1t has been suggested by a GER

Dangerous to BE Too .PoIite.

Sumner Cunningham, hero Of the battle
OF Franklin, and traveller for the Davis
Memorial fund, is the most ardent wor-
shipper of women that ever came from the
Wilds of East Tennessee. says the New
York Press. He is the first man to rise
in crowded car TO offer his seat. He
could not possibly keep his hat on in an
elevator. His umbrella is always ready to
keep off the sun and rain from feminine
heads. He is ever on the watch for a
chance to do something that is agreeab Bile
and polite and attentive. A few days ago
he was hurrying up Fifth avenue, when
at Thirty street he espied two
handsome women well laden with bun
dies They had evidently been shopping
and were now on their way home one

nation to carry the packages home for
her. He wanted to be her servant-her
anything He was entirely too Emporium
ate from New Workers. point of view,
but in the goodness of his heart he could
not bear to see a pretty woman so loaded
down. The two women whispered. Then
the elder said that If he did not give up
her bundles she would call "A policeman
and have him arrested. He protested that
he was a gentleman, but they would not
believe it, They thought he was a sort of
look at It. He gave his name and address,
handed out his card, but they refused to
but they declared that they would scream
if he did not leave them. So there was
nothing to do but give them their prop
erty and sneak away. At the next cor
ner he found a policeman, to whom he
told everything. The remark of the Off
Ger was: Better not try to carry bundles
for strange women in New York; liable
to get yourself in trouble.

An Interesting barbarian

London has rather troublesome visitor.
He is Shah Zada Nasrulia Kahn from the
far away country of Afghanistan- He is
the guest Of the government. and very
troublesome guest he is. Every once in
awhile the English government has
troublesome. guest of this sort. and the
society people Of the metropolis help to
entertain him. These troublesome guests
come from some one Of England's de-
Tendencies in the cast or from some one
OF little countries adjacent TO her pos
sessions with which she wishes to be on
good terms.
This is Shah Zada's first visit to Eu-
rope. and he finds it difficult TO recon-
Gle himself 10 European customs and
manners. He has a lot Of soldiers and
servants with him. all Of whom are en-
tertained at Engiand's expense. II what

and stole the bric-a-brac. They refused
TO occupy the beds, finding the floor much
more to their liking They stole the spoons
and other small articles of table furni-
ture. and they stole all the articles of
food they could lay their hands on, not
because they had any use for them but
because they couldn't resist the natural
inclination to steal. The soldiers and SER
wants were quartered in the outbuldings
and inside of week it was found nee
essary to take them to a public bath and
give them a good scrubbing, and 10 thor
oughly clean and disinfect their quarters
And Shah Zada thinks he and his peo-
pie are much more civilized than English
men. At a reception given in his honor

long time 10 enter the drawing room,

The decolette style of the dresses amazed
him so that he declined to take Lady
Lansdowne into supper And yet this ru-

English drawing room, regards the sera-
Clio as very proper institution, so COM

of her visitors. She has been afraid ever

An Audience of One.

Several amusing stories are told of the
slim audiences which greeted Sir Edwin
Arnold in some of our western cities, says
the Philadelphia Press, but it remained
for Omaha to give the author of The
Light of Asia" the slimmest of all.
Sir Edwin had Travelled all night from
Indianapolis to Omaha, and expected
great things of the people of the latter
city. He had been greeted by a respecta-
bly, sized audience in Minneapolis, but in
some way or other the famous author
had pictured Omaha TO himself as an
enormous metropolis, whose citizens would
flock to hear him.
Upon reaching his hotel early in the
morning Sir Edwin said to his manager
WEI"
"Well, don't know" said the manager,
in rather a crestfallen way. II have Just
been to the place where the advance sale
has been going on for ten days, but the
rush has not been very great"
"Oh, WE'LL said Sir Edwin, encourage
ingly 1T can't help having been tolerably
large How many seats have been sold2s' =
well, since you ask, Sir Edwin so
pontedly. l win tell you. We have Just
sold one seat. and the buyer of that is
now waiting downstairs to see you"
The English poet was Crestfallen, but.
recovering himself, he asked that his Wis,
itor he shown up to him. 1t turned out
to be a young woman who was an intense
admirer of Sir Edwin. He kept his visitor
there for two hours, reading to his audi
ence of one the entire lecture. Then, bow
ing his audience out, he called his manager
and said:
well, have delivered my lecture. Why
should we stay here?'
This struck the manager as rather A
sensible idea, and, hurriedly arranging
with the owners of the hall, the lecture
was Cancelled, and by noon the lecturer
and his manager were off for the next
stop.
In the evening just four people turned
up at the hall, to be met with the notice
that there would be no lecture.

