EVANSVILLE, VA, July 23.-Hot or
cold. the fun goes on rejoicingly at
Crockett. During the cold weather OF
the preceding week we sat by blazing
pine knots, and music recitations, and
readings enlivened the indoor life. One
night we held dark seance," and with
flights burning low" and only a dim
blaze from the dying fire playing over
faces whitened by that thrill of fasci-
mating fear which holds and ''creeps" over
the lovers of the supernatural. we told
ghost stories"
The most enjoyable feature at Crock
EFT is the music, furnished us in abun-
dant flow by Mrs. Meadowes, OF Roanoke
She is a true artistic. l shall never forget
the enhancing strains of this accom-
plished pianiste. whose willingness 10
entertain is only equalled by the skill OF
her execution.
Our numbers are so greatly increased
that the hotel Is crowded TO its fullest
capacity. The late arrivals add much to
the gayety Of the nightly dance in the
ballroom, the bowling-parties at the ten

Wants the Chain broken.

Miss Schenck, who, py the way, IL n
granddaughter of the late Rev. Dr. Noah
Hunt Schenck, the we'll -known rector OF
st. AIMS, makes an earnest appeal from
the home of her maternal grandfather,
Matthew Morgan in Babylon. where she
is visiting. TO break that "endess chain"
AS has been already written, 1t has been
plague and torment upon everybody
connected With it. Miss Schenck. who
started IL In entire good faith to aid the
EGGPLANT auxiliary OF the Red Cross, had
no idea OF its subtle qualifications for
good and H. The endless chain Is like
what was said long ago OF self-righteous-
ness-the more a man has OF 1t the worse
he Is OFF. To begin with, II the scheme
were carried out TO it's maximum of 100,
the cash In Miss Schenck's possession
would be sufficient 10 pay the cost of tho
war between the States. the war with
Spain, and several hundred other wars.
Absurd? Figure a little on IL and see.
Miss Schenck has been insulted by mail
as a swindler and cheat. she has been
threatened with prosecution, she has re-
ceiveG praise, she has received an occa-
sion dollar where only dime was ex-
pected, she has been loaded down with
postage stamps. she has been besieged
with letters asking her FOR further par
ticulars, and her mail has filed barrels.
The chain before her appeal 10 break II
had got into circulation, had already got
a great start, and had been repeatedly
broken but Il has as many lives as a cat.
Break II in one place and up II starts IN
another. 1t can be killed with prodigious
patience but II dies hard.
Babylon had three hundred letters day
on an average when Miss Schnecks re-
turns began 10 come I'm. Then the post
master was astonished 10 see II suddenly
leap up 10 a fve-hundred average, then
q thousand, and finally several thousand.
Very soon, indeed, a link OF the chain
was here and there broken, not because
of any lack OF sympathy for the patriotic
cause, but because sometimes OF a belief
that II was an absolutely wrong way 10
get money, and because In many other
cases Mrs. Schneck. a stranger TO the
world In general was suspected OF being |
a swndler. The practical minds Of
many who received the letters ut once |
condemned the waste OF money involved |
In landing a ten-sent piece in Babylon |

age. to say nothing OF time or stationery. |
Next 10 Miss Schneck and those Init
mate friends and relatives who have as
sisted her, the postmaster has suffered |
most, with inadequate help and the want \
)f an amanuensis 10 answer his letters.
A reporter who called on Miss Schneck |
On Saturday learned that she had re-
,eived and counted over 1900. There
was an old soap-box full OF coin get TO DC
and there were hundreds OF let
,ers yet TO open. with others stll coming. |
Miss Schneck will long remember her ex-
)erience with the endless chain.
