LATE NEWS NOTES.
General.
Mrs. S. R. Talley, widow of the
late Rev. Talley, of Gainesville, Geor
gia, is dead from the effects of ivy
poisoning. Mrs. Talley visited Chat
tahoochee park recently and while
gathering wild rtmvers unknowingly
plucked a handful of ivy, carrying it
home with her. The poison of the
vine entered her system. After sev
eral days of intense suffering she
died.
Spontaneous combustion in the hay
lofts in the stables on the Vander
bilt estate, Biltmore, N. C., started a
fire which threatened the extensive
dairies. The Asheville department
was called out, but the fire chief was
excluded by the gatekeeper at the
dairy because he was in an automo
bile. There is a rule prohibiting au
tomobiles, save thase of the Vander
bilts, entering the grounds.
The Italian consul at New Orleans
has wired to Governor Sanders, of
Louisiana, urging the state to protect
the lives and property of the Italians
of Bossier parish, where, because of
the murder of a well known citizen
several days ago, feeling is high
against the Italians and threats have
been made to rid the parish of them.
An “ex-slaves’ union,” the fidst or
ganization of its kind in tha world,
was founded recently at Augusta,
Ga., at the Shiloh Orphanage for ne
gro children. The purpose of the club
is to encourage pol'taness, thrift and
sobriety among the negroes. It was
started with about 100 members, and
“Uncle Dan” McHorton, founder and
father of the famous Shiloh Orphan
age, was elected president.
Victory for the near-beer men was
the result of a test case made in the
Chattanooga, Tenn., city court. The
police department made a strong
fight, but the testimony of ,T. L. Wal
ton, who stated on the stand that he
drank 25 glasses before breakfast and
was able to appear in court in a per
fectly sober condition , threw the
weight of the evidence against Chief
of Police McMahon and ids men.
Fifty years ago a small, barefoot
boy walked into the drug store of Dr.
R. Harwell at Thomaston, Ga. On
the floor by the counter he spied a
?5 bill. The boy picked up the bill,
put it in his pocket: and walked out.
A few days ago Mrs. J. W. Payne, of
Atlanta, received a check for $33.34,
her share of SIOO, repaying to herself
and her two sisters, with interest, th
$5 bill picked up a half century be
fore in her father's store at Thomas
ton. It is a story of “conscience mon
ey,” and Mrs. Payne, is now in pos
session of all the facts except the
present address of the man whose
sensitive conscience had led him so
amply to repay the “find” of his boy
hood.
France has refused to recognize
Benjamin Franklin as the inventor of
the lightning-rod, claiming that that
honor belongs to a French physician
named Jacques de Romas, who, in
1750, two years before Franklin, an
nounced a means of diverting light
ning. The French academy of science
in 1764 recognized Romas’ claim to
priority, and now President Fallieres
has accepted the presidency of a com
mittee formed to erect a monument
to Romas, the real inventor of the
lightning-rod.
Two strange women in an automo
bile have created anew mystery by
calling at the home of Comptroller
Herman A. Metz in New York City,
and leaving a package containing
$675 to be applied to the “Conscience
Fund of Manhattan.” The comptroll
er has been unable to think of any
one who owes the borough that
amount and who is afraid to have it
known.
For thirty-two years W. J. Steeg,
a democrat, postmaster at Limedaie.
Indiana, has hoped in vain that some
republican would get into that town
and get his job. The office did not
pay much, anyhow, and on the Fourth
of July Steeg threw up the job. He
was appointed postmaster there by
President Hayes. A democrat will be
his successor, because Limedaie is
still without a republican voter.
Judge Everton J. Conger, who led
the detail of soldiers that captured J.
Wilkes Booth, after the assassination
of President Lincoln, was probably fa
tally injured by being run over by an
automobile at Dillon. Mont.
Washington.
The new one-cent piece, bearing
the head of President Lincoln, will be
issued by the treasury department
from the mint at Philadelphia, begin
ning on August 1 next. It is expected
that by that time a sufficient supply
of these coins will have been accu
mulated to meet all demands.
Southern senators- scored in the
senate when they secured the adop
tion of the amendment providing for
a drawback on cotton ties. This
drawback on ties is of very large im
portance to the cotton planters.
They will be able as the result of its
provisions to get back 99 per cent of
the duties on cotton ties shipped
abroad.
It was announced at the Japanese
embassy that Ambassador Togoro Ta
kahira has not been recalled by his
government, that he was going home
on leave and would return to his post
in this country within a short time.
It is reported from Bulawaice, Rho
desia, that General Louis Botha, pre
mier of the Transvaal, at the request
of the South African National con
vention, will offer the chartered
South Africa. Company $100,000,000
for the purchase of Rhodesia by 1 ni

We recall the story of the negro
porter who, having requested a well
known politician to move inside the
Pullman, was asked slyly whether a
platform wasn’t made to stand on.
“No. sah,” the d'arky twinkled, “a

Irving Bacheller in leading the hero
of Ijs new novel “The Hand-Made
Gentlemian” through the paces of ad

a fellow companion, en route to be
coming runaways, boarded a railway
train, and, being fearful to enter
without car-fare, stoojj outside. The
train roared and creaked along, and
the platform, narrates Mr. Bacheller,
began to sway and jump and shove
and jerk and waver. Just then n
brakeman passed through, and swung
his lantern where the boys’ eyes coiud
see the picture of a grave on the
car dqor. Its headstone bore these
words;
“Sacred to the memory of a man
who once stood on a car platform.”
