Now, It would bo very hard for any
man to Improve on tliesa utterances
from a Democratic standpoint, and
they will make friends for Mr. Hill
wherever they reach the people.
It will be seen that Senator Hill
pledges Now York’s electoral volo to

that while he lmd some to tell him thnt

man’s view of the situation, Mr. Brown
comes back from New York thoroughly
convinced that David B. IIII1 Is the
only man who can carry New York

On Wednesday of last week J. Horn, a
white man who belongs in Worth'
county, we believe, came to Albany
and got on a spree. Ho was arrested
for being drunk and disorderly, and
when searched at the guard house by
Chief of Police Westbrook a pistol was
found on him.
Tlic Chief swore out a warrant
against him,'and on Thursday Horn
plead guilty before Judge Jones of the
County Court to the charge of carry

ty imposed was fSO and costs or twelve
months in the chain gang.

and on Friday he went to MeCree’s

him, nnd hns placed Itself where It will
be impossible for it :to give him its
Kupport in the event of Ids nomination
by the Democratic party,
Ex-Senator Ingalls said in Ills
speech nt Topeka last week: “I am
tired of the ‘jrish-Amerlean,’ the ‘En-
gllsh-Amerlonn,’ the Scaudannviun-
Amqrioan,’ ilie’Frcnoh-Amerienn,’ the
’Gernian-AmerlonnI’ Welcome Irish

Frenchmen I Welcome Guru mans I
But welcome only ns Amerlcan-Amer-
enns.” Mr. Ingalls may bo out of pol
itics, hut ho still knows how to strike
thu popular ohord of patriotism.
Mr. Cummunuib, of New York, hns
Introduced a bill In Congress to pro
hibit thu Importation of hnnds, or
chestras and musical organizations
under conlrnct. This Is a species of
selfishness nnd bigotry unworthy of
tho United StateB. This country Ims
soarcely reached a stage of musical
development that would war
rant a refusal to llstun to the great
orohestral performers of Uuropc. Not
withstanding our boast of liberality
and enllgtitunment, snob nnrrow-
gtmgc legislation ns thlscould scarcely
be duplicated in any other country.
Should Mr. Cummings’ bill become n
law It would shut out any of the great
orchestras or bauds uf foreign coun
tries from tho World’s Fair.
THE CJUAItD IIOUNE
Turned Into n ' Tannery by nu Irate
Parent.
Just beyond the Western limits of
the city there lives a Negro man
nnmed Jackson Friday, who Is put to
n great deal of trouble on account of
the wayward conduct of Ills flfteen-
year-old son nnd heir, Andrew.
On several occasions Andrew has
left the paternal homestead and sought
employment in tbceity,buthas always
been recaptured nnd carried home by
Ills pater.
Some time since, the ambitious son
again left home, and old Friday wns
unnble to dud him. He knew that
Andrew was in the city, however, and
notified the police to arrest him if lie
could be found. On Friday Officer
Raley found the runaway, logded him
in the guard house and notified the
fattier, who at once set out for An
drew’s place of confinement, accom
panied by Officer Raley and carrying
n rawhide.
Immediately on entering, Friday
placed his sou’s ln»ad in the crack of
the door, Officer Raley held it in po
sition, and then the fun (?) commenc
ed. Blow after blow rained upon poor
Audrow’s vbauk,. and yell after yell
raised on high. He was taken home
with a smarting back, and in future
t lic remembrance of that thrashing in
the guard house will probably deter
him from running away from home.
Not another county nlone, but four
counties beard from, so the Chautau
qua Board of Managers Informs the

The splendid opportunities thnt the
Teauhers' Institute nffords those who
hive the training of our children un
der t heir charge, hns attracted general
attention. Not many teachers of the
ten counties designated by Commis
sioner Bradwrll will fail to be III Al
bany nt tho opening of the Institute.
In Mitchell county forty-seven tench-
ors have reported to tho County Com
missioner their Intention of at
tending the Institute. Twenty'
two teachers have been reported by
the Worth County Commissioner,
twenty-three from Lee County, while.
Berrien carries off the palm by signi
fying her Intention of sending fifty-
eight teachers to Improve themselves
In their line of work.
There lire six cooties more to be
heard from, ami If tho delegations
from these six compare favorably
with the four already heard frign, the
attendance will go beyond the most
sanguine expectations of the Institute
malingers.
The attractions that the program
presents warrants n large attendance,
however, and It Is hoped that the
Impetus given to educational interests
by this, the Inrgest Institute ever
held in the South, will result in the
keeping up of a live nnd enthusiastic
Teachers Association in every one of
the ten counties appointed by the
State Commissioner.

