In this'country (a remarkable fact and demonstrating the wear and tear of official poeiUqn) there are three widows who occupied the white house, and one other. Mrs. Harrison, who married ex- President Harrison after his term of of fice expired. 4 Mrs. Grant. Mrs. Garfield. Mrs. Cleve land and Mrs. McKinley survived the strain of political life and are living in comfort and luxury, with a pension to the widows of IE.MO per annum, and with ele gant homes and fortunes beside for each of them This government has been exceedingly generous to the wives of deceased ex-' presidents. There is a bill before congress to pension Mrs. Harrison, and as these pensions are gratuities, there is no reason that I see why the gratuity shall not be extended to Mrs. Harrison. Mrs. Grant and her daughter. Mrs. Sar toris. live in Washington city. Mrs. Gar field in her Ohio home, and also Mrs. Me-. Kinley. Mrs. Harrison lives in Indianap olis. General Garfield and his wife were both school teachers in early life, and Mrs. McKinley assisted her father in his bank when a young lady. Mrs. Harrison was a niece of the first wife of General Benjamin Harrison, and his children were said to be violently op posed to the stepmother. Mrs. Grant was in comfortable circum stances when she married a poor soldier, and their early married life was one of strain and privation. But the run of good fortune became marvelous in after years. No man, ex cept General Washington, ever had hon ors poured upon him like those accorded to General Grant. The close of the civil war made him almost omnipotent in the affairs of the nation. It speaks well for General Grant that he did not abuse the confidence of his admir ers by assuming the authority of military dictator. He might have done so, and a less honorable man would have grasped the prise And history will write him down as a great ruler as well as soldier, because he did not abuse the adoring confidence of his admirers. He was not a learned man. or educated in the arts of statesmanship when he was made president, and he had around him a class of men who were ready to do his will absolutely. This country owes him a debt of grati tude that he did as well as he did. and kept his good sense under the frantic sttWin of abolition desire to put the ne gro above the white man in the south. He had a narrow and thorny path to trav el amid sectional prejudices and the pas sions of civil war; and it is remarkable that he kept the negro to his place as well as he did. and yet retained his sup pert and admiration. Mrs. Grant was a loyal help-meet for her husband, and she did enjoy her op portunities. Some people criticised her because she said she regretted to leave the white house, because they had been eight happy years to her. She simply spoke the trutg. and I ad mired her honesty and plain speaking. There were some years afterward when her life was not so free from care, be cause General Grant fell among thieves and they swindled him of his money and betrayed his trust in supposed friendship, and imde his last days bitter with finan cial anxiety, at well as suffering. His wue was brave, as well as loyal, and now her last days are comfortable tn ease and luxury. Mrs. McKinley's invalidism brought out her husband's tender solicitude for her. Everybody supposed the shock of his death would k.. her. but she has done remarkably well under the circumstances. Mrs. Hayes I knew more about, and ad mired most of all presidents' wives, doubt less for that reason. She was a crown jewel among women. Mr*. Cleveland's admirers speak in rap turous vones of her gracious tact and wonderful magnetism and excellence. May she live long, and may her dear children be-all to her that a fond mother's heart can wish. Uneasy Lies the Head That Wears the Crown. The young king of Spain, still in his teens, will hare a thorny road to travel, if the foes of his race and order can plant the thorns as they desire in his pathway. . It seemed a pity the fatherless boy could not pass his coronation day with out somebody's effort to assassinate him. He is a gentle, well-bred boy. and bis mother is a discreet woman and a good mother as well. Alphonso yould seem to be one of the most harmless of the order of kings, yet the youth must have been ’terribly shocked at the bold attempt to take his life the day the crown of Spain was put on bis young head with its many burdens. The Emperor Franc's Joseph, of Aus tria. has narrowly escaped a deadly bomb also. Youth and age fare alike over the water, when king-killers are in evidence. The empress was killed by an assassin a few short months ago and the husband may be thankful if he can die in his bed. for the chances are he will die with his boots on If they are not blown off his feet when his end comes. The signs of the times are certainly ominous. Emperors, kings and presidents should use considerable money to pro vide insurance against death by violence, for they are open targets for the assas * sin's dirk and bomb. I expect King Edward has some qualms of fear, himself. If I stood In his shoes I certainly would not boast myself of tomorrow under these existing circum stances. It seems to be tempting danger, and the pomp and glitter of his coronation day wtir not be an equivalent for the risk he 7 or Soap— r PEAR.L- J «< , IPEArCnE I 11 ■ regain I is WKSte.

