s ne always said just what she
iiv thought and felt.
U iMs but natural that a woman so
cl should elicit much admiration
g therefore, as the years slipped
v! nclithily but quickly, people began
In marvel that as yet Miss Elwyn had
I7t s.cn fit to attach some suitor for
11 ‘one summer’s evening when the air
~ impregnated with the odor of
7;: v June roses and the stars hung
Lie and low and clear in the heav
with "something of human ten
d ness in their lambant regard, Miss
t "vn was seen walking in the star
nlht with a tall broad-shouldered man
i' they passed the light of a street
f,,m the young man was identified
bv a’ curious female neighbor to be
L; other than Mr. Philip Maber. a
S dsome blonde with pale complexion
7 i courteous bearing. In business cir
,i. ~ be was known as an up-to-date
Ltler. and as reward for his energy.
~Lk and grit, a prospective fortune
ot colossal dimensions was looming up
1 Miss Elwyn leaned rather clinglng
lv upon the arm of the tall cavaHer,
anl seemed as contented as the bitds
chirping in the trees overhead.
Later thev sauntered into the Bis
m' w k garden,” and when seated there
Long hundreds of other young cou
nts listened passively to the strains
,• music, deadened somewhat by the
“Lter of dishes, the gayety of laugh
ter and talk, and the hurrying to and
f ro ~f , lumsv and officious waiters.
After a half hour Philip, who had
pied to summon courage for a su
-1 ne effort by ordering two Manhat
tan's" with bewildering quickness of
succession and hatj consumed both in a
fit of absent-mindedness, said, tremu
iously: "I am thinking of spending the
summer months among the mountains
if Colorado. 1 shall ride up the moun
lain paths on horseback. Now, you love
mountain scenery, and adore horseback
riding so, how should you like to ac
company me?” , .
At first Miss Elwyn looked startled,
then turned suddenly pale and seemed
downcast. While he was picturing his
f ntemplates trip, there had been a de
li mV' 'glow bt joy trhhsfllSlng her up
liftKfl face, for a sojourn in the moun
tains had always meant an unspeaka
ble exhilaration to her, and when
perched on a good steed, prancing
through the clear mountain air, it
seemed that her whole being expand
ed. Her intellectual and emotional na
ture unfolded as it were from its
swathings of culture, and became open
anl free, like fresh petals of flowers
k:r?ed into life by the warm sunshine.
Rut when the picture ended by a
precipitate proposal for her to share
lids pleasure, she descended suddenly
from her ideal sojourn to a proffered
reality. And the quickness of the des
cent made her dizzy.
9 She wished decidedly that he was but
■‘■sting, that they might just drift
■li'ing a little longer as good friends.
B"r now that a closer tie was offered
Bier, she realized with the force of a
its utter impossibility.
9 For to Miss Elwyn life was a serious
Biffaii-, a grand and dignified but tor
■unus pathway through progress to a
■ 11 >r and loftier goal, and marriage
■)ther a handicap or a help to the de
■■b'd end. And in truth, though our
■u-roine was possessed of much com
■n"n sense, and otherwise had none of
■he frivolous foibles of latter day fem
■mne creatures of fiction, she did unde
■iiably entertain visions of an “ideal.”
i Philip Maher had certain characteris
| which were cherished in her men
s'" picture of what a man should be—
■physically and morally he was almost
■the incornatinn of her preconceived no
|tions. But, mentally? Was he her su
■i "dor in mental vigor, nay, even her
■equal ?
I Fhe did not stop now to reason this
■ out, as one would Juggle with a prob-
Jiem in trigonometry, but she felt It all
■ ln a ‘luick, intuitive woman’s fashion.
