CUBA'S REIGN OF TERROR
HAVANA ALREADY IN CHARGE OF
REGULAR TROOPS.
An Expectation That the City Will be
Declared in a State of Siege-Livea
Already Loot in Conflicts Between
the Soldiers and the Civilians.
New Orleans, Aug. 28.—A special to the
IHcayune from Key West, Fla., says: Ad
vices received here iast night state that the
greatest excitement prevails in Havana,
occasioned by the recent acts of Captain
General Marin in taking possession of the
custom house and placing officials under
arrest.
The city is in charge of regular troops
and the situation becomes daily more des
perate, recalling the events attending the
massacre of the medical students in 1871.
A REION OF TERROR.
A reign of terror prevails, and it is ex
pected that Havana will be declared in a
state of siege. Already several conflicts
have occurred between troops and civilians,
resulting in the killing of some and the
wounding of others.
Captain General Marin has issued a proc
lamation calling ou the rioters to maintain
order, and warning them that otherwise so
vtre measures will be adopted to uphold the
law.
A GENERAL UPRISING IMMINENT.
Daily conferences are held with his mili
tary chiefs, and measures have been adopted
to prevent a general uprising, which is im
minent.
The Colonels of all the volunteer regi
ments were called together at the plaza and
ordered to disarm their forces, and that
otherwise they would be held responsible
for wbat might occur. The volunteers, who
are opposed to Cupt. Gen. Marin, and are
encouraged therein by political bodies de
sirous of Bis removal, have joined the riot
ers.
“DOWN WITH MARIN.”
Several meetings have been held in the
park where cheers of “Viva Salamanca”
were given, and cries of “Down with Marin.”
The city is placarded with a call for a gen
eral mass meeting at the park to-night,
and requesting all to bring arms. The
call is believed to have emanated
from the volunteers, and serious trouble is
expected. So far the Captain General con
trols the situation w ith the regular troops,
which liave been distributed throughout the
city prepared for any emergency.
ARTILLERY IN POSITION.
Artillery has been placed in commanding
positions, while the troops stationed in
towns adjoining Havana are kept under
arms ready to move qt a moment’s notice.
Those in Havana also have been quartered
in their barracks for several days. The bat
talion of Isabel Kequeda and the forces of the
Queen’s regiment are under arms at Gaisinas
and Castilla Del Principe. A company of
artillery is at the armory on Campanelia
street. ' Orderlies are hurrying in all direc
tions conveying secret orders.
BULGARIA READY TO PAY.
The Porte Offered £150,000 on Ac
count of the Present Debt.
Constantinople, Aug. 528. —M. Volko
vitch, the Bulgarian representative here,
has informed the Porte that the Bulgarian
government is rendy to pay £150,000 on ac
count, and to negotiate for the remainder
of the Roumelian tribute and contribution
to the Turkish debt charge. Baron Blanc,
the Italian Ambassador here, had a private
interview with the Sultan yesterday. It is
reported that he urgod the Sultan to sanc
tion the appointment of Prince Ferdinand
as Prince of Bulgaria and thus terminate
the crisis. Englund and Austria support
Italy in this policy.
RUSSIA'S DETERMINATION.
Berlin, Aug. 28.—1 t is rumored here
that Russia has decided to take independent
action in Bulgaria, and to send a Governor
there unless Turkey intervenes quickly and
puts all end to the crisis. According to a

position, 1 icing deserted by those who ad
vised him to go to Bulgaria.
NOT TO BE COERCED.

Michael Davitt Warns the Tories of
the Danger of Their Course.
Dublin, Aug. 28.—Michael Davitt ad
dressed the Bray branch of the league to
day. He said that the only course preva
lent in Ireland was eviction. If
England imprisoned men for resisting
the in justice of landlordism and exercising
the right of free speech the country would
be steeped to the lips in crime during the
coming winter. They would continue to
boycott sneaking thieves and land grabbers,
but before two years hail passed the necessi
ty for agitating and lioycotting would be
over.

COLOROW’S TACTICS.
A Belief That the Indians are Trying
to Fool the Troops.
Denver, Col., Aug. 28.—The Republi
can's special from Camp Adams states that
Lieut. Leslie and his escort have gone to the
reservation to demand the body of Colorow
and the two iNdians wanted for horse steal
ing. Sheriff Kendall says he will have the
Indians at all hazards. It is be
lieved by some that all the
ITtes have not returned to the reservation.
A small band may have done so in order to
throw the trooiis off the trail, while the rest
of the band fortify themselves in the moun
tains and lay in a supply of provisions for
a long engagement.