Gold in GeorgIa.

While a certain school Of politicians
are decrying gold and apparently trying
TO create the impression that everybody
who favors gold in one way or another
is a public enemy. it is worth while to
note that the gold mining industry Is a
very important item in the list Of wealth
producers of this state, and that the in
terest in the industry is steadily increas-
ing In its last issue the Cherokee Ad-
vance, published at Canton, in Cherokee
county. states that several big mining
deals in that county are at the point
of contamination, the details of which
will shortly be made known. Within a
short time other deals in Cherokee have
been made, with the effect of opening
mining properties and greatly increasing
the output. Some of the mines are act
ually being worked day and night. The
Georgiana mine, in West Cherokee, is
one property being so worked, and il is
paying its owners handsomely. In the
same section there are other mines that
are doing almost If not quite as well.
At the Chester mine a new 40O-foot shaft
is being sunk to tap vein that is known
to be quite rich. Deep mining is said
to be the most remunerative in the sec
ton of the Chester. AT the Rudasin.
several nuggets as heavy as seventy-five
pennyweights have been taken out, and
there is plenty more left.

story at the expense of the proprietor
is told. Two of the miners, presumably
colored men, proposed that they receive
as the pay for their weeks work what
ever gold they might be able to take
out of little plot of ground about eight
feet square. The proprietor assented. and
the men went to work. In a short while
they had turned up an eleven-pennyweigh
nugget and several smaller ones. worth
in all about $50. This was the work of
a few minutes. When the proprietor saw
what was going on he quickly asked
for arbitration, and struck a bargain with
the men whereby he would come in for
share of the profits.
Mining is not active in Cherokee county
alone. Reports from Lumpkin, McDufie
| and White are in the same strain. Lump-
kin is the chief gold producing county
in the state. In 1898 it turned out about
$4,000 worth of the metal, and was fol-
lowed by Cherokee with about half of
that amount. There are some fifteen gold
producing counties in Georgia. In 1899
they put out altogether more than $780,
600 worth of gold. The opinion has been
expressed that the production this year
will show an increase approximating 50
| per cent.

Not a Representative Convention.

church has been a money-making concern
and it teaches wholesome business lessons.

Tribune says viii be Overwhelmingly
adopted. are the provisions against poly
gamy and for the political and civil equal

abolished, except in case a district Judge
shall summons one in an instance of pub
lie necessity. When a grand Jury
has been summoned its number
of members is not to exceed seven,

1t seems, according to the press dis
patches, that there must have been. after
all, a good many of Gov. Altgelds friends
in Springfield during the late free silver
convention, although there were but few
of his friends among those in the conyen-
ton. The reports say large number of
people were touched" for their watches
and pocket books during the day of the
convention. The suggestion in the dis
patches is that the light fingered gentry
robbed only those who could afford the
losses, and chose their victims, whenever
possible, from among the men with whom
they differed politically. When they found
that they had stolen from their friends. the
booty was restored to it's rightful owners.

Gov. Altgeld of Illinois, says that the
free silver convention at Springfield
represented over 80 per cent. of the demo-
Gratis of the state" Nearly one-third of
the population of the state is in Cook
county, (Chicago) In that county more
than $4,000 votes were east for Mr.. Cleve-
land. Out of that number only AZ votes
were cast in favor of the delegates sent
to Altgelds Springfield convention. 1t is
asserted by competent judges that the Cook
county delegation was as representative
of the democrats of that county as was the
delegation from any other county. Where
Altgeld gets his 80 per cent. therefore. is
not apparent The fact is that the con-
vention was snap" affair, and a very
disappointing one to its engineers. The
history of the famous SNAP" convention
of New York should furnish some mighty
interesting points for consideration by the
Illinois politicians about now.

If it (Altgeld's couvention) draws off the

cy, it may have a wholesome effect. for
