grateful for the eff irtsdisplayed by the
dally publications to give ail the news
When the Atlanta Constitution oi
last Sunday came out with a j.ictur*
of Grover Cleveland’s new girl baby
the whole land stood aghast at the en
terprise displayed and many people
were evidently of the opinion that the
Constitution had sent a special artist
to New York to get a picture of the
Labe immediately after its birth.
The fact that the picture of this in
fant was produced iu less than twenty-
four hours after its birth was calc el
ated to win the public applause foi
»uch enterprise, but if Grover Cleve
land ever sees that picture the i oo-
stilutioo may have a damage suit ol
its hands. Not only that, but tbt
Cuticura company, a patent medicine,
corporation, may sue the Constitution
for damages for using a cut to adver
tise the ex President’s baby, a cut Ihsi
was intended for the exclusive use ol
advertising its own remedies.
Newspaper enterp*i?e is something
| great, but the Constitution got there
j too fast in publishing the Cuticura
picture for Grover Cleveland’s baby.

plenty of room. “
To the Editor of the Atlanta Journal:
I notice ibat in a recent issue of the
Southern Alliance Farmer the revam
ped editor, Mr. Larry Gantt, assails
me lor ibe part I humbly preformed
in joining the people of Atlanta ii<
their indignation meeting over the re
jection of the Confederate veterans*
home.
I am not snprise 1 that oar protest
•lOKfnst that ungenerous and unpat
riotic action did not please Ur. Gantt.
1 am surprised that be should single
me out as the epeefal target for bis
•iharacterlsiic gutter-puddle squirt-
4un practice.
Iu all that I said In nay speeches up
on that memorable occasion I v >»as
perate, parliamentary and considerate
of the personal prerogatives of those
a hose public acts I was criticizing.
I remember that when I was speak
ing at the Kimball house one of the
front-rank auditors and hurraberswas
Mr. Gantt himself. At that particular
tnoinen Mr. Gantt was “out
»f the swim” with Alliance
powers, and was breathing
ut slaughter against his former inti
mates. He wa? industriously engaged,
between drinks, in whittling a lance-
pole and forging*a spear-point with
vlilch to run amuck through the ranks
of the conspirary between the Alliance
noguls and the corporation cormor-
intsl £ cat: vividly recall both the
roseate glow of bis fusiloil features and
he oppressive odor of his Bum-gard-
ler breath as he cheered much that I
aid and protested once only against
my charge that Colonel Livingston was
he Machiavel who defeated the bill.
Hie latter idea I declared to be false,
upon testimony I personally had that
Colonel Livingston favored the bill.
But i can produce reputable witnesses
that Mr. Gantt exhibited tbe hearties
sympathy with the general line of my
speech.
Whether his enthusiasm was due to
a real sentiment favorable to the old
confederate veterans, or was the result
of too liberal draughts of old crow from
behind the Kimball house bar, lam not
called upon to decide.
Now,- however, that Mr. Gantt
is juggl'd his way back in-
the editor3hin of the “South
ern Alliance Farmer,” And into a
wore absolute subserviency to the rule
his bosses, he changes front with a
liow of violence that betokens a
Hessian contract and a paid-proaelyte’s
faith. He denounces the people ol
Atlanta for their popular protest
i rreparable wrong done to
confederate veteraus and endeavors to
justify his Billingsgate by a personal
ittack upon me as the chief offender
n the proceeding. .
I ain more than pleasant to be pil-
!orcd if need be, on account of my
part in the sritir. I stood for a sen
timent that is cherished by every true
outhern patriot; I st >od for a pric^
ipal which remains as the only rigth
ous justification for the war in which
he Confederate Veteran earned the
eccmpense ot poverty, neglect and
1 isrrt%3; I stood for the popular de
mand that justice shall be done to th»
Ingering suffers among those veterans
J will continue to speak, write and lab-
»r tor the lulflillmcnt to them of th«
/real state contract under which they
enlisted and periled their all and losi
t bravely and forever. I have only
i e suprettiest pity for the mean,grov-
.tiling and stingy soul that will search
tike a night-prowling rag-picker for
technical picas on which to justify
j iraitnony and patriocide.
God b ess the good old soldiers ii.
»rey ! May the people of Georgia sooi
mice occasion to show them that grati
tu-ie has not fled their breasts, and pat
riotism holds a per,»ctual bond upon
-outhern palms.and purses.
As to Lvry *s discovery of erratic in
idents in my personal career, he F
rackllng over “chestnuts.’* I have ha<
•hanges of fortune, it Is true, and bsei
tiie victim of misjudgments and mis
fortunes. Such Is the average experi
ence of men.
But I have uevor been accepted as f
notoriously selfreversable acrobat be
tween personal veracity and politica
principles, with a record as a turn-coat