NO CHANGE IN THE SITUATION.
The Ute war situation, as far as can be
learned, is unchanged. Since yesterday
word lias been received that (100 Uutes are
camped near Thursday’s battlefield and are
held back by two companies of colored
regulars. It is known that the Indians that
took Part in the fight were true
Utes, White river. Uintah Utes and Un
compahgres, and that if necessary 1,000 re
inforcements can be raised from this tribe.
The Uncompahgre Indians are a very hot
headed race, and if any of their
people were killed Thursday it
is feared the entire tribe will
take the matter up and precipitate the
State into a long and bloody war. If the
Indlatisido not attack the whites at Rangley
before the arrival of Gov. Adams and Gen.
Cook to-morrow, there are hopes that the
trouble will be settled. Lieut. Folsom, of
Aspen, who was wounded seriously during
the engagement died Friday morning.

Apostle’’ Sent to McGlynn.
New York, Aug. 28.—A large floral harp
with the inscription, “Our National Apos
tle,” was sent to Dr. McGlynn at the Anti-
Foverty Society’s meeting at the Academy
of Music to-night. The house was very well
filled. James Redpath, presided. The first
speaker was the United Labor party's can
didate for State Controller, Mr. Wilder, of
Brooklyn.
Referring to the action of the Syracuse
convention in expelling the Socialists, Mr.
Wilder said: “Socialism worship at the
altar of an everlasting lie and kills liberty,
individualism and life. In turning the So
cialists out of their pnrty the labor men
have turned out falseness. The united labor
party is not one of revolution. It is step
ping” back to where Jefferson stood—to the
stand of Abraham Lincoln. It is stopping
back to where every hero has stood since
the beginning of time—to the inalienable
right of freedom and the law of the land for
the people.”

SAVANNAH, GA., MONDAY, AUGUST 20, 1887.
JUDGEUHALLJDEAD.
He was One of the Deepest Thinkers
of the Georgia Bar.
Atlanta, Ga., Aug. 28. —Judge Samuel
Hall of the State Supreme Court who has
been at the point of death for several weeks,
died at midnight Inst night at his summer
residence at Mount Airy. He was sur
rounded by his family.
Judge Hall, says a writer in the Consti
tution who lately furnished a sketch of him,
was a son of Dr. Hall, who emigrated to
Georgia from North Carolina originally,
but who previous to his arrival in the State
was for a short time a resident of the “Pal
metto State.” Dr. Hall was an intelligent
man, and was from a family famous for its
intelligence, learning and culture. He set
tled in Knoxville, Crawford county, where
his family was reared. Possessed of large
property he was able to give his children
every advantage, and ns soon os the boy
was old enough for college training, Samuel
Hall, the subject of this sketch, was sent to
the University of Georgia, at Athens.
Ha was well prepared when he entered the
university, ana though he graduated with a
class (of 1841) that was composed of
such material as Thomas R. R. Cobb, Lu
ther J. Glenn, the LeContes, Joseph and
Louis, he stood along with the very best at
the very top of the class roll. At Athens he
was a member of the Demosthenian Society,
in which arena so many illustrious Geor
fians and Southcrnei-s learned how to do
ate. His portrait adorns the walls of that
society to-day, and his memory there will
be long treasured.
Reading law, he settled in Knoxville,
where he practiced for a few years with his
brother, It. B. Hall, one of the most remark
able and promising young men of his day
in Georgia, but who unfortunately died lie
fore he was 30. In the first settlement of
Oglethorpe, in Macon county, Sam Hall
moved there and formed a copartnership
with Stephen F. Miller, author of the
“Bench and Bar of Georgia.” In a few
years he removed to Macon, where he
formed a second partnership with his broth
er, R. B. Hall. During this time Samuel
Hall was elected Solicitor General of the
Macon circuit, which office he filled with
ability and to the satisfaction of the people.
Removing thence to Fort Valley, he prac
ticed law there for some years. During his
residence in Fort Valley he was seized with
some sort of an attack, very much similar
to the one that attacked him a short time
ago, which he never entirely recovered from
and which left one arm and hand almost
entirely useless.
Returning to Macon ho resumed the prac
tice of law, with Hon. Washington Poe as a
partner, and this partnership continued un
til J. *H. Hall, his son, was graduated from
the University of Georgia, when father and
son became partners. This partnership
lasted until November, 1882, when tho Gen
eral Assembly elected him as Associate Jus
tice of the Supreme Court for six years, be
ginning Jan. t 1888.
