THE CLEVELAND PROGRESS. DEVOTED TO THE MINING, AGRICULTURAL AND EDUCATIONAL INTERESTS OE CLEVELAND, WHITE COUNTY AND NORTH-EAST GEORGIA TERMS 1.00 Ter Yea By JOE H. REESH. VOL. V. CLEVELAND, WHITE CO., OA., FRIDAY, JUNE 12, 1896. NO. 21. Every married woman looks as if she needed a little more love, but what she really needs is a little more money. It ia interesting to note that while the death rate among children hae been per oeptibly lessened that among adults it has increased. Nineteenth century pro* grees and research protects the life at one end, only to overtax and snap it off at the other. Forty thousand acres of virgin forest in northern Idaho will soon be turned over to the axmen of a big lumber syn dicate. It is expected this area will yield more than 400,000,000 feet of white and yellow pine, red and while fir, cedar and tamarack. Thg new law requiring all enlisted men of the army to be citizens of the United States has begun to work results in this direction. Many of the soldiers have begun to realise what the new law means, and, in anticipation of their reenlistment, have taken steps to make themselves eligible. About a half hundred of those sfalioned at Fortress Monroe recently obtained leave of absence and went up to Norfolk, where the United States dis trict court was in session, and took out their naturalization papers. Skates were tested against the bicycle recently at Copenhagen. W. Ilenie, a Norwegian champion skater, who is also a bicyclist and won the 100-kilometre world’s championship at Antwerp last August, raced againBt the Danish cham pion, Svend Hansen, on a safety. At 500 metros the bicycle won in 55 3 5 seconds, Henie making 61 seconds. In a race of 5 miles Henie won in 1C min utes 31 seconds, but Hansen had broken his rear tire. At a late wedding In one of the mid cast cities just before the entrance of the bride the room burBt into a flood of light from numerous multi-colored electric lamps hidden among the decorations. The entrance o* the bridal couple was signalized by the automatic ringing of electrical musical instruments. During the wedding breakfast, after the first coarse, the light faded, and then sud denly there glowed illuminations from a a swarm of electrical lamps. Hidden among masses of flowers, glowing from the hearts of jellies and from translucent vases, it seemed as if the genii of the lower world were everv where at work. 1895 the butchers of that burg killed and sold the flesh of 400,000 cattle, 600,- 000 sheep, 500,000 calves and 700,000 hogs, to say nothing of the horses and fowls. A cork town councillor m credited with having thus spoken: "There can be no doubt of the virulence of this epidemic, for I know of people lying dead from it who never died before.” The same gen tleman thus chivalrously defended a col league: “I strongly protest against this attack on my absent friend, for surely it is not right to hang a man behind his back.”—The Spectator. As it ia thus the design of nature to get rid of the outer bark, It Is good praottoe to help nature in this work. For this purpose, washes of various Kinds are found in praotice extremely useful. In fruit culture, soapy solutions have been found very effective and in the unscientlflo work of successful farmers even lime wash has been found beneficial. In some of the interior counties of Pennsylvania, a farmer would almost as Boon think of never cleaning his horses,as letting his orchard trees go without a coating of lime wash once a yeir. The praotioal results of this treatment speak for themBelves. No healthier trees or more successful fruit orops can be had than result from this practice. w THE STATE OF GEORGIA.