Telling Time by ai .-Lrloom.
“It’s an heirloom;” he said to the
Chicago Dally Tribune, as he took out
of bis pocket a watch as bigas an ordin
ary $2 alarm clock, and shook It to hear
the works rattie. “My great grand
father carried it.”
“What with—a truck?” asked his
frierd?.
“Ob, that’s all right,” responded the
man with the watch. “Have all the
fan yon want; but yon couldn’t dupli
cate it to-day for $200.”
“I suppose not. How much do you
think the freight charges on it would
be from here to New York?”
I know It’s big, bat I tell you it’s
priceless. It’s old-fasbioned, but it’s
all there.”
Yes, with some additions and bay
window. But, really is It reliable?”
“I can tell the time to half a minute
by it and swear to it. I’ll bet I come
closer to the exact time than you
now.”
I’ll go you.” He pulled out a
handsome little stem-winder, glanced
at it, and said: “It’s 12:33. Now get
a crowder and opeq your old safety-
deposit vanit and see what time yon
make it.”
The other pried the old watch open
with tbe back of a knife blade, studied
a moment, and then said:—
“Let me see,. This is Saturday, and
I set it last Thursday evening at 6
o’clock. That is a trifle over.42*^
hours ago. At a half a minute an hour
the total loss would be 21££ minute. I
now make it 12:14#. Adding 21# to
tbc.t would make the corrected time
13:35#, and I’m willing to leave It to
any chronometer In town. Talk about
your reliable watches! Why, you can
bet on this old heirloom and win every
time. It’s lost half a minute an hour
for sixty-three years. AH you’ve got
to do is to remember when you set it
and yon can figure tbe time down al
most to quarter seconds.”

The B id 1 groom Was Flustered.
On Wednesday eveuirg a young i»*an
•vith a pretty woman on his arm, enter-
-*.1 the Hotel Boyer.
At tiie door they parted, she remain
ing in the vestibule, whede her rustic
beauty caused a sensation, while h*
.vent up to the de?k and registered. Hi
v us evidently nervou^, for he nearly
put the wrong end of ihe pen in the
nk, and finally wrote: Mr. and Mrs.
Bia k and wife, and forgot to set down
the place he came from. The clerk,
however, whs used to such vagaries,
and assigned the newly married couple
to a room.
The bridegroom taking the key, still
in a state of flusterment, forgot ali
about the bride be had left upon the
threshold and hurried off up stairs.
When he reached the room of course
he remembered his life partner, and re
turned headlong to the office to find
iier. But in the meanwhile the clerk
had observed Mrs. Blank’s plight and
sent a bellboy to take her to her room
So when the bridegroom landed in tbe
lobby he found no trace of his better
half, and his consternation wa3 indes
cribable.
By this time a good many people
about the lobby had got wind of the
singular comedy that was being play
ed, and bets were being offered a3 to
whether tbe bridegroom would throw
himself into the Allegheny or call for
the polite. Before any such tragic,
ending to the drama could take place,
however, the clerk informed the hus
band where his wife was, and a reun
ion of a most affeoting nature was soon
brought ahont in the corridor above.

