-'-
national exposition, which il to be held
in Atlanta. These plans were carefully
examined by the board of women nan
ayers of the exposition, and the design
submitted by Miss Elise Mercur OF Pitts
burg proved the most acceptable. The
choice was the unanimous verdict Of the
board. and that the competition was de-
cided strictly upon its merits is shown
by the fact that Miss Mercur was not
personally known to a single resident Of
Atlanta, while three Atlanta women
architects were represented by plans.
Miss Mercur's design was not only
beautiful as to exterior, but the interior
arrangements were practical and como
mized all of the available space with
mere success than amy other plan sub
mitted. From the cellar to the dome
everything was arranged in q masterful
manner, and each woman member Of
the board found every need supplied.
There was space for every proposed ex-
hibit by the women of the country. The
architect who conferred with the com
mittee in regard to their choice Of plans
said he had no idea that women could
do such artistic and practical designing
and drawing.
These buildings, - he said admitting
~, ''are bold enough to have been
drawn by men" Ii il thus plainly
demonstrated that the coming woman
has got here, in architecture at least.

A woman who probably voices the
question of n great many other women

she naturally wishes to use in cunt

ID not large enough for her to invest In

About two years ago this Same Ques-

RoSSIGN0LI IN SUDANESE ~ was capSufeo
COSTUME. about the time
that Chinese Gordon, then gov vernon gen.
eral of the equator under the khedive
Of Egypt, went to Khartum alone after
the destruction of Hicks army by the
mahdi's forces and assumed command
Of the Egyptian army. Although Cor
don saw death staring him in the face.
he concluded to hold Khartum to the
bitter end and did SO. After o siege of
S17 days, and when an English army
was almost at hand, the mahdi's forces
carried the city by assault on Jan. 26,
1885, and some 4, 900 people. including
Gordon himself, were massacred.
Father Rossignoli was taken to Om-
durham by the mahdists and made o
slave. After years of drudgery and
cruel treatment Major F. R. Wingate of
the British army learned of his where
abouts and sent Abdulla to assist him to
escape from the hostile mahdists. Major
Wingate is famous for this sort of hu-
name work. In 1892 he effected the es-
cape of three other captives, two nuns
and Father Ohrwalder. He il an Arabic
scholar and usually has little difficulty
in finding a native who for q consid-
Grafton will attempt the rescue of a
mahdist captive. A different guide
must be employed each time, for once
he has effected the escape of a prisoner
he would forfeit his life if he returned
to the Sudan. The fate Of several other
Europeans who were captured before
and after the fall of Khartum has new
er been learned, and they are doubtless
still held as slaves by the mahdists.

THE NEW MONUMENT. 1850, and the
women raised $75, 600 for the purpose
of erecting a monument. When the war
began, Mr.. Snowden, who had charge
Of the money, and who is still living in
Charleston, invested the fundFin United
States bonds for its greater safety, and
at the approach of the Federal troops she
fed from the city, with the bonds Sc
curely sewed in her clothing.
After the war Albert e. Hanrish de-
signed the statue in Rome, where Ii was
also cast. It's cost was about s44, 900,
but it seemed SO inartistic to the major
ity of South Carolina people that some
fertile brain conceived the idea of erect
ing another with the substantial sum
still remaining to the credit of the Cal
houn association. The new statue is be-
ing designed by J.. Massey Rhind, sculp-
tor Of the proposed monument TO John
c. Fremont. 1t will be his aim to pro-
duce q statue that will accurately rep
resent Calhoun as he appeared when in
the height of his fame as q United
States senator and when his debates with
Daniel Webster thrilled the entire coun-
try. 1t is believed that the dedication
will occur late in the fall of 1895.
South Carolina promises to fairly
eclipse her previous effort when the new
statue is presented to the public. The
old statue will be demolished, bat the
pedestal will be utilized. From the ped
estal will rise q column 64h feet in
height, at the top of which, some 80
feet above the street, will be placed the
new statue. On either side Of the ped
estal will be two bronze palmetto trees

Copy of original letter to Daily LIGHT Of
that date
SAN ANTONIO, Feb. 9Th, 1889.
Mr.. Editor: Having had rather
spicy conversation with Nat Lewis
ex-sheriff Of BeXar county, concern
ing the city Of San Antonio, there
were things said by Mr.. Lewis
which in my opinion ought to
be made public. Mr.. Lewis talked
a good deal in defence of Mayor
Callaghan. After he had "talked
about OUT" l put some questions
to him. The first was as to the
work done by Mr.. Braden, particu.
larly on Fourth street, which work
was not executed in accordance
with the plans and specifica-
tions, and yet Mr.. Braden
received full pay. l further
stated that the aldermen
who received that work, did not do
their duty, in accepting said work,
and recon- amending the payment Of
Mr.. Braden. Mr.. Dan Lewis was
one Of said committee. Mr.. Nat
Lewis asserted that his brother,
Dan Lewis, did not sign the recon-
mendation that Mr.. Braden be
paid for said work, but left town
for his ranch to avoid signing the
recommendation. Mr.. Nat Lewis
said that Mr.. Callaghan, the
mayor, asserted in the most posi-
tive manner, that Mr.. Braden must
be paid for said work, else he and
his securities would be made bank
rupts. In addition Mr.. Nat Lewis
said: "Uncle Wash, for Gods sake,
hold up. l am on Ed. Braden's
bond, in the matter OF building the
Town Hall, for $4,000. II 1 were
of that, they both might go to the
devil, for me-"
This remark was made In answer
to a query Of mine why they were
so anxious to have Callaghan
elected. Again, II Mr.. Braden Is
going to do the work on the town
hall in accordance with plans and
specifications, why are his securi-
ties so anxious to have Callaghan
reelected? H. w. LONG.

Goodbye, johnny.
Goodbye, Herman.
Goodbye, Willie.
Goodbye, Brian.
| Bob Green and Sullivan were
not in love with the Mexican and
Callaghan in 1892. and handled
them without gloves. Lust OF
office makes men eat their words
and abandon their principles.
Major Grlce's conversion to CAL
laghanism laid the conversion OF
st. Paul in the shade.
The die is cast. Elmendorf is
sure to be elected. The Callaghau
craft was unseaworthy from the
start, and will go down on Monday.
It's very cheeky in men, who T ay
no taxes, to want the properly
holders to give them the power to
levy taxes.
Keep a sharp watch at every pre-
cinct, on Monday, for illegal voters.
The Callaghan crowd deals in fraud
ulent and illegal votes and have
caused hundreds to register in
fraud OF the law.
The Express will have to ca
crow with ladle after the election
1t has helped Elmendorf wonder
fully by opposing him.
1t is a funny sight to see the So
called leaders Of the workingmen
in the same truckle bed with the
corporations. They cannot deliver
the goods to the corporations.
Gen. Peck, after the election, will
be like the boy the mule kicked

will have to go into the dock for
