MINOR MENTION.

A 'NoTED American woman writer name not
given, is quoted as saying that the day has gone
by when dotted white muslin was the only ap-
propriate material for the sweet girl students
graduating gown. Now that these young women,
she says, are doing strong, earnest work, their
graduation stands for more, and they should
adopt dress of a stronger type" than ''simple
white" This gifted writer negects to mention
what type of dress she regards as properly char
acteristic of the modern girl graduates high abil
tiles, but it may be inferred that black broad
cloth would about fill her idea. This, it is true,
would conflict with the oft-repeated assertion
that the woman who seeks the higher education
loses more OF her attractive feminine qualities,
but if garb must be chosen to match powerful
mind nothing can be found equal to the one men
toned. Nothing in the way of clothes sc i'm
presses the beholder with the sense that he is in
the presence of a majestic intellect as the sight
of an individual arrayed in broadcloth.
A LovE-sIcK man at Reading, Pa, committed
suicide because his best girl got tired of him and
would not complete the contract to marry him.
He left note bidding her goodbye, and ex-
pressing the hope that he would reach that
heaven peopled with women as sweet as she.
and. as if this were not enough, he advises her
to marry if she ever meets q man whom she
loves better than himself. This last was super
fuous. The young lady will undoubtedly attend
to that matter without prompting.

GREENLAWN'S SILENT INHABITANTS.
The Grave of Governor Whitcomb in Gene
terry 0yercrOwded with Dead.

Through wastes of weeds and briars, vines and
tangled grass, Journal reporter followed Robert
Turner the old colored sexton of Greenlawn
Cemetery from one sunken grave and crumbling
monument to another. 81 do think" said the
old sexton, who has been gathering them in for
many a year, that over hundred thousand
bodies have been buried here The graves have
been very close, and the same ground has been
used, suppose, over and over again"
The oldest graves for the most part, are IN the
southwest portion of the yard. The bones of
1900 Confederate prisoners, who died in hospi
tails here during the time that Camp Morton was
used as a prison camp, lie closely together In
section of the north part of the cemetery. But
one of the graves is marked. 1t has small,
white stone at the head, upon which IS engraved
the Masonic emblem of the square and COM
passes, and the inscription, IN. F. Reed born
May, 16, 1829 died June II, 1863"
On child's grave were seen small sled and
a toy wood saw, rusted and rotten and fallen to
pieces. They were put there said the old
man, when the grave was made, about seven
years ago. There was touch of tenderness
even in the voice of the old sexton, familiar as
he was with death, as he looked upon the little
grave and the playthings with which the loved
one would never more make merry
The grave most inquired after by visitors is
that o. Governor Whitcomb. 1t is near the
northeast end of the cemetery in lot twenty
two by twenty seven feet, inclosed with an iron
fence. There is no other grave in the lot 1t Is

A STRANGE BEGGAR.
A Man Who Professionally Solicits Charity
in Very Dramatically Uttered Latin.

A short time ago Father Alerding, of st.
Josephs Church, was called to his door by a ring
of the bell. he found there man past middle
age, not badly dressed in a semi clerical garb,
who. with downcast countenance very humbly
presented paper. The beggar, for such he
was could speak only French and Latin, and the
paper was in the latter language 1t said in
substance: ssFather, I am the poorest of the
poor. / apply to you in the name God May
He reward YOU" The appeal closed with the
somewhat novel promise, Il shall call upon you
not more than once year"
Daily calls for charity are made upon the
clergy, and Father Alerding, having, as he
thought. worthier objects nearer home. politely,
but firmly, refused to contribute. At this the
visitor shook off his humbleness, and lifting his
face, bis eyes dilatine and fairly flashing he
4ointed his forefnger directly at The priest. and,
