Friday night Mayor Hemphill invit
ed bim to participate in the reception
of the Gould party.
The governor was so busily engaged
Saturday that he found it impossible
to see Mayor Hemphill, so he address
ed the Mayor the following letter:
Mayor W. A. Hemphill, City".
My Dear Sir—It has not been pos
sible for me to meet you to-day incon-
lerenee about the invitation yon had
the kindness to tender Mrs. Northen
and myself to aid in receiving the Gonld
party upon their arrival in the clty^
-I recognize with the fullest apprecii
tion the consideration shown me as
the chief executive of the state, and I
beg leave to tender you my thanks for
the compliment. I mast be allowed
to say, however, that 1 do not recog
nize Mr. Gould as visiting the state in
any ofilci&i capacity, but rather in his
own interests without regard to the
interests ofthe masses of the people
of the state. 1 may be mistaken in my
measure of the man, but lam candid
in saying, that I do not think his meth
ods as practiced in other sections where
he has bad power, would develop onr
state on the l»ne of the public good.
Without in ihe least criticising the
opinions of others, and thanking you
most heartily for the compliment in
tended in the invitation you so kindly
tendered me, l must most respectfully
decline.
Please understand that what 1 say
refers specially and solely to Mr. Gould
and not to any other members of his
party. Truly and sincerely,
W. J. Northen, Governor.
Itw&9 reported Saturday that the
governor had declined to participate
in the reception of Mr. Gonld in At
lanta, and the Constitution of this
morning speaks of the fact that be de
clined the invitation. A copy of the
letter does not appear in the Constitu
tion, however.
When a Journal reporter asked the
governor for a copy this morning heat
first hesitated, but in view of the pub
licity that had been given the matter
by rumor than otherwise, he finally
consented, so the letter printed above
shows exactly what it was the governor
said.
All who beard of the governor’s
course agreed that what he did was
exactly right.
Poiuts About Woman.
Flattery will win a woman’s love
when love will fail.
Man sometimes forgets a wrong; a
woinau never does.
The Bweetest picture in the world Is
a pretty mother with her first babe.
A woman can only be a friend to a
woman when her interests are not
concerned.
Some women make a practice of
testing everything concocted for the
preservation of beauty.
Many men make their servants a
present f*f their old clothes. Must wo
men sell theirs to struggliug, ragged
maid servants.
Finger nails are not worn as long
nor so pointed as they were a little
time ago. Manipulation is said to be
the best thing for improving the hands.
Few mothers are well enough ac
quainted with their daughters to have
their confidence, a condition to which
the downfall of many a girl can be at
tributed.
There is nothing half way about the
sleeves of the present day. They must
either consist of a paltry ribbon bow
just across the shoulder, or else be of
such proportions as to skillfully con
ceal every inch of the arm from tip to
knuckles.
A clever foreigner has said that in
France, women are the inferiors of
men, in England their equals and in
America their superiors. An Ameri
can of the gentler sex, not too modest
ly, says “women are men’s equals any
where on earth.”
Every woman who is obliged to go
out in bnU weather should have a dress
faced with rubber of the lightest quali
ty, which she should keep in reserve
for these occasions. Possessed of such
a gowu a woman is saved much trouble
aud vexation of spirit.

The result was j ist as expected. The
bookstores did a i usbing business and
the pencil pushers were amply remem
bered—by the “fiend.”
If Governor Northen carries all his
saff— the leftenant Colonels—to the
Georgia Chautauqua. Albany will
hardly able to accommodate the
crowd.—Thoraasville Times-Enter-

