“SIMPLY IMMENSE!”
That is What an Eminent
Mineralogist Says of Our
AI ineirals.
I’KOK. J. !. CALDON, AN EXPERT, LOOKS
OVKK THK FIELD AX'D (JOES AWAY DE
LIGHTED.
1 here has been in (’artersville and
vicinity for the past week a gin leman
that is probably the l**st posted mining
engineer that has been in this section for
years. Prof. J. I). Caldon, of Atlanta,
has been here looking up suitable raw
material on the lands of the Etowah
Iron and Manganese Company, for the
purpose of making a display of that
company's property at the coming Pied
mont exposition. He has succeeded well
and no doubt the display that he will
make wiH startle those that are versed
in mineralogy. The professor is carried
away with our resources, which are mag
nificent in his eyes. He has traveled very
extensively, an exjiert in his line and
his words are encouraging indeed, com
ing as they do from a man so well quali
fied to pass upon the merits of our re
sources. He was for sixteen years with
the London and South African Exposi
tion Compuny, s[eiidiiig seven years ex
ploring the wilds of Africa with the intre
pid Daniel Frazier, the ex plorer. The histo
ry of the professor is remarkable, and an
account of his travels which extends over
the world would make volumes of inter
esting reading. He has been for the past
few years attracted to the section near
Murphey, N. C., and has been the means
of placing more capital in that section
than probably any ten men in it. He re-
ported upon the great Murray county
gold mines and effected its sale to for
eign capitalists, as also reporting upon
several other > gold mines. IDs reports
are always to be relied upon as true and
the most searching. Hence we cannot
but feel that his being so well pleased if
not astonished at old Bartow's re
sources, will be the means of doing much
good. He will have charge of the Eto
wah Iron mid Manganese Company's
display at the exposition. This service
alone will be of great advantage to Bar
tow county.
“Your minerals are immense,” enthu
siastically exclaimed lu*, “far surpassing
anything l expected. 1 have found more
mineral, in quality very much finer, than
can be found in the great booming Birm
ingham distinct. They are immense, and
during the months of November and De
cember I expect to give several week's
attention in looking over your county.
1 am only taking a bird's eve view now,
but what I have already seen convinces
pie that you have one of the finest sec
t ions in the world.”
‘What is the nature of our ores,’queried
a Cot; hant-Amhum an rej> resentative.
“Well you have nearly all the ores laid
down in mineralogy. You have manga
nese in great profusion of all grades, your
pyrolusite is very fine indeed. The mis
take your miners make, is that they do
not classify their ores before shipment,
just as the cotton buyer does his cotton.
Your ores grade very high and should
command better prices. You have the
manganese dioxide, psilomelane, bog
manganese, rhodoclirosite, manganese
carbonite, wolframite, iron manganese,
tungstite, gothites and manganiferous
ores in the greatest profusion, while
your specular iron ores cannot be beaten
anywhere. I forgot you also have car
bonite of zinc. A greater variety of ores
of such fine grades will be hard to find
anywhere.”
“In the country rocks you have the
qnartzyfe, clierp, itacolumyte, gneiss,
gneissoid, culcite and others. Your
niicncious specular ores are perfectly
grand. In a few years this entire country,
embracing the section known as the
plateau between the Blue Ridge and Big-
Smoky Mountains, will be the scene of
great development. You belong in the
same fields as Murphy, North Carolina,
only you are situated on the Western
slope. The mining done here is on the
floating order; that is veins are broken
and irregular. So out a few miles you
find it running regular and have the same
formations as exist in the Murphy sec
tion.”
Speaking of the lute Muj. Mark A.
Cooper, the Professor said that the peo
ple of ('artersville and Bartow county
owe it to themselves to erect a suitable
monument to his memory. “He was fifty
years ahead of - his people. He knew the
resources of this section better than any
living at the time. He saw its great
prospects and what a great pity his great
schemes and projects should have been
interrupted. He was a man far ahead of
your people, who, if lie had lived longer
and allowed full sway, with means and
power, your town and county would
have been the greatest of all the boom
ing sections of the country.” He paid a
glowing tribute to the grand old patri
arch that is gone, went over the works of
his laboi> energy and brains. It is upon
the ruins of his old works and property
that it is hoped that the scenes will
change and bloom with prosperity as it
once did.
