to Captain Hugh Garden of South Caro-

and when a reception day or an anniver-

be sure of meeting lot of representa-

achieving successes in metropolitan life.
A little later the veterans of the Con-
federate army residing in New York
met together as a charitable association.
This organization also quickly attracted
most of those who were proud to be
named in their company, and today you

the best known old southern men in New

has climbed the ladder to the very top
One of the most distinguished surgeons
and gynecologjsts in the country was
DR.. J. Marion Sims. Another who rose
to distinguished honor was the late Pro-

John Wyeth of Alabama is worldwide
authority in questions of surgery and
one of the most skillful of operators.
DR. William II. Polk is the son of Bishop

probably beyond the most ambitious
dreams of his boyhood days.
In the same distinguished category
may be mentioned the names of DR..
John T. Metcalf of Louisiana; DR.. J. Har-

and handsome man, but has lucrative
practice in the select circles of the me-

Die damage. Neville's Single shed
near the depot is minus a roof and a
hay shed belonging to C'Connor's was
demolished and blown into the street
Tcoly & Sullivan S front was blown in
or out, it would be hard to tell which,
as the whole inside was Uttered with
glass and the sidewalk was covered
with glass for half block. Tooley's
fine house plants which he had setting
in the window were destroyed. The
smoke stack Of Ottos mill at State
Line was blown down and the roof
blown off. Neville's yacht, Eaglet,
which lie had up in Eagle lake, lost
her smoke stack and was blown high
and dry on the beach and it was nee
essary to send for the TUG Eagle, to
haul her off. Trees lnnumerable were
blown down and the roads were near
ly impossible the next morning. A
number Of pleasure parties that were
out We're treated toa complete Grench-

Matthews was on Columbus lake with
tourist from below in a bark canoe
when the storm came up. They were
driven before the storm OH the beach
and suffered no damage except
drenching. Fred Morey, Phil Splain
and Geo Taggert had reached Croker's
woods on their way home from hunt
inc trip when the storm struck them
and they said for awhile it looked
pretty dubious as the trees We're fall
ing all around them but they finally
reached home alright.

PHARIsA1oA1. AND OTHERWISE.

It has become common to newspaper writers to indulge in periodical fits of condemnation of the sin of extravaganza. Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbilts small dance" set the tongues and pens wagging and comments have come in by the wholesale.
 It is peculiar fact that in such criti- eism the writers fail to remember that the only use of money is to put 1t in circulation, getting thereby some sort of return. Tt might be given to the poor" is an old cry, and one that lips thrice sacred rebuked most sternly. In cer- tain way, sums so expended are given to the poor. A distinction should be made between giving directly. and so encour- aging mendicant appeal, and encourage ing honest labor by buying its product.
 It is hard task sometimes to distin- guish between the two sentiments, jeal- ousy of another's good fortune, and true benevolenee that would relieve want with the cost of some luXuries.

THEY DEAL IN HALF TRUTHS.


 The journals of the bowling fraternity become almost frantic with joy every time a shipment of gold goes to Europe. They do not always print in these journals the telegrams that tell both sides of the story. They enlarge upon the fact that 'raid' has been made on the treasury, but the editor in the shears department carefully clips out or blue-pencils news of a gold deposit of some trihing mill lions.
 It is very probable that the profits accruing to the syndicate. from it's con tract with the government. are not in any proportion to the estimates made by the howlers. However rampant the latter may have waXed, they have not been able to touch the fact that gold shipment or no gold shipment, there is a general feeling of confidence in the ability of the government to redeem all it's pledges and protect all its rights. 4 general tide of prosperity has set in, the growth of which is steady and sure. Under the reign of the 50-cent dollar such would not be the case. It is time for a ceasing of the blatant utterances of few disgruntled papers. Gold is and has always been shipped from this continent, but so stable is the govern ment that the country does not even finch.

ABSOLUTELY PURE

yet the Boers disliked the invading pros- pectors and for a time kept them out by law. Afterward, a more liberal spirit prevailed, and the Boer government offered a reward for the finding of pay ing gold fields. But it was not until 1SS2 that the now celebrated gold-bearing reef in which the bulk of south African gold is found was discovered, and it was not until four years later that the open ing of the celebrated Sheba mine and its phenomenal yield gave rise to fever. Then prospectors poured in from Kim berly and the cape, coming in by push cart wagon, horseback or on foot. In year there were 10000 persons in the dis trict. The center of the excitement was the little town of Barberton, but this section was soon thrown into the shade by the discoveries of the Witwatersrand. But while the excitement lasted the De Kaap fields, as they were known, had their day, and six companies, with nominal capital of $155. 900, O00 were float ed, and many of the shares sold at a tre- mendous premium. Most of these mines are now abandoned, though the Sheba mine is still big producer

Mrs. Maybrick's Case.

Times.-That a large amount of Amer ican sympathy has been evolved for Mrs. Maybricl1's benefit. and that the press and parliament have been cleVerly worked to gain sympathy and new trial for the beautiful and unfortunate convict, goes without saying; but up to the present time the British government has refused to be moved by them. Nor can we hope much from the change of appeal. MT. O'Connor, Sir Charles Rus sell, Gail Hamilton and other sympa- thizers have, however. acquired new rights in the new government, and one right is to ask the home secretary to investigate and review that which the late liberal home secretary refused to do, and to ascertain if there are not prima facie reasons for granting Mrs. Maybricks friends an opportunity of showing where the verdict was against the evidence, and why she should not longer remain a victim to judicial blunder
 But they must not be too sanguine about a revision of that verdict. The court records bear evidence so strong against the prisoner that it will take something more than gushing sympathy and minimizing public clamor to set it aside. It will be happy day for Mrs. Maybrick if her friends succeed where the outlook is so unpr6mising.-Cinci nati Tribune.

