LOUISE LATE»U.
There died on the 25th us Augaat, at
Bo is d’Haine, Belgium, a young woman
named Lon-z Latou, who, for many I
year* 4 , Las been considered a physical and
religious prodigy. She was one of about
fifty who bad the marks of Christ’s
woundfl upon her body in periods of ec
stasy. The most renowned of the fifty
stigmatists was St, Francis, of Assisei. It .
was a little curious that the number of
Louise's years cn earth exactly correfl- j
ponded with those of the Savior, the marks
of whose Passion she shared in a preter
natural if not supernatural manner. In
her eighth year Louise went into service
and became a little Sister of Charity, un
til an accident prevented her from work
ing. The family being desperately poor,
she resorted to needle work. When par
tially recovered, she went back to her mis
sion of mercy, her heroic conduct during a
eholera epidemic being such as to strike
all beholders with amazement.
she grew ill and was thought to be dying;
but, after the sacrament was given her,
she stated that she would not die, and
asked for food. Though she did not die,
her pains were dreadful and her maladies
numerous. The pains disappeared upon
her praying to recover. On the 21st of
April, in spite of her'prostration and weak,
ners, she summoned up miraculous
strength and appeared in church. Already
the people of Bois d’Haine regarded her as
a saint. On the 21st of April she received
the stigmata —the five wounds of Jesus
Christ. Thousands of persons from all
parts of the world visited her, and were
witnesses of this phenomenon. She was
examined by the most eminent scientists,
some of whom pronounced her case su
pernatural, while'othern, of a skeptical
tendency, dismissed it as inexplicable. Dr.
Lefebre has given a technical description
of her periodic bleeding in the hands,
feet, side and brow, corresponding pre
cisely with the Saviour’s wounds.
Still more wonderful is the fact that for
eleven years she had lived on the Sacra
ment alone, no natural food or drink ever
passing her lips. It is said that “frequent
ly rained in ecstasy, she did not sleep and
yet enjoyed perfect health.” The most
searching theological and medical exami
nation, lasting for eighteen months, de
tected, so far as the record goes, no fraud
or imposition. There seems to be no
doubt at all, from the overwhelming mass
of testimony, that Louise Lateau was a
saintly maiden, incapable of deceit, and
one singularly favored by Almighty God
Her death was not a painless one, but
borne with the courage and confidence of
a martyr. It was remarked that a shade of
sorrow settled upon her dead face, but
the hands were flexible and soft.
The phenomenal stigmata appeared on
her every Friday for twelve years—about
800 times—and were of world-wide fame.
Scoffers have arisen who profess to explain
the mystery in some unsatisfaetory way.
The cumulative evidence is against them.
The holiness of the woman is invariably
attested and her wonderful ecstasies and
marks have been seen by many thousands
of persons. The incredulous may refuse
belief. The pious will contend that this
was a veritable child of a miracle, whom it
pleased God to make memorable in an age
that seeks scientifically to argue Him out of
existence.
WHY SHE SNUBBED HIM.
Mies Mary Anderson, who, Uncle Remus
says, will be nineteen next June, has cre
ated a sensation in England. Her acting
as Parthenia has been praised by the pre s
and people, and the grace and womanli
ness of this subtle American artiste have
been admired from Pall Mall to Piccadilly.
In the very opening of her success, how
ever, we find Miss Anderson behaving in a
very unexpected manner. She is said to
have snubbed in a most unmistakable way
the prince of the blood royal and heir ap
parent of the British throne, by refusing
an introduction to His Royal Highness,
the Prince of Wales. So daring
an affront to the head of Eng
lish gentlemen and of English fashion
could not easily be condoned in Eng
land. The best people might be forced
to return the slight inflicted upon the
head of the household of Guelph, and
Miss Maby would be more than apt to
find herself under the ban of the Court,
the nobility and the loyal British press
It has been hinted in extenuation of her
conduct, however, that she was jealous of
her own reputation as a woman, and that
this act was a signal that she would not
follow in the notoriety of Mrs. Langtry,
or even of American beauties who have
permitted the smiles and encouraged the
gallantry of the frisky Albert of Eng
land. Such being the motives of Miss
Anderson, it should not be our task«to
asperse her conduct or to deplore the
position into which she has involuntarily
been placed.
Our theory of this seeming slight, how
ever, is that it was not intended as a slight
at all, but that it was rather the result of
unfortunate but.at the same time, unavoid
able circumstances. It is well known by the
American public-at least is recognized
by the dramatic world-that Miss Maby
Anderson, who is a Kentucky girl, has
become an inveterate and all-absorbed
chewer of gum. It is town talk in
Louisville that she ordered, previous to
her departure across the deep, several hun
dred packages of taffy-tolu, done up in
the best of style, and that her chief occu
pation on ship-board as her principal di
version in London has been in exercising
that broad flexible mouth which she curls
so prettily at the savages of Ingomar, over
the perfumed cakes of incomparable gum.
