Everybody wants to see l)r. Ander
son and Prof. Genrhenrt wrestle and
box. •
A great deal of bard work is being
put on the Cliniitmiqua music.
Tile chorus tills the Methodist
church with a rieii volume of sound
every evening, and nearly every hour
of the day you may hear in different
parts of town some singer sliding up
and down the senles, trying to reach
higli notes never reached before or
practicing a difficult trill.
The Chautauqua musical program
has never presented so great a variety
of attractions ns it does this year.
Judging by the talent employed and
by the efforts made, the Chautauqua
tent will again and again ring with
rapturous applause elicited by the
most excellent music tlint will be
given.
The various programs are not com
pleted ns yet, and there will doubtless
be several additions to them from
among the talented visitors attracted
here during the assembly week.
But those who linve already consent
ed to assist in the music area sufficient
guarantee of its excellency.
The vocal soloists are to be Mrs.
Jim Tift, Mrs. R. Lee Jones,'Mrs. X.
J. Cruger, Miss Hattie Hall, Miss
Ilnllie Cox, Prof, C. C. Case, Mr. A. C.
vonGumlell, Mrs. Dr. Davis, and Mrs.
McHenry, of Madison. /
Prof. C. C. Case, forgone solo, will
render, "Roaming in Foaming Bil
lows,” from Haydn’s Oratorio of the
Creation.
The instrumental soloists nre Mrs.
Geiger, Misses Eva Brown, Betti#
Sterne and Mamie Crowe.
There will be several duets and
trios by our best musical ability,
indies’octette, and probably a gentle
man's quartette.
Do you see how numegoiis nre the
good things?
The music is to be more distributed
tilts year tlinn last, for arrangements
arc being made to put one or two
inusicnl selections before the lectures,
and to intersperse Fred Emerson
Brooks’ entertainments with nil oc
casional good piece of music.
It is all sure to be enjoyed.
The Tenchers’ Institute is a big
tiling, and will bring lots of people to
Albany.
The Methodist Church is now the
center of attraction fjr both ,sexes at
night. Chautauqua chorus practice.
Miss Fi.aoi.er’s class is still grow

little girls anil boys are all extremely

From the number of pretty

that spring was much further nd-
nneed than it is.
Quite a number of tile military com
panies that nre expected in Albany on
Military day of Chautauqua will drill
11 the old tactics.
Con. W. W. Parker and Mr. A. F.
Floyed nre both grieving over the loss
the same seven pound ■ trout in
Kiiiclinfoonee creek.
The admission feu of ten cents
which is now charged to witness tile
Kickapoo show doesn’t seem to make
the audiences any smaller.
Prof. Case Ihib an interesting olnss
of between twelve and fifteen pupils
in harmony, voice culture, and sight
reading. They meet in the Methodist
church from 3 o’clock to 5 in tile after
One of the prettiest sights in all
the Chautauqpa entertainments will
be the third tableaux of tile Colum
bian set of life pictures.
There will then be pictured to the
admiring audience the thirteen
original colonies grouped about
beautiful Columbia.
It would be difficult to find a gather
ing of fairer young girls than will
offer homage to the Goddess of Liber
ty in that scene.
The thirteen colonies will be repre;
sented by Misses Fonda Gilbert, Ella
Pope, Dita Bostwick, Hallie Cox,
Jessie Walters, Rosa Merriwether,
Dora Raine, Lena Haddon, Annie
Bell, Julia Flint, May Davis, Julia
Cox and Louella Gilbert.
They are all to wear Grecian COS'
tumes and will be arranged in grace;
ful attitudes by the committee.
Do you not think that it will be dif
ficult to find a prettier picture than
these thirteen young ladies and Co
lumbia will make?
WHY 18 I* THAT—
Bees never store up honey where
is light?
The moth has a fur jacket and the
butterfly none?
Leaves will attract dew when
boards, sticks anU stones will not?
A horse always gets up foreparts
first and a cow directly the opposite?
Corn on the ear is never found with
an uneven number of rows?
Fish, flies and caterpillars may
frozen solid and still retain life?
A squirrel comes down a tree bend
first and a cat tail first?
Electricity is never visible except
when it comes in the form or ziz-zag
lightning?
A horsefly will live for hours after
the head has been pinched off?
YVkr N« D« Ilf
From the Elkhart Truth.
The removal of the duty on sugar
has made sugar cheaper, a reduction
of the duty on binding twine has
made binding twine cheaper, and why
not remove the duty on wool and also
make all woolen qojnnipd(ties cheaper?
They are of considerable more impor
tance to the people than either sugar
or binding twine, and, if made cheap
er, would be more beneficial in reduc
ing the cost of living.
Wonder why Dawson was selected
as the place for the Republican con
vention of the Second Congressional
district to meet?

