got charter from the State of Virginia
She interested Edward Everett in it.
who agreed to deliver course of lectures
as nucleus for fund to buy it. These
lectures were brilliantly successful. Mr.
Everett turned over s6S, 5000 to the asso'
citation. Other contributions flowed in,
and at last the house and 200 acres OF
land were bought for 100000. The
original Mount Vernon tract, when ii
was called the Hunting Creek estate,
comprised 5000 acres, but it had
dwindled in the course of years.
The association is governed by one
regent, who is appointed for life, and
every State in the Union has a vice
regent. The last are selected, if possible,
from the descendants of Revolutionary
families. The place is maintained by a
fee of so cents charged every passenger
who lands at Mount Vernon. The asso-
citation lets the contract for carrying pas
sengers to steamboat company, which
makes daily trips. The fare is 81, which
includes the entrance fee to the house
and grounds. But the feeling is general
and is loudly expressed that no admis-
sion fee at ali ought to be charged and
the government should be the owner.
This viii eventually work change. The
management has done much for the
place, but the authority of the regent Is
absolute, the appointment OF the vice
regents arbitrary and things conducted
generally in shpshod way. Once a
year, in the month Of May, these ladies
meet at Mount Vernon. They spend a
week there and on Sunday they attend
Pohick Church, whic1 was General
WaShington's parish church and st in
the Washington pew. They look over
the accounts-but there is no real super
vision, the regent, Mrs. MacaGster
Laughton, who lives in Washington, be-
ing virtually supreme-and then go home
and see Mount Vernon no more until the
next May. It is obvious that this plan
cannot long last. Some years ago a
charter was granted a company to build
railroad from Washington to Mount
Vernon. Lately the project has been
actively revived. When that is built and
the time of visit brought within two
hours instead of five hours, as it is at
present, and greater crowds attend, the
Ladies Mount Vernon Association Will
be thing of the past.

of ones likes or dislikes. Each year the
number of women who must earn their
own living increases, to say nothing Of
those who choose to be Independent.
Teaching has always been regarded as
one of the most genteel ways open to
them for sef-support. Itgivesa better po-
sition in society, presupposes a good
education and the bringing up OF Lady.
The salary may be small, but it is GER
tain. Then, too-a thing to be regretted
"a large number of the girls who be-
come teachers do not look upon it as g
life work, but only a temporary make
shift which will not affect their position
in society until they marry. The conse-
quences or possibilities of long years of
such wear and tear does not enter into
their calculations. With youth and
energy, probable drain upon the ner7-
Gus forces often counts but little.
Besides this, to the earnest teacher
there are pleasures in her work that
physic pain. The feeling that she is
opening new worlds to young minds,
that she is showing them much that is
worth living for, that she is teaching
them to become strong, brave men sue
cess, it is necessary for parents to give
her their confidence and sympathy, to
regard her as their friend and helper and,
while demanding of her the best work
that can be given, treat her not as the
hireling hardly worthy OF her hire, but
with the respect and consideration due
to one who has the highest interests Of
their children in her charge

resumed his duties as its Perkins profes-
sor about the middle of last December:
that eleven students were dismissed and
Dr.. Girardeau has resigned. Therefore,
in view of these facts, especially the small
number Of students and the large amount
expended in training them, your com
mittee recommend the following:
Resolved, That this Assembly recon-
mend the four Svnods controlling that
seminary to suspend it for the present
until the Providence Of God shall indi-
cate that it should be opened again

Addresses were made by Drs. Mosely,

sion was devoted to the discussion of
home missions.

THE CARE OF MOUNT VERNON.
Wha. One south Carolina Woman Has Don
For the Place.

For the Place.
Mount Vernon is the property Of the
Ladies Mount Vernon Association-an
association that saved it to the country,
but which must inevitably transfer it to
the government, as the people Of the
whole country, not a mere organization,
should be the owners of the home of
Washington. The property was left by
Washington to his nephew, Judge Bush
rod Washington, and descended finally
to Colonel John Washington. In 1859
Colonel Washington, whose affairs were
very much embarrassed, was forced to
sell. Congress, with strange stupidity,
took no account of the place, and it was
left to woman to save Mount Vernon
from the autionee1 hammer. This
woman, Pamela Cunningham, was from
South Carolina. She had been an in
valid, well nigh bed-ridden, all her life
since her eighteenth year. When the
news of the proposed sale reached her
she conceived the plan OF rescuing the
place. She applied first to Congress,
but Congress would do nothing. Then
from her sick bed she organized the
Ladies Mount Vernon Association and

