FUN IN THE ANSWERS.
Amusement for the Constitutional
Centennial Commissioners.
From the Philadelphia Press.
“No, ma’m; we don’t wish any moro
poetry.”
“Let me give you a sample, sir.”
“It would lx? useless, I can assure you.
We could not accept a poem even from
Shakespeare.”
"Then there would be absolutely' no hope
for either of us.”
“Alas! none.”
“Hem! Well, good morning, sir.”
And the very tall young woman of un
certain age, with big, round eye-glasses and
a long, thin nose, turned rather frigidly and
left the cosy room of the Constitutional Cen
tennial Celebration Commission to Secre
tary Hampton L. Carson, his secretary and
the reporter.
“A poetess?” ventured the reporter.
“A poetess,” answered Mr. Carson. “The
verse-makers are not quite so numerous now
as they have been. Only three poetesses
and two poets have visited us this week.
They want to write odes, sonnets and other
things on patriotic subjects to be used dur
ing the celebration. They are not so had,
except when they wish to insist on reading
what they call a sample to the committee.
We are all so busy that really we have no
time to avail ourselves of their generous of
fers.”
ALL FOR CASH.
“Do they write for glory or for cash?”
“Oli! for cash all the time. There are no
end of musicians, also, who are kindly fa
voring us with patriotic songs for the con
stitutional celebration. We havo receive!
eighty or ninety so far. We shall probably
have several hundred by the time the cele
bration takes place.”
“Have you heal'd them all sung?”
"What!” with a wild look coming into
liis tine blue eyes. Then after a pause:
“They have all been referred to the Music
Committee. ”
"Pray, what does the Music Committee
think of them?”
“The conunitteo hasn’t found time to re
port as yet.”
The General Committee is having a vast
deal to do, but is not being permitted to
labor in the dark. Every mail brings it ad
vice from far away patriots who are watch
ing them with solicitous eyes. Some of the
advice is good, and some is not so good. But
all of it is interesting. After the letters
are read they are carefully filed away like
receipts for money and the President’s letter
of acceptance. The box in whien they are
placed is labeled “Eccentricities.” One of
the first bits of light received yesterday
came on a postal card from a zealous gen
tleman in Newportville, Pa. He bail
thought out things that had not entered the
mind of the committee members. He said:
“Gentlemen, if you want to help make
the celebration a success, don’t forgot to
invite the sporting turf people, etc., of
the United States. Also the clergy of all
sects.”
SAMPLES OF SUGGESTIONS.
Another gentleman in the interior of the
State, who has been a subscriber to the
funny papers and has derivtd a good deal of
satisfaction from a trick used m most of
them, wrote to Mr. Carson:
“Please have all the soldiers and. states
men who take part in the glorious parade
placarded so that spectators will know them
as they pass along.”
A man in Buffalo writes that he is a
member of a drum corps of nine old men,
whose ages aggregate 782 years. Their
flagstaff is a musket used by the grand
father of the letter-writer at the Battlo of
Bunker Hill. Their equipments consist of
canteens, cartridge boxes and drum cases
used during the Revolution. He says they
make a mighty lively company, notwith
standing their ages, and that they would
gladly tako part in the parade if their ex
penses were paid.
The letter was referred to Col. Snowden,
but it is not considered likely that the com
mittee will put up for expenses.
An aeronaut, with an eye to business,
writes to Mr. Carson:
“I would lie glad to take a member of the
committee and a young lady dressed as a
Goddess of Liberty up in a balloon. I will
take them straight up in the air for $45.
Further jiarticulars furnished on applica
tion.”
As it was impossible to find any member
of the committee who cared to go up in a
balloon, even with a young lady dressed as
a Goddess of Liberty, no action was taken
respecting the letter.
Another king of tho air writes that he
would like to jump from a balloon about a
mile up in air and come down in a parachute
in front of the President's stand. He add
ed quite superfluously, as Mr. Carson
thought:
“I guarantee that this would make a sen
sation."
RELICS OF WASHINGTON —FOR SALE.
T. A. Washington, of Washington, a de
scendant of a relative of the Father of His
Country, writes to the committee offering
for sale the suit of clothes that George
Washington wore on the occasion of his
first inauguration. Ho says that the
clothes belong to a great-grandniece of
George Washington, now living in Texas,
and for whom lie is acting. Ha guarantees
the genuineness of the relics and refers as
to his standing to several well-known men
in Washington He was answered that the
eon Hjiittee has no money to spend on curios,
but it suggested that if the clothes aro real
ly what they are said to be, they should be
purchased by Congress and put into the
museum in the Patent Office.
