Old Time Advice on Marriage,

E. E. H., in Central Presbyterian.
Lord Burleigh's advice to his
son about marriage is quaint and
pointed, if not very high-toned.
"From marriage will spring all thy
future good or evil; and it is an
action of life like unto stratagem
of war; wherein a man can err but
once If thy estate be good, match
near at home at leisure; if weak,
far off and quickly"
He seems to advise his son to
perpetrate a fraud on some rich
woman. He writes further: "In-
qulre diligently Of her disposition
Let her not be poor, however
generous, for a man can buy moth,
ing in the market with gentility
Nor choose a base and uncomely
creature altogether for her wealth
for it will cause contempt in others
and loathing in the. Neither make
choice of a dwarf, nor fool; fol
by the one thou shalt be father of
a race of pigmies, the other will b
thy continual disgrace, and it vii
yirke thee to hear her talk. Fo
thou shalt fine to thy great grief
thatt here is nothing more fulsom
than q she fool.''

Kathleen Mavourneen.

Who does not remember Kath-
leon Mavourneen, the beautiful
Irish melody that divas have
Warbled, royalties have hummed,
and frequent chanting has made
one of the most celebrated songs
in the musical world? 1t is by
Crouch, many have affirmed; but
who Crouch was and is, and where
ne lives, are questions that have
not been persistent enough to ill.,
duce one to talk. T. N. Crouch
was born in England eighty-four
years ago. He is resident of
Baltimore, where he lives in an
obscure street, in a tiny house.
With him are a son and daughter,
the former being an adopted child,
and having a romantic history of
his own, that would be as we'll to
relate now as later. A boy. named
James Marion Roche, born at New
Ross, in Kilkenny, learned the
melody of Kathleen Mavourneen
When he was a child. He con-
ceived passionate fondness for
the song, and ldealized it's author.

through the Jail to prove the truth
of his statement. His statement
and the aspect of Jailer Watts, the
Democratic candidate for the State
Senate, did much to peacify the
crowd. But they hung around the
jail and adjacent streets for several
hours afterwards, many proposing
to search for the secreted prisoner.
Atmidnight the scene had qniet-
ed down, and no further trouble is
expected. The militia remain un-
der the mayors orders, although it
ls probable that they will not be
called out again.
Mayor Trout is firm in the posi-
ton he has assumed, and declares
that he will uphold the laws. The
dead were removed to the under
taking establishments and will be
prepared for burial.

A DESPERATE MOB MET BY DETERMINED

ROANOKE, Va, Sept. 10.-One OF
the most dastardly crimes in the
history of the city occurred at
10 o'clock this morning. Mrs.
Henry S. Bishop, aged about so
years and a respectable white wo-
man from Cloyendale, eight miles
from this city, was enticed by q
negro named Thomas Smith from
the market where she had come to
sell produce into an empty stall il.

insensib,lity and robbed her of
her pocket book, containing less.
than 50.
The woman was left for dead but
managed to revive a few moments
later and crawled up to the street
where she told her story.
The iend had in the meantime
escaped. but was detected from the
description given by Mrs. Bishop,
boarding an outgoing train. A
colored man jumped on the car
and grabbed the criminal, the two
fell to the ground. A crowd inn
mediately surrounded the prisoner
and threats of lynching were LOUD
and frequent. Detective W.. W..
Baldwin seized the man and hold
ing the crowd at bay with his re-
volver started on horseback with
the frightened negro behind him.
He rode to the saloon where the
wounded woman was removed and
'he positively identified him. He

Why Booth Killed Lincoln.

A new story has been started as to
why Booth killed Lincoln.
Lieut.. james B. Jamison of lake
Como, Putnam county. Fla, who
commanded the body guard of
President Lincoln until it was
assigned to other duty about two
weeks before the assassination, and
who was called into the room
where Mr.. Lincoln was carried
after being shot and saw him
breathe his last said recently upon
the subject to a reporter of the
Philadelphia Times:
ct have seen in print many
stories of the plot against Lincoln's
life, many of them blaming the
South, but never the true one. The
facts are Booth nad very dear
actor friend named Anderson, who
was condemned 10 be shot as a spy.
Prior to this time Baoth and LIN
coin had been friends. A strong
effort was made in Anderson's
behalf, so strong that a Cabinet
meeting was held, and in some way
Booth managed to appear at the
meeting and plead with tears il ms
eyes for his friends life. He lett
the meeting with the understanlng
that the sentence would be COM
muted to imprisonment. Anderson
WAS shot the following morning at
sunrise.
aBooth was frenzicd with rage,
and it was as a result of this that
the plot to kill not only Licoln but
the entire Cabinet was formed.
There was more than one man pre-
pared to shoot that night, and If
the courage of the man to whom
was entrusted the duty of turning
out the theatre lights had not
failed him, there would have been
: a general slaughter. The South had aa
} nothing to do with President
Tincoln's assassination, and, more
over, Mrs. sarratt, who was hanged
for completely IN the crime, was
on on innocent woman. I know it to
be a fact that Chief OF secre.
Service Baker on his death6ed
:, confessed to Secretary Stanton that
, Mrs. Surratt was hanged on per-
liured evidence"

and under the platforms and even
upon the roofs of the coaches.
The soldiers soon recovered, how
ever, and with fixed bayonets
cleared the train and compelled
everybody to show his or her GER
tifcate before entering. But on
every side the people tough t and
struggled to get near the cars.
The women had their clothes
torn off and men were knocked
down and trampled upon.
Scores of people were injured,
yet the struggle kept up until the
train was filled.