offering to bring Ids band over during
Clmiitauqua week, but lie inis not yet
been engaged.
Will the small tents wliiuh linve
been erected in the court liouso

again tills year? They add greatly to
tlm looks of the grounds.
Du. Huuo Ronixsox lust a lino

when first discovered the dog was too

Wooten lias heard from over
a dozen companies who have accepted
the invitation to be present on Mili
tary day of Chautauqua. There are
several more to be honrd from yet.
A thermometer was hung 111 front
of Hilsman & Agar drug store Friday
night, and the police registered the in
dications every hour. At 8 o’ciock the
mercury stood at HU, and nt midnight
it wns down to 28)^.
The fruit blossoms and vegetables
were all killed Friday night. The
freeze was a very severe one, anil nil
vegetation suffered. Borne will come
out ngain, but most of tbo fruit trees
will be barren tills year.
Foun or five little white boys were
arraigned before Mayor Gilbert yes
terday morning oil a charge of shoot
ing parlor rifles within tbo city limito.
They were let off witli a reprimand' on
account of tlieircxtreine yoiitlifulness.
The tank that was built last year on
lower Washington street for use by
the street sprinkler, lias been moved
to the vacant lot back of Harris’ store,
on Pine street. A pipe will be run to
it and tbo tank will bo kept'full, so
that the sprinkler can be Tilled in a
few minutes. Tills is a big improve
ment.
Prof. Gearhart has expressed his
willingness to remain in Albany after
Chautauqua if he can secure n clnss
large enough to warrant him in doing
so. The young men would do well to
keep Prof. Gearhart here, as lie is a
splendid athletic trainer, and the op
portunity lie offers them should not
be thrown away.
Miss Dean, of‘Eufaula, will spend
Chautauqua week witli Mrs. Y. C.
Rust.
All who met Miss Dean during .her
visit in Albany last winter were quite
charmed with her and will be more
than delighted to welcome lier book
again.
Mrs. J. F. Nelson lias been confined
to her bed witli tonsitetis for two or
threo days. She was very ill on
Thursday, lmt was reported better
yesterday.
Tlie new and yet old style that the
young women are now adopting of
twining strings, of pearls through
their hair is a pretty style of hair
dressing. It gives such a soft look to
a woman’s face, that whenever site
can, she should always twist tier pearls
through her hair.
Miss Mattie Hightower, of Damas
cus, will visit Mrs. J. F. Nelson during
Clmiitauqua—induced to accept her
friend’s cordial invitation liy the
ninny attractions that the assembly
week will present.
Amqtlg tbo peculiar occupations of
women, which Mrs. Virginia Perry
enumerates, nre the following: In
Buffalo a woman runs n street-clean
ing bureau; In Kansas City a woman
is in the fire department; nt Vassnr a
woman combs linir nt twenty-five
cents a bend; a Louisville lady makes
special shopping trips to Paris; an
other ill New York mnkesflat furnish
ing a business; still nnotlier in New
Hampshire is president of a street
railway company, while Chicago lias
a woman embnlmcr.
Capt. Ed. Bniith, conductor on the
B. & IV., 1ms left the road for n short
time on account of ill health, He is
in Atlnntn for treatment.
Miss Mary Lee Felder, daughter of
tile Rev. Mr. Felder, of Cutlibert, who
wns formerly pastor of the Methodist
church,'will visit friends in Albany
during Clinutnuqua.
Tlie gentlemen have been thinking
some more wise tilings about women.
This is wliat they say :
That n woman wiio flirts on tlie
street or street cars is either silly, in
sane or not respeotnble.
Tlint a woman should know how
to cook, whether she 1ms any Imme
diate need for the accomplishment or
not.
That tbo woman who blond! lies her
linir unconsciously weaves much of
her life’s history in tlie golden meshes
for all men to rend.
Misses Carrie and Tracy Cohen, two
of Augusta’s most charming young
Indies, and Miss Lillie Bilverman, n
very attractive young iady from At
lanta, arrived with Miss Minnie
Ehrlich Inst week and will be her
guests until nftcr Chautauqua.