A South Carolina judge bad the un heard ot experience of being indicted by bis own grand jury the other day. The cudge went to the town of Lumberton to hold court, hut he was so drunk that he had to be put to bed. Hia friends suc- eeded in sobering him up so that on the next day be could go on the bench, but after one hour he adjourned court and continued hia spree. This plan was carried on for three days, and the grand jury brought in an indictment fordrunk- •nneas. While the legislature can im peach him for dronkenness, the foot that the legislature does not meet nntil 1897 is not very consoling to the people Eacn of the new ocean steamships coming to this port, carries on a single trip across the water immense quantities of food, especially when there is a big passenger list. In the cold storage rooms of one of these vessels are stored something like 20,000 pounds of fresh beef, 1,000 pounds of corned beef, 10,- 000 pounds of mutton , 1,400 pounds of lamb, 500 pounds of pork, 3,500 pounds of fresh fish, 1,000 fowls, 400 chickens, 150 ducks, 100 turkeys and 80 geese. In the vegetable department 30 tons of po tatoes, together with 80 enormous ham pers of green stuff. Ice cream is present to the extent of 300 quarts, and tnere are 1,000 quarts of milk. Groceries form an equally large item in the cater ing department. For in this way the vast steamer is provided with 1,000 pounds of tea, 1,500 pounds of coffee, 2,800 pounds and 4,500 pounds respict- ively of white and moist sugar; with 1,000 pounds of pulverized sugar, 2,400 pounds of cheese, 3,000 pounds of but ter, 6,000 pounds of ham and 1,800 pounds of bacon.—New York Advertiser. Tnx great event of the year 1896 is the total eclipse of the sun, visible only in the extreme portion of Japan, Amoor River, Siberia, Nova Zembia and the northern part of Norway, within the Arctic Circle. It ia estimated that there will be many expeditions from vaiious points in Europe, England, Germany and France. On June 27(h a party of 200 Americans will leave Philadelphia to view the eclipse at Bodo, on the morning of August 8th . It will also be possible to get a glimpse of the mid night sun, which is seen at the North Cape at the horizon at midnight, as late aa August 1st. Thus, within a few days, it will be possible to Bee the full sun at midnight, and a few days later a morning midnight. The expedition will be accompanied by many astronomers and students of natron' mv. The large amount of fuel required for very high-speed racing boats has been the subject of thorough investigation by experte, in Older, if possible, to reduce th quantity of coal necessary for this purpose. Some of tbe British torpedo boat chaai-rs are thought to be the moat perfect vessels ol t.heirclass in existence but in order to attain a thirty knot speed, they must carry sixty tons of coal. This is fully one quarter of their entire sea-going dieplacement. Under high speed they consume between three and a half and four tons of coal an hour. To proppl a vessel with a 6Deed of even twenty knots an hour, the consumption of iuel is tremendous. Twenty-seven knots an bonr is the best speed of the ordinary torpedo boat. In order to rtachtle thirty knot line fully 50 per cent more fuel is required.—New York L-dgT. The annual meat bill of London something wonderful. During tbe year i S the whey which is nutritious. Photograph Holder. A pretty and inexpensive box for photo graphs can be made of six pieces of ideas and five rards of ribbon. Now that albums are no longer In vogue it Is necessary to find some kind ot receptacle in whicb to place the precious ‘'photos” of absent friends. Procure four pieces of glass six and a half by four and a half inches, or even a little larger, and two pieces four and 'a half Inches square. Of coarse if the other pieces are made larger these end pieces must be cut accordingly large. The glaas can be cut the required size at the glass dealer’s. Bind each piece with inch-wide tape drawing it very smooth and taut and fastening it well at each corner with stout thread. Then bind with ribbon any width to salt your taste. If heavy, strong ribbon is nsed no tape need be sewed on first. Fasten the pieces together at the corners, leaving the cover open at one side. Finish the four top corners with bows of ribbon and pnt on a small brass ring, which has been button- hold stitched witn silk matching tbe ribbon, to lift the cover with. When the photo graphs are pnt in one can be placed to face ont at each side of the fonr sides or If not so desired they may be placed in face to face compactly.

