A brSlal couple. who put in several days
recently taking in the sights of the capital
enjoyed themselves immensely until the
day preceding their departure says the
Washington Post. It then occurred to the
bride that she had rot called upon Dear
Fanny" who had been her chum during
her days at the seminary. Now, Fanny
was still enjoying single blessedness, and
this may have had something to do with
the anxiety of the bride to call upon her
maiden chum. George demurred feebiy
but al last consented TO pay formal call
The bride dressed herself in a fetching
gown and placed upon her saucy mead a
Partisan dream in the way of a hat. The
hat was one of those indescribable crea-
tons of the milliner's art, mass of flow
ers with a bird or two partially concealed
in the foliage, so to speak.
The pair went gayly forth, and in a hotel
coupe We're soon at the door of Fanny S
residence. The cards were taken and they
We're ushered into the drawing room.
While waiting the coming of her friend
the brides attention was attracted to a
large cage containing a splendid parrot.
She chirruped cooingly to the imprisoned
bird, and wished she might take him out
of his cage and caress him. George re-
marked that he looked tame enough, and
suggested the opening of the door of the
cage. OulllH5 action WlIn the NOIu lie
opened the door, and the released bird
calmly walked forth and strutted about,
blinking his beady eyes knowingly. The
bride, with usual calls of Poll, pretty
poll" coaxed the bird toward her, and
poll proceeded TO climb up the rounds OF
the chair upon which the lady was sitting
and perched herself upon the arm of the
chair. The parrot uttered gutteral cries
of Polly, polly this word seemingly
comprising her entire vocabulary.
The bird accepted the caresses and, ap-
parently all was serene, but without an
instants warning she uttered a scream of
rage and flew at the lady's headgear,
alightiHg fairly thereon, and then for
few minutes the air was filed with flying
feathers and bits of flowers, while the
atmosphere was fractured by screams
from the bride and discordant cries from
the parrot George attempted TO come to
the rescue, and had his face badly scratch
ed for his pains. The lady finally shook
the bird loose from the flower garden she
was wearing upon her hat and made one
wild dash for the front door, followed
closely by the bridegroom. Once on the
pavement they became somewhat com
posed and determined to return to their
hotel to repair damages. They did not
tarry long enough to see Dear Fanny"
The sudden wrath of the bird was evil
IDENTIFY caused, George thought upon re-
Election during calmer moments, by the
fact that amid the flowers in his wife't hat
there nestled a stuffed Caroline parrakeet,
which the parrot took to be real live
rival and proceeded forthwith to demolish.
The bride is now a thorough convert to
the teachings of the Audubon Society.

Another swindIe Discovered.

A young man connected with a Wall
street banking house, who has just re-
turned from a vacation spent in Pike
county, Pa, where some of the natives
have only just heard of McKinley's elec-
ton, tells an amusing story. says the New
York Commercial Advertiser. An old far
mer had been reading a newspaper that
the visitor took to the place in his luggage.
The farmer leaped to his feet, used
strong language, and, walking up and
down the veranda to work off his excess
of anger.

itor

farmers, that's what it isy' cried the host.

The visitor declared that he fell off his

appointed by congress to look into the de-

aldermen of Savannah, through Congress

would be largely benefited by the estab-

better than, those of any other city in the
country. If the plate is TO be shipped else
where, this port is the best shipping point
on the South Atlantic. If it is TO be used
where it IS manufactured, Savannah is an
excellent port for ship building.
There are many reasons why Savannah
should have the proposed works. The
people and the officials of the city should
take hold Of the matter promptly. Most
surprising results are sometimes accom-
plished by going to work early and con-
tinung it steadily.

King of the Zulus, according to the New

changed to Theirs. His fame syread and
his middle name was welded to his sur
name with hyphen.

From the New York Herald dnd).

