After Gen. Booth of the Salvation Army

The Republican candidate for Governor
In Tennessee is making a good deal of

Gov. Bate.
Secretary Lincoln has gone to spend a
few days on the Jersey coast, leaving no
“member of the government” in Wash

With that talented trio—Walt Whitman,
Private Dalzell, and Penitentiary Joyce
all composing campaign songs in the in
terest of the Republican ticket there is a
good deal more poetry than truth in that
party. It is the very poorest kind of
poetry, however.
lt should be borne In mind that John P.
St. John is not related to John J. Little
john, the Butler bolter from tbe Demo

john is thought to have no views in
common with the Prohibitionists except
a desire for political promotion.
A daily mail between New York and
London is one of the probabilities of the
near future. If Blaine should happen to
get in, no doubt a fine subsidy job would
be worked out of it, and a good large
slice ot the troublesome surplus would
be diverted in the interests of mail con
tractors.
The important information is given out
by a Cincinnati paper that Cassius M.
Clay has made up bis mind to go for
Blaine and Logan. Af Cassius lives in
Kentucky, which is not a very close State,
the Democrats need not be panic-stricken
by this news. A Dutchman has only set
tled in Holland.
Ex-Senator Conkling is getting to be
noted as an oarsman, being a member of

It is asserted that a large underground
river runs from Lake Superior through
Lake Huron and under Lake Erie into
Lake Ontario. The old theory in regard
to an immense subterranean river run
ning from the former lake through Illinois,
Indiana and several Southern States Into
the Gulf of Mexico must take an obscure
position for the present.
Tom Ochiltree won’t down. The last
from him is that he will resign his seat in
Congress in order to assume the manage
ment of one of Bonanza Mackey’s rail

