THE CLEVELAND PROGRESS. By JOE H. REESH. DEVOTED TO THE MINING, AGRICULTURAL AND EDUCATIONAL INTERESTS OF CLEVELAND, WHITE COUNTY AND NORTH-EAST GEORGIA. TERMS. 1.00 Ter Year. VOL. V. CLEVELAND, WHITE CO., GA„ FRIDAY, JULY 10, 1896. NO. 28. In the famous treatise of William Gil bert on the magnet, printed in 1600, the word 1 'electric" is first used and electricity is for the first time recognized as a branch of science. Da. Park Benjamin of New York owns a copy of the first printed work relating toelectricity. It appeared in 1490in an edition of “The Lives of the Philoso phers’’ by Diogenes Laertius. Gladstone says that the solution of the Armenian problem "rests with the Almighty,” but it may be doubted if Great Britain can thus shift the respon sibility for a situation that exists by her permission and practical approval. It is staled that some timo this year work will be started on the New Orleans and Western, which is projected to run from New Orleans to Texas, about equi distant from the Southern Pacific and the Texas and Pacific. The section is rich in lumber. Brazil does not want to arbitrate the dispute about Trinidad. There is noth ing in this to be wondered at. When a citizeu is held up by a footpad he would resent a proposition to arbitrate. To make arbitration successful there must be at least the shadow of justice on each side of the question. The bicycle manufacturers are expect ing to sell about 800,000 of those vehicu lar contrivances this year, the aggregate cost of which to tlio purchasers will not be less than $60,000,000. The rapidity with which the wheel has gained in pop ularity is ono of the striking facts of cur rent history, and it has manifestly come to stay. A magazine writer says that Cripple Creek got its name from a trio of pros pectors who happened to stop on the banks of the stream becauso their mule had gone lame. They discovered signs of gold and decided to stay aw ile. While putting up a shanty one of tho men fell from the roof and struck on the dog which they bad with them, breaking his own arm and the leg of the canine. This mmle tfrree Uoaoftheir ownproi name. F 16 Fn lTT Tr aa c Touching what are called "the ameni ties ot war,” Archibald Forbes remarks in his recant book that much that is said upon the subject is mere humbng. The object of military operations, he points out, is to deal as hard blowH against the opposing as possible, and then to cause so much suffering to tho inhabitants of a country that they will long for peace. “War is hell,” Nher man once declared; and Sheridan said “Nothing should be left to the people hut eyes to lament.” dollars, and while the poachers cannot resist the consequent temptation, the park is so extensive that n6 effectual pro tection can be afforded by the few troop ers in charge. Professor Langley sug gests the removal of the buffalo to the National Zoological Park in Washington, from which, as their numbers increased, they could be distributed throughout the United States. Otto Lilienthal, who for several years has been practicing the art of Hy ing, or soaring, with artificial wings near Berlin, has recently made an im provement in his apparatus. Instead of a Bingle large framework for the “wings,” he now uses two smaller frames, one placed above tho other, and connected by cords. This device has greatly in creased the sailing power of his machine. Starting from the top of the artificial hill, which he has thrown up in the midst of a broad plain, Lilienthal is able not only to glide for long distances in the air, but to sail against the wind. Formerly he had to take a preliminary run before launching himself from the hill, but now, with a moderately brisk wind, he can start without running, and if tho breezo is strong enough it lifts him from tiie hilltop and sots him moving agaiust its own direction without effort on his part, except to balance himself properly, lie has even occasionally risen above ttie point from which he started. Lilienthal has had one or two Berious falls, but is confident thnt he can accomplish much more tbau he lias yet done in the realm of the birds.