The conversation with Prof. Caldon
was interesting indeed. He is alive to
the situation, is perfectly enthused with
our section and its many advantages.
He promised us, when he returns later
on, an art icle on our minerals, which we
know will be highly appreciated by our
readers and the people generally.

Henry Wright Convicted.
The trial of Henry Wright, charged
with the offense of horse stealing, occur
red last Tuesday in the Superior court at
Canton. The jury, we understand, was
out not exceeding five minutes, when it
returned a verdict of guilty. The court
at once passed sentence, giving Henry a
position in the penitentiary for the term
of eight years. The proof p gainst the
prisoner was conclusive, and established
his guilt beyond a doubt. He protested
his innocence all the while, asserting that
he was nearer heaven than ever before.
Hiscounsel will makeno motion for anew
trial, so lie will render the state eight
years' service, unless executive clemency
should interfere, which is not likely to be
the case. Verily, the way of the trans
gressor is hard.

THE SAM JONES FEMALE COLLEGE.
Laying the Corner-Stone—Sermon—Ad
die** ot Ms\f. C. 11. Smith, JEte.
As had lieen previously announced, the
laying of the corner-stone of the Sam
Jones Female College occurred last Sat
urday. On account of the inclemency of
the weather, the entire programme was
not carried. A great crowd had gath
ered to witness the ceremonies, and the
hour for the 11 o’clock Tal>ernacle ser
vices was occupied in these exercises.
Rev. Sim Jones alter making a few
preliminary remarks, announced that
Dr. Hawthorne, who had been invited to
l>e present and deliver a sermon on the
“Christian Education of Woman," could
be present, and that Dr. Kendall, of not
Rome, was i here, and had consented to
fill his place. Though the Doctor had no
time for special preparation, he preached
an able sermon from the text. “Rejoice
Forevermore.” He drew many valuable
lessons from his subject, and clearly and
forcibly demonstrated the important
role woman played in the worlds rejoic
ing, and the necessity for Christian cul
ture. His remarks were full of whole
some thoughts, and made a decidedly
favorable impression upon the audience.
Maj. Smith, (Bill Arp;) followed, in
one of his most entertaining and hap
piest addresses. It was full of good
common sense and sparkled with one of
his richest veins of humor. It was great
ly enjoyed by those who heard it, and at
the request of nmnv, we publish it m
full.
MAJ. SMITH S ADDRESS..
Good Friends, One and Ale:
I have been requested to reduce to
writing the brief remarks that 1 shall
make on this occasion,so that the manu
script maybe placed with oilier signifi
cant things in the recess underheath this
corner-stone. It becomes me. therefore,
to be careful and prudent in thought and
language, for it may lie that a hundred
years hencethis building may be removed
to make room for one more spacious and
magnificent. Or another cruel war may
come along and this building lie destroy
ed as those were at Cassville 25 years
ago. Oran earthquake may visit this
caudal appendage of the Piedmont es
carpment and crumble these walls to ruin.
In either event public curiosity would be
attracted to this corner-stone to dis
cover what manner of people they were
who placed it here, and as our literature
was drawn forth and perused no doubt
some of our lineal descendents will be
standing around, and I am unwilling that
John Smith, my descendent, shall
be ashamed to own me as his great-great
great-great-great grand father.
Ceremony dignifies all human assem
blies and makes more impressive the
thing they have gathered to do or per
form. It is one of the ornaments of a
high civilization. It is as old as history—
Kings are crowned with it, Presidents
and Governors are inaugurated with it.
