The Lowliest Flower.
Nay, not too low!
Pale, tender flower, half hidden in the grass;
The sun and dew, and kindly wind's that
blow
Will find yon as they pass.
Nay. not too low!
Pure, humble life, whose wayside graces
moot
Few friendly eyes. God's watchful angels
know
How fair you are —how sweet!
Madeline S. Bridges, in Ladies’ Home Journal.
A Few Dots on the World’s Fair.
There is something very pleasant in the
thought that one has accomplished what had
been anticipated as ;! difficult job, success
fully and without tl.e least trouble, and only
unalloyed pleasure the result. Such has been
niy experience, having jt-st returned fittn a
most delightful visit of several weeks to the
groat world's fair. Not a ripple to disturb
our sereni y. not a detention or accident of
any sort, but pleasant, successful tnp from
beginning to end. Leaving Atlanta at 8
o’clock p. ill. there was nothing to do but
seek our sleeping berth and prepare for a
goad nighi’s rest. Seven o'clock In the
morning found us a’ Nashville, whore we
had a breakfast, which., by the way, adds
greatly to one's enjoyment on a long jour
ney. Nothing of much interest to bo seen
in Tennessee, but when we found ourselves
in Kentucky there was much to be seen
that differed from the other states through
which wo had been passing. The fields of
lovely blue grass dotted here and there by
grand old shade trees, under whose spread
ing branches were many cows taking refuge
from the hot sun. was indeed picturesque,
and there is nothing more beautiful to be
hold or more restful to the eyes than the
farms of Kentucky and its noted blue
There wort* also fields of splendid corn

which were passing crowds of men, women
and children engaged in the weary, and [
should imagine horridly disagreeable work
of picking off worms.
Al through Kentucky, in every field
were ponds of water. These were made by
digging out holes, and once filled the waer
remains. Sometimes a green scum arises on
these ponds, they are then scraped out ami

streams and a gr-at scarcity of water in

To Keep StoeUtng* Whole.
From The New York World.
Here is a case where the proverbial
“stitch in time” saves a great many more
than “nine.”- Take your stockings when
they are new and before putting them on,
“run” them with soft darning cotton
throughout the entire length of the heel,
toe and sole. You need not run them
closely, nor must you draw the thread
tight.
When you wear the stockings you will
find that the slender reinforcement is suf
ficient to keep the stockings from wearing
in holes. Strengthened in this way, your
hose will remain intact to un honorable and
respectable old age.

Archbishop Corrigan Addressed the Catho
lic Convention at Chicago.
Chicago, September 6. —Archbishop Cor
rigan, of New York, was the distinguished
guest at the Caholic congress
today and upon his arrival
during the morning session, he was
tendered a spontaneous ovation. He made
his way from the entranee through the
crowded hall to the platform ami with the
manner of a finished orator, thanked his
hearers tor the hearty reception they had
given him.
The archbishop, with the remark that the
time of the congress might be better utilized
in the hearing of valuable papers than in
listening to a speech from him, took occa
sion to say a few words on the sublime
faith which upheld Columbus through all
the trials that preceded his discovery of
America. Columbus was a religious enthu
siast of the best sort. It was this religious
enthusiasm, he said, which enabled him to
holds his own when all the world looked
coldly on his great: project, and
it was this in the end which
had enabled him to triumph over
every obstacle, lie thought, a well tie
served tribute should also be paid.
“Queen Isabella,” of Spain, whose religions
scale, in a large measure, insured the suc
cess of the discoverer's enterprise. Al
though a woman, she parted with things
a woman generally most dearly prizes her
jewels—to further the scheme of the great
explorer. The archbishop's brief address
was liberally applauded.
StriUes Di»cuwed.
Some time was consumed iu receiving
the reports of the committees, after which
the reading of papers on the school ques
tion was continued. Colonel lv. Al. Doug
lass, of Greensboro, N. C., spoke ot trade
combinations, strikes and arbitration. It
was the opinion of Colonel Douglass that
strikes must be finally regarded as the sol
emn protest of the imlitidual against
wrongs for which he feels that the law pre
sents no adequate relief. He did not con
sider that corporations should be de
nounced. but fictitious capital was a fraud
upon the investing public and said tiiat it
furnished the strongest inducement, and
most plausible excuse for oppression and
extortion. Rates were raised so as to ab
sorb the profit of legitimate industries,
while wages were cut down to the point ot
starvation. He had no sympathy with the
red-handed rioter and be should be prompt
ly suppressed.
He dwelt at some length on the evasion
of taxes by the people, especially by cor
porations, and bodies who make false le
turns to the assessment bureaus.
Frank J. Sheridan, ot Dubuque lowa
spoke upon the same subject as Colonel
Douglass.
They Left, the Hall.
Chicago. September 7.—A tremendous sen
sation wis created in the Catholic congress
yesterday when the paper written by M J.
Elder of New Orleans, was read. Mr. Elder
declared the church occupied an Inferior posi
tion tn tiie country, drawing its support from
the hoodlum element, day laborers and ser
vant girls, and that none of the great men of
the tuition were Catholics. The Jews and
nrotestants wore in tiie ascendant. Mr. El
der declared that lie had no heart for bun
combe and taffy about the phenom mil growth
and strength of Catholieism. 1 wo-tlnrds of
the audience left the hall before the paper was
finished.

