Newspaper Page Text2 NEEDS OF OUR VETERANS GOV. GORDON SENDS A. MESSAGE TO THE LEGISLATURE. Important Modifications in tbe Pres ent Law Recommended—An Attempt to Prohibit the Publication of exec utive Session Proceedings Fails— Several New Bills Introduced in Each House. Atlanta, Ga., July 18.—The governor sent the following message to the general assembly to-day on a timely topic: To the Senai? and House *tf Representatives: The experience of tbe executive department Id the admioistration of the law extending ai.l to disabled ex-confederat* 1 indue ,s me to suggest some amendment of the statutes Up to this tim** pay intuits for this year have been made to g,49G applicants, amounting to an aggregate sum of $154./*io. m iers are apply ing, and many more will doubtless allowed. The department has been compelled by the terms of the la.v to refuse a large number of applicants whose proofs did not meet the requirements of the statute. In many instances these applicants were not ine ito rious and tar more necessitous than some whose cases came distinctly within the provisions of tbe law. buch cases have tax ♦ 1 tue eeu*;uili tcs of those charged w.th tue *xecnti>>n of the act to a decree which can only te appreciated by those who have witnessed tne disappoint ment and distr*ss of applicants who, confi dently believ ng in tbe justic* of th ir claims upon the state, have been necessarily turned away without its bouny. Charged with its administration, I am im pressed with the belief that the restrictive o.auses of toe present iaw exclude from its beuefits many who richly deserve the state's benefaction. I am therefore im|H.*ll*d ova commanding sense of duty to earnestly recom mend such amendment inthisiegard as both gratitude aud honor deniand, and as you. in your wisdom, may deem it prop* rto naet. Although a quarter of a century < f stirring and momentous events has passed since they laid down their arms, you have not forgotten, nor will you forgot, that host of groat he rted men who rallied at the call of ih* state and lost in her service tne pow rof self-support. The wide spread desolation wrought by t ho war prevented, for a time, any adequate provision by the slat* for her maimed and disabled neroes. hut thanks to a benignant Providence an I the re cuperative energies of her pe ple, Georgia is no longer unable to discharge in some degree, at least, her obligations to tne men who so bravely responded to her summons nud have so patiently awaited for emiie proper recognition of their services au I sufferings. But there is another class -the widows and orphans of our d**al soldiers -who have been deprived both of their natural protectors and the means of support, and wh *66 cases are therefore commended withs ecial emphasis to your thoughtful consideration and sense of justice. Inasmuch as an amendment, to the constitution will he necessary t< bring them within the purview of the statute's provision, I respectfully and most earn* *tly urge the pres ent general assembly t > inaugurate this move ment without delay. It requires no argument to establish the justice of Urn claims. Inability to pay has hitherto been the stale's justifies tion. Tbits inability no longer exists, consid ering tbe state's available and convertible as sets, her public debt is nothing. Let us then prepare to discharge without further postpone ruent this debt of honor, as sacred an obliga tion as ever rested upon an enlightened and Christian people. J. B. Gordon. In the Senate Some of the senators don't like the way the newspapers have of publishing the pro ceeding of executive sessions, and to-day Mr. Lyle introduced a resolution that reporters who publish any facts, no matter how obtained, of proceedings in ex ecutive session shall l-o denied the privileges of the floor.

Baltimore, July 15.—The farm of Joshua Warfield, brother of Edwin Warfield, sur veyor of the port of Baltimore, located near Florence, Howard county, was tue see eof a remarkable fre ik of lightning during the prevalence of t e storm on S it day. Three horses were killed aid eigut men stun ed. Seeing the storm approach ing, Mr. Warfieid directed his men at work in a field to seek shelter. Tue horses were tied, and fourteen men got under the threshing machine, which stood by a straw stack. Some six ot ers got under the wagons, ihe lightning kill’d those horses u iprotected by the straw stack, aud of the me i eiglr were stunned. Mr. Warfield fortunately aroused them, and they were saved from being burned, as thestrawstack iiad caught lire.