Howard Pietzel Saw the Blades Which
 Were to D:smember His Body.
 Indianapolis, Ind, Sept. 2.-There were no new developments in the Holmes case today. Albert Shilling, expert instru- ment maker of this city, saw H. H. Holmes on October 3, 1894. Holmes call ed at his place of business on Virginia struments. The cases were of brown mo- rocco leather. One case contained two knives and q saw. The knives were 20 inches in length. one had a white handle and the other black. They were quite sharp pointed at the ends and the blades bore few dark spots. In shape they resembed ordinary carving knives The saw was of very fine make and 15 inches in length. The other. case was much smaller and contained, according to Mr. Shiffling's recollection, eight knives of various sizes and shapes. Holmes asked Shifting to sharpen all the knives, say ing that he would return for them the next day. With him on this occasion was the boy Howard Pietzel and a strange man with beard.
 Holmes did not call the next day as he had promised, but returned October 8, and secured the instruments. On the last visit Howard PietZel was again with Holmes. but the strange man was not. Holmes seemed to be in a hurry, paid for the work and left at once These knives were doubtless used to dismember young PietHel before his body was burn ed in the Irving house

A DOUBLE MENACE.

Cholera is menacing us from the East and from the West.
 The disease has obtained firm foothold in the Russian port, Vladivostock, and what appears to be well authenticated case has been reported from Lincoln shire, England.
 On the other hand, cholera threatens to become epidemic in Honolulu, which in these days of rapid transit is but stones throw from San Francisco.
 Of course. there is no necessity at pres ent for alarm, but the simultaneous ap- pearance of the scourge at two diametri cally opposite points on the horizon is food for thought. It means that the off, cials of the quarantine and health serv- ice must redouble their vigilance.
 All of us remember how successfully cholera was kept out of this country when it ragged at Hamburg and other German ports a few years ago. The effi- ciency of the public guardians of health was put to a severe test. Let us hope they will be as successful in the forth coming demands upon their skill and Watchfulness.

VIEWS OF SARCASTIC BRETON.

Air: "Yankee Doodle." Uncle Sam has got a boat They call her the Defender. And every time she gets af1oat They take her home and mend her. Sometimes it's her hollow gaff, And sometimes it's her rigging; She's tossed about as free as chaff Wheneer the sea goes digging. When explanation time comes around Their tongues are tipped with honey, It goes with some, but more are found Who think it funny. We've heard enough to fill a book About her speed-on paper But when she tries it off the Hook It's quite another caper. Of course, the nerves of British tars Are shaken by this thunder; They know that nothing wearing SparS Can beat the Bristol wonder Dunraven sends clumsy crock, With every kind of failing; She hasn't got spar or block Can stand "blow" in sailing. It surely was a great surprise To find that she got over. If Cranfield saw her with our eyes He'd stay at home in clover. But Britons are as thick as glue; They never know they are beaten Since hints on winning Waterloo Were given them at Eaton. Vaikyrie cannot stand the pinch; John Bull won't bet a penny Dunravcn hasn't got a cinch- See views of Arthur Glennie. But still there are some cranks who say When times are fairly reckohed And all is over down the bay, She'll be no worse than second:

What They Look For.

The effort of any newspaper to build up town is practically nullified unless it is backed up by the business men. A stranger turns from the news columns of a paper to it's advertising pages, and if he fails to find there the business cards of the merchants and the business men he comes to the conclusion that the pub fisher is not appreciated, in which case it is good place for him to keep clear of. No town ever grew without the active assistance of it's newspaper. Nor can papers grow and build up their localities without the assistance of the town. Busi- ness men should realize this and remem- Der that in giving support to the news paper they are not only building up their own business, but are helping to support that which is steadily working for the whole community.-Brewton Gauge.

besides his followers, MT. Cleveland is honesty itself," and that his actions are bold and straightforward, and every act of his shows beyond all question that he is squarely in favor of the single gold standard" It is true that MT Cleve- land is honesty itself besides some of his followers, and he is undoubtedly bold and straightforward. It would be we'll for the democratic party if all who claim to be democrats were as bold and straightforward as he is; but they are not. They hedge. and dodge, and deny, and explain, and split hairs, and make marks in the sand, and straddle, and squirm." The Constitution belongs to this unworthy class. It has not drawn an honest political breath since Hoke Smith was placed in the cabinet, and has been lodging and squirming and straddling ever since MT. Harrison de- clined to give Buck a seat at his council chamber It would be one of the first to wrigge and squeal if it's advice should be followed that the honest money or gold standard democrats leave the dem ocratic party and go with the republi- cans If the free silver folly should pre- vail in the next national democratic con- Vention, there will be thousands of them all oyer the country who will do pre- csely this thing or set up an honest money democratic party on their own account. A good many democrats have become disgusted with the populist doc trines that are being preached from dem= oeratic pulpits. Georgia Is full of this kind of democrats, and so is Alabama, and Tennessee, and Virginia, and other southern states.-Exchange