It is an acknowledged bit of green room
gossip that Miss Maby consumes the time
of her waits plying the plastic tolu, and
that she had a habit of sticking her gum
upon a fly when called to the stage
for her role. Indeed, her rupture
with Mr. Milnes Levick, who sup
ported her so handsomely in 1880, result
ed from Levick’s leaving his tobacco quid
unfortunately near the leading lady’s gum,
causing her to mistake one for the other
and ruining the role of Galatea for the
rest of the evening. On the occasion re
ferred to in England, Miss Maby was per
forming her best as Parthenia. She had
just vanished between the flies after leav
ing Ingomab perplexed over that familiar
verse:
‘‘What love is, if thou woulds’t be taught,
Thy heart must teach alone;
Two souls with but a single thought,
Two hearts that beat as one,”
and as she does not appear until two scenes
CHRONICLE AND CONSTITUTIONALIST. AUGUSTA, GA., WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 19, 1883.
I later on, commenced upon two cakes of
* taffy - tolu, being marvelously happy
| So ch a time is not a fit juncture to disturb a
young woman of talent, and royalty enjoys
no rights that taffy-tolu should respect. So
the Prince of Wales found out, for when
his card was sent round to the fly, Miss
Anderson was too much absorbed in her
Kentucky luxury to see him, and said so.
Under the circumstances she had no way
|of disposing of her tolu. Kentucky girls
have special pockets and reticules for their
I gum and on Sundays invariably carry the
quid between the pages of their prayer
books, but Miss Maby Andebson, dressed in
the simple folds of the Grecian Maid, had no
such receptacle and to have plastered it up
on the fly again would have been madness.
It was a clear choice between the tolu and
the visitor an 1 the latter was naturally dis
carded. This, we are informed, is all
there is in the sensaation.
In this connection it may be stated that
j Georgia girls are fast adopting this dissipa
' tion, and that large blocks of tolu have
been brought from the Louisville Exposi
; tion and consumed within the past three
weeks. How far the habit will grow in
■ this climate, cannot be told, but Geor
| gia girls are believed even now to be
taking kindly to gum. The adoption of this
all-absorbing custom can under the cir
, cumstances then, be but a warning that
' during the period for rumination no prince
need apply.
TWO SIDES TO THE QUESTION.
Ex Governor Bookwalteb, of Ohio, who
lately returned from a trip around the
world, in a recent interview, said: “It is a
remarkable fact that the enduring races on
the globe do not eat meat. The Scotch,
ans. The Scotch eat oats, the Italians eat
paste and the Hindoos eat rice. The latter
are forbidden, by their religion to eat
meat. The Japanese are not meat eaters,
yet I was carried in the only vehicle they
have in Japan, a kind of two-wheeled car
or barrow pulled by men, for a distance of
hundreds of miles, over mountains, too,
and they sometimes took me fifty miles a
dav without a horse.”
The Scotch would eat meat if it could be
had readily. We dare say that all Scotch
men who have money consume flesh meat.
The same may be said of numerous Italians,
Hindoos and Japanese. At the same time,
it is admitted that many persons eat too
much meat, and that it would not be amiss
if they practiced frugality to a considera
ble degree. “Ex Governor” Bookwal
ter should have stated that the meat
. eating Englishman, with a handful
of men, controls millions of Oriental veg
etarians; that the meat-eating Russian
pushes his conquests over a large part of
Europe and the East; that the meat-eating
German is more powerful than the paste
eating Italian; and that the meat-eating
American is the wonder of the world for
progress, invention, intelligence and ag
gressiveness. The best diet in the world
for mankind is a mixed one, with an avoid
ance of gluttony. As a rule, men eat too
much and exercise too little; but it will be
impossible for Mr. Bookwalteb or any
body else to demonstrate that the vegeta
rian nations can stand up successfully
against the meat-eating peoples.
PARISH FURMAN.
