ATHENS. GA.,TUESDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 1.1892.
$1.00 A YEAR
UNDER SUSPICION.
Sou # hing very nnmnal to quiet Talm-
lev had happened, and Talmley was de
cided iy uncomfortable about it.
< )f course everybody knew—as every
body knew everything in that delightful
j.’.;tce, w!:ere each neighbor was a friend,
each friend a brother—and what the
village folk knew was this—the miller,
old llnrvev Jameson, had been robbed.
• A queer business,” said the miller,
shaking his dusty, head solemnly, and
telling the circumstance for the fiftieth
time to his neighbor, Farmer Greene,
who had dropped in to sympathize with
his old friend; “nobody knew I had the
money but my daughter Jennie and
young Levoe, and I can’t Bnspect a
single soul. I put the money in a tin
box, and I put that amoug a lot of other
boxes in the cupboard, waitin till 1
could go to the bank with it, an lo and
behold! when I went to get it out yes
terday there wasn’t a single sign of boa
or money. I can’t understand it.”
• Neither can I, neighbor," said Greene,
running a brawny hand over his shock
of untidy hair; “neither can 1. But I do
think ye set too much store by that
young man ye’ve took into your house,
an mebbe ye’ve mistook him. He’s
deal too fine about his clothes an his
hands, an his hair, to be any too honest.,
but." cautiously, as he saw the flush
that stole over Jameson’s fime, “but
mebbe I’m talkin too fast, but it’s
mighty Curious, and one don’t know
what to think.”
•One might try to think nothin that
weren’t charitable,” said the miller
gravely, “an I don't suspect the lad
It's more'n I’d like to lose, for it takes
a time to earn it. But young Levoe
didn’t have nothin to do with the stealin
-no more’n you or me—an I’d rather
people wouldn’t kinder hint he had.”
•• ’Taint in nature not to think it seein
lie’s a stranger, an nobody knows what
or who he is; an he has fine ways with
him an talks liko a schoolmaster,” said
Greene stubbornly. “I don’t like to see
yon took in, neighbor, and I’m mighty
much afraid you are by that mill hand
of youm
Then Greene held out his hand to the
miller, who was deep in thought, and
bade him good day, and betook himself
to bis duties on the farm near the mill.
But the farmer had left a seed of
doubt behind him; and when lias such a
seed not found soil to nurture it until its
fruit hung heavy on the giant tree
which shadowed a friendship or dark
ened forever a soul immortal?
In Talmley there was hut one who
had not been born there, and that one
was Dick Levoe, the stranger who had
crossed bis threshold six months beforo
to ask for employment.
Jameson wanted a hand in the mill,
and hired Dick, taking him as r hoarder.
Tho young man had “fine ways,” as
Greene said.
Ho was not especially handsome, but
he was cheerful, courteous, and willing
to work, and yet, for all that, showed
unmistakable signs of having had no oo
casion to perform any labor, at some
time not far past. He was educated
even Jennie, who had spent a year at
boarding school, could be instructed by
him.
-I’ll just keep my eyes open an not let
on for awhile,” thought the miller, “but,
as Greene said, who else could have stolen
the money'
He perceived no change in Dick, no
confusion, no sign of guilt, but greatly
to the good man’s consternation he dis
covered sometliing else. The young man
was in love with pretty Jennie, and she
was fully conscious of the fact.
There was a now difficulty, and one
which the miller did not care to meet.
He was pondering over it one day,
three weeks after the robbery, when
Glavin of the Hollow called and paid
him ten pounds which hod been due
some time.
•I hear your house isn’t a very secure
place for money,” said Glavin, with a
smile, “but I hope nobody will walk off
with this while you’re asleep.”
“I'll take care of that,” answered the
miller, conscious that Dick could hear.
“1 don’t calc’late on bein robbed twice
bv the same person, and I’ve got over
thiukin everybody I meet is honest.
Good day, sir. Much obliged.”
Glaven departed and the miller went
into the house.
Jennie was singing softly as she sewed
at a window. Mrs. Jameson was not in.
having gone to visit a sick neighbor.
Without a word the old man passed
into his chamber, and there secreted the
ten pounds, frowning as he did so.
“I'll send that fellow packiu soon,
whether I find him stealin or not,” he
muttered. “It ain’t none too comfort
able iv feelin to know you’ve got to lock
up every shilling you get, and not tell
anybody where you put it.”
He ate his supper that evening in si
lence, Jennie and Dick chattering in
cessantly, and Mrs. Jameson told about
every ache and pain that racked the
wt ’inan she had been to visit.
But the miller could only wonder
of his daughter than of the money trader
the carpet. However, he did think of
his money sometimes, and in f«ut his
thoughts ran from that to Jennie, ns the
thoughts of the money lender ran from
his ducats to his daughter.
At last he slept, but not any too
soundly; dreams visited him, end un
pleasant ones they were. Vision after
vision came and faded, and his wife was
alarmed beyond measure to see his un
conscious hands go ont again and again,
perilously near sometimes to the loaded
rifle.
It was midnight before she slept at all,
but then her sleep was profound. It
was broken at last by the strangest and
most thrilling of sounds, no less star
tling than a heavy fall, and a loud,
harsh, reverberating report, as though a
cannon had been fired at her ear.
No woman is ever too frightened to
scream, and Mrs. Jameson’s shrieks
were loud and shrill as she cowered
among the bedclothes, and a scrambling
in the darkness and mnttered words she
could not understand did not tend to
calm her.
There was a rush of feet in the hall
without; a stout shoulder seut t je door
inward with a crash, and Dick Levoe,
who had made this unceremc. ous en
trance, stood there, with a ligi.t high
above his head, his keen eyes* anning
the apartment swiftly.
It took him a moment to cor a ehend,
and then he laughed w.'th in ieasur-
able amusement.
The miller, clad bW "