Homo letters receiver! by the committee
in reply to invitations sent out to office
holders in various .States to lie present at
the ceremonies of the celebration, are pretty
nearly as eccentric as the other communica
tions.' A delicious type was received by
the last mail yesterday afternoon. It came
from a member of the Maryland House of
Representatives and a relative of a cele
brated Irish poet. Tho spelling of the let
ter may be a trifle defective in spots, but its
patriotism is unimpeachable. It reads:
“Gentlemen, I nave the honor to ac
knowledge tho receipt of your invitation
and desire to say that I will be present at
the Centennial Anniversary of the birth of
our Glorious Constitution. Why shouldn't
I an why shouldn't evry lover of pluck
and perseverance. The world knows that
it was
“ ‘Born in tears and baptised in blood
With ‘blarsted’ roots its only food.
But raised aloft its little hand
And swore by God it would tie a man.’
“And I am going to Philadelphia to honor
him and tell him that there is blasted roots
enough to give the world and IRELAND
LIBERTY.”
THE PRESIDENT'S QUARTERS.
The suite of rooms engaged by President
Cleveland at the Ijifavette Hotel for his,
use during the celebration are to be over
hauled and redecorated. They take in the
whole Broad street front of the hotel on the
first, sleeping floor. Three of the rooms
will 1* parlors. Mrs. Cleveland's room will
tic daintily upholstered in blue and gold.
Gov. Beaver lias engaged the two parlors
adjoining Mr. Cleveland’s suite. He is n
light sleeper, however, and has engaged a
chamber way up at tlio too and back of the
hotel so as to Ist out of tho range of the
street noises. Ex-Gov. Curtin has also taken
rooms as near to the President as he could
get them. He engaged them simply and
solely Isvause the President went to a hotel
instead of going to a private house. “I tell
you, sir, I am glad to see that President
Cleveland has decided not to be a guest at a
private house. He is the representative of
the iicople. He is one of them, and it is
right that on an oecnsion of this kind he
should be among tho pooplo and take his
board at a tavern.”
The Thirteenth Pennsylvania regiment,
N. G. P., from Hcranton, is making prepar
ation* for its participation in tho Constitu
tional Celebration next month. At leust 400
of the moinbers will visit tho city. There
will be some change in the officers’ roster.

company that, challenged Company A of tho

Committees representing the various
branches of the building industry em
braced in the membership of the Philadel
phia Builders’ Exchange met throughout
yesterday morning and afternoon in the ex
change headquarters and discussed the de
tails of their respective exhibits in tho Cen
tennial Celebration next September.
The nature of the exhibits of the various
trades which will bo made conjointly bo
tween the Builders’ Exchange and the
Building Trades Council has already been
outlined. President John Stevens’ idea will
probably lie carried out without but slight
variations.
THEY WANT THE NAVY.
Col. Snowden and Charles H. Cramp left last
night for Bar Harbor to consult Secretary
Whitney about having the navy represented
at the great Centennial Celebration. Among
the features of the parade will lx? a series
of floats sliowing a primitive log cabin side
by side witli a modern cottage: a number of
mounted couriers leading pack horses, the
olden-timo means of transportation, fol
lowed by the Conestoga wagons, stage
coaches, the first American locomotive and,
lastly, the superb railroad horse of to-day in
front of a Pullman palace ear.
Another feature will be a number of
tableaux representing the formation of the
constitution, the battle of Lexington, the
Declaration of Independence and the sur
render of Yorktown.
President Cleveland will lx? banqueted at
the Academy of Music on the evening of
Sept. 17 by the University of Pennsylva
nia, Philadelphia Library Company, Penn
sylvania Historical Society, the Franklin
Institute and Law Academy. A delegation
of the Hibernian Society, which is anxious
to entertain the President on the afternoon
of Sept. 17, was yesterday informed that
the President's engagements with the com
mission would not interfere with such ati
entertainment.

Guesses at the Wealth of Miser Mary
Smith.
From the Boston Globe.
Mrs. Mary Smith, the miser, whose death
in apparent poverty, but with plenty of
money in her ragged clothes, was reported
Monday, had not always been a professional
beggar, but was for runny years in business
as a manufacturer of corsets and hoop
skirts, not far from tho old Colony depot,
and the sign which hung over her bod was
the one which formerly marked her work
shop door. She did quite a large business,
and for several years gave employment to
three or four wotntm and girls. She at that
time lived in squalid quarters, and her
workshop was almost as dirty, as dingy, as
squalid as the miserable apartment where
she always slept and sometimes ate.
Notwithstanding the mean and unsavory
quarters which she occupied, she had con
siderable work at her shop, and from the
close method in which she conducted the
business and her miserly habits she was en
abled to accumulate many thousand dollars
from her shop alone. Even while conduct
ing her shop it appears that she added to her
income by begging food, clothes and money,
and was gaining a considerable revenue by
plying tho vocation of a beggar, while the
worm n in her employ were at work making
corsets.
The two relatives, John and Richard
Welch, who in her will were cut off with #1
each, ure nephews, not cousins, and are the
children of her sister, who died in Fall River
some fourteen years ago. John lias lately
lived in Newport, where he has on
many of the cottages at his trade of a hard
wood flnisuer. He last worked on the Lor
illard cottage, and on finishing that job came
to Boston, with the intention, if he did not
find work here, of going on to Chicago.
