OULU OCtLLA. GEORGIA. HENDERSON k HANLON, Publishers. ,\mong the forces dispatched to the American island of Guam is a brass band of teu pieoes. It is evidently Intended that civilization out there shall henceforth keep stop to the music of the Union. The cruiser Chicago is to circum¬ navigate Africa with a view to show¬ ing our flag iu the ports of that con¬ tinent. It is safe to say that the ship will be enthusiastically received wher¬ ever our language is spoken. One-half of the more than 27,003 persons committed to the county prisons of Massachusetts last year had been in the same institutions before; more than one-third of them from one to five times before, aud fifteen per seut. of them from six to fifty times belore. ______________ The feeling in England iu favor of die introduction of the metric system of weights and measures is strong, and steps are being taken to that end. The Board of Trade has been used to nduee its compulsory adoption within two years. Merchants aud business men generally throughout Great Britain favor the change, but opposi¬ tion comes from unexpected quarters. It is said that many of the scientific professors object to the metric system lor old-fogy reasons. The home-bred golfer is coming to she fore. Two or three years ago the English and Scotch that came to this uountry stood in a class by themselves- and the general opinion was that it took an older civilization, aud tradi. lions, and the atmosphere of a long past to produce a first-class golKer. Bnt that day ha3 passed. Humbly we rnt at the feet of the foreigners, and assiduously we watched their strokes and strove to do likewise. And our reward is coming. Betts beat MeDon- aldiu’97, and Smith also won from she same plaver. i TJ Hut ..1 the urea test . . L - * victory is Brooks’s winning a few days ago from the champion, Douglas, the best amateur golfer that ever came to this country. This shows that, with che , right spirit, the tj-, Pilgrims • and the ,i backwoods are as good traditions for the making of a golfer as the older civilization of Europe. The death penalty has beeu abol- ,shed , , or qualified in the following _ countries: The Argentine Republic, Belgium, Brazil, Chile, Costa Rica, Guatemala, Holland, Italy, Norway, Portugal, Russia, Switzerland (iu eight cantons) and xr Venezuela. , One ~ of the arguments of the opponents of capital punishment is that it is not a deterrent of homicide. This reason- mg is . based , , on ,, the rapid ., increase . of c that crime in the United States, but is inconclusive because nobody knows whether this increase would not be even greater if the death penalty were enforced „ , nowhere , . this .. . country, , in But as a matter of fact the number of homicides has increased iu the.United States during the last tweuty years much faster than the population. In 1880 the number of homicides in our country was 4290; in 1895, the last year for which we have seen the figures, it was 10,500. This is largely cut of proportion to the growth of population and indicates a greater disregard for human life than formerly obtained among our people, says the Atlanta Journal. A New York musician shot himself a few days ago because his ambitious eould not be realized. He was said to be a good singer, but lvis aspira¬ tions were higher than his perform- ' auees, and life seemed not to hold sufficient iu it to live for. And in Paris a centenarian has just killed himself because he was afraid he would live forever. Evolution used to kill off the weaklings and the old. Suicide was practically unknown among savages. The struggle for ex¬ istence was so hard that those who who were able to live through it were only too pleased and proud to be alive. Civilization keeps alive those whom the ordinary operations of na¬ ture would kill off. And suic-ide has sprung up as au unconscious atavistic tendency to clear the world of the un¬ fit. On the other hand, the resources of civilization have made the life of him well-endowed with the world’s goods pleasanter than ever, aud he cotnbiues with other fortunate per¬ sons to form hundred-year clubs and dou’t-worry clubs, which amount to the same thing, that ho may not die with the good. Success comes always to those who believe in printer’s ink judiciously used. Let us have your advertise¬ ment. A WOMAN’S HAND.

