THE ATHENS BANNER: TUESDAY MORNING, AUGUST 26,1*90.
WHAT DO
YOU READ?
BETWEEN THE ^ALLIANCE AND
GOV. JOHN B, GORDON.
THE MAIDENS OF ATHENS GIVE
THEIR READINGS.
Tho General Against the Sub-Treas
ury BUI—He Says so Most Emphati
cally -In Addressing the Alliance
Last Night—-A Big Sensation.
Social Items First—Then those That
are Personal—Some Like Humor—-
And all are Interested by Love Af
fairs and Things About their Sex.
“What part of a newspaper is most
interesting to you?”
This is the question asked yesterday
of a number of Athens’ fair daughters,
and while the answers received varied
somewhat, in the main they all agreed.
The first approached was a bright and
popular young Milledge Aveimvianess,
from whose reputation tor bcingof quite
a literary turn of mind, one would sup
pose the'heavy articles would first claim
her attention. But to the question put,
she, without the least hesitation, said:
“Society news first of all ”
“What'next?” asked the reporter,
thinking that the answer would surely
be something of a scientific or literary
kind.
“Well, personal items are interesting,
as I like to know when people return,
and where they go. After these I usu
ally read the humorous items, especial
ly the ridiculous poems about the Sum
mer girl, surf bathing, etc. I think I
have an especially keen sense of the
ridiculous, and some especially ridicu
lous and silly things I clip out and
keep. Here are some that I saw to-day,
and while there is nothing in them,
they are so non-sensical that I laugh
every time I read them.”
She then showed us the following,
which wo reprint for the benefit of
those whose tastes are similar to hers:
There was a young female named Ida,
Who was fond of imbibing hard cida;
She took a large draught,
And then loudly langht,
For she saw several snakes and
spida.
There was a young man of Calais,
Who was handsome and gallant and
gais;
His hair hung in curls,
And he mashed all the gurls
And v lien the sun shone he made
liais.
There was an old lady of Smyrna,
Who never had seen a gas-byrna;
So she blew out the gas,
The stupid old as,
And died of asphyxia—dyrna.
Prince Avenue was the location of
the home of the next young lady seen,
and the question had hardly been asked
as to what she read, when she launched
forth into a general lecture, telling the
reporter how to run a newspaper.
She talked very rapidly, but here is about
what she said:
“Society news, of course. All girls
read that first, and read it closely,
thought you knew that, and wonder
why' your paper don’t have at least a
column every day. Then you ought to
have a column about fashion for women
every day. We all like to read those
sort of things, and while not of much
interest to men, most of whom can’t
tell tulle from muslin, or calico from
silk, still all the women would like it
and of course you would rather please
us. You had a piece in yesterday about
hair dressing which was excellent, and
I know it was read with much mo<e in
terest by the ladies thau all that about
the drug store cases, and the selling of
that wor—ahem,those patent medicines,
and lots of other things in there.”
“Ycs’m, I understand that, but you
know we have to please all classes, and
we try to put in a little something for
everybody. What do you read after
those pieces you mentioned.?”
“Well, personal items, and then we
nil like any articles which have anythiug
romantic about them. Sensational
news, we care nothing about scarcely,
though of course when especially start
ling we read them.”
WAR TO THE KNIFE. 1 the URUi GUARD'S TALK
BILL NYE WRITES OF THE CONEY
ISLAND RELIEF EXPEDITION.
Atlanta, August 30.—[Special.]—
Gordon addressed a meeting of Alliance-
men iu tho hall of representatives to
night. It was a puhlie affair with open
doors.
Bis speech was a profound sensation.
Gordon declared that ho wouid not sub
scribe to the Sub-Treasury plan, “not”
he added “If it costs me forty elec
tions.”
The scene that followed was a memor
able one. Tho declaration was a com
plete surprise to most of his hearers,
lie declared that ho was in complete
sympathy with the objects of Alliance,
but repeated with emphasis that lie
would not subscribe to the Sub-Treas
ury plan.
At the conclusion of his speech, his
old soldiers crowded around him. “We
believe in the Alliance,’’they said, “hut
we will stand by you to the last.”
After Gordon concluded, J. Y. Car
michael, of Coweta, arose and addressed
the meeting in reply to Governor Gor
don. lie announced his own candidacy
for the United States Senate.