a Western railroad from brakesman up,
but it’s a pity that such good material tor
a weather prophet should be wasted—es
pecially as that class is not very numer
ous just now.
N early every paper from the larger cities
complains about the filthy condition of the
streets and lanes, and the danger from
epidemic diseases. If these cities don’t
clean up now and take extra precautions
without delay, they may be visited with
destructive diseases entirely independent
of cholera, yellow fever, etc. It is worthy
of remark that the Southern cities—almost
without exception—are in better condi
tion, from a sanitary point of view, than
they have been for years.
Anonymous correspondents all over the
country are offering suggestions to the
doctors as to how they ought to treat
cholera. It appears that not only have
the old women remedies of the epidemic
of some forty years ago not been forgotten,
but scores of new and alleged scientific
discoveries are being made public. Since
pbenic acid has been recommended in
Europe, salicylic acid is being talked
about as sure death to the microbe, and a
specific for the disease. All remedies
prove of little service in genuine cholera,
however, just as all signs fail in dry
IftitaWi
The Contract Labor System.
It is worthy of notice that the Senate,
which is controlled by Republicans, the
alleged friends of the workingmen, at
the last session of Congress did not even
consider the bill passed by the House to
prevent tbe importation of laborers from
Europe to this country under contract.
Tbe Republican party has always pre
tended to be veiy solicitous about the
comfort and welfare of the workingmen.
It supports a protective tariff more for the
benefit of the workingmen, it says, than
of the protected monopolies. Even tbe
great manufacturers of Pennsylvania
declare that they want a tariff chiefly to
enable them to pay workingmen better
wages. How insincere the Republicans
are. Is shown by tbe practices of the
iron and coal men of Pennsylvania, and
by tbe course pursued by the Republican
Senate. The protected monopolies of
Pennsylvania have Imported thousands
of Hungarian workmen under the con
tract system, and have discharged Ameri
can workmen to make room for them. The
Washington Star announces that a firm
has been organized in that city to import
European laborers under the contract
system. The firm’s idea Is to supply
laborers at a low • rate to railroad
contractors, and contractors of any kind
who have contracts tor the performance
of any work which requires a large num
ber of workingmen. These imported la-
l Mirers will, of course, come into compe
tition with American laborers, and will
not only lower the rate of wages, but will
deprive American laliorers of the means
of earning a living. That the Senate did
not pass the labor contract bill is good
reason for saying that the Republican
party is a much better friend of the mo
nopolists than it is of the workingmen.
Is it not about time for the Republican
party to cease posing as the workingmen’s
triend? Its insincerity and bypocricy
ought to be, and no doubt are, pretty well
understood by this time. It has always
been a friend of the rich rather than of the
poor. During its long lease of power it
has done more to make the rich richer
and the poor poorer than any other party
since the foundation of the government.
It is time that it was compelled to appear
in its true character. The workingmen
ought to understand by this time that the
Republican party is not the workingmen’s
friend. If they have any doubts about it
they will have their doubts removed
during the campaign.
Returning the Money.
It seems strange that the Chairman of
the Republican Congressional Committee
should return money contributed by gov
ernment employes fer campaign purposes,
and yet Mr. McPherson says that is just
what he is doing. He proposes, he says,
to comply strictly with the civil service
law. There is a number of Congrt ssmen
on the committee, and the law forbids
them from receiving contributions
(rom government officials. It must
not be understood, however, that
the Republican managers do not ex
pect any help from the officeholders.
Mr. McPherson ought to have added some
thing to his statement so that the public
might have had the whole truth. In order
to get the best of the civil service law, the
Republicans have organized a committee
at Washington composed of men who
do not hold offices, and who are
charged with the duty of collecting
money from the department employee.
This committee will not be satisfied with
6imply receiving what the clerks and
others are willing to contribute. It pro
poses to ask for a certain per cent, of the
salary of each employe. Of course some
may refuse to submit to the assessment,
but it is pretty certain that those who re
fuse will be remembered, and will be got
rid of on some pretext or other, it
by any chance the Republicans should
be successful. There doesn’t ap
pear to be any reason for Mr. Mc-
Pherson’s assumption of virtue
in this matter. If the officeholders of the
government are to be assessed it makes
little difference, so far as the principle
involved is concerned, whether the money
is paid to one committee or another. The
purpose of the law is to protect the
government employes against political
assessments, lt is evident that that pur
pose is being defeated. Mr. McPherson
insinuates that, the Democratic Congres
sional Committee is violating the law.
He calls attention to a report that the
committee has issued a circular to Demo
cratic members of Congress, and to em
ployes of the House, asking for contribu
tions. If Mr. McPherson succeeds in
taking care of his own committee he will
have his hands full. The attempt to look
after tbe affairs of the Democratic Com
mittee is certain to prove a failure.
Sanitary Questions.
The City Council propose to discuss an
important sanitary question to-morrow
night. It relates to the vaults. The phy
sicians of the city have been invited to be
present at the Council meeting, and give
the Council the benefit of iheir views.
The invitation ought to be generally ac
cepted. There is no matter that has so
great an interest for our citizens as the
health of the city. Sickness of an alarm
ing character would damage business