The uneas/ head under the crown would be better off to make a private affair of this extraordinary boast of supreme au thority. The coming display in the streets of London may have a very tragic side to It before it is concluded. A more pru dent man would consider these contingen cies and ask himself If this two-penny game is worth the candle. The czar of Russia, who is Queen Al exandra's nephew. Is not likely to place his valuable anatomy in such an exposed position, and Kaiser William will doubt less appear by proxy, although he is also nephew to King Edward. In reading of the blatant program for the English king's coronation the build ing of the tower of Babel comes into my mind. It has been shown to be very easy to upset boastful plans and propo sals when the spirit of man becomes too proud and haughty for his proximity to disaster. When one remembers the suddenness with which death appears in many of these vain parades, and the mania that exists for picking off these elevated dig nitaries, the anxiety must be even more than considerable in undertaking a coro nation venture of this sort. There is substantial comfort tn being little and unknown, when mediocrity rep resents comparative safety, while promo tion is placed side by side with menacing daagers. A living dog is that much better than a dead Hon. The peasant that goes to sleep without fear in his cabin is that much happier than the sovereign who is startled at the rustling of every leaf or the report of every gun In his vicinity. It seems to be an unhealthy era for monarchs and the head that wears the crown takes his life In his hand when he attempts to glorify his ambition by di recting attention to the Insecurity of his own existence. f „ - Moonshiner* and Cost to This Country. The figures in cash I have no opportunity to get. but the word comes that North East Georgia is being largely depopulated by the vigors of the Internal revenue de partment. Men have been carried to jail so often and the impoverished mountain eers have been forced to pay fines, until they prefer to pull up and go somewhere else. Years ago. when I had an opportunity to examine figures, the immense amount of money collected by the deputy marshals was nearly all paid out to maintain the service* and the deputies. ■lt grew into a* great big trust, where hordes of favored officials made a hand some living for themselves, and chased the poor moonshiner to the very jumping off place; and the Federal court swarmed from one court term to another with prisoners and witnesses. And if all the false swearing had been barrelled up it Is more than likely that a bonded warehouse could not begin to pack away the oaths, with the paper they were written on. The little distiller is made a criminal while the big distillery makes the nation bow down in admiration—because these mammoth concerns can name congress men. governors and legislators, and pay a lobby wherever their business is re viewed or endangered by legislation. » It all grows out of the combination with the big manufacturers in the making of intoxicants. a . z All these court trials .these* wretched Imprisonments, these impoverished moun ts! nhomes, grow nut of this big trust or combination with the government. While the little distiller can pay neither fine or license and therefore goes to jail, the big concerns shape legislation by means of their paid agents who are elected to politi cal offices, until they make an enormous clear profit. What the government de mands from the active partner In the whiskey business, vis. its percentage, is the bribe. These fat fellows roll in wealth, while the government stamps out the poor little moonshiner who believes down in the bottom of his heart that he has as good a right to make a bushel of corn into whiskey as the great Kentucky and Illinois distilleries. And I believe it too. The partnership, which the govern ment entered Into, by which the big dis tilleries could make millionaire fortunes, is a disgrace to the civilisation of this era. And it is a crowning pity that the hardy mountaineer should be driven from his native soil that a swarm of deputy mar shals shall draw immense pay from the government to hunt him down. The big fish are eating up the little ones. That is all there is to it. Telephones and Country Newspaper*. In many farming districts of the west the telephone is superseding the newspaper in some directions. They have what they call a “news service." At a certain hour in the evening—7 o’clock usually—the central operator calls up its subscribers and reads off to them the news of the day. The right time to set clocks is given, then\the weather quota tions for next day. Market quotations.are also given, and f*r away states know the prices in great centres like New York. News from Washington on national subjects is then read out without com ment. Twenty minutes is occupied, then the farm people can begin to talk again. If this program is kept up, and it is more than likely it will continue, then the farmers will know everything as soon as the oailies get it and generally a week I ahead of the local papers. These changes are rapid. People used to do immense business by writing letters. Now they use the long distance telephone or the {telegraph or ocean cable. | People used to wait for the weekly pa ser and read columns of a speech made -y some dignitary. Now the substance, {the point, the pith is wired by the Asso ciated Press and the whole thing is done and over with, in a little while. Old-fashioned things are too slow. The demand is for quick reports—must have them. Daily papers will run oft three or four editions to cgter to this desire for quick news. Even