Evidence Against Holmes
Indianopolis, Ind., Aug. 27.—Evi
dence of the murder of little Howard
Peitzel by Holmes were found in the
frame cottage at Irvington, near here, to
day, by detective Geyer of Philadelphia.
Charred hones and buttons from the fire
place, where the mad child was probably
cremated. In a chimney were charred
bones which are those of a human body.
The evidence against Holmes once occu
pying the house is conclusive.

“ 3, Memory, thou fond deceiver,
Ever impotunatc and vain,
To former joys recurring ever.”
Editor Waycross Herald :
These beautiful lines of the great Eng
lish poet, seem appropriate, when re
viewing the generous action of the citi
zens of Waycross, in giving the great fes
tal display, on their celebrating the an
niversary of American independence,
and if we have not adverted to i» before
through the columns of your paper, it
was because we wished to ‘‘season our
admiration for a while.”
Yes, on that day the Magic City
opened wide her arms, (metaphorically
speaking), and like the great Spartan
general said, “Come and take me,” but
it was in no laconic spirit that the man
date went forth, and no doubt many a
visitor on returning homeward must have
exclaimed, Great Caescrf Veni, Vidi,
Vici—I came, I saw—and didn’t have to
saw wood, either, for that “grand square”
meal, and I conquered that “grub pile.”
Hurrah for Waycross! Henceforth she
will stand at the head of the list, as
being the Capital, the city ot magnificent
distances, more especially when it comes
to dining tables; for other railway cen-

Old Scotia was well represented by Mr.
H. Efell Duncan and his young daughter,
Hettie. This little lass took in the fes
tivities with great zest, and would doubt
less have got up a corner in toys had she
been permitted to do so; and la?t but
not least, Mr. Richard Bennett, Sr., the
patriarch of this settlement, who by his
romplaisant ways has fairly earned the
'oubriquet of “Gcntiema.u Dick.”
Mr. Bennett, in age is not far removed
from being an octogenarian and if not
imbued with the “spirit of ’76,” has still
considerable vim and energy left in him,
considering he is now past 78 years.
Yet, he was unfortunate enough to get
considerably worsted in his scuffle with
“Old Father Time,” in his endeavor to
reach Waycross at a seasonable hour.
Starting from home before break of day,
with a torchlight procession of one, he
essayed to reach Millwood in time for the
incoming train, but alas
L’homme propose,
Mniss Dien dispose,
for when within sight of the depot the
“Cannon Ball” came sweeping majesti
cally along, possibly a trifle ahead of
schedule time, and left him to return
home a sadder but a wiser man, mutter
ing to himself, “The best laid plans of
men and mice gang aft aglee.” He took
bis disappointment very good naturedly,
however, and rolled in by the midday
freight train, accompanied by his grand
son, Dan H, Bennett, and his young
wife and baby.
It would be almost invidious to state
what particular feature of the day
most relished; but from watching the
eyes of the fair ones in our coterie, as
they drank in all the sights eagerly, we
rather suspect that the turn out of the
“boys in gray” was the greatest attrac
tion on the programme, and when the
strains from the Magic City Band broke
forth, and finally culminated with play
ing, “In Dixie’s Land I’ll Take my
Stand,” there was considerable enthusi
asm among the ladies, and we noticed a
furtive disposition among some of them
to * trip the light fantastic toe.”
There was some unexplained delay in
oar train, returning homeward, and we
were kept waiting at the depot for more
t'ian an hour; hut we were nowiae in a
I hurry to leave that hospitable place, and
when finallv departing, the train steamed
slowly round the curve, displaying the
electric lights in the distance, the old
Scotch ballad of “Within a Mile of Ed-
inboro’ Town,” naturally occurred to us,
more especially as one of our party, Miss
LillieHiggs, as if loth to leave “the gay
and festive scene,” watched through the
open car window the retreating lights,
until they were no longer visible.
Mias Lillie is a natural born musician,
and enjoyed her first trip to Wayeioss
immensely.
We all arrived home safely, and in
thinkiug over the events of the day, be
fore returning to the arms of Morpheus,
the following lines, in memory of a
younaScotch lassie, whom we used to
known days of yore, readily came to
our lop; but which we think must
havetffeert partly stimulated by that
great Brain tonic, coca cola, of which we
had been partaking freely during the day:
\ ACROSTIC.
“In soft repose, and visions bright,
Dreaming the starry hours away,
Angels watch o’er thy slumbers light,
Keepin^'thee till the coming day.
Eternal shores thy sandals tread.
In God’s fair mansions thou dost dwell;
Thy gentle spirit sure hast sped
Heavenward. Thy Home, O, Earth, fare
well.”
Anna Lize.
New National Song.
A song which wo may hope will take i
its place along with “Rally Round the ;
Flag” and the “Star Spangled Banner’’
has been written by Dr. Thomas Dunn j
English, who lives in Newark, N. J. Jf 1
the new song is as successful as Dr. 1
English’s great Trilby lyric, then we '
shall have par excellence the American
national air. We need good patriotic
songs very much in this country—
stirring airs and burning words that
will thrill the hearts of tho boy3 and
girls at school. \7o want something
that will roll on tho air gloriously on
the Fourth of Jnly, songs our Ameri
can boys can march out to battle by, to
victory or death. Who will write the
words? Who will write the music? We
cannot have too many of them.
Dr. EngAih calls his national anthem
“Old Glorv.” which is a very good
name. He is 7C years old, but declares
he is not done with the world yet,
whereat his countrymen will rejoice.
Dr. English wrote the words of “Old
Glory,’’ and a friend, also an American,
composed the music. The refrain is
patriotic enough. It is:
Oid Glory, Old Glory!
Oar banner grand, Old Glory!

No doubt many Americans are ex
claiming in their minds against the
“unjust discrimination” of foreign |
countries against American beef cattle, j
They are apt to attribute it all to the j
jealousy of foreign governments toward I
this great and prosperous country. I
Well, tho report of the United States I
consul at Havre would throw some light j
cn the minds of theso patriotic Ameri- j
cans. Mr. Chancellor says the arrange- '
meats for our foreign cattle shipping
show that common sense is badly lack
ing in the shippers. No proper provi
sion for the safety and comfort of the
animals is made, he declares. The im
portation of United States cattle into
Europe was stopped because tho steers
came “jammed into steamers, seasick,
battered, bruised, crippled and fam
ished.” Consul Chancellor further says
that no live beeves should be shipped
unless they are provided with padded
stalls, swings and other appliances to
keep the lurching of the vessel from
crushing them. Above all, they should
be shipped in the care of “humane, reli
able and intelligent attendants, who
will not beat and prod them from
wanton and vicious cruelty. ”
The state of Tennessee has practically
discovered herself since the war. Yet
as a state she antedates Ohio by six
years. At the celebration of her cen
tenary of statehood in 1896, however,
Tennessee will show that in^the matter
of thoroughbred horses, Jersey cows,
coal and iron mines and moonshiners
she beats the world. If the spirit of
Andrew Jackson can look down upon
her next year his heart will swell big
with pride.
Our navy is quite up to date, and -
there is considerable of it too. Our
army will scon be up to date too. By
the end of September all the infantry of
the regular army will be furnished with
the smokeless powder Kreig-Jorgensen
rifle. What is more, the new rifles
were made out and out at the United
States army gun factory.
The sublime porte is rending its
bloomers in the effort to escape being
brought to account for the Armenian
atrocities.
The first plant for pressing cotton in
the new cylindrical bales is to be built