It dignifies the sessions'of Parliament
and Congress and all our legislative and
judicial tribunals. Even the petty Con
stable of a petty court swells with im
portance as lie proclaims, “Oh yes, oh
yes, the honorable Justice Court of the
19th district is now open. God save the
State and the honorable Court.” Never
is a great ship of the ocean launched
without ceremony. It christens the
ground where the first dirt is broken for
anew railroad. Churches and temples
are dedicated with it. Indeed it is sanc
tioned by high Scriptural usage and its
sublime pageantry at the dedication of
King Solomon's temple has never been
equalled. Even the Lord came down in a
cloud and tilled the house with His glory
so that for a time the priests could not
stand before it. Twenty thousand oxen
and 120,000 sheep were sacrificed as a
peace offering. What- heavenly music
filled the air. VVliat songs of praise and
adoration, and last of all, what a prayer
did the great King send up to the greater
King for blessing and forgiveness. It
was with ceremony that the great feast of
the Passover was celebrated and the ta
bles of stone were chiseled on Mt. Sinai,
and the walls of Jaricho fell down and
the prophets of Baal were destroyed. It
lias come down to us not only by Scrip
tural example, but as an inheritance
from nature. The Greeks and Romans
observed it in their games and their my
thology. The Masons and Odd-Fellows
make it a notable part of their private
and public work. We see it at the mar
riage altar and last of all it follows us
to the grave in the funeral procession
and is finished when we hear the sepul
chral sound of the earth falling upon the
coffined dead and a voice saying “earth
to earth and dust to dust.”
We are here to place the corner-stone —
not a stone that the builders rejected,
not a key-stone of an architect that sup
ports the structure, but a simple stone
that tells of the day and the purpose and
the noble charity of good people to a
good cause. This beautiful marble block
was hewn from a Georgia quarry and is
the gift of those generous, progressive
men, the American Marble Company,
who have cast their fortunes with us in
the development of our long hidden
treasures. Its purity is an emblem of the
purity of our motives and of that spot
less virtue which we trust shall follow in
and follow out every daughter who shall
enter the portals of this building. This
stone represents the structure that is to
be erected over it —an institution that is
a gift to our daughters—not a gift that
came grudgingly or with importunity,
but with eager willingness from near one
hundred good men and women. Not a
sectarian gift but one from all classes,
and just so will the daughters of nil have
an equal share in its benefits. Even the
very name of this college foreshawows its
large liberality, its freedom from secta
rian prejudice aud bigotry, for who in all
this country Ims done so much as Sam
Jones to break down the barbed and
thorny barriers that have so long divided
religious denominations. In what age
or clime has been seen such a harmonious,
loving union of all sects as he has
brought about in the great meetings that
he has inaugurated all over this broad
land.
Longfellow said that Plymoth Rock
was the corner-stone of the nation, and
so the education of our daughters is the
corner-stone of good morals, good man
ners and good society. Let us be sure of
our girls and the boys will follow their
lead. It is the noble, virtuous, long
suffering mother who moulds thecharae
ter of her boys in their infancy. It is
that mother's love, and prayers, and de
votion that follow s the boy in his wander
ings and calls him to duty and honorable
manhood. In the olden times the sons
were the special objects of the parent’s
* are. They gave to both sons and daugh
ters a good education if they could, but
if either had to be neglected it was always
the daughters. The female colleges were
few w hile the male colleges abounded all
over the land and were thronged with the
sons of wealthy and aristocratic South
erners- But in late years the girls have
been brought to the front. In almost
every town there is a college established
especially for them. It isa statistical fact
that in the South five times as many
girls as boys are every year graduated
at first-class institutions of learning.
There is but one college for boys in ail
North Georgia, and there are a half a
dozen for girls. What is to come of this
we know not, but we are not alarmed.
The girls are get tin g sin ar ter an and smarter
every year, and jierhaps they wont’t be
inclined to mate with our boys who have
had but a limited education and don’t
know a sine from a tangent nor a circle
from an ellipse, nor why December is the
12th month instead of the tenth, nor
w hat causes an eclipse of the sun or a
change in the moon, nor what is the
French for butter or the Latin for dog,
nor who wrote Shakespeare, nor whether
the deluge*came before or after the flood.
