MEMORIAL day in EFFINGHAM.
Exercises That Gave Satisfaction and
Pleasure.
Guyton,GA, April 27.-Yesterday was
one of unusual interest in Guyton. The
Effingham Hussars came out in full uni
form. Col. W. W. Gordon and Maj. P. W.

town guests. They, together with Col.
K. J. Da van t, were escorted bv

moved to the cemetery. The largest
crowd ever assembled at the cemetery on
any similar occasion greeted the
distinguished visitors. The speaker of
the afternoon, W. W. Gordon, was intro
duced by Mayor A. E. Bird.
Cot. Gordon delivered a most touching
address. When he concluded many eves
were bedimmed with tears. He referred
a number (calling their names) of
Effingham’s soldiers who sacrificed their
lives on the field of battle.
Supper was served the Hussars and in
vited guests at the high school building
at 7 o’clock. The supper was a success
in every way.
By request of the ladies’ committee,
Maj. Meldrim presented to Capt. Morgan
a handsome cake.
In the evening the public assembled at
tne town hall to hear addresses from
Maj. Meldrim. Col, Gordon, and others.
Maj. Meldrim’s address was a treat, and
fully enjoyed by all present. Col. Gordon
made some of the most practical remarks
concerning the military that have ever
been delivered here. At the conclusion,
recruits for the Hussars were called for.
Twelve names were enrolled in a short
time.
The day was an extremely pleasant one
to all.

A SERPENT FOR A GARTER
Mrs. Schmidt Yelled, Reached For Her
Knee and the Snake Fell Out.
From the Philadelphia Inquirer.
New York, April 24.—Quite recovered
from her thrilling experience, Mrs. Re
gina Schmidt is receiving the admiration
of shuddering bevies of women friends to
day for her rare presence of mind and
marked heroism as she tells of how her
shapely ankle was squeezed b.v a coiling
reptile last evening in a Third avenue
cable car, and hoiv she calmly lifted her
skirts and shooK off the serpent's clasp so
that the gripman of car 46 could kill it.
The people in the car tell it differently.
They say that as car 46 stopped at
Twenty-ninth street on the way up town
there was a piercing shriek, followed by
agonizing cries for help, and a plump and
pretty young woman suddenly threw one
dainty shoe out before her, pulled up her
skirts and then yelled.
There was a live garter just above her
shoe top. The young woman cried:
"Take it off. someone!”
Before the oldest man in the car could
reach the frightened Mrs. Schmidt the
garter had wriggled off to the floor of the
car.
The gripman had heard someone yell
that a boa constrictor was loose in the
car. Ho rushed in with one of his levers
and crushed the life out of the serpent.
It was a garter snake, probably just in
from the country in a farmer's basket of
garden truck, It >vas a foot long and as
thick as Mrs. Regina Schmidt’s dimpled
little finger, but it was big enough to
create a sensation.
At an evening party Dumley was intro
duced to a young lady, nnd after a re
mark about the weather, he said gal
lantly: "And have I really the pleasure
of seeing the beautiful Miss Blossom,
whose praises are being sounded by every
body!” "Oh, no, Mr. Dumley.” the lady
replied; “the beautiful Miss Blossom to
whom you refer is a cousin of mine.”
“Oh, that’s it. I thought there must be
a mistake somewhere,” said the gallant
Dumley.—-Tit-Bits.

Famous Scandal in Which Lord Rose
bery’s Father Was the Injured Hus
band.
Froift a London Letter.
To be prime minister and win the derby
are the two greatest achievements an
Englishman can accomplish. Lord Rose
bery is prime minister, and if he has not
yet won the derby, he has won the heart
aDd hand of a fair flower of royalty—the
Princess Maud, of Wales. The reported
engagement of the prime minister to the
second youngest daughter of the Prince
of Wales has naturally caused general
gossip, and some of the many exciting ep
isodes in the domestic history of the
Primrose family are being recalled in
social circles, although not mentioned
in the public press. It is, however,
only those versed in the fam
ily history of the British aristocracy
who fully understood the reference
recently made b.v a witty and wicked
Irish 1-arnellite member of* parliament to
Lord Rosebery, the successor of Glad
stone, when he spoke of "The Primroses
that bloom in Kensington Gardens.” i'hi
reference was to the famous scandal in
the Primrose, or Rosebery family, in the
years 1813-14, when Lord Rosebery pro
cured a divorce from the countess, his
wife, and a judgment for £15,000 against
Sir Hem-y Mild may, the co-respondent in
the case, who was also a brother-in-law.