Tlie New York Press has been col
lecting opinions as to what constitutes
“woman’s greatest clmrin.” Hero are
a few of tlie opinions: ,
Grace of expression is pre-eminent
ly woman’s greatest charm.
I tlii uk woman’s greatest clmrin is
neatness.
It is my unalterable conviction that
a kindly, gracious manner is a charm
greater than any beauty of face or
form, sparkling wit or various accom
plishments.
A woman’s greatest charm lies in
her power to love.
Take my word for it, girls, and be
natural. Therein lies your greatest
charm, and in the long run you will
cume out ahead.
I should say that it was womanli
ness, as every man loves a womanly
The Atlnntn Constitution of Satur

from New York:
Tho Telegram this evening says:
"Notwithstanding all that is said con
cerning the anxiety of Mr. Cleveland
To be renominated for the presidency,
tile Telegram is in a position to an
nounce, An unimpeachable authority,
that the ex-PresIdent recently wrote a
letter declaring that he would not nl-
low his name to be put in nomination.
• “This letter was written in vigor-
oils nnd sweeping language. Mr.
Cleveland snid in tlie strongest and
simplest way that lie would not aooept
the nomination. No one but Mrs.
Cleveland knew of tlie lettor. Tho
ex-PresIdent penned it without tho
knowledge of ills political friends in
order to prevunt them from attempt
ing to interfere with Ills action. Mr.
Cleveland intended to make the letter
public through tile Associated Press
and it wns written witli tlint purpose
In view.
“Oil the very day Hint the declina
tion wns to be published Mrs. Clever
land saved I lie situation by sending
for one of the leader’s most trusted
friends. To this gentleman Mr. Cleve
land frankly confessed that lie wns
sick of the littleness nnd bickerings

so much ns his little finger to seenre

which eoiilfi be printed nt once.
“After a few minutes of conversa
tion Mr. Cleveland’s friends induced
him to promise tlint the letter would
net be given to the Associated Press
for twenty-four hours. Word wns
sent to several of the most faithful
nnd level-headed Cleveland men and a
council was hurriedly held, Mr.
Cleveland spoke with great feeling nt

to withdraw the letter.”

