y l(r ti ja t is just what has been pro-
u'lrdun.l plamud for Athens.
A Banni'-h reporter was speaking to
iprominent citizen in Athens yester-
jj. -Do von know,” said he, “that it
jjilmoilcertain that Athens is to hay
lOitKiiitieeni hotel ere next spring sets

‘•Well, that is just the size of it, and
it #ill be a beauty, too.”
••Where, will it be?”
••It will be located on the Dorsey lot,
the triangle formed hv Fouudry, Broad
iOeonte streets. The plans for the
hotel are all uiade and everything that
necessary now to put them
operation is for the money market to
pt ea-m r, and that will happen short
ly. The new hotel will bo erected at
icost of one hundred thousand dol
lar... and will be fitted up iu the very
li-, s; style. Every modern convenience
be there, and it will be erected
nth a view to giving Athens just such
lh ael as she most richly deserves.
it is a fact, too, that this project has
behind it plenty of money to put it
through Miccessfullv, and that it will
be consummated there is no doubt on
ear h.
“In addition to this, you may say
that another great improvement to the
city is lieing very favorably discussed.”
•‘What is that?”
“It is the building of a Union Passen
ger D- pot. The railroad depots in our
city are all very inconveuient to travel,
nu.l if a depot could be established near
the larg. st hotel iu the city, it would be
of grtat adv intage.
“l’h refore, the subject has been
thoroughly anu favorably discussed, of
buying up all that property fronting
the proposed hotel on Oconee street and
turning it into a grand Union Passen
ger Depot.
“If thi.- is done, all of the roads can
niter the depot without inconvenience
except tiie Georgia, and all that it
aould have to do would be to back in
over the ltelt Hoad.
“Thus you would have a big hotel
snd a depot just opposite, thoroughly
convenient to travelers and to citizens.
It would be a paying investment for
the hotel and for the citizens.
“You may look out for some big de
velopnients along this line,” said the
gentleman, “for the question now is,
not what we ought to do. but what we
mu-tdo. Aad it will be done.”

road,
Madison county had been without a
railroad up to the building of the O. C
Hut now that it has one, it knows
how to protect its interests. The citi
zeus have taken steps that will prevent
*»y further throwing of rocks at a
train. Says the Monitor:
three able bodied sons of Ham are
sh t ping beneath the roof of the Madison
Comity jail.
They rocked the night passenger train
0,1 jhe G. C. A N. and were arrested
»i d committed to jail under a five hun-
<1 re-1 dollar bond.
It is a serious crime in Georgia to
throw rocks into a passenger train, and
when the courts get through with these
hvgroes they will fully realize that fact.
. from the best information obtainable,
it seems that their attack on the train
" its a premeditated affair,and that they
selected a good place for the business.
As the nigut train was pulling up the
heavy grade near Carlton, the passen
gers \yere startled by a number of rocks
crashing through the windows of their
car, the first attack was followed b,
perfect fusiiade of large rooks. V _
hows were broken and the glass scat
tered over the car. None of the pas
sengers were seriously injured we un

