a trifle more or less to one than the
other it often provokes a vast deal of
grumbling, so closely is the trooper in
terested in the welfare of his horse.—

NEW KLONDIKE ROUTE.
What It Expected ot the Railroad and
Tramway.
(Special Correspondence, j
Tacoma, Dec. »s.—Transportation is
the most impcttant factor in gathering
tbe harvest of untold millions from the
placers of the Klondike and Alaska
From Tacoma to Dawson City the dis
tance is;
Via the mountain passes 1,482 miles
Via St. Michael's and the Yukon. . 4.500 miles
The time required by the two routes,
beginning with the season of 1898, will
be as follows:
Via the mountain passes 15 dnys
Via St. Michael’s and the Yukon 50 dnyr
In many cases the journey can be
made in less time by either of the routes,
but as a rule the number of days indi
cated will be required.
Next is the question of expense. With
a year’s supply of provisions and min-

ing and cooking utensils, clothing, tent
and what comes under the general head
of “an outfit, ” together with the fare
paid for one person, via St Michael’s
and the Yukon river, a rate of S6OO has
been quoted. With the same outfit fares
paid and with the opportunity of get
ting to the diggings two or three
months earlier, the journey can be made
overland for S3OO.
Such has been the course pursued in
the past in seeking gold in Alaska, but
the season of 1898 will record a change.
The miners will rush into the Alaska
and Klondike placers from 80 to 60
days earlier next year than heretofore,
and in so doing will beat a path over
the ice long before the Yukon is releas
ed from the frosty grip of winter.
This transformation in Alaskan trav
el is the direct result of transportation
facilities that have been provided by
the introduction of the American rail
road and the American aerial tramway
into the mountain passes, a company
having been organized at Tacoma. The
company was incorporated Oct. 11 last
as the Chilkat Railroad and Transport
company, but had previously completed
surveys for its lines and filed its rights
of way maps with the government at
Washington and also at Sitka, Alaska.
The railroad and tramway will be
completed and in operation by Jan. 15
next, when 120 tons of freight and sup
plies and 200 passengers can be handled
daily
Witn the introduction of the railroad
and tramway on the passes the days of
high packing prices will disappear for
ever.
While the Indians made use of the
Chilkat pass almost exclusively in car
rying miners’ supplies to the headwa
ters of the Yukon, the Yankees are con
templating the introduction of steam on
several other routes and passes. The
Chilkat pass affords the shortest route,
however, and that fact may in part ex
plain why the aborigines made use of
it. They desired, first of all, to earn
their packing money in the easiest pos
sible way, and by traveling 27 miles on
the Chilkat pass they were able < to earn
just as much as if they had tramped 150
miles on the Stikeen route or 46 miles
on the Skagguay pass. When the white
man began trying to get to Klondike by
way of the Skagguay or White pass, the
Indian grunted derisively and branded
him “heap big fool.”
With the railroad and tramway, how
ever, the mountain climb'will be avoid
ed, and also as the time to prospect in
the new diggings is during the winter
time advantage will be taken of the new
transportation facilities at the begin
ning of the new year.
The railroad is building from the
landing at Dyea to the head of the oan-

Chilkat trail. At tire head of the can
yon the first span of the aerial tram
way begins, and with a five-eighth inch
steel cable stretched on iron poles set
100 feet apart will carry the Klon
dike™’ outfit to Sheep Camp, a distance
of four miles. At Sheep Camp the sec
ond section of the elevated railroad in
the mountains will whisk the miner
four miles over tire summit to the head
waters of the Yukon at Crater lake.
Twenty hours after arriving at Dyea
the gold hunters will be in the great
Yukon basin, and after the river breaks
up in April next the Klondiker can
travel from New York, Boston or Phila
delphia to Klondike in from 18 to 20
days.
Nearly all of the material for the
Chilkat railroad and aerial tramway
has been sent to Dyea. The care for the
railroad left the carshops at Tacoma
Nov. 1, and every indication points to
the completion of the road and tramway
before Jan. 15, the date set in the con
tracts when the property is to be turned
over in working order to the Chilkat
Railroad and Transport company.
Interest centers largely in the aerial
tramway and the means of operating it.
A 50 horsepower engine is located at
Sheep Camp and will furnish the power
for operating the two four mile spans.
Wood cut from the forest about Sheep
Camp will be used for fuel, and the
tramway will be operated day and night.

Foy and the Lunatic.
Eddie Foy, the comedian, spent e
summer vacation at his old home in
central New York. One day as he wat
strolling past the large insane asylum
that stands on the outskirts of the town
he was startled by a low “Hist!” and
on looking up saw one of the worst
heads that ever came under his gaze
peering over the wall. Eddie was not
frightened, for he did not think the
maniac could scale the wall, but he
quickened his pace. He had proceeded
but a short distance when he heard a
scrambling, and on looking saw that
the madman had climbed over the wall
and was following him. Eddie walked
fast, but the maniac, who was an im
mense fellow, with a face that wore a
demoniac look, walked faster. Foy trot
ted a little, and the madman trotted
after him. Eddie finally broke into a
run and was horrified to see that his
pursuer was not only running also, but
was gaining steadily. Eddie is not much
of a sprinter, but on this occasion he
made remarkable time, but soon Foy
could hear the labored breathing of hie
pursuer and felt that he could make nc
further cTort. Just as he was about to
faint from exhaustion the maniac
reached forward, touched him gently on
the shoulder and said: “Tag! You’re
it.”—San Francisco Argonaut.
