MOVEMENT WAS STARTED
HE session of the convention
which took Georgia out of the
uniop met on January 16, 186 L
in Milledgevilla, and adjourned
T
pn March 23, IMI. This convention held
•open” session. But a ••secret" session
was held in Savannah. begin Whig on
Blarch 2. 1861, and adjourned also sine die
on March 3. istt.
The journal containing the proceedings
Os both conventions I am fortunate in
owning, and a hundred years from now
ft will be a valuable volume to the his
torian.
Governor Brown issued a proclamation
tm November □. 1861. and the delegates
elected from the various counties met at
the time appointed. •
Mr. Styles, of Ware, nominated Hon.
Henry L. Benntng as chairman, and Ar
thur Hood. Esq., was appointed secre
tary. . I
Rev. Mr. Williamson. of the county of
■Telfair, opened the session with prayer.
On the motion of Hull (Asbury Hull),
Hon. George W. Crawford was chosen
president by acclamation. Messrs. Hull.
Alexander Stephens and Kenan were ap
pointed a committee to notify Mr. Craw
ford, to request his acceptance and con
duct him to the chair. Albert R. Damar,
of the county of Muscogee, was Elected
Secretary on the third ballot. Jesse Oslin.
of Cobb, was appointed as messenger, and
William Atkins, doorkeeper. Mr. Fouche,
of Floyd, was chairman of the committee
on rules, the other two members being
B. H. Hill, of Troup, and Clarke (R. H.).
of Dougherty.
On motion of Mr. Bartow (Francis 8.).
It was unanimously resolved that one of
rules of this convention shall
be we suppression of all applause or oth
er onl’y demonstrations during or follow
ing she remarks of any delegate.
Hon. James L. Orr. commissioner from
South Carolina, and Hon. John G. Short
er, the conjmlssibner from Alabama, were
In waiting and at noon both addressed the
convention. After their addresses, on the
snotion of Hon. A. H. Stephens, they ad
journed until next day. when Hon. E. A.
Nisbet offered his secession resolution.
Hon. Herschel V. Johnson offered his sub
stitute and then the battle raged. When
the vote wa< recorded there were 166 with
Mr. Nisbet and 130 with Mr. Johnson.
Nisbet. Hull, Cobb. Benning. Colquitt,
Hansell and others voted for immediate
Recession and Johnson. B. H. Hill. Mc-
Daniel. Stephens, (both A. H. and Unton),
all the Smiths, four in number, one each
from Charlton, DeKalb, Talbot and oth
ers. voted to go slow and consider the
chances before the leap wag made.
The Immediate secessionists won the
day. and a committee of seven
teen was appointed to report an ordinance
to assert the right and fulfill the obliga
tion of the state of Georgia to secede from
she union..
It is interesting to recall the names of
the seventeen selected by the of
the convention to lead Georgia out of the
Union. They were Nisbet. Toombs. Her-
Bchel V. Johnson, Bartow. A. H. Steph
ens. Benntng. Williamson. of Telfair;
Brown of Marion; Hill, of Harris; Rice.
Hill, of Troup: Trippe, of Cass; Chastain,
of Fannin; Cobb (T. R. R-). Colquitt,
Kenan, of Baldwin and Reese, of Morgan.
Os these Johnson. A. H. Stephens. Will
iamson. Brown, of Marlon; Hill, of Har
ris; Hill, of Troup: Trippe and Kenan
voted against the Nisbet resolution—eight
out of seventeen. Hiram V. arner voted
•gainst also, but he* was left off the com
mittee. ditto N. M. Crawford, of Greene,
who stood so high in Georgia in later
years.
The men who were most active for se
cession were Toombs. Bartow, Tom Cobb,
Benning. Colquitt and Reese, with Nisbet
on the committee of seventeen.
It was General Toombs who introduced
the resolution "approving the patriotic
•nd energetic work of Governor Brown in
taking possession of Fort Pulaski.” ?