AV' MRS. J. NEWTON SMITH’S IIVV FAMILY TREE. RS. SMITH had % f| been a Newton, and had always 1 wished that I: ii - m she could have retained her name after mar¬ riage and done •es; away altogeth¬ er with the very common cogno¬ men of her hus¬ band, but in the busy years which came while she was housekeeper and moth¬ er cf four sturdy ohildren, it seemed to make little difference what her name was. In fact, she had all she could do to‘ answer to the name “mother.” But Mr. Smith’s business as >a grocer prospered, married, and after three only children were leaving Beatrice, a maiden of fifteen, at home, Mrs. Smith found time to attend to social duties and cultivate the ambi¬ tious of her youth. A new house, with “grounds,” was her first aspiration; and, as her found hus¬ band shared this desire, they themselves established in due time on a trolley line just far enough outside the city to be what the grocer called “unmixed.” Mrs. Smith was a woman of good taste, and used money wisely. Henee a smooth lawn, flowering shrubs and vines soon appeared around the pretty home, in addition to the great elms which had sheltered the farmhouse which had formerly occupied the site. It was while she was furnishing and beautifying at her leisure that Mrs. Smith received a letter fromBos- ton asking for facts concerning herself and her father’s family. J A certain Miss Agnes . JSewfcon xr , was the writer, and ahe in f ormed Mrs. Smith that she was compiling a “Newton book” in which the family—root, trunk and branches-was to be classified aud or* ranged. She had 111 st “discovered Mrg Smith> and henoe informod her considerable length of the impor- tance of her work aud the extent of the family circle. The names of prominent people that Miss Agnes Newton specified as in the family * conuectionn opened ^ be- fore Mra s ith a n6W worl of rela . tionship. “Why, John, it is perfectly amaz- ing!” she began at the tea-table, “I am second cousin to the member of. Congress from the first district—the Hon Dillon Newlon . aad Doctor Stark’s wife, of the Church Herald, is my first cousin; aud that rich Hemm- way of Goldham married my mother’s cousin—that makes her my second, doMtf t ft? The Newtong ‘that went West—well, she mentions judges and professors and ministers—I don’t know what all! And, John,” here a>u impressive finger was lifted, “we’re descended from the. same line as Sir Isaao Newtou> W hat do you think of that?” “H’m! let’s see. Sir Isaac descended from Eve, and both of ’em had some¬ thing to do with an apple, didn’t they?” A glance from his wife warned Mr. Smith that levity would not be tole¬ rated, and he quickly added, “I don’t care much for such things, but if they want my opinion of the Newtons, I know one that I can give an A number one recommend.” “Don’t be foolish John,” she re¬ sponded, somewhat mollified. “It really means a great deal to find that one belongs to a superior family. Father was careless about correspond¬ ing with his relatives, and they were scattered all over the country before I was old enough to know them. For the sake of the children, I’m very glad some one has had interest enough to collect the records.” Mrs. Smith had taken on new dignity since reading her letter, and now sat very erect, handling her knife and fork with an air which greatly amused her husband. He leaned back and laughed with rare enjoyment. “You’ll do, Judith. I’ll risk you with any of ’em. Too bad there isn’t a Smith tree; blit we’d need a regular banian —room for an army, you know. But aren’t you afraid these aristocrats will look down on a grocer’s wife?” “Not if they’re true Newtons,” re¬ sponded his wife, warmly. “Miss Agnes Newton writes that loyalty is a peculiar characteristic of the race. She says I will find that these new relatives are true to the last degree of kinship. Of course I am glad they all appear to be educated and wealthy —it will be such au advantage for Beatrice to know them.” Beatrice was a lively, red-cheeked girl, perfectly satisfied to be a Smith, but she dimpled becomingly in re¬ sponse to her mother’s prophecy. “I’ll have to practise my music bet¬ ter if I’m going among grand people,” she said, and then wondered why her father chuckled so absurdly. There was oae drop of bitterness in Mrs. Smith’s cup. Just ’’over the boundary wall on the north side of her beautiful home was a little cottage full of children. There were six under Then sbo. with one strange, wistful look, Drew bnclc the baud bo Idly took. And smiling hid it from his «aze, While he bowed low, and went his ways.