Officer Jim Kemp is red hot over a
joke perpetrated at his expense Frl
day night. Mr. W. E. Hilsman placed
a thermometer on the outer wall of tlie
Hilsman & Agar Co’s store before clos
ing up, and requested Officer Barron
to notice it at intervals through the
night, so that he might know the low
est temperature reached. At 12 o'clock
Hr. Kemp went on duty and relieved
Officer Barron, who told him,for a joke,
that the weather bureau had tele
graphed orders to the Mayor to tlie
effect that a record of wliat the ther
mometer registered was to be taken
every hour, and that the Mayor had
ordered ( the police officers to take this
record/ And all through the long,
cold hours of the morning Officer
Ketnp left some cozy nook and went
to take the hourly record of what the
thermometer registered, only to find
in tlie morning that the whole thing
was a joke. He is very wrathy, and a
city official has suggested that the
thermometer take the place of n watch
man's clock in future.
Untidy Holloway and Henry Jakes,
two well-known Negroes of tho town,
had a row in Anthony McCarthy’s bar
in Smoky Row at about'half past 11
o’clock Saturday night.
Tho difficulty grew out of n gnmo of
dominoes. Henry wns one of the
players, nnd Handy was keeping the
game. A dispute arose which finally
led to blows, anil tho two men ran out
of the house—Handy in the lend.
After reaching the sidewalk Handy
turned suddenly nnd stabbed Henry
in tlie left arm, near the shoulder, and
then dnslied off across tlm street as
fnst as he oould clip it. Henry ran
into Price’s liar and oamo out with n
chair. At tlm door lie mot officer
Barron, nnd, dropping tlie clmir, led
the officer in pursuit of Handy,
0 Handy rail to Ills homo on Jackson
street, near Deflnnee engine house.
Officer Barron was soon joined by
Deputy Marshal McLarty, and Handy
wns escorted to the guardhouse.
Quite a crowd of Negroes were at
tracted to tlie street by tlie row,
and nearly all of them nppenred to
take the side of Henry Jake. After
being .arrested Handy seemed'to be
afraid that tlie crowil meant to do him
barm.
Henry’s wound is not a serious one.

Who Wns 81. Patrick?
To tills question the New York Sun
gave tlie following answer on last
Thursday, St. Patrick’s day i
We have never yet seen any solid
reason for doubting that St. Patrick
waB an Irishman. We are familiar
witli the arguments that have been
made by scholars, even by some Irish
scholars, to show that he was a Gaul, a
Scot, a Welshman, and what not. The
Gallic claim looks pretty strong, and
so does the Scotch claim,, which is
more than can be said of the Welsh
claim; but neither the Gallic nor the
Scotch is sustained by conclusive evi
dence, and we must leave the ' great
Balnt, whose original name was Sac-
catch, to Erin. He visited Gaul at one
time, and probably also Italy; but
this does not prove that he was a na
tive of either of those countries. The
notion that he was a Scot, born in Kil
Patrick, may have grown out of the
fact that, in his time and for centuriea
afterward, Erin was known as Scotia,
a name not then applied to the coun
try now called Scotland. Let us then,
we repeat, accept the argument of
those who hold that he was a son of
Erin, in which country, for sure, he
was buried. And this day, the 17th
day of March, is the day that com;
inemorates his translation to heaven,
the day that is celebrated by Irishmen
all over tlie world, the day of the wear
ingofthe green, the day on which
real Irish shamrock . Will be seen in
New Y'ork, the day of Ireland’s harp
and flag—long may It wave.

Hie Haviuv Written Ibnt Letter thnt
Wasn’t Published.
Tlie New York Herald of Frldny
publishes a Lakowooil, N. J., dispatch
embodying an interview with Mr.
Cleveland about *tlie story in tlie
Evening Telegram, to the effect that
previous to his having written the let
ter to Gen. Bragg, of Wisconsin, in
which he left it to bo inferred that if
the people so willed it, he would accept
the Demoor&tio nomination for the
presidency he had prepared a letter
for the Associated Press in which he
positively -declined to be a candidate.
Before writing it, however, the story
went, he was persuaded to destroy it.
“Why,” resumed the ex-president,
“I never dreamed of writing suoh a
letter and surely if I had penned such
a letter I would know something about
it. Well, well,” he continned, “so they
say Mrs. Cleveland induced me to sup
press a letter which was never writ
ten. That silly story is an absurd one,
for the main fact that Mrs. Cleveland
never Interferes in political matters
in which I am concerned.
“The only letter I have written of
late was the one to Gen. Bragg, and
that was written in a hurry and just
when I was on the point of leaving for
my gunning trip. That letter ex
pressed my views plainly.”
During the conversation, which was
in the reception room of his Isolated
cottage, Mrs. Cleveland sat in the ex-
President’s private study, which ad.
joined the sitting room, and the door
of which was ajar.
It will be a right hard matter for
any Democrat to find a plausible ex
cuse for becoming a candidate in op
position to W. J. Northen for Govern,
or next fall.