About two months ago, Judge Parish
Furman called at the Chronicle office,
while passing through Augusta. This was
the first and only time the writer ever
beheld him. Though 37 years of age, be
did not look anything like it, and the
high, bright hopes beaming in his whole
countenance and giving tone to every look
and syllable made him appear still more
youthful. He had becojne famous as a
practical planter and, by precept and
! example, had done more perhaps than
any man of his years to fire 4he whole
agricultural South with emulation of his
own remarkable career. It is said that
the formula he had given to the world was
not original. Granted; but he had the
signal credit of not only popularizing it,
but demonstrating substantially that the
poorest land in the South can be made to
produce crops equalling and often sur
passing those fertilized by nature and un
worn by culture. He was a splendid type
of the younger generation of Southern
men who ara to build up this
section and make it the most pro
ductive on the earth. It is to
his credit that, finding that law and
politics could not satisfy his ambition,
and that other men ware apt to gain more
local celebrity than himself, in such pur
suits, he turned his acute intellect, his
oratorio?! gifts, his fondness for composi
tion, his discipline in research to another
arena, with such success as to completely
overshadow in far-pervading reputation
the rivals of his former profession. While
his mind was absorbed in the triumph of
his farming operations, and the-grander
plans for developing a home industry in
mining and fertilizers, he had not alto
gether suppressed the desire to shine as a
legislator. It seemed to us, from some
casual words he dropped, that his vision
looked beyond his agricultural schemes
and that he expected, later on, to make a
victory in one domain the stepping stone
to highest preferment in another. But he
little dreamed, as we did not, that, instead
of pushing from one distinction to another
during a long life, he then dwelt under
the shadow of death. He stood before us
the picture of robust, manly health and
beauty, seemingly predestined to length
of days, and yet, in about eight weeks, he
was sleeping in the grave. It is strange that
so useful, so thorough, so excellent, so
strong, so admirable a young man shou'd
pass away, while so many thousands who
merely cumber the earth and scandalize it
remain ! We are again confronted with
the cry of Leab over the body of
Cordelia : " What! Shall a rat, a cat,
a dog have life, and thou no breath at
all?” The voice of Faith, however, comes
still and soft and low to answer that, in
all likelihood, this noted Georgian had
fulfilled his mission; that he had sowed
the seed for an abundant harvest; that it
might not have been well for him to lin
ger upon earth, and that God, who gave
and who took him, “doeth all things well.”
He has left behind him, to be the pride of
wife, children and country, a noble record,
haloed by an undying memory of youth.
Other men will take up the work that he
his so marvellously begun and bring it
to grand conclusions; but none of them
will have, we suspect, a fame so singular
ly pure, and long will it be before Georgia
forgets her worthy son.
LABOR VS. CAPITAL
THE SENATE COMMITTEE STILL IN
SESSION.
Mr. Fink Telling What He Know*
About Organization—The Railway
Lines and Their Pooling Policy—
His Opinion of Trades Unions
—Mr. Fortune >*ives His
Opinion or Education
in the South—Con
vict Labor.
(By Telegraph to the Chronicle.)
New York, September 17.—Albert Fink,
commissioner of the trunk lines, was a
witness before the Senate Committee on
Education and Labor. He said he was
now at the head of a bureau composed of
about forty railroad companies, who have
organized for the purpose of establishing
and maintaining a uniform tariff. The
extension of railroad lines in the United
States, and the fierce competition between
them, made organized action a necessity to
their existence. The roads represented in
the association of which the witness was
the head, were the five trunk lines, the
New York Central, the New York Lake
Shore and Western, the Pennsylvania,
the Baltimore and Ohio, and the
Grand Trunk Line of Canada, with
all their Western connections. The lat
ter are roads running East and West.
The territory in which all these
roads are located is included between
the Ohio and Mississippi rivers and
the great lakes. The principal object
of the association was to arrange a uni
form rate of tariffs for transportation on
the competitive plans. It had nothing to
do with local business, but only where
there was competition. At some great dis
tributing points for certain class of busi
ness this was necessary in order for the
protection of shippers that the roads com
peting for this business should have an
understanding by which the rates would,
be known. Senator Blair inquired wheth
er this was not opposed to the idea of nat
ural competition. Mr. Fink replied that
these associations did not at all effect natu
ral and legitimate competition. They mere
ly prevented ruinous competition between
railroads, and was very different from that
between private individuals. In the latter
case competition would cease when it
reached a disastrous point, with railroads
on the contrary, a ruinous rate of trans
portation could be carried on fora long time
without the extent of the injury becoming
known until perhaps the road was on the
verge of bankruptcy. This was frequently
the case in a railroad war. This kind of
strife was not competition. The effect of
the establishment of a uniform rate was to
assess transportation charges equitably on
all branches of traffic. When rates were
placed very low on through business it
was common to put up rates on local busi
ness. It was thus in the interest of local
business to adjust uniform and paying
rates on through business. In a railroad
war, also, a shipper was in ignorance of
what the rate would be from one day to
another. This created an uncertainty in
trade which aftected all branches of busi
ness and its influence was felt on credit
throughout the country and seen in the
fl notations of prices. The effect of the as
sociation of roads in a joint committee was
to bring about an understanding in regard
to rates and publish them. This was in
the interest of shippers as much as for the
railroads, and the established rates, as a
general rule, were satisfactory to all. The
rate was determined always by competition
between water and railroad routes. The
object was to establish a rate that was not so
high that business was lost, nor so low
' that there was a pecuniary loss. The office
of which the witness was the head was
nothing more or less than a great intelli
gence office, whose object was to furnish
information which could be used in pro
moting the general prosperity of the coun
try. It was not a combination for any
unlawful purpose. In regard to the power
of railroads to extort unreasonable charges,
Mr. Fink thought this was an impossi
bility. The competition of water courses
would always act to prevent this, besides
other conditions would enter in to prevent
the maintenance of an extortionate rate.