Chicago. September B.—The next to tiie last
day of tiie Catholic congress was given up to
the discussion of CafJlollc education, papers
being presented by many of the most promi

most interesting was that prepared! by Brother
Aznrias. of Manhattan college, whose death
occurred some months since. Right Itev.
John J. Keane, rector of the Catholic uni
versity of America, delivered the opening ad

that Its object was to prepare men for the
three great studies —nature, man and God.
Maurice Francis Egan, of the University of
Notre Dome. Ind., discussed the "Needs of
Catholic Colleges,” and Right Rev. John T.
Murphy, of the Holy Ghost college, of Pitts
burg, talked about “Catholic High Schools.”
The session concluded witn an interesting

Fenton Caused an Uproar.
Chicago, September V.— d’oll'tios made its
appearance iu tiie Cathode congress today,
amt iu five minutes the twill was in an up
roar. Irish polities occasioned the trouble,
but all ended satisfactorily. Cardinal Gib
bons bad made the cl-osing address of the
congress, but before Chairman O'Brien could
deciare it adjourned Mr. Fenton, of Kansas,
began to speak on the Irish question. There
were hisses in various parts of the hall and
cries of “Ouit of order!” hut he persisted
and resented the rcisoluition sympathizing
with the Irish and referring to Gladstone’s
home rule b!il.
Finally Judge Moran suggested to the
chairman that the matter had been put aside
by the committee on resolutions because it
■was political, and if brought up now, should
'include all nationalities.
Mr. Fenton said that he would accept an
amendment to thalt effect.
The resolution was amended by including
among those to whom sympathy bo extended,
the Poles, the Jewis in Russia and “all the
peoples whom tiny tyrannical government per
secutes,” and was adopted.
Chairman O’Brien announced That the busi