Judge Hall has been married but once.
His wife w-as a Miss Ashe, a daughter of the
celebrated North Carolina family of that
name. He leaves six or seven children, all
of whom have arrived at man’s estate. In
addition to his office as Associate Justice
Judge Hall was a trustee of tho University
of Georgia. A year ago he was also elected
a trustee of the University of tho (South, lo
cated at Sewiineo, Tenn.
Asa lawyer, Judge Hall was noted for
painstaking, diligent, careful research. He
was, perhaps, better read in the law- and the
current literature of the profession than
any man in the State. He was an encyclo
paedia of facts, decisions, and principles,
and his decisions as they appear in the
Georgia reports are, perhaps, the most care
fully prepared of any to be found within
the w-hole series of reports.
“A child in regard to business, he does
not take the trouble to collect his own fees,”
said an intimate friend of the Judge.
When given a case he at once applied him
self to the study of the law and tho facts,
never for one moment considering fees.
Hence it is that while his profession enabled
him to live in ease and comfort, a lack of
business knowledge prevented him from be
coming rich.
MISCEGENATION.
A White Girl of Well-to-do Parents
In a Cell.
Atlanta, Ga.. Aug. 28.—Susie Dunning,
a 20-years-old white girl, was locked up at
the station to-night with her 2-weeks-old
infant. She says that tho father of the
child is a negro named Arthur Strickland,
who worked on tho farm of her widowed
mother five miles from Atlanta.
The Dunnings are well off,
owning a good farm and valuable city prop
erty. The girl is decidedly good looking,
and does not seem to realize the depth of her
degradation. She hus a country shool edu

Louis Loud (white) shot himself aoci

DECATUR’S RIOT.
Burial of the Marshal—Tho Murderer
Located.
Atlanta, Ga., Aug. 28.—The disorder in
Decatur yesterday was not in any sense a
conflict between the races. A drunken ne
gro disturbed a religious meeting and sev
eral colored toughs resisted arrest. In the
melee the fatal shots were fired and the
whites liecame very much excited, but so
far ns yet appears without cause. Torn
Chi vein, one of the wounded men, will re

Marshal Hurst was buried to-day. His
murderer, Jake Pritchai-d, had not In—n ap

COLOR LINES AT PABLO.
Three Negro Companies to Arrive on
the Scene To-Day.
Jacksonville, Fla., Aug. 28.—T0-day
has lieen very quietly sfient at the camp at
Pablo, on account of rain. The soldiers
hardly left their tents. (Slight excitement
was caused this afternoon by a fight l*>
tween a negro and one of the soldiers,
which resulted all in negroes lieing run
out of one of the pavilions on the
beach, which is a favorite resort.
There is dissatisfaction in the camp nwiug
to the order of the Governor, that the men
remain within the linos to-morrow. On ac
count of three negro companies coming
down it was feared trouble might ensue,
and hence the order. To-morrow the Santa
Rosa Rifles and Escamldas will hreuk camp
and return hone-. The balance of the
trooos will leave Tuesilay morning. The
camp, so far, has been a great success.
Another Shock at Augusta.
Augusta. Ga., Aug. 28.—A slight shock

WOMAN'S OPPORTUNITY.
MALE AND FEMALE MADE FOR A
SPECIFIC WORK.
Each Has a Sphere In Which to be
Regnant-Rev. Talmage Puts Him
self on Record as Against Femininity
that Aspires to Pants—Home the
Kingdom Woman Should Rule.
The Hamptons, Aug. 28.—“ Woman’s
Opportunity” was the subject of discourse
by the Rev. T. DeWitt Talmage, D. D., to
day; and his text, “So God created man in
His own image, the image of God created
He him; male and female created He them.”
