ooNFEDEEArE VETERANS.
They are LinbIe to Lose Their Home in
Georgia.


ATLANTA, Ga, Aug. 27.-There is
Confederate Veterans home here, with
real estate attached, valued at between
$40, 900 and $50, 900, which is now with
out an owner, and which may
never have any inmates. In a squirt of
sentimental patriotism, led by the. late
Henry Wooden Grady, occasioned by
the failure OF. Major Stewards scheme in
New York, $1G0, 600 was raised by private
subscription. The home was built, APP
plications for admission were received
from all parts of the state, and all that
remained was for the state to accept the
magnificent property rendered. The al
lance raised the cry of economy, and
declared that the poorhouses were good
enough for people who could not support
themselves. The proposition was at
tackled vigorously during the debate, and
even the epithet of 'tbuttermilk sold
iers'' was hurled at the veterans. The
proposed gift was then modified so as to
impose not even the burden of maintain
ing it upon the legislature. This was
voted down this afternoon by a decisive
majority and, for the first. time in
twenty-five years, the Confederate vet
eran found that he was an alien in
Georgia, representing an alien memory

SUGAR sPRECKELs.
Questions and DeniaIs in Regard to the
Sugar Trust

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 27.-The state
ments published in New York yesterday,
to the effect that the sugar trust had
after all obtained the practical control
of the Spreckels refinery in this city,
was last night absolutely contradicted
by Rudolph spreckles, who said de-
.cidedly that nothing of the sort had
been in contemplation, nor would ever
take place.
sssAre you aware that Mr.. Willets, of
the firm of Willets d Gray, positively
asserts that the arrangement has been
made?" Ae was asked. >.
sob, Isuppose they as sugar brokers
may have some bonds to SELL replied
4Mr.l Spreckels, "and it is therefore to
their interest to spread the report, but I
assure you there is no truth in it, and it
lis nothing but the old story revived,
which we have contradicted time after
time'' go.
lis there any truth in the statement
that Mr. Spreckels issued bonds to the
amount of So 200, 600 on his refinery, but
found it impossible to sell them alta price
to. suit him, and that the American COM
pany advanced him, large amount of
cash and took the bonds as secur1ty?'
/, Absolutely none whatever. / cannot
imagine where all the srumors originate.
Some people are evidently more convers-
ant with our affairs than we are our
selves, but they are only procuring us a
lot of cheap advertising by spreading
such stories.

CAPE MAY, N. j., Aug. 27.-An arrest
was made here today which may cause
considerable comment in both America
and Europe. Senior Manuel Seone, a

SUCCESSFUL ExPERIMENTs.
Rais, Produced in Dry w Weather in Texas
by the uee of Dynamite.


by the of Dynamite.
MIDLAND, Tex, Ang. 27.-The labors
of the rainmakers, whom Uncle Jerry
Rusk sent down here to try to pump
water out of cloudless skies, are practi-
cally at an end, so far as this particular
locality is concerned. General Dyren-
forth will leave for Washington tomorrow
to be gone about ten days. Heis highly
pleased with the success of the expert
ments, and has perfect faith thai the
power of making rain has been secured.
From a barren dry alkali prairie this
country has been transformed into first
class pasture land. The experiments
have not yet been conducted upon the
extensive scale of the program first laid
out by General Dyrenforth, but sufficient
has been done to demonstrate that the
right plan for making rain when it is
NJ eded has been discovered. The bal
looms, owing to the present Inadequate
means of making oxygen in large guam
titles, have not been dazzling success,
but the rackarock powder and dynamite
have worked wonders! with the atmos-
phere. The explosions of any large
amount of dynamite and rackarock were
followed by rain in side of eight hours,
upon eight or ten occasions.
Last evenings was the final and most
conclusive and satisfactory of any of the
experiments. The night was clear and
there was every indication of a long dry
spell. Five balloons were sent up and
exploded. A stiff gale was blowing from
the east and they drifted far toward the
setting sun before they exploded. The
battle on the ground, were rackarock
and dynamite took the place of heavy
artillery, lasted from O'Clock until 10;
then the general and his forces retired

SACRAMENTO, Aug. 27.-The hop crop,
whith is an important industry in Sacra
mento county, is vey nearly failure.
Not more than half a crop will be turned
off by the yards in this county and Yolo.
Many vines are turning red and the hop
is also the color of the setting sun. The
produce is SO rusted that it cannot be
sulphured so as to sell. All this is also
eight SO that it is a dead loss to the
growers. A change has come in the last
week and it is distressful surprise to-
cultiyators. 1t puts entirely q new as
pect to the California, hop market. The
red color is thought to be due to long dry
spells and hot weather. Misleading
kilograms have been sent out by buyers
within the past few days, saying that
the crop in this valley will be above the
average, when in fact the reverse is the
case

Old Words and New.