ana cause property to depreciate. The
city is now healthy. The leading aim ot
the authorities should be to keep it in that
condition. If money is required for san
itary purposes there should be no hesita
tion in appropriating it. A few hundreds of
dollars judiciously expended now may save
thousands of dollar® in the near future.
The cholera is spreading in Europe. It
may not reach this country this
summer. Dr. Hamilton, the Surgeon
General of the Marine Hospital Service,
has expressed the opinion that it will not.
It may not reach this country at all. It
is to be hoped that it will not. If it
should, however, its ravages would be far
less if our towns and cities were prepared
for it. There is another matter which the
Council aud the physicians ought to con
sider. It is the well water which so many
of our citizens use. Is this water
healthy? Many think that it is not.
It is asserted that in some of the wells it
is badly tainted with sewage. If this is
so ougnt not these wells be cl :>sed ? The
most eminent European physicians say
that cholera germs are taken into the sys
tem with water and food. They are very
emphatic in their advice against the use
of impure water. Water may look
pure and have a pleasant
taste, andv,yet contain poison that
will produce disease and death. Those
who drink impure water are generally the
first attacked when an epidemic appears.
Let the authorities have it determined
whether or not the water in our city
wells is fit to drink, and if it isn’t, let
measures be taken to close the wells.
Kelly’s Position.
John Kelly’s position with respect to
Cleveland is beginning to be pretty well
understood. In a conversation with ex-
Gov. Aiken, of South Carolina, a day or
two ago, at which a correspondent of the
Charleston News and Courier was present,
Mr. Kelly 6aid that he should vote for
Cleveland, but expressed doubts about
his election. He thought that there would
be no organized opposition to him in the
party anywhere—not even in New York
but was inclined to think that a great
many Democrats of the working classes
would not support him. He did not say
what the position of Tammany would be,
but his talk left the impression that, as a
society, it would support Cleveland, but
that it would not poll its full vote, and
that it would Dot make any great effort in
Cleveland’s behalf. Mr. Kelly is not at
all sanguine that Cleveland will carry’
New York. Doubtless he is inclined to
take a gloomy view of the situation be
cause his judgment was not followed in
making the ticket. He has not yet suffi
ciently overcome the bitterness caused by
his defeat to talk about political matters
as nis judgment dictates. Outside of
Tammany, there has not been so much
confidence of success among Democratic
leaders of New York for many years.
They predict a majority of at least 60,000
in New York. There may be a falling ofi
in Tammany’s vote, but that loss will be
more than compensated for by the bolting
Republican vote.
Millard Fillmore came from Buffalo, the
home of Gov. Cleveland. Perhaps the
latter will fill more than one term of the
Presidential office.
Who May Vote in Georgia.
Savannah. July Editor Morning
Xei rt: Will you kindly inform me through
the columns ot your paper how long a
person must be a resident of this State
before he can cast his vote for President?
Or has everv citizen a right to vote in
Presidential elections wherever he may
happen to be? Stranger.
The qualifications of voters are thus
defined In article 11., section 1, paragraph
11., of the constitution of Georgia; “Every
male citizen of tbe United States (except
as hereinafter provided), twenty-one
years of age, who shall have resided with
in this State one year next preceding the
election, and shall have resided six
months within the county in which he
offers to vote, and shall have paid all
taxes which may hereafter (1877) be re
quired of him, and which he may have
had an opportunity of paying, agreeably
to law, except for tbe year of the elec
tion, shall be deemed an elector: Pro
vided, that no soldier, sailor, or marine in
the military or naval service of tbe United
States shall acquire the rights of an elec
tor by reason of being stationed on duty
in this State.”
No one has the right to vote for Presi
dent, Congressman, or any other officer,
or on any question, except in the county
of his residence. There is a very popu
lar error that a citizen may vote for Presi
dent in whatever part of the Union he
may happen to be on the day of electron,
and that he may vote lor Congressman in
any part of tbe Congressional District in
which he resides. There are good reasons
for the law requiring every one to vote in
the county of his residence, for there he
i9 known, and if he be disqualified for anv
of the reasons indicated in the above sec
tion, or for crime, there is every opportu
nity for the fact to be developed, and his
vote challenged, or thrown out as illegal.
Otherwise a wide door would be opened
to frauds which it Aould be almost im
possible to guard against, or undo after
perpetration.
Of course, a person moving into the
State within a year, or into the county in
which he resides within six months of an
election, loses his right to vote at that
election. Neither can he vote at the place
of his former residence or elsewhere.
Persons disfranchised in this State are
“those who shall lave been convicted, in
ai.y court of competent jurisdiction, of
treason against the State, of embezzle
ment of public funds, malfeasance in
office, bribery or larceny, or of any crime
Involving moral turpitude, punishable by
the laww'of this State with imprisonment
in the penitentiary, unless such person
shall have been pardoned.” Idiots and
insane persons are also disfranchised.
John Roach’s yacht, the Yos'-mite, at
tained a trial speed of one mile in 2)4
minutes, or 6ix miles in 17 minutes. If
she should get into our navy she would
soon become so jaded that she would not
be good for more than ten
or twelve miles an hour. Pleas
ure yachts seem to be in demand in
the Navy Department. Perhaps the idea
is to adopt a plan oi warfare analogous
to that of the Chinese—try to frighten the
enemy by a din of steam whistles and
f g horns blown on make-believe war
ships.

