PRESIDENT OF A MASS MEETING.
Charles A. Jackson, chairman of the County Demo

Busness Mems Association 10 be one Of the vlcepres
dents at the Madison Square Garden grand mass-mee
inCs next Tuesday evening, " for the purpose OF
indorsing the action Of the Democratic state Con-
venon lately held at Saratoga, and to ratfy the NOM
lnation OF Roswell p Flower for Governor, and Will
lam F. Sheehan for Lieutenant Governor, and the other
nominees OF The convention for state Offices Mr.
Jackson was to be placed on exhibition as one OF the
noted County Democracy j aders who was standing
teadfast for the Tammany state ticket In the face Of
discouragnG circumstances.
Mr. Jackson concluded yesterday not to exhibit
hlms IT, and sent letter to the Hon. Nelson Smith,
chairman Of the Business Mems Democratic committee
Of arrangements in which he said: 81 regret
ceedingly that your invitation to be pr sent at the
meeting to be held under the auspices the Business
Mems Democratic Association at Madison square
Garden on the evening of October 81, and to be
Of the vice presidents is worded TO preclude tho
possibility of It's acceptance can't indorse the ac-
ton of the State Convention lately held at Saratoga TO
which with full delegation Of regularly chosen and
represented Democrats I duly accredited.
Il regard It's action in excluding great
wrong and blunder fIaught with danger to the Demo
cratic party. The NewYork Comfy Democracy of
which organization have the honor to be a member,
has Endorsed the ticket nominated at Saratoga in the
name OF the Democracy, but 1t has not ndOrsed the
action Of the Convention depriving IL Of representa-
ton.

LOVE IN A BARREL
By HOWARD PYLE
CHAPTER |.

A long row of some dozen or so great
stone mills, with roofs tall and steep, or
hipped and gabled, and with walls
whitened with -four, gaping by open
sheds and half doors upon q sunny stretch
of dusty road, they stand upon the steep,
bluff shore of a river. Upon the road
they are two stories high; upon the river
front they are four, five, or even six. In
some seasons sloops, brigs and barks are
dashed to the river walls loading with
barrels of -four or cornmeal, the shouts
of the stevedores and the creaking of
blocks and tackles echoing from stony
wall to stony wall. On the decks lounge
a few idle sailors in baggy breeches or
petticoats, club queues down their backs
and cooked hats or Monterey caps upon
their heads; and upon the road in front
of the mill doors stand clustered the
queer old vehicles OF the day-tarmers'
carts, coopers' carts, great Conestoga
wagons dragged by teams of eight, ten
or twelve mules, and which travel some
times even as far as Pittsburg.
Upon the farther side of the road from
the mills is the millrace, trimming with
the speeding waters that in the night
time fill the silence with the brawling of
their hurrying rush. Here and there
side streams shoot under the bridges and
lift foodgates and set the huge, groaning
wheels Affirming, and the rude machin-
cry and great millstones to Earring and
turning in answer.
Such, one hundred years ago, were the
famous old Brandywine -four mills,
which ground more meal during the
Revolution and for the old West India
trade than was ground at any other
place in the country.