—Genesis i, 27. Following is tho sermon in
full:
In other words, God, who can make no
mistake, made man and woman for a spe
cific work, and to move in particular
spheres—man tolie regnant in his realm;
woman to lie dominant in hers. The bound
ary line bet.weeu Italy and Switzerland, lie
tween England and Scotland, is not more
thoroughly marked than this distinction
between the empire masculine and the em
pire feminine. So entirely dissimilar are
the fields to which Gcal called them, that
you can no more compare them than you
can oxygen and hydrogen, water
and grass, trees and stars. All
this talk about the superiority of
one sex to the other sex is an everlasting
waste of ink and speech. A jeweler may
have a scale so delicate t hat he can weigh
the dust of diamonds; but where are the
scales so delicate that you can weigh in them
affection against affection, sentiment
against sentiment, thought against thought,
soul against soul, a man's world against a
woman's world l You come out with your
stereotyped remark, the man is superior to
woman in intellect; and then I open on my
desk the swarthy, iron-typed, thun
darholted writings of Harriet Mar
tineau, and Elizabeth Browning,
and George Eliot. You come on
with your stereotyped remark about wom
an’s superiority to man in tha item of af
fection; but I ask you where was there more
capacity to love than in John the disciple,
and in Robert McCheyna, the Scotchman,
and John Summeriield, the Methodist, and
Henry Martin, the missionary) Tiie heart
of those men was so large, that, after you
had rolled into it two hemispheres, there
was room still left to marslial the hosts of
heaven, and set up the throne of the eternal
Jehovah. I deny to man the throne intel
lectual. I deny to woman the throne affoc
tional. No human phraseology will ever
define the spheres, while there is an intui
tion by which we know when a man is in
his realm, and when a woman is in her
realm, and when either of them is out of it.
No bungling Legislature ought to attempt to
make a definition, or to say: “This is the
line and that is,the line." My theory
is tliat if a woman wants to vote, she
ought to vote, and that if a
man wants to embroider and keep
house, he ought to be allowed to embroider
and keep house. There are masculine
women and there are effeminate men. My
tlioory is, that you have no right to inter
fere with anyone’s doing anything that is
righteous. Albany and Washington might
as well decree by legislation how high a
brown-thrasher should fly, or how deep a
trout should plunge, as to seek out the
height or the depth of woman’s duty. Tho
question of capacity will settle finally the
whole question, the whole subject. When
a woman is prepared to preach, she will
preach, and neither Conference nor Presby
tery can hinder her. When a woman is
prepared to move in highest commercial
Miheres, she will have grout influence on the
Exchange, and no boards of trade can
binder her. I want woman to understand
that heart and brain can overfly any bar
rier that politicians may set up, and that
nothing can keep her back, or keep her
down, but the question of incapacity.
There are women, I know, or most unde
sirable nature, who wander up und down
the country —haviug no homes of their own,
or forsaking their own homes—talking
about their rights; and we know very well
that they tHrmselves are (it neither to vote,
nor fit to keep house. Their mission seems
to be to humiliate the two sexes at tho
thought of what any one of us might be
come No one would want to live under the
laws that such women would enact, or to
have cast upon society the children that such
women would rear. But I shall show you
this mbrnlng that the best rights that
women can own, the already lias m her pos
session ; that her position in tins country at
this time is notone of commiseration, but
one of congratulation: that, the grandeur
and power of her realm have never yet been
appreciated; that siie sits to-day on a throne
so high that all the thrones of earili
piled on top of each other would
not make for her a footstool. Here is the
platform on which she stands. Away down
below it are the ballot-box and the Con
gressional assemblage and the legislative
hall. Woman always has voted and always
will vote. Our great grandfathers thought
they were by their votes putting Washing
ton into the Presidential chair. No. His
mother, by the principles she taught hi ft],
and by the habits she inculcated, made him
President. It was a Christian mother’s
hand dropping the ballot when Lord Bacon
wrote, and Newton philosophized, and
Alfred the Great governed, and Jonathan
Edwards thundered of judgment to come.
How many men there have been in high
political station, who would have been in
sufficient to stand the test to which their
moral principle was put, had it not been
for a wife's voice that encouraged them to
do right, and a wife’s prayer that souhdisl
louder than the clamor of partisanship!
Why, my friends, the right or suffrage, as
we men exercise it, seems to boa feeble
tiling. You, a Christian man, coine up to
the ballot-lxix and you drop your vote.
Right after you comes a libertine, or a sot
- the offscouring of the street—and he
dropa his vote; and his vote counteracts
yours. But if in the quiet, of homo life a
daughter by her Christian demeanor, a
wife by her industry, a mother by her faith
fulness, casts a vote in the right direction,
then nothing can rcsisL it, and the influence
of tii&t vote will throb through the eterni
ties.
My chief anxiety then is, not that woman
have other rights accorded her, but that
•die, by the grace of God, rise up to tho ap
preciation of the glorious rights she already
possesses. This morning I shall only have
time to speak of one grand and all-absorb
ing right that every woman has, and that
in to make home happy. That realm no
one has ever disputed with her. Men may
come nt noon or ut night, and they tarry a
comparatively Little while; but she, all (lay
long, governs it, licautifies it, sanctifies it.