No Use to Sling Mud.
Botton Pott {Pern.).
Mr. Blaine’s rotten public record cannot be

private character of Gov. Cleveland with Re
publican filth.
Prohibitionists Not in the Market.
Botton Globe (Pern.). •
Mr. Blaine won’t send Commissioner Dud
lev to capture anv more Prohibition conven
tions. Because Neal Dow sold tbe whole Pro
hibition party of Maine for the Portland Col
ie torsliip is no sign that all Prohibitionists
are in the market.
Can’t Go on Forever.
Mew Tort Sun ( Ind.).
No party which is corrupt, and which stead
fastly nominates corrupt men for office, can
go (in forever. There roust be a change
finally. The defection from Blaine has been
sudden, hut the causes that led to it are found
in the long-continued domination of the Re
publican party by men who were proved or
known to be corrupt. And nothing previous
to the selection of Mr. Blaine as a can
didate has been of greater effect toward de
veloping the revolt we see now than the
nomination of James A. Garfield.
For the Georgia Republicans.
M&w York Timet {lnd. Rep.).
The Republican party of Georgia will never
be either influential or respectable until it
ceases to be managed from Washington as a
part of the machinery for turning out dele
gates to the order of an administration de
sirous of being its own successor. The re
moval of Gen. Longrstreet from the office of
United States Marshal for that State to en
able such a person as Col. John K. Bryant to
reap the reward of his success in sending a
solid Arthur delegation to Chicago is an act
well calculated to bring Republicanism into
disgrace in Georgia.

Few Englishmen two weeks ago had yet

During the recent heavy rainfall in Poland
and Galicia whole districts were completely

It is stated that the National Association of

of the great railroads of the country which, if
thus marked, could be easily restored to their

Avert interesting curiosity in a
show window in Pittsburg. It is a miniature
working model of the largest steam hammer
in the world—the Cruzot hammer in France.
The model i6 simply a clock, and the great

dred tons, in the other is a pendulum thst
moves noiselessly np and down. Not a single
detail in the great hammer is omitted in the
smaller one.
A Preston, Conn., man the other day came
near furnishing another instance of a “suicide
for which no cause can be assigned.” He had
been trying to discharge, in his cellar, the
cartridges from au old and long-neglected re
volver, but failed; and, leaving the hammer
at hall-cock, he peeped into the end ol tbe
barrel. That, of course, was the signal for
the weapon to speak, but luckily the man
just at that instant moved his hand and the
bullet whizzed harmlessly by his head. The
man is said to have felt the effects of the scare
for several hours after the incident.
A young lady was wheeling her married
sister’s twin babies along the street in Chi
cago, and a close observer could have noticed
her halt for a second, appear embarrassed,
while a crimson blush mounted her cheeks.
She saw, coming up the street, her old beau
whom she had not seeu for two years, as he
had been away. Of course, the fellow
naturally supi*osed his sweetheart had been
married during his absence, so he began grin
ning as he drew near, tipoed his hat and
passed on, congratulating himself on the fate
he had escaped. It is useless to attempt to
describe the feelings of the young lady.
The old custom of bottling tears is still con
tinued in Persia. It must be yery old, as it
is alluded to in the Psalms of David. As the
mourners are sitting around and weepiDg the
master of ceremonies presents each one with
a piece of cotton-wool, with which he wipes
off his tears. This cotton is afterwards
squeezed into a bottle, and the tears are pre
served as a powerful and efficacious remedy
for reviving a dying man after every means
have failed. It is also employed as a charm
against evil influences. The practice was
once universal, as is evidenced by the tear
bottles which are found in almost every an
cient tomb.
The story is told that while Gen. Sherman
was accompanying President Hayes on a visit
to New England be attended a reception in a
certain town, and a good old lady, who in her
ample-way was doing what she could to
make it pleasant for evervbody, ambled up to
him. and after a few formal commoaplare re
marks snddenlv asked in a most complacent
war: “Are you the General who was In the
armv during the war?” Old Tecumseh was
astounded and looked at tbe woman for a
moment, and, seeing that she was serene and
innocent of anv attempt at impertinence, re
sponded quietly: “Read history. Madam;
read history.”
Dr. Juste Touatre, in an interview with
the New Orleans Timet-Pemecrat. says: “The
therapeutical value of oxygen has been dur
ing the last twenty years thoroughly studied,
especially in France. The superb works of
Demarquav. Limouun. Laugicr. Paul Bert,
Constantin Paul, and especially Hayem, nave
demonstrated the remarkable efficacy of this
gas in tbe treatment of a large number of
maladies. The magnificent studies of Hayem
on blood and anaemia have brought to light
the real value of inhalation of oxvgen gas.
The reconstituting virtues of this gas are sur
prising. The number of blood globules in
creases considerably, recuperating appetite
returns, strength increase and the action of
fattening proceeds."
Somebody of a mathematical turn, with
nothing better to do, has made the following
computation, which is curious, if not essenti
ally correct. He says that a German mile —
about five English miles—eoutains 25,856 feet;
a square German mile contains, therefore,
668. 500,000 square feet. Tbe superficial area
of the Lake of Constance, being s )4 German
square miles, therefore contains S.WChOOO.IOO
square feet. There are living on the surface
of the globe at this moment, in round num
bers. ul>ut 1.430,000,W0 human beings. Ig?t
everv man have four square feet allotted to
him," and if tin* lake were frozen over the
whole human family might find standing
room upon its surface. Should the weight
prove too great, the ice break and the whole
human race be submerged, it would only raise
the level of the lake about six inches.