Suspicion fell on John Johnson, Jim

Second Session of the Ecu-
minical Methodist CouaciL
Ada, Ohio, October 8.—-Oyer one
hundred newspaper correspondents are
on the ground at ten o’clock, and spe
cial trains from many points are coming
ia to hear the great McKinley Camp
bell joint debate.
This is a town of 2,000 people.
Its university has 1,500 students. The
president is accustomed to have great
political speeches at his commence
ment.
Governor Campbell was to have been
hero at the last commencement, but he
could not come. President Lehr asked
him to come during the campaign. He
gladly accepted.
It was hinted that McKinley would be
invited to meet him.
Campbell quickly expressed in writ
ing liis delight at this proposition.
This information, with a pressing invi
tation, was communicated to McKin
ley.
For some time the major couldn’t be
heard from.
When approached in person about the
matter he claimed not to have received
the letter bearing the invitation.
Pressed to fill the engagement, he at
last accepted in self-defence, but he
took csru to have his executive com
mittee decline any future discussions.
The following are the mild samples
of the hard nuts that the Governor is
giving the Mnjir to crack:
Seeing that the commercial reports of
Dunn & Co. are recognized as true
thermometers of the business condi
tions, why is it that without exception
the business failures throughout the
Union have been larger every week
since the McKinley bill became a law.
The business failures for three months
ending September 30, 1891, are 2,754,
against 2,1‘Jii for the same three mouths
of last year.
How is that when McKinley pro
mised when his bill was pending that
would bring prosperity?
How is it that this bill has increased
the business failures by 558 in three
months?
The liabilities for the same three
months aggregate $44,000,000, which is
$900,000 more than for the same three
uiontbs'of 1890, before the deadly work
of McKinley began.
Why has the high tariff on wool made
rags higher and wool cheaper?
Where is McKinley’s home market for
farmers’ supplies, and what would
wheat be worth were it not for
the foreign markets?
If the McKinley bill is in the interest
of laborers, why is it that not a single
branch ot any laborers’ organization,
since its adoption, has indorsed it, and
that labor reductions have been greater
than they were before.
If taking the duty off of sugar makes
cheaper how does doubling the duty
on tin make it also cheaper.
If McKinley is against freesilver be
cause it makes a dishonest dollar why
did he vote for the present silver law
under which eighty cents on the dollar
are now being coined.
A distressingly weak shout greets
McKinley as he alights from the train,
hut be lifts his beaver and bows twice
for every cheer.
He goes up to President Lehr’s resi
dence driven behind two fair looking
sorrel horses.
Seeing that this is a republican town
the weakness of the major’s reception
compared to the governor’s is very en
couraging.
At 12:45 Governor Campbell’s train
came iu. As ho touched the ground
the applause shook the town, and it is
ten minutes before the crowd who
train to hear him will permit his pair
of beautiful blood red bays to pro
ceed.
He is escorted by military students of
the college, 500 strong It now looks
a3 if all Ohio is on the sidewalks
The joint debate was very exciting,
Campbell carrying everything by
storm.
That he will be the next governor of
Ohio goes beyond a doubt.
The Great Conference Assemble* In the
Metropolitan Methodist Church—Dis
tinguished Ministers Occupy the Plat
form—Hundreds of Delegate* In At

of Halifax.
The body of the church was nearly
filled with delegates, about 500 being
present, and the galleries and aisles and
all available space Was filled with spec
tators. The morning session was open
ed by Rev. Thomas Bishop, who read
the 822d hymn from the Methedist
hymnal, beginning:
“Jesus, name high over all,
In hell, or earth or sky,
Angels and men before it fall,
And devils fear and fly. ”
The entire assembly rose and sang
the hymn to the accompaniment of the
great organ. Bishop J. C. Keener of
New Orleans, was called upon to pray,
and made a fervent appeal for Divine
blessing upon the labors of the confer
ence, closing with the Lord’s prayer.
Following tbe prayer the assembly
recited the apostle’s creed, led by Rev.
Bishop Wayman, of the African Meth
odist church, of Baltimore. Dr. Hastis
of N. a read the sixth chapter of Isiah.
When he closed Rev. Dr. Arthur, of
London, read the 995th number of the
hymnal:
"Come let us anew our Journey pursue,"
which was sung by the entire assembly.
Dr. Arthur arising, expressed his re
gret that failure of his voice would not
permit him to deliver the sermon which
he had prepared to open the council,
and tendered his thanks to Rev. Dr.
Stephenson, president of the British
Wesleyan conference, who had kindly
undertaken to read it for him, and Dr.
Stephenson then proceeded to read tbe
sermon.

In Yellowstone National park are in
numerable geysers, the waters of which
are strougly impregnated with calcare

stance which instantaneously inernst-

and craters are formed by it Travel-
era place under the streams bottles and
other objects they desire “turned to
stone.” as they term it. and as soon as

