the erection of a church near her coun-
try home on the Hudson as a memorial
of her husband 1t is to be beautiful
in architecture and will be the most
costly church edifice ever erected in

it a point to carry GU every enterprise
that her husband was engaged in in
such a way as he would done had he

gifts to different charities, no changes

The statement that advices have
been received at Copenhagen, by way
of Greenland, that the two young
Swedish botsnists, Biorling and Kali
stenius, had started for Labrador in
a small open boat will revive interest
in thoso hardy explorers, thinks the
New York Press. Bjlorling and Kali
stenius, with five assistants, set out
two years ago ona voyage of discovery
in the Arctic regions. Their hazard
ous expedition awakened much atten-
ton at that time from the fact that tho
young men betrayed the expenses of
the journey out of their own limited
resources and were actuated purely by
enthusiasm for scientific research.
Nothing had been heard from them
for long time, although repeated Of
forts had been made to find traces Of
them, and it had begun to be feared
that they had suffered the fate of so
many others who have braved
the perils Of the polar zone. Many
besides relatives and friends will hope
that the brave Swedish explorers will

Tea GROWING in Dixie.

Tho New Orleans Picayune reports
that 1.-THE tea growing industry is like
ly to assume large proportions and to
be n valuable addition to the sources
of revenue in South Carolina. The
Summerville plantation. under the
charge of Mr.. Jackson, IN expert tea
grower from Asian, is going into the
business on commercial scale. Mr..
Jackson says he can raise tea in South
Carolina with negro labor cheaper
than it can be raisel in Assam with
coolie labor, as the negroes are much
more reliable. The Picayune has on
previous occasions called attention to
this crop rs one that could be raised
with profit on the Gulf coast. Any
doubter can have his doubts set at rest
by going to Ocean Springs and inspect
in the luxurious plants growing on the
place of Capt. June Poitevent."

There is dearth of good poetry in
these times, according to the poetical
editor of New York magazine. He
says that the demand for it has for
good while been greater than the sup
ply, and he believes that the pro.
ducers of it have been discouraged by
the newspapers. For years past
number of papers have often taken
occasion to sneer at great deal of
the poetry thrown on the market, and
the younger poets especially have felt
dishearteued under the sighting re-
marks of writer's who wero unable to
appreciate their verse. 1t is evident
that these poets are determined to
withhold their products from the pub
lic until such time as they can have
reasonable assupAnoe Of better treat
ment The older poets Are hardened
against abuse, but they cannot turn
out poetry every day.

"For twenty-five years McCabe had

Cooperstown, who made the bulk of
his great fortune i'll the Singer Sewing
Machine Company. Clark died in
Cooperstown not so very long after
cleveland became President in 1885,
and in his will he left $50, 600 in cash
to McCabe.
"Mc Cabe had been worker all his

was still willing and even anxious to

Ho suggested to Cleveland that it
wouldn't be q bad idea. in case tlie
President needed coachman, to give
McCabe trial, and then he kicked
over the stool and put his foot in the

cal fact that McCabe had recently re.
ceived legacy of $4,000 from tho
Edward Clark estate.
"Well, that cooked McCabe's goose,
for in his polite reply to Lawyer Bunn's
letter, Cleveland said that, while he
had no doubt of McCabe's fitness, ho

THE TENNESSEE ELECTIONS.
The Democrats Barely Hold Their Own ic ihe
West, While Fasioaists Develop Strength.

MEMPHIS, TENN.-Official returns
of the election for this county show
the Democratic ticket to have gone
through complete by majorities ranging
from 917 to 4,725. The average falls
about 1000 short of the majorities Sc
cured by tho Democrats in the presi
Dental election of 1892. In the other
counties of west Tennessee, nearly nll
of which have been heard from, the
Democrats have held their own barely.
In some counties the fugionists have
elected their county ticket while the
Democratic nominees for tho Supreme
bench have received large majoritics.
This is the case in OJsrien county,
where the Democratic Supreme Court
gets majority of 600. This indicates
that the Populists have sacrificed the
Republican Supreme Court nominees
in order to get in the PopuliGts' candi-
dates for local Offices. In Maury county,
middle porn, rcco including tho city
of Columbia, the Democrats have q
gain of 300, which offsets the loss in
Shelby.
