The Soldier’s Home.
Atlanta, Ga., Jan. 29—The committee
of the grand lodge of the Masons appoint¬
ed to consider the practicability of con¬
verting the Soldiers’ Home property .in¬
to a Masonic asylum met hero today and
made a personal inspection of the prop
erty. The committee is compose! of
Grand Master John P. Shannon, of El
berton, A. M. Walcheimer, secretary of
the grand lodge, of Macon; A. U. McDon
ell of Savannah, Dr. Eugene Foster of
Augusta, W. B. Daniel and C. 1’. Gordon
of Macon, John W. Aiken of Cartersvllle,
W. F. Parkhurst of Atlanta and IV- A.
Davis of Macon.
A. W. Walton of Rome, representing
the grand commandery, met with the
committee.
After the visit to the home property,
Grand Commander Shannon said the
committee was highly pleased with it, and
disposed to take charge of it, if the trus¬
tees offer such terms as the grand lodge
can meet. The grand lodge is not, how
ever, in a position to undertake any con¬
siderable ex; ease, although now out of
debt.
Tomorrow the trustees and the com¬
mittee of the Masons will meet together
and probably arrive at some definite
agreement. If they do not the property
will be ordered sold.
While the committee favors the plan to
open the home, it |is understood that
there is a strong element in the grand
lodge opposed to it on- the ground that
the grand lodge cannot support it. In
speaking on this line today, Secretary
Walebeimer said the expenses of the
grand lodge last year were greater than
the receipts.
The income, he said, is about #17,000,
while the salaries 'of officers amounts to
about #14,000, so that the funds to sup¬
port the home would have to be raised by
assessment, aud it is held that the as¬
sessment plan would be a firebrand in
the order. There are at prescut 16,200
Masons in the state. Last year there
was a falling off of 400from the net rolls.
Atlanta, Ga.,Jan.29.—'I’hoproposition
of the Grand Lodge of Mason to take the
Confederate Soldiers' home was rejected
by the board of t rustees of the home to¬
day, when the committee of the Grand
Ledge presented their proposition, which
was substantially as follows: The Grand
Lodge proposed to take the property,
receiving a fee simple title thereto, and in
return they agreed to furnish and open
the house. They also proposed to prop¬
erly- care for an average of ten veterans a
year for the period of twenty years, Half
the house was to be set apart for the use
of veterans and the unoccupied^space was for
to be used by the board of trustees
any other veterans whom the board
might select and would maintain. The
contract was subject to the ratification
of the Grand Lodge in October next.
After thoroughly discussing the proposi¬
tion the board of’trustees decided to re
joetit and so informed the committee.
The property is now worth, at the esti¬
mate of the trustees, #50,000. At a sub
sequent meeting of the trustees, a eom
mittee was appointed to sell the property
on the tilock, or at private sale. The
proceeds of the sale will be applied either
to the purchase of small homes, about
twenty acres and a cottage, averaging
#400 per home, and these given to de¬
serving veterans in whatever section of
the state they desire to live, or it will be
distributed direct among the needy old
ex-confederates.

, Jacksonville, 1*la., Jan.28.—Miqsf _
Russell made an ascent in a balloon from
Orange Park yesterday afternoon about
5:30 o’clock, and after raising to a bight
of about 3,000 feet, both she and her air
ship disappeared, She was to have made
a descent with a parachute, but the
crowd broke up disappointed, and alt
nightlong meu and boys were out in
boats on the St. Johns river, searching
for some sign of the ballon and its pas¬
senger.
It was learned today that both were
picked up in Doctor’s lake, many, miles
from tlie scene of the ascension, about 9
o'clock last night. On Doctor’s lake is a
saw mill, the hands of which saw the par¬
achute and its burden sailing ahead of a
stiff gale as it came toward them. Some
of the negroes never saw such a thing be¬
fore and were so badly frightened that
they fell upon their knees and prayed.
The parachute struck the water 150yards
from shore, am] Miss Russell, who was on
the tender hooks of fear during the’whole
ordeal, at once screamed for help.
Several men ran to the shore and cried
out to her to hold on, as a boat was com¬
ing. The where boat, however, was a mile
a way from the parachute and aer¬
onaut had plunged into the water, and
Miss Russell was compelled to hold on
for fully an hour. When G. P. Hall pull¬
ed her out she was chilled to the marrow.
She was hastily carried to Mr. Hall’s
house and warmed up before a roaring
fire. Miss Russell arrived in town this
morning on the Manatee. She did not
bring with her the balloon. That is still
floating about the surface of Doctor's
lake, at the mercy of the waves.
Oui- Pension Bills.
The expense of {Tensions in the United
States is a burden the like of which has
not been imposed on the labor of any
other country for any single item of civil
expense in modern times. Let those who
think this statement unadvised consult
the statistics. In our proud and patriot
ic wav we talk a good deal of the burden
of royalty on the backs of the pnfortu
nate peasants and inoujiks of Europe,
but the burden of royalty is not to be
mentioned in the same breath with our
expense for pensions. According to the
’ reliable
latest and most statistics the
cost of rovalty in England is #2,875,000
a year: in Austria-Hungary #3,875,000:
in Italv. #2,858,000; in Prussia, #3,852,
000;”in IRiissia,^#!2,000,000: in Spain,
#2 000 000' in Belgium ’ #000 ’ 000' in
Denmark, #227,775; in Greece, #26,000;
the Netherlands, #250,000; in Sweden
and Norway,#575,000;in Portugal,#034,
000: in Roumania, #237,000; #240,00V, in Saxony,
#735,000; in Servia, aud in
AVurtemburg, #449,050. This list of the
monarchies of Europe foots up a total
annual expense ol #34,727,825. At the
close of the last fiscal year we had 969,-
544 pensioner^ on our rolls, and they
costus #140,7 1 2,163.78 This is
siderably more than four times the entire
annual cost of the monarchies of Europe.
It seems incredible, does it not, that the
free labor of free America has been taxed
for pensions so much more heavily than
the inoujiks and the bauers of Europe
are taxed to support World. their military mon
archies.—New York
A WEEK IN WASHINGTON.
A Weekly Letter from Our Regular

