"COME TO ME-"


Norris paid that proposed visit to his
uncle when he left the bankers home. He
found Amos Bergman deep in a study of

ADVICE to "Camners Out"

A writer in "Prophylactic, a Practical
Health Magazine, gives some seasonable
and sound advice to those attempting
camp life during their vacations. That
concerning the Importance of pure water
is applicable not merely to those who are
to dwell i'll tents in wilderness, but to
those who will sojourn at the usual sum
mer resort and watering place. 1t is too
water supply at such places is taken for
granted, with the most serious results

The Gilded Rowdies of Gotham.

There is a choice gang of these gilded
toughs that makes its headquarters in
certain prescribed resorts, and distin-
guishes itself by many acts of rowdyism
that the police have hitherto winked at.
Scarcely day passes without the report
of some explosion on their part gaining
then grave family lawyer is sent skur-
rying among the newspaper Offices to use
his influence to keep specially fragrant
episodes out of print. He generally sue
ceeds, too. If he did not, the public
chronicles of the year would present some
curious reading.
They would tell of assaults that nearly
ended in murder, of forgeries and thefts
committed to secure the means to prolong
designations, of the marriages of sappy
heirs to well known millions with ballet
women and servant girls, of shocking
brawls in evil ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS whole
category of offenses, in brief, in which
reckless and unprincipled youth can in
dulge, and wealth and influence be law
ished to ward off exposure and punish
ment. 1t would be interesting to know
the cost to which our Mohocks put their
protecting families, by the way. From
$4,000 to 1900 is known to be the
price of a divorce for a millionaire's son
from ballet girl. But it is only when
the law fixes the expense that the public
gets wind of it, and even in these cases,
conducted with the greatest secrecy and
settled without delay, information is very
difficult to procure.-hlfred Trumble in
Pittsburg Bulletin.

The interior of this peculiar building is
just as unpretentious as its exterior.
There is no floor other than mother earth
affords, and in the center is deep trench
in which fire is built. Around and
above this primitive CRATE are stretched
numerous beams, from which the plants
are suspended. Then the fire is started
and the work of curing is begun. In the
opinion of the old time planter the fire
must not be allowed to blaze. 1t is smoke
that is wanted, and so the Goals are kept
In continual smolder. Oak and hickory
are much used for curing purposes, but
many of the old planters preferred sassa-
fras and sweetgum, under the impression
that it improves the flavor of the weed.
Those who have adopted the modern inl-
provements, however, scout the idea as
ridiculous, but many of the older planters
still believe in a tradition that was
handed down from the Indians.-R. s.

The Old Style Tobacco Barn.

The methods of curing tobacco have
undergone a great change in Virginia
since the introduction of fues, but on this
old plantation they are as primitive as
when the colonists first learned the use of
tobacco from the Indian. The barns of
the farm are unlike any other used for
farming purposes in the world. They
have no agricultural pretenses, being
generally perfect square, with height
several times the width or length, and
surrounded by steep matched roof.
There are no windows and but one door,
just large enough to admit of an entrance
The caves of the house serve the purpose
of chimneys, and otherwise there is no
ventilation. Without exception these
barns are built of unhewn logs, the
crevices being plastered over with the NOR
tar made from clay. making the structure

The Actors Ideal Life.

People who pirate about the glorious
life of art which an actor leads, devoting
himself to ideals and to teaching the pub
lie how to be good and great, should take
look at the Rialto. A more fippant set
of seedy young men, most of them intent
upon nothing more ideal than beer, it
will be hard to find; the old men are not
fippant, poverty having sobered them,
but they are no less seedy. If the object
of life is to wear fashy clothes, to drink
beer, and live in cheap hotels, the average
actor gets along pretty well-for time.
If he cares nothing for home, a wife or
children, or the future. he may be happy
do not sympathize by any means with
the attempts of many well meaning peo
pie to put the actor outside the ban of
society; but must confess that in pro-
portion to the number of actors there are
remarkably few of theEa who attain what
the ordinary man would call prosperity.
And a very brief visit to the Rialto any
of these fine days would afford ample
illustration. New York Graphic.

Fire. Early on the night Of Friday last
the barn on the farm Of Mr.. Thomas W.
l1nwen, near Coxs Station, was found 10 be
on FIRE. by Mr.. Samuel ]. Lancaster, who
rents the farm. When first discovered it was
supposed that the FIRE was caused by a spark
from the engine Of the down train which had
only few moments before, passed that point
bat after the fire was ex inguished were first
discovered it was found that at an opposite
corner, it was also on FIRE, which showed con-
clusiyely that it was the work Of an incendia-
rs. Mr.. Lancaster had stored in the building
his entire crop Of tobacco, which would have
been consumed, had not the FIRE BEEN seen be-
fore it had gotten beyond control. We trust
that every effort viii be made by our authori-
tios to capture the cowardly miscreant who

The BALTIMORE AmerIcan.-rher


no greater power than that Of the press, it
does more to advance the interests Of COM
munity than all other powers combined,
when properly directed. Under the direction
Of its able manager, General Agnus, the Bal
timore AReriean has done, and is still doing
a great work in this State and especially for
Baltimore city. Its columns contain daily
well digested articles which tend to the eleya-
ton and moral advancement Of our people,
advantages to settlers from less favored sec
tions are clearly shown; efforts to direct CAPT
tai to Baltimore, which will give work to the
unemploS ed, and which will be a mutual
benefit to the capitalist and to the city, are
continually made. In fact every effort to ad-
vance the interests Of Baltimore and Of the
State are continually being made by this
great journal. We trust that its efforts will
soon be rewarded By getting :he Exposition
building, aud also the great sugar rehneries,
which it has so clearly shown could be work
ed in Baltimore with profit to all interested;
and last but not least, for its gallant stand
taken against fraud and corruption, pracuced
in Baltimore and elsewhere, we trust that its
daily circulation will soon equal il not excel
any of the great New York journals. II de-
serves ali this, and more besides.

names Of such men as Benjamin D. Tubman,

Dogs Again.-In addition to the worth
less ours that rsvage the sheep-folds Of our
farmers at short intervals, It appears we now
have a new breed recently imported, whose
appetites cannot be satisfied with few sheep,
but seek larger and stronger animals A few
days age two yearlings were killed belong
ing to Cutler Mason, who resides
on the Wills property about two miles below
this village. Tracks Of very large dog were
found, which showed that the yearings had
been pursued until they were forced into the
mash, where they were killed by the wolfish
brute. As legislatures cannot DC relied on to
give farmers protection from the ravages OF
worthless dogs, we favor the removal Of all

every one may have at hand a means, which
should be freely used, for the determination
OF this wandering i'll fed ''cuss the vagabond

contrary and peculiar action Of his hogship,

to the belief that some Of the devils must have
taken possession of sheep, for how else can we
account for the prolific and peculiar action Of
