In an article headed “Unpardonable

i n tar misplace their sentiment, or ■« quest
of notoriety acquire it in such away, is a
matter that makes the high-strung pa
triotic women blush for the ,lack of wo
manliness in certain individual of her sex.
The net was uncalled for. silly and savored
of Dial same sentimentality that prompts
women to pay tribute to murderers behind

Dooly s right to have her opinion, but
neither liould she question the right of
ladies to govern their own conduct. Some

Dooly does not express herself with that
degree of r< tim tnenl that is usually con

victor can afford to be generous," and that
the Spaniards now at Fort AltTrehson are

people whose language they know not,
beset with anxiety about their loved cues

lief to .Miss Dooly's outraged patriotism
to know that this did not happen. No
“silly- f. male" thrust roses at the feet of
a Spanish "Don." One or two ladies,
whose escorts wire with them, gave a few
sweet peas to the gentlemen who are our
prisoners. I do not agree with Miss Dooly
in regarding a prisoner of war as neces
sarily a criminal. Sympathy- for those in
distress is -o natural to femininity, that
many- others hi ides "silly females" must
plead guilty to the soft impeachnii nt. The
motive that prompted the gifts of flowers

INJIG CASE
The Case Was Not on the
Docket and Judge Asked
the Reason Whv.
_•
’ RULE OF THE COURT
Has Not Been Complied With—But
Counsel Says It Will be Paid
at Once,
Cases were set and the docket called in
the United States court this morning.
Wnile this was going on it was found
that ike case of the Dunlap Hardware Co.
agaiast the Southern Railway hid not
been set.
As a result of this a somewhat interest
ing colloquy took place.
Judge Speer: There is a case of some
importance which I do not discover on this
docket. The case <A Dunlap and others
against the Southern Railw-ay. The clerk
told me a moment ago somewhat informal
ly that no deposits of costs had been made
in that case and that therefore he did not
put it on the docket.
Mr. L. M. Ergin, (Deputy Clerk): A de
mand was made for the court costs some
time after the bill was filed, several
months ago, nearly a year, but the costs
have never been deposited.
Judge Speer: What is the rule under
which you decline to docket a case unless
,i deposit for costs is made.
Mr. L. M. -Erwin; [Rule of court. Under
rule of court 'the clerk is not required to
perform any service at all in a case until
the party makes a deposit.
Air. Dessau: il did not know- o>f that. The
finances have been cotrolled by other
counsel. I had not been aware of any ir
regularity which had occurred. I will call
the other counsel’s attention to it, please
your honor, and have the rule of court
complied with.
Judge Speer: 'Well, it is a case of great
consequence. We ought to proceed with
due observance of all these formalities.
Os course it is a mere formality but the
clerk insists upon it. He has no vital in
terest in the question of cost.
Air. Dessau: I was very much surprised
to know that the statement made by the
clerk was correct. 1 had never heard of it.
The matter has not come to my attention.
I suppose there is good reason why it has
not been paid. I suppose it has not -been
turned into the gentlemen who control
that feature of the ease.
Jude Speer: The rule of court is the 92d
rule: “The clerk shall not 'be required to
docket any cause, except where the United
States is a party, until a deposit of an
amount to be fixed by the clerk, not ex
ceeding $7.0, shall be made with him by the
plaintiff as a payment of the clerk’s and
marshal’s costs, which may be incurred by
said plaintiff in the progress of the cause.”
■Mr. Dessau: 1 ask that your honor will
not make any order today in that regard.
I will call other counsel’s attention to H.
Judge Miller and Mr. Ellis are both en
gaged in the superior court.
Judge Speer: I do not understand that
the clerk and marshal make any applica
tion for an order for the deposit of costs
■Mr. L. M. 'Erwin: The case has been filed
in court. 1 think, but never docketed.
Judge Speer: I would like to have it
docke'i’d as soon as the rule is complied
with so that it can be disposed of.
Mr. Dessau: I did not know anything
about the non payment of costs or non
docketing of the case. We will have that
mater - arranged promptly.
The criminal docket will be called in
the Unicd States court next week.
South Macon Dots
Sergeant John C. Ellis, of the Macon
Guards, First regiment of Georgia Volun
teers, came flown from Griffin yesterday
on a forty-eight hour furlough; ostensibly
to visit his parents anTl relatives, who re
side in South 'Macon, as well as to look af
ter special business of impoi c 1.1 c? to him
self and and a beautiful young lady who
resides in the Rutland district. On this
special business hangs a tale, which when
told will disclose another romanti’ mar
riage among the gallant volunters who
recently left Macon and the vicinity and
show to the world at large and the bal
ance of mankind generally that South Ma
con boys never get left under any’ circum
stances.
For two or more years Mr. Ellis has
been visiting Miss Genie Tinsley, the beau
tiful daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Joshua
Tinsley, of the Rutland district, with a
view to matromony.
They had become engaged and the time
set for their marriage during next fall or
winter sometime.
Mr. Ellis being ordered to camps with
his company on or about the sth instant,
comnmnii ate-d with Miss Geni?, who came
to the city at once. On the 7th instant at
night they’ went to the South Macon Meth
odist parsonage and were made -man and
wife by the Rev. T. I. Nease, pastor of the
church.
The family’ of neither party had any ob
jection to the marriage. The couple kept
it a secret, however, simply for the fun of
the thing,
Mr. Ellis informed his parents yesterday
evening as soon as he arrived in South
Macon. He then proceeded to the Rutland
district, where his fair bride awaited him.
They explained matters to the old folks
at home and received their blessings.
Sergeant Ellis left fo.r Camp Northen
this morning. Mrs. Ellis will remain with
her parents until this cruel war is over
and her soldier husband returns to claim
het.
The funeral services of Mrs. A. J. Jar
rett took place at her late residence, 155