MiXNELL'S CONFESSION.
He Admits all the Essential Facts Testified 10
by Other Witnesses, but Claims that His Mo-
tive was not Murder.

| by Other Witnesses, hut CLAIMS That silS Mo
tive was not Murder.
Maxwell, the alleged murdere4 o
Preller, has testified in his own behalf
His recital of his personal history show:
that he has been accurately traced in al
his movements. his account corroborat.
ing all witnesses who have Testified
against him, except the detective who
was in prison with him. He gave his
name as Hugh Maxwell Brooks, aged %,
born in England. His account Of the
death of Preller is identical with his con-
fession published a few days ago. He
had studied medicine, but had no license
to practice as physician. He had
treated Preller for trihing ailments pre-
vious to coming to st. Louis, and at
Preler's own request undertook to re-
move structure. Preller was the con-
senting party to the use Of chloroform,
and the case was one which might and
does sometimes occur in any physician S
practice Preller died from the effects
of the drug while under treatment. Max
well says his mistake was in not report
ing the circumstance at once, but he was
in strange land, ignorant of the Gus
toms, and unaware that his report would
serve him had he made it. Besides this
he was in great grief over the death Of a
,,,,,, 4o ,,.l,o,,, 1,a ,,-,c ,,,,,ob o4toobo1 ar
friend. In this state of mind the
thought occurred that he must hide the
body and get away. He then packed it
in trunk, as described, and took what
money he found in Preller's trousers,
about $500. He made number Of pur-
chases and drank a great deal before
leaving for California
Questioned by his counsel: ''What do
you know about piece of paper, read
ing, so perish all traitors to the great
cause?'"
The prisoner: II wrote it. Ny idea
was that the authorities would find it
and that it would puzzle them until an
autopsy should be held.
Counsel: "Was it your idea to delay
them while you were getting away"
Prisoner: eyes
Counsel: ''Did you do anything else
with the same object in view?''
Prisoner: eyes. I shaved off the
mustache. >
Counsel: ssCan you tell how that cut
came upon his breast"
Prisoner: eyes. l did it with seal
pei, but can assign no reason for it. %
Counsel: Had you, when you ad-
ministered that chloroform, any inten-
ton of killing Preller?"
Prisoner: II had not, sir" (Thc pris-
oner spoke loudly and emphatically.)
Counsel: Had you any intention Of
injuring him."
Prisoner: II had not, sir.
sCounsel: .sOf doing him any bodily
harm?'
Prisoner: "No."
The rest Of the testimony was taken
up with his trip to San Francisco, some
of the events which occurred, and his
explanation Of some of the big stories
which he told about himself on his trip
to that city.

ADVICE TO LABORERS.


Meanwhile my brotherly counsel is
to three classes Of laborers: First, to
those who are at work; stick to it He
who gives up work now will probably
give it up for starvation. Second, to
those who have resigned work; it is best
for you and best for everybody to go
back immediately. Those viii make the
most out of the present almost universal
strike who go first to work. Third, 70
those who have been a long time out of
work; go now and take the vacated
places. Go in and take those places a
million and a half strong. My sentiment
Is full liberty for all who want to strike
to do so and full liberty for all who want
to take the vacated places. Other IN
dustries will open for those who are now
taking a vacation, for we have only
opened the outside door of this cont
nent end there is room in this country
for eight hundred million people and for
each one Of them home and liveh-
hood and God. am not scared bit.
The storm Will hush.
'sWorhngmen of America, your first
step toward betterment of condition will
be an assertion of your individual inde-
pendence of dictation Of your fellow
workmen. Do not let any man or any
body of men tell you where you shall
work or where you shall not work, when
you shall work or when you shall not
work. If man wants to belong to O
labor organization, let him belong. If
he. does not want to belong to labor
organization, let him have perfect liberty
to stay out. I belong to a ministerial
association. I have right to resign my
passionate and say, I am going. Good
bye But have no right, after I have
quit this pulpit, to inger around the
doors on Sunday mornings and evenings
with shotgun to intimidate or hinder
the minister who comes to take my
place Laughter
s:This day I declare the mutual de-
pendence of labor and capital. Smite
society at any one point and You snite
the entire community. Relief will come
to the working classes of this country
through better understanding between
capital and labor, through cooperative
associations, through discovery on the
part of employers that it is best for them
to let their employees know just how
matters stand, and through the religious
rectifcation of the country. Labor is
appreciated and rewarded Just in proper
tion as country is Christianized. Oul
religion / democratic religion.

rolumh.a Daily re.cra. N:v . !


