Miss Nelly Carter enllvening her
neighbor, ,"Corotoman of Virginia."
with her usual bright sallies and
clever conversation. What shall
say of Corotoman? He is true
representative of the southern gen.
tleman, and has good right to the
title. His mellow, highbred voice
woul betray him if nothing else
did, but his ever ready hospitality,
his strong grasp of friendship and
his cordial Welcome to everyone
shows him the true Virginian.
Perhaps to the world at large he is
better known as Williams Carter,
but some few who love him have
dubbed him Corotoman. Mrs.
Lloyd Howard, who adds very much
to any entertainment, sat on Coro-
toman's left, and was bright and
gay as she ever is, and Mr.. Taylor
Perry, who came next, found her a
most charming neighbor. Mrs.
Perry was not with US, which caused
us much regret. Miss Lauretta
Booth was on his right and divided
her attentions between him and Mr..
Maynard, the father of Mrs. How
ard. He is a rare type of strong
man well preserved, and is fond Of
all outdoor pursuits, and is one of
the oldest denizens of Oakland,
having been here some thirty years.
He has a refined old courtier-like
manner, and brings to my mind a
dear old ballad of my youth called
"The Old English Gentleman.''
After the supper was over the
party adjourned to the parlors of
the Bosley Arms, and the rest of
the evening was spent in pleasant
conversation interspersed with a
few light games, and one of those
who was present said, ':the season
was just beginning at Bosley's.
DR.. j. Lee McComas> that Won
derful doctor whom all love and
who has made Oakland famous by
his skill, was unable to be present,
and there was a general murmur Of
regret for him as we sat down to
the groaning, creaking board.
Mr.. Bosley is certainly a gener-
Gus host and puts himself out in
every way as does his kind and
thoughtful wife for those who pass
their summers with them. Three
cheers for Mr.. Bosley and his fam
lily!

MR.. MUNSON'S CLAIMS.
Says He Was Not Directly Connected
with the Attempted Bribery.

Edward A Munson, who is being sued
by the creditors of Rachael Newgarden
for $3.50, which was placed in his hands
for the purpose, it is alleged, of influence
ing the adjustment of the fire loss in the
Newgarden store last July, says he re-
ceived the money from Mr.. Boyd, the APP
praiser who valued the stock, and that
he held it simply as trustee He also says
he offered to pay it back to Jacob Wiener,
the agent of Mrs. Newgarden, from who
it originally came, but would not do so
unless Weiner signed a receipt for the
amount, which receipt should plainly state
that the money had been paid by Weiner
to influence the settlement of the loss.
This, he says, Weiner declined to do. and
consequently he would not return the
money Mr.. Munson asserts that he had
nothing to do with any deal by which
any person or persons were to attempt
to defraud the insurance companies. lie
says the money in controversy was paid
by Weiner to Boyd, the appraiser, and that
he had no interest in it more than to re-
ceive it and take care of it at Boyd's re-
quest. He would not tell TO whom he had
given the money, except that he gave 1t
to two men from Ohio.

over three hundred men not employed, and
l found the guards taking the prisoners
was driven to f;reat straits to find work for
the prisoners, and the prison discipline was
becoming seriously impaired by the evil OF
idieness. At tfat time there were number
of citizens who were talking of taking a
cooperage contract from the distillerieS at
Terre Haute, and negotiations went SO far
that the citizens agreed to employ $50 pris-
oners. thinking they had a contract with
the Whisky Trust people. The buildings.
according TO my suggestion, were then be-
gun, but before they were finished the citi-
Zens found that the trust was not able to
break away from an existing contract and
that therefore it could not enter into a con-
tract with them This caused them to re-
fuse. to sign papers with the prison board,
and hence the half completed buildings were
thrown upon the boards hands without an
occupant. Some good, OF course, had re-
suited in giving the convicts work upon the
building, but it was mistake not to bind
the company proposing 70 use the contract
labor in writing.
Things went on in this way until August,
when the bicycle contract was perfected,
and after the former mistake the contract
ors were bound In legal form. This is the
while see objections to contract labor, the
law provides for it, and it was the boards
duty to obey the law. The former con-
tractors, after the general depression set
in, found themselves unable to dispose of
all the goods that the force of prisoners un-
the contracts expired they refused to re-
new them. This was one thing that caused
the unusual amount of idleness among the
prisoners
In illustration of the effects the depres-
sion had upon the contractors of prison la
Dor, Governor Matthews said that the COM
pany manufacturing woodenware and
brushes in the Southern Prison found it's
goods stacking up and no market for them.
The company tried every possible means to
secure release from the contract with the
State. but it was held to It, and being I'M
able to sell goods its debt on account OF
wages at time amounted to $4,000. The
trustees were in great trouble about the
money, and finally induced the company to
give them lien upon the goods as security.
In this way the depression was tided over.
so that on Jan. / the company only owed
the State s., 600. This is a matter that did
not become public until now. Except for the
security given for the payment Of the wages
due the State there would have been a
heavy loss.

A WONDERFUL WOMAN.
MIA dame Gaxa Gives u Private Exhibi-
ton of Her Power.

Madame GAIA, who was ore of the at
fractions at the Empire last week, gave a
private exhibition of her power last night
Mt English's Hotel. Her real name is
Price. and she halls from Georgia, where
1T is claimed SIC was State wonder for
several years before she began her career
on the stage. Her exhibitions are truly
wonderful. and while some people give
what seem to be plausible explanations of
some of her feats, there are none who do
not admit themselves baked when they are
asked to explain one feat, which seems
TO admit of no natural explanation except
the one given by her-magnetism. Her
first and most wonderful feat is done with
piece of wood such as is used for garden
hoe handles. Three men grasp the stick
firmly, holding 1t in perpendicular posi-
tion, while she places the palm of one hand,
with the fingers extended, against the SIDE
near the lower lend, without taking any
ing over five hundred pounds, We're unable
to release the. stick from the palm of her

twice the number as easily as three, and
her subsequent exhibition seemed to prove
Next man weighing $50 pounds, while
standing, placed the seat of an ordinary
hold on the rungs. In this position, with
the four legs of the chair extending in
front OF him, he was to resist the pressure
of Madame Gaza's thumbs. placed against
the bottoms of the extended legs Closing
the fingers of her hands, she placed her
thumbs on the chair legs, and in a few
moments gave the signal that all was
ready, and the man was seen to be strain
ing every muscle to hold his position, while
the form and face of Madame GAIA showed
no sign Of a strain or struggle. For a mo-
ment only the man held his position. then
Assistance was called for. and two more
men, one on each side. took hold of the
chair, but their combined strength was
overcome by the little woman with appar-
emily as much ease as the one had been.
These and other exhibitions were given,
one of which was to lift three men seated
in a chair by simply placing the palms of
the hands against the sides of the chair
legs, taking no grip whatever. In the au-
dienece last night were several physicians.
who were as much mystlfied as the other
spectators. They. went there prepared to
themselves as mystihed after seeing the
performance.