EDITORS ON A JAUNT.
From Georgia to Baltimore—An Amus
ing Incident.
Fifty-two Georgia editors and thirty
Georgia ladies, says the Baltimore Ameri
can of July 26, descended from the plat
forms of special Pullman cars at the
Western Maryland station yesterday
afternoon. They had been on the road
for nearly forty hours, and had traveled
over 800 miles. .
It was not known to a genial editor of
an esteemed contemporary that seven
members of the party are preachers. No
one would ever suspect them of minis
terial dispositions, for they are as bright
and witty and full of bon homme as the
regular everyday newspaper man who is
employed in putting good things into the
columns of the Georgia papers. Now,
there is among all journalists a brother-
hood that is seldom brooked by ordinary
formality, and when about dusk yesterday
evening' a tall gentleman, wearing
a Georgia editorial badge, strolled
along Baltimore street, the Balti
more editor in question introduced
himself and joined the Geor
gian in his promenade. The two walked
along the street together, chatting
pleasantly, until the Baltimore man said,
“Come this way,” at the same time guid
ing the visitor through two swinging
doors. In a minute they were standing
betore a long counter, behind which were
large mirrors and bottles, and two obse
quious young men in white aprons.
“What will you have?” asked the Bal
timore editor.
A look came over the Georgian’s face
like that over the countenance of Hamlet
when “the ghost of murdered Denmark”
walked from behind the forest trees.
“Really, sir, you have made a mistake.
I—l—do not drink. You are mistaken. I
am the Rev. Mr. Blank,” and without
more ado the minister bolted for the door,
followed by the Baltimore editor, and
leaving the two Young men in white
aprons petrified with astonishment. Ex
planations ensued, and shortly afterwards
tne two editors bowed to each other in a
drug store over two glasses of innocent
Apoliinaris,
BLAINE’S BURST BUBBLE.
Hi* Gigantic Company to Control the
Hocking Valley Mine* and CruH tha
Workingmen, which Failed to be Suc
cessful.
Blaine’s connection with the monopo
lists, says the New York .Vet es, is very
well known. He has been a stockholder
In many schemes in companies, some of
which did not prove as profitable as he
had reason to expect. One of the largest
schemes in which he has recently been in
terested was the Standard Coal and Iron
Company of New York and Columbus, 0.,
which was organized with a view of con
trolling the entire coal and iron produc
tion of the Hocking valley, to crush out
all tbe small furnaces and manu
facturers, and place the miners' and
workingmen tinder the dictation of
a gigantic monopoly, which would
make the rate of wages at whatever fig
ure it pleased them and the laborers
would have no remedy, as a strike could
scarcely t>e successful against such
power. Among the l>ig men in the con
cern either as directors or stockholders
are Janies (1. Blaine, Kugene Hale, Sena
tor ot Maine; Gen. James A. Hall, an
other prominent Maine man; Stephen B.
Elkins, now Blaine’s campaign manager;
(Bloine and Elkins wore reported as push
ing the enterprise and to lie working in
the interest ot some Oliver
Ames, of Boston; Gov. Charles Foster, of
Ohio; Gen. Samuel Thomas, of Columbus,
0., President of the East Tennessee and
Georgia Railroad; Walter P. Warren,
stove manufacturer of Troy, and others.
The company was incorporated about
two yeat 8 ago with an authorized capital
of $25,000,000. Gen. Thomas was made’
President; W. D. Lee, of Newark, 0., the
?rime mover in the scheme, was Vice
’resident and General Manager; First
Vice President and Treasurer, Oliver
Ames, of Boston; Second Vice President
and Secretary. J. Henry Brooks, of
Boston; Third Vice President and As
sistant Treasurer and Secretary, George
Chapman, of New York. The New York