Accommodate the crowd! Why,
Bro. Triplett, you don’t seem to be
posted. We will be able to accommo
date you if you’ll come.
The next thing for Atlanta to bfilld
will be an auditorium. Charlotte is
going to have one, built of corrugated
iron, niuety-two feet wide and 190 feet
long. It will sfcat 5,000 people aud will
cost only $5,000.—Atlanta Constitu
tion.
Such a structure built of corrugated
iron might be used for an auditorium
in the winter and a crematory in the
summer.
A special telegram from Savannah
to the Augusta Chronicle says, speak
ing of Mr. Northen’s rude treatment of
the citizens who invited him to meet
Mr. Gould:
“President Waddell says the govern
or’s action is just what might be ex
pected from a man like Mr. Northen.”
Atlanta is now clamoring for a
clearinghouse. Atlanta is as persist
ent as a five-y*ar-old boy beggiug his
papa for a nickel, hut that’s the only
way she ever accomplishes anything.
If Atlanta wants a clearing house the
only way to silence the appeal is to
give it to her. Other cities should
learn this lesson.

St. Paul, Minn., Feb. 10.—The most

Jg Suicide Increasing t
Atlanta Journal.
The common idea is that suicide In
proportion to population is increasing
in ‘ tills oouctry. Such has usually
The been the result of the increase of pov
erty and the various complications
which make the struggles of life hard
er as population becomes greater.
But the New York Son has pub
lished some statistics which give s>
more hopeful view of Ihe subject.
After careful inquiry the Sun finda
that the proportion of deaths by sui
cide in our greatest city last year was
a little less than 11.6 to each 100,000
people. For the past five years the
average in that city has been 154 for
each 100,000 people and in 1S8S the pro
portion was 16 to each 100,000.
These figures indicate that life is
more tolerable to the average inhabi
tant of New York than it is to the
average inhabitant of most other great
cities. The proportion of suicides tc*
100,000 of population according to the
last statistics was as follows in the
cities named: Dresden, 51; Paris, 42;
Berlin 26; Genoa, 31; Lyons, 29;
Vienna, 28; Stockholm, 27; Christiana,
25; London, 23; Brussels, 15; and
New York, 14 6.
The great majority of suicide3 In
that city for years past have been per
sons of foreign birth. La3t year the
excess of foreign suicides there was
particularly large. The total uumber
of those who fought and found their
own deaths in New York last year
was 239. Of these 81 were Germans
and S7 were from other-foreign coun
tries ; making the number of foreign
suicides 16S to 71 Americans. Con
sidering the proportions of foreign and
native population in New Ynrk this is
an astonishing showing. Its most re
markable feature is that the greatest
number of suicides should have occur
red among the Germans who are per
haps the most prosperous foreign ele
ment in New York.
It is difficult to draw general con-
elusions from the statistics of suicides,
but the small proportion of suicides in
the leading American city and the
farther fact that considerably less
than one-third ot the whole number
were persons of American birth cer-

