For two yeors this maiden, so original
saved all the envelopes which brought her
letters, and when she had enough she
took pot of paste and covered her walls.
The letters we're pasted on in the order OF
their coming and male qlite serial story.
They are of all shades and sizes and of sew

special significance.
One in black border is from a dear coli

and not far away is one which brought the
tidings Of a happy marriage OF another
chum in distant Italy.
The owner of this collection would not
exchange it for any wall paper Buffalo

What a Mining Expert Says About
What L @ Saw.
KNOXVILLE, Tenn, Aug. 22.-The
Knoxville Journals representative Wis
tied Chilhownee mountains lying along
the east side Of McMinn county, where a
widely known mining expert, Capt
Harris Of Birmingham, was en-
gagged in developing an immense
body OF iron ore on what is known as the
McSpadden property. This body of brown
ore has been known many years. but never
developed until within the past three weeks.
1t has been owned by a farmer for
fourteen years, but in the past
month was secured by company of Ala
bama iron men, who sent Capt. Harris to
develop it. The result of his work shows it
to be
THE LARGEST KNOWN BODY OF ORE
in the United States and of unusu ally good
quality. 1t is in strstified form from 100 to
$50 thick, and runs alongside the mountain
over one and half miles, with sandstone
roof andklimestone foundation. Openings
show wonderfully fine ore, and Capt.
Harris says 1t will run so per cent. He says
it is the finest ore body he ever saw, aud he
has opened mines in Kentucky, Tennessee,
Georgia and Alabama iron regions.
MORE ORE is IN SIGHT
on the McSpadden property than in all the
iron mines of Alabama. He says he would
rather contract to mine this ore at IS cents
a ton than another he knows of at Is cents.
1t is SO clean and solid that the
expense for washing is not necessary
This body of ore is within one and one-half
miles of the Knoxville Southern railroad
and is so situated that it can be loaded on
cars for IS cents ton.

CLEVER DIAMOND SMUGGLING
Use Which Was Made of Skye Ter
rier TO Cheat Uncle sam.

Use Which Was Made of a Skye Ter
rier TO Cheat Uncle sam.
From the Jeweler's Weekly.
Talking about smuggling reminds me Of
a trick saw resorted to by passenger on
one of the big ocean steamships couple OF
years ago." said a loquecious commercial
traveller. you know there is duty on
diamonds, aud one of the passengers had
three large stones, worth several thousand
dollars, which he mad purchased in London.
The problem of how to evade paying duty
on the stones worried him considerably, but
at last he evolved a plan. and few days
before the steamer arrived in New York he
proceeded TO execute il.
1.-THE chief officer had a little Skye-ter-
rier, and the passenger after considerable
coaXinR induced him to sell the dog. As
soon as the smuggler gained possession of
the animal he tied him up and gave him
nothing to eat until just before we were TO
go ashore. He then procured some fat meat
from tue cook, and cutting off a piece "a
little larger than walnut made a hove in
it1nto which he placsd one of the dia-
monds
"a dog will generally bolt piece of fat
without chewing it aud, Of course. dla-
mond will go down with it. The hungry
dog swallowed the meat as his owner ex-
pected he would and in a short time the
three diamonds were safely slowed in his
interior. The diamond smuggler had no
difficulty in evading the vigilance of the
custom house Officials, and was soon on his
way uptown leading the dog by a suring.
II met him again a few days afterward
and asked him how he recovered the stones.
Easily enough he replied. AS soon as
got home shot the dog and found the dia-
monds after short search. OF course |
felt sorry for the dog, but dogs are cheap
and the tariff on stones is high, and never
allow sympathy tointerfere with business

REAL ESTATE MEN FAIL.
Local Money Stringency Causes
MONTGOMERY Firm to Assign

Local Money Stringency Causes q
Montgomery Firm to Assign.
MONTGOMERY, ALA, Aug. 22.-At noon
to-day Chandler Bros. made an assignment
TO W. T. Hatchett and Hartwell Douglass
for the benefit of their creditors The
firm does a real estate and saw
ings bank business. Their assets are
about $4,000, and their liabili-
titles about $4,000. In this amount of liza
bilities there are about $25, 900 OF deposits.
Most of the assets are in real estate. The
failure was caused by the local money
stringency. They had a slight run since
yesterday, when the Farley National Bank
suspended, but this run did not
cause the assignment. They needed
some accommodation from other banks to
continue business, which could ordinarily
have been obtained. 1t is believed that
their assets are of such solid character
that no one will lose by the assignment.

BLAZE FONT GO.
The Chinese Minister at Washington
Says He Wont be Acceptable to the
EmDarOr.

The Chinese Minister at Washington
Says He Wont be Acceptable to the
Emperor.
Associated Press Dispatch by Special Wires.
WASHINGTON, April GA representa-.
tive Of the Associated Press this morning
called at the Chinese legation here and had
an interview with Minister Yen in regard
to the declination Of his government to
receive Senator Blair as the accredited rep
resentative of the United States.
Mr.. Yen said through an interpreter
that he had received a cablegram from the
Chinese foreign office in Which lie was in
structed to lay before Secl .try Blaine
without delay expressing the unwilling
ness OF the emperor to receive Mr.. Blair.
Other than this Mr.. Yen had received no
instructions written or otherwise from his
government on the subject.
The minister had never had occasion to
ascertain what had been Senator Blair's
attitude toward China or the Chinese resi-
dents in this country, and not until his
recent return from Peru had the senator's
utterances on the Chinese question as re-
ported in the Congressional Record been
brought to his attention.
The minister conveyed the impression
that he had simply stated facts to his
government and aside from that had not
sought to influence its decision either
favorably TO the senator or unfavorably.
This action of the Chinese authorities
has not created the least excitement here
as it had been anticipated by many from
the first.
The proceeding is not a very unusual
one and cannot be construed as indicating
an unfriendly feeling toward this govern
ment.