(Ah, little hand so white That aohod with all her love for him. —Harper’s Magazine. twelve years—bright-faced, interested rollicking boys and girls, all intensely in watching every improvement on the Smith estate. If she was out overseeing the ar¬ rangement of foliage plants in “de¬ signs” on the lawn, there was sure to be a row of smiling faces visible over the wall, the baby being held iu posi¬ tion by his oldest sister. If she went out to water the flowers she would be greeted by a cheerful “Hullo! drink!” we thought you’d better give ’em a Her pautry faced the north, and while concocting dainties for her table she would often look up to find several pairs of blue and brown eyes regard¬ ing her steadily. One glance from her was enough to bring smiles to every face, and a joyful “Hullo!” “Now, mother,let me give them some gingersDaps.” Beatrice would say, aud several times she had had the pleasure of distributing the fresh, crisp cakes to a keenly appreciative company. But Mrs. Smith frowned upon these friendly overtures; “They’ll be in the garden over everything, Beatrice. How would you like to have tliem ‘hullo’ at vo* when your young friends are out from the city?” “I wouldn’t mind. Their faces are always clean, and we’re real good friends,” “But they’re already making free with the carriage-drive, and if you pet them they’ll become nuisances.” As the summer advanced, Mrs. J. Newton Smith, as her cards were now engraved, installed a stout Swedish woman in her kitchen and gave a series of afternoon teas, and ladies who drove out to them from the city were charmed with her home and hospi¬ tality. If Sir Isaac discovered the attraction of gravitation, this far-away kinswoman knew how to exercise a social attraction toward which certain eminently respectable and desirable people gravitated. She even ventured, with a little as¬ sistance from Miss Agnes, the his¬ torian, to reveal herself to the great Doctor Stark’s wife, who was sum¬ mering at the nearest resort. When that lady returned her call, pei*haps Mrs. Smith was as happy as a woman of moderate ambition can hope to be. Mrs. Stark, in return, was delighted with her new relative, with sunny, un¬ spoiled Beatrice—whose playing was unusually poor that day—and con¬ cluded her visit with an urgent invi¬ tation for the family, to come to Phila¬ delphia at the earliest opportunity. “There, John,” Mrs. Smith said to her husband, “you must admit that it pays to have a family tree, for I never would have known my cousin, Mrs. Stark, if it had not been for the rec¬ ords. She thinks a great deal of an¬ cestry and heredity.” They nere sitting on the broad piazza, at sunset, where Mrs. Smith usually recounted her trials and triumphs. “Yes, I suppose so,” her husband responded. “The only thing that happened to mar the afternoon was while we were on the lawn. The north wall was alive with Higginses as soon as we reached the arbor, aud aotually, John—now don’t laugh!—they said, ‘Hullo!’ to Mrs. Dr. Stark.” Mr. Smith was already laughing too heartily to check himself at once, and Beatrice hid her rosy face to conoeal her merriment. “I’m sure!” ejaculated Mrs. Smith, “what you cau see that is laughable or even tolerable in those grinning young ones is a mystery to me. Some¬ thing must be done. Next year I mean to have a wall ten feet high between us.” “It’s a regular case of—what’s-his- nauie— Mordecai, over again, isn’t it?” said her husband, wiping his eyes. “And how did Mrs Stark express her horror?” After a moment’s hesitation Mrs. Smith responded, “Well, I suppose she has had to adapt herself to all sorts of people, being a minister’s wife, but I was surprised. She smiled back and said, ‘Hullo!’ I thought I should-” “But you didn’t—you never do, and I think she’s a sensible woman. Really, she’s ’way up the tree in my estimation. I shouldn’t worry about the Higginses. Their father seems a nice sort of man-r-he works in the machine shops aud we often ride out together. Had a bottle of some kind vf tonic for his wife to-night—said she was all worn out this summer.” “I should think she would be,” was the low response. The next day Mrs. Smith received another letter from Miss Agnes New¬ ton, in which she wrote, “I think I have discovered a new relative who must be living near you. Her maiden name is Higgins; she was Sarah New¬ ton, from Kansas. If I trace her cor¬ rectly she is granddaughter of James, 1, daughter of Henry, 2, and Henry, 2, was your father’s (Orlando, 4) brother. Can you help me at this point?” ^No; Mrs. J. Newton simply overwhelmed. Smith could not!

