AMBASSADOR VAN ALIEN.



James J. Van Allen, who is named am
bassador to Italy, offended the William
Aston family greatly by marrying its
eldest daughter. The estrangement lasted
till her death, in 1856. 1t is said he wants
to 60 to Italy to show the Astors that he
can get on as high a rung of the social
ladder as any of them have up to this
climbed by his own effort. He usually
spends his winters abroad and his sum
mers in palatial house at Newport, r. l.,
which is built in the old English style
and completely surrounded by a stone
wall seven feet high. The house itself is
filled with English furniture and old En-
glish hangings, bric-a-brac and adorn-
ments of all kinds, and those who have
been entertained by Mr.. Van Allen say
that the hail stand is covered with can
dies at night held in old-fashioned hold
ers, and that this is all the light supplied
for lighting guests to their bedrooms. Mr.
Van Allen has always been one of the most
indefatigable entertainers at Newport,
and his entertainments have been ar
ranged on the most generous basis and
usually have been characterized by re-
markable originality. 1t was he who
brought Lillian Russell to Newport sew
eral summers ago and paid her $500 for
singing two songs.

Fort Valley, Ca, Sept. 22.-In a few
days n. Deitzen q Bro. will ship car

acter. Mr.. Voolfolk managed Mr.. Gums
merchantile interest, and the suit grows
out of remarks made by Mr. Gum con-

has organized several large companies
who have purchased lands along this

before.
DOESN'T SEEM TO BE "oUT OF SIGHT"
An influential northern gentleman, who
owns considerable real estate in this
county, remarked to your correspondent
the other day: you do not know what
a hard time the medium-well-to-do peo-
pie of the north have had this year. And
you are going to see them flock to Georgia
| in drOves as soon as cold weather sets in.
! l am sorry to say, though, that none of
! thom will come to Fort Valley with
| view to investing from the fact
! that Your land owners have
/ raised the price of their lands so high
! that l am advising them not to do so.
| They can buy just as good land and just
| as accessible as any in this section for
/ two-thirds less than they can around
| Fort Valley Why, man, just think of it F;
! your land owners give in their lands for
/ taxes at an average of SO an acre and
! when our northern friends come down
/ here to buy land, they charge them from
/ SIS to $50 an acre, This will turn invest

The New Church Organ.

In one Of the small towns in northern Mis-
souri,, few years ago, one Of the churches
concluded that an organ would add to the at
fractions OF the church and the services and
after asGertaining the general feeling OF the
members in regard TO the matter decided to
purchase one. As is always the case, SAYS
the Globe emocrat, there were few dis
seEting voices. The most aggressive oppO-
sition was from Bro T., deacon He OBJ
lccted TO an organ. He believed IL sinful to
play upon any kind OF instrument during
services. But the majority of the little foe.
We're not disposed to think exactly that way
and purchased the orgau, contrary TO the
deacon $ wishes. The following Sunday after
the organ had leen pla, ed IN the church the

mis- usual custom. The orgauist PLAYED "A

LORD SALISBURY ON HOME RULE.

TAKING THE FoRD's THEATRE DISASTER AS A
TEXT FOR AN ATTACK on MR.. GLADSTONE.
London. June 1.-THE first I'm the series OF meet
ings designed by the Unionists to rouse all London
against Home Rule held I'm The Royal surrey
Theatre this evening. The Marquis Of Salisbury was
the most notable speaker lie Illustrated his opinion
Of MIR. Gladstone's action toward Ireland with an
elaborate metaphor based on the account OF inc
recent disaster In Washington. The Premier, he
said was digging cellar under the ancient fabric
Of the Empire lie was working carelessly, as did
the men under the old theatre In Washington. ~ he
should be allowed TO continue his task all three
floors OF the Imperial buildnc-TlIrone, Church and
Palliament-wonld come crashing down around the
heads OF the destructive Liberal party
At present everything tended 10 favor the courage
Gus fight that the Unionists were making against
the ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF the Empire. Several Liberal
members Of Parliament had already refused TO fol-
low their Ministers. The Irish leaders were busy
oudrrelling among themselves There were signs on
every side that the dark night Of Apprehension was
almost spent and the dawn was bIrl4lne The
political conditions under which alone Home Rule
would be possible were vanishing slowly but GER

conclusion upon which they will reconsider ,heir