Mr. Cyril Jacqnes was a morbid,
dreamy and downcast young man. With
form, fine face and even wealth at his
command, he constantly meditated sui
cide and determined to become a felo de
se. He wandered over the world to dis
cover some artistic method of departing
this life. He paled at the thought of an
inquest over his mortal remains, of ac
counts in the press and of speculation by
his fellow mankind. He climbed Vesu
vius and for hoars contemplated a
plunge into the awful fires below, where
his body would never be revealed. He
did not fear instantaneous incineration—
not thnL He conceived that in the in
visible world iu which he was bound he
might desire to gather his mortal ele
ments somewhere, sometime, in the
cycles of eternity. Hence, why so utter
ly annihilate them?
Mr. Jacques sailed to the borders of
the great maelstrom off Norway and
considered a plunge therein, heavily
plated in a metallic armor. Here again
he paused and foresaw the decay of the
metal and the possibility and absorption
of animal life.
He studied aeronautics Intently and
consulted the world’s aerostatic engi
neers, M. Gabriel Yon, Captains Renard
and Krebs, as to the possibility of an air
ship which wonld bear him beyond the
earth’s atmosphere, out into homoloidal
space. Again defeat- These great men
assured him that, for all his wealth,
finite power could not achieve the in
finite.
In the year 1870 he read of the first ex
peditions of Dr. F. V. Hayden, into the
unknown wilds of the ■ Rockies, of the
initiation of the then worldwide respect
ed United States geological survey, of
the wonderful geyser regions of Wy
oming. Into the northwest corner of
this territory he hastened his fiignt.
August was waning when he mounted
the terraces of Mammoth Hot Springs
and saw the clear bine waters gusb from
the highest piazza and fall evenly in
veillike sheets over the sides, which con
stantly increased in size. He saw that
be hail only to sit there to be pushed
higher and higher, while a mountain of
incrustation broadened below him and
reared him about
Bnt as he watched the transformation
of liquids into solids he saw that cer
tain objects at the base of the mound,
fast as they became incased with
sinter, were pushed down hill, down
toward the valley below. He speculated.
He concluded that some time a concus
sion of steam might explode the mound,
and if a body were therein it would
become exposed to beasts, men or sun.
So he determined to be incased sepa
rately aud allow his body to be pushed
down bill, to become oue o' the rapidly
forming, immense mass of incrustated
objects.
Having formed his plans, Mr Cyril
Jacqnes took chloroform and laid down
at the base of the series of piazzas of
Mammoth Hot Springs, where the gey
ser waters fell upon him aud in a short
time incased his body iu hardened cal
careous sinter.
While the strange young man was ex
hausting his life devising aesthetic means
of death. Miss Mignonette Favre was
leading a dissimilar career of inventing
fancies and searching the world for a
man who should be a synonym of her
ideals so created. In her flights of ro
manticism she had investigated the
wildest noble red man in the deepest of
unfreqnented deeps, bnt ascertained that
his valne set on a woman was less than
that of a horse. She studied a widower
president, bnt, if he fulfilled her dream,
he did not take kindly to her advances.
She went abroad determined to fascinate
a great prince, but all the princes she
met spoke not of love, bnt of an annual
stipend to become her husband.
In 1890 Miss Favre decided to enjoy
the summer in the Yellowstone National
park, a tract solely under the jurisdic
tion of the government, bat formerly a
part of the then territories of Wyoming
and Montana. The a Mammoth Hot
Springs hotel suited her romantic ideas.
While here she often climbed the piazzas
of the great spring. She placed bottles,
combs, horseshoes and other objects an
del the trickling streams and saw them
“turned to stone" to her heart’s content
While she filled big boxes with a varied
collection of these and kindred objects,
her Ideal in this respect as in the case of
a man, was unfulfilled.
She saw the big heaps of objects in-
crustated, which seemed to have slid
down into the valley, and she was indig
nant at the government for enacting
laws to protect this “avalanche” and
making it a misdemeanor to carry any
section away. She clambered up and
down the avalanche—for sneb the slant
ing collection of objects seemed to be—
aud each day pansed before a massive
cone of white sinter, the solidity and
great beauty of which she admired so
much that it became n monomania with
her. The cone was about seven feet in
length, with a diameter of two feet, and
looked as if it were a classic Ionic col
umn.
At least Miss Favre. concluded she
could not live without the cone. In her
frenzied admiration of it she forgot to
search for a man of her romance. She
hired the' stableman to take a ousted
force of men, steal the coveted object at

