AGED ONE HUN DEED. Tho Centennial Anniversary of the Birth of Mrs. Fanny Hill. A dispatch from Elizabethtown, Ky., to the Louisville Courier-Journal says: Never in the history of religious or social events in this part of tho State was there such a concourse of jicople as assembled to-day at Blue Ball church, twelve miles west of this place, to participate in tho celebration of the centennial birthday of Mrs. Fanny Hill. Hardin, Meade and Breckinridge counties were represented in the throng of over 2,000, and of the number it was estimated that fully one-third were related, either by blood or marriage, with Mrs. Hill, and as it was an old-age event, the number of old people present was greater than was ever seen there before. Mrs. Hill was accompanied by her husband, who is eleven mouths younger than herself, and both greatly enjoyed the celebration and the meeting of so ltiany re lations and friends. AT THE CHURCH. The aged couple were placed in a buggy it tho home of their son, John W. Hill, and then a grandson led the horse slowly to avoid jolting them in the ride to the church, ane mile away. They arrived on the grounds nt an early hour, and already a large number were on hand awaiting them, and in a short time they were surrounded by their posterity to the fifth generation. All three of their liv ing children were present, the oldest being TS, and the youngest being 60 years old, while tho grand, groat-grand, and great great-grandohihlreu were almost too numer ous to count. At the appointed hour, THE CKIiKMONIES OF THE DAY were opened with a song by the assembly anil a prayer by Kev. G. S. King, of Big Bpring, who read the Nineteenth Psalm, and ilien gave an interesting recital of the event ful lives of the aged couple from birth to tho end of a century. The discourse was re plete with interesting incidents and reminis cences, and was listened to with great atten tion. After the sermon and prayer by Brother James Jenkins tho audience joined earnestly in the singing of the doxology, which was followed by the benediction. Then followed A ROUND OF HANDSHAKING between tho old people, and hundreds who came to honor them, and then all repaired to a long rustic (aide and scores of family and neighborhood spreads, where they found awaiting them one of the most elaborate feasts ever spread in the State. The boun tiful repast was partaken of by the throng, and then there was left many a basket ful. The religious ceremonies were then re sumed. After a song and prayer, Rev. T. A. Robertson read the seventy-first Psalm, and taking his text from the ninth verse, preached a very eloquent sermon appropri ate to the day and occasion. The exercises were closed by the singing of the 307 gospel hymn, THE WAYWORN TRAVELER, in which the entire audience joined with great animation. Mr. and Mrs. Hill hold strongly to their Christian faith and spend much time in religious meditation. Mrs, Hill joined tho Baptist church in 1811 and Mr. Hill attached himself to the Cumberland Presbyterian church in 1828. Seven minis ters took part in the ceremonies—four Bap tists, two Methodist and one Presbyterian, and the event was the grandest that ever occurred at Blue Ball. HISTORY OF THE AGED PEOPLE. The spectacle of such an ag.vl couple sur rounded by such a numerous posterity cele brating the centennial birthday of one af ter the other has passed the ninety-ninth milepost is seldom witnessed, and is worthy of the wide-spread attention that has been given it. Mrs. Hill’s life, though long, has not, so far as your correspondent could learn, been very eventful. In reply to a re quest for some reminiscences of her life, she replied: “I don’t remember anything worth relat ing, except that the Lord lias been good to me all the time. He has blessed me with good children and a long life, and if I can be grateful to Him I will be satisfied.” Mrs. Hill was born at Culpepper Court House, Va., and besides being one of four teen children, she was one of triplets, and it is somewhat remarkable that every one of the fourteen, seven boys and seven girls, lived to be married and reared families and three of them lived to lie over 90. Her par ents, James anil Elizabeth Kelly Noll, emi grated to Nelson county in the early part of the present century and on Sept. 7, 1813. she married John N. Hill. Her parents noth died in the same week in March 1811, of a malady known as “cold plague,” and two slaves, husband and wife, died during tho same week. John N. anil Fanny HUI were theiiarents of ten children: James F.. who is 74 yearn old, resides on Rough Creek and looks as old as his father; Matilda Slack, who lives in Texas and was present at the Centennial, und John W., with whom the old folks live, and tho