Kensington Gardens was one of the
[ meeting places of Sir Henry and the
Countess, after the former had been for
bidden to call at the Kosebery house. The
damages in the ease were the heaviest
that had ever been obtained in England
ub to that time. In the famous case of
Lord Richard Grosvenor against William
Henry, Duke of Cumberland, brother to
George 111., for the seduction of Lady
Grosvenor, in 1770, the judgment was only
for £lO,OOO.
The Rosebery-Mildmay case was an ex
traordinary one, typically illustrating the
RECKLESS G.iLLAXTRY
Of the times. The infatuation between
Sir Henry Mildmay and the countess was
of the most blind and headlong kind, and,
notwithstanding all the disguises the
hero assumed, or all the excuses the low
impassioned countess could invent, the
slightest gleam of common sense would
have told them that they could not possi
bty escape detection in a lonely Scotch
castle, with a suspicious and watchful
old mother-in-law, the Dowager Countess
of Roseberry, playing the detective, and
Hon. Primrose, the youngest son of the
family, ready to do all the shadowing and
investigation.
On May -0, ISOB, Lord Rosebery, then
Viscount Primrose, and grandfather of
the present nremier of Great Britain, as
successor to William E. Gladstone, was
married to Harriet, daughter of Hon. Mr.
Bauverie. In the following year Sir
Henry Mildmay married the eldest sister
of Lady Rosebery, and his younger
brother. Paulet Mildmay, married another
sister. These family connections neces
sarily produced a great intimacy between
Sir Henry Mildmay and Lord Rosebery’s
family, and on the death of Lady Mild
may. in 1810, Sir Henry remained with the
lioseberys for some time, daily receiving
from them those affectionate attentions
best calculated to alleviate his grief for
the loss he had sustained. Lord and Lady
Rosebery were then said to be living in the
most uninterrupted stale of domestic hap
piness, and Lady Rosebery’s conduct as
wife and mother was admirable.
A change in her couduct w.is first no
ticed by her mother-in-law, the Dowager
Countess of Rosebery. This was toward
the end of the year 1813, when she ob
served herdaughter-in-law advocate prin
ciples inconsistent with her domestic du
aes, as well as with her previous ex
mplary behavior. The Dowager Coun
tess,
WHILE HORRIFIED
At lady Rosebery’s loose views of wifely
duties, still did not strongly suspect any
thing wrong in her conduct. On March
I, ISI4. Lord Rosebery left London for
Scotland upon the occasion of his father's
i.lness. The father died and Lord Kose
,iery was detained in Scotland for some
time. He then returned to London and
remained for three months. It was at
.Ins time that several letters passed be
tween Sir Henry Mildma.v and Lady
Rosebery, which were subsequently pro
duced in actions for divorce and criminal
conversation brought by Lord Rosebery,
i hey wei’e interpreted by the court as
showing unduo intimacy, as they were
couched in terms of the warmest affec
tion and portrayed the feelings of Sir
Henry in the most impassioned language.
At this time Sir Henry and Lady Rose
bery were in the habit of meeting in Ken
sington Hardens, and the progress of this
intimacy produced in the lady a great in
difference of behavior toward her hus
band, so much so that Lord Rosebery
, ould uot, fail to notice it. He remon
strated with the lady, and subsequently
forbade Sir Henry his house. But love
always finds the way, and Sir Henry and
Lady Harriet found many opportunities
of meeting. Lord Rosebery, seeing he
ould not break up the intimacy while the
familv remained in London, determined
to withdraw from the city. Letters from
Sir Henr.v, afterward produced in the
trials that fallowed, expr. ssed tho great
est uneasiness about tho withdrawal from
London, and conjured Ladv Rosebery, if
possible, to avert it; and if they did with
draw, expressed his determination to
follow in disguise. Lord Rosebery, how
ever. did withdraw to his seat in Norfolk
and afterward to another seat in Scotland.
Sir Henry did follow in disguise as Col.
Do Grey. He took up his abode at an inn
in the neighborhood of Lord Rosebery's
place. He allowed his beard and whiskers
to grow and otherwise
DIKOriSEI) UTM3EI.P.