Some of the words used by old fashioned
country people, and laughed at by those who
hear them, are not corruptions of language,
but merely survivals of the old forms-forms
so old that many educated persons have for
gotten, or perhaps have never known, that
they were once in good and regular standing
as English words.
Ii an old woman lakes your pardon" she Is
speaking as the most careful English schol-
ars spoke for hundreds of years, down almost
to the end of the sixteenth century. Thus
in Wycliffe's New Testament-about 1880
we read, "What man of you ia, that if his son
axe hymn breed, whethir he wole take hymn a
stoon?" And Coverdale's translation OF the
gospel according to st. Matthew, published
in 1885, has AXE and it shall be given you"
So, too, when the same old woman says
"piny" instead of peony, she is only follow
ing the ancient usage. In William Brownies
"Brittannia's Pastorals," printed in 1915, the
poet contrasts the ''ruddy piny with the light
er roses"
1t amuses the schoolgirl of the present day
to hear llacs called "laylocks," but Walter
Savage Lander always said laylocks, follow
ing, rs his biographer tells US, pronuncia-
ton traditional in many old English fami-
lies"
When an Irishman speaks of his "fader and
moder," he is guilty of nothing worse than
talking older English than we are accustomed
to hear Worschipe thi fadir and thi modir,"
says Wycliffes New Testament.
"Axe," "lsylock" and the like are now vul-
garisms, and are to be avoided, but it is well
enough 10 know that they were once as well
received in good society as their successors
are at present.

A Singular Horse.

A funny story is told of Dean Swift, who
was witty man, and fond Of joke at the
expense of other people, as most witty peo-
pie are. One very cold night, when he was
travelling, he stopped at a little inn. There
was only one fire in the house, and the guests
of the inn, crowdng about it, left no place
for The new conner.
With solemn face Dean Swift called TO the
hostler. and told him 10 get peck of oys-
tiers Immediately and take them out to his
horse.
Twill your horse eat oysters, sr?" asked
the astonished man.
"Just take them out aud see," said the
horses master.
The people around the fire stared at the
man who owned this curious horse, and near
ly every one of them left his seat and went
out to see the remarkable horse eating oys-
tiers.
Then the cunning Dean made himself COM
Portable in the warmest corner, and ordered
his supper.
Presently back came the hostler, with the
disappointed crowd after him.
He won't touch them, sir !" cried the host
Ter.
"Then take the foolish animal all the o ITS
he can eat" replied Dean Swift. "You can
bring the oysters here I'll eat them for sup.

Calcutta and Its Associations.

Calcutta cannot be fairly classed among
those places which attract one at first sight.
The Hoogly river, upon which it stands,
might more justly be called the Ugly river,
and the city itself is merely big, snowy, fiat,
dusty, thoroughly modern town, which, being
neither so ancient nor 80 conveniently situ-
sted as its two great rivals, Madras and Bonn
bay, might well seem to have become the
metropolis of India by mistake. But if there
is not much romance in its outward appear
ance there is more than enough in the asso-
Citations connected with it.
Not ten minutes walk from this hotel in
which write lies beneath the shadow of the
shining dome and jaunty pink columns of
the new postofice that fatal spot where 1873
English prisoners died of suffocation in one
night, cursing with their last breath the saw
age despot whose cruelty has handed down
to remotest ages the terrible name of the
Black Hole of Calcutta. In the very centre
of the busting and populous business quar-
ter once stood, if native tradition may be
trusted, the gloomy temple of the demon who
presides over secret murder, whence the fu-
ture capital took its name of kali Kutt ali
(Kali's shrine.)