There is some talk of establishing a new council of the Royal Arcanum in Athens. A dwelling house at Locust Grove, be longing to Mr. Combs, was destroyed by fire Monday morning. While riding a bicycle at Montgomery, Ala., Sunday, Dave Lofterwioh, ot Col umbus, Ga., was thrown from his wheel and his collar bone broken. The Bank of Henry county has been organized at McDonough with Hon. Thomas D. Stewart president, H. J. Copeland vice-president and E. M. Cope land cashier. The bank will begin oper ations July 1. Fulton county baa entered suit in the superior court against Treasurer Colum bus Payne and bis sureties, C. W. Hun- nicutt and 8. H. Venable, for $10,080. This is the alleged amount of the short age of ex-Clerk Cooper. At Dublin Sunday Mrs. J. II. Walton, wife of Dr. J. H. Walton, was thrown from her bicycle and very seriously though not fatally, injured. The wheel ran into a ditch while going at a high rate of speod down grade. Robert Dove, a young apprentice in the composing room of the Atlanta >y>urnal, met a tragic death at Rome Monday. While bathing in the Etowah he dived fiom the bank, striking his head against a rock, killing him in stantly. Ilia body has not yet been re covered. George W. Bucknerf a wealthy and prominent lawyer of New York, died sud denly at the Aragon hotel at Atlanta Saturday afternoon. Mr. Buckner was 84 years of age, but in comparatively good health up to Friday Afternoon. At that time he went lor : ^ around the nine-mile circle, and seemi to enjoy the diversion greatly. On his return, ho complained of being ill and grew rapidly worse, and died at 5 o’clock Saturday alternoon. The first peaches of the season were brought to Fort Valley Saturday by W. H. Bridenstein of the Moss Lake nursery. They were of the Snead variety and were very fine. Mr. Bridenstein says in about one week there will be a good many of the Snead variety ripe and ready for shipment. The prospects now are that the fruit crop will be very good and arrangements are now being made to handle it. The trees are looking very fine, and although a good many peaches have dropped off there are still plenty on the trees. The committees of the military inter state association are now busily engaged in getting their reports in shape. The finance and entranco committees are ready to make reports just as soon as the treasurer’s books are in shape so that he can make a report, a meeting of the directors of the association will be called. This may be this afternoon or tomorrow. At any rate a meeting will be held before the latter part of the week. —Savannah News. To Make Pot Cheese. I send you my method of making cottage cheese or echmlerkase. Tbe milk should not be over 24 hours old and mast be card • d quickly. It the weather is cool, do not atiempt making The cream should be re moved immediately before setting the milk to heat. Place the earthen vessel in a pan of hot water npon the stove, or if the jar has feet, put a stove lid between the jar and the stove, so that the heat does not come in di rect contact with the vessel containing tbe milk. Subject to quick heat, or moderately hot, until the curd forms. By cutting in squares with a case knife, the warm whey aids coagulation. When the curds appear crumbling, and when taken between the fingers, can be crushed—they are sufficiently cooked. If desired to serve soft, pour into a colander, and do not drain very dry. Pour out into an earthen dish, and allow the curds to stand unsaulted until desired for serving; ilien salt very little and mix very carelully, adding to one pintoi curds, one- hall cupful of sweet cream beaten to a foam and stirred in gently. Always use the day made. If desired to serve in cakee or balls, pour tbe curd9 into a bag and submit to pressure, or into any moids or shapes desired, and then pour the cream around when served, one mold to each person. Some people rinse the curds after straining, but I think that it renders the eheeee indigestible, as it Josh Tve and Charles Herman of At lanta will he called on to pay the bond of W. E. Lamb of Habersham county for feited in the court there. He was charged with misdemeanor and his bond fixed at 1300. Tbe two Atlanta men s’gned it. When judgment had been ob tained against these gentlemen and the propeity levied on was about to be sold, an injunction was granted by Judge Lumpkin. Saturday the when the case came up for a hearing the injunction was dismissed and tbe bond will have to be paid. F. D. Aliken,acting for Gen. Henry R. Jackson, president of the Suwannee Canal Company, baa closed a deal with a manufacturer for 350,000 pounds of steel rails for the Suwaunee Canal Com pany’s railroad extension from Folkston to Bullhead Bluff, on the Satilla.whereby Brunswick is placed in direct shipping connection with the Okefinokee swamps lumber industry. The line will be twenty- two miles in length and will connect the largest milling enterosts of the south with the beBt sea outlet in tbe same territory. For the present only freight trains, will be run on the new road. The first trip will be made about July 5. A dispatch from Fitzgerald, the new Grand Army colony in Southwest Georgia, state that at a mass meeting of white residents notice was served on the negroes who had come t.o tbe colony that their presence was not desired, and that they must move. Tho announce ment read: “If this is to be a white man’s colonv, let’s have it white; if not, let the negroes have it.” ■ James Howard, colored, was cut by two white men in front of Kaufman’s restaurant, on South Broad street, about midnight, last night. The two men were standing on the street when How ard passed with a woman. Tho men said something to Howard, when he cursed them. They then attacked him with knives. After cutting Howard the men ran through the restaurant into the lame and escaped. The police are making a search for them, but bad not learned their names at last report, Howard went to Dr. S. P. Lloyd, colored, to have his wounds dressed. He was not seriously ctf. —Savannah News. A Macon special says: M. Deegau, who came to Macon from Savannah eight months ago and engaged in the cotton business, crawled over the side of the wagon bridgo across the Ocmulgee river early this morning and plunged thirty feet into the water below. When rescued he wub unconscious, ami re- m$(ned at the city hail under treatment alljlay and was token to his boarding house to-night. Weighing 220 pounds, falling into eight feet of water, his pe was miraculous. He sayB he Buffering with headache, and does know whether he was Bitting on the ;e wall to cool or whether he became orarily insane and crawled over suicidal intent. No one saw him udiil he was within a few feet of the wiater. He struck on his back. Work men repairing the bridge rescued him with boats, after he had sunk twice.

