A POET OF LOOKOUT MOUNTAIN.

More ideal surroundings for the devel-
opment Of q poetic nature cannot b.
Imagined than the home on the brow Of
Lookout mountain where Ella Bryan haR
spent all the years OF her young life.
Nineteen miles from thu Point. deep In
the very heart of nature, the bouse, un-
der Its great white oaks, 9verlooks on,
of the most impressive scenes in tho
world-ths whole valley of northern
Georgia. The faint pillows of the Blue
Ridge bound the view In the distance.
and nearby the wing Of Pigeon mountain,
like q ripple 81 blue waves, projects itself
into the still and beautiful valley below.
Ella Bryan's father and mother (born
a Howard) we're both from Savannah
and chose this ATTRACTIVE spot for homa
onIaccount of its invigorhting climate,
and here, with theif widowed mother,
Ella and her younger brother and sister
have always lived, where every SUI
rounding has been conducive to Ideal
physical and mental development In
this out-of-the-world spot these three
young people have had the devoted SUE

markable woman, one not only thorough
ly educated and well read, but possessed
of an original mind and a powerful char
acter. Their farm STATIONS, fruit apd
vegetable culture, sheep raising, etc., she
conducted herself on scientific principles
until her son was old enough to relieve
her of the responsibility. The studies
of the children, including music, were d.
rected in the most thorough and sys-
tematic manner but although Ella was
a devoted student and omniverous read
err, she possessed other tastes, and
roamed the forest with the freedom of
young nymph or dryad, her cheeks aglow
with health and her brown eyes spark
ling with interest and animation. IS

unheedingly across a crevice In the rock

Quite quietly the huntress bids her stand

Ella Bryan'S work has consisted so far
principally of short poems, Impressions

carried some home one afternoon from an
"aerated bread company" delighted at
my find, but the horrid things were sweet,
and only one had escaped the inevitable
currant. There's no use in saying you
would have your own American way of
cooking, for you wouldn't. The stove
isn't built that way, in the first place,
and the cook isn't built that way, in the
second. That same foolish idea was
born in my brain. 1t was a long time dy-
ing, and It died hard; but 1t died. Gus

able to eat it when 1 got there, and to
drink the vile stuff they call coffee. They
have no molasses; they have no meal,

They talk great deal about corn, but It
isn't corn at ALL it's wheat and rye and

LAWRENCE BUCK.

There Is no member of the Birmingham
Art league held in greater honor than
Mr.. Lawrence Buck, one of the founders
of the institution and one of its most
gifted members. If genius consists In
the power of creation as distinguished
from imitation, his talent stands the
test. There is no mere Photographic re-
production of nature lin his exquisite
landscapes in water color. Each is a
creation of ideal beauty breathing the
soul of poet.
Born in New Orleans, he Is the son Of
the landscape painter, Buck. SO that his
talent is a direct Inheritance. Six or
seven years OF nis-life were spent In Bir-
mingham In the Office of an architect
and he has since moved to Chicago.
where he has opened an office of his own,
malsing speciality of house designs in
water colors for the architects Of that
city. 1t is interesting to know that Mr..
Buck has never had a lesson in water
color painting, but CLEANED all that he
knows In theory from the Instructions
given to beginners in the AIT Amateur
and Art Interchange. This seems a very
remarkable fact to those who have
studied In this line, for his technique is
absolutely .faultless, his color pure and
transparent and his method of handling
that Of the Roman school Of water color
painting.
The commencement of his landscape
painting dates from certain Sunday
when Mr.. Otho Beail, now president OF
the Art leaue, suggested that they
should spend the day sketching from ma
ture. After that the two passed their
and the result was collection of the
most beautiful little landscapes imagina-

LIGHT in DARKNESS.

Were to hear deaths call
From that mist-realm we dread. though
loving rest,
What sweetest thought would enter in my
breast?
Life has been kind with gush of GUNNER
song,
And though the days have not been cold or
long,
Yet OF such gloom has come despite the
sun,
That scarce murmur through my frame
would run,
Were 1 to hear deaths call.
Were to hear deaths call, :.
Whose face would linger with me last, and
-. calm
The pain Of dying as a mothers palm?-
All, faithful one! Your eyes remembered
Would be the CLEAN to cheer the brooding
night;
The while this sweetest consciousness
would thrill,
That through my failures you have loved
me still
Were to hear deaths can.

any more than Ii came from under. do
know that in spite of close-shut windows
it creeps into your rooms and into your
lungs; 1t makes you cough; it steals away
life. do know that there comes a MORN
ing when you wake up to utter black
ness, and the gas must give the light by
day. Silently as a thief in the night it
comes; darker than any night, for no
night shuts out the dull glow of a Lon
don street lamp. No one dares go out
who can stay within. The oldest inha BIZ
tant loses his way In such a fog as this.
Hackmen get down and grope with their
hands as they lead their horses over the
treacherous, slippery asphalt. Even
beast instinct cannot battle with this ST.
lent enemy. And the next morning your
heart stands still as you read of accidents
by land or sea. There Is no gladder cry in
England than this: 1.-THE fog is lifting
God be praised, the fog Is lifting!'