It is within her power to make It tha most
attractive place <>n earth. It is the only
calm hartsir in this world. You know as
well as Ido that this outeidn world und tho
business world, is a long scene of jostle and
contention. The man who has a dollar
Struggles to keep it; the man who lias it not
struggles to get It. Prices up.
Prices down. I/isses, Gains. Mis
representations. Gougings. Undersell
ing. Buy ere depreciating; salesmen
exaggerating. Tenants seeking less
rent; landlords demanding more, (fold
fidgety. Struggles about office. Men who
who are trying to keep in; men out trying
to get In. Blips. Tumbles. Defalcations.
Panics. Catantiophee. Oh. woman, thank
God you have a home, and that, vou may bo
queen in it. Better lie there than wear Vic
toria’s coronet. Better lie there than carry
the purse of a princess. Your abode may
lie bumble, but you can, by your faith in
God and your cheerfullness of demeanor,
gild it with splendors such as an upholsterer's
hand never vet kindled. There are uI sides
in the city—humble, two stories; four plain
ulipapcred rooms; undesirable neighbor
hood; and yet there is a man here this morn
ing who would die on that threshold rather
than surrender it. Wl:v I It is home.
Whenever he thinks of it he sees angels of
God hovering around it. The ladders of
heaven are let down to that house. Over
the child’s rough crib there are
the chanting* of angels as those that broke
over Bethlehem. It is home. These chil
dren may came up after awhile, and they
may win high position, und they may have
an affluent residence; but tliey will not until
their dying day forget that humble roof,
under which their father rested, and their
mother sung, and their sisters played. O, if
you would gather up all tender memories,
all the lights aud shades of the heart, all
banquetings and reunions, all filial, fra
ternal, paternal, and conjugal affections,
and you had only just four letters with
which to spell out that height and depth,
and length, and breadth, ainl magnitude,
and eternity of meaning, you would, with
streaming eyes, and trembling voice, and
agitated hand, write it out in those four liv
ing capitals, H-O-M-E.
What right does woman want that is
grander than to bo queen in such a real ml
Why, the eagles of heaven cannot fly across
that dominion. Horses, pAnting and with
lathered Hanks, are not swift enough to run
to the outpost of that realm. They say that
the sun never sets upon the English empire;
but I have to tell you that on this realm of
woman’s influence eternity never marks
any bound, lsnliollu tied from the Spanish
throne, pursued by the nation’s anathema;
but she who is queen in u home will never
lose her throne, and death itself will only
lie tho annexation of honvenly principal!
ties.
When you want to get your grandest idea
of a queen, you do not think of Catharine of
Russia, or of Anne of England, or Marie
Theresa of Germany; but when you wantto
get your grandest idea of a queen, you think
of the plain woman who sat opposite your
father at the table, or walked with him arm
in arm down life's pathway; sometimes to
the thanksgiving banquet, some times to tho
grave, but aiwuys together—soothing your
jietty griefs, correcting your childish way
wardness, joining in your infantile sports,
listening to your evening prayers, toiling
for you with needle, or at the spinning
wheel, and on cold nights wrapping you up
snug and warm. And then at last on that
day when she, lay in tho back room dying,
and you saw her tako those thin bands with
which she toiled for you so long, and put
them together in a dying prayer that com
mended you to tho Odd whom she had taught
you to trust—O, she was the
queen! Tho chariots of God came down to
fetch her; and as she went in, all
heaven rose up. You cannot think of her
now without a rush of tenderness that stirs
the deep foundations of your soul, and you
feel a* much a child again us when you
cried on iier lap; and if you could bring her
back again to s)>eak just once more your
name, as tenderly us she used to speak it,
you would lie willing to throw yourself ou
tho ground and kiss the sod that covers her,
crying: “Mother! mother!” Ah! she was
the queen —she was tho queen. Now, can
you tell me how many thousand miles a wo
man like that would nave to travel down
Lief ore she got to the ballot Iiox? Compared
with this work of training kings and queens
for God and eternity, how insignificant
seems all this work of voting for
aldermen and common councilman and
sheriffs, and constables, and mayors, and
presidents. Ti > make one such grand woman
as I have described how many thousands
would you want of those people who go in
the round of godlessness, and fashion, and
dissipation, distorting their body until in
their monstrosities they seem to outdo the
dromedary and hinpoi>otanius! going as far
toward disgraceful apparel as they dare go,
so ns not to bo arrested of tho jioiiee—their
liehaviour a sorrow to tho good and a cari
cature of the vicious, and an insult to that
God who made them women and not gor
gons; and tramping on, down through a
frivolous and dissipated life, to temporal
and eternal damnation.