following who are dead: Mary E., Cyrus M., Martin, George W., and William L., and two who died in infancy. Of their jxwterity they can count to-ilay, besides tlioir two sous and one daughter, forty-one grandchildren, sixty seven great-grandchildren and tivo great great-grandchildren, making 118 in all liv ing. Mrs. Hill has ulwuys been noted for her piety, and has led a life of quiet medita tion. When asked about herself, she re plied: “You will have to get John to tell you; he always does the talking.” Both are very feeble and hard of hearing, but Mi’s. Hill can hear more distinctly anil is more active than her husband, though she is nearly eleven months the oldest. JOHN N. HILL was born on May 28, 1788, near a town named Washington, he thinks, about thirty Utiles from Pittsburg. Both of his inater ual grand parents were killed by the Indians during an assult on Forth Kinglcsmith, in Westmoreland county', Pa., and nt the sainu time an uncle was captured and carried away by the Indians and lent iu captivity Until he reuchoil manhood, lie visited his relatives and acquaintances, but preferred tho Indian habits nnil returned to the tribe and married a squaw. John N. Hills father, Frederic Hill, was a soldier in the Revolutionary army, and wu.s wounded at the battle of Brandy wine. He received a peusiou of $8 a month during his life. In 1789, the parents of John N. Hili moved to Kentucky and settled at Louis ville, whf-re they remained four years. Though hut a child, .Mr. Hill has an indis tinct recollection ot a fort uiiflsome log lints at Louisville, around which ho played. In 1703, his parents moved to Nelson county and settled four miles from Burdstown, at a place known as Fredericslmrg, where they engaged in milling and merchandising, the place being called in honor of Mr. Hill's father. After remaining there ten years, they movisl to Washington county, wlioro Frederic Hill erected a mill, and, In addit ion to fanning, enbarkod in the business of flathoat trading on the Mississippi river. Flour was the main staple of traffic, und it was boated out on Mill creek, Beech Fork, Rolling Fork und Salt rivers to tho Ohio river. The business did not provo profitable, however, owing to mismanagement on the port of men be employed, nml at tile ugo of JO John N. Hill took charge of the flathoat interests, and in four years lie netted the snug sum of 830,000. With this sum Fred eric und Ids two sons, John N. and I Usage, embarked in a general merchandising business, in which they lost, all they invest ed and were deeply' involved. John N. then rented the mill from his father’s creditors, and iu three years made enough money to buy 480 acres of land in Hardin county, to which ho movod in 1829, taking ha father with him. He subsequently added 250 acres t<> the tract, of which the farm of his son John W, is a jiart. He hail a fondness for the milling business and engaged in it again, and continued at it till far advanced in years. He says it was at his father’s mill, in >V asliiugton county, that the famous rock was found In one eiul of the bag ami the corn )" the other, the only modification of the tradition being that it wu& not a rock, but a blielc of wood, with the corners nicely rouuded. He says it was brought to tho mill by' a boy, and when his father left it out and divided the meal in the bog and throw it on the horse, the bov objected to leaving it, and said that his futher would be mad it he did not use it. The idea of the boy’s father seems to have been that it was safer to use the block in the tied end of the bag, so that if tho string should come untied or slip off the corn or meal would not be spilled. When adviuiocd uge rendered Mr. ILII unable to work, he divided among iiis children what he had not given them, and has since lived with his son, John W. Hill, one of Hardin county’s best citizens, NEVER GAMULED. Wlien but 20 years old Mr. Hill was at Natchez with a llatboat loaded with provis ions, and he says that he saw so much bet ting and dancing that he made up his mind never to bet or dance, and he has stuck to the resolution through life. While at Natchez in 1812 trying to sell his l<url, his boat was tied up at a place claimed by the sol diers of the garrison under Gen. Andrew Jackson, and they cut his boat loose and let it drift out in the river. He had carried some letters to the General and know him, and he hastened to him for protection. The General ran down to the river in a consider able rage and made his men go out and catch Hill's boat and bring it toshore and tie it up right whore it had been laying. Mr. Hili felt deeply grateful for this net of kind ness, and repaved it by voting for Gen. Jack son when he ran for President. This wus