Washington; Jan. 25,1895.
Secretary Gresham will submit some
very interesting documents to Congress
in response to the resolution udopted by
the House, calling for information con¬
cerning the expenses of the Behring Se?
commission, appointed byPresideutUar

of carrying out the joint treaty between
the Fnited States, Great Britain and
Germany to maintain the government ot

Senator Jones, of Arkansas, introduced
his financial bill in the innate ^lis week
just as any ordinary bill is introduced,
although he had hoped that it might
have had the endorsement of Hi e finance
committee before it was formally brought
to the attention of the Senate. The bill
authorizes the Secretary of the Treasury
to issue in his discretion bonds at 3 per
cent up to 1500,000,000; provides that
the tax on national bank currency shall
be one fourth of one per cent, and that
they may issue currency up to the' par
value of the bonds deposited by them; al¬
so, for the unlimited coinage of silver,
the government to retain as seigniorage
the difference between the market value
of the bullion and the face value of

That market is already suffering with a
ruinous over-supply. It is a fine object

shows up the beauties of a home market
perfectly. 1’n the meantime the cattle
growers of the west are wondering if this
Congress has any intention of legislating
in the interests of the people,” The ob¬
stacle to the repeal of the differential du¬
ty is in the Senate. A bill for its repeal
has boon favorably reported to the House,
and will be passed, but it will require
strong pressure from the public to get it
through the Senate.
By a vote of 9 to 7 the Judiciary Com¬
mittee of the House adopted the resolu¬
tion censuring Judge Ricks, of Ohio, for
his method of making up his official ac¬
counts when he first became judge, in¬
stead of the impeachment resolution
which the committee had first authorized.
There will be a minority report, standing

Senator Butler, of South Carolina, is

candidate for governor of South Caro¬
lina, asking that the Senate investigate
charges of fraud which he makes against
Tillman and his associates, makes it look
as though he w.ere properly credited. Sen

MILLIONS WRITE TO HER.
Thousands of Letters Swamp a
Cross-Roads Postoffiee
Several Atlantiaus have recently receiv¬
ed letter*, among them Mr. Thomas Egg¬
leston, Mr. Fred J. Pa*ton and Mr. Charles
Adler, asking them to send used postage
stumps to a Mrs. Edna Gorman, in Kanes
villc, Ill.
Kuneeville is not on the map nor on ti
railroad, but every postal clerk, in the
country has recently heard of it. It has
juihped into universal notoriety.
Mrs. Gorman was a Miss Edna Brown.
Her husband’s sister is a cripple. Mrs.
Gorman conceived the idea of collecting
cancelled postage stamps for her sister-in
law along the line of geometrical progress¬
ion. The next day after,the inception of
the idea three inoffensive looking letters
left the Kanesville x>ostoffice addressed to
three different persons, and signed by Mrs.
Gorman’s maiden name, Edna Brown.
The letters went on to state that she
svns a cripple and desired to collect a mill¬
ion cancelled postage stamps in order to
secure treatment in a medical institute.
Each of the three persons addressed was
asked to send Miss Brown ten or more
cancelled postage stamps and to write
three letters containing similiar requests,
their com spondents to send stamps and
write other letters, and so on until the fif¬
tieth link in the chain should be forged
Those receiving letters numbered fifty
were asked not to write other letters, but
to return Hr forty-ninth letter to Edna
Brown, tlfCs ending the chain.
To appreciate what happened it must
be remembered that Kanesville is across
roads town on the prairie, nine miles
northwest of Aurora. The nearest rail¬
t
road station is Sugar Grove, five miles
south. Comprising the township there
are perhaps thirty houses and twenty
five letters a day would be a big mail.
ThsftKanesville mail Mr jent to Sugar
Grove by train, and from there is taken
to the pt.stoffice by stage twice a day.
A few days after the dauntless three
letters went forth the postmaster began
to receive a gooaHsipiy letters for Edna
Brown. I t surprised litfhjf Knowing ev¬
ery man, woman, child ainteh Hi7mHi~ii yygjg in the
tanyu^Jjpwas awgre of Miss ^
riage. Ylis surprise soon deepened into
astonishment, his astonishment into
consternation and his consternation into
despair. The letters for Edna Brown
kept increasing. They soon filled a bush¬
el basket daily. Then they filled several
baskets. It rained letters. Instead of
the usual small pouch, the Kanesville
mail required several.
Not only letters came, but boxes and
bundles of cancelled stamps from well
intending people. The stage coach be¬
came so crowded by mail bags that there
was no room for passengers. The post¬
master was obliged to hire an assistant
to help handle the stuff.
“The chain” iH still not half completed,
and an average of from 8,000 to 10,000
letters a day are received at the post
office for Miss Edua Brown, to say noth¬
ing of boxes and bundles of stamps by
mail and express. Wednesday the num¬
ber received was 17,000. Monday it
reached 25,000. The mail clerkH on the
trains are in a condition of collapse.
Some of the letters even contain money
orders sent ,by sympathetic persons.
Often whole sheets of stamps are sent
just as they came Fom the postofRce, ex*
cept with an ink line drawn through. Of
course one person cannot look over all
this mail, so it is parceled out among the
farmers’ wives, who, for the satisfaction
of reading the letters, open them and
trim the stamps for the little cripple. She
passed the 3,000,000 mark long ago,
and there seems to be no way to stop the
avalanche.
No medical institute wanted a million
cancelled stamps, or thought of such a
thing. The only one who seems to be
making anything out of the scheme is
Uncle Sam, who is receiving from #200
to #300 a day postage on the letters sent
to Edna Brown, of Kanesville, 111.
The railroad offices m the Equitaolc
have been flooded with letters on the'sub-

