A GEORGIA INCIDENT,

The Rev. George G. Rowe, who was born
in Litchfeld in this State, is pastor of Ply
mouth church in Charleston, South Carolina,
gregational association. Mr.. Rowe and some
friends had occasion to ride on Georgia
railroad the other day. They had scarcely
taken their seats when trainhand came to
them and said: "Your coach Is ahead" Mr..
Rowe explained that they held frst-class
through tickets. "Can't help it," replied
the trsinhand, repeating his former remark.
Presently white passenger stepped mp and
advised them "as friend" to go forward,
predicting that they would have trouble If
they didn't. Then the conductor came along.
"The colored peoples car is ahead, and you
will have to take seats in that car" he said.
They told him about their tickets, and re-
fused to leave the seats they had paid for un-
less forcibly removed from them. The con-
ductor went away and returned with two uni
formed trainhands, One of the latter rough
ly seized the minister's arm: "You must get
out of here!" "Don't tear my coati' expostu.
lated Mr.. Rowe. "I'll tear your hide" said
the trainhand "Don't use unnecessary vio.
lenoe" said the conductor. The upshot OF
it was that they gathered up their eatohelf
under protest and went forward into the
"Jim Grow" car, half of which is reserved
for smokers and the other half for .niggers. >
AS they went the passenger who had given
them unsolicited advice called out: "You
must remember that you are in Georgia.
Later the conductor said to Mr.. Rowe: 81
have no option In the matter. It Is orders
from headquarters"
Mr.. Rowe is going to bring suit against the
company on whose road he was SO treated
AS the law is against the company he may
succeed. 1t is much to be hoped that hi

Wealthy women in Plain Attire.

New 10fK Letter 10 tne Cnlcago NeWS.I
Some of the richest women are the least
extravagant in their clothes, as is the case,
for example, with old Mrs. w. 81. Wander
bilt, who does not spend above one Thousand
dollars year, and the late Mrs. Gould not
80 much. Nellie Gould, who will Inherit
fifteen or twenty million dollars, and already
has an income of forty Thousand dollars
year, spends about twenty-five hundred dol
lars In dress. The late Mrs. A. T. Stewart
was fortune to the dresssmakers, who put
away eight or ten thousand dollars year on
her furbelows. When she died and an in
ventory of her effects was taken her great
white mausoleum of house on Fifth ave-
nue. was found to be over-run with the most
marvellous amount of clothes, laces, furs,
bonnets and jewels, most of them very
youthful in appearance, though she was over
seventy years of age. Mrs. Astor dresses
with a solemn, handsome expensiveness at
the cost of four or five thousand dollars q
year, and all of the younger Vanderbilt wo-
men spend good deal of money on their
clothes. Mrs. George Gould, who was Edith
kingdom, the actress, and who has been the
quietest and most careful of women since
| her marriage, spends money like water when
| it comes to question of clothes, and must
put good ten thousand dollars year in the
hands of the dressmakers. Her dressmaker,
| by the way, is woman who had good deal
of social position, but who, when financial
| misfortunes came, f,llowed the example
Euglishwomsn of rank have set of late years,
and went into the milliner's business.

BEAUTIFUL DEATH. :

The beautiful old ruin on the Green was
hardly ever more beautiful than 1t is now
when the hand of the spoiler is busy at its
north end. It is worth the while of any citi-
zen who cannot fnd time to visit Greece to
take walk in the Green in the twilight and
see the columns, the arches and the marble
which is scattered all about. We hope that
some photographer will catch some of the
beauties of the dissolution of the noble pile.
A set of such pictures would be valuable.
Some enterprising and artistic gentleman
might possibly make some mony with an il
Illustrated lecture showing the temple as 1t was
before the vandals attacked 1t, and as it will
be at various stages Of their work. Doubt
less enough Greeks temporarily out of en-
ployment could be hired to be "taken" along
with the ruins, and thus add variety to the
pictures They might even be dressed in
Grecian fashion and "made up' to represent
Socrates. Plato, Aristides and other excellent
and well remembered Greeks. Two or three
moonlight views would need to be in the coll
lection, and If the Historical society could be
induced to ''sit" it would be we'll. There
may not be millions in this idea. There
probably are not. We give it for what it is
worth. At least one such performance in
New Haven would be well attended.

Leprous Princess in Paris.