as he fell, lying harmless
and now unloaded; a window

of rain;
the old man was soaking wet and rain
drops glistened on his hair and scanty
garments; his bare feet were muddy,
aud altogether he presented anything
but, an agreeable or presentable appear
ance.
“What has happened?” asked Dick as
soon as his mirth could be suppressed, as
he aided the miller to his feet.
I—I don’t know,” stammered Jame
son.
His wife, hearing voices, cautiously
peeped ont from under the coverlet.
“Robbers!” sbe cried shrilly. “They
have been here again. Have they shot
you, Harvey?”
“No, wife, I’m not shot,” said Harvey,
an I don’t think there’s been any rob
bers round. Fact is I’ve been sleep
walking.”
“What!”
“I’ve been walkin in my sleep, sure ns
you live,” groaned the miller. “I’m all
wet, so I must have gone ont of doors,
an the Lord only knows where I have
been or what I’ve been doin. 1 was
dreamin of that ten pounds”
He broke off and hurried to the spot
in which he had hidden the money. It
was not there.
“You’re rather old for such capers,
Harvey,” his wife was saying.
But he. didn’t Jiear.her. Very blankly
ho turned to Dick, who had now retreat
ed to the threshold where Jennie was
standing, white and startled, but ravish
ingly pretty.
Lad,” the miller said solemnly,
believe I’ve robbed myself. I’ve heard
of such things, an now I believe I’ve just
done that, an I hain’t got a notion where
I put the money.”
“Is it gone?”
“Yes.”
“Then you had best put on dry clothes,
sir, while I go out and try to follow the
tracks you have probably left in the
garden. Your feet are so muddy I’m
sure you must have been there. I’ll re
port in a few moments.”
A whispered sentence to Jennie at the
door, and Dick was off to don his boots
and laugh at the remembrance of the
miller’s plight.
With a lantern he went ont into the
rain, and his gravity departed again as
under the window of the miller’s
chamber he discovered deeply indented
footprints, which proved that Jameson
had emerged like a schoolboy.
The big, bare feet left plain traces in
the soft soil of the garden. Dick fol
lowed them on across the road, and
found that they ceased at one comer of
the mill. A loose board had been
freshly replaced. He drew it ont and
there, in the aperture, found a small tin
box.
Taking it ont, he hurried hack to find
Jameson, his wife and Jennie up aud
dressed, waiting for him,
The miller took the box eagerly and
opened it with scarcely stc<. y hands.
There were the ten pounds, and under
them the money of which he had thought
Dick bad robbed him.
“Lad,” he said, turning to his em
ployee, “I’ve been thinkin ill of you for
the last few days, an I ask your pardon.
If I can ever do you a good turn call on
me. 1
“I take your word, sir,” said Dick
cheerfully, going straight to Jennie and
taking her hand. “I want your consent
to my marrying Jennie some day, when
I have proved myself able to take care

