another Interesting article. It Is from ST.
Mary's county and was used in the first
church built In that county as d brace from
which the bell was suspended. The bricks
from which the church was built were
brought over as ballast upon the return of
the vessel which took the first cargo of
tobacco from St. Mary's county to Eng.
land. This was about 1864, and the old
bell hung suspended from this piece ofiron
until 1889. The parish hal grown SO large
in the 235 years that the tintinabulations
of the old bell could not be heard by all OF
the members and it was replaced by
modern and stronger one.
An old hominy ladIe, worn almost in two
in several places with frequent stirring OF
the cracked corn while boiling, is also
highly priced. On the handle is just dis

stories of each article which have been

Interesting Relics.

Mrs E. J. Dillow, widow of William,
Dillow, 327 South woodyear street, is the
posseSsnr of collection of perhaps The
Oldest relics in the city. Mrs Dillow is an
aged lady and prizes the collection very
highly. The most interesting article in
the collection Is bunch Of fax thread,
well preserved, the strands being almost as
strong as when they were first spun. This
thread Is over 100 years old. The fax was
gathered by Ms. .Dillow's mother, Mary
Ann Young, in 1913. II was hacked,
spun and part Of il woven into linen. few
pieces of which are still in the family. II
was from a part Of this same lot of fax

The Close OF q Useful Life,

The death of George w. Childs,
the well-known Journalist, removes
one of the most remarkable men Of
the closing generation. From the
common walks Of life, unaided, he
rose to q position of eminence and
afflqence. His demise was the ter
mihation Of an exceptional success
full and exemplary career. Mr..
Childs was widely known as a prac-
teal philanthropist; his life was
marked by q succession of good
deeds. The greater portion of the
vast fortune which he amassed,
was used for benevolent purposes.
lie was the friend of genius, the
patron of letters, and the benefactor
of the poor. Among the many
noteworthy acts Of his life was the
establishment, in 1886, with A. J.
Drexel, his lifelong friend and part
ner. of the Childs- prexel Home for
aged and indrm printers at Color
ado Springs. In private life, Mr..
Cbilds was greatly beloved by all

nreetasas Thrust Upen Him.

silva, the mysterious unknown,
whose writings during Cleveland's
former administration attracted
such attention, has again taken up
tho pen and picked up Growers
trail. Following is an extract from
a recent letter published in the Chi
cago Inter Ocean:
1T is beyond question that your
career has been one of the most
wonderful that human history re-
cords. History has no parallel for
such transformative success as your
life has witnessed. To the believer
in duty, patriotism, a virtuous life,
and noble aspiration as essential
elements of the highest political
success in republic, the story OF
your life comes as q stunning and
bewildering refutation of all his
preconceptions.
THAT a man who until he had
reached the meridian of life had
been wholly undistinguished among
his fellows, either for attainment
or achievement; who had shown
no marked aptitude or inclination
except for reckless self indulgence !;
who was accounted exceptional in
nothing; who was not known to
have expressed an opinion on any
great question or been suspected of
sympathy with any popular idea !;
whom no sane man would have
dreamed Of commencing as an ex-
ample to his son-that such man
should be twice lifted by the votes
Of his countrymen to the highest
place within the gift of a free peo-
pie is enough to almost shake the
faith of the stoutest believer in the
theory of self government or an
over ruling Providence.
"Others have risen to as dizzy
heights and few from almost as low
a starting point. Napoleon leaped
almost at a bound from captain of
artillery to emperor Of the French /;
Caesar was to-day dissolute insol-
vent, and tomorrow the dictator
of Rome; Lincoln rose from rail
splitter" to be president Of the re-
public. But Napoleon had already
shown himself the most accom-
plished soldier of his time, and gave
sure promise of being the greatest
military genius of the world.
Caesar bad won more battles and
conquered more people than any
man since Alexander's day. Lin
coin had proved himself more than
a match for the stoutest ofhis party
opponents on the stump, and was
a leader of unquestioned promi-
nence in the great popular outburst
for liberty. Grant rose to fame
only on a ladder which his own
genius made, every round of which
was hard won victory. You alone
have come to the pinnacle of re-
nown having done nothing, the
champion of no worthy cause, with.
out knowledge OF, preparation for,
or participation In any great civil
or military conflict. !"

immigration statistics for the
port of New York for last year make
document of considerable interest.
There were $4,000 arrivals, and
neither the German nor the Irish
were the most numerous; Italy now
takes the place of these northern
nations as the largest contributors
to our foreign population. There
were $4,000 Italian arrivals last
year, while the Germans numbered
only 5000, the Russians $1,000,
the Irish 10000. the Swedes 10000,
the Austrians $4,000 and the Hun
garians $4,000. Times have indeed
changed when there are more Rus
slams than lrishmen coming to the
United States and more Italians
than Germans, while the English
immigration is almost too small TO
be noticed.

Evans Courts Death.

There is no dearth of news from
Evans and Morrell, and late dis
patches to the San Francisco Chron.
icle show that they have grown reck-
less. 1t was thought ut first that the
banit and his companion would
leave the country, but il appears
now they have no idea OF doing so.
They were seen about the LIST Of this
month at the little town of Dunlap,
in Squaw Valley, where they visited
a school house and spent several
hours romping and playing with
the school children. Evans was per-
sonally known to the teacher, who
gave the children sort of a holiday
in order that they might enjoy the
occasion.
They remained several days at
and near Dunlap. leisurely strolling
around. After their sojourn in that
locality, they babe the people good
bye and took a road towards the
plains, apparently Indifferent as to
whether they were followed or not.
The citizens of Dunlap warned
Evans not to be 80 reckIe s, that
unless he used some caution, he
would certainly be killed. He re-
piled that he would be killed, be
knew, when his time came, but not
a day sooner. Morrell, who is not
yet educated up to Evans doctrine
of fatalisn, suggested more caution
in their movements.
A posse has left Fresno in charge
of Sheriff Scott for Squaw Valley.
If Evans can be judged by his past
tactics, be will not be heard of for
some time, for there is method in
his recklessness. When he gets
ready to leave one place, he let's
himself be seen and then, like the
Arab, folds his tent aud silently
steals away.
The latest report is that Evans
and Morrel had an encounter Sun
day with two deputy sheriffs three
or four days after leaving Squaw
valley. The outlaws were hiding in
the brush, and fred upon the OIL
GERS as they drove down the road
in a cart. The shots frightened the
horse and caused him to run away.
One Of the deputies jumped out Of
the cart and returned the fire, while
the other had to FIRE at random as
he held on to the frightened horse,
who plunged down the road at a
terrible rate. The bandit and his
man Friday succeeded in holding
the fort, and the officers gave up
the fight, and telegraphed for as
sistance. Sheriff Scott Immediately
started out with large posse in hot
pursuit. With the usual reckless
ness and bold defiance, Evans and
Morrell returned to Squaw Valley
after the battle with the officers, in
stead of seeking hiding place.
Evans was highly slated over max
ing the officers beat hasty retreat.