This is not taken seriously as it is be
lieved he is not of sound mind. Gor
don’s speech is the talk of town. There
is no foretelliiig the result.
Itlias brouglitout his friends squarely
and has of course solidified opposition.
It was generally believed that he would
fiatlv refuse to subscribe the sub-treas
ury plan, and his gallant, outspoken
conduct to-night almost captured the
convention.
“It is certain” said Editor Harry
B:own, of the Alliance organ to-night,
“that Gordon will have opposition
That speech killed him for the Senate.
He climbed out on the limb
and sawed it off between him
and tho tree. There can hardly be
doubt that he will have a straight out
sub treasury opponent.
Its war to the knife now, and knife to
the hilt.
A BLOODY BATTLE.
I
As it is always our desire to please
the ladies, we insert here a clipping
from a late fashion journal with a few
criticisms:
We notice from our eastern ex
changes that some of the popular shades
in dress goods this winter are described
as “dragoon’s blood,” “elephant
breath” and palo ink, called “stilled
sighs.”
We just gurgled with delight when
we heard this, because all these colors
are so unique. We were real glad with
a regular Pan-American gladuess for
the detfr girls, for a girl loves to he
unique, don’t you know, even if she has
to wear it under her wrapper. A girl
dressed in elephant’s breath, hung in
gracefold folds and looped up and fas
tened at the corners with stilled sighs,
with a corsage of old gold, slashed with
dragoon’s gore, would be just too love
ly for anythiug. We have been sighing
for ju6t such a girl fox years, but our
sigh had hardly stifle enough iu it to
match the new color. We have sent for
a remnant of stifled sigh to make a
necktie of it. It appears to us that ele
phant's breath wouM be rather strong
for real comfort in the summer time,
especially if the elephant was inclined
to be dissipated.
Dragoon’s blood should only be worn
in spots, a la polka dot as it were, and
should never be worn without being
well sprinkled with ashes of rose to tone
it down. In the ahseuce of rases, wood
ashes or cigar ashes would answer as
well. But there is a fullness and a
pathos about the stifled sigh which will
make it rank favorite the moment soci
ety corals it. It is so desolate and yet
so far reaching. A sigh at any time is
a dear thing to look at, but when it is
stifled and worn full in the hack, with
box painting duwu the sides anu caught
up with silv.-i buckles into a double
cincbe about the waist, it is simply a
dream.

A SHOOTING AFFRAY.
Two Dalton Men in a Difficulty Yes
terday.
Special by News Telegram Association.
Dalton, Ga., August 23.—j.L.Ed-
mondsou, jr., emptied both barrels of a
shotgun at T. E. Longest this morning
without effect. Longest returned the
fire with a pistol, one shot taking effect
in Edmondson's leg, but not seriously
hurting him. The trouble grew out of
a private matter not yet definitely
known. Friends for some time have
tried to settled.
THEY SHOOK HANDS.
They had succeeded, and the parties
shook hands and separated, but Ed-
mondsou sent for Longest to come
back. When he returned Edmondson
began firing with his shotgun without
warning. Edmondson has been the ag
gressor and has made threats against
Longest’s life.
MORE TROUBLE FEARED.
Both men are well known, and the
affrir has created great excitement, and
h e trouble is not ended, asj both men
havo strong friends who will become

Emin Tutewller Would Have Been Ho
llered if He nodn’t Taken the Four
w’Clock Boat for Home—The Explorers
Set Bight Before the Public. '
[Copyright fcy Edgar W. Nye.]
So many conflicting stories are now
afloat regarding tho conduct of the rear
guard of the expedition which started
out last July for the relief of Emin Tute-
wiler, who was supposed to he some
where in the jungles of interior Coney
Island or Far Rockaway, that I make
bold to write this defense of myself and
our party in order that history may, as
Emerson says, give us a fair show.
Early in Jnue we received permission
from Mr. Joseph Cook, of Boston, to ex
plore the interior of Coney Island if wo
would give it back again, and I began to
look about me for a suitable company of
men to assist me. My first selection
consisted of Mr. OwonS. Kinney, whose
middle initial sometimes adheres to his
beliindest name, but who is a loyal gen
tleman whose clothes fit me. I owe him
much which I cannot ever repay, but he
agrees to let me off if I speak ldndly of
him in my writings.
