A. Ii. stephens Leaves " Liberty Hail.
For forty years, excepting the two be-
fore the final fall of the Southern Con-
resided on his estate, near Crawfordville,
Ga, known as " Liberty Hail." He has
known no other home, and his slaves be-
fore tho war and his tenants since have
known no other proprietor. Last week,
on the departure OF the govcrnOr-elect to
Atlanta, the great house was closed up
for the first time since Mr.. Stephens pur-
chased it in 1912 never, in all probability,
to be re-Opened. The mansion is one of
the historic landmarks, of Georgia. In
the spacious dining room have been vel
coined by Mr.. Stephens more guest than
were ever entertained by any other Ameri-
can citizen. The library is 4 large, un-
pretentions room, packed on all sides
with books, mostly On topics relating to
the war Of the rebellion and constitutional
questions. Mr.. Stephens War Between
tho States was written in this room,
which contains every conceivable treatise
on governmental affairs and every history
of tho struggle that has ever appeared.
It is we'll known that Mr.. Stephens is
poor. He spends his income on charity
aud in entertaining. and has always done
SO. While he is scrupulOusly exact in his
Own personal expenses, he has little
thought of money spent Oh others. 1t is
his boast that he has never turned any
one away from his door. His income from
his books anonnts to but little. He said
recently, in speaking of them :sI sold the
copyright Of my war Between the States
in 1872. [ WAS sick then aud Thought l
was going to die, and SO sold out alto
gether. 1t is paying the publishers very
handsomely. understand GO, 600 copies
have been sold recently. My school his
tory pays steadily about $500 year.
The royalty is but cents 4 copy, but tho
sales are steadily increasing. l have tho
copyright on "Reviewers Reviewed and
Of course On my new history of the United
States, from the first settlement to the
killing of Garfield. 1t has 1, 100 pages,
and is handsomely printed. 1t will be
sold by subscription, and will be sold
largely, Think. l control tho copyright Of
this, of course. Had it not been for tho
hopes l had of this book should never
have thought Of accepting tho governor
ship. l could not begin to live on the
salary the state allows, and have no in
come except what have mentioned"
There arc seven tenants OIL the Stephens
estate Of 1000 acres. The property pays
but little more than the taxes. Mr..
Stephens is now 7G years old, and his 3
years term of Office asgovernor Of Georgia
will probably end his career rs holder of
official station.
A Little Dangerous Nowadays.
Philadelphia Times.
The Stalwarts seem to be running things
in Lancaster county in the good old
fashioned boss way, just rs il thcre had
been no earthquake in Pennsylvania with
in the last year or two. Stealing tax re-
ceipts, and for that matter anything else
that was lying around loose, has been
considered good evidence Of supreme fit
ness for front seat in tho boss synagogue
heretofore, and it would seem that the
news of tho conviction Of several of the
leading lights of Philadelphia boss politics
for Offenses of similar nature hasn't
penetrated that Old-fashiOned quarter.
Out of pure regard for tho welfare Of the
bosses tha Times takes great pleasure in
notifying the benighted Stalwarts of far
Oft Lancaster that such things arc con-
sidercd a little dangerous nowadays. Men
have actullly been sent to the penitentiary
and arc now serving out their sentences
for similar Offenscs, and there is no telling
what even 4 Lancaster jury might do if
some naughty Democrat or Independent
should have the bad taste to insist that
the thing was 4 crime and ought to be
punished.
Fall of Three Dwelling Houses.
Shortly after 10 O'clork, Monday night,
the houses Nos. 436, 43S and 44O North
Eighth street, Philadelphia. tho fronts of
which mad been torn out, and which were
turned into stores, fell with tremendous
crash. The occupants OF two Of the
houses the third being vacant, were
caught III the ruins and all hurt, though
as known not seriously, with the exception
of Mrs. Margaret Finney, of 439. She was
very badly injured, and was taken to the
Pennsylvania hospital. Tho accident
caused great excitement in the neighbOr-
hood it being feared for time that
number Of persons had been killed.

instances being as large as pullet eggs"
