to be at fault IN respect to this
pure and modest girl. At the Ulym-

derson was present last week, we read
that "lorgnettes were focused for one
common center, eye glasses stood in
one direction, and the comedy lady
was steadfastly gazed at with per-
sistence that almost bordered on rude
ness. Her beauty was the cause Of
fervid comment OF the men and guard

the performance was over, the exits

pleasure of closer view, and audible
whispers Of praise we're on nsarly eve. y

THE BEAUTIFUL LUNATIC.
Clever Actors Taught a Clever
Lesson tn Clever Acting.
Nav York Sum.

On Thursday Messrs. George Clarke,
Ton Whiffen, Professor Lemoyne, OF
crematory fame, Colonel Fraukau, one
Daniel Frohman and several others of
the "Rajah" troupe at the Madison
Square Theater, visited Blaokwell's
Island with Commissioner Hess.
While they were il Ward 3 of the
lunatic asylum, = remarkably pretty
girl threw her arms around Mr..
Clsrke's neck, and sobbed, "0h, my
husband, oh, my husband take me
away take me home"
The nurse vainlg tried to recall
her to herself. Clarke. turned pale.
Her sobbings increased. He gently
unwound her arms from his neck,
saying in soothing tones: That's all
r fright my good girl. Be cawlm, be
cawlm."
He gently backed himself into the
hall aud then ran like deer. he was
stopped By the Hon. Arthu: D. Wil>
liams, who urged MIN to go back and
humor the poor gil, assuring him
that his flight had excited all the In
natics in the ward. He turned back
as white as a sheet, the perspiration
trickling from his brow. An affecting
scene followed. He assured the girl
that he would see that she was re
leased. Her paroxysms increased, and
she chung to him with more fervor
thsn ever. The "Rsjah" troupe were
deeply affected. All the ladies sobbed
Tom Within murmured, what a
pity, and one Daniel FrOhman wept
aloud.
Finally two nurses got the girl
under control. She babe the actors
adieu, after Clarke had promise d
her some ice cream. AS the party
reached the open air Clarke moral
lied thus; Poor girl, poor girl!'
We call ourselves actors, but there is
no acting after all that approaches
reality" The incident was the topic
of commissioning conversation during
the afternoon. The "Rsjah" troupe
have sent the unfortunate girl baskets
of fruit and other delicacies.
They we're eaten by Mrs. McGlynp
an instructess Of the lunatcism and
other accomplishments. at, Commis
sioner Hess suggestion she availed
herself of the opportunity TO give the
actors and actresses, including one
Daniel Frohmsn, lesson in their OWL
art From the inception of the farce
to its enline the real luDstics in the
ward we're in ecstseies. They seemed
to thoroughly understand the situa.
ton.

The south as a Summer Resort

The South as q Summer Resort.
Cincinnati Commercial Gazette, q. /
The old saying commonly used by
lovers of the flowing bowl" in apollo
gy for frequent bumpers" at any and
all seasons of the year, viz: I'm
winter it keeps the cold out, and in
summer it keeps the heat out" can
we'll be applied to numerous districts
OF the Southern States, where resorts
for both winter aud summer tourists
are found at the same place, upon the
same plane, in the same valley, and
upon the same mountain top There
was a time, and it was not many years
since, when the American summer
tourist knew of no place in which to
seek the cool Of the evening or hide
from the summers sun other than the
famous resorts Of the East. 1t was
then, too, that only those upon whom
fortune had bestowed its smiles, that
we're able to leave their homes and be
refreshed at the summer resorts.
With the advent Of rapid railroad con-
struction in all directions of the coun7
try, penetrating new territory, followed
by rapid transit and comfortable means
Of travel, the old watering places of the
East found new and formidable rivals
springinR up at the smaller lakes and
in the mountains.

ANOTHER HUGE ENTERPRIsE.
The Lady EnsIey Mining and
Manufacturing Company.
BIRMINGHAM Age.


