in towns where such entertainments
were of rare occurrence One night,
when he was persistently applauded, he
returned to sing a second song, but was
surprised by a stentorian voice from the
audience:
''Oh, we don't want nOthin new! Sing
the fust piece right over aGin!"
At another time the audience was so
wildly appreciative that it refused to
consider the concert at an end. and
clamored loudly for Just one more" 1t
was given, aud then another demanded.
Patience failed the singer at this point,
and he begged his manager to go before
the curtain and state that he really was
unable to sing any more. And thus was
the statement worded:

can't sing no more tonight. He can't,

A similar story comes from another
singer who could not refrain from tell

a fastidious little lady, pronounced it

The lady had been taken i'll after eat

the hotel, and sent her manager word
that she really could not sing. He ac-

were crying hang them! burn them!' and

be lynched, but thanks to cool heads the

acter he came out in a very salty editorial,
abusing the editor of that paper, Mr.. Nj.
ID. Irwin. He scored him in a very indig-
nant and unsparing manner and applied to
him such epithets as liar and ''slanderer,''
further qualified by such verbs as slap,
"cowhide" and ''kick.'
This provoked another leader from The
Living Issues, and in that article it was
charged that Mr.. Conley was a rascal and
a villain and had moreover appropriated
large sum of money.
The article was exceedingly bitter and
COnley was denounced with every eplthet
known to polite literature.
This was more than Conley could stand,
for while his opponents could not impeach
him they could certainly injure his charac-
ter by publishing such ISLANDERS about him..

THE GOLD SEEKER.
Thousands on Their Way to the Fields IN
Utah.


Denver, December 23.-The greatest
gold fever that has stricken Colorado
since the Ruby and California Gulch dgg-
ings drew thousands Of miners into those
camps, has now complete possession of the
west Here, as well as i'll every camp OF
Colorado, New Mexico and Arizona, there
is nothing talked of except the new places;
fields of San Juan silver in southern Utah.
At Durango. Rico and Dolores in this
state many outfits have already been started
for the new fields, and by Saturday i:
is estima that three hundred miners
will have left for these points. Mining
men in almost every town are clubbing to-
gethcr and offering big inducements to
professional prospectors to visit the mines.
At Albuquerque, n. NJ, and other points
along the line OF the Atlantic and Pacific,
the excitement is intense and railway otfi-
Gals and clerks have thrown up their po-
sitions and followed the great army of gold
hunters The fact that of the many who
have already gone Oh to this country none
have returned, is strong evidence that the
land is rich.
A new stage line will be established from
Albuquerque. Pennington and Winston
along the line of the Atlantic and Pacific
and also from Durango and Dolores, Colo,
on the line of the Denver and Rio Grande.
The new gold fields are probably most ac-
cessable by way Of the latter points, which
are only ninety miles out of the way. a
stage runs by way of Bluff City, Utah,
which is now the nearest settlement.

pletely buried in the mud and water the
body of the doctor was found. A dow
across the front of his face, which had
broken his nose and stunned him, showed
tha he lad been assaulted.
The suppOstion is that some one entlced

with a club and then threw him into the
swamp. The blow was not sufficient to
kill and he was in reality drowned.

Miss Allie M. Jones, of Ferry Pass, Fla,
has given to the press q statement OF the re-
cent Southern Female university scandal
which is very damaging to the president,
l.. ID. Bass, and completely vindicates
Miss Brown.
Miss Jones attended the university in
birmingham at the time the scandal occur
red and was rooming with Miss Brown
when Bass is alleged to have entered. Her
statement of the affair is very different from
the published accounts. She claims that
two of the ministers who were on the com
mittee to examine into the matter called
Miss Brown and herself into the parlor
after their verdict had been rendered which
exonerated Bass, and told them that their
stories (hers and Miss Brown's) were fully
believed but that the committee was forced
to whitewash Bass in order to save the
reputation of The school. Miss Jones's
statement is lengthy and is a complete re-
view of the affair from beginning to finish.