' Mr. Martin, of Lumpkin. raised a
breeze by calling for the full vote of each
county and each delegate in the conven
tion; but it was defeated by 168 nays to
327 ayes.
There was only a majority of between
B 6 and 40 that carried the* state out of the
union, because the vote on the Nisbet
resolution was the test vote. and the
defeat of the resolution to count the vote
in each county and for each delegate
was carried by the same men with the aid
of five more.
It is interesting to note the five who
Voted against secession, but also to de
feat the call for the count. Davis, of Put
nam; Farias, of Dade; Phinixy, of Mon
roe; Teasly and Waterhouse.
When the vote to secede was pending,
Mr. B. H. Hill, of Troup, moved to sub
stitute Herschel V. Johnson’s plan, rath
er than the majority report of the seven
teen. of which Mr. Hill wai a member,
and in this way he dissented to the re
port of the committee, but he lost his
resolution, nays. 164; yeas. 133.
It is also Interesting to note the division
In the committee, for Johnson of Jeffer
son, A. H. Stephens Williamson. Brown
of Marion. Hill of Harris. Hill of Troup,
Trippe and Kenan, all voted together.
When the "ordinance of secession ' was
put on its passage there were, yeas. 208;
nays, 89.. The president voting affirma
tivcOy, and a majority of 113. In a total
vote of JJ7.
If a two-thlrßs vote had been required
there wcuid have been but twenty votes
to sparer and if those who went ovfer to
the majority on the final vote had re
mained! firm, a two-thirds »vote would
never have been reached.
The debate on the Nisbet and Johnson
resolutions, when Messrs. Nisbet, Cobb,
Toombs. Reese and Bartow spoke on one
side and Herschel V. Johnson and Alexan
der Stephens and B. H. Hill spoke on the
other was a discussion that every Geor
gian should know and remember.
When I read those speeches and know,
ns I do now. what was involved tn the
issues of civil war. it makes one melan
choly to recall the time and occasion
when Georgia went out of the union in
evident haste and excitement.
But the fatalistic idea of "what has to
be, will be.” seems to harmonize with the
madness of the hour.
Hon.’Charles Murphy, a delegate from
DeKalb, died while the convention was
In session.
Georgia appointed commissioners to ap
pear at various states in the south, those
which had not seceded, and the list ap
pears as follows:
Virginia—Henry L. Benning, of Musco
gee.
Maryland—A. R. Wright, of Richmond.
Kentucky—Henry R. Jackson, of Cha
tham.
Tennessee—H. R. Bell, of Forsyth.
.Missouri—L. J. Glenn, of Fulton.
Arkansas—D. P. Hill, of Harris.
Delaware—D. C. Campbell, of Baldwin.
North Carolina—Samuel Hale, of Ma
con.
Louisiana—W. J. Vason. Richmond.
Texas—J. W. A. Sanford, of Baldwin.
There' was a resolution adopted which
xead thus:
"That all members of this convention.
Including those who voted against said
ordinance, as well as those who voted
for it, will sign the same as a pledge of
the unanimous determination of this con
vention to sustain and defend the state
in this her chosen remedy, with all its
responsibilities and consequences, without
regard to individual approval or disap
proval of its adoption."
How Barnum Advertised Jenny Lind.
Jenny Lind was the first of the world’s
great singers to come to the United States
for a tour of the principal cities of this
country. P. T. Barnum the incomparable
showman, engaged the “Swedish Nightin
gale” at fabulous prices, and he intended
to make his money back.
He knew the public mind was greatly ex
cited over her coming to America. He
believed if he could work up Che ticket
buyers into a frenzy the excitement would
be greatly increased and tickets would
sell like hot cakes. New York had a fa
mous batter, John N. Genin, whose hats
ranked as Stetson's have done In later
years. Mr. Barnum with the shrewdness
for which he was ever famous, went to
Mr. Genin and told him to buy the first
ticket sold at public outcry and Genin’s
hats would run an even race with Jenny
Lind’s songs. Mr. Genin saw the point
and promised to keep the promise a dead
secret.
