The Stern Parent Rclents.

An elopement, which has furnished
much gossip and which was attended
with some sensational features, occur
red in Petersburg yesterday. For sew
eral months past Mr.. William +. Blsh-
Oh, a we'll known young man of that
CITY, and Miss Grace Eanes, daughter
of Captain George H. Eanes, proml-
nent merchant, have been ardent lovers,
but the suit Of the young man was not
looked upon with favor by the young
lady's parents, who interposed their
objection to the match. 1t is stated
that Mr.. Bishop has not been visitor
at Miss Eanes's house for the past two
or three months, but the couple kept
up correspondence. In accordance
with an appointment previously made,
Mr.. Bishop yesterday morning bravely
drove in hack to the residence of his
intended bride and took her to the
Union depot for the purpose of taking
the southbound train for Halifax, NC.
to have their marriage celebrated. But
before the departure of the train Capt.
Eanes received a message to the elect
that his daughter was about to elope
with Bishop, and he at once hurried to
the depot. When Capt. Eanes reached
the station his daughter was seated in
one of the cars and Bishop was at the
ticket office purchasing his railroad
tickets. Capt Eanes took his daughter
from the car and was on his way home
with her when he was overtaken in the
street by Bishop who demanded that
she should be released. After a good
deal of discussion over the matter the
father of the young lady gave his con-
sent to the marriage upon the condition
that the couple should live with him.
The two lovers then hurried back to
the depot, took the train, and were
soon on their journey to the place Sc
lected to have the nuptial knot tied.
Mr.. Bishop is twenty-one years of age
and is a clerk in hat store. Miss
Eanes is eighteen and quite pretty.

How TO MAKE MERINGuEs.-Whisl

How TO MAKE Observation-Disclosures
some whites of eggs to stiff froth, mix
with them with a spoon quickly and
thoroughly, some sugar finely powder
ed in the proportion of one tablespoon
full for each white egg used, then place
sheet of white paper on a meringue
board, and with a tablespoon lay out
the mixture on it in heaps about the
size of an egg and about two inches
apart, taking care to make them ali as
near as possible the same size and even
" shaped. Strew little powered sug-

stick to the meringues and at once
place the board in a moderate oven.
When the meringues have assumed q
straw color and are hard to the touch,
take them out, detach them from the
paper carefully and either scoop out
the inside or press it in with tea
spoon. Then replace them in the oven
on a baking sheet to dry for half an
hour or so. The oven must be very
slack, and it is best to leave the door of

SATURDAY EVENING, APRIL %, 1898.
THERE WERE glaring exceptions, but

THERE WERE glazing exceptions, but
most of the old army and navy people
Nho fought on the side of the North
during the war between the States, did
so from convictions of duty, and were
no harsher than duty compelled them
to be. Their successors, too, as gen.
eral rule, are right-thinking and right
feeling men. A dispatch from Honolulu
to the New York Herald says that at a
recent dinner given there, at which
Minister Stevens and Captain Ludlow
ofthe U.S.ship Mohican, were among the
guests, the latter,in response to an anu
sion by the former to thepresent condi-
ton of affairs there, said to him that
had he, Ludlow, been i'll command OF
the q. S. ship there, no marines Woulu
have been landed and that every body
understands his, Stevens, actions. In
this the Captain certainly rejected the
feelings of most of the disinterested ana
thinking men of his country.

Rolling UP the Curtain.

Everybody knows what a theatre
looks like with the electric lights turn
ed on, the music playing and the vast
auditorium filled with men and women
in gala attire. We have all seen that
side of it again and again, but were you
ever inside of one when the plush-coy-
cred seats wore their linen busters and
the sunlight came creeping through the
narrow chinks, throwing gruesome
shadows upon the forms Of the corps OF
workers who were hurrying to prepare
for the evenings performance and re-
pair the havoc made by the foregoing
one ? If you have not you have yet to
90 through a very novel experience.
The curtain is rolled up, and on the
stage one sees libraries of books that
are but paste-board representations OF
famous authors, and decorations and
scenery that at night appear so rich and
elegant show up in tawdry contrast
when the light of day streams in upon
them. The house is like some types of
people that we know-it has dotted its
company manners and reveals the
true nature when there is no one to
please by the lights, the music and the
imitation grandeur. How many of us
roll I'D the curtain and show our
real selves when there is nothing to be
gained by winning smile and gentle
manner Many of us are ready enough
to show of. but in our own family circle
we lay aside our company manners as
we do our company clothes, and we do
not seem to care if we reveal the fact
that the gentleness was assumed and
the smiles forced. Every woman knows
that she has one set of manners for
general use. She keeps her sweetest
ways and pleasantest words for those
who love her least, and often wounds
the hearts of her dear ones just because
she reasons that they don't count and
she can say and do as she feels inclined
with them. Dear women-they
count more than all else in the
world. The evanescent admiration of
casual acquaintance counts for nothing
in comparison with the true affection of
those whom you consider commonplace.
Keep your company manners for them,
treat them to the sweet smiles and low
ing words, for they are the ones who
should be given your best in return for
the staunch and loyal affection they feel
for you.-Albany Telegram.

say there is no sense in fondling negroes

their votes bought by the democrats on

are better friends of the negroes than
the republicans are, says that statement
alone sis positive proof that the editor
has sold out his race for the office he
expects to get Ali this shows the esti-

by their professed friends. Whether it
is true or not is not for the democrats

These words were written by Thomas

AFTER JEFF DAvIs's HoUsE.-Mrs
]. Taylor Ellyson, of Richmond, chair
man of the Relic Committee of the
Southern Memorial and Literary So
ciety, yesterday received letter from
n. F. Notlaw,Iof Chicago, stating that
if the society is willing to dispose OF
the Jefferson Davis mansion, a COM
pany, in wnich he is interested, wish to
buy it and remove the structure to the
Worlds Fair city. He offers to pay

build on the site suitable house for

a liberal donation to start the museum.
The mansion, which is often spoken of
as the "White House of the Confedera-
cy." belongs to the city of Richmond,
and has for many years been used for
school purposes. Recently the city
voted its use to the Southern Memorial
and Literary Society for museum.
Mrs. Ellyson will bring the matter to