Readmitted that in the Eist and West
rates were higher in winter than summer,
but he thought this increase just, as the
obstructions caused by snow and ice in the
West during the former season rendered
the transportation of freight more costly.
The amount of fluctuations of rates at
different seasons was never more than a
few cents on the hundred.
Mr. Fink thought that the State Rail
road Commissioners were beneficial where
it was only sought to reform abuses, but
he did not believe in letting them exercise
arbitrary power in fixing rates or charges,
and in controlling the railroad property, as
was done in Georgia. He had no objection
to their doing this, however, if they made
good the losses suffered by the railroad
companies Many men worked for years
without receiving any compensation what
ever to establish the railroad line, but just
as soon as the road began to make money
then there was a cry that it was a monopo
ly and an effort was made to get possession
of its property. A statement had been
made by ex-Becretary Windom, of Minne
sota, to the effect that railroads had
it in their power to put up rates at any
time to extort money from the shippers
and that the raise of five cents per hun
dred in the cost of transportation of grain
would give a gain of $15,010,000 to
railroads This statement was copied
extensively throughout the. country.
This was based on a wrong es
timate, as the raise of five cents refer
red to had only brought in $2,800,000.
Besides there were reductions correspond
ing to the increase of rates, and fluctua
tions in grain were between 35 and 25
cents per hundred. It never went beyond
these limits, and the rate was now at the
lowest limit. The witness did not think
it was any evidence that a road was
charging too high a rate that it was
able to pay twenty pej cent dividends
on its stock. The only thing
to be regarded was the rates.
If these were reasonable it made no differ
ence how much the road made. It only
showed that the road, by it* good manage
ment or superior accommodations, bad se
cured a large portion of the business.
Every limitation of profit, he thought,
should be accompanied by a guarantee
against losses. There was very little dan
ger, however, that the railroads would make
exorbitant charges in this country, and
there were very few roads that made as
much as ten per cent. The railroads in
this country could not be replaced by their
present capitalization. It was true that
many roads might have watered theirstock.
but it was equally true that many others,
with a large capital stock, had gone into
bankruptcy and the stock was cancelled.
It was not true that some communities
were taxed to support the railroads at the
expense of others. This could be seen by
examining the condition of each road
separately and of the community which
patronized it. Mr. Fink thought that
legislation might be employed to assist
the railroads in maintaining uniform rates
if such an organization as he managed could
be incorporated by the general government,
but no direct legislation on any question
affecting the rates would avail. In fact,
he thought that for some years it would be
best to let the railrords manage their own
business until the people came to under
stand that the interests of the public and
the railroads were identical. Any legis
lation at the present time would
be regarded with suspicion. The Reagan
transportation bill he regarded as utterly
impracticable. The freight rates in this
country were the cheapest in the world,
and the tendency was t<s still lower them.
The scheme advocated by many, that the
government should purchase the roads
and run them itself, he pronounced to
be the wildest folly, and one which no
sane man would for a moment contem
plate. The character of this government
was utterly inconsistent with such a thing
and if it had been accomplished in other
countries it was under very different con
ditions. In regard to trades unions, Mr.
Fink thought that they were extremely
beneficial to workingmen when restricted
to their legitimate functions. He did not
believe strikes, as a rule, were beneficial,
but thought that the cifficuhies could be
adjusted by other means mere effectually
if labor wa-? properly otaau z?d. -Strikes
were the result of defective organization.
Thomas Fortune, editor of the New York
Globe, a colored organ, testified that edu
cational facilities of the South were very
poor, and he advocated national appropria
tions for this object. He condemned the
convict labor system of the South, and
thought an investigating committee should
be appointed so inquire into the matter
thoroughly.

I. W. HARPER’S 5
Nelson County Kentucky
WHISKEY
Is Indorsed by the Medical Profession throughout the
United States:
is preferred by C< no’sseurs, and
Is used largely in Private Families;
BECAUSE it is an Absolutely Pure Kentucky Product, made in a district famous for its fine
whiskies for nearly a century." Distilled from carefully selected Kentucky Grain, made in the
old fashioned way by hand, aged by natural process, it has for years stood in the front rank of
Fine Kentucky Whiskies. The Distiller makes it a rule to sell neither to J jbbers nor Rectifiers
and this rule is never violated.
HARPER’S WHISKIES
Are shipped direct from the distillery to the retailer. Consumers can therefore rely on getting
the pure article from the dealer.