Mr. Barnum now set to work to get
someone to bid against Mr. Genin. He
went to Dr. Brandreth, the great pill
maker. and who had made his fortune by
advertising. Mr. Barnum pledge Dr.
Brandreth to secrecy. He explatiated on
the good he could do the pill business by
buying the first ticket. "Buy that first
ticket, Brandreth. and every newspaper
In America and Europe will announce that
the maker of the celebrated Brandreth
pills secured the first Jenny Lind ticket
at 350 or SIOO. as the case may be. Dr.
Brandreth smole a smile when he remark
ed: “A pretty good thing for you. Bar
num. If you sell tickets at that price."
“Os course, doctor, it would be a good
thing for me. but a much better one for
you."
Before Mr. Barnum retired Dr. Brand
reth agreed to send his cashier to the
auction and put in a liberal bid. How
many others were visited and pledged to
secrecy the record does not show, but Sep.
tember 7, 1850. fifty-two years ago’, three
thousand people assembled in Castle
Garden, New York, to attend the sale of
Jenny Lind tickets, which were to be
sold to the highest bidder. An admlsion
fee of 121-2 cents was charged by the
Castle Garden authorities for entering
the inclosure. Brandreth's cashier and
Genin's agent were there, neither suppos
ing the other knew what he was intending
to do on that occasion.
The auctioneer understood his business.
“Gentlemen,” he said, "I am going to
offer you the first choice of a seat with
the privilege of ten seats at the same
price, for the first concert in America of
the world-renowned Swedish nightingale.
Mlle. Jenny Lind. Now, what am I of
fered?” - •
After a little silence Dr. Brandreth’s
cashier said “Twenty-five dollars." “Fif
ty dollars,” said another voice. ” “Seven
ty-five." “One hundred."
Genin’s man - cried “one hundred and
fifty." “Two hundred" came like a clap
of thunder. »
“Two hundred and twenty-five,” cried
Genin's man.
And it was knocked down to Genin, who
instructed his man to bld a thousaqd rath
er than lose it.
Dr. Brandreth limited his man to S2OO,
or it would have gone, to the thousand. It
made Genin’s fortune. The Doctor said
he would have done well had he bid 35.0C0,
as it was a first-class advertisement, but
he lost it.
What do You do When Horse Is Sick?
During the war, when we were refu
gees, we were obliged to haul all the corn
used to make a crop abqut 20 miles and
were glad to get it then. When we “ske
daddled” out of North Georgia in front
of General Sherman the Confederates’
gave vouchers for corn that they seized, to
support the armies on the march. We
had .some of these vouchers and felt very
comfortable in having something
would get corn. "Tkx tn kind” was re
ceived from the owners of plantations,
and corn that was turned over as tax to
the Confederate government was used or
sold or exchanged for these vouchers.
We had a large family, black and white,
to support, and a wagon went once a
week and oftener to the plgce where no
railroads reached, and gathered in corn.
One night the wagon did not come in as
usual. We were much afraid something
serious had happened and the loss of a
team and corn would be decidedly se
rious. We sat up waiting. Some time
between midnight and day the driver rode
into the yard on a mule and reported the
mate (a black horse) down sick, about a
mile from the home.
He did dot know what ailed the horse
he said. The night was dark and rainy,
and while the driver was waking up some
help, we began to cast about for some
thing to carry along to drench the sick
horse. We had sweet milk and surghum
syrup, but we wanted something for a
laxative. I heated a pint of lard and sent
it along, because we were scarce, very
scarce of medicines at that period of our
history, and then nobody knew what
ailed the horse. (I still have a sneaking
notion that it was more hungry than
otherwise.)