NOAH'S CURSE REVERSED,
Or How to Turn Negroes White.
Rich and Racy.

Away back in the sixties, a few
months after Lees surrender, I met
Uncle Cephas one day climbing the
hill to the village in high dudgeon
He was in a hurry and he had his
big stick in his hand. Anger and
hurry were in Uncle Cephas's case
quite synonymous words; and
when lie toted that stick the world
knew he meant business. On my
return, half an hour later, I found
him backed by his dogs, searching
ths town in an earnest quest of
something or somebody.
"Seed dat feller bout here to-day
dat turns niggers into white folks?"
he painted as soon as he got in
range.
l had to confess that I could not
then recall having come across
such magician. Even the further
description of GER stray feller in
sto' close en- er paper collar" did
not serve to refresh my memory.
"Yistiddy," explained Uncle
cephas, "dat feller drive up at de

GUTHRIE, I. T., Sept. 16.-Last
night very few of the $4,000 BOOM
ers upon the border of the Chero-
kee Strip closed their eyes in sleep.
Long before daylight this morn
ing thousands of people had as
sembled about the Santa Fe depot
here, and train afte1 train was
speedily packed with people and
pulled out for Orlando upon the
line.
The rush for good places on the
trains was hard, and a number
were crushed and injured.
Arriving at Orlando, all were
compelled to leave the cars and
take their places with the $4,000
people who had spent the night
there upon the railway right of
way or who sat about the town.
About one thousand persons who
had not registered were speedily
accommodated, and then began .
scene of pushing and crowding
and elbowing never before seen.
Over $4,000 perso1s wanted to
90 on the first train, which had
capacity for less than 1000, and
LII were anxious to be at the best
place to get aboard.
At II 80 the first train pulled up

Aoyeu. r. IN. Crouch has written
a score of songs, several operas,
and many popular Irish ballads.
For years he played as first violon-
celist in the Drury Lane Theatre
Orchestra, London. But he de-
cided there were other ways more
lucrative, and 80 became engaged
in business in a large rolling-mill
for the manufacture of zinc. This,
however, failed, and he returned
to music-his one life-longing.
With the exception of Bishop, Mr..
Crouch has written more ballads
that any other writer in the world.
At one time he gave remarkable
promise as a vocalist, but ill-health
destroyed his pursuit of the art.
AS a composer he is known to the
world, as composer he is passing
away-now almost on the border
of another country.

Harry Hammond, speaking of
the Sea Island Negro, says" 1t is
said this people must be fed by
charity of government aid until
next April, and that even then
their lands, impregnated Iby salts
from the sea water may refuse to
produce a crop. 1t looks as if the
peasant proprietary of the Sea Is
lands had reached the end of their
career. No peasant proprietary
ever had fairer showing; in
genial climate to which they were
thoroughly adapted; with abund-
ant supplies of fish and fruit for
food; on fertile soil, their lands
almost a free gift to them; aided
by government largesses and mag
nifcent charities from other
sources; the building of new
railroad, the founding of a town,
and the development of the ex-
tensive phosphate works opening
fresh sources of remunerative en-
ployment for them protected from
any unfriendly outside influence;
for a third of a century, they have
been free to establish themselves
in permanency. The result? One
thousand perish ill a catastrophe
that destorys only three of their
white neighborsl What promisetis
there that any outside help can
enable them to build up their waste
places. They are a folk not lacking
i'll many of the amiable and gentle
virtues. If spread out among the
white population they will in the
future (as they did in the past)
assist in the industrial develop
ment Of the county. Mobile ethis

the mayor was shot in the foot.

five men were killed by this fire
and as many more wounded, some

The man who never made a mis-
take has not yet arrived on earth,
except in the conceit of some small
fellow who"prides himself"on petty
accuracies. The man who never
fails to dot an I and always sets
the dot directly obove the I, steady
ing his hand before touching the
paper with the round mark of ink,
is too proper and precise. He never
can achieve affairs demanding rug
ged, rushing, irving energy. He is

Every known form of water craft
both ancient and modern will form a
portion of the Worlds Columbian expo
sitton exhibit. Models by the score are
stored in the transportation depart
ment, while the lagoons and canals of
jackson park will fairly swarm with
the full-sized live exhibit. The most
interesting, perhaps, is the .reproduc-
ton of the battleship Illinois, while the
most curious are the walrus hide kvaks
OF the Aleutian islanders. Venice has
contributed of her gondolas, while the
South Sea islanders have sent rude
canoes made of single log and hol-
lowed out by burning with heated
stones. With the beautiful silver model
costing thousands of dollars and repre-
Senting the highest type of ocean
steamships, stands the reproduction of
a Chinese junk of the class that was a
terror to the merchant marine of the
world not so many years ago.
The United States naval exhibit is the
most complete ever sent by that de-
Partment to an exposition, and the
TACT that it is stored in the fac
smile OF the warship lends added inter
est. The Illinois is a reproduction of