Mr. and Mrs. Cornish were married
in at. Paul in 1SS9, and alter a brief
and happy honeymoon, left the city for
Los Aiigcles, Cal., where they inteudad
to reside, in the tail of the *ame year,
while rkiiug with his wife, Mr. Cor
nish was thrown from his buggy and
killed outright. The widow was in
consolable and her mental sufferings
were terrible to witness. Sne was com
pletely prostrated, and fears tor her
sanity were entertained. The body of
her liusbaud was embalmed, funeral
services held and the body placed in a
vault. Here it rested for two years
until Mrs. Corubh concluded to move
to Freeport, HI. tfhe packed her
household goods and with them had
e body or her late husband shipped
— her new home, la Freeport the
corpse was placedrm a vault and rested
for fiye years undisturbed by friend or
toe. Alter living iu Freeport tor five
years Mrs. Coruish concluded that
Dayton, O., was a more desirable place
of residence and so, packing her effects
site ordered the body and her goods
seut along to Dayton, aud in due time
they arrived iu safety. Mrs. Cornish
was evidently impressed with Dayton L
for she had a handsome vault fisted up
aud for another five years the bones of
her lamented husband lay in peace.
Mrs. Coruish became dk&atbfied with
Dayton, however, and came to St. Raul
to Jive, again taking the body
crom the tomb and bringing it with
her, making its fourth Journey over
land. Another iunerai service has
beeu held and the body entombed once
more.
Mrs. Cornish is a bright woman, but
has a morbid dread oi being removed
irom her husband’s dead body—iudeed,
she dwells so much upon her husband’s
death, even at this late day, that her
friends fear serious consequences. It
is hoped, however, that in her brother’s
home she may outgrow her sorrow.
MORALITY WITH A VENGEANCE.
The trouble between the ordinary
and the sheriff of Early county aro?e
ia this way: Jim Densler, a negro,
had been convicted of larceny in the
county court and carried it up to the
superior court on a certiorari, w hich
was granted, but the county judge vn>
not notified, who remanded the negro
to jail. The negro’s attorney then
produced a writ of certiorari and ap
pealed to the ordinary lor a habeit-i
corpus release.
The ordinary notifi.^1 the sheriff to
release the negro on a bond, which the
sheriff refused to do. The ordinary
issued an attachment fur contempt
against the sheriff aud put !t in the
hands of the coroner. The sheriff
armed himself and swore he wouldn’t
be a nested. The ordinary wired the
governor for instructions ami got them.
This was Saturday night; Monday
night the negro paid his fine and thr
matter was hushed up with the excep
tion that a fine of ten dollars and costs
of court havo been placed upon the
sheriff and deputy for contempt, ani
fi fas. have been issued for its coi
tion. The ordinary declares he will
collect the fine.
A IZeformaliau That Had Been Ite-
peaied serratceu X irnes.
Baltimore, Feb. 10.—Several ladies
interested iu the work of the western
branch ot the charity organization so
ciety recently had their attention
called to the apparent destitution- of a
family in southwest Baltimore. The
mother said the father drank and neg
lected bis five children. The ladies
prevailed on the man to consent to
lead a better life and he went to a
well-known minister and made all
sorts of promises, declaring that he
was tired of the life he had lead and
wanted to turn over a new leaf. He
told the minister that he was not mar
ried to the woman who boie bis chil
dren and asked for advice. His chil
dren were growing up and had never
been christened and he thought his re
form would be complete it he had
them baptized and put on the right
road. The minister pitied the man
and encouraged him in his efforts to
lead a new life. All the ladies were
very much gratified at the apparent
sincerity 6h»wu by the man, and they
made arrangements to have the par-,
ents married and the children chris
tened. They bought aud made the
little ones clothing; gave them money,
and rigged out the bride and groom in
new clothes.
The wedding was celebrated with
great eclat aud thechlldren were chris
tened. Something about the man’s
actions induced the - minister to look
Into his past record. The investiga
tion disclosed the fact that the man
and woman had beeu married seven
teen times, and the children had
been christened twenty-nine times.

past few weeks, and finds that since
the defeat cf the elections bill the peo
ple of that section arc much more
hopeful of the future.
He was formerly in favor of the bill,
but his journey south has changed his
mind and he now favors its defeat.
The Southern people, he says, now
favor appropriations In the interest of

with much interest to beneficial re

The following is what Sam Jones
said of Tamp:
as taken from,
“Your cily isjust a little above tha
dead level of hell. If you should
musfer tbe saloon keepers from
T t:»pa to hell, and back again to

mu<-h opposition in one place as the
other.
“If your mayor was the devil and
every councilman an Imp of hell, it
would be no worse iuau it is; bawdy
houses flauuting iu the streets, saloon
doors open on Sunday (a voice, “bond
ing hotel on Sunday”). Yes, so in
love with H. B. Plent that you are
willing that work should be done on
the hotel on Sunday to complete it. If
the question should be submitted as to
whether the'limits of heaven should
be extended so as to take in Tampa or
to have the Plant hotel yon would
vote solid for the Plant Hotel.”

