From the Philadelphia Record.
Mrs. ZEBRA Bryn OF North Twenty'irst street,
two years ago, while travelling through Southern
Italy. lost a lsaIaer satcbel. There was quite a
sum of money and some valuable papers in the
satchel, but what worried her most was the loss
OF her engagement ring, which was of very
quaint design. having been the marriage token
in the family OF her iance for several genera
lions. or course, every endeavor was made to
recover the lost article: Advertisements were
inserted In all tho principal papers OF the prov
ince, and, although most strenuous enorts were
made, nothing was ever heard Of the satchel.,
A few days ago. while visiting a friend In
West Philadelphia, q street piano wheeled up
before the porch on which they were seated, and,
after playing a few melodies. a young Italian
girl came up TO collect some money. Imagine
Mrs. Bryn's surprise TO recognize her long'lost
ring on the glrl's finger: Questioning the girl
in her native language brought forth the fact
that her family was from the district in which
the satchel had been lost. Her father had been

SEA ISLAND COTTON.
Resolutions Asking Congress For a
Duty ON Egyptian Cotton.

Gainesville. Feb. 1.-THE cotton grow
ers' and business mems convention Of Flor
ida met here yesterday morning. The
purpose of the convention was to ask
congress to place protective tariff on
Egyptian cotton.
The following resolutions were adopted:
Whereas, the sea island cotton planters
of Florida and the other southern states
are confronted with grave conditions high
ly discouraging to tho profitable produce
ton of long staple cotton In the future
owing 10 the large consumption OF Egyp-
tlan cotton by our mills the product OF
cheap serf labor and cheap transportation
and
Whereas. there is no prospect Of imme-
date and permanent relief for our farm
ers against this ruinous competitor eX-
cept In the imposition by congress OF A
tarif duty sufficiently high upon Egyp-
tian cotton TO drive II out OF competition,
between home labor and the cheap labor
OF Egyptian cotton 20 drive Il out or COM
petition or sufficiently high to cover the
difference between home labor and the
cheap labor OF Egypt as well as the differ
ence OF transportation rates to our mar
kets.
Whereas during the season OF 1866 the
south produced 80 592 bales, OF which only
40 $50 bales were consumed in our mills
while 53O62 bales were driven 20 foreign
markets by the influx Of 5000 bales OF
Egyptian cotton selling I'm our markets AT
III 20 10 cents And during the current
season Of 1862 Il IS estimated that Egypt
has furnished our mills with $4,000, and
The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1897-02-18

at such low prices that our 100000 bales
are selling at s to u cents; and
Whereas, if their competition in our
home markets continues the production of
long staple cotton in the south will cease
in the near future and Egypt can then
dictate her own prices to the consumers
and spinners of this class of cotton,
Therefore resolved, That it is the sense
of this meeting that congress should in
terpose and protect our people from the
disastrous consequences that will follow
the destruction of the long staple cotton
industry in the south by imposing a tariff
duty of not less than cents per pound
upon Egyptian cotton.
Resolved, That our representatives in
congress be requested to go before the
ways and means committee of congress
and urge the, imposition of the tariff duty
asked for and that they be further re-
quested TO support and vote for the same
when fixed in the tariff schedule.
Resolved further, That committee, to
be composed of as many members as the
chairman may direct. be appointed by this
meeting to visit Washington, cooperate
with our congressman, collect the statisti-
cal information and attend the meetings
of the ways and means committee at the
extra session of congress, soon to ASSEM-
BILE and urge the imposition of the tariff
duty sought upon Egyptian cotton"

The affeetonate and loving way i'm which
she would take her gray-haired father
face between her hands and kiss his fore
head and looking him in the face ask him
IL he would not take her back home was
pathetic indeed.
She would turn from father to uncle. beg
ging each in turn not to .eave her
Her fathers bosom could be seen to rise
and fail and more than once tears trickled
down his cheeks, and his lips would quiv-
er and he could not answer his daughter s
questions
The poor fathers heart was about TO
burst with grief at the parting that was
soon to come.
The asylum was reached. The girl beg
ged Or. Powell to let her return home.
Her father left the room and Or. Powell
called two of the female attendants and
told them TO carry her out.
She said they looked like angels and
were so pretty, but she couldn't go with
arm and tried to carry her out while she
was calling her uncle to help her Just a
little, and calling her father to see him
She had suicidal mania and tried to COM
init suicide twice, and jumped from the
train en- route here.
1t was a very pathetic scene, but one
that occurs often over this short line from
town TO the asylum.