A few days later Allen married one of tbe Delk girls. In creasing the confidence of the old out law in him, this step caused his brother- in-law to turn against him, and when the Atlanta detectives finally took up Alien’s plan and succeeded in making the capture, it looked as if he was shut clean out of the reward. The old man is anxious to make a stake to pay hia law yers, however, and has come out in a statement giving Alien credit (or tho capture. Based upon this, Allen will make a fight for the reward and divide with the old man if he should get it. Edgar L. Landrum, a young man well known in Atlanta, is cutting a wide swath in the affections of the young ladies in Washington. He left Atlanta aorne time ago for Washington and re gistered at the Hhoreham hotel there last Saturday. The evening of the same day he called at the home of Miss Rena Duval, a postal telegraph operator, at. the Ebbitt house, who lives with her brotner and widowed mother. After entering the parlor he banded Mias Duval a letter starting out with "My Darling Sweetheart: Do you believe in love at first sight? If so,won’t you be my sweet little wife?” Then the letter proceeded to inform her how he had become charmed with her while he lingered about the Ebbitt, but could not get a chance to speak to her. He vowed that he was miserable without her and asked that she consent at once to marriage. In a postscript he said he was rich. The brother of Miss Duval induced Landrum to leav , but Sunday morning again the fellow called at 5 o’clock with a carriage, Mr. Duval told him to come back later in tl e day—then informed the police. The officers have been watching for the stranger. who is evidently insane, but he has disappered. AROUND THE WORLD.

Crulao ot tho taurada. The New York Sun Bays “Official news of tbe fate of the Lauraila is momentary expected by Cubans in New York. A telegram was received yesterday by a prominent member of the junta, giving news of the safe landing of the expedition but as usual in such cases, neither Senor Estrada Palma, nor Dr. Castillo liked to confirm the report, until they received a cable from the manager of the expedi tion dated from the port to which the steamer will proceed after leaving her cargo in the hands of the patriot army. The Laurada expedition is considered by Cubans as well as Spaniards as the most important which has Bailed from this country to aid the patriots. It is now an open secret that the Spanish Consul, Senor Baldasano, sent n long dispatch to.Gen Weyler when the expe- detion sailed, in which he stated that it was a formidable one, and that he had been prevented from detaining the steamer at New York by the fact that it was Sunday, and he could not obtain a warrant. The Laurada expedition cost tho junta $120,000. Tho rovenuo cutter Boutwell, Capt. Fengar, has been ordered to prococd to sea in search for the Laurada. The Boutwell’s cruising ground is from Beau fort south to St. Johns river, (’apt.Fen gar will keep a sharp lookout for tho filibusterer, and ii she cruises within sight of the Boutwell, or within range of her guns, eho will bo taken possession of at once. Steamship Horsa Gutted. The British steamship Horsa, the ves sel which has become notorious aB an alleged Cuban flllibuster haB put in at Southport, at the mouth of the Cape Fear river. She had been on fire and waB pretty thoroughly glutted, being not much more than a shell. She sailed from Fort Morant, Jamaica with a cargo of fruit May 13. Fire broke out in the forecastle on the 16th and was not under control until the morning of the 17th. She was then 300 miles from one of the Bahama Islands. The steamer was commanded by Cap tain O. E. Cook of Calais, Me., who was found to be missing between 8 and 4 o'clock on the morniDg of the 18th. It. is supposed he fell overboard and was drowned. He was fifty years of age, a married man and leaves a family. The crew consisted of twenty men, Beven of whom are Spaniards. Charles E. Mc Intosh, first mate of the Horsa, brought her into Southport. The origin of the fire ia involved in much mystery, and seme think that Spanish gold is at the bottom of it. The disappearance, of the captain also ex cited comment. The crew is safe. l.ootlnir or a It an lc, O. A. Miller, of Chicago, president of the Hernia Treatment Company, with offices m numerous cities of tho union, haH been indicted by tho grand jur vof tho Denver, Colo., federal district on tho charge of embezzling $125,000 M tho Commercial National hank’s funds.