San There Is Wo
Truth In the Xlepi rt
New Orleans, La., Feb. 9.—The
Times-Democrat says that the state
ment that Mr. James S. Richardson
was engaged to be married to Miss
Winnie Davis, is without the slightest
foundation in fact. Tbe denial is au
thorized by Mr. Richardson, who, on
being shown a copy of the telegram in
question by a Times-Democrat repre
sentative, said: “There is uot a vestige
of truth in the report. I am uot even
in correspondence with Miss Davis,
and have not seen her for three months
I consider her one of the loveliest wo
men in the world, but as I said before
ttiere is not a shadow of truth in the
report that I am to be married to her.
It is doing Miss Davis a great, injustice
to use iter name in this fashion, ami 1
regret it exceedingly. This is the
first time that I have heard the report,
and I presume it is tue work of some
journalist who was in need of an item,
f he Davis family lias been friendly to
me since I came home from college,
aud it seems rather strange that at this
late date a report of this sort should be
spread throughout the country.”

His Novel Excuse.
A young newspaper man, who is
somewhat of a wanderer, found him
self in Whitman connty, 500 miles
from his base of supplies, and “broke,”
says the Walla Walla Journal., In the
midst of his adversity he was fortunate
enough to fiud a farmer who wanted a
hand. The young man was put to
work plowing furrows for potato plant

trained, aud the, driver was far from
being an exceptional one. As ir result
the rows were not pac$llel. In fact,
they looked as if they had been made

If .you drop a nickel with a string at

nickel, dropped the nickel in a slot
machine, got what be wanted, then,
withdrawing the nickel by the thread,
repeated the operation until he bad
made a clean sweep of the receptacle’s
contents. He was arrested on a charge
of theft, bat the judge who tried him
held that he had committen neither
burglary, larceny nor robbery, nor

“What Impressed you most of all that
you saw in Europe?” I recently asked
a friend who had just returned from a
year oft ravel extending from Amster
dam to Naples, and taking in the chief
points of interest in England, Holland,
Belgium, France, Germany. Switzer
land and Italy. He hesitated a mo
ment, and then said:
“The things that really affected me
most, I think, was a picture I saw in
Rome. It wasn’t by Rachael, or Mich
ael Angelo, or Titian, or Murillo; in
fact, it wasn’t a painted, bat a living
picture. Nor was it in a palace sur
rounded by luxuries accessories.
“It was just a simple little composi
tion in a homely cottage doorway—a
humble mother sitting .upon the top
step, winding into a tell a skein of yarn
that her boy, a sturdy little curly bead
ed fellow of seven or eight years, held
out over his two hands stretched apart.
There was a tender iook in the mother’s
eye,, and a contented, happy expression
in tbe face of the child that took me
back, forty years to a pretty little home
in a Massachusetts village, where, iu a
doorway not unlike that one, I some
times sat with the skein of yarn, oyer
my outstretched arms, and my dear
old mother wound it into a ball.

ZQidftt,
Syracuse, Feb. 10—James O’Grady
of this city holds himself up as an aw
ful example to people who drink water
—especially unfiltered water.
Mr. O’Grady used to work along the
canal, and drink water occasionally.
Sometimes at night lie would quench
Ids thirst at running brooks, and in
this way he swallowed a suakt.
The leptile was a small one, and Mr.
O’Grady didn’t know lie had until he
left the towpalh and went to work in a
planing mill. One day he uud&rtook
to dispose of about three fingers of
Onondaga County applejack, and a ter
rible commotion ensued inside of bim.
The snake had undoubtedly grown
considerably, and being a creature of
temperate habits, objected to the apple-
jiC’k.
O'Grady’s life has been a burden to
him ever since. So long as he leaves
fermented liquors alone lie and tbe
euake have very little trouble, but if
he attempts to solace himself with a
little whisky, beer or gin the abstenious
serpent reads the riot act.
Doctors to whom the poor man has
told his tale of woe have intimated that
his snake is not au aquatic but an alco
holic reptile, and have declined to treat
the case.
- A few weeks ago Mr. O’Grady came
near getting rid of bis unwelcome
guest. He took a trip across the Cana
da line, and chanced one day to take a
liberal dose of Dominion ‘white water.’
The snake couldn’t stand tbe stuff
and tried to vacate his quarters. He
climbed half way np Mr. O’Grady’s
throat, but that gentlemen liked pres
ence ot mind, and instead of enuring
the serpent up, hoisted in another load
of white water, which drove tbe tem
perate reptile back. Then the snake
lay in O’Grady’s stomach and protest