they are forestalled in elec tion or war times. An Immense sheet or blank'space on a big wall is made into a bulletin board and the news is thrown thereon in giant letters that a multitude may read as they run. or run as they read. Rural mall routes are doing away with country postoffices. Telephones are getting ahead of country newspapers. The news must be served hot, like bat ter cakes. Alfalfa or Lucerne. This forage plant is winning such great favor with western farmers that our southern farmers should give It a thor ough test or trial. It needs a loose mellow soil, and the roots are said to penetrate to extraord , inary depths after it gets a start. It is readily eaten by all stock and is reported to be super-excellent for raising hogs and Pig*- The land should be prepared with great care as alfalfa needs only to be well set at the start to stand for years without re-sowing. This is one of its prime ex cellencies. Clover in southern fields must be turned under every few years and the roots are easily destroyed by long droughts. Lucerne needs moisture, but when the soil will permit, the searching roots go down aner the moisture. * It is fine on irrigated western prairie land. Its roots grow to mammoth size under favorable conditions. THE FEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL. ATLANTA, GEORGIA, THURSDAY, JUNE 5. 1002. MUSSOLINO, ITALIAN BANDIT, ON TRIAL FOR 11 MURDERS Brigand Tells With Seeming Sincerity of a Celestial Visitor Who Showed Him How to Break Through the Stone Walls of Hin Prison. L’SSOLINO, the most picturesque bandit who ever lived, has pre pared his memoirs and sold them to a publisher at the higest price M ever paid in Europe for manuscript. He received $20,000 in money and will be given 20 per cent royalty upon the sales of the book. Even Victor Hugo, who was as sharp as any author dared to be. never drove a harder bargain. Though he was given as much cash for one or two of his books as Mussolino has received, Hugo never had the audacity to ask for a roy alty in addition. But, then, Mussolino's fame knows no equal Iq. all of Italy. He has committed thirty murders, every one of them fair and with the victim alone to blame, he says. Eleven oT these victims were the judge, prosecutor and jurors who had convicted him unjustly, the bandit asserts, of a minor crime. All were notified far in advance that they were to be slain, and each killing was brought off On schedule time. Never in his life, though, did this aston ishing assassin rob an individual, and not one of his victims was a member of the lower classes. So the peasantry, par ticularly the women, came to love him. They helped him to find the most inac cessible hiding places .n the mountains and gave him warning when the soldiers, of whom a brigade was always employed in tne search, were near. For months at a time this Fra Diavolo had no food other than that carried to him by these per sons. He was driven from one fastness to another. At one time, attired as a monk, he talked with the soldiers who were in pursuit of him, offering to take commis sions from the officers. Finally, betrayed by his peculiar accent, he was captured and confined in the strongest prison In Italy. Even there it was feared his friends would reach and rescue him. Every Ital ian peasant who can read will buy one of Mussolino's books, even should he be obliged to mortgage his little cot to ob tain the money. Mussolino is now on trial at Lucca, Italy, for the killing of the judge, the prosecutor and the nine jurors. This court is located far from the scene of the band it’s crimes, for were the trial to be held near by. Mussolino’s friends would swoop down and set him free. Then the search, which lasted for years and cost dozens of lives, wsuld have to begin all over again. Throughout the troubles Mussolino's sweetheart has ever been upon his mind. He was grieved at his Inability to marry her. She was willing to become his wife, despite the price upon his head, but the bandit, ever gallant, declared he could not conscientiously wed until his killings had beqn justified? The brigand opens his astonishing book with this broad statement: “I have killed many, but never knifed anybody from, be hind hia back. My murders, so-called, were duels—each man had a chance to fight for his life, whether he deserved it or not. And I never robbed a living soul, never laid hands on the weak. “Expatriation and banishment robbed r of the sweetest joy of life—woman’s love. I might have attained that happi ness, but at the price of virtue. It would have been infamous of me to accept a woman’s love while a fugitive from jus t.ce, a wanderer on the face of the earth. “Dvrlng Christmas night I dreamed I was standing at the brink of a great precipice, while a strange voice whispered behind toy back. Turning, I saw a tall figure that spoke as follows: ‘Whit are your thoughts, toy son?’ “ ‘I am thinking of my troubles, and whether there is an unhappier man In the wide, wide world. And it pains me to think that animals act more honorably than most men. Thousands would be ready to murder me If I moved from this place.’ “Thereupon the spectral body said: 'As long as there is life there is hope, Musso -llno. Pray to God and He will succor you.’ •”1 made answer: 'I don’t believe In spirits,’ whereupon the stranger said: •You will believe in me when I tell you that you shall,depart from this place and take revenge on your enemies.’ “Next morning, when I told my cell mate of what had happened, he laughed and called me a but I said: ’lt’s .worth working for, anyhow. I will try to break through the wall at the very spot where the spectre appeared. If I succeed CURES GOITRE.

