The strangest experience I ever had. -
said Weil-knOWn detective to a repOr-
ter for the Cincinnati Tribune, was in
locating a sneaE-thief who systemat-
lcally robbed a business man s residence.
There had been a number of robberies,
extending over considerable space OF
time The servants. OF the house had
been changed several times, and yet the
theIts continued. About once a week
some one entered the mans sleeping
apartments and took what money he had,
If any, II not, succeeded in obtaining
some Of his wife's jewels or valuable sill
FerWare- was employed in the case and
made thorough examination OF the
at first 1 thought the work was
done by some one inside the house, but
my client told me that he had surprised
the man one night. and that he went out
or the window and down the porch,
which was undoubtedly the way he had
come in. He described the man as be-
ing small, thin and pale, and wearing a
peculiar mask. The description did not
suit any one in the house or any one
whom the business man knew.
Ny client slept in the front room, and
nls wife in one adjoining, there being
double doors between them. searched
the pawnshops thoroughly and could
md no trace of the missing Jewels or
sllFerWare, and after watching the house
from the outside for several nights dur
ing which time there was another rob
Dery, L prepared to sleep in my clients
rooms 10 which he readily assented. The
nrst night l slept there my cLent'e be-
longings were undisturbed, but several
dollars IN loose change had been alb
stracted from my own pockets. although
usually L am a very light sleeper and
awaken at once by any unusual sound
l SAID nothing about my loss, but con-
cluqed TO remain awake thereafter
for several nights nothing occurred,
When one morning about O'Clock a form
came through the folding doors, that
connected the room where l was with
that occupied by the wife of my client
1 pretended TO be asleep, and awaited
the thiefs approach. 1t looked like a
pale-faced boy. over its head was thrown
dark shawl that gave the appearance
OF a mask and a coat, but the form was
DdreIoOteq ana mad on nothing besides
the shawl but nightgown. Noiselessly
it glided to the window, unlocked it and
passed out on the porch. / knew in q
moment that the person was the wife
Of my client, and 1 followed a once. As
shone directly in her face, and / saw
that she was asleep. The woman went
directly to an arbOr that had once been
a spring house, and lifting a loose board,
dropped something and returned the way
she came TO her own apartments.
Il Immediately investigated, and found
that in the place formerly used for the
storage of milk and butter the missing
jewels. silver and money were piled. The
next morning l told my client and showed
him where the missing articles We're.
He stated that his wife was possessed
time he would fail and would be reduced
to want, although entirely rational upon
all other subjects. This probably took
possession of her mind while she slept
and, being of a somnambulistic tendency,
her boarding of the Valuables was eX-
lection whatever of her nightly depreda-
tons"

PER SONAL.

Joseph Jefferson never talks politics.
What his party bias may be is not gener-
ally known. He is very diplomatic in dodg-
ing all questions that tend to entrap him
into an expression of opinion regarding
national issues.
Count Leo Tolstoi is vigorous hater
OF England. He says the English and the
Zulus should be herded together as the
two most brutal nations of the earth. His
chief regret, he declares. is that he can
not spare the time TO write a book about
the English people.
Gen. E. D. Reyes, who died recently
of old age in Nice, was a popular officer
on the Pacific coast. He was at one time
in charge of the Preside, and after his
retirement from the army he became
president of the California Vine Culture
Society. In 1861 he was Winfield Scott
military secretary, and he had an excel
lent war record.
Joaquin Miller related an anecdote
in Oakland, Cal, the other day of Car
lyle, whom he visited with Lord Hough-
ton in Chelsea. The sage, in dressing
gown and slippers, sat at his fireplace
and poked the fire while he discoursed
on the Immortality of the soul. Il
know of but one thing on this earth more
monstrous than a man without religion -
said kle. And what is that thing?'
asked one of the visitors. 1T Is a wo-
man without religion" said Carlyle.

A False Yarn.

The latest Pennsylvania romance, says
the New Orleans Picayune, is to the eff
feet that a Chester lady, prominent in
telford road on her bicycle when a sud
den sneeze sent her false teeth flying over
the machine. Instantly dismounting she
searched in vain for the missing molars,
and, reluctantly remounting the wheel,
pedaled homeward. The loss worried the
lady, whose social functions were numer-
Gus, and. as her teeth had often been ad-
mired, new set meant social oblivion for
several days. While her pretty brow was
drawn together in perplexity she no.
ticed an excrescence on the tire, and, dis
mounting second time. she was sur
prised and overjoyed to find the false teeth
sticking like burr in the pneumatic tire,
which they had punctured. This story is
probably not true. The bicycle does many
wonderful things; but it is not probable
that it goes rolling through the country
picking up false teeth, and restoring them
to their owners.

To n southern Girl.