Yesterday afternoon Il representative OF
THE RECORD went up the Grecnvill: road,
about eight miles. where the workmen are
busy repairing the damage caused by the
recent frcshet. Though much work has
been accomplished in the past week the cyl
dences of the fearful destruction that this
road met with are still visible and gives the
observer some idea Of the vast power of
natures forces as compared with the lnslg
niticant works of man. From near the
eight mile post TO Aston. seventeen miles,
the track is so badly damaged us to Dcc'' i
tate rclaying, and L quarter of mile will
be trcS;lework More than two hundred
liborcrs are at work under the supervision
of Mr.. r. Sorthgate. Assistant Engineer of
the road, and everything possible is being
done TO expedite the work of repairing.
The entire road force Of trackmcn, trcstlc
builders and bridge carpenters OF the Co,
lumbia and Greenville Road, and forces
from the Charlotte, Columbia and Augusta,
Air Line and Richmond and Danvillc
Roads are concentrated between Columbia
and Aston, and Notwithstanding the large
force engaged it is thought that fully two
weeks more will elapse before trains can
pass over the road. 1t is estimated that the
cost of repairs will reach $50, 900, not in
Guiding the large revenue the company
loses daily by their non-ability to run trains
About $l00 per day is required to pay those
engaged in the work of repairing.
In consequence Of the unlocked for eX'
traordinary work the date Of changing the
gauge of the main line Of tie Columbia
and Greenville Road, which WIS to have
been done June s, will very likely have to
be postponed to Il later date There are
several trcstlcs and considerable OF the
roadbed on the Spartanburg, Union and
Columbia Railroad washed away, and ou1
representative was informed that it would
probably be about July 1st before trains
can run 10 Spartanburg The SpMtanbur@
Road will be repaired and the gauge
changed at the same time.
This washup makes the third time that
this particular portion Of the Grecnvillt
Road has met with similar fate, the same
thing having occurred in 1852 and again il
| 1865. One of the section masters supcrin
tending the present work says that he
helped TO repair the damage caused by tho
freShct Of 1865 and the same process has tt
be gone through with now that was ncccS
sarv then. In few more decades he vii
probably become reconcilcd to these aquatic
invasions and be an authority as to5the bes
methods Of repairing the damages they
cause.

DIR. TALMAGE on LABOR.
A Sermon Discussing the Absorbing Question
OF the Day.

The announcement that Dr.. Talmage
was about to discuss the absorbing Ques-
lion of labor and capital drew to the
Brooklyn Tabernacle last Sunday morn
ing an immense throng of people from
all classes OF society. Scores were turned
away, being unable to get within the
vestbule. In the audience sat many
prominent Knights of Labor, and it was
evident from their looks that they were
in sympathy with some Of the preachers
remarks. After the congregation had
sung the hymn, :'Arm of the Lord,
awake! awake" DR.. Talmage expounded
a number of passages of Scripture. His
sermon is the beginning of a series OF
labor topics Among the subjects to be
treated are: ':The Battle for Bread, y
''The Rights of Capital and Labor, %
s'The Hardships OF the Working Classes, %
ssHow Employers and Employees Ought
to Treat Each Other" and ''The Great
est Foe of Labor.
THE CHAOS OF ANARCHT.
s.That labor has grievances I will
plainly show before I get through this
course of sermons. That capital has had
outrages committed upon it Will make
evident beyond dispute. I do not under
rate the peril of those times. The ten
dency is toward revolution. The labor
quarrel is hemispheric-aye, a world
wide quarrel, and the whole tendency IS
toward anarchy. One way in which We
may avoid anarchy is by letting the peo
pie know what anarchy is. It IS the
abolition Of the right OF property. 1t
makes your store, and your house, and
your money, and your family mine and
mine yours. It is wholesale robbery. It
means no law, no church, no defence, no
rights, no happiness, no God. There is
too much good sense dominant in this
country to permit anarchy. Within SIX
months there viii be a kindlier under
standing between labor and capital than
has ever been known in this country.
They have demonstrated as never before
their absolute dependence upon each
other.