Next thing I knew I was looking into the barrels of his rifle. ’Stop!’ I thun- Reminiscenses of a Day At the Front With Gen. Johnston BY MRS. JOSEPH H. MORGAN. 'IE following Is another of the series of papers of reminiscences several of which have already been published in The Journal, T which have recently been read before the Atlanta Chapter, Daughters of the Confederacy: In the early part of 1864, while General Johnson’s army was In winter quarters, in and around Dalton, Ga., the corps commanders decided that to relieve the monotony of camp life and keep the trocfrs in fighting trim for the spring cam paign, they* would have a sham battle, and invite some of their friends to come up from Atlanta and adjacent places to see the maneuver. t It is a wonder that we who were so familiar with the dally reports of the brave deeds and fighting qualities of the dauntless heroes who had fought such memorable battles as Lookout Mountain, Chickamauga and Missionary Ridge, against an overwhelming army of welt fed and superbly equipped soldiers, should accept this invitation with eager delight. A happy and enthusiastic party of young folk, well chaperoned, left early one morning on the old “State road,” now better Known as the Western and Atlan tic. for the "front.” In this party were Miss Gussie Hill. (Mrs. Joseph Thomp son). Miss Ella Ezzard, (Mrs. Robert An derson), Miss Eugenia H. Goode, (Mrs. Joseph H. Morgan). Miss Amanthus Cockrlll, of Nashville. Tenn., and other young ladies? who were either refugees or the guests of friends In Atlanta. They were lo be the guests of the different generals stationed in and around Dalton. Miss Cockrell and myself were met on our arrival by cur host and hostess, Gen eral and Mrs. Brown, and were given a very cordial reception by them, and also the members of his staff. General Brown's headquarters were admirably sit uated at the Thornton place, on a hill overlooking the battlefield, pn which the two army corps, under command of Gen erals H od and Hardee, were to wage battle with blank cartridges, on the fol lowing day. The afternoon and evening were delight fully spent in receiving our army friends, and making pleasant acquaintances with the many officers and soldiers who called. Owing to the limited accommodations at General Brown's headquarters. Mrs. Brown shared her room with us. An army cot was brought in, and each de sired the honor of sleeping on a regular soldier's cot. It fell to my lot to be the fortunate one to whom it was assigned. I little thought that In my Inexperience in adjusting myrelf to it the cot would play me a trick by fcollaphlng, and in fall ing on the bare floor, make so much nols' as to disturb men In the quarters, and General Brown, who rushed up to In quire the cause of the racket. As the day had been so full of excite ment and novel experiences out of the usual routine of an ante-bellum young girl, we were fatigued and did not, as young girli usually do. have a long chat, but —ere soon sound asleep. The Writer trusts that a little personal of herself will be excused. She was at that time engaged to an officer then stationea at Cartersville, and her trying to pass through that town without his knowing It was the cause of an amus ing Incident that occasioned much teas ing a id fun. Next morning, at the peep of day, we were aroused by a knock at the door, and Mrs. Brown arose and Inquired what was wanted. The orderly replied he had a letter. In the dim light, she thought it was for l«iss Cockrell, whom we knew to be engaged to General Strahl, stationed near Dalton. So It was handed to her, as Mrs. Brown proceeded to light the tallow dip. I. In the tired and sleepy tone of one who has been aroused from dered, ’if you care to eat another meal. Mussolino’s gun never fails, but yours might.’ That made Him drop his rifle. He fell on the ground, put his arms around my knees and begged for his life. I said: ‘You richly deserve death, but I will take pity on your six children. You shall live, carrying a souvenir of Mussolino around with you.’ And I ordered him to stand against a tree, while I retired a hundred paces and peppered his legs with bird shot.” This is Mussolino’s report on the shoot ing of one of his many victims among the soldiery: “The fellow had sent one bul let past my ears and was about to shoot again, when I cried: ‘For the love of God. let me pass! Don’t shoot. I am not going to hurt you!’ In answer I heard the whlx xlng of a second bullet. ‘Don’t*force me to kill you!’ I pleaded again. > “Pshaw! the fellow wore a uniform and had to do his duty. I much regret his death. When I think of his father and mother I feel like crying. Ah! I haven’t forgotten that I burled my parents! “True It is, I killed Sarazena. He was a spy, a despicable tool of the police. I killed him face to face, as I did Romeo Cesare*. As to tfie story that I ambushed these men—l would blush to defend myself against so vile an accusation, or against the other that I robbed the body of Zoc cali of money. Such Infamous fabrica tions enrage Mussolino, but cannot tar nish his reputation.” • • • The author of the remarkable book calmly admits the dozen or more mur ders laid at his door, and at the same time shoulders the entire responsibility for all unlawful acts committed by his band of four accomplices. "They were Mussoli no’s tools, bound to him by oath and firm ly believing In my heavenly mission,” says the brigand. a sweet morning slumber, said I shouldn’t allow my beau to wake me up so early in the morning with a love letter. By this time the candle had been lighted, which enabled Miss Cockrell to reaa the auaress. Turning, she said to me, with the sweetest and moot amused tone of voice, “Miss Goode, it is your love letter, not mine!”’ My feelings can be better imagined than expressed. The instigator of all this agitation was Major Morgan, then on duty at Cartersville. He had learned through Dr. Charles Pinckney, a surgeon on his staff, that a young, lady he was greatly Interested .n had gone up to ~e suam fight. Naturally it was much easier for him to transact his official business at that time, so he decided to go up on the early morning train, re connoiter, and see if what he had been told was true, and upon finding his in formation was correct, sent me this early message, apprising me of his presence. It was too good a joke on me for Miss Cockrell to keep, and, as they say on the stage, “the laugh was on me.” The teasing and embarrassment at the break fast table that followed my facetious remark was so great that I never knew what our meal consisted of that morning. The day began bright and beautiful. The reveille calls from all the camps could be heard far and The Home Guards and ladies who had never seen a battle wore eager for the fray. The picture is “the army In gray.”' The bugles begin to sound the assembly, drums to beat, and each regiment passes In review to -Ls allotted position. Aides and couriers could be seen dashing here and there, carrying orders to different generals. The line of battle forms, skir mishers are deployed, and then driven back. Regiments and battalions advance, the “cannon to the right and to the' left volley wind thunder.” Column after column advances, firing and retreating, ’in all this wild confusion, the eye glances to the right" of the line of battle, where can be seen the intrepid General Wheeler, directing his columns of cavalry,’ on the flank of the enemf. Now he charges and captures a battery. Every now and then above the dih can be heard thg bands playing the soul-stirring Dixld.and a mighty shout goes'.up. The southern war ory or rebel yell, is heard, and the battle is fully on.* Our hearts beat with pride and enthusiasm ever these gallant heroes, whose uniforms showed the wear and tear of many hard fought ’/battles, and the winter s exposure. We realize that a sham battle is unlike a real one, for before they marc., on the field, their plac£ and what they must do has been decided, and which side will be victorious. If a scene like this is so awe-inspiring, how terrible It must be to be an eye witness to the awful carnage of a real battle. .hese veteran soldiers who were so ac customed to the terrors of war seemed to enter into the spin- of the occasion, and thoroughly enjoy the sham fight, we, the vis.iors, surrounded by friends and gallant officers, who paid us that delicate attention and courtesy for which the southern gentleman has always been noted, had a perfect day and one long to be remembered. In me midst of our ’enjoyment and congratulatory greetings to our soldier friends, a cavalry officer, superbly mounted, who had been in the fight, came dashing up and he was at once recognized as our gallant General Wheeler. We young ladies were more than desirous of meeting this famous of ficer. General Brown brought him at once and presented him to us. The sub ordinate officers stepped back and left the field to General Wheeler. Thej' knew he was not a carpet knight and he would not say the gallant and compjlftientary speeches we had been hearing from them all day.