From the Buffalo Commercial.
Her eyes
Would match the southern skies
When southern skies were bluest;
Her heart
VIII always take it's part
Where southern hearts are truest.
Bright pearls
The gems of southern girls,
Her winning smile discloses;
Her cheeks
When admiration speaks,
Were only southern roses.
Her voice
BY nature and by choice,
Fen those who know her slightes
VIII find
AS soft as southern wind
When southern winds are lightest.
Her laugh
As light as wine or chaff.
Breaks clear at witty sallies.
AS brooks
Run bubbling through the hooks
OF all her southern valleys.
Such youth
With all it's charms forsooth-
Alas, too well, l know it,
Will claim
A song of love and fame
Sung by some southern poet;
But she
In future years maybe
These verses will discover
Some time
May read this little ryhme
Sung by northern lover.

Some years ago in Worcester, Mass,
says the Gazette of that city, when Chi

the conversation as fouows: Hello, John!

The south Al Right.

Some Of the silverite organs are dispos-
ed TO treat lightly the remark that Sec
rotary Morton is alleged to have made on
his return to Washington from the Cotton
States and International Exposition.
namely that the farmers when shaking
hands with the President said 70 him that
they We're getting eight cents a pound for
their cotton. and they wanted what they
received for it in sound money. They viii
not. however, be inclined to question the
truthfulncss of what Postmaster General
Wilson said in speaking Of his expert
ences with the Presidential party at the
exposition. He is reported 10 have said
that the people of Georgia have at last
come around to view the financial ques,
ton in the proper light. 1 talked with
the leading men Of the state, and they
assured me that Georgia would send a
sound money delegation to the next ma
tional democratic convention" He also
said that the change in sentiment on the
financial question was not confined to
Georgia, but had become general, and
that when the time came for action the
south would be found all right on the
money question.
The Postmaster General is not one of
those enthusiastic individuals who ex-
press opinions without having satisfac-
tory information to support them. He is
a close observer. and is careful about his
facts when he delivers an opinion or
makes a prediction on any subject If he
We're not satisfied that the prevailing SEN
tinient in Georgia. and in fact, in the
whole south, on the financial question
was in favor of sound money he would
not say so. There is no good ground for
doubling that he understands correctly
the sentiment in the south on the money
question There was a time. and it was
not very long ago, when there were am
pie reasons for fearing this state, and all
the other cotton-growing states, were
drifting towards wrong ideas on the mon
ey question. 1t was when the price of
middling cotton was ranging about five
cents a pound, and the silverite papers
and stump speakers were telling the peo-
pie that the low price of cotton was due
to the fact that our minis were closed to
the free and unlimited coinage of silver,
and that the price of cotton would never
be any higher until we had free and I'M
limited silver coinage.
The people now know that the silverites
were wrong. They have satisfactory
proof that silver has nothing whatever
to do with the price of cotton. Cotton has
been nearly nine cents a pound, and is
still selling for more than eight cents,
with very promising prospect that it
will sell for nine cents before very long.
We have no hesitation in predicting that
the delegation from Georgia to the ma
tlonal democratic convention will be for
sound money. Indeed. we do not think
there is any reason for expecting that
there will be over hundred silverites in
the national democratic convention,

The President Given Credit.
From the Chicago Record Qnd.).

The income tax is forgotten. 1t fur
nishes an example of the ease with which
such things pass out of the mind And
you do not hear the silver question dis
cussed any more. / have attempted to in
tervieW several bankers upon that sub
ject, and they take no further interest in
it. As one of them remarked: Free coin
age IS a dead cock in the pit. 1t was
killed by returning prosperity" And he
quoted Francis Newlands, the represen-
tative from Nevada, who said: You can
not talk 16 to l in the face of good times. .
when business was dull" continued the
banker, 'and people had little to do, with
plenty of time to think and discuss prob
lens in political economy and measures
for their relief, free coinage was a popu-
lar panacea; but now that everybody is
busy, everybody is hopeful and has some
thing else to think about, it isn't so allur-
ing, and they are willing to go along with
out trying financial experiments" 1 find
that President Cleveland is credited with
having suppressed the silver agitation
and that fact has strengthened his popu-
larity in financial circles.

The "Ad." He Paid For.

A business man in a town in this state
says the New York Tribune, was recent
ly asked by a lady to put an lad" in the
Wv oman's Edition" of the local paper that
was soon to appear. He did not want to
do any advertising just then, but at the
same time he did want to help the women,
So he gave them them the following lad .
which duly appeared: "Oh, woman. Wo-
mani Thou shouldst have few sins Of
thine own to answer for for thou art the
authoress of such a book of follies in man
it would take the tears of all the angels Ia
blot the record out. Paying $50 for this

vertible verification of the above quota

The Augusta Chronicle celebrated the
birthday of Mr.. Henry B. Plant by print
ing an impressionist picture of him. We
say impressionist picture of him, because
the smudge of ink on the Chronicles
third page creates the impression that
there is concealed in its murky depths
the counterfeit presenument of a hand
some man. and a footline says the wen
concealed person is Mr.. Plant. No notice
has yet been given of a suit for libel on
the part of Mr.. Plant, so it is taken for
granted that he Will accept the Chroni-
cle's good intentions as equivalent to the
intended compliment.

