A few days ago passers-by in Broadway, looking through the high fence that surrounds Trinity Churchyard, saw a slender, black gowned girl kneeling by the grave of Charlott Temple. Her head was , bowed in her hands, and she seem ed utterly lost to her surroundings. After a while she arose with a very pale face, walked swiftly through the gates and disappeared , in the crowd. She was only one of many devotees at the shrine of the poor girl who died for love. No body ever visits Trinity Church yard without pausing for a few moments before the big brown slab that bears only the name, “Char lotte Temple.” Oh, yes! said the gray-haired old man whose duty it is t) see that the ancient tombs are kept inorder, It is the most popular grave in the yard. I have been here going on 17 years now, and have been very few days in good weather when the grave has not had a visitor. Several times I have seen women come here and stand in the cold sleet and snow looking at the tomb. Somehow they al ways look as if they were in trou ble. Seven or eight years ago I be gan to put {lotted Howers, gerani ums and the like, on the grave, and I have kept it up ever since. It is mainly to mark the grave, so that visitors can find it. It is the only grave in the yard that has flowers on it. Otherwise the peo ple would bother me to dearh. When they ask where the grave of Charlotte Temple is now, I simply tell them that it is over on the West side with some potted flow ers on it. That saves me a deal of trouble. Several of the gravestones ’ are crumbling badly and will have to je repaired if th* descendants of the dead want to perpetuate their memory. See here is the oldest in the place. Then the old man swept away a ayer of dust from a crumbling gray stone and showed the date 16- 31. We have aeverarthat date al most as far back, aaid he, but none of them is so popular as that of Charlotte Temple. Then the ancient aittendant bucked his broom under hie arm, licked up his wheelbarrow and trundled away among the graves. Those Devil Quotations.

W.T. MCWILLIAMS Died Friday Afternoon at 4 O’clock at his Home on Second Ave. I : IT WAS NOT UNEXPECTED Funeral Services at the First i Baptist Church this After noon at 2:3o—Some thing About his life. An Enterprising man. Mr. W, T. McWilliams died at • his home on Second Avenue Fri , day afternoon at 4o’clock. At his bedsides was his wife and children, and the ®nd come as peacefully and . quietly as a child falling asleep. ( Mr. McWilliams has been seri ously ill for some months, and though all that medical skill and tender hands could do was done for him, the family were fully cogniz ant that deatn was sure and cer tain. An extremely difficult sur gical operation was performed on him last May, and since that time he has been confined to his room ( though able to ait up much of the time. For the past week he had began to grow steadily weaker, and the end was expected at anytime, though it was no less a shock to his friends and relatives, Since last year Mr. McWilliams had been the leading fator in t’ e Rome Furniture Factory, and by his energy and business qualities he brought it an era of prosperity, hitherto unknown in its history. It is today one of the most stable enterprises of the city and furnish es employment for a large number of men. Besides the furniture factory he was identified with other enter prises. that were conducive to the Upbuilding of the city he lived in. By economy and thrift he had amassed a comfortable fortune. He is a native Georgian, though h-is boyhood and considerable of his early life wae spent in Ala bama. He was born in Greenville in 1842, and lived there until three years of age. In 1845 his father moved to We tumpka, Ala., where Mr. McWil liams grew to manhood. He was engaged in business thsre both be fore aud after the war. Wheu the South seceded he at once inlisted and served valliantly through the war. He moved to Rome in 1873 and went into the wholesale dry goods business with Mr. J. L. Camp, aud Capt. R. G. Clark. In 1875 Mr, 0 H, McWilliams, a brothe: ( of the deceased, bUrchasjd ’.the in- r 4 1 tercet of Mr J. L Camp. They did a splendid business until 1885 when Capt.

At least I thought I had ; but I’m not so sure now. I don’t get in the frontdoor.’ “ ‘What do you mean?’ “ ‘The man I bought from refus es to give me the key to the front 1 door, and I can get in and out on ly by the back way.’ “ ‘What reason does he give for acting in that manner?’ “ ‘He says I didn’t buy the front of the house, and he is not going to let me in that way.’ “ ‘Have you got your deed all right,’ I asked. “ ‘Oh, yes! That’s all right.” “ Well, you bring it down to morrow and let me look it over. “The next morning B. appeared with the deed, which, to a casual glance, appeared to he in correct form, But on examining the de sciption of the property by metes and bonds. I discovered a curious omission. The-point of beginning was at the junction of the street line and the westerly boundary line, running thenee to the north boundary, to the east boundary and then to the street and slopped there. Hence, the frontage, or casement, not being described, was not conveyed. “And thus, while B. was the le gal owner of rest of house, the frontage was technically the prop erty of the other fellow, and he had a right to carry the latch key, smoke his pipe on the front stoop and put on all the airs of master of the house, while B. could only sneak in through the back door. “Whether the omission was in tentional or not w -.-i impossible to find out. But it v. as quickly made plain that the technical owner of the front stoop meant to profit by the accident, if accident it was. On interviewing him he calmly re marked that the frontage was his and he meant to claim it. £*nig I threatened with :i suit, and the as surance that a Court of equity would compel the correction of the deed, he repiled, ‘Fire away!’ “Finally, rather than to have the property tied up in the Courts possibly for two years, I advised B, to compromise the mat'er if he could, and by the payment of SSOO he acquired i u loubted right to ti e latch key of his own front door.’ Answer to Prayer. A gentleman in Piscataquis County who likes a joke, althongh he has no purpose of making light of serious things, tells a story of an old character in his neighbor hood who mixed up eccentricity, religious fervor and profanity as er a most singular fashion. One fall when the snow was too thin for snow-shoeing, the “char acter” got very uneasy, as he was anxious to go hunting. He fussed about for several days, and at last fell to praying fervently. “Snow, Lord ; send snow ! Send five dol lars’ worth,” was the burden of bis supplication. That very night the storm struck a regular blizzard, and before it was over the snow lay three feet deep everywhere. As it was as • light as feathers, it was no better . for snow-shoeing than when there i was none, and the disgusted hunt r er looked out of doors ruefully. 1 “If I had known the blamec • stuff was so thundering cheap,” d he exclaimed, in his vexation. e wouldn’t have prayed for more .
