then sank down on the damp grass
with groan.
The morning papers, under the head
ing of shocking Affair at Padding
/ ton," contained the following para
graph:
1.-The evening express from Bristol on
entering this station late last night ran
into an empty cattle van which by
some unaccountable means had beer
left on the main line. There was only
d slight collision, but an elder first
class passenger received such severe
shock to the system that he expired
before he could be removed to the
waiting room, where his body now
lies
The evening papers furnished addi-
tional details. They said:
1.-The victim of the deplorable acci-
dent reported this morning was Mr..
Vincent Hope of the Firs, Hopetown,
Willis, who was on his way to the con-
tinent with his nephew. AT the in
quest held this afternoon a verdict of
death from apopleXy was returned
The body will be conveyed forthwith
to Hopetown for interment.
Two days later Miss Birch was en-
tranced and mystified by receiving the
following telegram.
'fCruel misunderstanding. Your let
ter just received. Uncle died suddenly
in London. Will be with you shortly"
''Why didn't you write in time,
sweetheart" said Cyril, in mild re-
proof to the blushing Milicent as, i'm
prisoned in his arm, he kissed her
again and again.

in good time; and, although / have re-
peatedly questioned her since the re-
ceipt of your telegram, she persists in
maintaining that she posted it then
safely. Oh, there she is, carrying the
pitcher"
Cyril swiftly strobe toward the little
maid, with whom he entered in CONVEX
satiOn, during which some money
passed into the child's possession;
after which he abruptly left the little
one, whose puzzled look presented a
curious contrast to the amused express
sion on his face.
''DO you know to what you are in
debted, dearest, for this contretemps
which has sealed our happiness with
Birch
"Fatew she answered, confidently,
with a look of love.
''Ahem! perhaps; but it selected a
very unique instrument, it seems"

(, WaIkure, Rienzi, are operas repre-

The visitors to the Paris exposition
are treated in a certain series of plates
with the colors, notices and arms of
each nation adjoining the rim. Typi-
cal men and women of each country,
CARRIED in their distinctive dress, are
grouped in the center, and the princi-
pal staples and exports of that coun-
try, in bags, bales and barrels are
massed underneath. History. geogra-
ply, and ethnology may be studied in
this china.
Bachelors buy these drinking pic
ture plates to decorate their dens for
use when they have an informal
spread in their rooms, and men who
are not bachelors buy them also" said
a china dealer, holding to view one of
bacchanalian set with a spirited
scene in a beer garden painted on it.
These bull batting plates are having
a great run, too, tae pictures are so
ifelike and the coloring so admirable, -
and he drew attention to the arms and
crown of Spain, the bulls head and
the national flag in brilliant colors on
the broad rim of the plates.
Every phase of the far famed sport,
from the grand entrance of the troop
to the hour when the goaded and, tor
mented beast is at last unconscious Of
his tormentors, is depicted faithfully
in the twelve pictures of the series.
Sets also come showing chaiteaus OF
France, manor houses of England and
palaces and public ediices of Paris,
London and other cities. In the
Breton ware every curve, lip and han
die has an originality all it's own.
The urns, vases and center pieces used
for dining room and table decoration
are studies of ancient art. Old blue
and terra Gotta are the principal colors
used in this ware, and the ground is a
pale cream, without the fresh tint of
the Terre de Fer. Tiny branches of
flowers appear on some of the articles,
and one and all are stamped with the
odd looking shield and colors of Brit
tany.
An old pottery that belonged to Po-
land IN the days when that ancient
monarchy owned a part of France has
recently been unearthed, and this new
Bretagne ware, for which there lis such
a craze, is modelled on the antique
specimens found therein. On the large
meat platters and broad plates scenes
from the old feudal days are engraved
knights armed cap-a-pie, bearing
flags and pennons of enormous size,
mounted on fiery chargers, prance
across the entire surface. A castle and
moat, with draw-bridge raised, occu-
pies the center of another dish, and
a tournament on yet another. History,
literature, poetry and art have all been
levied on for these china decorations.

FOOLISH BEE

'tHow doth the little busy bee
Improve each shining hour,
And gather honey all the day
From every opening flower"
And when the seasons work is done,
The frugal farmer man
Grabs all the honey gathered in
And dumps it in his can.
And hence it seems TO one who views
How things do come to pass,
That, in a modern business light,
The busy bees an ass.