New York at a total cost of $10,000. half
of which went to the stablemen.
Miss Mignonette accompanied her
treasure, and on her arrival at her su
perb mansion on West End avenue had
it unpacked and artistically displayed in
an nxthetic, well lighted tipper room
which she had converted into a sort of
museum for the exhibition of her trophies
collected while traveling. Here she
spent hours daily admiring her treasure,
examining and re-examining the surface,
which variously resembled corals and
stalagmites, honeycombs and cells. Nor
did she tire. On the contrary, so great
greW her fascinatiou that at last she was
held by it as by u spell—as a bird might
be hypnotized by a snake. Sbe would
walk and walk around it, sing to it, in
dite poems in its honor and call it by en
dearing names.
One day Miss Mignonette read a won
derful account in a veracious newspaper
concerning a frog which had been fonnd
alive in a marble block. She was startled.
What if her cone contained some ani
mal—a bear—a snake—goodness—what?
Thin girl had some sense. She actually
reasoned. She felt that if it contained
anything the mysterious object must be
something higher, nobler than she, to so
fascinate her.
Should she smash it and end tbe mys
tery? Nol Why spoil forever her idol?
Again and again she caressed it, bnt
always oue end of it Suppose the end
toward which she was so irresistibly
drawn were the head? •
Miss Mignonette, after reading the
frog story, grew so crazed with the pos
sible romance of the situation that she
at last became possessed with the belief
that there wa9 a man inside What if it
were true? He could not be dead, no,
only in a trance. He must be young and
handsome. Yes, he must be the idol of
her dreams, for whom she had searched
the world. Her future lord had been
found at last Dame Nature had granted
her prayer and in the most romantic
way ever conceived, yea, inconceivable
even to the wildest flighted novelist, had
enabled her to find her lover in stone.
She would break tbe seal, the long seal
that had hidden him from the world.
She would dress to receive liim. There
should be no one else present Ho should
awake from his long dream from the in
visible world, should open his eyes on
her loveliness, should awake to life and
the world in her arms.
She arrayed herself gloriously. Her
dark hair was arranged with white
b inds about it A simple flowing gown
of white enveloped her form, and over
it was the faintest white fabric of illu
sion, so delicate as to deceive the eye.
Her brown eyes, large and long lashed,
shone with joy. Her feet were incased
in tiny sandals. The nails of her delicate
fingers Bhouo pink lined, like the shell of
a pearl. She was arrayed at last, ready
with endearing terms to receive her
lover from his case of stone. Incan
descent lamps shed a soft, mellow glow
over the room, on the cone, enhancing
the glorious beauty of the girl.
With a sharp clusel she began to in
dent a crease on the entire length of the
cone. Gradually the crease deepened.
Often she placed her ear to the opening,
trying to catch some sound, some move
ment The opening arrived at a depth
where the cone could be split open with
out injury to the inmate. She inserted
several chisels and with a hammer gent
ly began the splitting process.
As the tomb began to open she pansed.
She was scared. The man would really
ie ns in death. How could she revive
him uuless he immediately came to life?
Suppose he were completely dead. • What
cold she tell the authorities that which
they wonld believe and not convict her
as a murderess?
Gradually her courage came back. She
wonld save him somehow. Had not na
ture granted her prayer and sent her a
husband iu the most mystcrions, ro
mantic fashion? Surely the power wlifch
sent him to her to be rescued would en
able her to restore him to life. Sue gave
several taps and the cone divided in
twain.
In the morning they fonnd her in the
museum in a dead faint. She did not re
vive for many days. Beside her were
two halves of the cone of silicions sinter.
The occnpant, which lay beside her, was
the limbless trank of a dead tree.—Wil

The Right Soil for Ponitry.
A cormtponitMit ot the New York
World, writiug on the subject of what
breeds to keep, *-tys
In my ex;iertence I have found that
one of the first considerations in select
ing birds for a poultry yard ought to be
the kind of soil on which they are to be
kept. This is a point which I believe
has as yet uot been touched upon by
your various correspondents, but 1 con
sider it an important factor of success
If it chances that the would he ponitry
keeper has a dry. sandy or gravelly roil
he can then select any breeds to place
therein Unit he may fancy. Should his
soil, however, be cold, damp or clayey
great care will have to be observed in
the selection of stock, for there are
many breeds that will not thrive on snch
lands. I)n wet, low lying lahils 1 wonld
keep only ducks or geese. These will
thrive and return a fair profit
When practicable it is certainly ad
visable to select for one’s ponitry yards
and mi:.- « sandy or gravelly soil. But
as this is not always possible t will sug
gest, where one has a damp clay soil to
contend with, that the Leghorns. Plym
onth Nocks. Cochins. Brahmas or
Hondims will do lietter. on such a soil
than will th<- Spanish. Dorkings and La
Fleohe. Another.' point of inijMirtaace to
lie settled before selecting one’s birils is
whether the fowls are to have exteuded
runs or be confined to siuall quarters.
While plenty of room is essential to best
results, there are breeds that do fairly
well in ».m:dl rims. The Minorcas aud

few of such instances have been attrib

times justly so; but more frequently
without taking into consideration that
the same ideas, comparisons and illus
