her sons choice of an insignificant Miss
Gray was trial. She asked Lillian to
come and visit her at Tradegar Castle,
and 1t was on the question of this visit
that the first little rift occurred in my dar-
ling's life. It happened in this way.
Colonel Tradegar was painfully anxious
as to the impression Lillian should make
on his family. He harped upon this
string SO much as to offend my high
spirited sister.

"You would surely like ny moth9r

"Ofcourse ; but I do not care to be put

My dear spoke with flush upon her
cheek, and |, who knew her so well,

COlOred Teachers Institute.

The Colored Teachers Institute
met at the First Baptist church at
9:15 Saturday morning, Aug. %.
AS several of the teachers came in
on the 21st, expecting to meet at 3
p. m. of said day, and as the presiN
dent was not present and the teachers
had to fnd homes, we concluded to
not have a meeting until night. All
went to their respective homes expect
ing to meet at the First Baptist
church at 8 p. M, when, to our sur
prise, We found that the brother dea-
cons would not think of letting us
have the church; thereby it was inns
possible to have a meeting, and as the
program was thus far dispensed with,
we found it useless to take it up at
TINS Juncture. A motion was maze
that the program be entirely dis
pensed with. The president pro tenn.
left the meeting to the teachers to do
as thought best.
Miss Dixie Williams spoke in ia
vor Of not letting the meeting die out.
Prof. Midget spoke with the same ia
vor, and they were followed by other
speakers. The president suggested
that we appoint place and time for

moved and carried that we meet in

it is expected that others will soon follow

The crowd Of miners that gathered around
tie station and company store at Scott
Haven this morning looked anything but
homeless and forlorn. 1t was rumored that
to-day the notices Of the company given to
the tenants of their houses to yacate would
be carried ou., with the effect
that by it over one hundred
houses would be emptied Of their
occupants, and that there would be
trouble about the little mining town Of Scott
Haven. To-day the miners are in their
houses as usual The notices were not en-
forced, and everything about the place was
as quiet as if it were Sunday. Several hun.
dred men were gathered about the station
this morning when the managers arrived at
l0oclock They were quiet and orderly
and apparently have little fear Of the order
being carried out. If the company insists
upon their leaving they will 90 quietly.

A sedalia Hotel Burned.

SEDALIA, No, March 24-At 1890
o'clock this morning, FIRE broke out in the
laundry adjoining the Garrison House,
large twostory frame structure, and the
flames speedily communicated to the hotel,
which was almost destroyed. The house
was full of guests, all Of whom made their
escape. The furniture was also saved. The
passenger office and station Of the Missouri
Pacific and Missouri, Kansas and Texas
railways were located on the first floor of the
building. 1t was the oldest and best known
hotel in Sedalia, having been erected in
1864. The hotel was conducted by Geo. I.
Brown, and the building is the property OF
the railroad company. The house and its
contents are supposed to be fully insured.