About daylight they got the horse home
and tn default of something else to do.
we gave another cup of warm lard. By
dinner time "Black” was able to get up
and pick about a little.
Ever since when a hirrse or mule gets
sick and we are in doubt, we make a
point of giving it some lard, on the prin
ciple that it may do good; ’anyhow, it
won’t do harm.
Some people give kerosene oil, some beat
up eggs and make a drench, but a bad
case of colic needs morphine, followed by
ar-.foetida, a tablespoonful in a pint of
hot water.
Rubbing is a good remedy and a change
of food is always worth trying.
I feel so much sympathy for a sick horse
that I am very busy during such a sick
spell.
Everybody that uses horses and mules
should keep some efficient remedies In the
house, sucu as turpentine, asafoetlda.
epsom salts and ginger. Don’t forget
a ong-necktd quart bottle In your prep
arations, because it Is perplexing to chase
around for a drenching bottle when the
case is a bad one and the horse is rolling
in pain.
Unless it Is an epidemic like blind stag
gers we doctor faithfully In a desire to
relieve the suffering animal as well as
save its life.
I believe in mules for farm work be
cause they are tougher and less Hable to
get sick than horses, for It does hurt to
see a fine horse sicken and die as It too
often happens.
Spiced Grapes.
Press the skins from the grapes and
press pulp through a colander. Put the
skins In and weigh. To every seven
pounds of grapes add one cup of vine
gar, cinnamon to taste, cloves and three
and one half pounds of sugar. Boil until
thick and bottle. Damsal plums are nice
also.
Somewhat Similar.

ADELINA PATTI
IS RENEWING
HER YOUTH
The Secret: Great Diva
Never Worries and Never
' Gets Exceed.
a •
Chicago Tribune.
WHEN I read In the papers that
Mme. Adelina Patti was going
to sing at Albert ’hall I went
out straightway and bought
seats. I had not heard Mme. tatti since
she sang In opera at the old Academy of
Music, New York, supported by the long
since dead and gone Nicollni. That was
in , but why give ddtes? It was too
long ago for one to be particular about
such details. I am sure that Mme. Patti
would rather not have me recall the year.
And here was Patti—the real flesh and
blood and no ghost—going to sing again.
There was no Nicollni this time, but a
brand new young husband, whose name
was published in brackets under her
more famous one: ’

(|) (I) (|) (|) (!) (|) (|) (|) (|) (|) (I)
To the present generation the name of
Adelina Patti is what that of Jenny
Lind was to a generation past. When I
told a young American girl that I was
going to hear Mme. Patti sing she looked
at me aghast. “Patti sing! I thought that
she was dead and burled ages ago.” To
prove thfit she was alive and singing I
took the young American girl to the con
cert with me. To my great delight Mme.
Patti gave her old familiar repertoire.
She first sang Diva,” with
“Volche sapeta” as an encore. Then the
jewel song from Faust with “Within a
Mlle of Edinboro Town” as an encore.
Then “The Last Rose of Summer,”
"Home, Sweet Home” and ‘Cornin’ Thro’
the Rye.”
No one can truthfully say that Mme.
Patti’s voice fs as fresh today as it was
30 years ago, but every one must admit
that it is marvelous, considering her age,
for she has turned 60. As for- her style
and method, they are unimpaired. ft
seemed to me as though her songs had
been arranged for a lower key than of
old, but I may be mistaken. Her trills
were liquid and brilliant as far as they
went, but, the famous one, "None, they
say, have I,” was much shortened. Do
you remember that trill? And then the
way, later, that she played with the”rye"
as a kitten with a ball, tossing it higher
and higher, rolling and turning, till it
finally ended In a big. round gurgle and
then came to an end. It was in the sim
pler things that Mme. Patti was
best—“ The Last Rose "of Summer” and
"Home. Sweet Home,” and the enormous
audience that filled Albert hall arose to
these and gave her an ovation.