On last Saturday, electricity was for
the first time applied to the propulsion
of canal boats for commercial purposes.
on the Erie canal, at Tonawanda. n. Y.
Tests had previously proved the electric
system practicable. hence there was no
element of doubt when the current was
turned on to set the freight boat in mo-
ton. 1t is said the adoption of cleo
tricity on the canal will greatly reduce
the freight rates on grain from the west
to the port of New York.

The New Orleans Picayune has reduced
its estimate of the Louisiana rice crop.
During the summer. it says. a yield of
100000 bags seemed indicated. Later
than that. that estimate was reduced to
100000 Now, even that figure must be
shaded, although to what extent the pa
per is not in a position to say with GER
tainty. At any rate, the crop will not
be a phenomenal one" as was at first
promised. On the other hand, it appears
that the price is lower than the outlook
and the statistical position would seem
to warrant. The Picayune. therefore,
looks for an advance before the movement
has progressed much further.

1t appears that Capt. Gen. Campos and
the Spanish government are making their
calculations so as to include the recog-
milton by the United States of the Cuban
insurgents. Campos intimates that the
recognition of the insurgents by this coun-
try would not be disagreeable to him, be-
cause it would clear the situation, giving
the Spaniards the right to search vessels
which they cannot now apprehend. 1t is
also to be inferred from what he says
that it would be a means to the end of
letting Spain down easy in the matter of
losing Cuba-otherwise, closing Cuba hon
orably," as he puts it. The Spanish idea
seems to be immediate war upon the Uni
ted States, as soon as the insurgents are
recognized.

Negroes as Property owners.

In this state in 1880 the negroes re-
turned s5,76l29s worth of property for
taxation. This year the amount of prop
erty they returned was 1924 ,2SO. In 1893
they returned property to the amount of
about S15,OOOOOO. The falling of between
1893 and 1896 does not indicate that they
have taken step backward in the matter
of accommodating property. 1t only means
that during the hard times they thought
they were poorer, and, hence, did not
return their property at as high a valua-
ton.
The foregoing figures are taken from
the governors message, and are presented
here to show that the negroes are stead
lily accommodating property. If they were
thrifty it would not be many years before
they would double and treble their hold
fngs in this state, and in proportion as
they accumulated property they would
become better citizens.
But, all things considered, they have
made commendable progress in quarter
of century. In the next twenty-five
years they will have much more to their
| credit, Their advancement in everything
that marks a higher level of civilization
win be greater each succeeding year, and
as they advance they will take broader
views of their citizenship and will grad
ually cease to think that their success. as
a race depends upon acting together in
all matters that affect the public well
fare.
They are being complimented upon their
exhibit at Atlanta, and very justly so.
! The fact that they take pride in it is
an encouraging sign. 1t means that they
are beginning to appreciate that there
is place for them in the south which
they can FILL If they can get firmly fixed
in their minds the advice which Prof.
Washington gave them in his address
at the opening Of the exposition, namely.
I that what they want is not the right to
spend a dollar for seat in the orchestra
circle at the theater, but a chance TO
earn a dollar in the various occupations
of life. they will gradually work out a
happy and satisfactory future for them
selves.
Unfortunately too many of the younger
negroes feel they must show spirit of
independence, and they adopt offensive
methods TO accomplish that object Their
progress will be in proportion as they
learn that a proper self respect does not
depend upon offensive self-asscrtion and
as they discharge faithfully and consci-
entiously the duties Of the positions they
/ occupy.

He was probably the most widely known

judgment of news, and his talent in hand

The Canal ana Politics.
From the Florida Times-Union Dem.)

The Nicaragua canal question has reached
point where politics must be eliminated,
and only the good of the country and the
people at large must be considered. The
fact exists that the south would reap
the completion of the project, but it must
also be remembered that whatever bene-
fits one section likewise works to the
advantage of every other portion of the
country and exactly in proportion to the
increase in the wealth and prosperity of
the south will it's contributions to the
general revenue of the nation be aug
mented. Whatever action congress may
take in regard to the canal, there can be
no question as to the preponderancy of
the sentiment in its favor among the
tics or section.

The Presidents Reception.
From Springfield (Iass) Republican On

There is no doubt of the cordiality of the
welcome of the President in the south
The newspapers most opposed to him re-
port his reception of the warmest nature
everywhere, and the great crowd at At
in its demonstration of regard. There
was every reason for this, as the Presi-
dent of the exposition company said in his
address of welcome, and in spite of the
difference of some of them with him on
the money question: and the bitterness of
a few disappointed politicians, and news
papers with a grievance, he has the warm
regard and cordial respect of the common
people, not only of the south, but of the
WI ol
