"Buz" on the Belle Of Fountain.


The bully master Of this ere boat is
muchly akin to the elderly skipper OF
of the brig Nancy Jane. This old roos-
ter is the sure 'nough captain, mate
and pilot, always up at every landing,
and about decks when anything is go
ing on. The clerk is the general mana
ger OF her financial affairs, and he, you
bet, keeps his corner. The grub-pile
man is Jno. w. Rogers, no kin to the
fellow who was burned at the stake.
He is steward, chamber-horse, cabin
boy and cook, and began his nautical
career on the Dave in 1851. He has
grown gray in the service, but like I'M

can't quit.

damage tobacco interests. Mr. e. b.
Whitfield thought the tobacco interests
we're consulted exclusive OF other mer-
camille and manufacturing interests of
tho city, spoke strongly in favor OF ac-
cepting the G, & o's proposition and
called for an expression from mer-
chants and manufactures.
After lively discussion which was
participated in by several gentlemen,
Mr.. Daniel asked Mr.. Clark II he
thought through line competing with
the L. & N. would prove beneficial to
GAINESVILLE, Mr.. Clark replied That
depends. If it should have the effect Of
reducing through rates and increasing
local rates on the L. & N. he would re-
gard it as injurious to GAINESVILLE.
Mr.. Pat Sullivan thought the propos-
ed road would reduce price Of coal.
Mr.. Merritt stated that Gen. Eckles
had assured him that responsible mi
ner was ready to contrast for delivery
OF coal at GAINESVILLE for cts. per
bushel as soon as the road was complet-
ed.
The lowest rate at which GAINESVILLE
had been able to secure coal was II cts,
and the saving on this item alone would
more than repay the city for the out
lay required to secure the road.
Mr.. Owen moved "that it is the sense
OF this meeting that the proposition OF
the Chesapeake & Ohio ought to be ac-
cepted." This motion was carried al
most unanimously. Mr.. Daniel moved
that subscribers present sign contract
conveying their interests in the l. A. &
7. road to the Chesapeake & Ohio. In
response to this more than twenty sub
scribers signed the contract.
A motion was carried to appoint o
committee to present petition to the
city council, asking that the question
OF issuing bonds be put to the vote OF
the city.
H. G. Merritt, VIM. M. Daniel, A.
Howell and Henry Frech were appoint
ed this committee.
! John Hurst, Henry Frech, r. w,
Roach, G. B. Wilson, J. ]. Crusmar
and A. Howell were appointed com,
mittee to secure the signatures to the
contract of subscribers not present, at
ter which the meeting adjourned.
AT this writing, Wednesday evening
more than seventy names of subscriber
are signed to the contract and the com
mittee thinks there will be no difficult,
in the successful prosecution of thi!
part of the work in hand.

A Story Of Mary Anderson.

Washington Letter in Chicago Tribune.
Mary Anderson's first visit to Washington was

chief patron. She played at the old National
Theatre. John Mccullough acted Ingomar to
her Parthenia. They redeemed a wretched
play. Arriving at the close of the second act, l
went to friends box to which / had been in
vited. Regret was expressed at my lateness, as
Mary Anderson had spent the previous inter-act
in that box Rap. rap, came at the door. When
it opened there stood the peerless Greek maiden

stiff wooden chair, tipped it back against the

for it was seven years ago. Ever since this little
incident the "tom-boy" stories about Mary An
derson have seemed to me quite credible.

All writers Of letters this warning shosld take;
You're to be caught; you're to be caught;
You may think that no winds your opinions can
shake
But the future is full of its dangers unsought;
And some muggy morning you're sure to awake
To find that your views don't consist they
ought.
You may talk, but don't write your convictions for
then
You're sure to be caught; you're to be caught.
Use words of the mouth. for words OF your pen
Are most treacherous of expressing q
thought,
And have queer way of appearing again
To teach you lesson you should have been
taught.
A word that is written don't know when it's dead
You're sure to be caught; you're sure to be caught;
At times most unseemly tbs sure to be read
And to glory in mischief it's nature has wrought;
But the word that is spoken when echo has fed,
May be safely denied or a new setting bought

Measures for Relieving the Distressed Peas
antry Of England.

Chicago Tribune.
Scene in the Irish Parliament A. D. 1900
Bill for the relief of English distress under con-
sideration: Mr.. Healy-I would ask his Males
tvs Secretary of State for Home Affairs, what
measures have been taken to put down dis.
orders and relieve the distress now existing
among the English peasantry.
Mr.. OShea-Ever since the accession of his
Gracious Majesty Edward VII to the throne of
Ireland it has been his constant aim to do all he
could, with the assistance of his faithful Com
mons and the Irish nobility, to mitigate the dis
tress in that portion of the Irish empire. His
Majesty was in London during the fearful
riots in which that city was DESTROYED and
the power of the English nobility brokens
and is therefore fully aware of the distressfuE
condition OF that once powerful people or
course. his Majesty could never consent to the
absurd scheme of allowing an English Parlia-
ment to meet in that country, but the govern
ment will, before long. introduce bill to miti-
gate the evils of absenteeism, and to allow the
English peasantry to become possessors OF tho
land which they now till, SO largely owned by
the nobility, who now principally reside In Dub
lin. The Lord Lieutenant of England, Sir
O'Donovan Rosa, has already taken some steps
in that direction.
Mr.. Healy-I would also ask his Majestys
Secretary if any measures have been taken to
assist the very poor to emigrate.
Mr.. OShea-Under the personal direction OF
Sir Patrick Grove. the Secretary for Foreign Az
fairs one load was sent over yesterday to Amer
ica but were fired back by pneumatic tube the
same evening. The Hon. Patrick Ford, Lord
Mayor of New York city, would not even allow
them to land. In the United States. President
Lawler in his annual. message, stated that the
experiment of making policemen out of English
immigrants had been attended with the most dis
astrous results pleasantly remarking that while
the Irish drum-beat could be heard around the
world, the English beat should not be allowed on
the shores of America.
After few remarks from Mr. Healy. who said
that his sympathies were always with the people
who had no friends the House of Commons adj
iourned to attend a reception at Dublin Castle.

as they bought it are of the most limited
character, and their farms and buildings are
only noticeable for their unthrifty and untioy
appearance. Their present interest as a society
Is to be found entirely in the singularty of their
social life. They have no religion; they have
hardly political organization for the manage
ment OF their affairs; they have no defined
code OF morals, unless it is to be good. One Of