In tho South nre like Colonel Living

AT THE ONE NIGHT 8TAND8.
Effects of the Cold Nil lip.
The effects of the cold spell thnt set
in on Thursday and frozo up every
thing freezable on Frldny night fur
bished the lending topic of enquiry
nnd remark on Saturday.
Enrly vegetables suffered more than
anything else, perhaps. Peas, Irish
potatoes, beans, beets and other sensi
tive plants were killed down to the
ground wlidhe they were not protected,
nnd vegetation generally wore a sickly
look after the sun came out yesterday.
Tho fruit crop was doubtless effect
ually killed. Fruit trees of nearly
every kind wero either In full bloom
or bad advanced to the formation of
you.ng fruit. Nothing in tho way of
fruit, perhnps, escaped the blighting
effects of the freeze.
The flower gardens nlso looked
droopy yesterday. Roses and other
open-air plants were beginning to
bloom, nnd it was impossible to pro
tect them.
Aetor IV. J. Florence Give* Some of T*le
Experiences At tho Chemper Theatres.
The one night stand is commonly mode
In a theatre owned and managed by some
fairly successful bill poster or alderman
or real estate speculator, who knows as
much about a. pl?y house and the way it
ought to be run as I know about the
Sanskrit originals of Mr. Arnold’s poems.
A good many of these theatres are on
tipper floors abovo shops and offices.
They are approached by flights of narrow
and winding stairs, and I never go out of
ono without thanking my stars that there
has been no fire or panic during the
nigl^* Queer tilings happen in these up'
Hairs places once in a while. John Mc
Cullough wasplaying “Hamlet”in a the
atre of this sort some years ago. Just
beneath the stage was a furnace, attached
to a bakery or something of that kind, I
believe, nnd when the trap was opened
for the grave digger to get In, a gush of
hot air came up that was stifling. The
curtuin went up, and you can wager
that the grave digger made lively time
getting that pit ready for Ophelia. The
sweat poured from tho poor man in
streams, and ho piped his little song nnd
whistled his little speech nnd got out of
there with a jump. When the queen
came to scatter flowers on Ophelia’s cof
fin thu hot air caught them up and
wufted them into the flies, for they wero
made of tissuo paper. The curtuin cut
off that scene with a roar from the audi
ence.
In these cheaper theatres the manager
does not attend to business, but lets the
house “run itself,” and whatever you
need in the way of properties you must
beg, borrow, or buy, for he cannot be
looked to, or, at least, relied on, to fur
nish a sofa, a firo screen, or a pitcher of
water. The only time that he is punctual
is when tho business man is counting up
receipts/ The “stage” in these theatres
is usually small, the scenery bad, the
picked up orchestra set your teeth on
edge, tho programmes nre cheaply printed
and full of errors; lighting, heating, ven
tilation and cleaning are subjects that the
proprietor has not brought himself t6
consider, and you begin your night’s
work under most discouraging circum
stances. You change your clothes in a
perfect sty of a dressing room, with cold
air whistling through partitions of un
painted boards; you wash in a battered
tin basiu; you “make up” with a light
on only ono side of your face, and there
is no lock on your door. Then you go to
your hotel—and there’s another precious
circumstanco.
Hotel life in cities, os a rule, Is not
bad, especially if you lmvo your pick of
rooni3 nnd nnmo your hours for meals,
but you should seo some of tho hotels out
west, un<£, worse still, down south. To
all appearances they nre comfortable and
clean, nnd a glimpse of tho dining room,
with white cloths and porcelain nnd blnck
waiters in place, is like a promise of
merry sunshine; but wait until your din
ner comes—hog, hominy, hog, water,
hog, dry bread, then more hog. Every
thing swims in pork fat, and tho cook
AMONG TIIK FARMERS,
Thk Hkrald circulated among
tho farmers Saturday to ascertain
what the effects of the cold had been
upon the crops. The young corn was
nipped down to the ground, but the
prevailing opinion wns that it would
not be materially damaged. It will
come out again, and many farmers say
that corn that has been nipped by the
cold bears more grain nnd less fodder
than that whjch grows off without
this set-back.
Cotton is not up yet nnd will not be
affected by this freeze. Most farmers
in this region have nbout finished their
cotton planting, but the seeds are not
yet out of the ground.
The oat crop was not .^materiarfy in
jured.
A Quin Mnaday Wedding*
At 6 o’clock Sunday evening, at the
Baptist parsonage, Rev. Mr. Carroll
officiating, Miss Minnie Young and
Mr. W. E. Drake were made map and
wife.
The bride and groom are both Al
banians, quiet, steady young folks
of some excellent traits of character.
The groom is a carpenter and has
followed his trade in Albany for
several years, while the bride, togeth
er with au older sister, has been em
ployed for some time back in the
dress making establishment of Hof-
mayer & Jones.
There were no attendants or guests
at the wedding, and thetbride wore a
simple, neat street dress for her wedr
ding gown.
The happy couple went at once' to
the residence of Mrs, Hand near the
corner of Washington and Pine
streets, where the groom had engaged
board for himpelf and lady.
The friends of Mr. and Mrs. Drake
tender their heartiest congratulations,
and the Hkrald’s good wishes go

On tho road we met barefooted
darkeys, plodding steadily along, who
gladly returned our salutations, and
turned to clare at us as long as we wero
in sight. They earned everything with
which they wero encumbered on their
heads—coconnuts, jugs, coffee pots, cups,
bottles—all as securely balanced as if
those articles were a part of the anatomy
of their bearer.
Tho children, more pickaninnies,
toddled along with cans and calabashes
of molasses, yams, bananas, oranges, or
what not, as firmly fixed on their crania
as if they had been wens. A Martinique
boy will stow away as many personal
effects on the top of his head as a Yankee
boy will find room for in the pockets
of his trowsers.
We saw one youngster with a large
grass mat, several feet in diameter, which
he wore as jauntily as a chip hat. From
a distance he looked for all the world
like an animated mushroom out for a
stroll—an object, by the wny, wo should
not havo been at all surprised to fall in
with during our travels in this land of
sensitive plants; and ferns as tall as full

There never was a time when a

they’rd built to endure and they
