A Lecture on the Novelis. and His Works, with
Descriptions of Scottish Scenes.

Kew. q. e. McCull0ch lectured, last
night, at Plymouth Church. to a good au-
dience. on The Land of Scott" his re-
marks being chiefly descriptive of stereo-
scopic views that were thrown on a canvas.
The effort was aimed at giving an accurate
idea of the land and times of the great poet
and novelist, and of the customs that pre-
vailed in his time. The very name of Scot
land had a fascination for him, the speaker
said, due partly to the slight tinge of Scotch
blood that coursed through his veins, but
more especially to the grand characters
that mark the country's past. The people
are such as always carry their nationality
with them. not because Of the history of
their country, but because they themselves
are born with natures in which predOm-
mate. sincerity, q deep religious feeling, a
love for home. song and integrity, and a
of education, as is evidenced by the popu-
larity of the Bible and of high-class litera-
ture. This is observed even among the
lower classes; The love of song has
also played great part in
Mr.. McCulloch thought. Scotland has
fiOated into the hearts of the world on
poetry and music. The airs are musical in
cadence n simple in expressions; the lit
erature is representative of human nature.
Three names. he said, have been known
to the world through ScOtland-Robert
Burns. Sir Walter Scott and Thomas Car
lyle. ScOtts training for the field of liter
ture was self-chosen, his love of romance
leading him away from a rigid study
of the law, for which his parents had
educated him. A brief sketch of his
works was given relative to the dates of
theic appearance. OF his prose works, it
was said their great destinations for the
average reader was in their peculiar style.
A quarter of a century ago, when they
sprang into popularity. the novel and novel
reading were not what they are now, for
the old superstitiOns against that class of
literature still prevailed. The absence of
the modern novel of the trashy sort
marked, and Scott's productions ear
ried with them a weight the worth
of which still! remains in the
hearts. of all of his readers. Mr.. McCul-
eral groups. The first. in which he ranked
Waverly. Guy Mannering. Old Mortality,
Rob Roy. The A%ntiquary and Heart OK
Midlothian were written in Scott's
prime of life, and are, the speaker thought,
of Nigle. Woodstock and Quentin Dur
ward, composing the second group, were
penned while the novelist was burdened
with the cares of life, and are
of a less meritorlOus sort: The
tullu BIoup SOuupticcS dh VI tHocc
novels written during Scotts declining
years. when novel writing was reduced toa
matter of business. and more for their mar
ket value than their merit.
In conclusion. he took his audience on an
imaginary voyage through the land of
Scott's birth, showing, among other scenes,
Edinburg, Castle Hill. Church of st. Niles.
residence of John Knox, White House
Tavern, Holyrood Palace. and pictures of
Scott, Burns. Carlyle and Mary Queen of
Scots.

In the controversy about cutting the
price OF hacks, it is rather late in the day
for Mr.. G.. L. Kregelo and Mr.. Frank Bird
topose as the champions of low prices in the
interest of the dear people. The facts in
the case are that they have stood for tho
highest prices that the people would endure,
and have stood together. 1t Ia we'll under
stood, as was published a few days ago.
ago of pledging all the undertakers to ex-
haust Mr.. Birds supply before giving. the
individual hack-owners n chance. And not
later than this last spring, when the un-
dertakers held a number of meetings to
promote good feeling and harmony. and
compare and agree upon prices that would
be reasonable and satisfactory to all, Mr..
kregeio insisted on placing the price of
hacks at S. to Crown Hill and s. to the
southern yards. The hack question is not
the only place where the shoe pinches.
The facts in the case are that the under
takers In this city are putting out work OF
the highest standard of excellence and at
reasonable rates. and are being patronizcd
by the best families i'll the city. While the
livery men have put on a line of hacks for
the accommodation of the public that will
compare with any city in the country. Ev-
cry man has his personal friends. When an

it is the man they have confidence in, and
that man ought to be O conscientious man
and q gentleman.
The charges for the funeral outfit of Vice.
president Hendricks are fresh in the minds
of the people. Mr.. Kregeio was perfectly
willing to accept $500 for the casket. while
his bill called for s .5OO. He charged and
was paid the modest sum of two hundred
dollars for embalming. The charge for
hacks, aside from what the Senate and
House committees paid, was 1913. These
three items are only samples.
In other words, the people are familiar
with the charges of Messrs. Bird and
kregelo, and the day has gone by for them
to hold q monopoly of the hack and under
taking business, even if they do try to set
themselves up as martyrs. We. the under
signed undertakers, are perfectly willing
to submit the whole matter to the public,
and are satisfied that the intelligence of the
people will not be deceived.

