WICKED Parry CANNON.

A Beautiful Woman who Killed
Eleven Persons With Her own
Rands-sIave Dealers Decoyed
and Murdered.
Georgetown (Del.) Correspondence
philadelphia Press.
Fifty yards from where | write
stands the monument over the grave
OF Patty Cannon. Patty died while
under sentence of death, and was
buried IN one corner of the Jail lot in
this town. There are few of the
opinion that she brlbed the sheriff
and escaped, while some one else's
remains were inferred at the spot
mentioned as a ruse to cover her
flight. The monument over her
grave Is nothing more than a small
shanty built to cover the new road
machine bought by the town, but
the town fathers once selected and
marked the spot as the site of Patty's
grave, and since then the mark has
gone by the name of "Patty's monu-
ment." Patty gained her noto-
riety by the crimes she committed
When about to ole she confessed to
having killed eleven persons with
her own hands; that she had been
an accessory to many other murders,
and had killed her own offspring,
and murdered her husband by ad
mlnistering to him dose of poison.
Patty was the granddaughter of All
English nobleman, who disinherited
her father because he made a fool
ish marriage. The hot-headed son
and his new wife crossed the ocean
to Montreal. The husband could
not get along and died a victim OF
the flowing bowl. Patty's mother
took TO keeping boarding house,
aud at her mothers home man
named Cannon, of tins country,
while On tour through the north,
met the pretty daughter, fell in love,
aud married her. Cannon brought
his wife here, but Patty tired of her
husband in time, and after accom-
piishing his death as narrated she
entered upon career of crime un-
eQualed in its shocking barbaritv
and bloodthirstiness. She moved to
Johnson's crossroads and opened q
: hotel, which she made a headouar-
ters for slave dealers who passed
through the lower county of Della
ware. At this hotel she. with her
associates, murdered and robbed the
VITALITY slave dealers who there
sought lodging.
Some time after moving to the
cross roads che fitted slave boat
which piled between Philadelphia

The American Bird.

De Lesseps having TERRIFIED the
lion, would now intimidate the eagle.
He says that he will resist the Ameri-
cans as fearlessly as he did the
English if they attempt to violate
the neutrality of the Panama canal.
De Lesseps ranks as one of the great
powers of Europe. Perhaps his
voice will be heard in the council of
the nations when the affairs of Egypt
are adjusted. He will find, however,
that when he attempts to pull the
feathers from the tail of the great
American bird that the result will
be far different from what it was
when he gave vigorous twist to
the caudal appendage of the British
lion

Southern Exhibits at Boston,
[Springfield Republican,


The exhibits from the southern
states furnish sufficient proof of
their. vast and rich resources OF
woods and ores. They are here,
chiefly through the enterprise of
various southern railroad companies
the Richmond and Danville, the
East Tennessee, Virginia and Geor-
gia, the Norfolk and Western, the
Shenandoah Valley and the Georgia
Pacific. TIL, Be displays include coal,
iron and precious metals, marble,
granite and valuable stones, besides
specimen timbers. tobacco, Cereals
and cotton. This is the first exhi-
bition in which these products have
figured, except in the Atlanta expo
sitlon. The railroads and their
branches penetrate an area largely
undeveloped, and the ores aud
woods are shown with a view of in
teresting capitalists in the new coun-
try. The iron ore comes largely
from the Honaker mine in North
Carolina, the Clifton and Limonlte
in Alabama, and several mines in
Wythe county, Virginia. The sore
Knob" region of North Carolina and
the mines at Ducktown, Tennessee,
lend rich specimens of copper, man-
ganese, and the rare crystalized
manganese comes from Georgia.
Alabama, Tennessee and North Car
olina contribute white and yarie-
gated marble, fire-brIck clay and the
yellow pottery clay from Madi-
son. There are specimens of BIZ
luminous coal from famous
veins along the Rome and Dali
ton railroad line, and the dis
play of wood Is abundant and of
rare interest, now that our northern
forests are becoming exhausted.
Georgia pine, black walnut, red
cedar and hickory, cup oak, cherry,
Georgia birch and poplar, white and
yellow, ironwood, cypress, black
locust, chinawOod, magnolia, Usage
orange, red and white bay-all these
and other unnamed varieties of tim
Der are shown in boards and blocks
and sections of great trees. Then
there are shown ochre and barks for
making somber or brilliant dye
stuffs and many more products of
lesser commercial value, but of real
interest to one who cares to see
how abundantly our brethren
below Mason and Dixon's
line are furnished with things
TO work upon. The cotton ex-
habit is not extensive, and more
prominence is given to the tobacco.
You have already had description
of the great fort of spun tobacco
from the famous Richmond "navy'
firm, with its arms and eagles, its
irowning batteries, its shot and shell
and attacking nen-of-war. Beside
this is display OF cigarette tobaccos
from famous southern factory, and
a'party of young women from the fac
tory were put at work in the build
ing last month, illustrating with def
fingers the process of cigarette-mak-
ing. The Richmond cedarwarc
works has a great pyramid of fra
grant buckets. tubs and churns just
opposite, bound with shining bands
of brass.

How Cherokees Play Base Bali.
Nashville Americana

Citizens here in Swain county
North Carolina, have frequently
expressed a wish that 1 could wit
ness the Indians at a game of base
ball. They strip stark naked, ex-
cept a small apron, and grease them
selves from head to foot with pole
cat oil. They do not hit the ball,
but throw and carry it to imaginary
lines, and he that carries it is caught
held fast. and soon all the players
are in a big pile, writhing, jerking,
pushing and doing verything except
lighting. Many are frequently badly
hurt in the scramble, but nobody
pays any attention to them. As soon
as the play is over the players all
break for the river and jump in.

Topeka, Kansas, is in a bad way,
in consequence of the passage of
the prohibition law in that state.
There are fifty saloons in Topeka,
which do thriving business in the
liquor line, although there is q strin-
gent prohibitory law upon the stat
utes. The saloons formerly paid
annually into the city treasury about
$4,000 year. Prohibition has pro-
b bited the receipt of that revenue,
although there is just as much liquor
sold and just as much drunk
enness as ever. In order to compen-
safe for the revenue lost by the en-
actment of prohibitory law, dry
goods merchants are taxed $500 each
a year; grocers, $3.50; physicians,
800, and street railways $500 per
year and $50 additional for each car