The watchful old dowauer countess had
her suspicions fully aroused, and did not
tail to notice that Lady Rosebery had
adopted a practice heretofore unusual to
her. that of taking lonely walks h.v her
self, rejecting the proffered company of
the mother-in-law. Lord Rosebery’s
family at this time consisted of himself,
the countess, the dowager countess, and
his brother,, the Hon. Mr. Primrose, be
sides occasional visitors. They usually
dined at 6 o'clock. Tho ladies retired
about 7 o’clock, and were joined by tho
gentlemen about 9 o’clock. Lady Rose
■>ery usually made some excuse for
leaving her mother-in-law, and then she
retired to a suite of rooms on tho
ground floor of one of the wines
of the building. This suite con
sisted of a library, anteroom, bedroom,
called the red bedroom, dressing room
and some others, all communicating with
ea h other, and with the windows looking
out upon a terrace. Just below this ter
race was a leaden cistern, by means of
which it was not difficult to * ascend the
terrace and enter these rooms by anv of
the windows. This situation seemed
fairly safe to such ardent lovers, as there
were means of hiding and getting away.
But tho old dowager was as keen and
watchful as only one woman can be of an
other. One evening she observed a* man
descend from a window and walk off.
This fact she communicated to Hon Mr.
Primrose. The discovery soon followed,
and it was as sensational as anything in
an old melodrama. One evening, about
ten minutes after Lady Rosebery had re
tired as usual, Mr. Primrose. w'ith some
of the servants, repaired to the doors of
the bedroom, which he found fastened.
An effort was made to force one, of the
doors open, and. as it was evident they
were determined to succeed, Lady Rose
bery herself opened it. Sir Henry,
dressed in a large blue jacket and trotis
ers, a red waistcoat, covered with a pro
fusion of pearl buttons, and holding
A BRACE OP HORSE PISTOLS
In his hands, stood by the side of the bed.
His beard and whiskers were much grown,
and his appearance altogether so much
altered that Primrose did not at first rec
ognize him. The handkerchief which
Lady Koseberry had worn around her
neck at dinner was dff and her gown un
pinned. The scene was an intensely ex
citing one. as may be imagined.
Sir Henry stood by the side of the bed
with his brace of pistols raised ready to
lire, while Mr. Primrose called on a serv
ant to go and fetch him his pistols. Lady
Kosebery expressed great contrition, put
the blame on herself alone, and bent
all her endeavors toward preventing a
deadly combat between the men. On her
besoechment. Sir Henry Mildmay was
finally prevailed upon to retire through
the window by which he had entered.
Lord Rosebery did not see his lady after
ward. He delivered her writing desk to
Mr. Primrose, whodiscovered in it a large
number of incriminating letters, produced
afterward in court. Lady Rosebery re
mained in the house that night, but took
her departure in the early morning, and
was joined by her lover, the pair proceed
ing to London, and sleeping together the
following night in an inn on the road.
The pair took up their residence at Sir
Henry's house, in Lower Hrook street,
where they resided for some time, and
then repaired to the continent.
An action was brought by Imrd Rose
bery against Sir Henry Mildmay, who
suffered judgment to go by default, and a
verdict for £15,G00 damages was returned
against him on the execution of a writ
of inquiry. On the trial, which is one of
the famous one. Sir VV. Scott, counsel for
Lord Rosebery, recapitulated the circum
stances of the case, and said it certainly
was but a poor conifiensation to the in
jured husband to grant him all that was
within the power of the court to grant,
namely, that he be divorced, and that the
co-respondent be punished in heavy dam
ages.
Counsel for Lady Rosebery admitted
that it it was impossible for them to offer
any observations to resist the effect of
the evidence, which they therefore left
to the impartial consideration of the
court, The sentence of the court was au
absolute divorce in favor of Lord Hose-,
ber.y and a judgment for him of £15,000
against Mildmay.
Sir Henry and the Countess were mar
ried on the continent, and the King of
Wurtemborg, who had somewhat pecu
liar ideas himself on marriage, legitima
tized, or rather recognized the marriage
as legal. The couple lived together \ erv
happily for many years and had several
children, one of whom, at least, be ame
prominent. This is Capt. Edmund Mild
ma.y, who inaugurated the Wimbledon
shooting range, and was aide-de-camp to
the duke of Cambridge for many years. j
A WONDERFUL INVENTION.
Latitude, Longitude and Compass Er
rors Dstermined by Lieut. Beehler’s
Solarometer.
From the New York Herald.
Washington, April 22.—Lieut. W. H.
Beehler, of the navy, has made an official
report of tho Secretary of the Navy upon
the test to his solarometer in a twenty
nine days' voyage at sea on board one of
the North German Lloyd steamers, sail
ing between Baltimore und Germany. In
this voyage he demonstrated the practical
success of the instrument in determining
the vessel’s latitude, longitude and com
pass errors by observations of the sun,
moon and stars whenever visible, inde
pendent of the invisibility of the sea hori
zon. and without elaborate calculations.
