A family in which a Davis Sewing Ma

marriage. The question as to
what the bride should carry to her new
home. as the particular gift of Father
and Mother. 1t was promptly decided
that nothing could be so appropriate
as the sewing machine. The Mother
looked at the dear old machine, which
had served her so faithfully for so many
years: upon which Baby's wee gar

had just been finished hcr wedding

CLEVELAND's SUMMER HOME.
Bclvoir, near Washington, is whcrc
II President and Family will find

lScSt.
During these hot summer nights,
President Cleveland finds relief from
the heat n turmoil OF the city by
retiring to his country residence, about
two miles northwest of the White
House. The house, to which is given
the name Of BelvOir-a name doubtless
suggested by Mrs. Clevcland's poetic
fancy-is situated on high ground
overlooking the capital city. 1t is in
the same general section as Mr.. Clcve-
threc-quarters of u mile nearer the
city. 1t may be. or it may not be,
significant that while Mr.. Cleveland
bought his former country home, he
has only leased this one.
The house is an old one, with u his
tory. The estate Of which it is Il part
vas owned originally by John Platter
and Philip Barton Key, b~rothcrs-in-
law who finished the bnilding in 1900.
Previously, shortly before the site of
the capitol vas chosen, President
Washington stood ON the front steps Of
the mansion and remarked that tho
future capitol ought to be built either
upon the identical spot or upon the
site that was afterwards adopted on
Capitol Hill. During Philip Barton
Keys residence there, Francis Scott
Key, author of the Star Spanglcd
Banner" spent much of his youth on
the place, and his name may still be
seen carved on one of the window panes
in the front hall.
Several of the old-timc Presidents,
among them Van Buren,, Tyler and
buchanan, passed their summer
leisure there. In 1917 the house was
occupied by Baron Gcrault, the Cor
man minister to- the United States.
Gen. Scott selected it as the site for
the Soldiers Home of the regular
army, but owing to u misundcrstand-
ing with the owner as to the terms,
the property was not taken for that
purpose. Likewise, the commission
appointed to locate q site for the new
naval observatory decided upon this
property, but their decision was recon
sidercd and the observatory was
erected on the Barber estate. to the
westward. Shortly before the war,
Robert j. Walker, Secretary Of the
Treasury, secured the ownership of
the mansion and made some additions
to it. and his heirs held it until 1863.
when it passed into the possession of
the Middleton family, the present
owners. in connection with Congress-

DEATH, OF DIR. ALEXANDER.-Dr.
William j. Alexander, of Darlington,
died ON the 18th inst. from a stroke Of
apoplexy. He fingered a couple of
days after he was stricken down, but
he was unconscious and without suf-
fering. The Darlington correspondent
OF the News and Courier writes as fol-
lows:
DR.. Alexander was for five years the
pastor Of the Baptist Church here
prior to his occupancy of the chair of
mental and moral philosophy in the
South Carolina College. His public
career Is well known throughout our
State and beyond its borders, and here,
as elsewhere, he was beloved and
honored. His character was singular
ly strong and pure, and the life pur-
poses that ~intleNibly animated his
every action made Il man of rare moral
symmetry and worth. He was q lover
OF truth and right, and his life eX-
empliied in its smallest details these
e%nnobling virtues.
That he was cut of in the midst of
his years, with life before him, only
adds to the sadness and grief felt at
the closing of II career of such worth
and with the promise of such large
and noble fruition.
Inc lnIerment was at the Baptist
Cemetery this afternoon. a pouring
rain not keeping away the large num-
ber' OF friends assembled to pay this
last mark of respect. Business was
suspended as the casket. literally
covered with floral offerings, bore it,
burden to its last resting place.
Some time before his death Dr.,
Alexander expressed a desire for the
simplest and most informal funeral
ceremonies. In accordance with thi,
expressed wish and also at the specia.
request Of the family, MIR. Henry ~
Thompson read portions of the Episco
pal burial service. In the enforced
absence Of Il friend who loved the deat
man as Il brother, MIR. Thompson. a
the request of this friend, read thi,
selection as Il suitable epitaph:
His life was gentle, and the elc
ments so mixed in him that natur,
might stand up and say to all the world
This was q man.
DIR. Alexander leaves u wife an
three children, and with them the con-
munity shares with deepest sympnth,
the sense of bereavement and loss tina
all too soon comes from this sad an,
untimely death.