The London lsper has caused, I hear, quite
a scare, have no doubt that there has al
ways been lots of leprosy in the world, but
that we know nothing about it, because the
doctors give it a fine Greek name. Why not
translate all the new Greek names of diseas-
es into graphic Englishi If there were
descriptive name that we could understand
for every malady, a long step would be taken
towards curing them. What meaning, for
instance, does the word eczema convey to
the unlearned mind. Whenever I hear doc-
tors giving evidence to jury, feel as if
they were talking in foreign language,
which nobody but themselves can under-
stand. It would perhaps startle the world
to hear that the Prince Of Wales leper could
find his match in palace in this city where
thers is a leper high and mighty from her
aldo standpoint. She is on kissing terms
with our royalties This illustrious person
has been nearly twenty years attacked with
the disease, which is kept in subjection by
careful daily treatment. I never heard that
she had given it to any one. There is. now
ever, no doubt whatever as to the nature of
her affection. They say that the primary
cause of leprosy in her case was the consan-
guine marriages of her ancestors.

histories he constructed and for the more
public spirited reyeries in which he dealt
with the future economy of our heteroge-
neous commonwealth. It must be owned
that he did not take much trouble about
this; what those poor people were thinking,
hoping, fearing, enjoying, suffering; just
where and how they lived, who and what
they individually were-these were the mat
ters of his walking dreams as he stared
harder at them, while the train raced furth-
or into the gay uglineAs-the shapeless,
graceless, reckless picturesqueness of the
Bowery.'
Once in this strange mile that lies between
Cooper Union and Chatham square the at
tentive March is fascinated by the wilderness
of human life he meets:
''Thera were certain signs, certain facades,
certain audaoities of the prevailing hideous-
ness that always amused him in that uproar
to the eye which the strident form and color
made. He was interested in the insolence
with vlAich the railway had drawn its Grass
ing line across the Corinthian front of an old
theather, almost grazing its hutted pillars,
colossal ef6gies of the fat woman and the
tuft-headed Circassian girls of cheap muse
ums; the vistas of shabby CROSS streets; the
survival of an old hiproofed house here and
there at their angles, the Swiss chalet, his-
trinic decorativeness of the stands In pros
pect or reprOspect; the yegar1es OF the lines
that narrowed together or stretched apart ac-
cording to the width of the avenue, but al-
| ways in wanton disregard Of the life that
dwelt, and bought and sold, and rejoiced or
sorrowed, and clattered or crawled around,
below, above-were features of the frantic
panorama that psrpetually touched his sense
Of humor and moved his sympathy. Acct
dent and then exigenoy seemed the forces at
work to this extraordinary effect; the play
of energies struggle for survival, with the
stronger life as free and painless as those
that force the forest from the soil to the
sky. and then the fierce persisting, the de-
formity, the destruction, the decay of the
weaker. The whole at moment seemed to
him lawless, Goddess, the absence of intelli-
gent, ,comprehensive purpose in the huge dis
order, and the violent struggle to subordinate
| the result to the greater good, penetrated
with its dumb appeal tns consciousness of a
| man who had always been too self-enwrapt
| to perceive the chaos to which the individual
selishness must always lead"
He would like to study it further, to paint
/ 1t, to describe it. But the whir1 stuns him,
he shrinks from its conflicts and he leaves its
| miseries behind him with pitying smile, as
he quits tbs turmoil of Chatham square and
| starts off once more amid the spIendor of
| respectability. Yet he decides to return and
to bring an artist with him. We are glad he
does, for literature and art own gold mines

NEW WRINKLE.