And Not Otherwise Does Slumber Come to Mrs. Shaffer. Prom the St. Louie Republic. Findlay, 0., July 10.—Amo g the queer pe pie in this part of the world is Mrs. Ann S-mPTer, familiarly known as “Aunt Ann.’’ Sue lives on a farm with her husband about ten miles from this city, is almost 70 years old, and in full possession of all her facul ties. Her chief peculiarity—for she has a number—is that she cannot sieeo unless her husbapd beats a drum in front of the hou-e for at least an hour; and summer and win ter, ni/ut after night, the roll of old Jacob Shaffer’s drum can be heard by the ueigh b ts for miles around, as he leads the charge which ids wife is making into dreamland. He has a snare drum which he made for j himself during the early years of the war, aud as he was inca aoitated fr im going into 1 the army by reason of physical disabilities, he did wnat he could tor the country by acting as the drummer for a company of “Home Guards’’ whicb drilled in his neigh borhood. It was during this period that his wife first developed her strange mania. Being of a highly nervous temperament, and much wroug.it up over the war, she could not sleep at night unless her husband was awake. As he was not permitted to sleep u til his wife ad first jou neyed into tue realms of slumb r, lie put in the lime prac ticing upon nis drum. In this way “Aunt Ann’ grew into the habit of falling asleep to the systematic mm.c of the drum, and soon it ecaine a nee -ssity. She could not sleep wituout its solacing sound, and thus the \ears have gone on, every night the same. About 8 u’c.ock U. cie Jacob gets out his drum and g es to work as if he were leading the charge on a battery, and then gradually and ops into slower and more sojth iug music until at the end of an hour's steady beating he feels convinced his wife is s jund asleep, i hen he puts aside his sleep-producer and joins tne partner of his j 'ys aud sorrows on her excursions into slumber land. 35 1 his peculiarity of llrs. Shaffer is now so o. a t dug that it no longer excites coni ine it from any one but strangers. The old couple have but o:.o child, 1 daughter, who is married and lives iu I idiana. A year or two ago Mr. and Mrs. Snaffer paid her a visit and took tbedrum along, and it is said they created a great seusation in the quiet neighborhood in which the daughter lives the first night or two after they arrived, through thisernzo of th > old lady. The neighbors hoard someone boati .g the long roll on the drum and other startdng meas ures, and imagined anew war had suddenly broken out and that tho call to arms had come. There was much excitement until the matter was explained, aud then the Hooaiers, who were getting ready “to put down rebellion again,” quieted themselves and accepted t he situation. The Shaffers have a nice farm and are in good circumstances, and barring this drum peculi ii ity are (pile, people aud good neighbors, botn husband and wife belong ing to tno Methodist churca. CARRIED A SEIRE r TO HI3 GRAVE. Death of the Only Man Who Knew How to Mike Aluminum from Clay. Prom the New YorK World. Findlay, 0., July 15. —The manager of the American Aluminum Company, Fred J. Seymour, died in this city last Friday, and the secret of making aluminum died with him. He was the inventor of pro cesses by which this valuable metal could be profitably extracted from common clay, and had put his inventions into practical use. About four years ago, as the result of years of experiments, F. J. Seymour, then a citizen of Detroit, secured patents cover ing processes for the manufacture of alumi num. Ho had little difficulty in inducing capital to take hold of the enterprise, and the American Aluminum Company was organized, with Gen. Russell A. Alger as president, and Senator Palmer of Mic igan as vice president. The discovery of natural gas in tuis city caused the li cation of the la oral ones here. Expensive retorts and valuablo maehi iery were constructed, ad the manufacture was begun ou a large scale, and proved so successful that large quantities of the metal were placed up >u the market at a large profit on the invest mi' t. The process, although patented in nearly all of its poults, has been kept a religious societ, and no one has ever been permitted te |"Mio rate the mystery surrounding i . A 15-foct picket fence su rounds the build ings, with its gates doutny padlocked. From rem rks made by the cuemists aud other emp.oyes at d.ffereut time., it is gathered th .t tue clay, after being ground in water and treated with various chemicals, is treated to a heat of 1,500” in large retorts, uuiil it has become thoroughly fused. When it has reached the crowning tem perature, the precious me al is separated from the m ss by the addition of a certain cnemical iu specific quantities, but tho na o and nature of this chemical