did it ever occur to the reader to ask
wliy it is that all our great oomoosers
are men ? Look at the long list of those
who have adorned both the Classical
and Romantic schools! Not a single
woman among them. Not even a lul
laby song, with its sweet and soothing
melody, bas been ascribed to woman.
Why is it?” asked one of our girls?
“One would think that the cradle
songs, at least, would originite in the
heart of wounn.” “It is because men
have more feelirg, more soul,” one
answered. “I will not grant you that,”
replied a third, “it is because a man’s
talents are more ooncentrated, while
woman’s are more diversified ” Quick
ly was the argument taken up by a little
black-eyed beauty, who retorted with
some feeling; “It is because woman
hasn’t bad a cbance in liie. Give her
but an opportunity, and she will im
mortalise beraelt in music, as well as in
other fiields of laber.” “Yea grl«, I
agree with said another, “ler
us wait for tbe twentieth century. Da
you know I believe that is going to bo
the age of woman ?"
“Blessed thought,” chimed in a dear
lover of music. “I believe girls, that 1
had rather be tbe author of Mendel
sohn’a song without words, than tbe
queen of England.” “I understand
now,” said—, “why you should be
called St. Cecilia. May tbe, angels pro

don’t tradition say that sbe invented
the pipe organ?” “Yes, I am glad you
spoke of it,” reiterated one black-eyed
Miss, “that is one honor in music that
we will not accord the men.” And sc
the argument went on until the bel<
sounded for the afternoon walk, and
the girls dispersed, promising to resume
the ditoussion a little later.

The Demostbenians are working in
good earnest, and yesterday the ques-
ior, Resolved. That the judges elected
for life, should be substituted for the
prea-nt jury system, was debated for
five hours. 1 h re was some fine argu-
m nt on-both sides, and shows that tbe
speakers do not lack the talent which
make good speakers.
It was debated affirmatively by Govan,
Crannen, Hey man and McGregor. Neg

An Enjoyable Occasion—Was that
on Friday evening last when the Daugh
ters of the American Revolution met at
the residence of tbe Regent, Mrs. E. A.
Crawford. Tbe address by Prof. H. C.
White was very fine, indeed, and well

Mrs. Harrison Was Laid to Rest
Crown HUi Cemetery.
Indianapolis, Oct. 29.—The train
bearing the remains of Mrs. Harrison
and the president and party arrived here
at 9:40 a. m. The people began to gather
in the neighborhood of the depot soon
after ■ 8 o’clock, but it was not until an
hour later that they appeared in any
number, and even_the crowd was not a
composing it,
large one. Most of them
men and women alike, wore either black
or dark apparel, and some of the men
had circled their arm with a band of
crape.
The police had been instructed to re
fuse admission to the depot to all who
had no actual business within, but there
was little occasion for the exercise of
their authority, for the crowd was im
pressed with the solemnity of the occa
sion and made no effort to get within.
Ex-President Hayes was one of the
first visitors to reach the depot, and he
was 6con after followed by General
Schofield and wife, Secretary Foster and
Miss Foster. Charles L. and Mrs. Sean-
der of Omaha, the mother and brother
of Russell Harrison s wife. Toni Scott
Harrison cf Kansas City, the brother of
the president and Captain Wm. Meri-
deth the superintendent of the Bureau
of engraving and printing.
A little later a delegation from Chica
go headed by Mayor Washburn reached
the depot and were passed inside. In the
n.ext 20 minutes or so the arrivals
of those intending to be a part of tbe
funeral procession, were numerous, anil
the waiting room was well filled. Out
side in the roadway was a line of car
riages, four abreast, and extending fora
couple of blocks. The waiting throng
had also increased, and it lined the side
walks on Illinois street as.far as the eye
could reach.
At twenty minates of ten the shrill
whistle of the locomotive followed by a
commotion on the part of employees of
the depot gave evidence that the funeral
procession was in the yards, and a
couple moments later it rolled in and
came to a full stop immediately in front
of the main gate dividing the depot
proper from the tracks.

Special training is requisite in all
professions. A mechanic must serve an
apprenticeship before he oan perforin
his work skillfully. Tbe physician or
tbe lawyer spends years in cartful
study before be becomes even tolerably
proficient in his profession. The mu
sician undergoes bard and tedious
practice before be is able to draw forth
sweet And melodious sounds. How
much more important then that the
teacher wbo moulds tbe malleable mind
of youth should receive a special course
of training to fit him or her for this
most responsible work.
More Trouble Between Prisoners and
Officers of a Prison*
Boston, Oct. 29. — A not started
Thursday afternoon at the house of
correction, in south Boston, but was
quelled for the time being. It broke
out afresh after the prisoners had en
tered the workshops in the morning.
They refused to work, aud created a
terrific din by yelling and .pounding
upon the walls and floors of the shops.
The prisoners were placed in their
cells and locked up before the police ar
rived. One"of the jail officials is said to
have been badly beaten by the rioters.
The canse of the disturbance is said to
be the refusal of Colonel Whitton of the
jail, to give the yard privileges last Sat
urday to four noted crooks who recent
ly attempted to escape from the institu
tion. Some of the men also complain
that their food is unsatisfactory.