How Monkeys Sleep.
Cincinnati li nes-Star.
“Do you know,” said the monkey
man at the Zoo, “that few people ever
saw a monkey asleep? I suppose there
ire people who imagine they never do
sleep, as they are usually alert in the
presence of visitors.” It was yesterday
afternoon and this drowsy September
air had exerted its influence upon a
sleepy mnstached monkey, and the
Delegate liad a good view of the sleep
ing beast. He lay upon his shelf, upon
his back, with bis arms throw n careless
ly about, bat the .pretty feature was ^with-Aome chance of -victory,
the position Ot the lotfg tail. Is,was
curled about tbe body, and fust under
the bead it made a. double curl, and
upon this soft roll rested the monkey’s
head—a pillow fit for a king. “When
alone they always use their tails for
pillows,” said the keeper, “but if two
or more sleep at tbe same time they
huddle close together, resting their
heads upon one another.
Subjected to Legal Severity.
Here is a little iucldent which may
happen in San Francisco almost any
time, says the Examiner, under the
operation of the Chinese exclusion
law:—
Officer—I hear a new Chinaman has
•trrived at your house without account
ing for himself to tbe em : gration of
fleers?
Ah Wang—There has.
“Is he a returned merchant? Has
he ever been in the country before?
“He has not.”
“Then I suppose yon know it Is
igainst the law for him to stay here? 1
“I did not know it.”
“Well, it Is so. Produce him.”
“But be is only a baby. He was
horn this morning.”
“That makes no difference. Unless
he can prove a previous residence in
be United States he will have to be
-ent back to the country where he came
from. The law is explicit.”
Sheds Her Skin Regularly.
Dr. Frank* whose paper on cases
of human beings who shed their skin
regularly created so much enterest in
the Chicago Medical society, has re
ceived the following letter from Mrs.
E Shutt, of Atim&h, Washington
county Neb: “I am thirty-nine years
old, and since, the year 1S76 have had
an attack of this kind every second or
third year regually. In March 1889,1
had a very bad time and entirely shed
my skin. In May of the same year 1
had another ‘spell,’ as I call it. My
?kih came oil in the same manner as
this man you wirte about. My hair
falls off every time and my nails come
oat. in March of this year it was the
*ame old story. My symptoms were
tiie same as those of Mr. Price. My

to you there is another case like the
one you wrote about.”—Omaha Bee.
Street-Car Riding.
Boston Herald.
Those people who write to the pa
rs to say that just so many passen
gers should ride upon a street-car, and
no more, have a singular iak of knowl
edge of what is practicable or deaira-
among the people of Boston. In the
place.it would be actually impossible
with onr present facilities, to carry
the people at certain seasons of the
day under snch conditions. In the
next place, there would be an indig
nant uprising against such a scheme
it pat into operation, which would be
resistless. Men grumble about being
compelled to cling on to tbe edges of
the cars and to ride on them in a
standing position, but refuse them
the liberty to do this, if the alterna
tive were to see a car leave them on
which they wish to be carried, and it
woald quickly be proved that tbe
right to ride when they could obtain a
foothold was one of tbe inalienable
rights of the citizen. He would
rather surrender even the right to
grumble itself than to part with it.