He used to hear from him about onoe in live years. That ac¬ counts for the strange reseiu—O dear! dear! I’ll never tell John. He would make life a burden. Why should Agnes Newton write mo all the disagreeable discoveries she makes?" Hiding her letter, she sat down beside the window farthest from the Higgins cottage and wrestled with her chagrin. To yield was inevitable — her conscience made that clear—but how to do so gracefully was the ques¬ tion. Like many other problems, this was unexpectedly solved, She heard the back door thrown open suddenly, and as she started to her feet a wide-eyed, panting child ap¬ peared. Smith,” she gasped, “0 Mis’ “mamma won’t speak, an’ she’s all still! Trudie says won’t yon please come over?” Mrs. Smith recognized the seoond Higgins child, seized a bottle of cam¬ phor, called Beatrice, and hurried af¬ ter her little guide. Four weeping infants met her at the door, while Trundie Was applying water to her mother’s white face. •‘Is she dead?” whispered the terri¬ fied child. “No, no, dear, only in a faint.” With quick and skilful movements Mrs. Smith applied restoratives. Very soon the weary eyes unclosed, and color came again to lip and cheek. “Why, Mrs. Smith, did they call you?” she whispered, “There! there! don’t darlings!” With the first intimation of consciousness the children had pressed forward, eager to reach her. “Don’t you worry!” commanded Mrs. Smith. “Now, children, Bea¬ trice is in the garden, and you can all go over and she will give you some cookies. I’ll stay with your mother.” Four of them filed out on tiptoes, but Trudie stayed until her mother was iu bed. Then she took the baby aud followed—a look of grave re- sponsibility on her young face. Mrs. Higgins looked wistfully at j her neighbor. “I don’t see why I gave out so, I’m sure,” she said, “but my ironing was heavy, and I’ve j been so miserable this summer. It j seemed as if I was going to die, and I didn’t care much if I did. Were you ever so wicked? But I’m sorry to trouble you; I’ll soon bo up again.” As she smiled Mrs. Smith saw the marked resemblance to her own sis¬ ter, Louise, which Beatrice had noticed. All artificial barriers fell at that in¬ stant, and leaning over the bed, Mrs. Smith almost sobbed, “You’re not wicked, and you mustn’t work so hard any more. You don’t trouble me. j I’m going to take care of you, for I’m ! your own cousin, Judith Newton. I’ve just found it out!” The pale little woman heaved a long, long sigh, lifted her arms, aud clasped them around Mrs. Smith’s neck: “Oh, I’ve known it ever since I moved here! You look enough like my father to be his own daughter, aud we knew you married a Smith. I’ve beeu so hungry to get near you, but I didn’t dare to speak first.” Tho little house was very still, and nobody listened to the low murmur of voices as the women talked on and on. That evening the stout Swedish ! woman was transferred to the Higgins i kitchen, where her broad face flowered - into smiles, since she was one of the rare mortals who prefer “a family where there are children.” Mrs. Smith told her story also that evening, and her husband wiped his eyes and cleared his throat vigorously as she described the finding of Cousin Sarah. “I won’t go back on the family tree, John, but I’ve been so wicked and puffed up over it—that’s the trouble!” she confessed. “And here at my very door was Cousin Sarah, just starving forra relative. No wonder she didn’t dare speak—oh, I can’t forgive myself! And those ohildren —there, John, you may laugh! but we must have them over here while she’s sick. Perhups you could put up swings under the elms. I’m so glad Miss Newton wrote—in time. Cousin Sarah looks so much like Louise I can’t help loving her.” John nodded. He was possessed with a variety of emotions.—Youth’s Companion. A Bibliographical Treasure. A bibhographioal treasure of sin¬ gular interest has recently found its way to Sotheby’s. It lias hitherto been supposed that there is only one copy in existence of the 1591 Quarto of the two parts of “The Troublesome Reigu of King John,” the old plays on whioh Shakespeare’s drama was founded—namely, the Capell copy now in the library of Trinity College, Cambridge. But here is a second, and in finer condition that Capell’e copy. Its sole defect is that it wants the title page to the first part, as il begins in A 2 with the verses to the Gentlemen Readers, For the rest il is in magnifioent preservation, having the headlines not shaved off, as they have been in the Capell copy, but, with one or two exceptions where they have been slightly cut into, quite in¬ tact. The result of a collation with Dr. Furnivall’s fasoimileof the Capell copy has been to show that, though the text is practically identical with Capell’s, there aro many highly in¬ teresting variants.—Saturday Review.