Dont Want Competition- The market has been deluged with Cape .lessamine buds the past two weeks, the fruit commission house getting more than could dispose of, low as the prices were. These beautiful flowers came from Mississippi, Texas, Alabama and Louisiana, but unfortunately the prices did not average much over ex press charges. Although those attrac live flowers cannot be grown In this climate, the tlorists here are alow to take hold of them and do not encourage their shipment, realizing, no doubt, that they Interfere with the sale and dlstribu- produots.—New York Cardinal Bonaparte, who died recen tly, wos a grandson Luclen, Bonaparte. He was a very charitable man. Daring one of his illnesses a servant came to him aDd said that a poor person at the door begged for alms. "Give him what money you will find in uiy purse,” said the cardinal. “There is uo money eminence.” “Well, theu, give him a silver spoon.” "The Hilver spoons are all given away. We have nothing left but pewter spoons.” “Well, bring him in and give him a good meal.” American caudy is proving very suc cessful in England, where the confec tioner’s art is at a low Htage. An Amer ican teaveler reports that “an English candy store, called a‘sweetmeat, shop,’ is a tirrible sight; everything looks siicky, nasty, and largely colored with obviously unhealthy substances. Also, there seems to rre little if any attempt to keep these ‘sweetmeats' fresh, and the prices at which they are sold—20 cents a pound—almost precludes their being made of good materials." Log Weakness- The time of year is now coming when many a Btock cock will become afllicted with so-called “leg weakness,” and there are some who will recommend the rub bing of the bird’s legs with embrocations, etc. Possibly many birds may have re covered after being so treated, but what we would like to say is that in our opin ion the treatment had nothing to do with their after health, at least not such treatment as had reference to the rub bing of the legs. To our mind it is simply a matter of the fowl's system being run down, and nothing more. Remove such a bird from tho hens for a few weeks, and give daily, (night and morning) ten drops of colchicum wine in a teaspoon ful of cod liver oil, and we will guarantee that on such treatment he will recover in half tho time that he would have done from any outward application. Toshow the efficiency of our remedy, we mention a fact, well known in the fancy, of a bird we purchased some six or seven years ago in a gift class at Tunbridge Wells show. Although he had won numbers of challenge cups and first prizes, he was in such a wretched condition, and had been lor a long while, that his owner had sent him to the gift class, and he had been sold previous to our arrival for Is. (Id. We found out the purchaser, and eventuelly bought the bird for 3s. Or). Wittiiu twenty minutes of giving him a dose of the above the fowl was eagerly eating his feed, and within a very short space ot tune tiad fully regaiued the use of I is legs, and eventually proved to^be a most remunerative purchase. Feathered World. -The In Australia they have a whale cure for rheumatism which is said to be effec tive, though disagreeable. It was dis covered by a drunken man, who was staggering along the beach near the whaling station at Twofold Buy, and who, seeing a dead whale cut open, took a header into the decomposing blubber. It took two hours for him to work his way out, but he was then not only sober, but cured of bis rheumatism. N jw a hotel has been bailt in the neighboring town ol Eden, where rheumatism pa tients wait for the arrival of a whale in order to take blubber baths.

Potted ham is nice for sandwiches, but good ones may be made ot any meat that is moat convenient, (except bacon, or ‘‘side meat”). Palatable sandwiches may be made with out meat.

Five cars of that fruit came in Savannah over the Florida Central and Peninsular railroad Saturday. Ono was for Savannah, and the other four were for New York. The melons came from the southern part of Florida. Two small children of a negro family living on Dr. W. II. Tatum's plantation in Stewart county were playing near a well, the younger fell in and was drowned. The other went to the field whore the mother was working and told her that the baby was in the well asleep. A negro man and a boy, 12 years of age, were drowned late Monday while trying to cross a swollen branch near Xewnan. They were in a wagon, but the stream, lately strengthened by rains, was too swift. The wagon was overturned and the occupants drowned. The horse escaped. A negro woman named Julia Jones, living on Mr. M. A. Pope’s place, at Washington, who had been bitten by a cat about twelve months ago, died last Wednesday night, with all the symptoms of hydrophobia. The bito had never troubled her any time since it occurred, and the cat is still living, with no sy nip toms of madness. Tho wreck on the Florida Central and Peninsutar railroad near Savannah dur ing May week will result in one or more big lawsuits from Brunswick. One that now seems inevitable will be instituted by local attorney Smith on behalf of Mrs. Sam Nathan, for injuries personally sustained and for Mr. and Mrs. Sam Na‘ than for the loss of their son, the only fatality recorded by the wreck. The Georgia mineral and agricultural exhibits which excited such favorable comment at the Atlanta exposition, are being placed in position on the third floor of the capitoTfmTIcfing. The state of Georgia made an appropriation of $15,000 for this exhibit. The act appro priating the money provided that after the exposition was over the mineral and agricultural products should be made a permanent exhibit at the state capitol. A pardon has been issued at t lie execu- tive department for J. C. Price, who was convioted in 1892 in Fulton county for stealing a horse. Tho pardon was re commended by the pardon committee at its recent meeting, the evidence showing that Price had been on a protracted spree at the time of the theft, and that this was the reason why he failed to re turn the horse to its owner. Sol Maddox and G. C. Owens, two United States prisoners, escaped from Fulton county jail Tuesday night. Soou after dark the two men ripped up a plank from the flooring, punched a hole in the ceiling of the old wooden jail, gained the roof and from there they quietly dropped over the fence and escaped. Maddox had only thirteen days to serve. Owens had not been tried. The death of the oldest woman in Ful ton county, if not in Georgia, was record ed at the office of the board of health at Atlanta Tuesday. The woman was Car oline Bowden, colored, who lived at 50 Hollis street. Her age as recorded was 115 years, she having been born in 1781, at which time Washington was presi dent. The cause of the womai’s death, as given by the physicians, was “old age.” DuriDg the progress of the closing ex ercises of the Lutherville school Monday night, Walter Bingham shot and fatally wounded a young man by the name o! Thompson. Lutherville is a little town in Meriwether county. Bingham car ried his cousin, a Miss Gilbert, to Lutherville to attend the closing exer cises of the school and about night Thompson, who was paying some atten tion to Miss Gilbert, was seated by her in the rear end of the house. He was taking some improper liberties with Miss Gilbert whereupon she beckoned to Bingham to come over where they were. Bingham asked Thompson in a very polite manner to move ordeaist. Thomp son paid no attention to Bingham. Then the young lady moved and Bingham took a seat by her. Then Thompson walked over and angrily asked Bingham out. When they reached the yard in front of the door Thompson began pound ing and hitting Bingham over the head with brass knacks, making some ugly wounds. Someone handed Bingham a pistol duriug the fray and Bingham shot Thompson in the neck, making a.i ugly wound which will prove fatal. The reorganisation of the Central of i Georgia Railway has not been wound up yet, so far as the distribution of new se curities is concerned. The Mercantile Trust Company ot New York holds about one-third of the new bonds which it will deliver to the holders of its certi ficates properly endorsed. A good many of the depositors in the reorganization plan arostill holding theHouthern Bank’s temporary receipts, which will have to be exchanged with the bank for the Trust company’s certificates before the new bonds can be obtained. Although it was advertised several months ago that the bonds woro ready for delivery the security holders do not seem to lie in a hurry to get them—Savannah News. H. J. Kimbreil of Clarkston had taken from his arm last Sunday a piece of hick ory switch used on him over thirty years ago by a country school teacher for some frivolous offense, In the severe flogging young Kimbreil was receiving the hick ory broke, a piece penetrating tho mus clo of his arm. It was thought all the wood had been removed at the time, hut the wound bled so freely as to deceive the classmates, and quite recently the scars became inflamed and the wood was taken from his arm by Jack Sawyer Sun day morning. Mr. Kimbreil says the teacher cried and wrote his lather a nice note tho same day, sending, or rather starting it by him, which was thrown into a creek oast of Stone mountain, with a rock tied to it for a sinker. Gov. Atkinson has recently received twenty-two applications for scholarships in tho Augusta Medical Uollege. The state has the right to appoint for every collegiate year two young men from each congressional district to ho educated free at his institution. When a young man has tue good fortune to receive a schol arship at the hands of the governor, he can gain a medical education at a very small'cost, his expenses amounting to but little more than his board bill. These appointments are made every year, so that*thoso who have already received scholarships and urestill undergraduates must be reappointed to hold their place in the college. Some ol the twenty-two applications recently sent to the gover nor 4re from young men who have been inrttte institution, but th*gimti then) are from youths seeking ships for the first time. As some of the undergraduates of the college are not in cluded iu this list of applicants, and as the appointment ol the whole number would throw these men out of a place in the institution, it is cerluin that only a few scholarships will be given this year.