is not disclosed in the letters patent, nor has any one employed about the works ever discovered it. It is this secret that has gone down into the grave witn F. J. Seymour. It had ben ms invariable cus to n to await tne critical moment when tho fluid mass had reached the right stage, and aud ttieu all the oruployes were excluded from tue room, tho doors were locked and, ail al >ne, he went through the mysterious processes of thelahora ory, adding a chemi cal that no oue knows tue name of, has never seen, and in quantities that cannot even t o guessed at. His death catno as the result of a paralytic stroke, from wtiich he never recovered c luscious c *, so that o.i his deathbed lie had no opp utunity of re vealing the all-important secret. The st ckholders of the company are undeter mined w hat to do under tne peculiar ci. cum stances in wuicu they are p.aced, but will p. obably give some of their chemists full scope to endeavor to rediscover the lost secret. 18 HE THE OLDEST LIVING MAN? Nagy Ferencz, a Hungarian Peasant. Who Was Born 121 Years Ago. Prom the New York Sun. The oldest man iu the civilized world, it may be said wuk reasonable s . fetv, is Nagy Ferencz, a pea ant iu Bares, Hungary. He was born in Hedia .ely, 121 years ago uext September, tie passed tus boynood on tho little farm of his pareuts. Ils was not an especially robust cuild. Hecojldnot haul and split wood, p.tch nay, aa l tame colts, as could his three strapping brothers, who died naif a century ago. His father re garded him with disfavor, because he was too weak to do more t..an a peasant wom a .’s work, and did not earn e.iougu to pay for cis fo. and. At tue age of 19, however, Nagy suddenly developed into a puenome nadv muscular man. His chest widened, his arm. aud legs hardened, and his girth increased. He became a famous local wrestler, and did more work in a day than most peasants near Hodraheiy did in two. Just 100 years ago last May he fell in love with the daughter of an inukeepsr. She promised to marry him on July 31, 1759. Two day -, before tue marriage day she jilted ui.n for his best fnead. Since then Nagy has been a woman hater. He never loved another woman. Four years later he went to the war of t efi st coalition. For the twenty succeed ing years o was almost constantly under arms, in camp or oaths battlefield. He was one of the victors under Archduke Carl of Austria at Wetzlar a:i i one of the va..qiu hod at Marengo and Hohen.indon. He Helped the archduke win the vict ry of Asper , aud he did his frost to save the Aus trians from d.-feat at i\ ugra u. O i tre second day of the battle at L vipsic he got a bul.et ia uis leg, and th ee more in his hat. He saw the Archduke Carl many ti ues. He saw Napole. n once ad B ucher once. Nagy’s bovhxid was lived long before the dars of compulsory education, go he never learned to keen a diary or write memoirs. He has an immense fund of an ecdote, however, which is at tbe service of any one with a liaif hour to spare at Bare*. Tbe children of the town have h ard fr >m him every week for man v years tne stories of the famous charges, retreats, siege*, and campaigns ia w. jen be has par.icipated. The great event of his life, he thi ks, was his attendance at the funeral of his dead queen, Maria Theresa, IC9 years ago. Al though but 12 years old then, he has treas ured up for more than a century every de tail of the procession and burial. Nsgy Fere icz is penniless, but he is notja beggar nor a public charg •. Jftscore or more of families in Bares a e ready to give him food, c!o hing, ands miter. He takes all his meals with sev.-n families, whom he has known for fifty years. Eacn one enter- Tams him one day in the week. Bet ween mea • he walks from house o house, chat ting with all meu and children whom he meets. He rarely talks with women, he has not forgotten that young woman who jilted him one century ago this month. After each meal he smoke, a pipeful of strong tobacco. He has been smoking three pipefuls of strong tobacco every day for the last 104 years. He is fond of hl wine aud an ccasional beer. The friends with whom he dines give him every day 10 cents with which to buy totiacco and liquor. Altogether Nagv Ferencz is a sturdy, con tented, amiable old man. His health is good. Hii mnd is fairly clear. He has plenty of f. ie ds and all the money he wants for smoking aud drinking. He looks as well and happy as he is. He has clear dark eyes, clean-cut re.v'ar features, and a smooth bronzed skin. He has a bushy head of white hair and a heavy white ma tache. He is erect aid quick iu his movements. He is scrupulously neat ii his person. He looks to be aboutTO or 75 years old. SHE STOOPED TO REVENGES. A Lover’s Lesson That Was Taught In a Theater Box. New York Dispatch to Boston Herald. A thoroughly good lesson was taught by a girl