O woman, with the lightning of your
soul, strike dead at your feet all these al
lnremonts to dissipation and to fashion.
Your inunortul soul cannot be fed iqsin
such garbage. God calls you up to empire
and dominion. Will you have it t O, give
to God your heart; give to God your best
energies: give to God all your culture; give
to God all your refinement; give yourself to
Him, for this world and the next. Boon all
these bright eves will be quenched, and
these voices will lie hushed. For tho last
time you will look upon tins fair earth.
Father’s hand. mother’s hand, sis
ter’s hand, child’s hand will be no
more in yours. It will Lie night,
and there will come up a cold
wind from the Jordan, and you must start.
Will it be a lone woman on a trackless
moor! Ah! no. Jesus will come up In that
hour and offer His hand, and He will say:
“You stood by Mo when you were well;
now I will not desert you when you are
sick.” One wave of His hand and the storm
will drop; and another wave of His hand
and midnight shall break into niidnoon;
and another wave of His hand and the
chamberlain*of Godwill comedown from
the treasure-houses of heaven, with robes
lustrous, blood-washed, and heaven-glinted,
in which you will array yourself for the
marriage supper of the And then
with Miriam, who struck the timbrel of the
lted Boa; and with Deborah, who led the
Lord’s host Into the fight; ami with Hnmiali,
who gave her Baimiel to the Lord; and with
M/iryi who rocked Jesus to sleep while there
were angels singing in the air; and with
Florence Nightingale, who Liound up the
buttle-wounds of the Crimea, you will from
the chalice of God drink to the soul’s
eternal rescue.
One twilight, after I had been playing
with the children for some time, I laid down
on the lounge to rest. The children said
play more. Children always want to play
more. And, half asleep and half awuke, I
seemed to dream this dream: It seemed to
me that I was in a far distant land—not
l’erxia, although more than oriental luxu
riance crowned the cities; nor the tropics,
although more than tropical fruitfulness
filled the gardens; nor Italy, although
more than Italian softness filled the afr.
And I wandered around, looking for
thorns and nettles, but I found none of
them grew there. And I walked forth
and I saw the sun rise, and I said:
“IVhen will it set again:” and tho sun sank
not. And 1 saw all the jieople in holiday
upiiarel, and 1 said: “When will they put,
on working-man’s garb again, and delve in
the mine, and swelter at the forge:” but
neither tiro garments nor the ratios did they
put off. And I wandered in the suburbs,
and I said: ‘‘Where do they bury the dead
of this great city ?" and I looked along by
the hills where it would lift must, lsuiutiful
for tlie dead to sleep, mid I saw castles, and
towns, and battlement*; but not a mauso
leum, nor monument, nor white
slab could I see. And I went
into the great chapel of the
town, and I said: “Where do the poor
worship? where are the lieneUes on which
they sit?” and a voice answered: “We have
no poor in this great city." And I wander
ed out. seeking to find the place where were
tlie hovels of the destitute: and 1 found
mansions of amber, and ivory, and cold,
but no tear did I see, or sigh hear. I was
bewildered; and I sat under the shadow of
a great tree, and I said: “What am I, aud
whence comes all this? And at. that moment
there came from among the leaves, skipping
up the flowery paths and across the siiark
ling waters, a very bright aud sparkling
group; and when 1 saw their step 1 knew it,
and when I heard their voices I thought I
know thorn; but their apparel was so dif
ferent from anything I laid over seen, 1
bowed, stranger to straugors. But after
awhile, when they clapped their hands and
shouted, “Welcome! welcomeP’ the mystery
was solved, and I saw that time had passed,
and that eternity had come, and that God
had gathered us up into a higher home; and
I said: “Are we all here?” and the voices
of innumerable generations answered: ‘.‘All
here;” and while tears of gladness were
raining down our cheeks, anil the branches
of the Lebanon cedars were chipping their
hands, and the towers of the groat city
wore chiming their welcome, wo begun to
laugh, and sing, and leap, ami shout:
"liome! Home! Home!”
Then I felt n child's hand on my face, and
it woke me. Tho children wanted to play
more. Children always want to play more.
GRACE HAWTHORNE IN LONDON.
A Young- American Girl’s Success as a
Theatrical Manager.
New York, Aug. 27.-— Miss Grace Haw
thorne, the young American dramatic art iste
who is astonishing London by her bold
managerial ventures, is a delicate blonde,
with large, soft gray eyes, slender figure
aud a voice at once melodious and powerful.
