Just opposite the house and boathouse of

A sensation in Chnrch.



Jake Is q negro lunatic who has been In
the asylum number OF years. Being
perfectly harmless, be is given q good
deal Of liberty and often accompanies Mr..
Hobby 10 town in the asylum wagon,
when he invariably sits up, whether win
ter or summer, tanning himself with one
OF three or four fans that be carries with
him always. IL Is peculiarly ludicrous
TO see him sitting up in the wagon and
tanning himself in the coldest weather.
Rev. Mr.. Beck Is pastor Of the Baptist
church here, aud also chaplain Of tho
asylum. Last sunday evening Jake came
% town, and meeting our reporter told
bin he was going 20 Beck's church; that
Beck wouldn't come % the asylum sun
day morning. and he was going to Beckis
church. he missed the Baptist church,
however, and, going into the Methodist
church, took his seat ia pew where two
or three young ladies were sitting, aud
producing a piece at torn newspaper COM
menced singing. As for the young ladies'
ia the pew. they Of course became panic
stricken and left IL In hurry. There was
great sensation Ia the church OF course.
but some Of the brethren led Jake out aud
everything finally subsidized 70 its usual
state Of quietness.

A French-Canadian Bride
From HGrDeT'S for august.

EFOHt HuTOoI'6 JOF a dNHttSb.
At one OF the smaller landings, where
the boat did not usually stop unless sig
nailed, a man was seen standing gesticu-
latingIwildly. The Captain came forward
and. with an amused expression of coun-
tenance, informed the passengers that
he knew from the excited state the indi-
vidual was in that wedding party was
coming on board. And his prognostica-
tion was soon verified, for as soon as the
boat touched the landing a motley pro-
cessiOn came trooping dOwn--old and
young and middle-aged, from the infant
in arms to the aged couple, who, John
Anderson like, were tottering down The
procession was headed by the bride and
groom, the latter looking excessively un.
comfortable and out of place in his ''dress-
ed-up" condition; but the bride presented
great contrast to her new-made lord /;
her self-satisfaetion was supreme. AS
the Captain remarked, ''If you really
want to witness happiness and content
ment, you must see a French-Canadian
bride from the rural districts. She has
attained to the height of her ambition;
she is at last decked out in bridal fnery."
She went straight for the saloon after
coming on board, and looked round lit
tie nervously at first, then sat frigidly
down on the extreme edge of the nearest
bench, and cast down her eyes, as was
supposed in blushing modesty. But no;
it was not modesty; 1t was her shoes upon
which her admiring glances were di-
rected.
The rest of her costume was common
place, consisting of black dress of some
cheap material, which one of the ladies
designated as ''lustre." She wore a hat
trimmed with wreath of tawdry-looking
pink and blue artificial flowers, while
hOWQ Of VnllnU and tspaan rThhOp roIfaUad
the sOmbre hue Of the dress. But it re-
mained for the shoes to give the true bri-
dal character to this somewhat remarka-
bic toilet. They were Of white kid, low
cut, with huge roeettes on the instep.
Her pedal extremities, which were Of
rather colossal proportions, were aug.
mented by homf-knit wooden stockings,
which appeared just trifle incongruous.
Her husband soon joined her, and took
seat beside her, and as he sat speechless,
with his wiie's hand lying in his own, it
was supposed he too was lost in admira-
tion and wonder at the beauty of the Slip
pers. A half-hOur later found them in
the same position, with the bride still
casting loving glances at her feet. When
the newly-wedded pair left the boat they
were met by an old man and young girl,
who, by the way they embraced the
bridegroom, were set down as his father
and sister. The former took the bride
gently by the hand, who received them
with rigid stateliness. The girl timidly
YeDtured to kiss her newly-made sister.
The caress was passiyely permitted, not
returned, and afterward deliberately wip-
ed off with blue cotton pocket handlSer-
chief. The last seen of the kid shoes
they were almost invisible as their owner
trudged up steep sandy hill on a hot
August afternoon.

VIM. e. DODGE's LAND.
His Fathers Thousands of Acres In
Georgia Hardly Worth the Owning.

His Fathers Thousands of Acres In
Georgia Hardly Worth the Owning.
From the Ne,o York World.
The late William E. Dodge, OF this city,
was at one time a resident of Georgia,
where he acquired several thousand acres
of land, most of it in Dodge county, so
named in his honor. An action in eject
ment was brought Friday by the exc
cutors of Mr.. Dodge's estate In the United
States Court at Atlanta, Ga. through their
attorneys, against several parties who
have laid claim to parts of the land.
William K. Dodge, Jr., one the execu-
tors, said yesterday to a World reporter:
There is a great deal of the property, but
it's value is very doubtful. 1t is all yellow
pine land, and is worth perhaps 81 an
acre, but there are so many taxes TO pay
and so many suits about it have arisen,
that question whether it is worth own
ing. l know comparatively little of the
suits myself, excepting what my lawyers
tel me. They write thar some Massa-
chusetts man has bought up some
back to 1886. A morning paper
said that we were trying to dispossess
about seventy-ive squatters, and that
many of the men who will find themselves
ousted from their homes bought the
ground in good faith. This version of the
affair strikes me as being cruel, as our
lawyers say that the claimants are simply
trying blackmailing game upon u.s."
HAS your fathers title heretofore been
considered good, or are you bringing
claim to land which has been settled upon
under the supposition that it was open to
settlers!'
"Our titles have always been recog-
nlzed, and while some squatters may be
on the land, | know nothing of them."

PARNELL'S POLICY.
His Dublin Speech Severely Denounced by

His Dublin Speech Severely Denounced by
the Press of London.
LONDON, Aug 26.-Mr. Parnells Dublin speech
of yesterday has thoroughly aroused the Con-
servative press of England. The Times says
that no prudent politician can underrate the
Importance of the action taken by the Irish
Natonalists at their conference in Dublin. 'Mr
Parnelrs programme" continues the Times,
may, however, meet with fate similar to
that which befell O'Connell at time when
Irshmen were as confident as they are now
Mr.. Parnell demands the repeal of the Union, so
the Irish question is no longer question of
loyal self government. This might be acceded
to by England. which will never listen to plan
for the separation of Ireland"
The Standard says: "Mr. Parnell has de-
clared war 1t will be shame and disaster of
English statesmen if both parties fail to battle
him. We do not pretend to ignore the danger
to which the imperial unity is exposed. Mr.
Parnell now holds strong hand The late
Liberal majority in Parliament could afford to
ignore him, but it will be different in Paria-
ment evenly balanced between the two parties
Mr.. ParIell has, however, rivals by the score
of authority is. If both the Wings and Tories
make it clear from the outset that Mr.. Parnelrs
demand for home rule will be met with firm
opposition his influence will be doomed"
The News takes advantage of the excit ement
over Mr.. Parnells bold declaration for Irish
independ dence to exhibit the advantage which
large Liberal majority would be to the country
to oppose the Parnellite demands than the Con
seryatiyeS.