friend of mine to her fiance a few days ago. I admire it because lam aware of ti e manner in which many of the young men of the present day imagine they can treat the girl whom they ask to become a wife. It is a by far too common custom for men to keep up their indiscretions and dissipations long after they apparently re nounce all but the trusting heart, and the way in which my friend set an example to combat that habit is something to be proud of, provided, of course, you are ■willing to overlook the heroic methods resorted to. Let us call the girl Marie. She has been at her summer home ou the Hudson for the past month. Her intended husband—whom we will designate as Dick—is a lawyer of high standing, and he has insisted that since his sweetheart has left the city he has been occupied so con tinually that to visit her, except on Sun days, was out of the quostion. A few days ago a callow and loquacious youth was at her summer home, jm i, among other things, he let drop the inf rmation that Dick was having a pretty high old time in the city just, now. “Indeed,” said Marie, “what do you call a good time, pray?” “Well, it is a good time, I suppose, to trot about with the prettiest girl in the Folly Opera Company.” That wa* enough for my bright little friend. Within two days she had the whole situation mapped out for her. Sne ent to the city and called on a cousin of hers, a fellow who thought a good deal of her, and would serve her in any way she would re quire. She learned that on a certain night of that week, Dick and his friend were to occupy a box together at a theater. "Now, I want you to invite some men of the same character as the woman he will have with him.” said Marie to her cousiG. “Some men that he knows by sight.” The cousin proposed, among others, a dealer of a I'aro hank and a middle weight pr ze fighter, with whom he knew Dick was familiar. She iiegged that both of these me should tie dressed as well as possible, and it was agreed that she should sit with them in the box exactly opp site Dick’s, while the obliging cousin should station himself out of sight behind tho curtains. Everything progressed most delight fully. When Dick, in company with his blonde friend, and another young fellow who had charge of a big brunette lady, entered his box his features were ornamented by a fine, satisfied smile. Tne party got itself com fortably ensconced, and then Mario and her escorts appeared in the opposite box. Tne beautiful girl took her chair with an air of complete placidity, and every now and then turned to direct a smiliDg remark to the faro-dealer or to the prize lignter. About two minutes later Dick dashed into her box, his face white with anger and his fists clenched. “In heaven’s name, Marie, what does this mean i” he cried. She raised her eyes to his in surprise. “Why, how d’ye do, Dick,” she said, languidly. “I was just trying to make out if that was you over there with thatcharm ing blonde chorus girl.” “Send these men away,” gasped Dick. “Not until yo i sen : tuose women away,” replied Marie, with exasperating calmness. Marie had won a great victory. Dick ex cused himself from the actresses and left the theater with Marie, taking her to the house of a friend, where she was stopping. There was a complete understanding be tween the two. The engagement was partly broken. Dick is at present on probation, and his regrets are so genuine, and he seems so anxious to be worthy of the girl who had f Tinerly trusted him, that I think he will win her back again before many weeks. At any rate, the breaking of the engage ment is not to he formally announced. Rev. Dr. Thirdly—ls not vour bill rather high, Dr. Diagnose? Dr. Diagnose—Yes; but I have scriptural authority for making it high, and you. as aclergyman, should not object. “Ah, I am not* aware of such authority.” “I will recall the passage to you. It reads: ‘Physician, heel thyself.’" —Life. Tom —They say your wife’s hearing is so acute that she can hear the grass growing. Is it really sol Charles (reflectively)—Well, hardly that. But I believe she can hear the beanstalk and th * lark-pur. — Pittsburg Bulletin. MEDICAL.

They sustain ail the claims made for them.”—W. A. Westfall. M. D.. V. P. Austin & N. W. R. R. Cos., Burnet,Texas. “Ayer’s Pills keep my stomach and liver in perfect condition. Five years ago I was afflicted with enlargement of the liver and with a severe form of dys pepsia, most, of the time being unable to retain any solid food on my stomach. I finally began to take Ayer's Pills, and after using only three boxes of these magical pellets, was a well man.”— Lucius Alexander, Marblehead, Mass. If you have Sick Headache, Constipa tion, Indigestion, or Piles, try Ayer’s Pills, PBErABKD BY Dr J. C. Ayer it Cos., Lowell, Mass. Bold by All Druggists and Dealers in Medicine. MEETINGS.