A Victim.
Exposition Notes.
Last Monday was a good day with the
Cotton States and International Expo¬
sition. By the same mail .came advices
of another foreign exhibit aud another
state exhibit. Col, I. W. Avery wrote
from Buenos Ayres that he had made ar¬
rangements with I)r. Hector Velasquez,
minister of foreign relations for
guay, for an exhibit from that country.
The World’s Fair exhibit from Paraguay
was presented to a Columbian Society in
Chicago, and the minister intends to ask
the loan of that material for a display at
Atlanta. He will appoint one of the
Paraguayan consuls commissioner to
take charge of the exhibit aud in this way
hopes to have a creditable representation
of that country. The same day came a
for from Mr. tYnelfcIfer," 'CVjfiflBitfsiPper
of Mines, Manufactures and Agriculture
for Arkansas, asking large space for an
exhibit from that State. The lands of
are among the richest in Amer¬
and the products are varied .and ex¬
Governor Fishhook, in hisrrteent
message, urged the legislature to make
appropriation for the advertisement
the State’s resources.
On Wednesday Inst, both houses of the
Alabama Jegislanure passed unanimous¬
ly a resolution making an appropriation
for an exhibit at the Cotton States and
Internation Exposition the special, order
for Friday and inviting President Collier
and his committee to address them on
the subject. The invitation was, of
course, accepted.
Mr. E. A. Felder, assistant to the Pres¬
ident, who has just made a Hying trip
from the Chicago office to Atlanta, re¬
ports great interest in the Cotton States
and International Exposition. Almost
every line of manufactures ofeonsequcnce
in Chicago will be represented at the Ex¬
position, and the character of exhibits
will not be inferior to those at the
World’s Fair.
No exposition ever held in the United
States has had more sympathy aadgood
offices from the railroads than the Cot¬
ton States and International Exposition
has received. Over a hundred lines and
systems are advertising the great fair,
and they are doing it with a hearty good
will that is exceedingly gratifying to the
management. With such help from the
railroads and the press, the Exposition
can hardly help being a great one. When
these advantages are at the disposal of a
wideawake and energetic management,
the result must necessarily be brilliant.
One of the most attractive features of
the Cotton States aud International Ex¬
position ill be the reproduction* of the
AVorld's Columbian Exposition in mina
ture by Mr. G. \V. Ferris, tlie builder of
the Ferris Wheel. The great World’s
Fair will be reproduced in its entirety,
complete in every detail, on a scale of
l-140th. • This makes the Manufactures
and Liberal Arts building about ten feet
long, and the whole Exposition seventy
five feet long. The material is white hol¬
ly, and the workmanship exquisite. The
electrical works will be perfectly repro¬
duced, and the smallest lights ever seen
will be used in decorating the various
buildings. Search lights will be shown
on the battle ship and on the various
buildings, the intramural railroad will be
seen with cars in motion, the whale-back
steamer will be seen arriving and depart¬
ing, and Lake Michigan will appear in
the distance. By electrical and mechan¬
ical effects, sunrise, daylight, moonrise,
and the white city by moonlight, will ap¬
pear in succession. The Minature City
is decorated with ajl the statuary and
ornaments that appeared in the original.