As far as manner and appearance go
Mme. Patti was as young and coquettish
as ever. She was dressed In pale yellow
with a "picture hat” perched upon her
black and curling hair. To have seen her
running airily up the Inclined plane that
leads to the platform of Albert hall, bow
ing gayly to right and left, you would not
have given her a day more than 20. She
Js a wonderful woman, is Mme. Patti. I
doubt If any prima donna of today will
have such a record of song. Fortunately
for her she has never torn her voice with
Wagner’s music. Grand as that music is
It is death to any but German voices, and
even they cannot long withstand Its
strain. Patti has confined herself to Ital
ian operas and English ballads. Since
she was so small that she had to stand
upon a table Jo be seen, she has been
singing In public, and before that she
played the violin in an orchestra of which
her father was the conductor. Notwith
standing her long life before the public,
she shows few signs of wear and tear,
because her life has been made easy for
her. She has always had some one to
stand between her and all worry. She
Is never allowed to be excited. Louisa
Loew, the companion of fourteen years,
after her quarrel with Mme. Patti pub
lished the story of her life to the world.
It was not all a pretty song, particularly
the part relating to Nicollni, but It was
undoubtedly true. Mme. Patti has been
treated more or less like a valuable race
horse. Her food, her exercise, her rest, all
are looked after by specialists, and have
been for years. An article published re
cently in a London paper tells a different
story. It says she “eats what she likes,
she lives as she likes, she takes exercise
as she chooses, and has no physician in
attendance.” She has no nerves. If this
be true times have changed. When she
was last in New York she had her own
cook, her own doctor, and her own physi
cal attendant. As for nerves, she had
them all over her body. She seldom ven
tured outside of her hotel, and when she
did she drove In a closed carriage and
stuffed cotton in her ears to keep the cold
out.
Mme. Patti has not yet succeeded in
selling Cralg-y-Nos, her Welsh castle, and
■he still spends the most of her time there.
The place has cost her a fortune and It
takes a fortune to run it. Like every

Indications as mucous patches in the mouth,
sore throat, copper colored spots, chancres, ul
cerations on the body and In hundreds of cases
where the hair and eyebrows had fallen out
and the whole skin was a mass of bolls, pimples
and ulcers, this wonderful specific has com
pletely changed the whole body into clean, per

William McGrath, 48 Gullford street., Buf

where a year ago I was a total wreck. Several
doctors had failed to cure me of syphilis. I was
rid of my sores and my skin become smooth and
natural In two weeks, and after completing the
treatment there was not a sore or pimple on
my body, and today I am absolutely well.”
Every railroad running into Fort Wayne

Do not hesitate to write at once and the free
trial plbkage will be sent sealed In plain

prima donna that ever was born, Mme.
Patti loves the country. It Is, of course,
the contrast to the excitement of their
public life that makes singers and actors
eager for the peace and quiet of green
fields.
I say again, Mme. Patti Is a wonderful
woman, and it Is still a genuine pleasure
to hear her sing. I would much rather
hear her, even though her voice may have
lost some of its freshness, than most of
the famous singers of the day. Pattis are
born, not made, and she still sings with all
her old time grace and charm. The young
girl alluded to at the beginning at this
letter was enchanted. “I feel,” she said,
turning to me, “as you might have felt
if you had been taken to hear Jenny
Lind." “Not exactly," I replied, “for I
could only have been taken to hear Jenny
Linu before I was born.”
, At this same Patti concert I had the
pleasure of again hearing the greatest
of English baritones—Charles Santley.
Shall I ever forget the Rlgoletto of Sant
ley! Such singing, such acting! And then
that wonderful night at the Academy of
Music when Parepa-Rosa, Adelaide Phil
lips, Wachtel, and Santley sang the
“Trovatore!” What a crowd forced its
way into the Academy of Music. Men’s
Some Good Tomato Recipes.