1t is not generally known, but one
of the most stupendous enterprises
ever inaugurated in Alabama is the
Lady Ensley mining and manufactur
ing company. This company was or,
ganized several months ago with a
capital Of 100000. The stockholderO
were Enoch Ensley, Napoleon Hill
and N. Fontaine, Memphis; Samuel
Prichett, of Nashville; l.. W. Johns,
Of Pratt Mines, and VIM. A. Gould of
Dudley, Ala. Quietly and before the
outside world knew it, they possessed
themselves of rs, 1000 acres Of the finest
mineral lands in North Alabama, and
have already commenced operations,
Mr.. Gould with a large party Of
miners under him, having charge Of
opening a shaft down to the coal at
their first opening in Franklin county.
The lands of this company are located
in Franklin, Colbert and Marion
counties. They estimate their coal
lands at $4,000 acres, and their ore
lands at $4,000 acres. The ore is
brown hematite and the coal is what
is known as "splint" coal, that is, the
largest vein, being Of that variety.
This coal has been analysed, and it is
said to be superior to the famous splint
coal of Scotland, containing about
seventy per cent of fixed carbon, while
the Scotch has only about sixty. seven
per cent, The chief value and useful
ness of this ceal is that it will make
ron without coking, which is a very
important item in iron manufacturing
in Alabama. The finest limestone in
the world surrounds their iron ores.
1t yields ninety eight per cent of car
Donate Of lime. They have also found
the outcrop of a vein of black band
ore, which yields eighty per cent of
metallic iron. This is equal to the
black band ore found in the splint coal
in Scotland.
The company will con6ne its opera.
lions to coal and ore mining, but will
build two large blast furnaces near
Russellsville, where they will have
ample water power to run all the ma
chinery around the furnaces. The
furnaces and mines will be directly on
the line of the Birmingham and
Northwestern railroad. A branch
line is being surveyed to the Tennes-
see river, near Florence, which will
enable them to ship their products by
steamers to New Orleans, St. Louis
| Cincinnati and even to Pittsburg, at
cheaply as any other concern in the
world would dare to attempt.
The shaft Mr.. Gould is sinking will
not be less than 200 feet deep, What
is marvellous, they will 90 through
seven or eight veins of coal, varying
from two and half to six feet il
thickness. Neither money nor labor
will be spared to make this a mode
mine. Mr.. L, W. Johns, to whom thu
Pratt mines owe their fame, will set
that the mining be skillfully and per
| fectly done.
From what we could learn from one
of the owners of the property, nj
regular organization has yet beer
made, but we are reliably informed
that Colonel Ensley will be mad,
President and i. W. Johns Superin

Qua able eOtemporary Of the Nash

Our able eOtemporary of the Nash
vile Banner is hard to please and
quick to find fault with anything done
under or in connection with the Bate
administration. The political bilious
ness of last fall has not been entirely
eliminated. The pastime of chronic
opposition may afford pleasure. and
really does very little good or harm
between seasons. Henry Ward
Beecher once said that people often
imagine they are religious when they
only have dyspepsia. So it may be
with newspapers that imagine they
have a great corrective and cathartiC
mission. Some recent casual remarks
of the LEDGER drew out quite hom'
lily from our neighbor in defence Of
Hon. D. B. Cooper citizen Of Tennes'
see who left about the time of Colonel
NJ. T. Folks departure but got further
and remained longer. In fact is still
absent. If Colonel Cooper needed nj
defense or explanation of this coin
cidency there was no use Of making
any. IF he did need it then it ough
to have been made by some Of hi
friends. The Banner calls for names o
"sky blues" who should be looking
through prison bars if they had thei
just deserts" and alleges that whole
sale onslaught has been made on thi
class, which was certainly not intend
ed or expressed, for, as we have Oftel
said, many Of them are excellen
citizens although misled and wronI
in their position. That there was an
amount Of corruption aud debAueh
cry and that its fumes fairly filed th
sir around the capital when the lOO-'
bill was forced through, but VI
never heard any one deny. 1t va

the State debt and fasten it on thr
people at the expense Of State pre-
rogativs for ninety nine years. Thi
measure was coneoete3 IN New Yori

body at this late day who hss tancJ
