ANOTHER BELL.

Poets VI old in verses untold
Have sung oft their praises Of bells,
AS their tones clear and bright
In the dead of the night
Have trembled in musical swells
The bell in the tower that notes every hour
The bell calls loudly to church
Or the merriest of all, the sleigh-bells' glad
call
But there's one they've left out in ths
lurch.
The music so sweet that youth loves to greet
The marriage bells toning in glee-
Or the sweet evening bells,
Whose soft welcome swells
As the twilight dims meadow and tree; =
The fierce angry bells whose piercing clang
tells
OF the Fire Kings power untold,
Or the deep solemn note from the funeral
bells throat
But there's one they've left out in the cold
Its musical chimes in no bards or rhymes
Have been made to the memory dear;
Nor e'er did muse tell
| OF this wonderful bell
! Whose paeans are heard far and near;
Like lark in the morn its clear tones are
borne
From the first to the fourth or fifth floor,
And its musical tune is again heard at noon-~>
'Tis the old dinner bell, nothing more.

An American Deer Park.

There are now four hundred and fifty
deer in General Harding's park, six
miles from Nashville, Tenn. Notwith-
standing the Harding family's love for
yenison and the large number of friends
frequently supplied with the delicacy,
the herd increases rapidly. At the close
of the war it numbered but sixty head.
The park has four hundred and twenty
five acres and has many foxes within
its bounds. General Harding, now ninety
yerrs old, possesses a grand farm OF
a, 700 acres.

A STRANGE HALLUCINATION.
How to Climb the Political Ladder
Squandering an Estate on

Gently took out commission de lunaticO
to inquire into the condition of his broth
er, Eugene E. Austin, and his father,
Charles Austin. The petition states that
both are of unsound mind, the son be-
ieving himself to be eminently fitted for
craftsmanship, while the father is squan-
dering the family estate in aiding the son
to realize his insane ideas. Instances are
cited of foolish extravaganza. One was

in 1878, where he made speech before
a large assemblage, advocating himself
as the workingman'8 candidate for as

moved his coat and waistcoat, at the sug-
gestiOn of some fun lover, to show that
he was horny -fisted son of toll. The
four-in-hand brass band, hall and numer-
GUS etceteras were all settled from the
family purse. In 1880 pilgrimage was
made to Mentor, Ohio, to visit Garfield
regarding foreign appointment, which
he had been caused to believe was to be
given him, which expense was liquidated
by the father. This year he had been
made to consider the vice presidency on
the republican and democratic tickets his

always expected to be liquidated at the

liberality was the politicians stronghold,
the money flew rapidly. A couple of
tramps from Canada were hired to work
large farm belonging to the father, and
they represented they were friends of a
rich lady in the dominion, daughter of
Lord Halford and an heiress, and that
she was enamored of Eugene, after a
meeting, unknown to him. at Buffalo.
This induced the father to furnish means
whereby the tramp should visit Canada
and negotiate for the celebration of the
nuptials. Large amounts were expend-

was simply a fraud and swindle to secure
money. To stranger "Hon." Eugene

Editor PALATKA NEWS:
While distance divides us goographi-
cally yet the current of memory flows
constantly. To-day is Saturday, and the
hour is near 3 p. M, and | am north
west of you some fifteen hundred miles,
being on the southwestern border of the
inland sea called Lake Michigan and
seven miles south of the postoffice of
Chicago.
| am attending Colonel Francis W.
Parker's Summer Institute, with about
one hundred and fifty other teachers
from all sections sof this big country,
who evidence liberty and progress in
thought. At Madison, Wis, at the Ma
tional Educational Association, | was
impressed with tho breadth, thorough
ness and charity of thought as shown by
say five thousand educators. The en-
tertainment shown our association was
most elegant, and that gem of a city
nestles on the hills and wales amid woods
and grasses, between the lovely lakes
| Mendoza on the north and Monona on
the south. Children in geography will

are about mile apart, and Madison on

The weather here has been hot, but
now it is cool. We have just had a
elbow" which shook trees, houses and
myself. I saw others getting near the
doors on the ground floor and | did the
the same, too-perhaps [ should say that
up here it "cyclones sometimes, hence
| the caution [ reckon.
The water we get is pumped from
Lake Michigan, a mile and half out
and from the bottom of the lake, and
some say it is pure, while others say how
can it be SO? Reasons thath it is said
to be pure Lake Michigan is made by
springs, rain and surface infows with
one outlet at the northern end, a mile
| wide, with an average rate of three miles
miles of surface. SO much for the water
| supply and deficit. Now notice the fact
| that the fifth of a million people on the
banks finds it way directly or indirectly
into Lake Michigan, and no matter from
where in Lake Michigan Chicago pumps
her supply of water, it must be from the
impure pond" Perhaps you ask, Has
it made you sick? My reply is this ::
Chicago has had two political conven-
tions this summer, and the sick people
learn to stand it or die off, and I don't
expect to do either after two weeks from

What 1T Costs the Croesuses to Live
at the Gay Summer Capital.
The list of notabilities at Long Branch,
according to the Philadelphia Times. has
been increased by the addition of the
names of President Zaldivar, of the Re-
public of Salvador; Jacob Baiz, consul
general of Salvador and Guatemala the
MARQUIS de Leuville and the future mar
chioness, Mrs. Frank Leslie. They are
living in one of the West End cottages,
place affected by people who have plen
ty of money and are willing to expend it
lavishly for the privilege of living apart
from people who have not interminable
bank accounts. They have three of the
most expensive apartments. They pay
for their rooms $50 day, and in addi-
tion So day for the stabling of pair of
high-stepping bays, not to estimate the
cost of prim English coachman and
the Marquis French valet, who sleeps
somewhere in the outer world. How
ever, as Mrs. Leslie has $4,000 year
from the business which she rescued from
chaos, expense counts for little. The
marquis is more than six feet tall and
proportionotely broad. He paints and
writes poetry and speaks several Ian
guages.
Mrs. Leslie's immediate neighbors are
the family of Harvey Kennedy, the mill
lionaire broker of New York, who pay
$3.50 a week "Plunger'' Walton and his
daughters, who were at first thought to
number one hundred-they seemed to be
so much around-but settled down at

self and her little son J. B. Lippincott,
the publisher, of Philadelphia, and his
family, who pays $3.50; Alfred G. Ba-
ker, the aggressive president of the
Academy of Music, whose family cost
him for their choice apartments S400 a

York brewer, who pays $500. Russell