John has not been found here, and it is sup
posed that he has gone West.
Richard Lynch, who lives in Lowell, was
first made aware of the death of Ids aunt by
the story published Monday, and at once
telegraphed to another brother, who resides
in Fall river, informing him of the fact and
asking him to go to Loiveli.
Thomas Lynch, the Fall River relative,
was at Nowqiort on his vacution, and did not
receive the telegram as expected, and Rich
ard waited at the depot in Lowell all day
Monday in vain. At night the telegram
reached its destination, mid arrangements
wore mode for a meeting between the broth
ers to decide upon the course to take in rela
tion to the property which their aunt left.
Ir. case tho will is not found the three
nephews and their cousin, Mrs. Fallon, of
Hyde Park, will, of course, come in for their
proportionate share of the property; in case
tin? will is found, tin? Fall Itivcr nephew,
who is not mentioned in the will, according
to Lawyer Collieth’s story, will have an op
portunity to contest it, if he sees fit .
About the old lady’s antecedents her rela
tives, who had little intercourse with her,
have but slight knowledge. The old lady
was not inclined to make many visits, and
her habits were such tliat ber relatives
would not have much to do with her. Her
last visit to Fall River was about seventeen
years ago. Her nephew* occasionally visited
her. About two years ago Thomas called
at her shop. Ho hod repeatedly prob-sted
against her method of life, but to no effect,
ami had supposed that she wan poor,
although lie knew of her miserly ways. On
this occasion lie told his aunt she ought to
have better clothes.
“Where will I get them?” she asked.
“Buy them,” said he. “I will give you
the money if you neod it.”
She looked at him, a curious light in her
eyes, and said, “I’ve got more money than
you.”
And the find in her mattress and cloth
ing shows that she had. Her relatives have
no means of accurately estimating her
fortune, lint it is the general belief that the
estimate of #'.2o,Off) i. not too much, and a
gentleman who knew something of her
habits when alive, and has had some things |
which w ore formerly inexplicable made sig
nificant in the light given by the story, j
says he would not. lx? surprised if it !
amounted to something like $70,000 when I
the retunurare all in.
Tlie course to lx? adopted by the relatives
will net lx? determined until after a confer
ence is had. One singular thing in the story I
is the fact that in the will no mention was
made of Thomas, who was regarded as her
favorite nephew. That the old lady laid not
forgotten him is shown bv the faet that a
few months ago Richard Lynch called vqxiu
her for the first time in several years. He
also protested against her squalid surround
ings, and offered her aid, out she refused.
She was at that time living in the dirty
room on Albany street, where the money
was found. Richard spoke about Thomas,
and the old lady said that she would go to
Fall River and set? Thomas this summer.
So far as can be learned none of her rela
tives knew that she had any grout amount
of property, and the only intimation that it
is known sho gave to anybody of her wealth
was the remark which she made to Thomas
when he offered to buy clothes for her. Her
son John, who went \V’est some thirty-five
or forty years ago lias not been heal'd from
for many years, and lias long been Ix-lieved
to lx? dead. That she believed it herself is
shown by her own statement at different
times during several years jxist. Her only
surviving relatives are nephews, the three
Lynch brothers, and her niece, Mrs. Fallon,
of Hyde Park.
Voudooism Killed Him.
A dispatch from Little Rock, Ark., to the
New York World says: “An extraordinary
illustration of human credulity has lx?eu de
veloped in the trial at. Arkansas City.. Ark.,
of Dr. Henry Harris, charged with the mur
der of James Venters, a colored man who had
accumulated considerable property. Harris
is known as a “votidoo doctor.” He tins an
extensive practice in the swamps of South
ern Arkansas and Mississippi, where the
negroes regard him as a magician of gixxi
or evil. He gather* herbs and roots at tnid
night, the darkies say, and his knowledge of
voudoo sm is unlimited. He attended Yen
tersattho first stage of his illness. A
white physician was called, as the sick man
grew win.st?, who said ho was suffering from
poison.
It appears Venters bad taken a dose of
powder and shot, besides other mixtures of
a mysterious nature. When lie died Harris
was puton trial for murder. The evidence
showed a limitless range of ignorance and
duplicity. Nearly all the witnesses ex
pressed a firm belief in voudooism. Mar
velous experiences were told. Tho disciple
of the voudoo practice was shown to hold
life and death in tho hollow of his hand.
Numbers of cases where Harris had saved
life and exorcised evil spirits from white
and black, young and old, were cited T be
instruments appeared to be faith, charms
and incantation.
The jury, however, found Harris guilty
of manslaughter, fixing his punishment at
eight months imprisonment. There is much
dissatisfaction. His friends sav liis convic
tion is an outrage, a travesty of justice.
There are others who hold a different opin
ion, and it is said to-night that he may
yet suffer death at the hands of his victim’s
friends.