I was also so fortunate as to secure
the services of Eli H. Jaggs, professor of
horsemanship at the Central Park Acade
my of Equestrianism; also the author of
“How to Overcome the Biding Habit;’’
cloth fifty cents, paper two hits. He
was secured partially because of his po
litical influence and also because he is a
♦borough connoisseur of spoopju.
He said he would go cheerfully. Be
side these two 1 also invited Mr. Sawdorf
Astor-Plaice, of Lennox. Ho is not large
physically, hut lio has a brain which is
wliat might be called a teeming brain.
When he is thinking real earnestly, if
you go quite close to his brain you can
hear it purr. I never saw such a brainy
cuss as lie is. His thoughts sometimes
rumble like a telegraph pole, he thinks
so hard. I selected him because I want
ed a bunch of picked men, and any one
could see that he was a picked man to
just look at him. Ho seemed somehow
to have been picked too soon. He took
a banjo with him.
That also was picked. Before wo had
fairly started ho got everything about
him to harmonize by having his pockets
picked.
My next thought was to procure the
needful food supply for our long journey,
and obtain permission of my paper to
draw on it whenever 1 needed any
money. I also wrote an editorial re
garding my sagacity and things, leaving
it to be printed on the day of my de
parture.
I now began to look about me for food
and whang whang, jiugsang and color
ed beads to he used for purposes of
traffic. My first purchase consisted of a
small hamper of Rockford cheese, which
is an anti-scorbutic and also insures ab
solute isolation to its happy possessor. I
fully believe that tho Rockford cheese—
giving it the Anglicized spelling, for I
am always kind to tho Rockford and
Limhurger cheeses, uevur laying a hand
on eyethcr of them otherwise than in
kindness — 1 say that the Rockford
cheese, aside from tho Excelsior stench
works east of Newark, has no living
rival And I would also add that its
dead rivals would do well to look care
fully after their laurels. So 1 got a
hamper of this cheese with a little
damper in the top which I could open
whenever I wanted a little solitude.
1 also procured some biltong and a small
mill to use in grinding mealie, against
the time when we should be beyond the
reach of Acker, Merrall & Condit’s de
livery wagons. I took with me in my
inside pocket a small autograph album
which 1 purposed getting Emin Tuto-
wiler, to write into as soon as we had
relieved him. I said little to my chief,
who had preceded mo via Ocean Grove
and Capo May: bat it was my idea while
he was thus leisurely scouting through
the game country and tracing the
sources of tho Passaic to qnietly slip in
and relieve Emin Tutewller myself, thus
compelling my chief to play the rear
A number of others of the fair sex
■were interviewed, and a majority ot
them give the following result:
Society, personal, fashion notes, ro
mances. One or two of a domestic tnru
like to read receipts, and several study
with interest instructions for fancy nee
dle work. A good number, like the
first, were partial to humorous items.

via Newport and the steamer Pilgrim,

to him.
The head of the expedition has stated in
one of hfa magazine articles that we fooled
away too much time at Far Rockaway,

Hundreds of Workmen Repairing the
Damage Caused by the Tornado.l
Wilkesliarre, Pa., August 23.—
[Special.]—In all parts of the city hun
dreds of carpenters and brick-layers are
engaged in repairing the damage done
by the tornado, and hundreds more
could be employed. Food and money
are sorely needed, though most of the
sufferers are being relieved by the poor
authorities and (lie charitably disposed.
Work will ho suspended for the next
sixty days at the Hillman Mine. The
headhouse of the breaker was complete
ly blown away and part of tho machin
ery damaged. -For a time the hundred
men who were in the mine when the
storm came were in a precarious condi
tion, as the fan had stopped, but' they
made for the shaft and got safely out.
A naked lamp iguited the gas that
quickly accumulated, and this, too,
threatened serious consequences, but a
shift of six men fought the flames and
finally put them out. The Delaware
and Hudson Canal Company today be'
gan the reconstructiou of their demol
ished buildings.
The city was again thronged with
siglit-soers to-day. The injured are all
doing well, and us far as known i.o ad
ditional deaths have occurred.