Inadequate Identification.
A woman who is newly come to town
went into one of the banks one day last
week to have a check cashed. The pay
ing teller examined the check with that
air of tsuspicion a paying teller never
loses.
“You’ll have to be identified, mad
am,’’ he said politely,
The woman was in a great hnrry.
“Identified!” she said. “Why, I
haven’t time to go and get anybody to
identify me! Besides, 1 don’t know
three pieople in town.”
“I’m sorry,” said the. teller, “but
the rule is invariable ”
“But,” protested the woman, “I
really am the Mary L. Brown named
on the check. You dou t doubt that, do
you?”
The teller looked embarrassed.
“It’s only a form, madam,” he said,
“but we must in.si.--c on some identifica
tion. ’ ’
A happy thought struck the woman.
Her name was on her handkerchief.
“Would the name on my handker
chief be any irk ntil:- ation?” she asked
The teller replied that it would.
“Well, then,” said she majestically,
handing over the square of linen, “per
haps you’ll be good enough to give me
the money now!’’
The teller examined the handkerchief
and handed it back without a word. In
one corner was daintily written in in
delible ink, “Sarah Jones.”
The check was not cashed till next
day, and the newly arrived woman has
discharged her laundress. Washington

SWORD 2,000 YEARS OLD.
Presented by the Czar of Russia to Pres
ident Johnson.
I. P. Farmer, the county surveyor of
Columbiana county, 0., who resides at
Lisbon, lias in his passe-si. .n one of the
rarest historical specimens in existence.
It is an old Damascus blade which, it is
claimed, is over 2,000 years olil. It is of
crude design and workmanship ami was
made entirely by hand, the irregu arity of
Its lines proving morn conclusiv siy than
any tiling else its ant' r ity.
Shortly after the .-isination of Presi
dent Lincoln an unsuccessful attempt was
made upon the life e.f the czar of Russia.
A fleet of American warships was sent on
a cruise across the ocean and incidentally
carried a message of congratulation to
Russia’s ruler from Presillent Johnsor.
Assistant Secretary of the Navy Fox ac
companied the squadron on board the
Miuntonomoh. commanded by John J.
Cornwell of Lisbon, O. Secretary Fox was
presented with the sword by the czar in
person, as a token of his high esteem, ac
companied by the following speech:
“I present to you, sir, as the represent
ativoof one of the foicmostand mightiest
of modern nations, this saber, as a ma
terial appreciation of your nation’s high
regard for my welfare and safety. Through
ages it has been treasured in the archives
of my fathers as a semblance of the mighty
races that swayed the destinies of future
generations on the shores of the Mediter
ranean; it was carried through scenes of
carnage which marked the upbuilding of
the powerful sovereignty of western Asia
and has outlive?! the kingdoms it helped
build. “
The ancient treasure was accepted by
the secretary, with an appropriate re
sponse, and as the fleet steamed out of the
Russian port he presented the sword to
Commander Cornwell
While the fleet was off Toulon, France,
Commander Cornwell died suddenly of
heart failure. The vessels pulled in at the
port and a telegram was sent to Paris for
a burial casket. A squad of marines under
command of a lieutenant was sent on
shore to receive the casket from the train
and convey it aboard the dead command
er’s vessel. The casket missed connections,
but the sailors, who were unaware of the
fact, hustled a casket which arrived on
the train off to the ironclad. The fact that
the box was quite heavy did not excite the
suspicion of the sailors and after it had
been taken to the cabiu the mate opened
the cover. Consternation reigned on board
when there was disclosed the body of a
beautiful young lady, buried in a wealth
of flowers.
The lid of the casket was hurriedly re
stored to its place, am! preparations were
promptly made to return the body to the
depot in Toulon. But the story of the al
leged seizure had spread, creating intense
excitement in the French port, and a city
official was preparing to board the Ameri
can warship with a search warrant. Ex
planations were made, hut the mistake
came near causing an international dis
ruption.
The French newspapers charnctcrized
the actions of the American sailors in the
most scathing terms, assuming that the
taking of the body of the young lady was
a prearranged plan.
Commander Cornwell was buried at
Toulon, .»nd the old sword was given into
his widow’s keeping, and she in turn pre
sented it to her brother-in -law, Mr. Farm
er.
The blade is 22% inches long and 1 inch
wide, tapering to a point. The hilt is made
of horn, ornamented with twisted brass
wire, and is as hard as adamant. The
crosspieces are of leather, tipped with sheet
brass. The scabbard is as interesting as
the blade, being fashioned from wood,
w ith a sheet luass covering. It was orna
mented in crude style by indents of a
pointed tool. Near the Lilt, on the blade,
are a number of odd characters resembling
ancient Hebrew iascriptiims.—Philadel