William Terrell, the CRATE and mantel
dealer, made an assignment yesterday to
George NJ. Ballard. deciding to him 266
acres of land in Sullivan county and turn
Ballard stated TO a reporter last night
that the liabilities. so far as he knew, were
represented in $500 in preferred claims. and

van county. The latter is in favor
of the Encaustic tile-works of this
city. The assets are fixed by Mr..
Terrell at from $4,000 to 5000,
but Mr.. Ballard thinks they will not go
above 5000. For some time Mr.. Terrell
has been unable to satisfactorily meet the
demands of his creditors. and recently "a
run was made on him which severely
drained his bank account. A suit was
threatened a few days ago by a creditor.

BARRETT LAW IMPROVEMENTS.
Time and Machinery Necessary to Secure
Them. and the City's Share Of Cost.

There is o movement in favor of early
action to secure asphalt pavements on sew
eral additional streets, and petitions will
be circulated asking to have it placed on
Illinois, North Pennsylvania, and several
other residence and business streets. THE
work cannot be begun too early" said
City Attorney Taylor, a day or two since.
and the petitions ought to be completed
before the assembling of the new Council,
SO they can be presented at once when
that body convenes. / do not think it
would be advisable to have them
acted upon by the present Council.
by that body. and although we have
avoided raising the question heretofore. /
am pretty thoroughly convinced that q
measure begun, and not finished, dies with
the Council which began it. and would
have to be taken mp de novo by the new
Council and Board of Aldermen. This rule
prevails in Congress and the State Legisla-
ture, and you can readily SEQ If an Ordin-
ance was passed by the present Council,
and concnrred in by the next Board of Al
dermen, members of the next Council
might very properly urge that a
new ordinance was being put in force
without their aid or consent. Ii usually
taxes aDOuC IOur months 10 pass n measure
regularly through both branches, so if the
petitions were ready by the first meeting in
January, it would be some time in May be-
fore work would begin.
Il think the Barrett law will work we'll,
although in some cases where it's provis-
ions will be used to secure street improve
ments the expense of advertising and other
machinery is very much disproportioned to
the work needed. The city will probably
pay at once for street and alley intersec-
tions. which. in the old part of the city,
will be nearly One-fifth of the whole. The
squares in the old city are 52S feet long
from the middle of the cross streets. TAX
ing out sixty feet for the streets and thirty
feet for the alleys would make ninety feet
of ronta &c for the city to look after, and
ass feet for prOperty-hOldors. There would
be variations from these figures in the case
of wide streets like Washington, and i'm
the new part of the city both streets
and alleys vary in width greatly,
Speaking of variations. did you know that
most of the streets north of Washington
intended to run due north, were allowed by
some variation of the magnetic needle TO
trend nearly two degrees west of north.
When the streets south of Washington
street were laid out they were made to con-
form to the streets on the North Side in
most instances, but the alleys were not, and
the consequence is there is a constant Dar-
rowing of lots as they run southwark,
which has more than once caused annoy
snce 10 prOperty-owners."

those who display their enterprise and pro-
gressiyeness by LIBERAL use of printers ink.
Somany advertising schemes are brought to
light now that man is worried and harassed
to death about going into all sorts of So
called special "adsn that have no intrinsic
merit. Experience teaches us that the best
paying mediums Of advertising are those
through the columns Of the papers or maga-
zines Of large circulation. Messrs. Davis
Bros. now come to tho front with The old
Homestead, and offer space in its pages to
advertis re-. The publication will be
monthly, and will contain besides the cover
twenty pages Of interesting and varied
matter, size l55s x22; the space offered ad-
vertisers is on the three pages Of the cover
The first issue, or May number, will weigh
$500 pounds, or about three truck loads ;
each copy will weigh one-quarter OF a
pound, thereby making this issue 10000
copies. Besides many thousand subscribers
in this city The old II nlestedd will circu-
late in every postoffice in Georgia. Florida,
Alabama, North and South Carolina.
The promoters conf !ently expect TO have
$1,000 subscribers before the end OF its first
year The low subscription price Of SOC.
year barely covers the actual cost Of the

every respect, and will unquestionably pay
Its advertisers. As mentioned above, its
space is limited and only few choice ad-

who desire their notices inserted must
apply at once to the office Of The Old
Homestead, A., A and 46 Bull street.