BUTHIE’B SISTER.
THE MOST IMPOItTANT VISITOR Ilf
WASHINGTON IN MANY A DAY.
All tlm Country Congratulates—Mother and
Baby Doing Well—She’s a Bright-Eyed
Ueruty and Papa’s in Fine Humor.
Washington, September 9. —Another girl
baby was born to President and Mrs.
Cleveland today. The birth of a baby in
the white house, was, of course, an event
in which more than usual interest was
felt. In an incredibly short space of time
the news was known in congress and was
spread through all the departments. Ihe
imminence of the important event was
made known early in the day by the issue
of an order countermanding the usual
Saturday concert by the marine band in the
white house grounds. Dr. Bryant, who ac
companied the president and Mrs. Cleve
land back from Gray Gables and took up
his quarters in the white house, was the
attending physician. The latest information
obtainable is that Mrs. Cleveland and her
latest daughter were both doing well.
The closest reticence was maintained at
the white house as to the event. Hie first
statement given out was that the event
took place at 2 o’clock p. m. Later it
was permitted to be known that the event
occurred exactly at noon. The president
was informed of the event by Dr. Bryant,
bul. it is said, did not mention it to I rt
vate Secretary Thurber until. 2 o’clock.
In the meantime the news had become
known outside; the first public mention be
ing made of it. in the war department.
Mrs. Perrine, Mrs. Cleveland’s mother,
is on her way to the city, but has not yet
arrived.
Raby Bright Eyes.
The president during the morning attend
ed to his ollicial duties us usual- He sign
ed two bills passed by congress in connec
tion with the celebration of the KMltii
anniversary of the founding of the capitol,
on Ihe 18th instant, and gave ait informal
reception to Prince Yorihito Komatsu, a
grandnephew of the mikada of Japan,
who is traveling in this country.
The president, absented himself from his
ofiiee shortly before 12 o’clock and remained
anxiously awaiting a message. 'When in
formed by Dr. Bryant and the professional
nurse of Mrs. Cleveland's safety, he nt
once went to his wife’s chamber and two
hours afterwards quietly re-entered bls
office and authorized Mr. Thurber to con
firm a rumor, which by this time, was run
ning all over the city.
The baby is a bright-eyed, healthy look
ing young lady. She has not yet been weigh
ed but is said to be of good size.
This is the first child born to a president,
in the white house, though there have been
other births in the executive mansion. The
first was Captain Hall Walker, now of
Montgomery, Ala., whose father was pri
vate secretary to President Polk. The second
was Miss Letitia Tyler, also of Montgom
ery, but who isnow in the government
service at Washington. Her mother was
on a- visit to her grandfather, President
Tyler at the time of her birth.
A Deluge of Congratulations.
Just before the occurrence of the
day, the gales leading through the rear
part of the executive park, were closed
to insure absolute quiet about the mansion.
Earlier in the day orders had been issued
suspending the regular Saturday afternoon
concert of the marine band for today and
the rest of the season.
Immediately after the news had been con
firmed, members of the cabinet and their
wives called to congratulate the president,
and to leave their cards for Mrs. Cleveland.
Attorney General Olney happened to be at
the white house when the president came
back to his office from the sick room short
ly after 2 o clock, and was the first mem
ber of the official family to tender his good
wishes. Bunches of roses from intimate
friends, are pouring into the white house
tonight, and there is a general air of sup
pressed excitement about the employes of
the mansion- Telegrams of congratulation
have been received from all parts of the
country.
Rev. Sylvanus Lane, of the Cincinnati M
E. conference, says: “We have for rears
used Hood s Sarsaparilla tn our family of
e' 1 * 1 u fully e l unl t» all that is claim
ed for it.
EZETA—W RIGHT MARRIAGE,
Will it Take Place is the Question Interesting
Two Continents,
Will Miss Ida Dent Wright, of Atlanta,
become the wife of the president-elect of
Salvador?
That is a question in which the people of
the United States and of our little sister re
public are just now evincing a great deal of
interest.
It hen the first announcement came of the
matrimonial alliance of so great importance
hearty and sincere congratulations were
showered upon Miss Wright by her many
friend's in Atlanta—congratulations that were
in reality meant for the affianced husband
for his good fortune in winning so charming
a woman to be his wife. This international
marriage became a favorite theme for news
paper writers and all the illustrated papers
contained elaliorate sketches of the valiant
general of Salvador and his beautiful fiancee.
The surprise then with which General
Ezeta's denial was received can better be
imagined than described.
Tiie general sentiment was that there must
bo some mistake in the denial. And this
seems to be the case, for iu a special cable
yesterday Mrs. Alarie Wright, indignantly
denied the report that the wedding would
not occur.
Two weeks ago Airs. Alarie Wright, the
mother of the young lady, was in Washing
ton and made all arrangements for the wed
ding to occur at St. Matthew's church there
in October. Mrs. Wright and her daughter
sailed for Faris a few days afterward to
purchase a trousseau.
Miss Wright invited several very well