A FABLE FOR FATHERs.-Heswa was
the son Of q worthy citizen, and had
just returned from college. His father
was q brusQue, matter-of-fact man, VII
had no liking for anything pronounced,
and he noticed with sorrow that his
son returned with the latest thing in
collars, and various other insignia Of
dudedum. The old gentleman survey
ed him critically when he appeared in
his office and then blurted out -" Young
man, you look like an idiot"
Just at that moment, and before the
young man had time to make II fitting
reply, a friend walked in.

ed" he asked. Dear me. how much
you resemble your father"
Sol he has been telling me-" replied
Billy.
And from that day to this the old
gentleman has had no fault to find with
his SON..

How THE HYMN ORIGINATED.-It is
well known that the hymn Hold the
Fort" was inspired by the story of the
signals exchanged by Gems. Sherman
and Corse when the latter was besicgcd
at Allatoona, Ca, but few know how
the idea was brought to Mr.. Moody's
mind. The Boston Globe says that
once, when Gcn. and Mrs. Corse lived
in Chicago, Mr.. Moody called. While
there he took up u book that told the
story of the famous conflict in which
Corsc had been so badly wounded, and
seeing the message from Con. Sher-
man Hold the fort? for / am COM
ing" exclaimed enthusiastically !:
What u magnificent motto that
would be for a marching song for the
army of Christ" And the day after
the famous hymn was written, begin
ming with Hold the fort, for I am com
ing, Jesus signals still, !" II hymn that has
been sung almost in every hamlet on
the continent, and whose strains across
the ocean have become familiar to the
oars of men who never heard of Gen.
Corse or the beleaguercd mon at
Allatoona.

The TEMPLE OF BAAL.
A Whole Village Now Enclosed Withia
the Ancient Walls.

A Whole village Now Enclosed Withia
the Ancient Walls.
There rises huge wall, seventy-five
feet high, inclosing a square court, of
which the side is four hundred and
seventy feet long. Part of the wall, hav-
ing fallen into ruins, has been rebuilt
from the ancient materials, but the
whole of the north side, with its beau
tiful pilasters, remains perfect.
As the visitors enter the court they
stand still in astonishment at the ex-
traordinary sight which meets their
eyes, for here, crowded within those
four walls, is the native village of Tad
mar. 1t was natural enough for the
Arabs to build their mud huts within
these ready-made Notifications, admits
Blackwood's Magazine, but the impress
sion produced by such a village in such
place is indescribably strange. The
temple, so TO speak, is eaten out at the
core, and little but the shell remains.
But here and there fluted Corinthian
column or group of columns, with en-
tablature still perfect, rises in stately
grace far over the wretched huts, the
rich, creamy color of the limestone and
the beautiful holdings Of the capitals
contrasting with the clear blue of the
cloudiess sky. The best view of the
whole is to be obtained from the roof of
the naos, which, once beautiful and
adorned with sculpture, is now all bat
tered and defaced and has been meta
morphosed into squalid little mosque.
To describe the view from that roof
were indeed hopeless task. High into
the clear blue air and the golden sun
shine rise the stately columns; crowded
and jumbled and heaped together be-
low, untouched by the gladdening sun
beams, unrefreshed by the pure, fresh
air, lies all the squalor and wretched-
ness of an Arab mud hut village

charter Yesterday do not mean that a
charter is not needed; they mean that
one is wanted which will meet the ex-
igencies OF the time. No charter now
is only one degree worse than the one
which has just been set aside. From
now until the opening OF the Legislature
the citizens of Phoenix should make a
careful study of the needs Of the city.
Let public meetings be held and let
views of honest common sense men be
heard and prevail. 1t certainly can not
be difficult to agree upon a proper
measure and when agreed upon, pro-
ject it upon the legislature with all the
momentum that unanimity Of purpose
can produce.