note.—• Columbu:
A mosque is about to be erected in
Vienna lor the use of the Mussulman
the fellow troops from Bosnia and Herzegovina,
ed protector about October 1. The
monitor Maintonomoh lacks only
tbe placing of two great guns in the
fore turret to be compltte. The guns
are done already on the decks of the
monitor as she lies at a dock in the
Brooklyn navy yard. She is to be
placed in commission at once, even il
ibe work is not entirely complete.
The finishing touches can be put on
later. The Maintonomoh will be un
der the command of Capt. Montgomery
Sicard The Maintonomoh will proba
bly make her first cruise to Gardiner’*
bay for a trial of her new ten-inched
guns
The big double-turreted monitor has
a long history. She was one of the
fleet of ironc’ads built toward the close
or the civil war after the model of the
famous Little Monitor. At tbe time
Uncle Sam bad, for the second time in,
his history, the most powerful nav;
In the world, and the Maintonomoh
wa3 the most formidable ship in
She was built of # oak. She was^257
feet long, fifty-three feet broad aun
drew firteen feet and lour and a hall
inches. Her armor, which wa3 iron,
bolted into her bull. Iu 1871 she was
rebuilt of iron, together with the Am*
pbitrite. Terror and Monadnek and
placed In commission a second time
In 1883 she was brought again to the
Brooklyn navy yard and has remained
there ever since, nearly all the time in
repair of alteration.
The Monitor now has 12# inches of
blended steel aud iron on her sides and
two Colt’s turrets, each bolding two
10-iuch modern rifles. Her length is
259# feel aud her beam 55# feet. She
is not completely modern even now,
after ail her struggle to catch up with
progress In naval architecture. Hei
armor i3 not of the nickel steel, which
will probably incase the Maine and
other big war ships. But the mingled
iron and steel are sufflrieut for a ship
of her build, for 6he squats down In
the water so that she practically pre
sents no target, except her slight su
perstructure and these can be sbol
away without crippling her.
The Maintonomoh is the first really
formidable ship of the new navy.
She Is a battle-ship of the new navy.
She is a battle-ship, in one sense of tbe
word, for there is no ship-of-war In
any water which she could not meet
But
she is primarily a harbor-defense ship.
Her business is not to go out to meet
an enemy in other waters, bat to lie in
wait lor an approaching foe. To sneb
a foe she would give a welcome
worthy or her flag, for in every re
spect except her armor she is powerful
modern. The enormous ten-inch
rifles in her turrets are the largest and
most effective marine guns ever bulk
in this country They throw solid
steel pn-jvjctiles weighing five hundred
pounds with an effective fighting rauge
ot seven miles, and can hurl them
thirteen miles.
Besides these big guns she will
cary on her superstructure and mil
itary mast two six-pounder rapid-fire
guns, two thirty-seven-ton revolving
cannon and two Gatlings. These will
be useful for close fighting and to
drive off torpedo boats.
She will be a welcome addition to
the fleet of swift cruisers which will
flash their white sides in our waters
She is not graceful nor swift, bat she
can fight, and the can not. As the
Maintonomoh nears her period of ac
tivity the work upon her sisters, the
Huritan and the Terror, g-ows more
lively. Botli will probably be com
pleted in the spring or early summer
ot 1892.
How Is This?
Philadelphia Ioqu'rer.
“It is a curious thing,*! said one of
the clerks for tbe sale of stamps in the
post-office, “that men will in nlneteses
out of ten go to the window presided
over by a woman clerk, while the
women purchasers will almost invari
ably go to the man’s window. In fact,
I have noticed a woman after stamps
get in line behind one or two persons
and wait to resell the man’s window,
while the window where the woman
clerk sits, but a step away, Is vacant.
Then 1 have also observed that men in
search of information almost invanbly
go to a woman clerk, and that women
go to a man.”

It wr.s on the train, and he was try*
lug to read. There was tins usual vm~-
ety of passengers, siys Texas Siftings,
among them a lady with a very spright
ly little girl that had bine eyes, a bead
of glistening gold and an inquisitorial
tongue. She plied him with questions
and toyed with his watch chain. The
mother, who was a widow, fairly
beamed upon him. He was becoming
nervous, aud turning to the mother
said: “Madame, what do you call
this sweet little darling?”
The widow smiled enchantingly and
replied, with a sigh, “Ethel.”
“Please call her, then.”
Was It a Coincidence ?
It isn’t worth while to worry over
the cause and significance of strange
happenings, especially when they are
of the following charachter: A De
troit lawyer promised his wife a sum of
money ($100) on a certain day, and
when that day arrived he found, j'
before the close of banking hours, that
he must pay in that money to save a
note from being protested.
Accordingly he went home with a
story elaborated as to the whys and
wherefores, to receive a letter which
had been delivered at bis bouse and
which contained a check for $100
The odd thing about this fact is that
the check came from a client who had