known young ladles in Washington and New
York to be her assistants. Among them is
Miss Ilarrydell Hallmark, formerly of Au
gusta, but now doing literary work in New
York. Miss Hallmark and Aliss Wright have
been intimate friends for some time and
Miss Hailmark was to have been maid of
honor at the wedding. When the story of
the denial ajipeared The Constitution tele
graphed AUs-s Hallmark to ascertain what
truth there might be in it. She was in
structed to cable Mrs. Wright iu Paris and
to ascertain from San Francisco whether the
consul of Salvador who gave out the denial
was authorized to do so.
Miss Hallmark just heard from San Fran
cisco yesterday. She telegraphed:
“I have just received a telegram from the
Salvadoran consul general at New York, who
is in San Francisco. He says he saw Presi
dent Ezeta's letter to tiie cousin al San
Francisco denying tiie engagement.”
Later came this message:
“Airs. Wright, who is in Paris, cables an
indignant denial of the report. She says the
marriage is to occur in October. Should a
revolution be on at that time the marriage
will take place by proxy."
Aiiss Hallmark adds:
“1 have seen letters signed by him referring
to the marriage to take [dace in Washington,
and 1 know that $3,000 from a Salvador
bank was deposited here to Miss Wright’s
credit witli which to purchase household
furniture.”
So that is the status of tiie case. There
seems to be a decided conflict of testimony or
rather a decided difference of opinion, and
the public continues to ask, will the marriage
occur?
Ho is a Bravo General.
Tito funny complications surrounding the
Ezeta-Wrlght wedding that is, or is not, lobe,
make interesting everything concerning tiie
two people who occupy the central positions
in the controversy.
Is the Ezeta denial genuine or was It sent
on 'by some Ezeta other than the gallant
general?
The dispatches from Washington last Thursday
advanced this theory of mistaken Identity and
a good many people in Atlanta believe that
to be the real situation. Miss Wright’s friends
argue that either the general never wrote
atty denial whatsoever or the so-called denial
was simply a statement that he unight be
unable to be in Washington in person, and
if not that the marriage would have to be by
proxy.
At any rate, the marriage constitutes a
fruitful theme for gossip.
The last number of The Panama -Star and
Herald contains an interesting story, show
ing the character of man General Ezeta is.
It also gives an insight into life in Salvador.
Tiie story is as follows:
“The American Central, of Santa Ana, July
Sth, gives an account of a movement In that
city on July 2d which, if not promptly sup
pressed, would have led to very- serious con
sequences.
“Whether obeying any general plan of revo
lution, or following out some wild ambitious
scheme of his own, does not at present ap
pear, the second in -command of the garrison.
Lieutenant Colonel Flores, resolved to pro
ceed to action on the morning of July 2d.
He selected that day because it was the grand
muster day of the militia of tne surround
ing districts, who at the moment of Flores's
mutiny at the cuartel were actually assem
bled under arms and in formation in the
principal plaza, to tiie number of 4,(KM). After
calling the men to arms he sent detachments
to arrest General Antonio Ezeta and General
J. I). I’reza, the commanding genera! of the
department, both of whom he ordered to be
summarily shot.
“Tiie party sent to arrest General Ezeta
surrounded the general's house, waiting for
him to sa'.iy into tiie street, where his cap
ture could be effected. The general hearing
some shots in tiie direction of the cuartel,
looked out of the window and discovered tiie
party of soldiers, of whose mission tic was
unaware. Seizing ins arms lie went into
the street, where tiie force ot discipline com
mon to the soldier, seemed to overcome any
hasty determination consequent on the recent
orders of Flores, tiie soldiers came to the
present arms, and meekly followed the in
trepid commander towards the cuartel, now
the scene of considerable excitement.
“Tiie party scut to arrest General I’reza had
no 'better fortune, and were completely bluf
fed off by the calmness and -sang froid of
their intended victim. General Preza, on
being notified of the order of arrest, quietly
took the arm of the officer and walked aiong
sociably toward the cuartel —only’ intent for
the moment upon restoring order in the bat
talion and enforcing respect to law and au
thority.
“Ou approaching the cuartel the soldiers of
the guard obeyed Flores’s order to fire upon
the general, but they evidently fired over
the general’s head, as no harm was done. At
this moment Colonel Vasquez, chief of police,
arrived to the assistance of General I’reza,
and drawing a revolver sent a buhet through
the heart of tiie would-be revolutionist. 'Tiie
guard, seeing their leader fall, presented arms
to General i’reza and in a few minutes the
affair was over. Colonel Rodolfo Cristales,
who was in charge of the militia in the [uaza,
kept them perfectly under control although
they' were cognizant that trouble was iu
progress in the cuartel.”

Knoxville, Tenn-, Septembed s.—(Spe

“I dare you to. ;>f your want your face

The boy’s sister then said;
"Shoot her-”
Thereupon he fired. The ball, which was

the girl in the back, and she fell to the
ground screaming- Medical attention was
summoned, and her sufferings, to some
extent, were relieved, though her condition