office was located in the United Bank
building.
The company went in for doing things
on a big scale, and the men interested had
the experience of the Credit Mobilier
manipulators to guide them. Thirty thou
sand acres of land in the Hocking valley
were purchased, and $2,000,000 expended
in opening up and equipping a small part
of the property. The company secured
deeds for the land of the Hocking Iron
Company, Buchell Iron Conn any at Fleet
wood, Moxahala at Corning, Double X at
Shawnee, and others, and also obtained
options on the Akron furnaces and many
others. •
The scheme was so large that a great
deal of money was necessary to carry it
out successfully. At first, money was
easi y obtained, and the shares placed
among 1,800 stockholders, and everything
went on smoothly for awhile. Then came
the crash in the iron market, which put a
different aspect on this scheme of mo
nopoly.
The price of Iron was too low to work
the mines profitably, and as iron was the
principal product, there was no use con
tinuing. The company finally collapsed
last December, and a general assignment
was made to Horace C. Stanwood. The
New York men in the concern claimed it
had been mismanaged, and undertook to
reorganize it. D. N. Stanton, of this city,
and others, who had loaned the company
money, saw no wav of getting it back ex
cept by a reorganization. They proposed
to foim anew company out of the ruins
of the old one, and D. W. Stanton, John
F. Mason and George (J. Chapman were
chosen trustees of the new com
pany, which was named the Ohio
and Western Coal and Iron Com
pany. The capital stock was fixed at this
time at only $5,000,000, one-lifth the
amount of the old company, with bonds
for $3,000,000. The plan was for the cred
itors to take bonds in the new company
for the amount of their claims at par, and
many of them, it was said, did so. The
new company was incorporated in this
city, Messrs." Stanton, Mason and Chap
man being the incorporators and trus
tees; but active operations were delayed.
The new company has not yet got into
working order. The stock of the old
company was wiped out, and neither
Blaine, Senator Hale, nor Oliver Ames
was given stock in the new company.
THE THIRD GEORGIA WONDER.
A Woman who Claims to Knock Out
Strong Men by a Touch.
Mew York Timet of Sunday.
It is a lamentable circumstance, but
unfortunately a fact, that New York is
doomed to be without a Georgia wonder
for two long, dreary weeks. Scarcely had
Lulu Hurst faded from the rapt Metro
politan vision, when there came rumors
of another phenomenon in the person of
Miss Price, aitat 15 years, likewise of
Georgia, who was alleged to twist up
hickory sticks in her gentle fingers. But
Miss Price was weighed in the balance at
the Bijou Theatre one week ago and
found wanting. Public sentiment, how
ever, demanded another phenomenon, and
the clamors of the public for a Georgia
wonder became so great that Charles
Frohman dispatched his agents to scour
that State, with orders not to return or
draw for money until their quest was ac
complished.
Vox Frohman vox populi. His myrmi
dons spread over Georgia and ransacked
the State from north to 60Uth and from
east to west, and a few days ago a dis
patch was received stating that Mrs.
Charles Freeman, of Atlanta, Ga., had
been engaged to fill the iong-felt want in
the breast of anxious New York, and was
en route for the metropolis. She arrived
yesterday with her husband, and they
took apartments at the Hotel Royal.
There a reporter of the Times found a
pleasant-faced, blue-eyed young woman
of 30 years, whose countenance bore the
marks of recent illness. By her side was
a crutch, and one foot was thrust into her
husband’s slipper.
“Ah,” she said with a slight foreign
accent, “I have been unfortunate. In de
scending from the railroad train in Wash