OATH OF OFFICE
FOR THE SECOND TERM;.
Impressive Inaugural Ceremonies at
tho Capitol—a significant inau-
. gurai Address—A Plea for
Education.
Atlanta, Ga., Oct. 29.—(Special).—
For the second time Hon. W. J. Nor-
then has taken the oath of the Chief
Executive of the State of Georgia.
The inaugural ceremonies took place
in tbe capitol building at twelve o’clock.
The inaugural address of Governor
Xoithen was a carefully prepared and
significant document, which confined
many recommendations of importance.
A strong plea is made for education
in the address. Speakirg of the' Uni
versity, Gov, Northen said: “I will be
glad to indorse your liberal appropria
tion for this institution.” He also
made a plea for the Normal School and
public schools of the state.
The governor in no uncertain terms
denounced lynch law, and this part of
the address is replete with sound argu
ment.
Concluding his address with a solemn
invocation, Governor Northern turned
to the presiding officer and announced
tbat he was ready to receive the oath
of office.
Tbe oath was administed by chief
justice Logan E. Bleckley, whose tower
ing form, patriarchal beard and solemn
tone made the scene peculiarly impres
sive.

QUAY IS BLUE.
Republican Stock Takes a Big Tum
ble.
New York, Oct. 29.—Mr. Quay who
came here to infuse new life into the
Republican party bas gone borne, hav
ing utterly failed in his designs. He
refused to attend a meeting of tbe Re
publican executive committee yesterday
and divers stories are reported as to his
views and purposes. He is reported as
having said in an interview that Mr.
Harrison’s chances of re-election were
been admitted to the depot and formed
in double line and tlie corpse was borne
to the hearse. The pall bearers were:
Dr. H. R. Allen, John B. Elam, Hugh
Hanna, E. B. Martindale, General Lew
Wallace, Colonel G. McLain, John R.
Elder, Theodore R. Maughey, Judge W.
‘. Woods, W. F. Fishback and Thomas
. Sliatpe.
Tho nrssident and his daughter walked
immediately behind the casket, with the
members of the family following, aud
the remainder of the party in the rear.
After the casket had been placed in the
hearse, every one in sight stauding with
hare heads, some little time was occu
pied in assigning the mourners to car
riages, and it was nearly an hour before
the cortege moved.
A detail of thirty police officers led the
way, and were followed by the carriage
containing the officiating divines, Rev.
Dr. Haines and Rev. Dr. Hyde.
The carriage containing the pall bear
ers preceded the hearse. Then came the
president’s carriage and those of the
members of the family and members of
the cabinet and their ladies, Governor
Chase and state officials, supreme and
appellate court judges, ladies, hoard of
managers of the orphi
tion
this
friends of the family.' It was a long
line of vehicles, for the head of the cor
tege had traveled nearly half of the
long route to the church when the last
of the procession was leaving the depot
Bquare.
Men and women packed the sidewalk
for the entire distance from the depot
to the churbh in an almost unbroken
mass, and as the hearse came into view,
men, as though moved by one common
impulse, removed their hats and stood
bareheaded until the president’s car
riage had passed by, and from Ohio
street to the church the roadway was
lined with members of the various local
posts-of the Grand Army, standing in
open order and uncovered.
About five thousand of the veterans
thus evidenced their sympathy for their
comrade in his overwhelming afflic
tion.
The services at church commenced
immediately upon the seating of the
congregation. The church was elabo
rately draped in black and decorated
with flowers and plants.
Brief selections from the scriptures
began the service, and then Dr. Haini
the pastor of the chnrch, delivered a
touching sermon. A hymn followed,
jmd, after a discourse by Dr. Hyde and
another hymn, the procession proceeded
to Crown Hill cemetery, where the in
terment took place.
Co up m Smoke at Milwaukee, Wis
consin.
Milwaukee, Oct., 29 .—Three hundred
buildings were destroyed by fire here
last night. The heart of the city was
entirely destroyed by the flames and tbe
loss is at least six millions of dollars*
While tbe fire is under control it will
be several days before the last spark
bas been extinguished. Four lives
were lost, and it is miraculous tbat tbe
death record from the disaster is not
greater.
The greatest portion of the loss falls
upon people who carried no insurance
and are unable to bear tbe loss. Hun
dreds of families have lost everything in
the world they had and many walking
the streets tonight without place to lay
their beads. The unfortunate are being
taken care cf so far as possible by our
citizens.
The fire originated in tbe store occu
pied by the Union Oil Co., and was
caused by the explosion of an oil barrelL