We read that a Parisian house furnisher Is now Introducing a novel little appliance for the carving at the table of chicken and other small fowl. The new instrument is com posed of a long, curved blade, to which a very much shorter blade is fastened In soia- Bors fashion.

A Daughter’s Part in the Home- Ail mothers are desirous that their daugh ters receive a liberal education but wo would warn them not to be neglectful of the home education, in the pursuit of the mental training. Do we not agree that one of the sweetest things a girl can do Is to he kihd, gentle and thoughtfnl to all her loved ones and to receive friends graceously in the home ? An exchange warns our girls not to stand oil in the middle of the room and how coldly and formally to the friend who has called. Walkover to meet her, give her your hand, and say pleasantly that you are very glad to see her again. Stiff, cold and formal ways of greeting acquaintances are not proper in a girl welcoming guests to her father’s house. A daughter's part la to assist her mother on every social occasion. The girl pours the tea in her mother's draw- sack aprons and the Mother Hubbard style which Is generally good for apron or drew. The sack aprons may have the round col lar, the end of sleeves and the tiny pocket trimmed with a narrow, oolored linen lace and a feather stitching of rope linen floes. The Mother Hubbard aprons may have a square, round or pointed yoke of the mate rial or of a contrasting color and material. The large sleeves may be gathered Into straight or turnback cuffs, or plain bands. The edge of yoke, sleeves and neck, may be trimmed with lace, embroidery or raffles of the same and a heading made of fancj braid, or a feather stitching oi Barbour’s linen. A very pretty apron is cut in sack shape but very wide, and the extra width taken up in tucks simulating a yoke, which with the roll collar and cuffs are trimmed with feather stitching. R. E. Mkrryman. Delightful Summer Desserts- Many of onr housekeepers refuse to at tempt making fancy Ices became they do not know how easily they can Do done. Here are some delicate deserts furnished by Table Talk: Frozen Pudding.—Make a quart of rich e Rg custard. Lot cool, add a glass of currant jelly, an ounce ot chopped cltrou, a quarter of a pound of candied fruit cut fine, an ounce of nuts, blanched and split, and the juice of half a lemon. M i well, and stir In carefully hair a pint of whipped cream. Turn Into a freizer and freeze. Pack into a pudding mold, and bury in ice and salt for two hours. Nesselrode Pudding.—Shell a pint of nuts, peel and put them in a sauce pan with boil ing water; set over the lire to boil for fifteen minutes, take ap, drain, and press through a colander. Shell and pound a pint of almonds. Cut up a pound of nilxed candled fruit, and one pineapple. Make a syrup of a pint ol water and a pound of sugar. Heat the yolks of five eggs and add to the boiling syrup, lake from the fire and beat until cold. Add the fruit and the nuts with a pint of cream and a teaspoonful of vanilla. Mix well together, (urn into a freezer and freeze When frozen remove the dasher, drain off the water, repack the freezer in Ice and salt, cover and stand aside for three or four hours. Flavor of Eggs. The flavor of eggs depends very much on the kind of tood given to the poultry. When liens are fed largely or almost ex clusively ou milk, the yolk is lighter in color, the white has a milky look, and the whole egg is watery and less firm in texture than those laid by grain fed hens. The taste of tho egg is also affected,being insipid and unsatisfied when boiled or poached, and less fine for ordiuary cook ing purposes even. There is no use iu saying that the idea of the qualify of eggs being influenced by the food of tho hens is a mere whim; since it is a woll known fact that the eggs of fowls kept on tho sea, and fed almost entiroly on fish—taken as thoy come, embracing the strong and the oily, as well as the more delicate sorts—have “an ancient, and fish like” taste, if not “smell;” ami <-ggs coming from those regions sell for I,-ns in the market in some instances than those coming from districts farther inland. The reason why hens fed ou slops of mile, etc., are able to give no betlereggs to their owners, is because the old, old story is repeated in their case. “You demand the tale of brick of your ser vants, but you give them no straw to make them with.” Curd hardly comos under the head of milk, and there is lit tle danger of having it in large quantities to offer to your fowls. It contains all the hem wul most nutritious portions of the milk, without its objectionable, wa tery qualities. But the true feed for laying fowls is one-tbird or one quarter of Indian corn, ground or otherwise, and oats or wheat, together with milk and whatever scraps from the house are ob tainable, and as much green vegetable food as they will eat, and with these, combined and fed properly, your eggs will be of the true gold and silver stamp, when the cook’s fire has refined (hem and prepared them as a relish for your breakfast table.