WILL ATTEND NEXT MEETING.
Not Through Design That Mai. Pope
Was Absent.


The explanation of the reason why Gen
eral Freight and Passenger Agent Pope
Of the Georgia and Alabama railroad were
not present at the recent meeting of the
traffic officials of the lines running into
Mont gomery removes any question of his
desiring to attend. Maj. Pope was seen
last night, upon his arrival in the city
after a weeks absence on business con-
nected with the traffic of the road. He
said he had not received a telegram that
had been sent him by Freight Traffic Man
ager d. f. Jack of the Plant system in
time for him to reply before the meeting
was held. The telegram had been sent to
Mr.. Popes office in this city something
more than a week ago. The office was
closed at the time the message arrived
SO it was taken by the carrier to the yard
office of the road and left. The next morn
ing it was sent in an envelope to the OIL
flee of the general freight and passenger
agent, but he had in the meantime left
the city. 1T was then mailed him from
place TO place, reaching him only a day
or two ago Maj. Pope notified Mr.. Jack
at once of his willingness to attend a meet
ing OF the officials at whatever time they
might desire 90 call ii. The explanation
of the delay following the sending OF the
telegram will doubtless prove satisfactory
to all the officials concerned.
The meeting was held about the middle
of last week at the office of the freight
traffic manager of the Plant system. The
consideration of the cotton apportionment
at Montgomery was the question calling
the officials together, and it was desired
that all the lines should be represented
The Central, the Plant system, the Louis
vile and Nashville and the Western OF
Alabama We're represented, and the OIL
Gals We're unable TO account for the ab-
sence of a representative for the Georgia
and Alabama, as 1t was known that the
general freight and passenger agent had
been notified of the meeting and had been
asked to be present AS the minutes pass
ed and he did not put in an appearance, a
telephone message was sent to his office
with the view of ascertaining whether he
was in the city. Finding that he was not,
it was asked if ne had notified any one in
his office to represent the road. This was
also answered in the negative, and the
officials were forced to postpone the meet
ing until representatives of all the lines
interested could be gotten together.
Maj. Pope says the meeting will proba-
bly, take place some time this week. The
place has not yet been determined upon.
1t will be selected with a view TO the
convenience of all who will attend. Mai.
Pope's business elsewhere last week was
of such a character as to have made it
impossible for him to attend the meeting
held then. This time he will be present.

Why He Laughed.

A good story is told at the expense
of the custodian of the foreign doc
uments department of the French
National library. During the visit
of King Chulalongkorn of Siam a
highly priced paper that it was said
no one had been able to decipher
satisfactorily, because of the mix
ture Of Siamese apd Chinese charac-
ters, was unearthed and shown to
the Siamese visitor.
The king glanced at the precious
paper, indulged in laughter that
was immoderate and unkingly and
then explained that this carefully
guarded and highly priced docu.
ment was merely fire Insurance
policy drawn up for Chinese com.
pany by some Siamese firm, and
that his own signature, which il
bore, was such as all similar docu.
ments contain 1t was, moreover,
written by one Of his secretaries de-
tailed for that work That docu.
ment is not 30 highly priced as it
was. New York Times.

During the visit of George w to
the Emerald Isle there were, Moore
tells us, many good things said.
"One of the 'pisintry,' delighted

through, Och, now, and his majes-
ty, God bless him, never paid the
turnpikel And how's that2' oh,

the dirty money for ye, says Pat.
1t shall never be said that the king
came here and found nobody to pay
the turnpike for him.. Moore, on
his visit to Abbotsford, told this
story to Sir Walter, when they were
comparing notes as to the two royal
visits. Now, Mr.. Moore, replied
Scott, there you have Just the ad-
vantage of us. There was no want of
enthusiasm here. The Scotch folk

rennyson's Love FOR Flowers.

