Father and Son Meet ACCIDENTAL,
After Twenty-Eight Years.

Father and Son Meet Accidentally
After Twenty Eight Years.
BIRMINGHAM, Ala, Jan. 81 John and
Frank Wilson, father and son, former
residents of Cincinnati, met here Tues
day by accident, after a separation of
twenty eight years. Each supposed the
other dead. The elder Wilson went to
the war, leaving his wife and son living
in Cincinnati.
When he returned he found that they
had moved away, and he could find no
trace of them. He finally settled in
Arizona and became a mining expert
Frank, the son, and his mother had
moved to the country from Cincinnati
during the war, and the son finally pur-
chased farm and settled down near
Joliet, Ill. Several days ago he came
south to look at the country with view
of locating.
The elder Wilson has for some time
been employed as mining expert by a
good mining company in Claybourne
county, Ala. He was on his way back
to Arizona, and stopped over here. His
son was spending the day here, and
by chance they met in the waiting-room
at the Union depot. After explanations
and complete recognition the father
agreed to return home with his son, and
they left for Joliet on the Louisville and
Nashville train last night.

LAID TO REST.
The Funeral Services of Rev.
A. S. Lakin, u. d.

The remains of DIR. Lakin, accom-,
panied by his son-in law. Capt. John
W. Raines, and grand daughter,
Miss Edith Raines, reached the city
last Saturday night, and the last sad
funeral services took place Sunday
morning following at II o'clock
from the M. E. Church.
The services were simple, solemn
and impressive, opening with the 991
hymn; Servant OF God, Well
Done" Elder Prettyman read as
scripture lesson, chap. Thess. He
preached from the text, "Oh, if we
believe that Jesus died and rose
again, ETC." The discourse was most
appropriate to the occasion. Touch
ing on the life and character of the
distinguished departed dead, the
Elder said that he had been made
familiar with his subject by an &C
quaintance Of % years, He was a
born General in scriptural affairs,
a. d SO recognized by the great Meth
odist Episcopal Church with which
he was connected. Evidences of his
workmanship live today all over the
wide field of his labors; especially so
over North Alabama.
He lived to the ripe age of four
score years, having been in his 8Oth
year since May Z. 1889. For So
years he was pillar Of the Church,
and was permitted to pass away al.
most free ofpain, conscious to the
last, his dying words being, Il am
going to my Heavenly Home" The
distinguishing features of his charac-
ter we're summed up as, 1st, Sym
plicity; End, Strength; 3rd Direct
ness, the gathering up of all forces to
the accomplishment of his work.
The sermon was listened to closely,

That Wealthy Fish.

JoHNsTowN, Pa, Jan. 31.-The story
from Iowa about the wealthy fish that
carried small fortune in its interior has
caused great interest here. John j.
Jones, who had all his property washed
away in the great flood, thinks the fish
may have swallowed some of his wealth.
The dispatch said there were $4,000
worth Of bonds in the fsh's stomach.
Jones had no such amount of valuable
paper. His pocketbook, which was
washed away, contained note for 5000,
some greenbacks and some gold and
silver coin. 1t also contained a slip of
paper bearing his name. He could not
say whether there was bank certificate
in the book such as was found in the
fish or not.

who will Be Lori-in waiting.

From the London Truth.
Since the death Of Lord Torrington
a conflict has been going on between
the Queen and Lord Salisbury about
waiting I'm his place, and the question
does not seem to be any nearer being
settled han IL was ten months ago. The
Queen desires a n~on-political peer, while
Lord Salisbury protests that n noble
man who has claims upon the gratitude
Of the party must be selected. The aranR-
ments OF the waits Of h lords-in-waitinR
during this year was postponed Tor sew
eral weeks in the hope hat an appoint
ment would be made, but nothing has
been decided, and the matter will now
probably remain In allegiance for n few
weeks, as Lord Torrington's successor,
who ever he may he, is no to go to court
on duty until after the Queens return
from the continent. .
1.-THE Queen has always acknowledged
that no Minister ever met her wishes
about household appointments SO readily
as Mr.. Gladstone, who probably learned
from Sir Robert Peel that business is
much facilitated by giving in to the feel
ings Of the sovereign on these small per
sonal questions.

shutters and out went the big barkers,
and such of the crew as were not at the
guns rested their muskets along the rail.
i've got your captain here, and she'll
be put aboard of you!" shouted the cap
tain. "If you attempt any resistance,
I'll sink you!"
The Nancy's mate ordered his crew to
one of the guns, but they refused to
obey, every man of them sulking for
ward and disappearing down the hatch.
The fellow left the deck long enough to
arm himself with a cutlass, and as we
lowered a boat he called out that he
would split the head of the first man who
attempted to board the schooner. Our
first mate, the boatswain. and two of us
foremost hands went in the boat with
Mrs. Thomas, and as we hooked on to the
schooners chains the boatswain pulled a
revolver and climbed in over the bows.
The mutineer retreated aft, and then we
all boarded. The woman had not spoken
word since leaving the ship. She was
pale as death, and her eyes glared like a
tigers. As she dropped from the rail to
the deck she cooked the weapon i'll her
hand, walked aft and right up to the
mate, and as he tlourished his cutlass
and commanded her to keep off she shot
him dead in his tracks,
Its the law of the sea-, she quietly
remarked, as she turned to us. snow
to rout out those Lascars.'
But you won't kill them." said our
mate.
No, not quite" was her grim answer,
as she handed him the smoking revolver.
Casting look at the dead mutineer,
to be sure that he was dead, she went
forward, took a Delaying pin out of the
port rail, and, going to the hatch, called
down:
"On deck here, every cowardly man of
you, and be quick about it, too"
They came up one after the other, and
as each man touched the deck she gave
him crack over the head which made
him see stars. They went down on their
knees and begged for their lives. and
after knocking them about in liberal
way she finally agreed to extend pardon.
Under her directions the mates body
was searched, and, as she had antici-
pated, all the money aboard the schooner
was found. She then ordered the body
flung overheard, and as it touched the
water one of the biggest white sharks |
ever saw seized it and bit it in half.
While the Lascars were cleaning the
deck the little woman ran down into her
cabin and brought up a dozen bottles of
wine, six boxes of cigars, and a lot of
dried fruits for us to take back to the
ship. Then she gave each of us shake
of the hand. and as we entered the yawl
she sprang upon the port rail held fast
to the main shrouds with one hand, and
shouted:
"Good-by, and God bless you. Captain
Wheeler! I've got my craft back. thanks
to you, and I'll keep my eyes open after
this!'
Then she jumped down and went to
the wheel and gave orders to get the
schooner on her course. and in couple
of hours the craft was lost sight of be-
hind one of the islands as it made for
the inside of the route. Two years later
| saw the woman at Singapore, and she
still owned the schooner and was said to
have a comfortable fortune in bank. A
year later l heard that she had purchased
brig, and, putting in a cargo on her
own account, had sailed for home.

The Secret Out.

was chatting with a young and hand
some woman few days ago when the
subject of female beauty came up, and
she delivered this philosophical dis
course: ANY woman can be beautiful
in the public eye who has taste for dress
and money. She can get along without
the taste, but not without the money.
The money can procure for her the taste
of others. The women of to-day realize
very thoroughly what dress is in secur-
ing the reputation for beauty. Among
so women of social standing, if they
were required to choose between the
possession of beautiful face and figure
on the one hand, or the means to dress
magnificently and elegantly, you would
not find one who would choose the face
and figure. 1t isn't that women do not
like to be handsome, but because they
know they can appear handsome if they
have the equipment which money can
procure. ~ New York Press.