But the girls w ill take these boys sooner
or later and l>e content if the boys are
diligent in business and making money
and will provide new bonnets and test hetir
garments and keep a hired cook all the
year round.
The times have citangi’d wonderfully
since we patriarchs were boys and went
to the old field schools to learn the rndi
i ments. Our seminaries of learning were
; generally built of logs or rough lumber
and were covered with boards and had
puncheon seats without backs and win
dows without glass. We l>egan our work
in theold blue back spell ing book that had
a wonderful picture on the fly-leaf,a picture
of Minerva or somebody planting to a
temple on a hill. It was a rough wood cut
but it was very fine to us for pictures
were scarve in those days. The title
jiage almost settled our destiny as we
counted the lines and said; Rich man—
poor man—jieddler—tinker—and then we
advanced to baker and to crucifix and to
in-cojn-pre-hen-si-bil-i-t.v, that word of
learned length and thundering sound.
By and by we made phthisic and con
quered it and our orthography was com
plete. We mastered all the romances as
we went along—those thrilling, fascinat
ing romances that were illustrated with
cuts—the romance of the old man who
found a rude boy up in one of his apple
trees stealing apples and desired him to
come down; the romance ot Poor Dog
Tray who got into bad company, and ;
another about the milk maid who tossed
her head and spilt her milk, and another
about a lawyer's bull goring a farmer's
ox. These comprised nearly all the dime
novels of that day, and 1 wish it did yet,
for there was ao harm in them and a
good moral was left behind. We hud no
steel j>eus then and had to depend upon
the old gray goose for quills. In memory
1 see the good old teacher now standing
by the window mending pens with his lit
tle pearl handled knife, keeping one eye
upon the blade and the other upon tiie
boys. A flock of geese was a treasure
then, and when the good woman had
plucked all the feathers from their 1 rcusts
to fill her bed ticks and the boys had
denuded their wings and tails for ipiills,
the geese were pitiful sights to behold.
“My son,” the teacher said, “where is
your pen?” “1 haven’t got any sir—l
couldn’t catch the old gander this morn
ing cos he fit me.” We had no desks, nor
globes, nor charts, nor black-boards, nor
kindergarten, nor nigh cuts to knowl
edge—but the hickory was there to tingle
knowledge and good behavior into our
brains through the cuticle of the back
and the legs. The teachers had faith in
that. Mose Wright says lie went to
school to old Col. Fouehe, not far from
hereabout fifty years ago, and for six
weeks he did not know what boy sat be
hind him, for he was afraid to look round.
But after all we had the same founda
tion to build upon that there is now, and
we kept apace with the wants and neces
sities of that age. Three times three
made nine just as they do now. Lan
guage was the same and history and
logic and philosophy and astronomy and
geometry. Our boys could speak Hohen
lenden and Bozaris and Patrick Henry
about as well as we do now. The modern
appliances for education are much im
proved, but great scholarship is not con
fined to any age or institution. It comes,
if it conies at all, in spite of all embar
rassments. Where there is a will there is
a way, and education is now within the
easy reach of all. •
The prejudice that some have against
education is not a prejudice against
knowledge, but rather against the system
of acquiring it and the bad use that is
made of it. Education without moral
training is indeed a dangerous weapon
with which to arm our.youths.
A great poet has said, “Where igno
rance is bliss, ’tis folly to be wise.” But
ignorance is never bliss. It. cannot be,
for bliss is the highest grade of happiness.
It is ecstasy, it is heavenly joy and utter
ly incompatible with ignorance.
Shakespeare says “Ignorance is the
curse of God, and knowlege is the wing
with which we fly to heaven.”
Bulwer says “The pen is mightier than
the sword,” and Lord Brougham says
“The school master is abroad and I will
trust him against the soldier in full mili
tary array.”
Lord Bacon says “Knowledge is pow
er,” and the Scriptures abound in in
junctions to increase our knowledge—
even though much study is a weariness to
the flesh.