Her dramatic career extends over only some
five seasons, anil has been passed in the West
and on the Pacific coast. Tho success she
won before the critical audiences of San
Francisco was achieved by dint of pure in
tuitive genius, for she had never seen any of
the great actresses of the contemporaneous
stage; her personations, therefore, hail the
merit of entire originality. Circumstances
not offering tier a histrionic hearing in New
York at the time she desired, she determined
to make her London debut prior to that in
the great metropolis of America. Totally
inexperienced in managerial affairs, she ar
rived in London, and hearing that the
Olympic Theatre was for rent she impetu
ously took a lease of it without even having
seen tho inside of the premises. A lugubri
ous experience awaited her. As she was
moving in she met the ex-lessee, Mrs. Con
over (another American lady), moving out.
The latter faithfully recounted to the hor
rifl il former the total lack of success which
had attended her management of the
Olympic, resulting in a loss of $50,000. The
young actress wns naturally almost dis
heartened by the account of tho misfortunes
which her prislwessor had encountered, Imt
summoned all iter courage and made the
1 >cst of tho situation. She appeared in some
of her favorite roles before tho London
public, and her sympathetic voice and deli
cate lieauty won her great admiration at
once. She was universally conceded to
show signs of tho possession of great genius,
even if as yet she lacked tho technical ability
to carry out, to the fullest degree, her best
histrionic conceptions. Having thus ol>-
tumod a suitable dramatic hearing, Miss
Hawthorne was not unwilling, when op
jKirtuiiity offered, to resign the (ease of the
hitherto unfortunate Olympic Theatro, and
was able to transfer her proprietorship to
Miss Agnes Hewitt, an English actress,
whose dramatic career has hitherto been
much associated with that of the lute Mr.
Sotbern.
A holder venture than the first was now
decided on by Miss Hawthorne. By a skill
ful but honorable business movement, she
obtained the leseeeehip of the Princess, thus
leaving the powerful melodramatic actor,
Mr. Wilson Barrett, without a theatre iu
London. Kho holds a stx years lease of this
historic playhouse, and it is believed by
those who understand theatrical manage
ment in London that Miss Hawthorne isj
scsses the exart qualities which are requisite
to make a success of this important enter
prise. Young, good, pretty and "smart,”
the hearts of Americans are with her in her
various ventures, and in Miss Hawthorne’s
success Americans in London hope to show
an offset for Mrs. Brown-PoLter’s failure.

A GLIMPSE AT THE CROPS
THE WEATHER UNUSUALLY COOI*
EXCEPT NEAR HOME.
An Excess Over the Normal Rainfall
Reported in Most Parts of the Coun
try—A Reduction Expected in tha
Yield of Corn—The Cotton Crop
Shorter Than Was Expected.
VVashington, Aug. 28.—Following is tha
weather crop bulletin of the signal office
for the week ending Aug. 27: “During the
week ending Aug. 27 the weather has been
unusually cold in the central valleys and
lake region, and slightly colder in all tha
States on the Atlantic coast, except Florida
and Southern Georgia. In the corn region
the daily average temperature range.! from
8* to 12’ l>elow the normal, and in the
cotton and tobacco regions the dally
temperature was from 8’ to 5° colder
than usual. The daily average temperature
fbr the season from Jiui. 1 to Aug. 27 differ*
less than 1* from the normal in all the dis
tricts except from the lower Missouri Val
iev westward to the Rocky Mountains,
where the daily average temperature was
about 2° warmer than usual, and in tlie vi
cinity of Lake Bu|**rior, where the daily
temjierature has been from 2° to -4’ colder
than usual.
TP* RAINFALL.
“During the wis-k the rainfall has been in
excess in the Stab* on the Atlantic coast,
on the Eastern slope of the Rocky Moun
tains as far east as the Missouri valid I
Arkansas, anil from lake Erie westward to
lowa. Generally throughout, the tobacco
regions of Kentucky and Tennessee and in
the cotton region, tho rainfall has lieon less
than usual, but numerous showers have oc
curred in those districts.
“The large seasonal deficiency, exceeding
ten inches, continues in the Lower Missis
sippi vallev, and the greater portions of
lowa and Illinois, although this deficiency
lias lieen slightly reduced by the recent
rains in lown and Northern Illinois.
“During the past month over 1(10 pep
eent. of the usual amount of rain occurred!
in the district*on the Atlantic coast, and in
Nolaaska, Colorado, Southern Minnesota,
Norttiern lowa, Northern Kansas, Northern
Illinois, Southern Michigan and Northern
Indiana, while less than f>o per cent, of the
usual amount of rain has occurred in South
ern Illinois, Southern Missouri, Arkansas,,
and in the extreme Western portion* of
Kentucky and Tennessee.