Pension Law Amdendment* Among the bills passed by the seuate recently is one amending the pension laws so that those who served in the Confederate service and thereafter en tered the Union service prior to Septem ber, 1804, s rving for ninety daye, shall not be debarred from pension by reason ofprevious Confederate service. The Immigration Law. After two days’ debate tho House has passed by the overwhelming vote of 195 to 20, tho Bartholdt-MeCall Immigra tion Bill as modified by the Corliss amendment. The Stono Consular in spection bill, which was offered as a sub stitute, was defeated by a vote of 75 to 131. The bill as passed adds to the classes of aliens excluded from admission to the United States all male persons between the ages of 10 to 00 years of age (except parents of persons living in this country 1 who cannot both read and write English or some other language. The Corliss amendment, added to the bill, excludes aliens who come acroea t he borders year after year to perform labor in the United States with no intention of sottliug therein. It declares all labor contracts with aliens void, and makes parties thereto within the jurisdiction of the United States punishable by a fine of $1,000 or imprisonment not exceeding one year; makes it a misdemeanor for naturalized citizens, who have returned to a foreign country, making tho same his home, to ugain perform labor in the United .States; makoB it a misdemeanor fur any alien to cross the border for labor in the United States except at a oort ol entry, and impose a head tax of 50 cents on each immigrant. Kvery Miner Saved. The Midlothian coal mine, twonty-five miles from Richmond, Va., took fire last night. There were eleven miners in the grove shaft, which is GOO feet deep, when the fire broke out, and fears were at first entertained ttiat allot them would be lost. A cable was, however, sent up from Richmond, and the entombed miners were reecued unhurt, at an early hour this morning, amid scenes of much excitement. Their escape was the more remarkable, as all tho buildings over the shaft were completely destroyed. How Hens Vary as Layors- In regard to the number and size of eggs I remember two pullets that laid much larger eggs than others of the same uge and breeding and inoro than the average number. One of the pullets was somewhat undersized. There were also two other pullets laying very Binail eggs, and much more than the average in number, blank days occurred at long intervals. Theso observations extended only during tho few months of hatching, not for tho entire season. So far os breeds go, it has been my experience to get the fewest eggs from liens laying larger ones. From Iloudans, laying very largo eggs, very satisfactory num bers were obtained. Leghorns gavo more of considerably smaller size, and Hambu‘gs produced a much greater number of very small eggs. Tho Ilou dans, however, were confine! much of tho time, the Leghorns sonio of the tiino, wliilo the Hamburgh had almost un limited run most of the year. This was fifteen or twenty years ago, and L can not now give morn specific records, for I did not then appreciate tho importance of collecting them. Later experience with Minorcan, which laid very large eggs, was to the effect that they were less prolific than tbe Leghorns. Eggs from nino Leghorn hens, laying on the average for year, 143 eggs, aver aged 1.80 ounce each, while eggs from nine other hens fed the same, and whose average egg production was a fraction over 93 eggs,averaged 1.01 ounces each. Two hens averaging 11 I eggs each dur ing thoir second year, proluced eggs that averaged 1.98 ounces in weight,and two other similar hens, whose egg pro duction was 75 eggs each.laid eggs aver aging exactly the same in weight. A Cochin hen whose eggs average 2,22 ounces in weight, laid 122 during the year. Another (samo meed and food) laid 130 eggs, averaging .1.90 ounce Of two Leghorns whose eggs averaged the same in weight, viz., 201 ounces, one laid 132 eggs ami the other 02 eggs dur ing the year. Individual instances show such variations as toindicute no general relation between number and sizo of eggs, and enough data are not available tojustify conclusions irem tbe averages. 1 have always thought, however, that he hen laying very largo eggs, as a rule laid few’er thaothe average.—Win. P. Wheeler, in Rural New York.