SOCKLESS JERRY SIMPSON.
A Wichita, Kan., newspaper corres
pondent gives ihe story of the origin
of the term, “The Sockless States-
n,” as applied to Congressman-
elect Jerry blmpson, of Kansas. Il
seems from his account that the state
ment that Mr. Simpson does not wear
socks is a delusion and a snare, and
that tbe paragrapher has written bis
many little touching paragraphs about
“Sockless Jerry” all ior nothing.
Here is the Wichita man’s story:
“It happened this way: Jerry was
in Sterling, one of the salt ptodneing
towns in the Arkansas valley^deliver
ing a speech to a composite audience
largely made up of Alliancemen, some
Republicans and a few Democrats.
Now’, Jerry’s personal appearance Is
far from what tbe appellation ol
‘Sock less Statesman* would naturally
suggest to one unacquainted with the
man. He looks more like a prosper
ous banker than a rough, weather
beaten, mortgage-plastered old farmer.
So that when he touched up the corpu
lent aristocrats the incongruity of this
well dressed man calling them ‘silk
stockings, mortgage sharks* and tbe
like seemed altogether preposterous.
A horny-handed old farmer at this
juncture called out: “Pears to me.
Jerry, that you uns wear silk stockin’s,
too.”
“Qaiek as a wink, Jerry pulled np
his trousers. *My friend, them are all
the stockings 1 ever wore. If you
don’t see them Irom where you are,
come over and touch them.’ And
Jerry showed a bare leg half wav to
the knee. He did have on a pair of
socks, but they scarcely showed above
the top of bi* big shoes, so tbatthejr
deceived everybody. Somebody in tbe
audience shouted out: “By gosh' I he
ain’t got any,” and Jerry Simpson’s
fume had dawned. From that time on
Jerry was called the “Sockless States
man.” This nick-name spread all
over the seventh district like a wild
prairie fire, and Jerry was too smart a
boy to deny the report I guess ht
will be called the “sockless States
man” as long as he lives.”

Since the farmers have interested
themselves Lu matters of public con
cern, there has beeu some stated ap
prehension on the pm of the disturb
ed that they would attempt radical
revolution, thoroughly destructive to
party interests, and damaging to our
system of government aud tbe best In-
tamtaof tbe country. In tho minds
of the thoughtful aud observing these
fears are groundless, as, in all the his
tory of our people, the farmers are
*known to lonn the most conservative
element in ous^&vernment. Indeed,
it is known to be true that tho farmers
make the balance wheel in onr system;
they steady its movements, that It may
aot override and crush out the weak,
nor grow and develop in tho interest
of the strong.
Under the unwise administration of
our government, there has grown op a
“communism of wealth,” making an
aggregation of power controlled by
selfish purposes. Such conditions
have induced a “communism of pover
ty,” made up of all classes and "kinds
of labor, who are'oppressed by a sys
tem of governmental absorption. The
man in the mines, suffering under the
merciless exactions of a corporation
worse than tbe demands of any task
master that ever blistered the back of
a slave, rise in rebellion under the
mighty wrongs that oppress him, and
swears ruin to the government that

shop, and goes to his home at night,
dingy and dark, to huddle together in
a garret, Jjis children hungry, ragged,
and untaught chafes, and frets, and
curses, in his desperation, a govern
ment that protects the mighty power
of corporate wealth, while it sucks
away the life blood of the dying poor.
Throughout the land the laboring man
cries to humanity, to country, and to