On the return vovage the constant
level base was found to be a decided suc
cess The vessel was light and iivtiie suc
cession of gales encountered she rolled
heavily and deep. The only difficulty ex
perienced in the use of tlie instrument
was due to the effect of the wind blow
ing directly on it at times. In rolling the
screen ebased to give a lee to the instru
ment. and when the wiud was blowing
fresh toward it. it was diffieult and often
impossible to make observations A house
has boon designed, however, which will
ampiv protect the observer and the in
strument from the wind and sea, and en
able observations to be taken without
difficulty.
MIGHT HAVE SAVED THE KEARSAROE.
When one of the German steamers
sails on her next voyage the new house
will be installed on board and the entire
course of the ship in crossing will lie
navigated by the new instrument. The
instrument is designed to afford a means
of determining a vessel’s position and
compass errors at ail times during the
day and night, if the sun or any star is
visible, and all errors due to unexpected
currents drifting to leeward, and magnetic
action upon the compass will be avoided.
The solarometer will enable a ship to
keep on the shortest route, save time in
ocean averages and contribute to her
safety.
The navy is much interested in the in
vention of Lieut. Beehler, and a num
ber of officers believe that had one of
these instruments been on board the
Kearsarge the ill fated vessel would not
have gone on Koneador,
A GREAT ARMOR TEST.
The navy’s largest gun will be used
this week in an attack on the thickest
armor vet tired at in this country. It
will be an acceptance test of armor for
the battle ships. Armor piefeing Car
penter projectiles will be used in the 13-
inch gun, two shots being lived at differ
ent velocities, and if the second shot does
not pierce the armor with ease ordnance
officers will be greatly surprised. The
plate is from the Bethlehem works, and
has been put in place at Indian Head. A
new brand of prismatic powder has been
received with which greater velocities
are expected to be ootained than at the
first tost with a different brand some
weeks ago.
Tne plate ie eighteeen inrhos thick and
represents a lot of one-half of the Indi
ana’s side armor, or about 350 tons. It is
of nickel steel and is treated with the
Harvey process. The first projectile will
be fired with a velocity of 1,460 ffeet per
second aud the se, ond with a velocity of
about I.SOO. The lower velocity will
probably not cause penetration, but in
the second there seems to be no doubt of
the shot going clean through. There is
interest manifested in the manner the
projectile will stand the force of its terri
ble impact with armor of this thickness.
The blow delivered by the higher ve
locity shot is about 25,000 foot tons, or
more than sufficient to lift the Indiana a
foot and a half in the water.
Ants Wearing the Green.
From the St. Louis Globe-Democrat.
“I once witnessed an interesting but
peculiar spectacle in animal life, but one
which I have never boon able to account
for.” remarked Abraham R. Glvehs, of
Brenhatn, Tex. “I was going homo just
nightfall over a sandy road, when I no
ticed directly in front of nto what ap
peared to he a long lino of groeu ribbon
about one-half an inch thick. I stopped
to examine it, and, to my astonishment,
found that it was a procession of ants,
marching three or four abreast, in very
close order, each one carrying a little
piece of a green leaf. The effect was a
continuous line of green without any
break. I went back to find the beginning,
but, as it issued from the grass at tbo
roadside l was unable to trace it further
in that direction. I then followed it for
several rods, until entered the grass oil
the other side aud was lost to signt.
Whether it was Palm Sunday or St. l'at

A non t six months go toy littls son, ogefl
Uree, was very much troubled with a breaking
mi ou his scalp and behind his ear. The places
fleeted were about as large as a silver dollar,
he flesb seemed raw ami covered with little
blisters. The child suffered considerably, an' 1
was naturally very fretful. I tried severafrcine
lias without obtaining any beneficial results
ip fact tile eruptions seemed to be spreading
ml new places breaking out. X concluded
to try the Cuticuua Remedies, and bought
•• box of CUTlct iiA, a cako of Cb’TICL'BA SOAl',
mda bottle of Cuticura Resolven t. 1 washed
ihu effected parts with the CCTICtmA Soar
faking < aro not to irritate the flesh, and appllei
'(•TICtntA. I noticed a change for the (letter ip
he appearance of the eruptions in twenty-foul
hours. I continued the treatment morning and
night, and lu two weeks the eruptions entirely
disappeared, leaving the skin smooth and th'
"alp clean, in fact a perfect cure, as 1 have no
seen j.iy indications of any eruption or in calcic
out since. I gave die child only a few doses
the Cutiopba Resolvent. I consider you
OimotiKA Remedies very valuable, and expect
to keep a small supply constantly on hand. 1
believe CnnctißA would be excellent for apply
ing to insect bites, which are very annoying h
this country. C. A. ARMSTRONG,
