A PRAYER ANSWERED.
Remarkable Case Of Emma Evans Of
Perry's Mill. Ga.

Remarkable Case of Emma Evans Of
Perry's Mill. Ga.
Eighteen month ago Miss Emma
Evans was thrown from a carriage
while driving near Perry's Mill in
Tattnall county, Ga. Two of her ribs
were broken and her spine was so bad
ly injured hal the doctors pronounced
her case incurable. From then until
quite recently she had never walked a
step, and at times suffered great pain
and frightful nervou attacks. Some
months ago she was brought to Sa-
vannah by her brother-in-law in the
hope that the physicians might be able
to do her some good. Several experts
were called in, but they decided that
medical science could do nothing. ex-
cept to alleviate her suffering. and that
she would never be able to use her
lower limbs.
The other day, Miss Evans, who has
all her life been devout, was silently
praying that her health might be re-
stored, when a strange sensation came
over her, coupled with the idea that
her prayer had been granted. So
strong was her faith that she essayed
to rise, and finding herself able to do
SO, walked about the room to the
~amazement of her relatives. The case
is one of the most remarkable on
record, and has caused a great deal of
interest.

ticket, pastor of the Linden Street
Christian church, the congregation Of
which includes many Of the most
prominent society people of the city,

recently on this evil, and has remon-
strated with his flock in private.
Finding that his e~xhortations did not
produce the desired result, DR.. Brooks

Profitable-An Experts opinion.
WASHINGTON, July 2.-In an extend
ed report on the subject of the 'ccur-
and production of tin through
out the world, C. M. Rolker, a special
agent of the geological survey, dis
cusses the tin situation in the United
States, saying: mo tin is being pro-
duced in the United States and the
tin occurrences of this country are SO
far only of geological or m~ineralogi-
cal interest, with indications of pros
pective values in a few instances. Tin
occurs at Winslow, Me-, in the form
of cassiterite. 1t was noticed as
early as 1869 and was worked to a
depth of loo feet before being aban-
doned. Similar ore occurs in New
Hampshire. A few crystals have been
found in Massachusetts and Connect
cut. The Martha Cash tin mines, stu
ated on the western slope of the Blue
Ridge in Virginia, are promising ia
appearance and have been we'll opened
up, but the property is in litigation
and will not produce until these diff
culties are settled. Tin was discov-
cred in 1886 near Kings Mountain,
North Carolina. It occurs in the de-
composed greison and pyrite in states,
and offers as legitimate a field for tin
prospecting as do the Black Hills in
Dakota. In Alabama the tin occurs
in grains through disseminated
gneiss Lodges. Mines have been
worked in Clay county, but have not
paid TO far. A few crystals of CASTER
lite have been found in Texas, but the
country is practically unexplored. A
tin discovery is reported from Colorado,
but little is thought of it. Float or
stream tin has been found in small
quantities in Idaho and Montana.
Efforts at mining tin have been made
in Wyoming, but have resulted un-
~tavorably. The value of the Harvey's
Peak and other Black Hills mines in
South Dakota has not yet been demon
strated. They have not been accurate
~ tested as yet, and their management
has met with many checks. They are
now in the hands of a receiver. A
little tin has been found in Northern
California: but the mines in San Ber-
nardino county in the South are the
only ones of value. Prior to 1892,
POI, 1874 pounds Of metallic tin were ex-
tracted from these. No work is now
being done.'

A Parrot at a Club and How 1t Remem

A Parrot at q Club and How 1t Remem
bered.
In a frst-class club room uptown in
New York on a stormy afternoon sat
two members of the club playing cards.
The table they were playing on was
beside a window looking into the
yard. Overhead at the window where
the men were playing was a favorite
parrot. One of the club members was
very unfortunate at his game, and his
partner chaffed him by saying, 'Luck
is against you to day." which so ag-
gravated the looser that the glass Of
water which was in front of him Ito
put in his whiskey) he took up and
tired through the cage, wetting the
parrot all over (Which quieted him)
saying, at the same time, There, d-n
you, take that. You are talking too
much"
The parrot then kept loo king out of
the window at the heavy rain-storm
and espied a chicken coming across
the yard, and when under the shelter
OF the window shook her wings. The
parrot, looking down, said to the
chicken: cha! ha! d-n you, you have
been talking too much"
A dealer in pet birds was visited by
a customer who suffered and wanted
to buy a parrot which took his fancy.
The salesman was an Irishman who
had just been employed by the dealer.
The customer said: 'Du-du-does
that-that parrot ta-ta-talk good?"
"Well," replied the Irish salesman,
if he did not talk better than you
would wiring his neck Off"

them die had taken the poison herself.
She is the widow of Benson Bennett,
who defaulted as treasurer of Clark
lodge, Brotherhood of Locomotive
Firemen, and who committed suicide
some time ago. Mrs. Bennett had left
a note sticking under the door, direct
ing that her sister, Mrs. Cana, and the
coroner be notified. The note vas
dated Friday last.