These summer days when the appetite Is
jaded and needs something crisp and tart
to appeal to it, the tomato Is about the
most tempting vegetable. It is a thing
of possibilities, lending Itself to a dozen
or more .delicious recipes. A writer in the
Philadelphia Press has gathered together
some excellent suggestions for preparing
the tomato which are reproducecd here as
follows:
When the tomatoes are to be served
raw, those of deep red color and firmness
of flesh should be selected, as they are
more “meaty,” peel easily and slice and
keep their shape much better than other
varieties. These are less acid also. The
very simplest way of serving them raw is
the daintiest and most attractive. Have
perfectly ripe tomatoes peeled and placed
on Ice some time before serving. Then
slice them and arrange on a bed of ten
der, crisp, curly lettuce. Dress with the
best and sweetest of oil, vinegar, salt and
pepper and serve at once; there is certain
ly nothing more deliciously appetizing.
By using a mayonnaise dressing in
stead of the plain French dressing you
have, with no more trouble, quite a dif
ferent salad and a most tempting com
bination of colors.
In order to peel the tomato easily, pour
scalding water over them, let them stand
but’ a minute, then throw Into cold wa
ter and let them cool sufficiently to
handle and the skin will rub off easily
Then set them in a cold place until need
ed.
Medium-sized, smooth tomatoes are best
for slicing and serving In salads.
On account of the acid In the tomatoes
use agate or porcelain-lined or earthen
ware for cooking them; as Iron and tin
will give them a disagreeable acid flavor
and discolor them as well.
Many consider that long cooking de
stroys the flavor of the as a
rule, when stewed, they are cooked In
such a careless, hurried and Indifferent
manner and served up weak, watery and
Insipid, except for their naturally tart
flavor, they are regarded as very poor
eating by those not fortunate in having
occasionally enjoyed them property stew
ed. They require an hour to stew and a
longer time will greatly improve them.,
When they must be served as a vegeta
ble and as expeditiously as possible, drain
off the greater part of the juice, which
may be added, to your vegetable soups,
and after cooking the tomatoes 15 or 20
minutes thicken them with flour and but
ter rubbed together to a smooth paste.
If the tomatoes are of a very acid va
riety, season with a little sugar Instead
of salt.
GRILLED TOMATOES.
The dark red tomatoes are best for
grilllhg. They should be ripe .but firm.
Do not peel them. Cut a thin slice
from stem and blossom end and place In
a fine wire broiler, stem end next the
and broil over a clear fire from three
to eight minutes on each side, accordlngg
to sizze of tomato. Season with’ salt and
pepper and serve with minion steaks or
on slices of toast with cream sauce.
CORN AND TOMATOES.
Cut boiled corn from the cob, leav
ing the husk; to each cup of corn allow
two cups of stewed and strained toma
toes, which have been well seasoned with
salt, pepper and butter. Cook them to
gether until boiling hot and then add
a * little good cream and serve at once.
SCALLOP OF TOMATO AND POTA-,
TOES.
Season a pint of peeled and chopped
tomatoes with salt, pepper and onion
juice to suit the taste.. Pare enough po
tatoes to make a cupful when chopped
fine. Butter a baking dish and sprinkle
with bread crumbs and put in half of
the tomatoes; then a layer of soft crack
ers, buttered and broken In coarse bits.
Cover the crackers with two heaping
tablespoons of grated American cheese.
Then add the remainder of the tomatoes,
more cracker crumbs and bits of butter
and place in a hot oven. Bake twenty
minutes. Serve at once.
STUFFED TOMATOES.
Select tomatoes that are firm and of
uniform size. Cut a slice from the stem
end and scoop out the seeds, leaving, the
pulp. For si good-sized tomatoes mix
two cups of fine bread crumbs with a
small onion minced fine, one tablespoon
ful of butter, melted, a teaspoonful of
pepper. Fill tomatoes with this and set
them in a baking dish with a very little
water to keep them from burning. Bake
them until tender, but not broken. Serve
on individual plates with a sprig of pars
ley at the side.