An elaborately illustrated article,
"Tennyson and His Friends at
Freshwater," by V. g. Scott-O' Con.
nor, appears in the December Cen
tury. The author says of the poet
Willingly, he took no part in the
destruction of life. His sympathy
with nature led him to mourn over
the cutting down of trees, as if they
were, like the grove in Dante's "In-
ferno, tho abode of his personal
friends, and he never would con-
sent to his flowers at Farringford
being plucked. II can very we'll re-
member the look on his face" Miss
Weld, his niece, tells me, "when he
met me one day, returning from
his meadows with a wheelbarrow
full of fading daffodils plucked by
me with the lavish hand of child.
He gazed at them very sorrowfully
and in gentle words expressed his
regret that go much beautiful life
had been>needlessly sacrificed.

In Gn Old Cane.

A dear friend Of mine, now many
years dead, an antiquary and a man
of eminence in letters, was shown
over the cathedral of Lichheld by
the then dean. AS q souvenir of his
visit he was presented by the dean
with curious and handsome cane
which some years previously had
been dug out in the course iof some
alterations. For years my friend
used this, until tho top came off,
and the revelatiC was made that
the cane was hollow. Ihrusting
down a finger, the owner brought
out vellum missiye. This proved
TO be letter to the Earl of Essex,
signed by Charles l. asking him to
bring over his army to tho royal
side and promising in recompense
for so doing his own gratitude and
the richest reward that monarch
could bestow upon a subject.
After the death of my friend
was permitted to show the treasure,
for such, in fact, it was, at the Brit,
ish museum, Alas for the hopes
that had been formed! Mr.. Warner
brought me out a practical facsimile,
and told me that others were in ex-
istence. Copies had been made and
several had been dispatched by diff
ferent hand in the hope that one
might reach tho earl. The copy /
held had obviously failed to reach,
though the ingenious plan of con.
cealment prevented its detection un-
til the days of Queen Victoria.-

ORIGIN or LACE.
invented by European Woman - Late
as the Fifteenth Century.

In an interesting article on the
subject of Lace" in 'ihe Woman's
Home Companion Orloha L. Shao-
kleford, after giving the history Of
machine made lace, goes on to say:
Handmade lace has history far
more fascinating. Some have sup
posed that it originated in Egypt,
Inc land that gave birth to nearly
all the arts, but search diligently as
you may and you will never dis
cover in mummy's tomb, on sculp-
tured or painted wall or in any
archaeological find whatever the
pictorial or actual remains Of this
poetic tissue Neither is there docu-
mentary evidence of its presence
thero. Gauzes and nets, fine mus
Inns and exquisite embroideries,
fringes, knotted and plated, you
may meet With frequently, but this
fabric without a foundation, this
ethereal textile, named by the Ital-
ians punto in aria (stitch in air),
you will never chance upon. Whyi
Because it did not exist before the
fifteenth century, because it was in
vented by the European woman,
forming her contribution to the re.
naissance, and as unknown to oricn-
tails, who have even now no love for
its pale pei fection and do not use it
in their costumes or in household
decoration Its lack of color makes
it unlovoly in their eyes.
"Fanciful stories have been woven
to account for the invention of the
art, and the honor has been claimed
by both Venice and Flanders. Yet
it did not at once spring into being
in full perfection, but was rather
an evolution and came by degrees.
I'm punto tagliato (cut point) we
first perceive a cropping in its direc-
ton, for with the pieroings of white
embroidery we have lighter effect.
In drawn work (punto tirato) an
other step was gained, and in retic-
ulated grounds or network we have
a decided advance. Upon this net
the pattern was darned in, and in
France it was called lacis, the near
est word we have to lace. After
these efforts came total emancipa-
tion from all foundations, and the
punto in aria was an assured fact.
THE first lace, it is thought, was
made with the needle point), the
pattern being traced upon parch-
ment or paper, and the outlines
by thread caught now and
then to the paper to keep it in place.
Upon this sraf1olding the slight SUI
perstructure was built, and the
method is still the same. Soon aft
erward the hobbins came in as
factor, and the needle and the bob.
bins remain to this day the only
means employed to produce hand.
made lace. So that all of it resolves
itself into the two generic kinds =
point, which is made by the needle,
and pillow, by the bobbins, or there
may he composite article, made by
both. "