—Poultry World. Biscuits Glacee.—Make a syrup of three- quarters of a pound of sugar and a pint of water. Add the beaten yolks of six eggs, and stir over the tire until thick. Take up and beat until stiff and cold. Flavor with a teaspoonful of vanilla, whip a pint of cream and stir carefully with the mixture. Turn ■rooni when friends .drop in at five into a Iretzsr and frneze. Take np, All little , r._ pii sent, she helps the guests to the sandwich? and the cakes which are served a five o’clock tea, and herself hands the cups and takes them from the guest who would like to be relieved. Apart from, and more important even than her manner to a guest who hap pens in for an hour or a day, is the manner of a daughter to her father and mother. The father returns to his home after a wearying day of business. He is tired in body and mind. Coming back, as his latch key turns in the home door, he throws efi care ; he is joyous at the thought of the dear ones he will meet after hours of absence. Mis young daughter, in a pretty gown , with the bloom and freshness only girlhood wears shonlu be ready to give him the attentions he loves—the kiss, the cheery word—to help her mother and the rest in letting the father see how much he is loved at home. Men give up a great deal for their families—their time, strength, the knowledge they have gained in file's experiences—they spend everything freely for home's Bake, and the home should pay its debt in much outspoken love. ■ - ••ow.oj ouu iuup, nil mus After the Fig-tall*.

Little Girl's Aprons For the real little girl who loves to play in the sand and dabble in the water, aprons are almost a necessity. A very pretty apron of pink and white gingham has a low square neck and no sleeves. The waist is in Gretchen shape (plain) and the skirt is slightly full. A feather stitching of Barbour’s rope linen Moss finishes the neck and arm holes. A blue and white apron wonld be equally pretty. Another apron is made of white barred muslin and has the neck and arm holes trimmed with a narrow lace edge. The edges are decorated with a cross stitch pat tern worked with the rope linen. An apron of the same material has three nox plaits on the waist front and two at the hack. A vine-'ixe pattern is worked on the plaits amt around the bottom of the skirt, In cross stitch, wilh Barbour's linen in any color desired. The neck ami arm holes are finished with lace. A pretty style has a square yoke or Ber- tba to which is gathered the slightly full waist. The waist and skirt are gathered into a belt. A n. file of lace or embroidery finishes the lower edge ol the yoke and around the arm holes. The yoke and belt are embroid ered with rope linen Hjss. These aprons are very dainty and suitable to wear over nice dresses, but for every day wear dark gingham, calico, and linen are preferable. A neat decoration which takes but little time and costs almost nothing renders the little garment doubly accept able to its little wearer. If the neok of the apron is left high and and sieeves sewed in tbe arm holes, it may take tbe place of the dress on hot days. Besides the plain, plaited and gathered waists, with full skirts, there are the plaiu Frozen Cocoanut Custard.—Fat a quart of rich milk on to boil.

When thick, remove the dasher, cover the freezer and set aside until smooth and firm. Fruit Sou ille.—Cover half a box of gelatine with cold water and let soak one hour, add half a cupful of hot water and stir until dis solved. Mix a pound of sugar and a pint of strawberry, orange or lemon juice until a syrup is formed. Beat the yolks of six eggs, and add to the syrup, turn into a tin pan. set on ice, strain the gelatine into it and stir nntil it begins to thicken. Stir in lightly and quickly a quart of whipped cream. Turn into an Ice cream mould, pack iu salt and ice and freeze two hours. A souffle should not he frozen as hard aa Ice cream. Bisque Ice Cream.—Kail a quarter of e pound of macaroons and half a dozen stale ladys-lingers and rub through a colander.