“In the greater portion of the tobacco re
gions of Kentucky and Tennessee the rain
fall ha* exceeded 75 per ceut. of the usuoV
amount during the month.
GENERAL REMARKS.
“The reports indicate that the rains dur
ing the past and previous weeks
im vo doubtless proved favorable for
tho growing crops in the corn
regions, although in the principal
corn producing States the yield of this crop
will doubtless lie materially reduced, owing
to the drought.
“The reports from the cotton regions show
that tho harvesting of that crop is in
progress, but that the yield has been
slightly reduced, owing to deficiency of
rainfall.
“During the week the woather has been es
eially favorable for pasture and late planted
jKitatoe* in the Middle Atlantic Status, and
in tho Northwest.
“The reports from New England indi
cate that the weather has been unfa
vorable to growing crops, especially to
tobacco and potatoes, owing to tne excess of
rainfall.
“Frosts occurred during the week as far
South as central Minnesota, but as yet have
caused no material injury to the crop*.”
THE DRAMATIC SEASON.
It Opens With a Big List of Actor* on
Hand.
New York, Aug. 27.— The theatrical sea
son has started at lost. New York is so full
of actors tiiat Broadway looks like an ex
tension of the Rialto on Union square. I
sat at luncheon in the Gihey House y, sterday
and watched the actors as they paraded’
about in tens, hundreds and squadron*.
There seemed to I*' no end of them. A few
wore the conventional nttire of respectable
young business men, but the majority of
them rail to notable and uncouth extreme*
in tho matter of hair, check clothes, and
manners, particularly manners. The suavity
und polish of tho actors on the street would
have put a court of diplomatists to blush.
(locasionally one of the eminent men in tha
profession would drift nlong, followed by
tlie eager eyes of the lesser lights. Tom
Keene lounged amiably by with his hands
in the pockets of his stick coat. t He was tho
picture of ruddy and abounding health, hi*
eye was bright and there was not.the faiaft
cst trace of the tragedian about him. Oa
every side were stage notables. Most of
them were discussing the mystery which is
just now so dense urtiund the Fifth Avenue
Theatre. The house has for several year*
lieen under tho management of John Stet
son, a unique and shrewd business man
and a sturdy gambler in amusement
enterprises. This year he learned
suddenly that the theatre had been
let over his head and secretly to someone
else. Ho paid a rental or more than
$BO,OOO a year and it was not supposed that
a larger sum could be obtained. But tha
fact remained and everybody fell to won
dering who the mysterious newcomer was.
Gossip settled on Augustin Daly tor a time,
as he generally transacts his business in this
deep and sullen fashion. It was pointed out
that his present theatre was very old and
hardly large enough for his great suc
cesses, and that he had been partia
to the Fifth Avenue Theatre ever since ho
flrst hit the public’s fancy there with
“Pique" many years ago. But the Daly
story has given away before one that seem*
vastly more proliable. Harry Miner la
looked upon as the man. He hod a row
with Stetson a short time ago over the time
Mrs. Potter wanted at the Fifth Avenue,
and the row was never patched up. It Is
quite within the range of proiiabilitie*,
therefore, that Miner got the lease away
from Stetson and will manage the theatre
himself. It is Miner’s style. He is not sleepy
no matter what may lie said of him. Indi
cations are significant, though. Mr. Miner
is going the way of all speculator* in the
atricals. First it was Haverty, then the
Krohmon Brothers, Abbey, and Brooks, and
Dixon. .They all tried to run half a dozen
or more theatres and conqiaiiies, and in the
end they all came to grief. Miner is launch
ing out in every possible direction.
The season began with a magnificent spec
tacle at Nffilo’s Garden. Maurioe Barry
more plays "Lagadere” with great force and
energy. "With tho great setting that the
piece has it is surely In for a long run. New
ton Beers began the season at the Grand
()|iera House in “Alone in f/Oiidon." The
piece is mounted sui>erhlv and the scenic ef
fects startling, even in these days of great
stage carpenters and machinist*. The suc
cess of tlie piece is particularly notable, be
cause thc-re wo* no preliminary tooting of
horns. The prospects of an interesting wiu
ter. dramatically leaking, increase. 1$
looked almost hopeless a few weeks ago,
but now that the I*ll is rolling now pro*-
pects are constantly appearing.