■ • 1 irceiy a moment had passed since
■ne spoke, and he was watching her
■ Visituiiy an( j hanging upon the ex-
I I answer. She answered at length
■ ) th an attempt at playfulness: “Oh,
■ ' 1 lo love the mountains and horse
■ k i. ,nd trips; and we can take that
■ lr, i in our imaginations with perfect
■ propriety. I n fact, it will be an ideal
|jouii„-y. tor there will be no rude

yourself may some day develop into his
Tikeness. But now, to be frank with
you, you are still yourself—a splendid
friend ‘to have,' and.” she added, try
ing to be merry, “ ‘to hold.’ ”
Philip Maber, however, was just the
man of all men who refused to be held
by any such unsatisfactory and unflat
tering claims as the bonds of cold
friendship. What he wanted in every
day terminology was a wife, an at
tractive, clever wife, perhaps, but pal
pitating with warmth and affection.
What he never dreamed of wanting,
however, was a poetical chimera of a
woman with flimsy, impractical no
tions at bottom, and liable to a sud
den overflow.
Thus it developed that these two
people drifted apart. Miss Elwyn’s girl
friends were mildly sympathetic, think
ing it too bad that after Philip Ma
her’s marked attentions no more in
teresting denouement had transpired.
A few years passed and Miss Elwyn
was again seated in the “Bismarck
garden,” this time in the society of one
of the most promising physicians in
Chicago.
Neither her winsome smile nor her
personal charm had attracted him. He
was the worshipper of her mind, and
the humbler slave, who did homage to
the brilliancy of her wit. So elevated
and impersonal was his attraction that
he had once told her: “Were you ten
years older, and as ugly as night, I
should still be your bondsman. For it
is your spirit, your soul I reverence.”
To-night he asked her to share his
life, live his ideals, and help him carve
his future.
And again she hesitated. But this
time she was almost ashamed of her
self. For here was at length a man
who approximated her ideal more close
ly than any other she had ever met.
That is, in regard to the breadth of his
nentality, the cleanness and purity of
his soul.
But, physically, this man was decid
edly wanting; for he was puny and
sallow and, save for a lofty brow and
intellectual air, hopelessly insignificant
in appearance.
'Tis true she had read somewhere of
late words to this effect; ‘‘Man may be
considered as a body with a soul, but
it bespeaks a much higher stage of
evolution when we can consider him as
a soul with a body wrapped about it.”
At the time Miss Elwyn had approv
ed of those words; she was thrilled
with their spiritual significance, but
now, alas, she felt keenly that this
conception did not tally with her own
ideal. Body was not subsidiary to soul.
Each were equally important compo
nents of man.
For the heroes of fictions who had
unconsciously, perhaps, interested her
most were tall, brawny men, with vig
orous bodies as well as vigorous
brains. The character Felix Holt, one
of George Eliot’s best creations, in
Miss Elwyn's opinion, had inspired her
greatest admiration and satisfied her
every demand.
“Yes, a splendid, heroic soul en
wrapped in a strong, powerful frame.”
Why should she not expect to meet
such a personality in real life?
Thus, upon the firm rock of her ideal
was the craft with her life's hopes
wrecked.
For the young physician and she
also drifted apart.
In these latter days Marion Elwyn
is often seen walking through the
slums of the city, and many are the
noble deeds she administers to the
lowly. Indeed she is fairly idolized by
every dirty little ragamuffin of those
quarters. She is a veritable goddess to
them as she walks through their
streets and back alleys, bringing words
of cheer into their sordid lives.
Still some people have noted a cer
tain sadness seated upon her pure and
noble brow; the expression, as it were,
of an unsatisfied yearning.
One buxom dame, the mother of a
group of happy children, who had
tcatcheti Mdrrion Elwyn's career at
first with interest, said: “I have no
patience with women like Marion El
wyn. If she had only had one drop of
common sense she would have loved
some deserving man, rather than
waste her affections on a lot of dirty
urchins. Anyway, I should like to
know why a girl, if sensible, will not
love and marry first and then turn
philanthropic.”
JAIL DELIVERY AT M’RAE.
Hugs Were so Tired Tliey Would Not
Chase the Fngitlves.
Mcßae, Ga„ Aug. 2.—Two negroes,
Jim Brown and Charlie Jackson, es
caped from the county jail here yester
day afternoon. They got out by tear
ing up the irop floor of the inner cor
ridor, which was rotten from long use,
and out of the cell. They managed
to get the brick out from under a
window sill and then made their es
cape unnoticed. One prisoner, Porter
Strong, refused to leave the jail, and
gave the alarm soon after the others
made their escape.
