tured is gentleman in his relations with his
wife and daughters man who is gentleman
among strangers, but is sefsh, uncivl and un-

evidence of a noble manhood crops out at every

citizen late at night he declined to give positive
answer until he had consulted both his wife and

LULU HURST AT HOME.
Having Lifted Mortgage She Will Remain
in Private Life.


in Private Life.
Charleston News and Courier
The people of Charleston who saw Lulu Hurst
during her visit to this city, and who were so
much puzzled by her strange and inexplicable
powers, will be glad to hear of the Georgia won
der again. 1t appears that she is at her home
not married to the professor. as was supposed
but still attracting the attention of the boys of
north Georgia. Papa and Mamma Hurst were
seen driving into Rome the other day, in hand
some buggy, behind pair of prancing bays. A
reporter of the Rome Bulletin interviewed them
and inquired about Miss Lulu.
'Oh, she Is well, thank you," said Mrs Hurst,
land just as happy as she can be to get back
home again. We were afraid she would be
restless and not content to settle down at our
country home after travelling so much But she
appears more fond of home than ever"
us there any truth in the rumor that she has
lost her power~
I'VE are not aware Of the fact" replied Mr..
Hurst ''The last time she gave an exhibition
which was to crowded house in Knoxville, the
exhibition entirely satisfactory. We never
test it at home because l do not intend for Lulu
to travel any more"
"How much have you made on Miss Lulu's
exhibitions, Mr. Hurst2'
There was jolly twinkle in the old gentle
mans frank blue eyes when he answered. That's
what all the boys want to know. / am satisfied
with the result of the exhibitions for Lulu GER
taln!y lifted that mortgage off of our home
while she was lifting around editors, senator's
Governors and congressman. We are all at home
now to remain. / want you to come out and
spend couple of days with u.s."
1t is thought that after paying off the mort
gage on her fathers farm Miss Lulu had
snug little bonus of about So, 900 on which to
retire from the stage.

Keely's Sieight-of- Hand Performances.
NEoeh h,

asnlngton Letter.
Philadelphia capitalist who is here says that
If the true life of Keely. the motor man, could
be written it would prove to be one of the most
romantic stories OF imposture ever known. He
says that several years ago. when Keelv's great
claims began to be talked about in Philadelphia,
he made an investigation for his own satisfac-
ton into Keely's past. He thought that he
could judge better by his record as man than
by trying to talk with Keey about his mystic
rious motor. He found that just before coming TO
Philadelphia he was performer in a circus, and
that he had nearly all of his life made a precar-
ious living by performing sleght-of hand tricks.
He is a man CT no education, and is absolutely
destitute OF any scientific requirements. He says
that Keeiy has gone to work. however, very
skillfully and has learned the iargon of an ex-
tensive scientific vocabulary. He has about
eight hundred of these words and phrases at bis
tongues end and he can turn the head of tie
average scientist by the rapidity and certainty
with which he losses these words and phrases
into his general conversation. Keely has one
gift, he says, which is great enough to be called
genius, and that is his skill in humbugging peo-
pie. He has great power, by mere talk. of setting
aside all doubt as to his ability. and to impress
people to let him have money in the most reck
lessly confident way Nearly all of his present
hackers arc New York people. Every now and
then these hackers become respondent and get
together and go over to Philadelphia Then
MIR. Keey gets up sleight-of hand performance
for them, talks to them in his peculiarly gifted
way, and the trusting capitalists go back buoyed
up with hope. fully confident that they are back
ing of the great inventors of the age.

any other dividend upon the capital invested in
the shape of occasional sleightof hand perform