a northern New York town The company
was playing ‘.Julius Ca sar, ’ and at the
last moment it was found that the prop
erty man had failed to send up the regular
throne chair used in the senate scene, ind
an old rustic chair, was hastily procured
from the loft of the theater, and after be
ing covered with draping was pressed into
service. In the midst of the scene a large
wasps’ nest was discovered attached to the
chair, and its inhabitants, becoming in
dignant at the disturbance they had suf
fered, began to swarm about the stage
seeking revenge upon the Romans in their
low necked and short sleeved dresses. The
wasps seemed to be particularly offended
with Caesar, and it is doubtful if Ctesar’s
death scene was ever acted with more feel
ing, for at the moment he was being
pierced by the conspirators’ daggers the
wasps were most industrious in their
work.
“In the tent scene, where Ca sar appears
to Brutus, one might almost have doubted
its being the true Casar. It was the same

Cassius an enlarged chin, Lucius an in

through Caribou and Cassiar. noted for
their gold beds many years apo, all take
their rise on the outskirts of this vast ter
| ritory, would indicate ilie presence of min
i er;;l wealth in the unknown field.
This supposition is supported by more
' than men: ptoltalulify Since 1885 Indians
! and half breeds have vaguely talked of
I gold “up in the interior’’ and taciturn
Chinamen in ragged clothes have come
down to the coast with bags containing
large and small quantities of the precious
metal As the industrious celestial has
been washing gold in old placer beds for
years, earning a pittance w hich the white
man would not consider worth hi§ labor,
the appearance of these uncommunicative,
mysterious fellows at Pacific ports excited
little interest until Klondike discoveries
aroused every one Then prospectors be
gan to suspect the existence of new gold
fields south of the Yukon and last summer
minors, ventured along the margin of the
unknown region.
I Two men who had been washing gold
along streams of this outlying district
brought out §48,000 worth of the yellow
dust. During the summer one prospector
found a nugget worth §7O, ami in Octoboi
a Large nugget worth §3OO was sent from
the southern part of the territory. With
the past few weeks the discovery of exten
sive bodies of fine milling gold quartz was
reported to the British Columbia minister
of mines by prospectors who left last sum
mer to explore the southern outskirts
Winter had prevented more thorough ex
ploration, but the veins were said to be of
extraordinary width and were exposed for
miles across the country. Samples of
quartz, rich in gold, accompanied the re
port, but so wild and inaccessible is the
I region that these deposits cannot be worked
until the Tcslin Lake-Telegraph Creek rail
way or the Cassiar Central has been built.
The unopened territory is variously des
ignated by the names of its different sec
tions, as the. Omineca, the Peace river, the
| Liard country. Roughly speaking, it is
bounded on the east, by the Rocky moun
tains, on the west by tjie Yukon and the
Pacific slope and on the south by Caribou.
The nearest point on the Canadian Pacific
railroad is almost GOO miles from its south
ern limits, but the Omineca can be reached
byway of the coast, going up the Skrena
river and following a fairly clear trail U»r
150 miles.
Discovery of gold in Omineca caused a
great rush northward from Caribou and
the coast in 1870, but without modern hy
draulic appliances the gravel was difficult
to work. Wi.cn rich diggings were found
in Cassiar, the crowds stampeded to the
newer field. During the eight years that
followed at least §I,OOO, boo in gold was
taken from Omineca by miners satisfied
with modi rate ret urns. The general im
pression that the diggings on the southern
outskirts were shallow discouraged explo
ration until last fall, and then, when the
discoveries were announce; 1 ,, the season
had advanced too far for prospecting.
For hundreds of miles north of Omineca
is a vast expanse absolutely unknown to
the white man It lies between Peace riv
er and the Yukon. A party under Lord
Avonmore is spending the winter in the
Liard country in order to be on hand for
thorough exploration of that section of the
terra incognita when the season opens.
Between the Peace and Liard rivers, the
climate is not so rigorous and forbidding
as in the Yukon The country is densely
wooded. There is a superabundance of
timber for fuel and for building purposes.
Game, large and small, is plentiful For
naturalist, sportsman and prospector no
part of the u'nxeplored world offers more
attractive prizes. New York Sun.
