HONORARY LAWYER.

self and Colleagues Proud.
ATLANTA, Ga, Aug. 1.-One year ago
Justice Bleckley OF Georgia, aged 70,
married Mics Herrin, the 24.year.old
daughter OF New York millionaire.
Within the approved time child was
born to the couple. The Georgia Bar as
sociation met last night with Chief
Justice Bleckley presiding. To the
association he told his domestic story
thus:
1.-THE year of my presidency has been
distinguished and rendered memorable
by the birth OF a son whom have dedi.
Gated to the law. Thus mindful OF tbs
advice Of Lord Bacon, have done some
thing for ths profession. l may be par
doned for contrasting nv better fortune
with that of my illustrious rival. Presi-
dent Cleveland, whose official offspring
is not of his own professional gender,
Considering our relative ages, it seems
noteworthy that the president of the
Georgia Bar association has accom-
plished more in one term than the
president of the United States has &C.
complished in two. Desiring, however,
not to be ungenerous in my triumph. I
frankly say that my paternal admins
tration has not been agitated or dis
turbed by the tariff or silver or the
senate, but my unsteady footing on the
platform, or the unsteady footing there
on of other people, etc., and will add
with full sincerity that, under all the
circumstances. Mr.. Cleveland has done
remarkably we'll and ought to have an
other trial"
The infant was thereupon elected an
honorary member of the association.

SAN Francisco, Aug. 1.-The entire
force of the United States mint in this
city is now engaged in making silver
dollars, the coinage of the seigniorage
being now in operation, in accordance
with instructions from the United
States treasury department. The out
put is about $50, 900 day, but this may
be increased.
The stock of silver ON hand in the
mint is sufficient to keep the dies busy
for some time, if the authorities deem it
advisable to continue the coinage of the
white metal. The vaults at this date
contain $4,000, coo ounces of silver bull
lion. Besides there is on hand the sum
oil $37, 123 900 in silver coin.
The officers of the local mint do not
know how long the coinage OF silver ia to
continue, as no definite instructions have
been received. The present operations
aro being carried on by authority of a
telegraphic order to make silver dollars
until further advised.
The seigniorage has been accommodating

mint clerk gives the information that
those VINO wish to calculate for them
selves the amount of the seigniorage on
silver dollars may do so by deducting

Now everybody knows that there must

Mr.. Huntington never moved into his
house is 90 small that to most people it
will seem ridiculous. The great mil.
lionaire, the fearless speculstor, refused
to>move into his new house because he
feared that if he moved in he would die.
1t was an old superstition that old men
who grow rich build fine houses for their
own funerals.
When Mr.. Huntington started his
plans back in 1889 he no doubt thought
Of this superstition, but let it have little
weight with him. Heexpected to move
in three years ago, but it was only last
year that the house began to get near
completion. In the meantime his
health had become less and less vigor-
Gus. His advanced age and his years of
hard work and worry began to tell upon
him. The superstition came back with
renewed force. and he began to think a
great deal about it. At last he became
absolutely convinced that if he should
move in the first funeral to which his
friends would come would be his. He
then decided that he would not even
keep the house in the family; that he
would sell it and remove every possibility
of his having to occupy it. And no will

VISIONARY VESSEL.
Stranded Bark. Thrice Reported, Proves

Stranded Bark, Thrice Reported, Proves
to Be Rock.
SAN Francisco, Aug. 1.-The mystery
of the strange bark that three ship cap
tains have reported as stranded on a
reef Is miles west of the Straits OF LIE
Marie, with all her masts and rigging
standing, eeems to be as far from aoiu-
tion az when as it was first reported by
the captain of the Olympic.
A few days ago q vessel reached Lon
don and reported having passed another
within q short distance Of the deserted
bark, and interest was renewed in the
thrico-reported stranded vessel. All
agreed in saying that she was an iron
ship and most likely of German con-
struction. She WAS bark-riRged and had
black painted portfolios. Shipping and
insurance men have been trying to de-
.termine the name of the wrecked bark,
but without success. No vessel of her
description should be anywhere in the
vicinity OF the Horn, and none is over
due at any port that would pass within
thousands of miles of the spot. 1t is
not likely that she would be taken for

half years ago. She was full-rigged
ship, and when she struck, most of her
masts went by the board. A few days
afterwards the sea was strewn with
wreckage and nothing was again seen OF
the wreck.
Atew days ago the British ship Cedric
the Saxon arrived in port from Swansea,
and she passed close to the spot where
the mysterious bark has been seen.
Captain Rees tells story which further
complicates matters. He says the 30
called bark is nothing but rock, al
though it's resem blance to q ship is 80

log to the effect that bark was stranded
with all the rigging intact. He says
that he was about 15 miles distant hen
he first saw it, and was sure that it was

that it was huge rock sticking up out
of the water. 1t was only about half Q
mile away, but even then its resem
blsnce to O bark with painted ports was

the advice OF the commander OF the Chi
nese cruiser to slip her anchor and run.
The Japanese cruiser Naniwa Kan
steamed up near the Kow Shung and
sent party 10 her with instructions to
make strict scrutiny of the chips pa.
pere. After this had been done there
was some hesitation on the part of the
Japanese commander as to the action to
be taken under the circumstances.
Finally he peremptorily ordered the
Kow Shung's captain to follow with his
vessel. Great excitement at once
arose among the Chinese troops
on board the transport, and they
told the English officers of the ship they
would not surrender They said: "We
refuse to become prisoners. We would
sooner die here. If you move the ship,
except to return to China, we will kill
you." They then posted guard at the
anchor chains and allowed no one else
to 90 near them.

crowd was, however, unusually good

ance
The general opinion in Newberry is
that the Conservatives will carry the
county by safe majority. Even the
Reformers are beginning to realize that
their chances are dwiudling away in
Newberry county. 1t is a we'll known
fact that the Conservatives had the
county safe in 1892 until the big row
occurred at the campaign meeting.
Gov. Tillman talked more about the
alliance demands than he has at any time
yet since the campaign opened. He, of
course, deprecated the fight that the
alliance seems determined to wage
against all candidates, who do not sup
port every one Of the planks in the
Ocala platform. He predicted that the
alliance would but its brains out if
i. fought for the sub-treasury before it
got an increase Of the currency Gov
Tillman plainly fears the alliance,
notwithstanding his big talk to the con-
trary sometime ago. He is willing to
run over the alliance, but he don't want
fight with it.
Gen. Butler made speech that took
we'll with the crowd. He referred to
several incidents of his war record, and
the old soldiers cheered him to the
echo.
The other speeches we're not new,

An agricultural writer has estimated
that the farmers of the United States
waste every year by wear and tear OF
horse. flesh and the loss of time con-
sequent upon the use of the ordinary
narrow wagon tire, the enormous sum
of $500. 100000 By an experiment
recently made at the Ohio State Uni
versi,y, it was found that double
team could draw upon an ordinary
wagon fitted with three-inch tires just
twice as heavy load as upon wagon
with the usual narrow tires, the trial
having taken place upon an ordinary
earth road
/, has been found also that the wide
tire helps to keep earth roads in order
By rolling them fat aud smooth
instead of cutting them into
ruts This is so we'll understood in the
old countries that some European
governments lay tax on the narrow
tires, aud the money thus accumulated
is spent in keeping the roads in order.