THE START.
guard act and give me an opportunity
by means of a stcreopticon and lecture
to do a good business with the Young
Men’s Christian association on my re
turn.
Mr. Astor-Plaice said that he would
advise me to procure two or three gun
hearers who were familiar with tho in
terior and who had become acclimated..
I therefore secured two gun bearers for
my own nse named Sahib Williams and
Congo Briggs. 1 got them of Sir George
Pullman, who said he did not want them
any more. One of them had lost a cake
of soap somewhere between Fort Way no
and Chicago, and although he had looked
very diligently over every inch of the
ground he ouuld not find it, so Sir
George had to bounce him for the exam
ple and iu order to preserve the disci
pline. Congo Briggs had thoughtlessly
shut up one of the director's children in
an upper berth and forgotten about it
till he got into Forty-second street,
where the parents discovered that they
were short one cliild.
Our start was auspicious. I had armed
myself with an elephant gun and an ex
press rifle, which with my hat box and
an oil stove were in the hands of my gun
bearers. We carried with ns a few
macadamized sea biscuit and some im
pervious pie in a shawl strap, in case we
should not find any pie trees in bearing
on our arrival in the interior. We
sailed on the 16th, and touched at Hell
Gate on the same day. taking this wav

do not know how much a plambo is,
neither doth I reck a plain, low price
reck. I know that we did not stay any
longer than necessary at Far Rockaway,
as some of our party had to get some
laundry work done there before we could
proceed to the interior. One of onr gun
bearers also became violently ill at that
place ftom eating the rind of a water
melon that had been prostrated by the
heat
So far as the spoopju is concerned, we
took what Mr. Jaggs thought would Iw
necessary, thinking that the main expe
dition, perhaps, had made other arrange
ments. I also remained a day or two
longer at Far Rockaway than had at first
been intended, partly because I did not
know hut that Emin might be disguised
and stopping there, and partly because 1
wanted to.
On arriving at Coney Island I intended
to leave Mr. Owen S. Kinney in charge
of Manhattan Beach, Mr. Jaggs in charge
of Brighton Beach, and with Mr. Sawd
orf Astor-Plaice to push on along the low
flat country lying between Pernambuco
point and the West End, for thus I would
cut Emin off from other relief expedi
tions unless they should come in via the
iron steamboat or per droska from Brook
lyn.
We had only proceeded a little way to
the westward when one of our Wang-
wana was taken with violent retchings
and paroxysms, caused, as I afterward
learned, by overeating the luscious hut
unripe dingle dangle fruit of the island,
which grows in great abundance to tho
southward and resembles our American
popcorn ball. I administered a box of
largo navy blue pills made by a dealer
on Broadway whose name and chock 1
did not get in time for nse iu this report.
These pills are about the size of a brass
tliimhle, and I think are called the lie
plus ultra, or seek no further, pill. It is
by far the most faithful and painstaking
pill, I think, that I have ever used in my
African explorations. No matter how
far I would go into the interior this pill
was there, like my good angel, urging
me and cheering mo to go still farther.
This delay, caused by the illness of
Congo Briggs, necessitated our return to
Brighton Beach, where I was also com
pelled to draw on our paper for more
doth This consumed time and money,
bat I felt confident that if 1 could reach
the West End before autnnin with my
justly celebrated remedy I could cer
tainly relieve Emin Tntewiler before the
main expedition got there.
My delay was also fortunate, I may
add, for during my stay I met the great
Arnwimi chief. Croker, who came to tho
coast at this time. He is the head of the
powerful tribe of the Aruwimis which
dwells to the northward, and which gets
its name from a part of its war cry,
which is this:
“Arnwimi or Aginme?’
This is uttered in a strong, guttural
tone of voice, and serves to encourage
and unite tho tribe much more than
Conjnnctio lirmat, which is the motto
of the Buttermakers’ union, of Orange
county.