GREEN TOMATOES STEWED.
Bare six large, green tomatoes; peel
•three medium-sized onions. Put a table
spoonful of butter or drippings into an
agate frying pan and when hot slice
in the onions for five minutes; sprinkle in
a teaspoonful of salt and quarter of a
teaspoonful of peper; stir about for a
few minutes, then slice in • the tomatoes
and add half a cup of hot water. CoK'er
and let simmer until tomatoes are tender;
add a large tablespoonful of butter and
serve.
TOMATO SOUFFLE.
Stew three cups of tomato down to a
pint and drain off any liquid part remain
ing; then rub the pulp through a sieve.
Separate six eggs and beat yolks and
whites separately. Mix yolks with the
pulp and season to taste with salt and
pepper. Beat whites to a froth and stir
them in; then turn Into a buttered baking
dish and bake 10 or 15 minutes until set
In a hot oven. Serve as soon as done.
TOMATO AND RICE.
Prepare the tomatoes as for stewing,
and when they • begin to boil add well
washed, uncooked rice, allowing two ta
blespoonfuls of rice to a cup of tomato.
Cover and cook slowly for half an hour;
then season to taste with salt, pepper, su
gar and a bit of butter. Stir and cook a
few minutes longer', and then serve.
TOMATO TOAST.
Stew a quart of t<\matoes and season to
taste with salt, cayenne, sugar and but
ter. Cut thin slices of entire wheat bread
and toast on both sides; lay on a hot
platter and moisten slightly with a little
hot water and melted butter; cover the
toast with the tomato and put a large
tableepooful of whipped cream on top of
each covered slice just before serving.
TOMATO FARCI.
Cut smooth, round tomatoes in half and
place them In the baking pan tulth the
cut side down, with enough hot fat to
keep them from burning, moving them
about occasionally until they are a little
tender; then lift out carefully without
breaking and place them In a buttered
baking dish; pour a little oil around them
and sprinkle lightly with chopped garlic
or onion, parsley, salt and cayenne. Place
In a hot oven and hake 15 minutes. Serve
from dish In which they are baked.
TOMATOES STUFFED WITH CHICK
EN SALAD.

handsome, with not a gray hair in his
head. Could it be possible! Was this bald
man, with a little fringe of gray, the cur

man whose hands shook like aspen leaves
as he held his music! Could this be the
stalwart pillar of song? Yes. It was none
other, and none other could have that
voice, almost gone to be sure, but with
much of Its richness and fire left, Sant

heard who had Italian passion In his sing
ing. He still has that quality, ar.u it was
a treat to hear a man sing with such a
method. How different from Mr. Ben Da

of a pure English type. Santley never
was the least bit English. He always was
and always will be till he dies a great
singer.

Hawallans Like Eruptions.
Washington Times.
"In Hawaii we pray for Mount Kilauea
to become active, and the more eruptions
there are the better we like it,” said Mr.
Phillip Peck, a banker of Hilo, last night.
“An eruption does no harm,” he added,
naively.
’’Doesn't do any harm? Well, it ap
pears that Mount Pelee did plenty of
harm."
“That was a different kind of activity
from Kilauea. In Hawaii, where Mount
Kilauea has not been disturbed for two
years, the eruption Is of slight conse
quence. But it Is a great sight to see the
great lake of lava boil over the sides of
the crater and push Its way down Into the
bowl-like valley which has been formed
by eruptions more violent In the ages
past.
“The sight Is such an unusual one that
It causes a great influx of visitors each
year, and that naturally Is a good thing
for the island financially. That’s why we
like the volcano to be active. Kilauea’s
crater is the largest in the world. People
used to go and sit by Its edges and watch
for an overflow of the lava. The guides
could tell almost to the minute when
these overflows would occur.