Mr. Hill’s first Presidential vote. During his long and active life Mr. Hill has never been a party to a law suit, has never been a witness before any' court, and never served as a grand juror. He has never been a eunditato for office, and once when his acquaintances undertook to have him elected a Justice of the Peace ho prevented them from doing so by saying that he would not serve if elected. He says, in early days, when his brother-in-law ran seven plows with his seven boys he thought that was pretty' brisk farming, but now when he sins two of his great-grandsons run eight plow s, and ride at that, the former feat does not seem so great. He remembers the days of the reap-hook, and says that when it was used farmers did not charge their neighbors for working iu the harvest-field. He says he remembers one year when his father had forty acres of wheat that forty neighbors dropped in on him and cut it in one day with reap-liooks. A WOMAN OF THE MINES. No Reason, She Says, Why Ladie3 Should Not Speculate in Ores. Mrs. Fannie A. Kerr, who made 3100,000 in mining operations in Colorado, is in New York. A reporter for the Mail and Express called on her at the Hotel Bart holdi yester day. Mrs. Kerr was elegantly attired in black silk, decorated with the latest Parisian duplex passementeries. Instead of finding a horny-handed and bronze-faced miner, tho mineress proved to be quite handsome, and entertaining in conversation. She is about 35 years old, has large, expressive black eyes, regular features aud dark com plexion. “Women,” she said, “are engaging in nearly all the occupations, and I do not see why they should not try mining.” “How did you come to invest in mining property?” “When 1 was a girl in Kentucky I was verv fond of reading about mines, find often wished that I could go West and see them. But my hopes and aspirations about seeing mines wore doomed to disapjiointment until seven years ago. Then I made investments that started ine in thoroughly and showed me stern realities different from the Utopian dreams I once had. It was about the time of the excitement at Leadville, and I was residing in Kansas City. Through friends I purchased interests in claims in Colorado, but received no returns on the investments until I went to Denver four years ago. I settled in Denver and went into the business generally. I bought and sold ami reinvested my money as fast as I received it. Some times I owned only part of a claim and got my share of the claim. One week I bought a claim on Battle Mountain and sold it out shortly afterwards at a profit of $3,000. A great many ladies in Colorado have interests in mines, but nearly all of these have hus bands or brothers to look after them. I studied up on mining and learned how to look after my own interests. By this time 1 have a prettv good knowledge of mining in general anil can not be misled verv easily. I confess I know little about stocks, and the only mining stock I have is 1,000 shares in a property I took for payment of an ac count.” “Did you go down into the mines and live in the mining camps to familiarize yourself with the business?” “No, I did not have to suffer any hard ships. I lived in Denver and did most of my business there. It was understood that! had money, and miners would come to mo who dosirol money to develop their pro perty and would sell me an interest for a few hundred dollars that became, when the mine was worked, worth many thousands. I have tho greatest confidence in miners, whom I have found to be very reliable and courteous. It requires a deal of faith in mining, and do you know I see and feel and have that ‘faith’ the miners have when they think they are on the right track. We help each other out West, stake each otlior, and have confidence in the integrity of each other The result is a man may be poor, but get a stake from someone and find him self rich within a few months. Once I helped a man out of a lawsuit at a cost of several hundred dollars, and I was not only rewarded by large money returns, but by his life long gratitude. When a miner once starts on a lead he should never abandon it. One poor fellow I heal'd of stopped work within five inches of a rich mineral deposit. Miners are generally men of courage and possessed of more titan the average amount of brains, or they would not push out and try their fortunes. Mining is not what it was when Bret Harte knew it. His romances arc beautiful and entertaining, but the rail road, telegraph and other modern innova tions have destroyed all that idyllic pictur esqueness. Whisky Dicks’in mining camps arc put in the lock-ups and made amenable to t'nc laws. These mining camps in Colo rado have all the modern