After a week’s rest, during which our
supply of whang leather spighetti and
durable pie gave out, so that we were
obliged to resort to the hnnting case
oyster and the wall eyed clam, we pro
cured a wad of mealie, a jag of spoopju
and resumed onr journey. Wo entered
the poorly ventilated jungle on the fol
lowing evening, and camped beneath a
huge axle tree, which was loaded with
Vienna bread fruit I must here men
tion that this whole country wonld be
far more healthful if the juhglee could
bj| better ventilated. As is well known,
the elephant and other noxious fauna
penetrate the jangles and sleep there
nights, sometimes as high as three or
four in a bed. They get up in the morn
ing, and go away without doing their
chamberwork with any degree of care
or airing tho jungle even, forgetting that
It must be again occupied on the follow
ing night. As soon as the cannibals of
Coney Island who live off each other are
shown the method of salvation and its
absolute freedom from duties and im
posts, I hope that philanthropists will
call their attention to ventilation. Those
who may have had charge of elephants for
any length of time, and been thus com
pelled to room with them, will remem
ber with what paucity of diligence and
with what lavishness of neglect they
bathed their feet. This in their home
life gives the jungle an elephantine
flavor which is hound to keep many of
onr tropical missionary cafes in the back
ground for years.
Wo had a pretty tongh journey over
tho entire trip, hut made our trusty gun
bearers do all tho work while we did the
best we could. We were sustained and
soothed daring this trying ordeal by the
knowledge that we were doing a good
deed and also that there was nothing for
us to do at homo.
Qn the 23th of July the largest ek
phant I had ever seen hove in sight, and
in an hour’s time we had struck his
spoor. I directed my trusty gun bearer
to get ready with the express rifle load
ed with double pointed tacks and barbed
w..e, also to load up the elephant gun,
as the animal seemed now ready to
charge, which in less time than it takes
me to write it he had done.
I was somewhat disappointed in the
power and extent of his charge, how
ever, as I remarked to Congo Briggs at
the time, for it was really a very reason
able charge indeed.
in a short time we had reached the
point where I was sure wfrwould run
across the spoor of Emin Tntewiler. I
began to inquire of the natives and to
look about me on every hand, but 1
could get no clew of him whatever until
dark, when a native who came to my
tent with some tain, which he offered to
exchange for colored heads and a small
Bible which I was reading, gave me my
first news of Emin. Ho Bold, which I
afterward found to be true, that Emin
had heard that he was shortly to get re
lieved, and so he took the 4 o’clock boat
homo.
The above is written in good faith, in
order that tho public may understand
the true inwardness of this expedition,
and in order that my trusty fellow trav
elers, who paid their own expenses and
took their lives in one hand, as it were,
and their washing in the other, may
stand before tho public iu their true
lights, and not suffer the grave injustice
which others have sought to thrust upon
them. Whilst we did not relieve Emin
Tntewiler, we had it there for him if he
chose to accept it. He could take it or
ho could let it alone. We do not go
around coaxing people to be discovered
and relieved by ns.
Both Mr. Jaggs and Mr. Sawdorf
Astor-Plaice will deliver a few lectures
this coming season on “Insect Life on
the Congo, and How to Snare Ele
phants.” Letters addressed to my care
will be just as safe as they would any
where. Bill Nye,

PROCLAMATION
In Athens Yesterday for the
Time In 30 Years.
Iu Yesterday’s Banner was au ac
count of the long absence of a brother
and sister from civilization. To-day
we have another and similar account of
a gentleman who was in Athens yes
terday for the first time in thirty years
His name was Mr. Bill Bridges, and he
lives in the Flat Woods district of Ogle
thorpe county. Here he was born and
reared, and from it he has not budged
since the war.
He is an intelligent man, and the only
reasou he gives for his voluntary exile
was that he had no business elsewhere
and would rather spend his time
home than anywhere else. He had
little business to attend to in Athens
yesterday, however, and came in on the
Georgia accommodation. This he took
in pr* ference to the fast train, which,
he Baid, moved too rapidly for him.
Iu talking with a reporter, he said
that he had not been in Athens for
thirty years,, aud had not been on atrain
since the war until yesterday. Since
the war, he has remained at Ins home,
working his farm, and taking little in
terest in w at the outside world was do
ing*
Here he has been living within a few
miles of our city, and for thirty years
had not put his foot within its limits.
TJie case is especially peculiar on ac
count of Mr. Bridge’s intelligence, and
of the fact that while he has no desire
to live the life of a hermit, he so long
absented himself from all but his nearest
neighbors and those who couie into the
neighborhood.