sPIRITUALISM's NEW WRINKLE.
Telegraphic Communication Direct
From the other Side of the Jordan.
On stairway at No. 1874 William street is
nailed a sign, Celestial City Up One
Flight" This seemed to be short cat to
this desirable locality, and World reporter
started up to pay his respects. The Celes-
tial City proved to be small newspaper
lately started in the interest of Spiritualism.
Two oompositors were at work setting the
type of the paper. Two editors were sitting
at desks, writing, and the third editor was
out of town. "Where we differ from other
Spiritualistic journals" }" said one of the edi-
tors, sis In being able to receive direct tele-
graphic Communication from the spirit land.
This gives us great advantage, as we can
and do receive special kilograms from Shake
speare, Grant, Washington, Mcclellan, Gree
y, Lincoln and other distinguished per-
sons" The gentleman produced a copy of
his paper, and beneath the editorial head
was printed list of special contributors,
among them the names mentioned and many
others. The telegraph instrument was shown
the reporter, but the chief editor and fnan-
cial hacker of the paper, w. o. Innis, was
out of town, and he was the only person who
could get good results from this occult tsle-
graph, as It is called. Only few numbers
of the paper have been printed, but each
number contains special kilograms, to which
are affixed the names of distinguished dead.
Here is one from Grant:
"I come merely to give word Of cheer
and encouragement. The land has been
pickesed; now wait awhile; the victory will
be at hand. Fourl U. S. GRANT"
Bill Shea sends about two hundred words.
He says he was noted poker-player, and
was well known all over the country. He
says he is happy. The paper keeps standing
on its editorial page the announcement that
1t is the "only Spiritual journal that receives
and publishes communications, essays, &C.,
from spirit correspondents by means of
sealed envelopes"
The gentleman in charge was asked how
the messages were received. He said an in
quiry was written on slip Of paper ad-
dressed to deceased person, the paper was
folded up unseen by the operator and then
thrown into a common match box. Imme-
diately the telegraph instrument licked off
the reply. The paper publishes cut of the
building in which it is printed, showing
three telegraph wires reaching down out of
the clouds and entering the window at the
editors desk. So far all the messages have
come prepaid.

A clever Cat.

{From the Boston Transcript
Over at the West end there lives colorea
family which is noted for possessing breed
of cats which it seems to have a monopoly
of-remarkably intelligent animals they are,
If not always sleek and handsome. Not
long ago lady on Beacon Hill who was in
need Of servant, and to whom q daughter
of this colored household had been recon-
mended, called one evening at the little
house up an alley where the people lived.
A stout black woman came to the door.
''Does Eliza Orangeblossom lives here"
the lady asked. .....-

dis minute" said the stout colored woman.
"But Of you'll step in, I'll sem out after
her."
She led the way in and seated the lady in
the livingroom of the house. There were
several cats present, one of which, a scrawny
but alert-looking Maltese with green eyes,
rubbed up amiably and inquiringly against
the visitors dress.
"You come away from dar, you Maltyl'
exclaimed the colored woman to the cat.
"You hyah me1 Now you 90 ober t. dc
chu'ch and git Lily, and bring her homo.
You go fetch 'Lizy!" she repeated, holding
the door open.
The cat, after sliding and wavering on the
threshold moment, as cats always do In or.
der not to appear too obedient, disappeared
through the door.
"Will-will the cat bring your daughtera'
the lady asked in sstonishment.
Claws bless ye, ma'am, you wait an see,
said the colored woman.
Some minutes went by ,and the lady began
to think that the mission was quite a failure,
when the door opened and a strapping col
ored girl came In with the Maltese cat at hel
heels. The girl had hardly got in when she
broke out;
ssMammy, did you send that ar Aalty te

"WaI now, I'm tired O. havin' dat cat fol

a point afterward to get one of her kittens

SOME FACTS ABOUT EGGS.
Matching Chickens by the Million In
ExYpI for American StOmachs.