comforts, gas, water, bxks, newspapers, pictures, banks, and, indeed, the civilization of the East. What a contrast to Arkansas life, whore the people live iu miserable cabins, in a land of wealth still unexplored, for it is said the mineral deposits in that State nro finer than any yet found. Mining sliurks are easily detected. You ban not sell worthless prop erty except for u worthless price. You are put through a regular catechism when you sell, and ore obliged to verify every statement that you make, and exam inations and statements must lie mode by men who are known to be incorrupti bk “Have many women besides yourself boon lucky; - ’ “Yes. but they aro not as numerous as men, of course. A lady friend of mine, while on a summer trip, found an outcrop ping of ore on the surface and located a claim which sold for s‘>,ooo. Mining for gold is a fine art, for in a whole ton of earth you will prolmhlv get no more than an ounce of gold. 1 know a lady who is a fine judge of ores and resides in a lovely collage with her husband rieur some mines he owns. There is also n lady in GlunnUion comity. Col., who owns and works a large mine unil gives it her personal supervision. Sim has her own home, where she boards the miners and tends them in siekm The wealthiest woman in Colorado, Sirs. liishop liilF War ren, made her own money in the cattle business and is now worth $10,000,080. I hold that women have a perfect right to go into the mining business, as well as the cat tle or any other legitimate vocation.” Piles—Blind, Bleeding and Itching Positively cured by Darby's Prophylactic Fluid. liathe with a lit tie of the Fluid added to tho water.

THE MORNING NEWS: THURSDAY, JULY 7, 1887. BILLIARDS WITH HIS NOSE. Making Caroms and Cushion Shots Without Using Cue or Flngora. From the Xetc York Tribune. “Then you never really hoard of a man’s playing billiards with his nose?” drawled a mild-mannered gray -haired expert from a seat in a quiet corner of William Sexton’s big billiard room in Broadway. It isn’t often that the grave old man takes his eves off the game at tho nearest table, but bis scraps of coaching were lost that night on the two young men iu dress coats who were pounding the balls uround helter-skelter. So he turned sympathetically to another youth who ha i just taken u seat ltesid 1 him and was venting his feelings like this: “Humph; think I could discount either of them with one arm tied behind my back. I could beat ’em both with my nose, for that matter, though 1 never heard of anybody's making a cue of that.” “There’s where vt u’re way behind young man,” tho expert drawled again. “But see in’ as you know bad billiards when you see ’em, I’ll just tell you about a game l ran across last winter like that.” The young man smiled incredulously. He thought at the worst it was going to lie a joke on some well-known billiard player, perhaps on the renowned Sexton himself. “Well, said the old man gathering him self together, “you know what finger bil liards are, to start with. ‘Yank’ Adams used to play ’em all around, and people thought tliov wero a wonder for awhile. Now anybody can play ’em and beut tho cue every time. It will be tho same way with those nose billiards I’m going to tell you about before long. “I was a sittin’ over in Maurice Daly’s ro m in Brooklyn one night, lookin’ at Muu rico do up some spry young chaps that thought they knew all about the game. Only one was left and it was getting toward midnight when two big fellows that looked like rounders, only not so bad as that, came in. and behind them a short, small man with a broad rod face and a bloomin’ big shiny nose. When Maurice stopped the litt lo man got a cue and said lie'd play anybody in the house. The spry young fellow went at him for a small stake and won. Then he tried a bigger one and won aguin. It was fifty points up, three-ball game and the young fellow had only five to go on the third string, when the shiny-nosed man threw down his stick and said: “ ‘lf de slientlemans hav’ no objeckshuns I vill play' me alretty mit mine nose.’ “Aud he put Ins nose down sidewise against the cue ball, squinted carefully, pushed and made a long, hard carom. Then picking the cue ball up, like Adams used to do, he placed it again, aimed, shot and made a cushion. He didn’t miss but once, either, until he had run the string away out. Maurice was so knocked out that he forgot to collect the tariff on the table. The spry y'oung man had last all he had made, and more too. He quit right off for that night. The two big rounder-looking fellows gath ered in their friend, whose nose was bleed ing a little, and piloted him down and out. They said it was a little joke of his when he was on a lark. I never saw him after that. But that nose game’s been running in my' head ever since—tho sort of game they’ll play in tho next century, perhaps.” “Ah, yes,” added the young man admir ingly, “and what beautiful players some of the chosen tribe will make.” Over at Maurice Daly’s tho next after noon one of the markers could remember faintly that some such extraordinary match had taken place. “You mean Josh, I guess. Kind of big nosed fellow that came in here one night. Blithe played with a cue whim I saw him. Yes, go down ou Fulton avenue and you’ll run aerost him in one of the hotels.” “Josh"’ wasn’t at any' of the hotels, how ever. The hotels, of course, were mere beer shops with a billiard room attachment. But a waiter at one of them had just seen him go out. “Oh, yah, dcr funny man, wat play de beolyard mit his nose. Jus’ so. He play liter offen mit himself Tie der klein slitick mit ein storing auf his nose? Oh, yah. I iiuve him geschen offen.” “Josh” htinself denied this last part of the big German’s story, when he was col lared at last under a street awning near tho City Hull. “Well, yes, maybe I did and maybe I didn’t play that game up at Mr. Daly’s. And it may be just a yoke some of rny friends is playing on you. But I never used any little cue, if I played at all. This cue’s good enough for me.” and the great billiai’dist tapped his big brauening, peach-blow nose fondly. “Well, yes, I play the game,” he went on, “I’m givin’ you the straight tip now, young feller. My name is ‘Josh’ Myers, ana I can count with my nose faster than any ama teur can with his cue, and my friends has got 8100 to say I can in any hull in Brook lyn. This is tho way I learnt it. You see I used to keep a billiard table ’fore I went into the tobacco business, what I’m into now. And one day nnold Frenchman copie along and he hired, the table a kind of quiet aud he played off there with his nose. And I seen ut first and thought it was all non sense. But after the old man went away I said to myself that there must be somethin’ into it, so I tried once and kept on tryin’ till I got the hung. It made my nose blued at first some and the tip of it red and sore, hut it’s all hardened up now and I tell you I don’t need no chalk.” “Well, you've seen finger billiards, haven’t you? It’s thp same game. I place my cue ball near the object ball and jjien hit with my nose to carom or cushion for the other. I can’t inako draw shots, of course. And the follows are pretty hard, but the ordinary Englishes are nothin’. I can make an average of Dm easy on a three ball game, and I know that’ll knock almost any amateur. I’ve got a backer or two. Anybody that thinks he can lick me, or thut I’m playing ‘fake,’ just let him come on. ” Tlio groat billiardist would not give an ex hibition, however. Like some other re doubtable champions, he is saving his met tle until the stakes are high. Treed a Yankee. Erom the Anierieus (On.) Recorder. When Col. Stcklqg, with liis live Yankees wus commandant of the post, witii head quarters in Americuv, and lmd the columns fronting Col. 18. H. Hawkins, residence draped in tiie folds of a large United litotes flag, hi men were as eager for yaller-legged chick-.T* as ever a half starved Confederate was during the invasion of Maryland and Pennsylvania.. Edward Littleton had a pretty large stock of chickens, and he owned two llorco dogs that guarded Ins premises at ni:;ht. One night lie was awakened by his (logs after something, and ho lit out of lied, with only a long white rolie on his person and ran to his chicken house. The moon was full and it was nearly as bright us duy and as he got near his hen house, he found his dogs miring up aud trying to reach the top of a 10 foot post that was planted in the yard. Ou top of the post was a real live Yankee, with ids hlu ■ uniform and brass buttons, showing off his manly form to the admiring delight of t# " dogs. They didn't understand what so many shining tilings, so far from the stars meant and they were anxious to know. As soon as the Yank saw Ed hovelled out: “Call off your dogs, Johnnie; I want to come down. ’ Kd coolly said, “I can’t. Didn’t set them on you ami don't want them off. Whut are you doing up there?” “Come iu to get some water,” was the reply. “Get the dogs off.” “That was a queer place to get water on top of thut post. Was it good?” said Ed. The Yankee went to pleading, while the dogs kept up a whining and licking of their jaws us they hungrily eyed the Yankee on his perch. At last getting (sleepy Ed hold the dogs, told the V ankee t lie well was on the other side of the house and lie could co.ue down and get his water. Tho fellow came down in n hurry, but declined the water, jumped over the fence at the nearest point and went to camp without tho chick ens.