“In 1882 there threatened a great erup
tion, and the natives were afraid that the
town of Hilo would be Injured. The
Princess Ruth, of the royal family of
Kamahameha, went to the mountain
down which the lava had begun to run.
With, her she carried several chickens
and one or two other animals. Standing
by the edge of the crater, she threw up
her head—she was one of those Imperial
looking women, and weighed about 400
pounds. She called out, addressing the
Hawaiian god:
“ ’Pelee, you promised never to hurt
Hilo; now I come to remind you of your
promise.’
“With this she thrdw the chickens into
the lava. The next day the disturbance
somewhat subsided, and the natives at
tributed to the princess the credit of it.”

STORIES OF JEFFERSON,
GRANT AND ST. PETER
Chicago Chronicle.
I OSEPH JEFFERSON, the actor, tells
a good many stories In which he
was more or less concerned. No
man of the stage has a greater fund
of anecdotes and experiences than
J
the dean himself and this fact lends plaus
ibility to the story. Another recently re
vived Jefferson story Is the following:
Some years ago he got on the elevator
at the Fifth Avenue hotel, New York,
to go downstairs, and as he stepped
aboard a thick-set gentleman with closely
cropped beard spoke up In surprise.
“How do you do, Mr. Jefferson?” he
said. “I haven’t seen you for a long time.
Are you playing in the city?”
“Delighted to meet you, sir,” replied
the comedian, "but I beg your pardon.
I—er—fear you have the advantage of
me,” i
“Then let me freshen your memory,”
said the stranger. “I met you In Wash
ington a few years ago. I’m General
Grant.”
Mr. Jefferson loves to tell this story
on himself. And then he adds: »
“I got off at the next floor. I was afraid
I might forget and ask him if he was in
the war.”
Still another yarn attributed to the vet
eran has been resuscitated. Mr. Jefferson
Is a firmly established favorite at Yale,
where he annually delivers an informal
address before the undergraduates on the
.afternoon preceding his evening appear
ance. Last year Mr. Jefferson was taken
by a senior to “Mory’a.” the orthodox
chophouse that is one of the landmarks
of Yale. The rooms are mellow with age
and rich with tradition and are generally
conducive to reminiscences. Mr. Jefferson
was discussing tho life to come and was
asked by his student host:
“Mr. Jefferson, It Is fthld that we shall
have the same character of work in the
next world as on earth. Do you expect to
be an actor In heaven?”
“Well,” replied Mr. Jefferson, “I'll tell
you; I am afraid that if I reach the gold
en gates St. Peter will shake his head
and say: ’For heaven’s sake, Joe, change
your roles.’ "
Learned to Appreciate Water.
Senator Blackburn, of Kentucky, poured out
a glass of Ice water and drank It with evident
satisfaction, says the Washington Post. “There
isn’t anything quite so gdod as water, after
all," quoth Blackburn, "which, by the way,”
he added, "reminds me of a story.’.’
“Down In Kentucky.” began Mr. Blackburn,
"there was a farmer, who, strange to say, did
not know the taste of whisky. One day, at
Christmas time, he was at a neighbor's house
and was invited to sample a mixture of cream,
lemon, sugar and other Ingredients, commonly
known as eggnogg. He sipped, then drank,
then drained several mugs. When he started
to go home he felt curious. It’a an Insidious
drink, you know, and when he reached home
he went to bed. TWe next morning he awoke
with an awful thirst. Breaking the thin cov
ing of ice on the water bucket out on the porch,
he took one long drink.
“Mandy, Mandy, come here and bring the
children,’ he shouted. 1 never tasted such
water In my life.' "
CURIOUS CONDENSATIONS.
It Is more than a coincidence that politicians
are so frequently Interested in oil and gas.
They are all spouters.
The bigger man in a fight plays in tough luck,
for if he wins he gets little glory and if he
loses he gets plenty of mud.
