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. Col Hitchcock will lie succeeded by Mayor Eao Hippier. Mnj. Harrv Corson will re sign. and Capt. Moir, of Company C, will sunned him. Company Cis the crack drill THE MORNING NEWS: MONDAY, AUGUST 22, 1887. company that, challenged Company A of tho Feno.ihies during the recent encampment at Mount Gretna. 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.

Our Little Men and Women for Septem ber has some very taking illustrations, which are sure to please the little folks. The number also has reading matter suit able for the youthful mind. The American Magazine is r.ow pub lished by the American Magazine Company. The frontisipiece of tho September number is a portrait of Lieut. C. F. Winter, of the Governor General’s Foot Guards, Canada, who has served in both Egypt and the Do minion, and wears honorable scars, as well as medals and the Khedive star.

"The Household” department contains the rqx? suggestions of a physician’s experience, for preserving health in September. American Magazine Company. 130 and 138 Pearl street, New York, MAY BE $70,000 IN RAGS. 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. BROKERS.