afternoon froui Pittsburg by Govern
ment Detective W. C. Negus to Geo.
W. Whitebedk, a millionaire of Port-
l*nd 3 Ore. Mr. Whitebeck and his
wife for six long years have mourned
the loss of their baby boy, Harry, who
was spirited away from thetr princely
home v. heu a mere infant. Detective
Negus found the little fellow with
Loog. .Mr
Negns'?* story was:
•‘George W. Whitebeck was one of
the most successful dealers on the
Oregon coast. He retired from busi
ness ten years ago and married Lydia
Robinson, daughter of one of the
wealthiest California forty-niners. She
was Mr. Robinson’s only child, aud be
gave her a dowry of $500,000. The
happy young couple built a floe residen
on the outskirts of Portland. Within
two years this little fallow (patting
Harry on the head affectionately)
came into the world. He is seven
year3 old to-day. The little fellow
was the light of the home. Old Mr.
Robinson came to live with his daugh
ter, saying that his greatest pleaure
in life was to be with his grandson.
Envious people, however, wore found,
and one afternoon, when the child was
fourteen months old he was spirited
away. A diligent search was prose
cuted but no trace of him could be
fouud. The parents, almost frantic,
offered fabulous amounts of money for
the return of their boy.
“About a month afterward the fam
ily received a communication from
San Diego, Cal., purporting to be
from tbe kidnaper, stating that if $10,-

search. Detective aTter detective has
owned himself b ffl.d, and retired
from the field. I have- been steadily
for two years in search of the boy, and
in that time have visited almost every
citv in the United States.
“I came acrosf my first clew at Oma
ha. Ned., about six months ago, when
£ learned that a woman having a
strange child bearing the peculiar
marks which belonged to Harry had
left there two years previously for
Pittiburg. I followed on and found

had gone goodness knows where. 1

Long at Homestead. His wife wa«
dead, and I found Harry playing In the

him that she had got Harry from an
other woman, who passed the boy off
as her own and coaid not afford to keep
him. Long didn’t make any fuss, and
£ hurried the boy off to Homestead, got
him some new clothes and cleaned him
up, and now we are going home to his

Jackson, Miss., September 30.—
Those who expected io see the statue
of Jefferson Davis unveiled in this city
J at an early day are doomed to be dis
appointed.
The statue presented by the contrac
tor and inspected by the local commit
tee has been rejected.
Only one member of tbe committee
of ten voting for its acceptance. This
will be sad news to many Mississip-
pians, all of whom are anxious to do
honor to the memory of the state’s best
beloved.
There is no violation of confidence
in the' statement that the people of this
state are sorely disappointed in Mrs.
Davis* determination to bury her hus
band, the state’s idol, away from his
home and his people.
- The last time Mr.Davis visited Jack-
son, in 18S4, he said before a joint ses
sion of the legislature that though
many rights had been denied him, the
one nearest and dearest to his heart
could not be denied, and that was the
right to be a Mississippi.
The people of this state have no feel
ing of unkindness; theirs is no pain,
surprise and regret that this represen
tative of state sovereignty in his life
should be carted through the state after
death and his remains deposited
amidst people that he respected and ad
mired bat whom he never knew nor
loved.
This, briefly, is the feeling in Miss
issippi and your correspondent has it
from the very surest of authority.

One cold afternoon in the winter ol

5 years, with long golden curls, says
the New York Recorder, entered tin
3hop in which I was then employed,
and, approaching me, timidly said:—
“£ want to det ray carls tut off?”
I looked at her incredulously, as did
the many customers who were present
and said: —
“Why, my child, do you wane to
have your pretty curls cut off. Does
your mother know of this?”
Miss Mollie Miller, of Anderson,
No,” she replied, “but I’m going wife No. 2 of Charles Wesley, tbe
to give mamma the money I det for the
turis.”
“Bat why do you want to do this,
my child ?” I asked kludly.
Well, my mamma is so sick aud she

and the man what keep3 a hair ston

and div it to mamm.”
You may well suppose were deeply
touched by the child’s recital. I did
not “tut” her “turis,” but the hat was
passed around and I counted $12.C0 as
tbe result. One of those present took
the child to her home and found her
story but too true.

