President Folks Nashville Home.

The old Polk place on Vine street, tho
home of President James X. Polk, and
the scene of many brilliant gatherings in
former days, is viewed with interest by
many visitors to Nashville. Many OK
pressions of regret are heard from those
who view the picturesque Polk place for
the first timo that tho historic old home
stead should have been allowed to fall
into such state of dilapidation. They
think the old place should be maintain
ed In good repair for the sake of the
memories that surround it. 1t has been
suggested moro than once that it would
make an ideal home for the official resi-
denoe OF Tennessee governors. The
excuse that can be very properly offered
by Nashvillians for the present condi-
ton Of the Polk place is that they have
nothing to do with it, the property being
in litigation. 1t is feared that ultimate

Curious Calaorian Customs Which May Be
Observed In New York.
In the Italian quarter found myself
the other day in home which had been
darkened by q double misfortune. A lit
tie Italian boy had fallen from fire es-
cape to the street and been instantly
killed. His widowed mother, when she
came upon the body of her son, went
mad with grief and attempted to take
her own life. Sho was taken to the hos
pital.
The boys body lay upon Il table, and
blazing candelnbrum stood at its head
At the side tho boys foster father and
his wife knelt in prayer. Seated about
the room was group of women chant-
ing All Italian death vail One of the
women raised her face, and her Quaver-
ing voice filed the room:
Happiness has departed from us for
over ~
And the others droned tho refrain:
"Forever'
"He will never be absent from our
thoughtsv'
"Neyer from our thoughts -
And SO on, strophe and antistrophe,
the chief waller leading and the chorus
echoing the dismal refrain 1t was n
sight and sound to move even the
tardy sensibilities of reporter
Such scenes are not uncommon in the
Italian quarter, though they seldom
come under the eye of visitors The pro-
fessional mourner is an institution in
some of tho provinces of southern Italy.
She-the Office belongs entirely to the
softer sex--is analogous to tho Irish
"keener," but with the difference that
her wall is more musical than weird,
whereas the "keener" is weird, pierre
ing-almost anything but musical
The Italian wailers-they are called
"prefche" in their native tongue-are
doubtless descendants of tho profession
al mourners of ancient Rome. They are
most common, and their office is most
clearly defined in the provinces of Abruz-
70 aud Calabria and in Sicily. There
they are regularly retained and reward
cd with fee In other provinces rel
ative Of the afflicted family may assume
the Office and lead the chorus, or the
function may be of a wholly miscellane-
GUS character, all the mourners joining
in song of woe.-New York Herald.

HE efforts Of disgruntled eitisens of
Philadelphia TO prevent the taking OF
Liberty Bell to Atlanta failed, as they
should have done, and the old bell
will make the Southern trip, TO be
looked ct and to revive patriotic nem-
cries In thts section. The North did
fts part in the revolution towards the
attainment of Independence, but no
more, all things considered, than WAS
done by the South, and now that the
civil war Is over and all lines of sec
tionalism abrogated, 1t is we'll that
mementos of the "times that tried mems
SOULS should be exhibited in order that
the spirit of nationality may be fos tered
and strengthened. Judge ThaYer, be-
fore whom the motion for an Injunction
restraining the city of PHILADELPHIA
from sending the bell to Atlanta was
tried, has dismissed the bill, and in the
opinion rendered, among other things
gave utserance to the following patriotic
sentiments: II am clearly OF the opinion
that there are no considerations OF law
or justice which forbid the sending OF
she bell TO Atlanta. and that. 80 far
from violating any principle OF law in
so doing or any public or private right,
the city authorities are in the perform
ance OF an act both lawful and laud able,
and which not only does not deserve
legal antmadversion. but is In itself
entirely proper and praiseworthy."

the effect that document has been for
wardad from Hawaii by the followers Of
the deposed queen asking the United
States to reinstate her as monarch of
the islands In order to avert inevita BILE

also, 1t Is said. formulated a proposition
to this government for presentation to
the next Congress asking that 1t be
taken under the protection OF the United
States. President Cleveland might be
induced to listen to proposal to restore
the queen, but 1t Is certain that all at

opposition. All the came, however. the

Death of Captain Cavalry.

John Mansfield Cavalry, one OF
the oldest commanders in the en-
ply of the Pacific Mail Company,
died at his home, 1915 Suffer street,
last Tuesday night, says the San
Francisco Call of October Doth.
He was one of the most successful
shippers that ever took vessel out
of San Francisco, and he stood
high with the management.
On November %, 1894, Captain
Cavarly's resignation was pre-
sented to the directors of the Pacific
Mail Company when they were in
session in New York. After COM
menting on his thirty-one years of
service the board said:

ly's example is one especially
of emulation, for the reason that
his success as commander was
due to his close attention to his
duty, his questioning obedience of
orders and his answering loyalty
to the interests of the Pacific Mail
Company.
