K. Williamson Broad Street THE HUSTLER OF ROME, SUNDAY SEPTEMBER, 30 1894. IN FRANCE ‘‘A Roman” Turns a new leaf in his "Note Book” AND SPENDS A DAY Amid H'stor'cSoanesAround Gay Par's. A Gl'mpsc of Church and Palace and Manya Place Renowned. In the year 438 there was born in a little town in France a girl and they nam'd her Genevieve, whose parents were peasants but in very good circumstances, they were good, God fearjng people and she was taught and brought up the same way, as following the occu pation of keeping her fathers sheep in this manner she grew to woman hood . At th ; s time her country was attacted by the Hun’s, the whole country was in terror, Genevieve placed herself at the onlv bridge across the Seine and told the flying people that if they would only re peat, and pray, that God would protect them, they stopped lis tened and won a victory, she lived to an old age and led her people through many successful battles and brought peace and prosperity to her country. The Pantheon :is built on the seat of the tomb of St. Genevieve the patron saint of Paris, is in the form of a Greek cross 370 feet long and 276 feet wide the dome is 272 feet high and as the build ing is on the highest ground in that portion of the city there is a splendid view from its fop. A collondade after the Pantheon in Rome forms the portico. The interior is decorated, with paint ings and statuary among the for mer are series from the childhood to the death of St. Genevive. In the vaults are the tombs of Victor Hugo, Rousseau and many other prominent men, here now rests all that is mortal of the late great and good President of the Republic of France. The “Madeleine,” or church of St. Mary Magdalene, was com menced by Louis X\ , in 1761 but was not completed until 1830. It is about 350 fe-T long, 140 wide and 100 high, is surrounded by 60 massive columns. The building is entirely destitute of windows and is lighted from the roof. In the collonade are a number of statutes of Saints; over the en trancecut in releif, is represented Christ judging the v >rld, in the center is a large figure of our Sa vior, on his right is an angel and the elect, and on his left is justice and the damned with Mary Magdalene interceeding f or them. After passing through the splen did bronze doors we find ourselves in a beautiful hall as it were, con taining many fine paintings, stat utes and groups in marble. The alter is simply so beautiful that it is impossible for me to dis cribe it, representing Mary Mag delene being borne to Paradise by two angels. The building is constructed of grey stone, now dark with age but here and there are light places showing the spots where it was struck during the German Bom bardment. The church is surrounded by a very wide pavement with trees, and here is the flower market for cut flowers, as we pass one of the stands with nothing but beautiful white fresh lilies, we could but hesitate and think that each and every one of the beautiful flowers represented the pure soul of Saint Mary Magdalene. Leaving the Madeleiud wewalk ed through, Place de la Concorde. This square, said to He the most beautiful one in the world, has many sad recollections connected with it in the c liter was erected the guilotine in 1793, here Louis XVI. Charlote Co-day, Marie An toiiie'it.' and many noted persons weie beheaded No |phs thim 2.800 person? per ished here in a little over two years lu the center of the square stands the Obelisk of Luxor, similar to tliH one in Central Park New York, at either end of the square are very large F untains containing many figures representing the rivers and products of France around the place are eight co'lossal figures representing the chieg towns, Strasburg has a veil over her face and decorated with immortelle as she belongs to Germany. < rossing the Sine we got aboard oye of the little steamers on the river for St. Cloud, among the many buildings we see are the chamber of Deputies. The touch of Napoleon. E tTce Tower, and here we are at Bartholdis statue of Liberty enl ightneniug the world, the figure is the same as the one in New York harbour though a great deal smaller . We were soon at St, Cloud and clnned the lull to the ruins of the Palace, situated as it is so near Paris, it is such an important poai . tion that its always b j eu a desire able place. In 1782 the palace was purchas ed and rebuilt by Louis XVI for Marin Antouette, and herein 1799 Napoleon was proclaimed consul and it was always his favorite residence It was the summer home of Napoleon 111 but was burn ed during the Fraucoe Piusian war The grounds are still kept in al their beauty, on the side of the hill next to the ruins is the Grand Cascade, it is formed .by a number of steps or terrac-s over which the water pours down to the big pool at the bottom,at the top are collos sai figures holding urns pouring the waler, and a great many foun aina throwing streams in all di rections. On either side as we g<» down ar»* figures representing the Seine and the Marrie. We now left the cascade and walked to the summit of the hill and from here we obtained a very fine view. Far below us the river Sieue as it winds through the citv in the distance the Eiffel Tower.St Su:pp(ms,tbe Pantheon and many othc-r prominent places. A ROM A N Kasne as • Hamlet’” He will play “Hamlet” here on Thursday evening next with a company represented to us as very strong with legitimate drama. The “Melancholy Dane” has always been a favorite with Mr. Keen for it is a scholarly philosoph dreamy part which jumps closely with the actors individuality. Norman, on the stage is so close a student of his art as Keene. this season every play has been revised and the closest attention given to detail of costumes, scenic effects and general fitness. His company was never better and in some re spects it is stronger. In the play of “Hamlet” Mrs. Lawrence and Mr. Arden will be conspicuous. Seats going very rap idly at Yeisers. Call now. RECITAL, A Pleasant Evening at Shorter College Friday. The Teachers of Shorter College gave a delightful recital to the pu pils and a few friends Friday night. Prof. Thompson is an accom plished musical instructor, and his selections on the piano were beautiful. Miss Annie Louise Griswold sang several solos and was hearti ly encored. She has a strong and sympathetic voice, atid is besides one of the most popular t achers in the college. The elocution selections from Miss Jennie Selman were a special feature of the entertainment. Prof. Buchanan rendered several violin solos very happily. Altogether