True to Principle.
Augusta Chronicle.
We heard of a prohibitionist la¬
dy who would not drink even wa¬
ter out of a bar-room tumbler. We
knew another who would not eat at
a restaurant that also had a bar. We
knew a boy who not only would
not eat regulation mince pies, but
declined to get the liquor for his
mother to mix in them. Now
comes Mrs. Richard White, of
Philadelphia, who is visiting Bal¬
timore as president of the Ladies’
Branch of the S. P. C. A. Mrs.
White will be entertained by prom¬
inent people, but as the Evening
News says, care will lie exercised
to exclude from the menu any dish
which lias involved cruelty to the
smallest of the animal creation in
its preparation. In her address to
the ladies Mrs. White will make
an appeal to them to discard the
use of things which occasion cru¬
elty to animals and birds, such as
aigrettes in hats. The old bird lias
to be killed to secure these feath¬
ers when the plumage is at its best,
and this before the young ones are
able to feed themselves. Hence
they die or starvation. By reason
of this destruction of the economy
of nature in Florida, the home of
the heron, the snakes are over¬
running the land and becoming a
serious menance to the population.
Mrs. White will also condemn the
eating of terrapin, since the prop¬
er preparation of this di licacy de¬
mands that the terrapin be boiled
alive. Crabs may also be incliid
ed.
Mrs. White is true to her princi¬
ples, but, except in bird-killing for
fashionable attire, she goes to rad¬
ical extremes. A German profes¬
sor in Baltimore came to the con¬
clusion that animal food, involv¬
ing so much slaughter, was not
proper for him, and he abandoned
1 «■ .5 0 « V HUl
•*
his experiment was the best pos¬
sible for supreme health. After a
long and fair trial he returned to
his old habits, convinced that an
exclusive vegetable diet was a mis¬
take. Still, if anybody, like Mrs.
White, should insist on denying
herself some of the choice dishes
of Baltimore, she is not to be cen¬
sured. As first class terrapins
have gr ne up to about ‘.'So per doz¬
en, and as times are hard compari
tively, even for quality, there need
be no lamenting that Mrs. White
is hostile to the Chesapeake- reptile
ill a pot or chafing dish.
Some day, perhaps we will heai
of folks who cannot eat summer
truck because of the destruction of
insects on the plants, or because of
the destruction of the plants them¬
selves.
A terrapin or crab, about to be
plunged into boiling water, might
say, if gifted with s) eech, more
accurately than Major Andre did,
when about to die on the scaffold ;
(4 y Tis but a momentary pang !’’
The Clerk Paid It
During Andrew Jackson’s ] resi¬
dency a certain clerk in the treasu¬
ry department showed a marked |
disinclination to paying his board
bill.
He had signed notes, but his
.andlady could collect no money j
irom him. in dispair she went to
see the president. She told him 1
i:e r story, and he requested her to
} <2e : i he eh rUs note for the account, j
She did so, and carried the note j
to Andrew Jackson, who after i
glancing over it, affixed his own
signature to the back of it.
“ Now, madam,’ ■ t i ie p re si- !
dent, 4 4 put that in the bank, and
we shall see which of us shall have
to pay you the money.”
The note was duly deposited in
the bank, and was promptly paid
by the clerk, w ho afterward apolo¬
gized to the president, and prom¬
ised to do Iletter.

“What was the case that made

was a well known detective's re¬
sponse to the query of a Washing¬

putation, but I will give it to you

“A gang of horse thieves were
working southern Indiana, and I
was employed to lerret them out.
1 aking two assistants, I started on
the trail and finally succeeded in
locating them in Brown county,
which is, I believe, the only one
in the state without a railroad.
“ \V’e knew that the horse thieves
had their headquarters somewhere
between Columbus and Nashville,
the latter being the county seat of
Brown county, and with my meul
scoured the country without suc¬
cess until nightfall, when we took
refuge in a cabin, the family being
absent, and we expected to explain
our. presence when the occupants re
turned. 4
I I In about an hour four men rode
up, evidently much excited, the
leader accosting me with: ‘We are

and gave them no direct

could remain with us the
day.
“I awoke early in the morning,
having occupied the lower room
with my tnen, while the strangers
had retired in the loft. 1 went to
the log stable to see after our three
horses, and they were gone. Then
I returned to the house and no
trace could be found for some time
of the strangers. Finally a rudely
written note was discovered pin¬
ned to the door, saying that we
were welcome to remain in the
house until the following day,
when a stage would take us to Co¬
lumbus; that they had moved and
would not use the cabin any longer.
That was the last trace I ever got
of the theives or horses."
Diversified Farming.
There was a time, just after the
war, when more money could le
made in planting cotton than itiany
other farm product, There had
been tour years in which no cotton
was raised, and the world’s supply
was almost totally exhausted. Cot¬
ton that was raised just after this
period sold for such high prices
that farmers were led away from
the old ante-bellum custom of di¬
versifying their farms and living
at home.
The extremely low price of cotton
at the present time show's that sta¬
pie must be made a surplus crop if
farmers expect to make their farms
P a >’
Raising all cotton and Inlying ail
°f the farm supplies from the north
and west have contributed a large
share to the ills from which the ag
ricultural classes complain.
Without going into any lengthy
argument on the subject, we be¬
lieve that the possibilities of farm
ers in this section are brighter than
are those of the people of any other
class. If the farmers are made
self-sustaining, and cotton is raised
only as a surplus crop, the inde
pendence and happiness of these
men will be assured in such nieas
ure as we have not dreamed of be