Then let us raise high this temple and
equip it and endow it, and let us provide
teachers who by precept and example will
teach our daughters that the first lessons
to be learned are truth, virtue, morality,
obedience, purity of thought, and
womanly modesty, and upon these they
should build Minerva's temple and fill it
with knowledge of the arts and sciences.
Mr. Jones concluded the services in one
of his characteristic talks. He assured
the people of ('artersville, that with
their undivided support, he would leave
nothing undone to make the college first
class in every particular, and second to
no institution of the kind in the country.
The building will be completed and
furnished by January Ist, 1888. The
school will then be placed in the hands of
the best teachers that can be procured,
and the course of instruction will be
thorough and practical.
Our people are proud of the Sam Jones
Female College, and enthusiastic over
its prospects.
On account of the rain, the corner
stone was not actually placed last Sat
urday. This will be done by the trus
tees in a few days.
The work on the building is being
rapidly pushed forward, and will be fin
ished at the earliest day possible.

A MOUNTAIN OF BROWN HEMATITE
Air. W. V. linker Opens lj> Bunk That
Creates Excitement.
Mineral circles are just now somewhat
laboring under quite a ripple of excite
ment over the discovery yesterday of an
immense bank of brown hematite by
workmen employed by Mr. AV. C. Baker,
of the hardware firm of Baker and Halt.
He owns a lot of land upon which is lo
cated what is known as the Kinsey bank,
situated four miles above the line of rail
road operated by the Dade Foal Com
pany, about ten miles from Cartersville.
Mr. Baker has had a force of men at
work several days clearing up the bank,
and on yesterday operations had pro
ceeded so far as to disclose the richest
brown hematite in abundance. A blast
was discharged which opened the side of
the bank a considerable distance and dis
closed the fact that fifty to seventy-five
tons of the very best brown hematite
could be displaced at a single blast. Mr.
Baker came in late yesterday afternoon
feeling immensely good. This bank has
l**en pronounced by Mr. Ward, a miner
of considerable experience, covering a
long service with the Poole furnace of
ante-bellum days, as the finest that lias
yet been opened up in old Bartow coun
ty. Strange as it may seem, Mr. Ward
says it is ten times better than the cele
brated Burford bank, which has long
been the pride of onr mineral men.
Mr. Baker is fortunate and bears his
good luck with grace. He, together with
several other of our townsmen, own four
or five hundred acres in the immediate
vicinity of the late “find,” and it goes
without saying that as to their future
prosperity there is no doubt whatever.
We have had our gin and press over
hauled and are again prepared to gin
cotton for the public. We find it impos

CLOSED WITH SUCCESS.
The Sam Tones Tabernacle Meet
ings Closed Last Sunday
Night.
THE SERIES OF SERVICES I.AIJOELY AT
TENDED AND RESULT IN GREAT GOOD.
The great Sam .Tones Tabernacle meet
ing closed last Sunday night, after a
series of most profitable and interesting
services, covering ten days. Perhaps
none of the great meetings held in the
Tabernacle, have been more fruitful of
good. While there was notso much de
monstration. yet. its splendid effects are
seeh and felt in many ways; the Chris
tians of every denomination have been
brought closer together, perhaps, than
ever before. Thereexistsa feeling of unity
and a spirit of kindness and brotherly
love never so fully exjierienced as now.
Many vows were renewed and
strenghtened, and a number who have
found consolation iu happy conversions.
Throughout the meetings were largely
attended, and the interest manifested
earnest and deep. The general good ac- !
complished can not be estimated; indeed, 1
Cartersville could no longer be itself, j
without the Sam Jones Tabernacle
meetings. To them, is largely due the
credit, for the enviable reputation she
bears, of being the most moral and re- ■
ligious town in the country.
The preaching was all tine, and by men
!of ability, and who were thoroughly
consecrated to their work. The sermons
| were mainly, by Drs. Johnston, ofCanada,
Lockwood of Cincinnati and Kev. Sam
•Jones, and all of their discourses were
intellectual and spiritual feasts.
