plenty of rains hereafter. Some of the

MARKHAM EXAMINED.
ff« Saji That He Regarded the Order
of Tryon Impracticable.
Valleta, Malta, July 18.—Rear Ad
miral Markham was examined before
the British courtmartial here.
In the opening of his testimony, his
official dispatches to the admiralty re
porting the facts and details of the dis
aster were read, and he stated that he
had nothing to add to these dispatches.
When questioned as to tbe impression
made npon him when tbe signal of
Vice Admiral Tryon was hoisted on the
Victoria ordering that the distance be
tween two columns be six cable lengths,
Rear Admiral Markham replied that
When the signal was read he said to bis
flag lieutenant: “That is impossible
since it is an impracticable movement.
The rear admiral then repeated the
story of the signals as contained in his
dispatches to the admiralty. He said
that when he signaled to the Victoria
that he did not quite nnderstand the
signal the Victoria answered that the
Camperdown was delaying maneuvers.
It then occurred to witness that he
was to put the helmjof the Camperdown
down and tarn her 16 points to star
board, while the victoria would ease
her helm and circle round on to the out
side of division which was being led by
the Camperdown.

LIGHTNING'S WORK-
A Mother Kilted White Holding Her

Williamson, Ga, Jnly 19.—Mrs. John
Gresham, living near here, was killed
by lightning j esterday. _
Mrs. Gresham was at her borne in the
country, when the storm cams np. It
was a heavy thunder storm, and, as the
sharp peals of thunder told that tbe
storm was right at hand, she took her
yonng baby in her arms. She bad
scarcely donee) whoa a bolt of the
deadly flaid struck the house, and the
poor woman received the full force of iL
She was instantly killed, her body be-
i'g badly burned also The child re
ceived a severe shock, bn’, strangely
enough, will recover. The house was
set on fire by the same bolt, bat, was
exGcgnished by pmpli who happened
t) be near at the time. The escape of
the child la considered marvelous.
Sweet Gam and Mullein is a sure cure
for ooughs, oolds, croup, consumption
and all otter throat ana lung trouble
Yon have beard of tbe M id wsy~ PI al
as nee at the World’s Fair, haven’t yon ?
Well, it would be hard to puranade me
that you have heard too mnoh in its fa
vor; and aa for any of the other boys in
oar party especially either of the hand
some pair, Bob Lokey or Sam Deal, of
Atlanta, they bad rather be a lamp-
post in Midway than mayor of a com
mon city.
It is certainly a royal treat to the or
dinary fair visitor, after he has walked
sixty mile* in the main buildings, to
keep fr m paying those highway rob
bers two dollars an hoar for a wheel
chair.
It’s true than are a number of leg-
palling establishments there, bnt yon
want to avosd them. So far as that is
obnoerned, if you go to Chicago to get
yonr 1% palled,yon have the operation
performed in any block in the city as
well as Midway Flaisanoe.
Well, what is the Midway Plaiaanoe?
I have been often asked.
It is an aggregation of curious crea
tures, surrounded by varigtted envi
ron meats, engaged in catting all kinds
of capers, portraying home-life as it is
lived “down on the farm” in all the
leading nations on earth—a place
where you spend a few hours in pleas
ant pastime with much good solid
amusements, likewise a few dollars,
whtoh you will never regret, and win 1
up by seeing more of the world in one
hour than yon have ever seen before in
yonr life.
Yon leave the fair grounds by Six
tieth street, pass under the elevated
railroad, smile at the phonograph girl,
raise your umbrella, count your cash,
and yon are in Midway. On your left
yon see an Irish village, where genuine
ruddy-cheeked, home-made Irish girls
will give you a welcome. The interior
will give you an aoonrate idea of life on
the Emerald Isle, with its peasants,
pigs, prides and cottages.
On the right is tbe great international
oongrnas of boauty, with its forty cele
brated bounties from the same number
of different nation*, set off with a great
Harem scene in the rear The biauties
are nqt‘‘stock np,” but will smile at
you sweetly and talk ut a pleasant man
ner to yonr entire satisfaction. N x:
is the great Libbey Glass Works, well
worth seeing O t the other Bide is the
Persian theatre, and maybe yon Lave
seen suggestive ballet dancing, and
maybe you haven’t, bat the pretty Per-
s ai damsels will knock the shine ell off
anv previous experience, if you are a
Georgian.
Then ther* is the esptive balloon, in
which yon can float up 1400 feet in the
air, but it will cost you two dollars for
the privilege. Toen the German vil
lage catches the eye on one side and
the Turkish and Egyptian theatres on
the other.
So on you go, spending a few min
utes and a few shcokles with all na
tions, taking occasional resting spells
in the beer gardens and cafes, till you
reach the great Ferris wheel,the grand-
e t sight of them all. There are in tny
models of ancient courts and castle*,