DESPERATE FIGHT IS THE STREET Five Mon Engage In a Desperate and Deadly Encounter. THEY WERE ALL WOUNDED Tragedy Occurs In Athens, Ala., Caused By Old Feud. The quiet city of Athens, in Lime¬ stone county, Alabama, was the scene of a terrible bloody tragedy Thursday, in which five men participated. The cause was an old feud existing between the Campbell and Yarbrough families, being near neighbors, and all prominent, educated aud well fixed people. public The fight occurred on the square, the streets being crowded with people. Charles Campbell and his brother-in-law, Jesse Surginer, were in Athens on business, and met two of the Yarbrough men, Bertram and Walter, on the tfie streets. Insulting words sprang to lips of the three men simultaneously, and they closed iu a desperate bodily encounter. Seeing the difficulty, Will Yarbrough rushed out of a near-by store, it was claimed, with peace-making made in¬ tentions, but his coming only matters worse. Seeing Will Yar¬ brough rushing to the scene, and thinking all three were attacking his brother-in-law, Surginer sprang up and began firing into.the crowd. All then jerked revolvers and a des¬ perate battle ensued. When the smoke cleared away the five men ware lying or crawling on the sidewalk, snapping their revolvers and feebly attempting to use their knives. Bert and Walter Yarbrough were soon lying in one room with their life blood ebbing fast away. Both dy- ing ga me. Will Yarbrough is desperately wounded through the lnngs, the ball that struck him ranging up toward the cerebral column, Campbell and Surginer are both seriously wounded. Surginer is in jail. During the battle one ball crashed through a plate glass window, grazing the skull of Peter Crenshaw. KIDNAPED BABY FOUND. Marion Clark Discovered In Charge of Farmer and His Wife. Marion Clark, the twenty-one months’ old child, kidnaped from her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Clark, of New York city, May 21st, was dis- covered two miles south of Sloatsburg, N. Y„ Thursday afternoon. She was found at a farmhouse of Charles You- mans and was in the custody of Mrs. Jennie Wilson, who took the baby to that place the early part of last week, Mrs. Wilson was accompanied by her husband and stated to Mrs. Youmans that she wanted board for the little girl for the summer. The Clark baby attracted people by her large blue eyes and pink com- plexion being particularly noticeable. As soon as the notices of the abduc- tion reached the neighborhood the people began to suspect that the child was Marion Clark. They felt positive of it because the child wore the , same clothes , „ as at the , time when , she was stolen. When placed under arrest Mrs. Wilson weakened and made a partial confession. The baby was then pro- duced. Marion is in good health. Arthur Ciark, the father of the ab- ducted baby, arrived at Sloatsburg Thursday evening and immediately identified the child as his lost Marion. APPROVED GOVERNOR’S COURSE. Georgia’s Chief Executive Offers a Reward For Would-Be Assaulter. A special from Atlanta, Ga., says: The reward of $250 which was offered a few days ago by Governor Candler of Georgia for the arrest of William Armstrong, the Harris county man who attempted an assault upon a ten- year-old negro girl, has been strongly commended by a number of the most promient citizens of Harris county. While the reward was offered by the governor without' being solicited by the county officials, he first com¬ municated with ordinary and sheriff of the county to learn the situation in the community before issuing the or¬ der for the reward. PHILIPPINE VOLUNTEERS To Be Reviewed At Hinneapolis and St. Paul By Pres’dent. A Washington dispatch says: All the volunteers now in the Philippines, if mustered out at San Francisco, are to be invited to mobilize at Minne¬ apolis and St. Paul. They are to be tendered a rousing welcome, made the more notable by the presence of Presi¬ dent McKinley. The president has been anxious to meet all the troops who served in the Philippines, if this were practicable, and he agreed to go to Minneapolis and St. Paul to greet the Minnesota volunteers. GENERAL HETH IS ILL. Old Confederate Warrior Said To Be Near Death’s Door. General Henry Heth, the well known confederate officer, is lying very low at his home in Washington. He has never recovered from an old attack of the grip and other complications have set in. Monday night he was a trifle more comfortable than usual. General Heth, next to General Long- street, is the oldest surviving confed¬ erate general. FLORAL TRIBUTES REJECTED. G. A. R. Committee Creates a Sensation At Columbus, Ohio. There was an unfortunate incident of Memorial Day in Columbus, O., which was a direct slight to the Con¬ federate veterans, and which has cre¬ ated a sensation iu local G. A. E. cir¬ cles. The snub consisted of the re¬ fusal of a magnificent flora! tribute ten¬ dered by the southerners, to be placed on the graves of the Union dead in Green Lawn cemetery. The tribute, in view of the events of the past year, was peculiarly appropriate, represent¬ ing the north and the south grasping the Union flag. The tender was made by ex-Confed- erates who appreciated the efforts which have been made to cement the north and south, but when the matter was laid before the general floral com¬ mittee representing the G. A. R. posts they declined to accept it. Before the matter could be brought before the general membership of the different posts and undone, the design was ac¬ cepted by the Ex-Soldiers’ and Sailors’ association, who used it in their exer¬ cises during the day. The marshal of the parade had in¬ vited the ex-confederates to partici¬ pate in the exercises of the G. A. R. and quite a number of them ap¬ peared before they learned of the snub. They withdrew immediately, but j 0 i net i the ex-soldiers and sailors, | There is great indignation among the var j oua members of the G.

Benedict, cashier of the Exchange bank of Athens, Ga., has disappeared and his friends fear that he has either lost his life by accident or has met with foul play somewhere near Greenville, S. C. To those who do not know him the first impression would be that some¬ thing was wrong with his bank affairs, but there is not the least suspicion of anything like this. As a matter of fact, the books of the bank, the cash and everything con¬ nected with it has been examined aud found to be correct, both by the state bank examiner and by President Bai¬ ley, of the bapk.