Last Sundays services were themost in
teresting of the meeting, one ofthe largest
crowds that ever gathered at the Taber
nacle was there. The vast throng tilled
the immense auditorian to overflowing,
the aislses were tilled, and numbers stood
up outside, unable to get sitting room
inside. It was estimated that at least
ti,ooo people listened to the services on
that day. Kev. Sam .Jones preached the
sermon at 11 o'clock, before begining,
however, he announced that between
SBOO and SI,OOO, must be raised to de
fray the expenses of the meeting, find to
make some much needed improvements
upon the Tabernacle grounds. The j
necessary amount was soon raised, the
audience subserbingliberally and readily.
Mr. Jones selected for his text, the
word “consecration.” He preached a
powerful sermon, showing the necessity
tor absolute consecration, upon the part
of the Christian. The great multitude
listened with the closest attention, and
found food for thought, in every word he
said.
At the afternoon service, Kev. Hugh
Johnstone, of Canada, preached, deliver
ing a sermon of rare power and eloquence.
His words were ablaze, with the ardor
and zeal of a thoroughly consecrated
man, and touched the hearts of his con
gregation.
At 4 o'clock in the afternoon Mrs.
Chapin President, of the \V. C. T. U.,
delivered a lecture. She is a splendid
talker, posesses a strong, well cultured
voice; speaks with much ease and grace,
has a fine command of language, and a
forcible manner of expressing her
thoughts. Her address was listened
to with much interest, and enlisted the
sympathies of the good women, of
Cartersville, in her noble work.
Mr. Jones preached again at the night
service, taking for his text the words,
“Continue in brotherly love," from
which he preached a most appropriate
sermon, for the conclusion of a great
meeting. He said many splendid things,
that will live long in the minds of those
who heard them, and continue to bear
good fruit. After lie lmd finished preach
ing, he made a proposition to all those
who had made up their minds to live in
closer harmony with che teachings of
his text, to come forward and give him
their hand. In response to this proposi
tion, hundreds came forward and signi
fied their purpose to live upon a higher
plain.
The winding up of this service, the last
of the series, was very impressive. Mr.
•Tones read a letter which he had written
to the congregation ot Rev. Hugh John
stons church at Toronto, Canada, in
which he spoke of the efficient service
their pastor had rendered in our midst,
anil expresed the gratitude of our people
for his coming. This letter was endorsed
by a unanimous rising vote of the con
gregation. Mr. Jones also spoke of the
work of other ministers who had assisted
so ably and earnestly, in the meeting,
and of the work of Profs. Excell and
Hudson. After a general handshaking,
and bidding farewell to the visiting
brothers, the Tabernacle meeting for
1887 closed.

AN INHUMAN MOTHER.
A Young Colored Woman’s Disposition
of Her Child.
Last Thursday night a young colored
woman and her infant of three months,
arrived in Cartersville from Chattanoo
ga. The human mingled around her
race the following day and made several
attempts to give her baby away. That
night not succeeding in disposing of it,
conceived the idea of leaving it on some
one's doorstep. Passing along Mar
shal Wilkerson’s residence in the north
east portion of town, she noticed that
the house was dark, and concluded that
the folks were at the meeting. She ap
proached the veranda and laid the infant
thereon and left it, going to the depot in
tending to board the next train for At;
lanta. Fortunately, the little one began
crying, which was heard by neighbors
who began an investigation. The child
was found, and the alarm was given.
Night police, Henry Ford, happened to
be at the depot and noticed the same
woman that had gotten off the down
train the night before, without the child
with her. He became suspicious, and
when lie heard of the stray one on the
veranda, he at once arrested the woman.
Marshal Wilkerson arrived on spot soon
after and both carried the woman to
where the child was found. She pleaded
hard for forgiveness, says her name as
Lula Cato, her home in Atlanta. Said
that a young physician in Atlanta was
the father of the child, and that she felt
her disgrace deeply and did not know
how to get rid of her child any other
way. *She was perfectly heartless, and
during the following day succeeded in
giving it to a colored couple who will
take good care of it. It is nearly white
and a very fine looking babe. Its mother
is a comely looking woman of ginger
cake color, and seems to be of the better
class of darkies.