Millxdgevillk, Ga., Sept. 30.—
This morning just after S o’clock tbe
the great goog on the Girls’ Industri
al School sounded forth its call, and a
few minutes later considerably over a
hundred young ladies became enrolled
as scholars. The organization was
carried on with remarkable rapidity,
and during the day nearly every ar
rangement was perfected for active
work. The average age of those en •
rolled this morning is a little over 17
years. Eighty per cent, of those in
attendance are the daughters of form
ers. Iu an «nterview to-night Presi
dent Chappell and Prof. Beals, both
ol whom have wide experierce in
such matters, stated that the opening
of the school showed the finest body
of girls ever brought together for a
similar event in Georgia, and that the
organization has been accomplished
with unprecedented rapidity. All
the pupils have scholarships, and this
fact gives uncommon brilliancy to the
pupils as a whole. The pupils were
all furnished with materials for schol
astic work to-day, and instruction
will begin without any interruption
The people of Milledgeville
have done a good part
by the school, and good board is given
the scholars at $12.50 a month. Presi
dent Chappell and said to-night that
the number of scholars enrolled would
be increased to nearly 200 in the next
few days.

A Jeweler’s Story.
A jeweler relates this surprising
story: “Sometime ago Mr. A came
to my place and bought a pair of dia
mond eardrops for his daughter, a
girl of seventeen or eighteen, who was
attending school, Her teacher was
struck with the gems and asked leave
to borrow them and take them home.
Thi3 permission was readily given. A
few days later I went into lapidary’s
shop that I was in the habit of visiting
to get jobs done once in a while, and
there I saw a pair of earrings beside
the cutting wheel. ‘Hello,’ said I,
where did these come from?*
“Thelapidary said: ‘Oh, that’s a
job that came in this morning from
Fnnkenstein, down the street. He
wants the diamonds taken out and
paste put in their place.*
“ ‘Well,’ said I, ‘you’d better save
your labor. - Don’t do any work od
those until you hear from me.’ I went
to Mr. A., brought him to see the ear
rings, then we went to Funkensteln’s
together and asked how he came by
them—for they were the pair that I
hrd sold a few days before. He said
that they had been brought to him by
Mrs. . a good teacher, who bad con
cluded to sell the stones and replace
them with imitations. We decided to
spare the woman, and of course the
diamonds were returned, but I never

men were reparing the wharf on Bates

some large stones from the water’s

these, they’discovered the skeleton
of a fnil-grown person, to which had
been attached a number of large lead

and at G p. m. Messrs. Ellis,

ed a carage and drove out
of town, accompanied by County Engi
neer Gunter, who represented the citi
zens’ committee. The party carried
two boxes in the carriage, containing
two mocars and a dozen 21-pound
bombs. When the outskirts of the town
were reached the mortars were unpack
ed and set upon a small hill. Three
rounds were fired, four shells being ex
ploded at each volley, while broken
clouds were passing overhead. No rain
was falling anywhere in the yiclmty
when the firing began.
But after every report a sharp show
er fell, and as the clouds passed away
to the southwest the rain was seen to
be falling in torrents over a limited

fired tiie party were drenched, and re
turned to the hotel. The rain could be
seen spreading off to the southwest,
and in 40 minutes a heavy
raip was ‘ falling, which was

and continued for half an hour. Mr.
Ellis was seen at the hotel and said:
“The citizen’s committee objected to

were boasting about tbeir indifference
to the bites of mosquitoes. Tbe dis
pute got so warm that Mac bet Allis-
ter that be was the better man. Both
agreed to lie down on the veranda, in

drinking were permissible, but the
first man who complained o.f the bites
was to lose a case of whisky. For a
long time each endured tbe onslaught
of the blood-suckers: but, at last, Al-
lister could stand it no longer. He
turned over, preparatory to capitulat
ing, and noticed that Mac’s back was
toward him. Allister was smoking a
cigar, and carefully removing the ash,
he applied the butt end to Mac’s