HatcAfnS CH1ckens DY the Nl11l1On IN
Egypt for American StOmachs.
From Cairo (EgypD Lstterl
The Egyptians are, however, far In adj
vance of us in the sciencs of raising chick
ems, aud tha ineubating establishments of
the country hatch out eggs by the million
every year. At Matching establishment
near the Pyramids the farmers trade fresh
eggs for young chicks and the rate is two
eggs per chick. Another artificial egg
hatchery turns out five hundred thousand
little chickens every season and the oven
crop of chickens in Egypt amounts, accord
ing to figures furnished me by the consul
general, to more than twenty millions of
chickens year.
We have about two hundred million dol
lars worth of money invested in the fowl in
dustry in the United States, an amount so
| large that all the money of Jay Gould could
not equal it, and still we have to import
| more than sixteen million dozens of eggs ev-
ery year. If America would adopt the
| Egyptian Matching system we could sell eggs
| instead of buying them, and our farmers
might buy little chickens to raise at price
| of twenty cents dozen. More than twenty
millions Of little chickens are sold each year
| in this WAY in Egypt, and there is . regular
business in chickens just old enough to walk.
The incubatories are rude, one-story build
| ings, made of undried BRICKS go arranged
that the eggs are laid upon cut straw in
| racks in rooms, around the ovens, which are
| kept fred on during the Matching season.
The outside walls are very thick and are
| built SO that they retain the heat, and the
only Thermometer used is the blood of the
boy or man who attends to the fires. By
long practice these men learn just how hot
the ovens ought to be kept, and they replen-
ish the fires as tha weather demands. A
small amount of fuel is needed, and the
temperature of the ovens is about that of
ninety-eight degrees above zero. The fire is
built up for eight or ten days before the eggs
are put in to thoroughly warm the hut, and
after this time 1t does not 60 out during the
season, which ia from March until May.
The eggs are turned four times day while
Matching. The whole outfit of an estab-
lishment which matches over two hundred
thousand chickens year does not, am told,
cost more than twenty five dollars, and one
man runs the whole machine, keeping the
fires, buying and turning the eggs and selling
the chickens. There are in this incubatory
twelve compartments, each seventy feet long.
, sixty feet wide and sixteen feet high, and
each of these compartments will hold seven'
ty-five hundred eggs at time, or ninety
thousand eggs in all It produced last yeal
: more than two hundred and thirty thousand
J chickens, and did the work of more thar
! twenty Thousand hens.

Washington Territory.

All parts of the territory have ex-
perieneed during the past year a not
able influx of newcomers, and the ag
gregate increase in a desirable, per
manent population has been large
This added population, while to il
considerable extent, cosmopolitan In
character has been principally from
states and territories of our own
country and Canada, and especially
from the states contiguous to the
eastern ends of our great transconti-
mental lines of railway. The Dorth-
western states-Wisconsin, Minneso-
contributed the largest percentage,
and the central west, comprising
Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska and Mis-
souri,, the next largest. Many have
come from Texas and California.
The prospective immigration from
all these states, and from other local
tiles in the east and south, as evil
denced by the large number of let
ters of inquiry daily received, and in
larger, and, in my opinion, will ex>
ceed by so per cent. that of the past
year. Immigration from prairie
states, who desire to engage in wheat
and stock raising, are advised to stop
in eastern Washington; those from
California, Colorado and other dis
tricts where irrigation is practiced
and who desire to be similarly cir
cumstanced in their new homes, are
recommended to the Yakima and
Kittitas valleys; those from northern
Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania
and some of the eastern and south
ern states generally find the most
congenial homes in the wooded re-
gions of western Washington.

Two Opinions on Dancing.

Mrs. Ella Wheeler Wilcox-I en-
tirely approve of round dances-for
people who are graceful-but people
who can't dance well ought not to
dance at all Dancing is much more
liable to pervert the old. But then,
if they would be perverted by dane
ing, wouldn't they be likely to have
been perverted by something else be-
;; fore? Promis ;uous dancing is doubt
less likely to be conducive to immor-
ality. But then, so it is in camp
meeting. Young girls ought to
dance with their brothers friends,

DIR. Alva H. Dolby, surgeon and

healthy woman can dance with i'm
punity Just as she can ride horse
or play tennis, but comparatively few
American women are nominally
healthy. Moreover, a woman in a
ball dress is almost invariably laced
too tightly, and l never knew a
woman who danced who did not
dance too much; the overexertion,
combined with the tight lacing, in
creasing as it does the action of the
heart, with diminished scope. Wom-

The Texada Quartz Excitement

The Nanaimo Courier of Tuesday
saws: Mr.. A. Raper. of this city
who returned from Texada on Mon
day brings back favorable report
of that place as a quartz mining To-
calitv. The ledges, he thinks, are
excellent in character. and of very
promising nature, and be also thinks
that quartz n4iuIng in Texada will Ia
the near future asGonish people who
now seem to have very little faith in
that place as a mining district. MIR.
Raper is a geologist of large exper-
ience and his opinion Is certainly
worth something. The formation he
says is excellent, being granite por-
phyry and limestone, gives promise
of being rich in precious metals.
About fifty claims have already been
located, and mining licenses are be-
ing granted every day and prospect
ors lose no time in getting there and
securing the choicest locations, The
present is not a good time for pros
pecting. there being too much snow
in the mountains. 1t is expected,
however that with the advent of
spring the island will be full of SEEK
ers after the golden treasure"