Jailor McDuffie had the dogs in the
woods practicing them at the time of
the escape, and when they reached the
iail they were so tired they would not
trail. [

* CAPT. S. J. BELL DEAD.
One of Waynesboro's Most Prom
inent rilisens Suddenly Stricken.
Waynesboro, Ga., Aug. 2.—Capt. Seab
J. Bell died at his home in this city
about 5 o’clock this afternoon. He had
been 111 since last March, but was
thought to be Improving. He was
dressed and prepared for a buggy ride
when death claimed him. He was
about 52 years of age and was a gal
lant soldier in the Third Georgia Reg
iment ln the war between the states,
having lost a leg in the service. He
enlisted as a private, but was gradu
ally advanced by promotion until he
became captain. He has a large con
course of friends all over Georgia, who
will be sorry to learn of his death. His
remains will be interred at the old
Church Cemetery to-morrow evening.
WORKMEN’S BAD FALL.
Two Precipitated From Parapet
Wall. Oae Will Probably Die.
Columbia, S. C., Aug. 2.—William
Parker was fatally hurt and Thomas
Lane sustained a compound fracture
of the thigh as the result of the slip
ping of the iron hook oft a brick para
pet of a Main street store. The men
were negro painters, working on a
swinging scaffold. When the hook slip
ped they were precipitated thirty feet
to the concrete pavement. Lane's fall
was somewhat broken by hitting on a
projection from the wall. Besides the
compound fracture of his leg he was
otherwise cut and bruised, but took the
matter very coolly and lit a cigarette.
It was different with Parker. He
turned over and struck squarely on the
top of the head, crushing the skull. The
skull was trepanned, but the man died
this afternoon.
A MYSTERIOUS CRIME.
Mutilated Body of a Negro Boy
Found Near Chastain.
Thomasville, Ga., Aug. 2.—A negro
boy about 16 years old, dressed in knee
pants and a red waist, was found dead
in the Ochlockonee river, about one
mile below Chastain, yesterday after
non by two fishermen. The coroner
was notified and he held an inquest
this morning. The body was in a state
of decay; had two bullet .holes in the
head and two in the hips. It was
badly bruised and terribly mutilated.
The verdict was death at unknown
hands, and that it was murder. Wit
nesses at the inquest developed the
fact that such a boy was seen on the
highway near Chastain last Friday.
One witness testified to having met a
boy in the road near that place on
Friday. The boy was excited and in a
hurry, saying he was going to Thom
asville. A litle behind the boy, this
witness met an unknown white man
on a bicycle going in the same direc
tion as the boy. ■ The man had a
Winchester strapped to his back. At
a farm house some- children were ask
ed by this man if they had seen a ne
gro boy pass.
SWUNG INTO ETERNITY.
Two Murderer. at St. Augustine Pay
Penalty for Crime.
St. Augustine, Fla., Aug. 2.—A large
crowd assembled'at the jail yard this
morning to witness the execution of
James Kirby and. Robert Lee, who were
condemned to die for the murder of Ju
lius Eskew last April. Lee was found
guilty of being an accessory in the
crime, but when he was on the gallows
to-day he protested that he was inno
cent.
The trap was sprung at 10:10 o'clock,
and Kirby's neck was broken by the
fall, while Lee struggled for life for
about fifteen minutes and died from
strangulation. The men dangled from
the ends of the rope for thirty min
utes before their bodies were cut down.
The best of order prevailed.

Charleston. S. C., Aug. 2.—Dr. Henry
B. Horlbeek, at the time of his death
and for many years health officer of
this port, died here yesterday. He was
a Confederate surgeon of ability, an
ex-president of the American Medical
Association, and an-*minent authority
on yellow fever. His body, according
to his direction, will be cremated, the
third instance of the kind ln the his

FINALLY KILLED HER.
CMiarles Cannon Kills His Wife on
file Second Attempt.