also scenes from Cairo, R ime, Athens,
Constantinople and other interesting
historical centres that will not only
please, bat be of valae to yon.
At each stop you will be entertained
by a bevy of pretty oriental beauties,
whose bewitching smiles and requests
to “buy from me, please sir,” that will
keep your hand on your purse uncon
sciously all the time.
From one direotion yon will hear
sweet mndo from some magnificent
band or orchestra, and from another
yonr ears will be pierced with the most
hideous and unharmomous foreign airs
from instruments that are as ugly aa
their tones and players.
The whole place is pervaded with a
free and easy sir of “everything goes,
who gives a ?”and yon willen
joy it, for it is aside from its vastly in
structive features a relief after yon
have spent the major portion of the
day on the big exhibits.
on! what text!
I have heard so much about Chicago
girls big f that I was inclined to dis
creet the whole story as a kind of atook
newspaper joke, bat please excuse me
now. Fortunately Mr. Ad«m on, of
tbe Constitution, with whom I spent
much of my time, and I formed pleasant
acquaintances in neighboring bott >s.
Adamson’s friend was a Jap.,
an ed netted, intelligent, jf
ant fellow, well off, good natnred and
ready to talk, and while Adamron
put in bis time with
Japlets, I talked Georgia
watermelons and mules to a pretty
phonograph girl occupying a booth
nearby. She was abont lfi years oil
small, delicate, sweet voiced, and with
an expression so soft and angelic till
it did not harmonise with her surround'
ings at all. Oae evening after Adam
son had dr. d of talking to his Japlets
in seven diff rent languages, he called
on my friend and myself He dropped
his eye* towards the-floor, and aa he
raised them his expression changed
magidy, and at once be said, “oome.
on.” I demurred, but the second in
vitation convinced me that there was
method in his madnessa, andl f Jiowed.
We had gone a few step, when he
stopped to explain.
Say,” he said, “did yon see that
girl’s feetf”
“No,” I replied. “I did not notice
them.”
“Well,” he said with a long drawn
■igb, “that girl is built' in sections, and
the main portion ta on the grourd.
He feet are so lsrge that if she stexx’
in Athens fseic g the north pole they
wr u’d extend so far noith that there
would be snow on her toes all the sum
mer.”
1 strolled back half incredulous and
half indignant to investigate, and with
all dne respect to my friend, Adamson
was about as near comet as mortal
man can get. My word for it, yon can
believe anything yoa hear about Chic
ago girls pedal extremities.
THINGS TO REM-MBRR.
When at the fair if yon check yonr
baby at the public nursery be sore yon
get the right package when yon turn
in the oheck, or yonr mistake may in-
car the trouble and expense of adopt
ing a Chinese or Dago, after you get
back home.
Of coarse yoa mast apologise when
you run against the dummy soldiers in
the army exhibit, but do it quietly. If
you are too profuse tbe people around
yon who have done the same thing
themselves, will tough at yon.
Don’t break yonr neck and ran over
a dozen people to catch a steamer for
the city, and then sit In the sun and
melt an hoar, and enrse because it don’t
leave.
Let somebody else deliver the leo-
tnres ai d do the dessecting aot on,the
high art figures in the sculptor^ dis
play. If you are from Georgia yonr
enthusiasm may attract too much at
tention.
Always count yonr change after
making a purchase.
When yon take a party of new ac
quaintances to a beer garden don’t tear
yonr hair in insisting on the pleasure
of payirg the whole bill. Yon will
doubtless be given a show.
Don’t Invito a guard or policeman to
take a cigar or lunch with yon or yon
m%y be arrested for a pick pocket.
The beat and most attractive route to

Chattanooga, the Q and C. to Cincin

STOLEN DURINg'tHE WAR.
An Old Land Rooord Returned to
Georgia After Long Absence.
Atlanta, July 19 —A paper ninety-
eight years old came to Govenor North
ern yesterday from a New Yorker. He
said that it was no good to him, and be
concluded to Bend it back to Georgia,
whence it came.
It was a grant of 64,000 acres of land

James Shorter to Charles McDonald.
Govenor Matthews was tbe chief exe
cutive of the state then. The land is de
scribed as lyirg on the Ohoopee and

No Stopfihb Athens.—“There is no
stopping Athens.” remarked Mr. Hi
ram Crawford, of that city, yesterday,
talking abont the rumors of hard times
over the country. “Athens, of course,
has been dull in a business sense this
summer, bnt there is not a town that
has not beau, and Athens no more than
any of them. Bnt the good time is
coming by and. by when things will
wake up all over the country, and then
Athens will be heard from. The life
and energy that in late years prompted
Athens to secure so many improve
ments is still aiive and the town is
surely going to awaken to a wonderful
trsda this fall, if signs count for
aught.” Mr. Crawford is one of the
leadirg merchants of Athens.—^Consti
