He was one of the most eccentric members of the baronetage. For years he never crossed the threshold of the bouse in which he elected to live the life of a recluse. He passed his time almost exclusively in the room in which eventually he was found dead. The cause of his death was senile de¬ cay. There was no one with him when he died. One of the things which seemed to afford him especial delight was to pa¬ per the walls of bis garret ovor and over again with pictures cut from the various illustrated papers. A dressing gown was his chief article of attire. His menls were placed outside his room at stated intervals. He had a strong aversion to medical men, and any business had to be transacted with the baronet on one side and his interro¬ gator on the other side of the partly opened door. The rent roll of this eccentric baronet amounted to $150,000 a year, and he has left personality to the amount of $750,000.— New York Press. Try “Tix-a-Kure” for Dyspepala.

The Pews of Shakespeare’s Church. “I hear from an American corre- apondent,” says Truth, of London, “that a number of chairs with carved backs, purporting to be made from tha wood of pews in the parish church at Btratford-on-Avon, are now offered for sale at Boston, Mass. The backs of the chairs axe elaborately carved, and are surmounted by a reproduction of the Prince of Wales’ crest, and the pharacter of the construction and carv¬ ing has suggested some doubt about the authenticity of these relics, I should be sorry to express an opinion on the subject one xvay or another, but the parish church of Stratford has been restored and restored to such an axtent of late years that there can be very little left of the- original fabric left on the spot by this time, and frag¬ ment* of It are no doubt scattered all over the face of the earth. It may be that some one who knows more on the subject than I do can throw some light on the fate of the old pews.” H OME duties to many women seem more important than health. No matter how ill they feel, they drag themselves through the daily tasks and pile up trouble. This is heroic but a has to be paid.

The cowardiness of sharks la well known among men who have been much to sea In southern waters In¬ fested by man eaters. The fiercest shark will gat out of the seaway in a very great hurry If the swimmer, noticing its approach, sets up a noisy splashing. A shark is in deadly fear of any sort of living thing that splashes in the water. Among the South Sea Islands the natives never go to sea bathing alone, but always in parties of half a dozen or so, in order that they may make the greatest hub¬ bub in the water, and thus scare the sharks away. Once in a while a too ventureome swimmer among the na¬ tives foolishly detaches himsei- from his swimming party and momentarily forgets to keep up his splashing. Then there Is a swish, and the man eater comes up beneath him like a Hash and gobbles him. i fl >■ J S3 m 111 i trL An Excellent Combination.

EX-GOYERNOR NORTHEN SETS BOSTON AGOG Georgian Speaks In Joint Dsbate With a Colored Bishop On the Situation of the Negro In the South, IT WAS AN UNUSUAL ADDRESS AND AN UNUSUAL SCENE Papers of the “Hub” and the Press of New York Comment On the Affair-Boston Made To Wince. Fifteen hundred members and friends of the Congregational Club gathered in Tremont Temple at Bos¬ ton, Mass., Sunday night to listen to a most unusual discussion between ex-Governor Northen and Bishop Ben¬ jamin W. Arnett on “The Present Sit¬ uation as to the Colored People of the South.” It is doubtful if such a scene was ever witnessed before on any platform in this country. The gray-haired ex¬ governor pleaded the cause of “the white man’s burden” in the section from which he came, while the vener¬ able colored bishop pleaded the cause of “the black man’s bnrden.” Both were unable to say all they in¬ tended to, owing to lack of time. Ex- Governor Northern delivered only about one-half of his carefully prepar¬ ed speech, and even then occupied two hours, leaving barely twenty min¬ utes to the bishop in which to reply. In the beginning of his speech ex- Governor Northern said: “I not here 4 to apologize , for the .. am south. The south has her ills, her sms and her crimes What section has not? The south has had and w, 11 have violent shocks to her civilization, Vvhat section has not? The south has had her sorrows, God knows they have been grievous and hard to be en- dured. “Whenever the south finds an government without sm; a people per- feet in aw and perfect in its enforce- ment, the south will do its respectiul obeisance and ask to be led into its broader civilization and its better power. ’Till then, and not ’till then, we shall stand abreast of all other sections, claiming as broad a civiliza- tion as any, and challenging those without sin to cast the first stone at US.” Boston Was Stirred. Monday’s dispatches states that th people of Boston are showing deep in¬ terest in the address of former Gov¬ ernor Northen, and it is the general verdict that the citizens have never be f 0 re had such an exhaustive state- meut of the attitude of the south on tbe „ egro .

If that is the idea he desires to convey I stamp it as false. I had occasion to visit the south a short time since and I truth- fnlly say that the black man has more ground for complaint on this score than the southern white man.” Bev. Dr. Edward A. Horton said: “I think that ex-Governor Northen lias greatly exaggerated the true sen¬ timent in the south. I believe, how¬ ever, that the judges and these true white citizens of the south daplore the lynching methods.” PLAN DRAWN BY HAY. Author of Written Proposition For Government of Philippines.