Washington, Feb'. 11.—In his last
speech, explaining bis course on the
force bill, Senator Ingalls said:
I have been a Republican, Mr.

r - first vote was cast for Fremont in
ISofi, and l have voted without vari
ablei.css or shadow cf turning for
every Republican candidate since that
time, except in 1860, when being a rew

During that period I have never

“We are told, Mr. President, that

gages, and sales, and the general dis
turbances among the weaker classes of
our people demand Investigation and
remedy by those who would conserve
the best interests of the country, and
maintain the fundamental principles
of our government. This, and this
only, tho farmers, under organization,
are attempting to do.
There are, possibly, two conditions
more prominent than others, that Incite
to destructive measures in government.
First, a deep sense of intense wrong
inflicted, and second, a full conscious
ness of the power to return the injury
received. These' two conditions are
eminently true of the laboring classes
of America. Neither one of these con
ditions or causes, however, painful in
the one case, and effectually punitive
in tbe other, can righteously destroy
the high obligation in government, as
in general morals, to do right. It may
he high ground, but it is nevertheless,
true, that Injury inflicted can never
justify Injury returned. Let us do
right, iu society, in business, and in
government, though the heavens fall.
An injury can be properly resented to
the extent of an adjustment, but when
compensation is attempted through
wrong of equal hurt, It must be done
outside the bounds of propriety and
right. An enactment of government
that helps one class by wrongs inflicted
upon another, would be just as unwise,
if Its provisions remained the same,
while the classes were reversed. If
wrong in one instance, it is equally
wrong in the other. An Injury Is in
no sense ever right.
That the great. masses of our people
are struggling against wrongs in our
government, no sensible mau of this
day will deny. These wrongs must be
adjusted, not by inflicting injuries
upon other classes of our people, but
oy adjusting righteous justice tt\all in
dividuals and to all classes.
The contraction of our currency has
brought poverty to thousands of onr
homes and wretchedness to oar people,
and, yet, a sudden inflation of money
would be like a destructive cyclone,
making a wreck of business and gen
era! disaster over the land. Conserv
atism suggests that ladical revolutions
In government should not be made in
a day. Radical aggressiveness, goaded
on by burning wrongs, looks only to
temporary* personal reliefj'and leaves
the future and country to take care for
themselves.
In this straggle between “the com
munism ol wealth” and “the commnn-
i«n of poverty,” the farmers hold the
balance of power, and the ctmutry
rooks to them for relief In wise, con
servative, prompt and efficient action.

MB. GOULD’S VICTIMS.
How He Squeezed BIcod Oat of the
Terntiaal People.
New York Tribune.
“The victims” of Mr. Gould, in the
meantime, remained as his guests in
his private car. A great many stories
have been told 13 to how Mr. Gould
squeezed his triends In the Richmond
Termiual deal, and here is how the
gossip runs: Mr. Gould, Mr. Inman,
Mr. Brice and General Thomas were,
it is said, in a pool which purchased
Richmond and Termiual at a pretty
nigh figure, and to the amount of 70,•
0G0 shares. Iu the general slump of
;he market, in November last, Rich
mond Terminal fell off sharply. ’When
tt was down to 17 the pool began to
oel the pressure pretty severely; at
Least to all the members except Mr.
Gould, who had prepared himself to
■land a drain for fonds. It is said that
the pool members were forced to face
-he question of selling their shares. To
sell so large an amount as 70,000 shares
was to run the stock still further down,
in fact practically to nothing, and, at
•*he same time, affect other stocks un
favorably. Mr. Gould, who had fin
ished his arrangements for settliug
•Yestern railroad - traffic troubles
through the new association, which is
now in practical operation, was con
templating the securing of control of
a trunk line from the Mississippi to the
seaboard; and in this emergency, iu
which his fellows in the Richmond
Terminal pool found themselves, he
came to their rescue with a proposition
to assume tbe total burden of the whole
70,000 shares, which the others could
unload on him, without potting the
stock on tbe market at 12; but
Messrs. Thomas, Brice and Inman bad
uo alternative but to tranfer the pool
stock to Mr. Gould. It fell subse
quently to about 13, but It never
touched the figure at which Mr. Gould
bought out the others. His evident
pnrpose to make of the Richmond Ter
minal a trunk lino ontl6t for his West
ern roads to the seacoast has put the
stock up again to 19, hut Mr. Gould
and his “victims” are all believed to be
heavy losers on the original pooling
operation. It is suspected, however,
that Mr. Gould will recoup himself in
the end. Meantime his guests and
“victims” will not starve on their
Southern trip.

