I F. W. GLOVER IS DEAD TALKS OF GAINESVILLE. IN MEMORIAM. A BACK BAY TALE. KEEP YOUR EYES OPEN! Surely if the word REGULA ft)JR is not on a package tjtind. Words About the Queen City from Hon. A. W. Cozart, Hon. A. W. Cozart, who lectured at the Chautauqua here, was interviewed by the Columbus Enquirer-Sun upon his return home. He said: “Gainesville is the loveliest little city that I ever-saw. Its climate, its beau tiful scenery, its mineral springs, its cultured .people make-it the place of places for a Chautauqua, an educational center, and a summer report;- Th§ Auditorium of the Seminary and Conservatory of Music, where the Chautauqua was held, surpasses de scription. Suffice it to say that there is nothing comparable to it in the state, except “The Grand,” in Atlanta. You will get a conception of the music de partment of the Seminary when I tell you that twenty-five new pianos have just been purchased. It is worth tak ing a trip to Gainesville to hear Prof. Wallace play on that great.pipe organ, which is situated on the stage of the Auditorium. “I felt proud of our fellow-townsman, Prof. H. J. Pearce, in the.splendid work he is assisting Prof. Van. Hoose in doing for the young ladies of the state. There were over one-hundred' and thirty in the boarding department last year aud I was informed that four of Columbus young ladies, Misses Griggs, Williams,. .Harvey and Biggers, distinguished themselves A Noble Young Life Ended, Rosanna Moore was a little girl of about 14.

On Saturday, Slsfc ultimo, the noble spirit of -Mr. George Hamp ton Brice, one of Gainesville’s brightest and niost popular young men, left its frail tenement of clay aud passed peacefully, to. that bet ter world whe*e the weary are at rest.'- ' George was the eldest son of Mr, and Mrs. John Brice, and lacked a few days of reaching his Mr. Frederick William Glover of Macon, died at the Seminary, in this city, Friday evening, 6th instant, of consumption. He has been in Gainesville several mouths, coming here_ with the hope that the climate would restore his health. He has been gradually sinking, however, and his death created no surprise. Mr. Glover was one of the brightest and most promising of the younger members of the Ma con bar.- He was born in Rich land, Twiggs county, at the old Glover homestead, September 24, 1860, his parents being prominent citizens of that county, . He spent only 26th birthday when the final sum mons came.- From early boyhood -he was engaged Absolutely Pure m various occu pations' here, but about five years Ago he went to Savannah, where he accepted a position in the office in one of the leading hotels of that city.

This is the result of extensive investi gation by insanity experts on both sides The Greatest Heiress. The greatest heiress in the world is the baby Grand Dutchess Olga, daughter of the Czar and Czarina of Russia. Already she is one of the richest persons in the world and what she will inherit is beyond computation. The Czar’s will is the only law in Russia, and he has absolute control of all the money that can be extracted by taxation or other wise from his vast empire. But he has also what is called private property. This consists of the Crown domains, including more than a million square miles of cultivated lands and forests, be- noted for strict integrity of character, amiability of disposi tion and urbanity of jnanners. These lovable traits soon won for him the. confidence, esteem and good will of all with whom be had sociaLand business relations. Under the constant strain inci dent to the arduous duties of the position he held in Savannah, his health, which was never robust, gave way and about two years ago he returned to his mountain home with the hope that purer air, the tender nursing of devoted parents and kind friends, would soon re build his shattered constitution and restore to his pallid cheeks the bloom of health. But alas l a complication of lung and stomach troubles had made such inroads on his system that all that medi cal skill, assiduous and careful nursing and a genial and reinvig orating climate could do, failed to slay theTlnsiduous progress of disease that had seized with unre lenting and inexorable grasp upon a system peculiarly susceptible and easily undermined. With Christian calmness, forti tude and resignation, the subject of this brief sketch bore for over two long weary years his constant physical suffering—frequently m most acute form—with scarce a murmur ever escaping his lips. functions, where the hostess Issues “800 cards’’to the elite “400 people.” Bella hated Grace Biglow, and she could not help it. They had both attended the same fashionable school, and, as it hap pened, the previous June both girls had gone over to Harvard “class day” to at tend a spread given, by Jack Hollister, a .