The Colored Folks’ Met t ug.
The colored folks commenced a tint l re
vival at the Tabernacle Monday morn
ing, and so far thecrowds that have gone
out have been large. Kev. J. 0. Ye ser,
of this place, a preacher of considerable
note, has been doing considerable preach
ing and liis sermons are highly com
mented upon. Referring to a rumor that
the colored folks were being charged SSO
for the use of the Tabernacle, he denied it
and pronounced it a “fifty dollar lie.”
The meeting will be largely attended
Saturday and Sunday, as that day
Bishop il. M. Turner, of Atlanta, will
preach, and Prof. Holmes, of the same
place, will conduct the singing. Turner
is a shirring- tight among his people, is
greatly respected by both white and
black. The best advice the colored folks
get these days comes from the lips of
Bishop Turner.
The singing is splendid, for nobody can
beat the colored folks singing. Saturday
and Sunday will ire the biggest days, a*nd
a large number of peoplewill no doubt
attend.

A MILLIONAIRE’S CHIII>.
How One of William K. Vanderbilt’s Lit
tle Children is lii-ought Up.
[From the New York Journal.]
Consnelo, the eldest, is a slender little
maiden of some eight or nine years, with
pleasing dark-gray eyes and a profusion
of dark brown hair, which curls most
naturally over her shoulders. She has
very aristocratic little hands and feet, a
fine skin and a dimpled chin, and prom
ises to be a beauty, as well as a great
heiress, some flay.
She has her own little suite of apart
ments connecting with the school room,
and day nursery on the third floor of her
father’s white marble mansion, and has
occupied them sincethe tender age of six,
when she was given a maid's service and
emancipated from the nursery. This in
cludes a bed room with a sunny window,
set with beautiful stained glass, an inlaid
floor with fine Persian rugs, a little brass
bedstead, all trimmed in pure white, with
drooping white curtains, where she keeps
all her gowns; two or three rockers and
chairs of white enamel wood, dainty
footrests ami two dear little birds warb
ling tit the windows, besides a number of
rare little water color paintings and en
gravings. This little maiden has no idea
of her father's wealth, although she must
know of poverty, because she belongs to
several little societies for the relief of the
poor. She has an allowance of $5 a week
for pin-money, and out of this she must,
buy any little toy or book she may de
sire. She is not allowed candy except a
little of the best, served after the midday
dinner. She has to practice on the piano
two hours every day, excepting Sunday,
and studies French, German, and Italian,
besides all the common English branches.
Next to the bed-rooma dressing room,
all in blue pink, with long mirror, a quaint
little Louis XVI. dressing table, covered
with brushes, ivory combs, and a real
little gold manicure set; and this pretty
room leads into a little bath room, all of
white marble, where Miss Consnelo takes
her cold water bath each morning. She
has never had a silk dress, but
wears fine merinos and soft muslins in
summer, and velvet gowns in winter, and
all her underwear is made per fectly plain,
although of the finest linen, hem-stitched
and embroidered with her monogram.
Poisoned by Cigarrettes.
Walter Pierce, a young man of 17,
whose home is at Gloversville, had a
close call yesterday. He is addicted to
cigarrettes, and took advantage of his
visit to this city to enjoy himself to his
lullest. capacity, smoking several pack
ages a day. Of late he has complained
at times of feeling drowsy, am! thought
the cigarrettes ditl not agree with him.
The sequel shows that they did not.
Yesterday after breakfast he smoked
about fifteen, and then went into the
parlor of his aunt’s house on Central
avenue to lie down. When called for din
ner he was found in an unconscious state,
with his body perfectly rigid. The
frightened family called in Dr. Sehill, who
recognized the symptoms, and after
working over the victim for several hours
got him in a partially normal condi
tion. The doctor says the young man
will recover, and the young man says he
is done with cigarettes.—Albany Express.