The books of lola and his creed,

Will such day the years unwind,

men generally affords. There is an open
ness OF countenance and a manfiness of
carriage on the part of the majority,
which seem to Indicate the possession OF
some degree of moral courage. This sem
sation is not an unpleasant one. Though
the pilgrims come from far and near, the
foreigner is not so impressed by their
differences of dress and features as by
their similarity. Some familiarity with
the language and ready ear will detect
many dialects, some of which are only
current a thousand miles distant.
Men in the strength of life, and APP
parently in moderate circumstances, either
farmers or craftsmen, constitute the great
majority. But the number of old men,
some of whom hobble along on crutches.
are numerous enough to sprinkle
the crowd with gray. Youth and chill
dren are there, too. and a good proper
ton of women, despite their small bound
feet But many of the women are as
sisted by one or two men. Nearly all
are afoot and it is considered that there
is greater virtue in making the ascent
by use Of ones own strength; yet here
and there are to be seen chair bearers
taking up the rich or the sick on their
backs. The beggars, in the shape Of the
blind the lame, the aged, the young and
the perfectly able-bOdled, which line the
way from end to end, are not a most
important feature, but their unpleasant
appearances and often disgusting appeals,
mar an otherwise happy experience, and
leave a permanent impression on the
mind.
1t is difficult to learn just what these
pilgrims hope to gain by their toilsome
journeys. Such responses to questioning
as they themselves give only Indicate
a vague understanding of what they are
doing. The idea of buying up merit by
personal sacrifice seems to be the spring
which moves to bring them here. There
is reckoned to be an intrinsic virtue in
the coming of itself; but beside this,
those who during the year have performed
acts of merit, desire to report to the
gods, in person, or by proxy, what they
have done, that it may surely be put to
their credit in the Great Reckoning.

Buggy Factory and New Brick
BIock-The New Train.


Waycross, Ga, March 24-The buggy
factory movement is progressing. al
though nothing definite has been decided
upon by those interested. It is likely that
an understanding will be reached when
a representative of Cincinnati capitalists
comes here this week to consult with the
Waycross parties. The Cincinnati man
will reach here on March %, and meet
ing Of those interested in the factory will
be held. 1t is almost certain that the fac
tory will be built.
1t was rumored to-day that a large
brick block will be erected here at once.
In a few days the matter will be decided
upon, and the impression is that the build
ing will be erected.
A travelling evangelist, who is conduct
ing a series of talks here on the subject
of religion, is drawing crowds to hear
him every night. The wife of the evan
gelist breaches also.
Waycross is greatly benefited by the
absence of bar rooms, and the strict pro-
hibition law which prevents the sale of
any intoxicant in the city. The effect of
prohibition upon the business, educational
and other interests of the place is all
that could be desired by those who repre-
sent the best interests of Waycross
Crime is decreasing. education is advanc-
ing and morality is encouraged.
1t is learned that the Southern hotel
will be under new control after April /.
and that Leopold Weiss will be the new
manager. Mr.. Weiss was the manager
Of the hotel during its first year. c. II.
Remington, the present manager Of the
Southern, has not made known his plans
for the future.
The churches in Waycross of every de-
nomination will extend their hospitality
to the delegates to the Georgia State Bap-
list Association, which convenes here in
April. Several hundred delegates will
come, and ample preparations are being
made to entertain them.
Persons in Waycross who have business
in Savannah from time to time find the
new train which the Plant system has put
on between Waycross. and Savannah, a
great convenience. The train leaves here
every morning at $40, making all stops
between Savannah, and arrives there at
si5 a. m. and returning leaves Savannah
at 5:i5 y. m, making all local stops, AMI
arrives here at $50 p. m.

Western Men Say He is Not Popular
in Their Section.
Washingtf 4. March 24.--Gov. McKinley's
southern trip is causing considerable
anxiety among the friends of Thomas b.
Reed. Senator Lodge of Massachusetts,.
and Representative Dalzell of Pennsyl-
vania, are supposed to be the regularly
authorized managers of the Reed boom in
this vicinity, and It is said that they view
with alarm" the organization of the Nc
Kinley movement In the southern states.
1t is understood that Mr.. Reeds friends
have but little hope OF securing formida-
BILE following OF the southern delegates to
the nominating convention. He proposes
to turn his attention to the western sec
ton of the country.
At one of the uptown hotels, a few even
ings ago, a party of gentlemen were dis
cussing the presidential question, from a
republican standpoint. Senator Warren
Of Wyoming was one of the party, and HIS
views on the subject attracted general at
tention, from the fact that he IS one Of
the most evenly balanced and conservative
republicans from the west. He is one of
the progressive men of the Senate
Senator Warren was asked how the re-
pubiicans of the west relished the idea
of supporting Tom Reed for the presiden-
west have great respect and admiration
for the political shrewdness and ability
Of Mr.. Reed, but they are hardly pre-
pared to go to him with the presidential
nomination. I'VE might accept him for
second place on the ticket, with some
good western man." replied Senator War
rem, but / do not think Mr.. Reed will
command a very large vote in the west
for first place. He would be just the
man to make Vice President and turn
him loose in the Senate. He has had so
much to criticise in that body that he
might be able to make It more interest
ing as its presiding officer. SO far as
the presidency is concerned our people
would prefer Mckinley to Reed, although
we are not In any way committed 10
Mckinley. There are other men in the
west who are regarded as better quail
fled from our standpoint than either Nc
Kinley or Reed. There Is Senator ALI
son, Senator Teller and several other
men, VINO are very popular In the west.
Then there Is Robert Lincoln. He Is a
man Of exceptionable ability. Under the
circumstances / regard Mr.. Lincoln as
a very formidable presidential POSSIBLE
ity"
The remarks Of Senator Warren made
a strong impression upon those present
and the friends OF Mr. Reed did not APP
pear to relish the vice presidential sug-
gestion in behalf Of their man.