ATLANTA GETS ASSEMBLY. Presbyterians To Hold Next Annual Convention At Georgia’s Capita!. The general assembly of the Presby¬ terian church in session at Richmond decided by a vote of 94 to 83 to meet next year in Atlanta. The matter aroused great interest in the assembly, and the fight between Atlanta and Marstan, Mo., was quite spirited. ably The claims of the former were set forth by Rev. Drs. Bull and Rice. Press Comment. In commenting on the speech the Boston Journal says: “The case of the negro nsver lacks recognition in Bos¬ ton and in Massachusetts and it was well that the Congregational olnb, lis- tening Sunday night to the speech of ' Ex-Governor _ ^ Northen, T of . r* Georg.a . on the lyncnmg evil, heard the other side. For there are emphatically two sides to this question. Nothing could be more unjust and unfortunate than indiscriminate criticism of the south for a form of lawlessness which its least and soundest public sentiment deplores as profoundly as lhe north does. To a very large degiee Ex- Governor Northen was justified in his complaint last night that the policy of the press of the north in condemning simply the lynching* while they main- tam an ominous and painful silence about the crimes that provoke them, is incendiary in the extreme, as it en- courages negroes to a repetition “Besides the long list of political m^Rlers, there are scores °f instates , „f the lynching of black men for theft 0 r for using profane language con- strued as disrespec.tiul There are not lacking examples of the s aying of j negroes because they were obnoxious 0 n general principles. In so far as ex-Governor Northen s speech iails to \ j meet this point, it fails of its complete purpose. Nevertheless, it is fortunate for a.l concerned that he has | here and has spoken. He has given us the southern side of this acute ; question, and say what it will we must never forget that the whole southern j people are our friends and brethren born of our bone and flesh. We have no right to chide them in a Pharisaical spirit, and we can accomplish nothing by attempting it. The problem which they have is a terribly grave one, and they deserve not our condemnation, but our sympathetic co-operation, and they must have it.” Made 'Boston Wince. Special dispatches from New York say that ex-Governor Northen made Boston wince in his speech before the Congressional club in Tremont Tem¬ ple. He lashed the negro sympathizers well, and practically pronounced “Un¬ cle Tom’s Cabin” a tissue of lies. The New’ York Press of Monday morning, the most anti-southern paper published anywhere in the north, has this to say on Governor Northen’s speech: “The importance of the address de¬ livered in Boston was doubly signifi¬ cant. That city was the parent of the anti-slavery agitation. It was in New England that the fires against the practice w r ere fanned into white heat by Harriet Beecher Stowe’s book,‘Un- j cle Tom’s Cabin.’ It was there that William Loyd Garrison, Wendell Phil- i lips aud others flrst made the fight, which eventually resulted in civil war. : Boston, a typical northern city, always j has been the center of agitation in fa- vor of the negro, : ‘Since the burning of Sam Hose at tests and condemnations of the south, and Georgia in particular. Many of the resolutions and speeches have been as intemperate as the wildest imagina- tions of those in the south. Therefore the speech of ex-Governor Northen answering these criticisms was so sig- nificant that it attracted the attention of all advanced thinkers. “Some of the points made by the southern speaker iu his augumenta- tive and impassioned speech caused his hearers to wince. Critical Boston does not like to be criticised, and when the speaker practically said that ‘Uncle Tom’s Cabin’ was a lie, made out of the whole cloth, there was sad- ness and mutterings, for Mrs. Stowe is one of the idols of the Puritan •i tt I LYNCHING IN MEXICO. | A Posse Hanged Three Negroes and Shot Four Flore.

The greatest day in the history of Port Tampa, Fla., was that of the celebration of Queen Victoria’s eigh¬ tieth birthday Wednesday. The shipping in the harbor was gay j with its dressing of flags aud pennants and throughout the town was a liberal ! display of flags, ‘"bunting and floral (decorations. The flags of the two nations taking part in the ceremonies, the British and the American, were floated from every point of vantage. The most striking feature of the dec¬ oration was a triumphal arch, display¬ ing the British lion and the American eagle. Iu one paw the lion grasped and American flag and in one claw the eagle waved the British colors, the entire arch being twined with Ameri¬ can, British and German flags. The most dramatic incident of the occasion was the unveiling of a large portrait of Queen Victoria. The por¬ trait was draped in the flags of the two countries.

Lieutenant S -utberland, in charge of the naval militia, has received a preliminary report on the work done by the Georgia naval militia during the recent cruise of the Prairie, which inaugurated the scheme of summer cruises along the coast. It shows that the work of the re¬ serves was particularly good, in view of the fact that they had never before been to sea or had the use of a govern¬ ment ship. That their gunnery was good is shown by their smashing one of the targets. NASHVILLE GETS RELIC. Captured Spanish Gun Is Loaned Tennessee’s Capital.

At Windsor, where a general holiday was observed, the town was decorated with flags and the church bells were rung at 7 o’clock in the morning. The weather cleared at about 11 o’clock and a serenade by the Windsor and Eton Amateur Choral Societies was given in tbe grand quadrangle of Windsor castle. The sun then shone brilliantly. The serenade was listened to by the queen and the members of the royal family.

Behind the cadets were drawn up the rest of the Eton boys and the military knights of Windsor. The mayor and corporation of Windsor, in their full robes of office, and the boroug magis¬ trates were also present. The scene was extremely pictu¬ resque. ,Thev all sang the national anthem and then the choir gave the program. Finally the Eton boys gave three lusty cheers in honor of her ma¬ jesty. looking be in The queen herself, to excellent health, came forward and bowed repeatedly. Sir Walter Parrott and the mayor of Windsor were intro¬ duced to the queen and handed her a beautiful floral harp. Her majesty afterwards knighted the mayor, J. T. Soundrv. Decorations Were Profuse.