Northern newspapers are apt to find a
good deal of fault with our southern
neighbors because of their regard for
Judge Lynch. Our sarcasm is let loose.
and presumably we feel much better after
getting rid of our superlatives
Perhaps the criticism is merited. Lynch
ing a criminal does the community no
good. but. rather, harm. That rule ap-
plies to us as well as to others. IL we
want to throw stones. why not throw a
few al ourselves? We also take the hang
mans rope out of the hangman's hands
rather frequently, and find plenty Of ex-
cuse for doing so. Every week or two
we learn of a mob that doesn't give the
court of justice a fair show, and the mob
lives north of Mason and Dixon's line.

An Indiana farmer named Shuman has
been endeavoring TO sue William Jen-
nings Bryan because of the advance in
the price of wheat. Shuman. who was a
silver man. heard Bryan say at Indianap-
oils last fall that If silver went down. as
it surely would do if the republicans won,
the price of wheat would also go down.
The day after the election he thought he
had good things when he contracted to
deliver his entire crop of wheat at IS cents
a bushel, and this he had to do at time
when the other farmers were receiving 81
a bushel right along. Being a loser to the
extent of several hundred dollars he
thought he could recover from MIR. Bryan.

disappointed when he learned he could

The Georgia Federation of Woman's
Clubs is making some earnest and inter
esting efforts in behalf of co-education at
the State University. The chancellor of
the University of Missouri gives some
valuable testimony on the subject from
the standpoint of the women, and the re-
suits with that institution which has tried
it for fifteen years or more, are said TO
have been entirely satisfactory. In almost
all cases where women have been admitted
to southern universities il has been done
without any special arrangements having
been made for their accommodation, and
II is Believed by those most Interested that
it is possible and practicable to pursue
this course In every instance. These la
dies are doing some hard work in behalf
of the Georgia girls, and the results of
their efforts viii be watched with much
interest.

No Sectional Histories.
From the New Orleans Picayune Dem.

Now that the war is over. and all the
citizens of all the states are fellow-citi-
zens of the republic, there ought to be no
sectional histories. and the truth ought
to be told impartially. Certainly the
southern people can afford to have the
whole truth told on their side. No history
of the war can be truthful that does not
give the facts concerning the state of
feeling and belief of the southern people
as to their constitutional rights prior 10
and at the time the war was precipitated
by the acts of the northern people and
the government under the control Of the
northern people.

The reports of a deadly fever at Ocean
Springs, Miss. and of one death in New
Orleans of a man who had just returned
to the city from that resort, are added
evidence of the fact that fevers of an
epidemic and dangerous character are
liable to be developed in southern towns
or cities where the sanitary conditions
are favorable to the propagation of dis
ease germs. 1t is not necessary to name
cities in which this fact has been demon
strated. The line of liability extends from
Jacksonville on the southeast to Memphis
on the northwest. 1t may be a disputed
question whether the fevers which have
swept over such places were yellow, dem
que, homorrhagic, high bilious malarial
or of other Characterization, but there is
no question that by whatever name they
may have been known, the effects were
the same--death and desolation.
1t has been shown, however, in the case
of the city of Memphis. especially, that
to put city and its surroundings in
perfect sanitary condition, and to keep
them so, will secure almost perfect immu-
nifty from fever scourges, under what
ever distinctive name the malady may be
known. Cities and towns which neglect
the now well-known means of protect
ing themselves against diseases which
arise from want of proper attention to
sanitary conditions, urban and suburban,
may escape the dangers incident to such
carelessness for years; but some day the
fatal spark will come from some unfore-
seen source and the fires will burn fierce
ly, to the destruction of homes and fam
lies and business. Such misfortunes may
be set down as a visitation of Providence,
but God works through man, and pun
ishes him for neglecting to avail himself
of known means for preventing disaster
The states of Alabama, Mississippi and
Texas will in a day or two be under shot
gun quarantine Indeed, the shotgun as
a health guard has already made its ap-
pearance in a number of places, and it is
possible that that dreadful and barbarous
way of checking the spread, or lessening
the dread, of the fevers may extend pref
ty well over the southern section, and bust
ness, which is just beginning to recover
from years of depression, may be held
up, even if there should be no spread of
the fevers. And all of this is because a
little town on the Gulf coast of Missis-
sippi failed to give proper attention to
the safeguards against disease!