Here is something that will Interest
every Methodist in Georgia, and all
friends of Wesleyan Female College,
no matter where they may be.
The college belongs tothe South and
North Georgia conferences and has
been leased fora long time to President
W. C. Bass. President Bass pays the
conferences so mnch money, for the col
lege and he operates it. If the attend
ance is" large or small that does not
affect tbe price tbe conferences receive
year by year. The attendance this
year is tbe largest ill the history of the
college. For several years President
Bass has been contemplating to cease
leasing the college, partly on account
of his health and partly because be de
sired to go back to preachiog. Some
time ago he notified the board of trus
tees that he would not lease the college
after the expiration of the present
term-in June next. Accordingly, the
board of trustees met In Macon to-day
at the college, to discuss the plan of
operating the college after the presqpt
term. The question before the board
was whether it should be leased, as at
tresent, or be run by the board. The
toanl resolved to continue the lease
system, and left with its local trustees
the duty of making the best arrange
ment they coaid and report at a latter
meeting of the board.
Rev. Dr. W. H. Potter, chairman of
the board, presided at to-day’s meet-

the subject being demonology. First
in line was the title car bearing Lilith,
tiie serpent woman. Then Comus,
seated in tbe heart of a giant morning
glory, satyis of the forest, centaur gar
landed and festooned with vines,
wraiths of rainbow, the fiends of fire,
furies of the storm, the wijcbes of the
air, the demon of cold, the Imps of
darkness, the harps of remorse, the
hobgoblins of feSc^ tbe vampires of
war, the kobblods of tho fountains, the
bogles of the field, the monster^ of the
deep, tbe will o* the wisp, the shades
of fate, the devils of torment, the three-
headed monster standing guard over
the gates of sbeol.
HANDSOMEST EVER SEEN. .
To-night tbe temperature Is delight
ful, the mercury registering 55. The
Rex parade to-day and those ot Pro-
teas and Comug to-uight were tbe
handsomest witnessed here for the oast
ten years. To-night Rex and‘his
queen are serving their faithful sub
jects at the carnival palace, and the
thonsauds who have paid homage to
tbe royal couple evince tbeir increas
ing popularity. The reception was
followed by a grand ball.
After the procession Proteus and
bis Krew gave a series of magnificent
tableaux at tbe French opera house,
while Comus and his Krew delighted
their guests with tableaux at the Grand
opera house. The Rex exhibition was
followed by a magnificent bal!, and so
ends the carnival of 1891.

New York Son.
We speak of your country as the
Flowery Kingdom,” & reporter of the
Suo said to an officer of one*of the Six
Companies in San Francisco last au
tumn. “Do we get that name from
you? Is that what you call China?’’
“Yep,” said tbe dignitary, “we
callee him Flowelly Kingdom allee
same you callee him. Bat you Mel-
licans mean to call oar SIna that name
like yoa speakee about some flowers
glowing one summer in man’s
garden. We Sinamen callee Flowelly
Kingdom /*ame like evelly man Is
flowel. Oar great Sina teachers bab
tole os that Sina is allee samee like
garden and evelly man and woman Is
allee samee like Hoards. Than mean
we got on’y littee time to live. We come
up like littee leaf and littee seed. We
grow high one sammer. We makce
pie tty flowel, then we done and fall
down and anothel flowel come np in