Lyons, Ga., Aug. 2.—About two
months ago the readers of the Morning
News will remember of seeing an ac
count from this place of a negro named
Charles Cannon cutting his wife to
pieces with a razor. After she got well,
which looked almost impossible, she
went to live him again.
Yesterday, oa the place of Frank
Clark, about ten miles from here, he
shot and killed her. For what cause
your correspondent has not been able
to learn. The sheriff and dogs were
sent for immediately, but it is not
known at this time whether the negro
has been captured.

Atlanta, Ga., Aug. 2.—A number of
tax payers have decided to bring suit
against the Atlanta Railway and Pow

in the name of the county, for work
done by the county convicts in grading
and paving the lines of this system
outside of the city limits, for which
nothing has ever been paid the county.
A well known firm of lawyers has been
consulted and has advised these citi
zens that the county can recover for
the work.
LAWYER TOOK POISON.
Prominent Athens Attorney Near
Death—Snlaidnl Intent or Accident.
Athens, Ga.. Aug. 2.—C01. R. M. Hig
gins, a young lawyer of this city, was
found in his room this afternoon by his
wife, in an unconscious condition. He
was suffering from congestive apoplexy
and an overdose of laudanum, a two
ounce bottle of that drug being found
empty by his bedside. Physicians can
not say whether or not it was suicidal
intent, as it may have been taken to
ease the pain caused by the apopletic
stroke which was evidently gradual
and not sudden. There is practically
no chance for his recovery.

UUEAKING IN A NEW PIPE.
Smokers’ “Stunts” Described by on
Experienced Smoker.
From the International Magazine.
It may be fairly inferred that pipe
smoking is a subject which interests a
considerable public, since the daily pa
pers tell us every now and then what
kings and emperors and other poten
tates are addicted to the pipe. We be
lieve it is more to the purpose, however,
to invite from pipe smokers an inter
change of experiences, to the end that
the best methods may be known to all.
One may buy books on “How to Do"
this or that, but so far as we know
none can be had on “How to Smoke.”
Of the several ways in which to
bacco is used the original one of smok
ing it in a pipe is undoubtedly the
least harmful. If it is not begun too
early in life, nor carried to an excess,
it is, we think, difficult to prove that
pipe smoking is injurious in any degree
whatever. The best pipe is made of
brier root, with a short and straight,
or very silghtly curved, stem. The
mouthpiece should be amber or ehoniz
ed gutta-percha. Such a pipe is easy
to hold in the mouth and does not
interfere with reading.
When breaking in anew pipe it
should be filled with cold water for a
moment or two before filling and
lighting. This should be repeated for
a half-dozen or more times in order
that the char shall begin to form with
out really burning the wood. It is not
necessary or desirable to dry out the
bowl before filling, but merely to turn
out the water. Another point about the
treatment of a new' pipe Is not to smoke
up all the tobacco until it is some
what seasoned. The weakest part of
the pipe is the bottom of the bowl and
many smokers make a practice of al
ways leaving a pinch or so of tobacco
unburned in it.
When char begins to make the bowl
Of the pipe appreciably small it should
be cut out. If this is not done the dif
ference in the contraction and expan
sion of char and of wood will cause the
bowl to split open. But care must be
taken in cutting away the char not to
remove it all. When it is cut too thin
the wood will burn and make the fact
known in extreme cases by frequent
crackling sounds. In such instances the
breaking-in process should be resorted
to again.
A long brad awl of medium size is
the best implement with which to clean
out the wooden part of a pipestem.
When away from home a bit of steel
wire of the size used in making bicycle
wheels will answer very well. It can
be conveniently carried in a pencil case
alongside of a pencil. A straightened
hairpin will generally do in default of
anything better.
But the great point of all in pipe
smoking is to learn to smoke slowly.
When this habit is acquired the full
flavor of the tobacco will always be
enjoyed, every smoke will he a cool
one and tongue-burning will be un
known. It is, however, very hard for
nervous people to smoke slowly. We
know of cases where smokers have
tried for a score of years to check
their smoking speed without success.