It is a morbid condition of the mind, a certain sort of dementia, Often is the expression heard that a person is painfully shy. Yet in such an instance no doubt has teen raised as to the mental condition of the object of ; the remark.- Nevertheless, it is far more than probable that the individual refer red to was suffering from insanity just . as much if not more, than many per- ' 'sons who are living ont a tortured exist ence within the walls of a madhouse. - It is a well known fact that quo of the most notable symptoms of insanity is that which causes the person afflicted to shun the company of others. Loneli- .ness is an incentive to insanity. Con finement, in a solitary cell in a prison "often breeds madness. It is altogether an nnnatnral mental condition which impels a person to avoid the society of humanity. No one whose condition is pormal ever consents to such an exisfc- • ijBO?.:. A. our continually weeping. At last she reflected in her mind how to reconcile them. They were all three seated in tbe parlor. Mr. Moore was arranging the fire. When this was concluded, he threw tbe tongs from him, snatched a'book from the man tel and opened it abruptly. But after a moment’s perusal he dosed it again in a violent humor, cast a fierce glance at his trembling wife and hurriedly rose from his chair. Rosanna, deeply moved, clasped her arms about his neck as he was about to rise, and affectionately oaressed him. He could not reject her innocent coaxing, and the little g irl, thinking she had succeeded in touoh- ig his heart, took in her hands the mois tened handkerchief wherewith her mother bad been drying her weeping eyas and dried them a second time therewith; she then tenderly embraced her mother, who return ed her affectionate, caress with all a moth er’s fondness. 1 \ The parties bring now favorably dls- visitor at both to prefer Grace, in spite of all Bella qould do or say.

When this company failed he was made receiver of its assets and j* discharged his duties faithfully and acceptably. ' In 1895 Mr. Glover was admit ted to the Macon bar aud enjoyed a good practice from the begin ning. His health began to fail last February, and a short time- ago he came to Gainesville in the hope of recuperating it. He was at the .home of liis wife’s parents, surrounded by loving and devoted relatives, when the summons came and he passed peacefully siway. Mr* Glover was a true Christian gentleman, and was a consistent member of the Baptist church. The remains were carried to Ma con Saturday, where they were in-- his great speeches. He had an audi ence of about fifteen hundred people. The main part of his speech was de voted to an argument favoring the pro curement . ----- Oh, ma, the .Biglows have reaRy foiled!

Thlswas no easy matter; nri- 'thir would make thiTlrst overture, and without tbe penetration of little Rose the reconciliation would not have taken place. She took her father’s hand between her own little bands and pressed it to her bosom; she then took her mother’s hand and joined itto her father’s as it lay near her heart. Just how the insanity expert looks at shyness is shown by the following state- xnent, made by Br. G. W. Kunz of New York whose wide experience makes his opinion well worth considering: “Shyness is as much a disease as scar let fever. It is recognized as a symptom of dementia or melancholia, just as an extremely strong willed person, or one Who is what is termed unusually self assertive; is regarded by physicians as a possible subject for acute paresis. "“This shyness takes various forms, such as a sudden feeling of fatness and weakness on looking down from any extreme height. It is present when a woman persists in looking under the bed before retiring, although she knows older of two daughters, the Czar as yet having no sons. The week she was born $5,000,000 were set tled on her. This sum was in vested in British, French and other foreign securities, as the Czar, like other monarchs, is not absolutely certain of the future, and does not wish his family to be in need at any time of the necessaries of life. The imperial infant lias been inundated with costly presents from all the monarchs of the world and from the wealthy no blemen and barbarous chieftains, who rule, under the CzaT, some of the great countries in his empire. These presents alone are worth millions of dollars.- .Her bassinette is studded with precious stones and she has a doll whose dress is ornamented with priceless emeralds. Every pin usedito fasten her imperial gar ments is made of pure gold. If the Czar shall have no son it is possible that he will make this little daughter heir to the throne. In any case she will inherit a large share of his incalculable private fortune. Beside her wealth that Vanderbilt, or a Rockefeller becomes absolutely insignificant. —New York,Journal. Human pride could not resist longer—the alienated parents rose at the same moment and cordially embraced eaeh other. > From that hour Rose was the idol of them both. Six years after this Rosanna—the ugly Rosanna—was the ornament of every so ciety-to which her mother presented her. Amiable, witty and observing, her conver sation was universally courted. One summer evening tbe sun, which during the day had shed over nature an intense heat,- had just disappeared, leav ing the horizon covered with long, wide bands of red; clouds more and more dark were heaping themselves on the eastern sky; the atmosphere-was suffocating, and one would deem the„ earth was returning to tbe sun the heat she had been receiving from the latter during the day. All was heavy and weary—the air inhaled seemed, rather to snff ocate than nourish. A drowsy languor overcame every one. In a salon, whose every window .was thrown open, might be seen gliding here The Returned Klondiker. “Yes, George,” she said, as she fondly gazed upon the bearded face of the wanderer, “we hqve been very poor since you went away.’’ “We’ll change all that now, lit tle woman,” said the smiling miner. “But, here, .I’m as hun- Where is the din- course, as it was intended it should, it reached the ears of the yonng manwho was really in love with sweet Grade Big- ; lOW. ..
