SORwALK. July 22.--MrS. Caroline
Miller, colorcd. of Wcstport, well
known in that little vllla%" of her
honesty and thrift. received from
Manhasct. l.. l., one day this week,
n letter from Mrs. Gcorgima Alden,
the contents of which show to what
depths of poverty those in opulcnce
may fall The writer is the widow
of the late Stephen Alden, who for
years was one of the wcalthiest men
in the country She is now without
money OF friends. is suffering from
hunger and want of proper
shelter. and, reduced to the lowest
depths of poverty, begs this poor
woman, who was once employed i'll
h"l household, for aid. SO reduced
had she become that only three cent )
were il her purse. and two of them
were used to buy the stamp for her
letter.
Mrs Miller sent - of her earnings,
all she had left from her wages of the
week previous. Before doing SO,
however. she showed the letter to
persons who had associated with Mrs
Alden at II time when fortune smiled
upon her, thinking that they were
better able than herself to answer
the appeal. They offered no assist
uncc. One of the parties to whom
the letter was shown is the wife of u
well known citizen, who, when the
unfortunate lady was shining i'll
society there. borrowed her diamonds.

to wear ut an evening reception.
Twenty years ago Mrs. Alden S
husband was reputed to be worth
from three to five millions of dollars.
He had previous to that time been
president of one of the banks in Al
bany, and was also a prominent resi-
dent and politician of that city. Sub
scqucntly he married, removed to
New York, and became broker in
the Stock Exchange. BY series ui
daring manipulations he made the
major portion of his great wealth
He spent his summers in Westport
and ut an expense of many thousands
of dollars erected IN elegant man
sion. with spacious lawns and parks
and lived III princcly style. His homo

of workmcn kept the house and
grounds in the best possible order
and stable full of thoroushbreds
with drivers and footmcn, were al
ways ready ut moments notice
The quiet, easy going citizens of tho
place were overawcd at their neigh
bors lavish expenditures. No society
WAS quite complete unless MIR. and
Mrs. Alden were present. At length
business revcrses set in, heavy losses
followed, and in II surprisingly short
time money and property were swept
away to satisfy the claims of crcdi
tors. Mr.. Alden died under the
weight of his obligations, and his
widow, shattered in health, started
westward. For several years sh,
remained Oh the Pacific coast, bu
lattcrly returned east. She is nov
poverty stricken and aid is now re
fused her, even by those who ut on
time were her warmest friends.

The Power of Money.

What an influence for good CT evil
is eXerted by the proper or improper
use of money. 1t seems to be the
first essential of modern life. Sad
indeed is the lot of that man or that
woman without money and without
friends. Especially in cases of sick
ness is the need of money felt most
pressingly and yet even the rich with
all their money fall into state of
poor health and die, whereas if their
money was rightly expended and the
proper remedies applied they might
regain health and strength.
Il. A. Clark, Atlanta, ca, says: i
spent four hundred and cights dol
lars in gold to cure me of terrible
blood poison that affected my limbs
and nose and body, with running
ulcers. One months treatment of
b. B. B. healed the ulcers, restored
NV appetite, strengthening kidneys
and added 21 pounds to weight"
Still, in spite of this and much
other testimony there are many who
refuse to try the remedy, seeming to
prefer to pay large fees to physicians.

\ Fight against Whiskcy i'm Georgia

There is going to be il big fight III
the next Legislature for the suppress
son of bar rooms i'll Georgia. a
general law making it illegal to sell
whiskcy in quantities of less than
one quart will be asked for. Five
thousand petitions are now being
circulated over the State nnd fifteen
hundred minister's are at work for
the law. Judge John ID. Cunning
ham, of Atlanta, is one of the leaders
III the movement, and he and his co
laborcrS are very much III earnest.
The gentlemen who are at the head
of tins movement think that now is
the time to press their bill, the orig
nai package decision having made
the liquor question new issue.
They also base hopes on the fact that
the Farmers Alliance is against bar
keepers.

LACY JUMPS ON EARLY.
Tn. GencraI'> Private and Public Record
l;i,'CrIy .ASstilrd.


EKEDERICKSBUKG, Va, July II In
response to the interview with Gen.
Fairly, which has appeared I'LL over
the country. dcnyin" that Gen. Il. L.
Lee ever told Maj. Horace Lacy that
if he Lec) retired from command he
would recommend Gen. Malone as
his successor, Mai. Lacy has published
card, in which he deals not gently
witt Gen. Early's record, public and
private, both before and since the
war.
In his interview Gen. Early de
nounced Mai. Lacy as II liar and n
crank. In his reply Mai. Lacy says
in substance that Earlcy's non -rccol-
lection of what passed nt Richmond
at the unveiliuco of the Lee monument
between himself and Early, concern
ing the conversation with Lacy. Is
proof of his dcbauchcd condition on
that day. He says Early is not only
Il miserable liar, but his private char
ucter is in keeping with the lie which
has stamped his brow ever since this
controversy began, and that what he
said was literally true.
Then Lacy turns on Earlys mill
tary career, and says that whether in
tent, ut drill OF on the parade he was
invariably drunk, and the only noto-
ricty he has attained since the war
was his love for gambling houses and
other places of i'll fame, and his con
cubinagc with a ncgrcss.
His card closes III this manner: Il
am Democrat, and have no sympa
thy with Malone or his tactics, and
am opposed to him us a politician.
In Justice to myself / feel L should
reiterate what L have already said,
and L regret that l have to deal with
this miserable cur, who is trying to
exchange drunkenness for bravery

WASHINGTON, June 10.-The statistical
returns of June to the Department OF Agri-
culture include preliminary estimates of the
area of wheat, both spring and winter, and
its condition. While several States in
creased the area of winter wheat last au-
tumn, the heavy reduction by blowing and
planting in other crops to replace the win
ter-killed wheat in Illinois, in Indiana and
to limited extent in two or three States,
has reduced the. acreage in every wheat
growing State of prominence except Kansas
and Oregon.
The percentages represent the actual area
now growing, in comparison with the
acreage harvested last year, and include all
that was seeded last fall, except what has
been replaced by other crops. The general
average is 91.2, a reduction Of S.S per cent
of last years winter wheat area. The per-
centage of the principal States are as fol-
lows: New York, 9s; Pennsylvania, 90;

Enough Republican Senators will
probably sign request to Sena-

lay aside personal prejudices, and
Mr.. Walker will be made to under
stand that he was put on the CON-

MUkNiNG APPEAL.
The &C WEE SHIP.

There are fewer candidates
this year than ever before in the
Republican ranks. As near as the
APPEAL can figure, the party will
nave no walk-over this all. A good
Republican, good man and u man
around whom no past enmities
cluster, would make a strong run.
The party cannot afford to GO into
the fight with Il heavy LOAF at the
head of the ticket that the rest of
the candidates will have to pack.
The people of Esmeralda are
pressing the name of r. K. Col
cord for the nomination. The AP-
PEAL has not the pleasure of Mr..
Colcord's acquaintance, but every
body in Esmera da speaks in the
highest terms of his ability and
integrity.