They probably did not begin to make
the effort early enough in their smok
ing career. With good tobacco and a
root pipe the slow smoker attains a
degree of pleasurable enjoyment in
smoking of which the rapid smoker
has not an inkling.
Perhaps all srildkers do not know
that it makes no difference in the flavor
of pipe tobacco how many times a pipe
goes out. A cigar which is allowed to
go out once has its flavor ruined and
is almost appreciably termed a butt. A
pipe, however, tastes, if anything, bet
ter for going out.
Fastidious smokers always have at
least two pipes at hand and never re
fill one until it has entirely cooled
off. This is a help toward smoking
and reasonable life in pipe. A good
test by which to tell if you are smoking
too fast it to hold the bowl in your
hand. If it is too hot to do so, then you
may know that your speed is too great.
SAID ••GOO-GOO” TO BABY,
And Then Dislocated Her Jaw—A
Oncer Mishap.
From the New York World.
An admiring circle of neighbors sat
around Mrs. Ellen Regan of No. 8
Third street, Clifton Park, Weehaw
ken, yesterday as she trotted her in
fant daughter on her knee and tried
by “baby talk" to still the cries of
the cherub.
But baby yelled still louder. Mrs. Re
gan stopped, smothered the little one's
faces with kisses, and, holding her at
arm's length, began again:
“Does she want a sugar plum? Who
Is this that lights the wigwam? We
will make her laugh! Goo goo!”
“Oh, what a little dear!” exclaimed
the neighbors in chorus.
She's her mother's cunning little pet.
“Goo goo!” said Mrs. Reagan.
Then she suddenly stopped, her
mouth wide open and her chin fallen
and Immovable. She stared helplessly
around at her friends, and then put
the baby violently upon the floor and
seized her Jaw. It would not move. She
tried to speak, to explain, but could
not.
Then, with her tongue moving help
lessly and making a gurgling sound in
her throat, she started from the house.
One of the neighbors picked up the
now laughing Infant and followed,
while other neighbors brought up the
rear. Mrs. Regan rushed into the
Broadway Pharmacy and made mute
gestures at Harry Gray Ektns, the
proprietor.
“Why, her Jaw is out of joint!” he
exclaimed, and telephoned for Dr.
Walsoherd. He came and. tapping her
solidly upon the point of the chin,
pushed the Jaw hack into place. Mrs.
Regan moved her jaw comfortably
again, and said, as she took up the
baby. “When I talk to you again I
will speak Untted States. No more
baby talk for me!”
‘•IS DINNER READY I”
The Question Asked by a Man Sap
to Be l)end.
From the New York Herald.
Lancaster, N. H.. July 30 —Supposed
to be 'dead and about to be embalmed.
Dr. Nelson Call, of Giuldhall, Vt„ sur
prised the undertakers by sitting up
and asking if it was not nearly time
for dinner.
Dr. Call was driving a spirited horse
on the New Hampshire side of the
river. The animal became frightened
at a. railroad crossing and ran away,
hurling the vehicle Into a ditch and
throwing the doctor out. Passersby
picked him up and a physician was
called In and pronounced him dead,
saying his neck was broken.
The undertaker and embalmer were

in the midst of an argument over the
embalming tools, yesterday noon, when
the supposed corpse sat up and, lean
ing on his elbows, asked about dinner.
There is no doubt that the doctor was
rendered insensible, as the last thing
he remembers Is being thrown out of
his carriage. But the medical men
cannot understand how the signs of life
could have been absent when he was
examined.
Ed. Kelly Wanted to Be Taller.
From the New York Press.
One of Edwa. and Kelly’s aversions was
the silk hat. One of his ambitions was
to appear as tall as his wife. Ambi
tion always overcame aversion on Sun
days when the couple walked to church
together. Then you might see “Eddie,”
as he was generally called, wearing the
tallest silk hat that could be bought,
yet even then the crown hardly reach
ed to Mrs. Kelly's chin. The Commo
dore was erect and of solid flesh, look
ing as hard as nails, as the phrase
goes. A glance at his splendid
physique would convince you that no
cold could seriously affect him. But
it seems that these sturdy-looking men
are the ones who go suddenly and with
out warning.