How Aimee Dropped $2. 000
When Aimee was at the bight of
her fame, playing to enormous
houses in South America, says tlie
New \ ork Press, she fa ;ei- ated a
Brazilian planter, whose acres of
virgin forests were as broad as the
state of New York, lie saw her
in Rio, and was smitten hip and
thigh. He felt that he o a tied the
theater in which .-.he exhibited her
agility, and hung around tier for
days, seeking to bestow upon her
the entire wealth of his ardent af¬
fection. She hesitated to throw
bouquets, because he was old and
tee hie. Aimee always liked fresh
young men. In a fashionable jew¬
elry shop in Rio was a necklace
priced at ; 10,000. The file! planter
tried to buv it for $7,000 to give to
his inauioretta, but the dealers
were firm in refusing to let it go at
such a price. They demanded the
1 10,000. He finally offered' 8,000,
which also being refused, he went
away. Aimee, in some way, heard
that iie wanted togive her the neck¬
lace and paused at the price, where
upon, with that French cleverness
for which she is famed, she hast¬
ened privately to the shop and de¬
posited X 2,000, with instructions
to let the old fellow have the neck¬
lace for 8,000 should he call again.
When the smitten old fool arrived
the third time and offered 8,ooo
ne was surprised with the state
meut that he might have the neck
lace for that sum inasmuch as he
had always been a good customer.
At his hotel he exhibited it to
some friends, to whom he told his
secret love for Aimee. These like
true friends, made him drunk and
got him out of town that night,
necklace and all, leaving Aimee in
the cold, min as her $2,000. She
tried in vain, by persuasion and
threat, to force the jewelers to re¬
turn the sum o l mon ey, and fioal
tress that was pitiful, She didn’t
mind the loss of the $2,000, but
could not bear the thought of be¬
ing “sold.”
Must Have Seen Washington
William Dollar, who was born
during Washington’s administra¬
tion, died a few days ago at the
home ot iiis son, W. H. Dollar,
near Woodward's mill, five miles
from Buford.
Mr. Dollar was 107 years, .one
month and four days old.
He realizeel that he had lived out
his days of usefulness, and ex¬
pressed a willingness to die.
For many years he was a mem
ber of the Baptist church, and
those who knew him say he was a
good man. One of the chief char
acteristics of the man was content
ment, which perhaps in a large
measure accounts for his long life.

Who Were Wives of Revolu¬
tionary Soldiers.
SERVED UNDER WASHINGTON.
Receiving Pensions for Services lien
(lereil by Their Husbands
120 Years Ago.
Seven women are still drawing
pensions as the widows of men who
saw active service in the war ot the
Revolution—women whose hus¬
bands served under Washington
more than a hundred and twenty
years ago.
The eldest of these surviving
widows of th. Revolution is living
at Eos Angeles, California. She is
Mrs. Lovey Aldrich, now in the
ninety-eighth year of her age.—
Her husband was Private Caleb Al
dricli, who was born in the year
1763, and served as a soldier boy in
the New England campaigns ol
the war.
Mrs. Nancy Jones, of Jonesboro,
Tennessee, whose husband was
Darling Jones, a private in one of
the North Carolina regiments, is
the youngest of the Revolutionary
widows, being now about eighty- I
three years of age.
The other five are Nancy Cloud,
who is living at Chum, Virginia,
and is the widow of Sergeant Wil
liam Cloud, of Captain Christian’s
Virginia line ; Esther S. Damon,
of Plymouth Union, Vt., whose
husband was Private Noah Damon,
of Massachusetts ; Mary Snead,
living at Parksley, Virginia, wid¬
ow of Private Bowdoin Snead ;
Nancy A. Weatherman, who lives
at Elk Mills, Tennessee, and whose
first husband was Robert Glascock,
a filer in one of the Virginia regi¬
ments ; and Rebecca Mayo, living
at Newbern, Virginia, widow ot
Stephen Mayo, a soldier from Vir
That these women can be the
widows of Revolutionary soldiers
is readily understood in view of the
fact that their Husbands were well
on in years when they were mar¬
ried. As, for example, when Es¬
ther Summer married Noah Damon,
in-the year 1835, fifty-two years af¬
ter the close of the war, she was
but twenty-one, while lie was 76.
The last Revolutionary widow
pensioner who had married prior to
the close of the war, and had
therefore actually lived during the
Revolutionary times, was Nancy
Serena, widow of Daniel F Bake
man. She died about twenty-three
years ago, only a year or two after
her husband, who was the last of
the Revlutionary soldiers on the
pension roll.