ington on my way here I sprained my
ankle severely, arid my doctor tells me
that I cannot hope to leave my room or
to use my foot for perhaps two weeks. It
is very vexatious, for I had hoped to ap
pear at Wallack’s on Monday.
“No, I have not given a public exhi
bition anywhere before. I have only
shown my remarkable power to my friends
in private, and my debut at Wallaek’s
will be my first appearance on any stage.
What is the nature of the force? Ah,
there you have me at a loss. Ido not
know myself. I first began to realize
that I possessed peculiar powers when I
was a child of 9or 10 years. My father’s
family was composed of five boys and six
girls besides myself, and when I played
with my brothers and sisters I fourid that
if 1 simply touched them they were
thrown to the ground. This became
so common that I was frequently
punished for it, although I protested
that I (lid not mean to be rude.
It was the same way at school, and
after a time the other scholars refused to
play with me, because 1 unwittingly hurt
them at our childish games, and I was al
most debarred from any association with
other children because of this remarkable
power that I could not control. When
my child was born, seven years ago, I
could not handle it or bathe it, because
my touch seemed to hurt it. My doctor
could not explain why this was so, and
he brought in other physicians to witness
the operation of the strange force. It
was a source of great annoyance and
anxiety to me, as you may well imagine,
not to be able to handle mrown child.
“I never thought o|®kbibiting this
power until Lulu to give
pertormanees at the Operff House in At
lanta, and one evening while 1 was dis
cussing her with my husband and some
friends I said that l believed 1 could do
all she did myself. My husband got a
broom to try the experiment with, and 1
found that mv power was even superior
to hers. She only moves the stick which
a man holds, but when I touch a cane
•held by a man, it at once flies from his
hands. have only failed to effect this
once, and that was when the cane
was held by Mr. H. I. Kimball,
a leading citizen of Atlanta. Well, so
soon as my power began to be known
scores of people came to see me, and I
was asked again and again to give public
exhibitions, but 1 always refused until I
received Mr. Frohman’s offer. Physicians
from all over Georgia have witnessed my
performances, and the mysterious power
1 possess has been attributed to magnet
ism, electricity, spiritualism, and a hun
dred other things, but what it really is I
am in utter ignorance of myself.”
Mrs. Freeman was born in France, near
Toulon. Her father was Narci9se Beige
ron, who came to this country when she
was a mere child. She has been married
12 years, and has one son.
Coming 3,000 Miles for a Husband.
There are some interesting and rather
romantic circumstances connected with
the wedding ot Mr. William E. Daniels,
of Michigan, and Miss Minnie Roberts, of
England, which was solemnized at the
residence of Alexander Weed, in Stam
ford, Conn., on Monday last by the Rev.
W. D. Thompson, says the New York
World. Mr. Daniels is superintendent of
a copper mine in Michigan, and while
traveling abroad met Miss Roberts in
England, fell in love with her
and they became engaged. He could not
spare time to go to England for his bride,
and she consented to come to America
alone. She reached New York in the City
of Berlin on Sunday last. Her affianced
met her at the pier, and they went at once
to Mr. Weed’s residence. Soon after
reaching there Rev. Mr. Thompson, who
lives at New Rochelle, came to Stamford
to see a sick child and called upon Mr.
Weed. Mr. Daniels proposed an imme
diate marriage, but the bride-elect would
not consent to a Sunday wedding, and the
ceremony was deferred until the next
morning. Mr. and Mrs. Daniels at once
left on a wedding tour.