it was a most pleasant evening for all who were fortunate enough to be present. SPEAKER CRI P. In his speech yesterday confired himself principally to elucidating democratic principles, and at the same time ventillating his own ideas on the silver question. Until this much mooted question is de cided Trevitt & Johnson will con tinue giving their customers sl. valuation in perscription and drug gist sundiies for a silver dollar no matter at what rates. I KLUSTER OF BULLS EYE SHOTS. The Hustler of Rome, starting as it oid at the foot of the ladder, 'is steadily climbing toward the top. To the observant friends of the paper or even the disinterest ed acquaintance, the above state ment is a potent fact. But to our friends, 'he emmiy, w« point to ti e Hustler of Rome of today and invite him to compare it with the r vbtler of Rome w lich, three jetiisjago oi tbis day was less than a mouth old. * * * In all these years (and we use the term advisedly) “the little pa per.” which began life without a dollar, or advertiser, or subscriber, or eveu a days newspaper experi ence for its chief, has been battling for success and growing in grace with the masses and, despite the “fearful panic” has not been fore ed to ‘ change managers” and dis cover new’ “resources” that it mignt live. Today it speaks for its self — all the same I am going to give you the following, because it comes from the pen of one of the most gifted lady writers in this city and pays deserved tribute to talented contributors to this, “the people’s paper.” Read: *** •‘Mr. Bull’s Eye man “The Hushrer of Rome is tak ing on new attractions, and adding to its repertory new and pleas.ng features from time to time. But last Sunday’s edition was the very best of all —every column teeming with a wealth of good things. The news items, locals and per sonals are all that could be desired The editorial pages an varied and interesting. The contributed arti cles, coming from many sources, are creditable specimens of the li erary talent of our city. * * * Sketches from the note-book of “A Roman,” appearing in recent Sunday editions, are exceptionally good. With mi art so perfect as to conceal all trace of art, the writer introduces the reader into scenes made immortal m song and story, wt ile apt quotations from Burns and Walter Scott shed a glow of ideal beauty over pictures painted so long ago by those gifted sons of the soil. One very notable feature is ttia: the writer does not make himself the “hero of his owl. sto ry” as many writers do. I have heard of one who used the pronoun I, so often that the printers had to borrow I's from their brother print ers before setting up his commu nication- * * * The regular contribution of Min nie Lee Arnold are always good, but she surpasses herself in the beautiful lines “No One Cares,” * * * But time would fail us to enu merate all the commendable fea tures of the Sunday Hustler. — The Woman’s Column, Temper ance literature, Religious reading. Every department is well selected and well supplied. And there is a spice of original and characteristic humor interspred here and there which gives a palatable flavor very refreshing. * * * Even the advertisements are in teresting and pleasantly suggestive of thrift and enterprise and—all those departments ,of industry which build up and ennoble and establish the prosperity,of a town. Loug live The Hustler of Rome, A Reader. o o o Now, that criticism makes me feel good all over, and puts me in a good humor for a week;to come, an 1 a week is a long time when it is spent in an atmosphere made livid with the firery breath of dev il, pie and delinquent. o o o I understand that Atlanta Look ing Glass is roasting the Hustler of Rome —well, to did “Lord Beresford’s” book. So long as we remain “with the people in fight ing the dirt-loving, mud slinging, scandie mongers we expect “roast” from that source, “Typhographi cal errrors’ are not in the habit of “barring” people from the walks of every day life. The fact is we have heard of “errors” that work a great deal more harm to society than “typographical errors,” even though they appear daily. Let the Looking Glass’ Rome reporter ex tend bis courage to the tip of his saber and when he speakesof min« isters, especially, let him, for the sake of all the good ones, give the mimes of the fallen and sinful brethren—Let him show his kur— rage. o o o Friday night will long be»remem bered by many of the good people of this city—lt was a Crisp night with a Crisp reception . For two hours the bold yeomanry, the beauty of the Hill City and scores of pretty children and noble youth passed through the parlors of the Armstrong shaking the hand of Georgia’s great son, Chas, F. Crisp, Speaker cf the Lower H iuso of Congress, o o o Never has the elegant parlors balconies, corridors, reception rooms and lobbies of the great ho tel contained a more animated mass of humanity. The profession al man fiom his office jostled the artizan from his bench while the merchant and the laborer met on common ground to do homrgeto the great Democratic Statesman from Americus. o o o> Speaker Crisp arrived on the 4:40 train over the Southern Rail way from Atlanta, and was met at the depot by a committee compos ed of Congressman Maddox, Mayor John D.

Not only these giants but prob ably all other vines in the kingdom have to give place forextent and productiveness to that most re markable vine which is just at the present moment carrying the enor mous quantity of 852 munches and a total weight materially exceed ing half a ton. This is growing at Manresa House Roehamptou in a vinery 224 feet long by 11 feet wide. Toe viue was planted by the present gardener Mr. Davis, as a cutting unto a wail outside more than thirty years ago. But finding that in the natural soil such capi tal growth was made, the present house was specially built for its accommodation so that now the vine and its main stems stand part ly across the house just two thirds up its length. There are seven main rods or branches running (horizontally each way. These are allowed to carry laterals or fruiting shoots on the upper sides only so that the grapes now fast becoming black (for the variety is the black Ham burg) hang the entire length of the roof as is commonly the case. Over two thousand buncnes were cutout after they had set. The val ue of the crop estimated at two shillings per pound —which is as good grapes go, perhaps not a bi; h figure —would be£ll2. Probably no other tree of any kind in’t kingdom could p "Lcj such a sum in fruit annually.