COURSING At OCEAN VIEW,
Little Bob and Maybe Divided
the Bulk of the Money
Yesterday.
Tempest and Butcher Boy Were Run.
nerS Up-Good Hares and
Big Crowd.

Three hundred followers of the leash
saw thirty-dog stake run down to the
finals at Ocean View coursing park yes
terday and witnessed some of the best
running that has taken place on this coast
for many days. The grain-fed hares in
the paddock were in running mood, and,
beyond a little difficulty in getting them
into the open field were all that could be
desired.
When they did reach the open ground ii
took the tieetest of the bounds TO run
them down, and out of the twenty nine
coursed thirteen escaped scot free to fur
nish sport Tor another day. One crafty
old fellow with a white hind leg came out
for his fourth bout with the dogs, and in
spite of his best efforts speedy Maggie was
unable to catch him.
The pool box did heavy business, the
occasional win of a short-ender keeping
those who objected to putting up lon@
odds on favorites in good humor. Follow

vide first and second money. but for the

NEW UNITARIAN PASTOR,
Rev. A. J.. Wells Installed in
the Presence of a Body
of Clergy.
Speeches and Song at the Second Uni
tartan Church-He Referred to
the Brown Scandal.

The Rev. K. J. Wells, the new pastor of
the Second Unitarian Church, corner of
Twentieth and Capp streets, was installed
yesterday afternoon, eight Unitarian
clergymen participating in the ceremony,
which consisted of Scripture lesson by
the Rev. E. r. Dodson, prayer o. in
stallation by the Rev. DR.. Stebbins, a SER
mon by the Rev. C. w. Wendte, the
charge to the church by the Rev. w. G.
Eliot Jr., the charge to the pastor by the
Rev. E. B. Payne, and finally some re-
marks from the new minister himself.
Vocal selections were interspersed
through the services, the choir rendering
Gounod's Praise Ye the Father and
Memberships How Lovely Are the Mes
sages of Peace" Three solos completed
the musical programme, which opened
with an organ voluntary. Frank Coffin
sang Wilkinson's 81 was Glad" Mary
Mann Brown an impromptu selection and
Walter G. Campbell Mozart's who Treads
the Path OF Duty"
The Rev. A. J. Wells came here from
Redlands. For many years, beginning
with 1882, he was pastor of the First Con-
gregational Churcn of Los Angeles. His
immediate predecessor in the Second Uni
tartan pulpit was the Rev. l.. w. Sprague,
who, with his wife, also a Unitarian min
lister, mas accepted work for the winter in
the new South church of Boston.
The Rev. c. w. Wendte preached upon
the value OF the past, the present and the
future, theme that he discussed at length
from the following triple text:
Say not thou what is the cause-why the for
mer days were better than these-for thou dost
not inquire wisely upon this. Behold, now is
the appointed time and now is the day of SAL
Walton. But it doth not yet appear what we
shall be.
In his charge to the church the Rev. W.
G.. Eliot Jr. said:
A church primarily is not a money-making
institution. Il is shame to American civill-
cation that one church should have TO buy
and 10 sell, or die. Primarily it is not char
liable institution, either. Its best work should
be subordinated to the main work-the spir-
itual influence. The church primarily is 1T
social Institution. The social side is only
factor in the attainment of the supreme pur-
pose.
In his personal remarks to the congre-
CATION the Rev. A. J. Wells referred feel
! ingly to the cooperation OF his wife.
Continuing he remarked: The longer
live the more l am disposed to be man
and the less a minister. The tendency
to-day is to honor the man and not the
( office.
II think that is what hundreds of
thousands of people in this City believe in
regard TO the present cloud that darkens
the church horizon. Always goodness will
be the more valuable quality in minister
as we'll as in any other office"
At quarter to evening services began
and were a general continuation of the
afternoons congregational welcome to the
new pastor. The Rev. N. A. Haskell of
San Jose and the Rev. Eliza Topper
Wilkes of Palo Alto were among the
speakers of the evening.

Gus rollcaI, when, amid the applause of the
visitors and the excitement of the moment a
lady in the members gallery, answering a
query of the representatives OF the English
stockholders of the Central Pacific Railroad,
"What have they done?" said:
"They have accompanied your bill without
instructions. Go tell your English friends that
You to-day have witnessed an exhibition OF
American manhood and honesty"
That Is the universal verdict Good effects
are noticeable everywhere. People have re-
newed faith in our institutions and in the
honesty of purpose of their public servants.
In California, where for twenty years it was
sought without avail to organize a competitive
system from San Francisco to the interior OF
the State, over s., 900 600 were subscribed in a
week after that memorable day.
Counties, cities and towns are wing with
one another in fostering the great enterprise
The organization is now complete, and
ground viii be broken in few weeks.
Encouraged by the victories gained in this
Congress, the people have awakened to a just
conception of the responsibilities resting upon
this body in the future.
Woe to the man or party taking a backward
step in this battle against the usurpauons OF
corporate power!
