CIeo's Thrifty Mother.

The parsimony Of foreign celeb
rites who come to this country
has been frequently amusing to
Americans, says the New York
Sun. There have been some very
striking instances of it in recent
years, but the mother Of Mile. Cleo
de Merode seems to have carried
of the palm in this respect. Sal
vini, it is said, was SO penurious
that he bought sandwich on the
street for FIVE cents rather thanpay
for his supper a hotel; and one
of the stories tod about him on
his last visit TO this country was
that once in Philadelphia he gave
the porter OF a hotel a peLuY and
told him to buy him three tacks.
The actor had discovered that
his trunk was damaged, and he
wanted to repair it himself.
Tamaqua was notorious here for
his stinglness. It was said that he
sold the tickets sent to him in view
OF his artists privilege, and hired
his own brother as valet because
he could be got at cheap figure
Then he used to make him roll his
trunks around on a truck at the
foreign custom houses rather than
pay the porters a fee for the work.
1t may have been nothing more
than good business judgment that
prompted Mile. Calve to look for a
business manager while she was
here and then express the greatest
astonIshment that such an assist
ant OF the most capable kind could
not be hired for $Io a week.
These are some OF the stories
told about the highly paid foreign
ers VINO come TO exhibit them
selves here. But Cleo's mother
holds the record. 1t is said
that she astonished the SER
wants at the Imperial hotel by
washing her daughters clothes in
the bathtub and ironing them her
self. On Tuesday, the day before
they returned to Europe, the bal
lerina and her mother were seen on
lower Broadway. They had gone
down to one Of the exchange Off
ces in order to get SIoo in French
money. It was raining. An ac-
Quaintance met tie two just as they
were coming out Of the Office.
why, that " etch inside" ex.
claimed the mother, Indignantly
wants to give me only sI7 franc:
Tor $780," Their Nine. la Mere
de Cleo de Merod put up her um'
brella with a Nigh Y emphasis anc
stepped out onto the sidewalk
"Why, a man oaerrd me 5I8 up
town. But thought l could ge
$40 down here. Now, we shall
have TO walk uptown, for, other
wise, there will be NO profit left foi
u.s." Then Cleo anC her mothei
started to trudge uptown. Th'
dancer received S9,oot Tor her ap
pearances in New York.

Aeslxs colo Ml The south.

active COLD Nm the south.
There is more a. kity in South
ern gold prcpertieN Nthan has been
known since the Nhys ot the first
discoveries. Development work
has been pushed Al over the field
for six months, ekd many a prop
erty has been sK kwn up in splen-
did shape. GeoGia, North Caro-
lima and Alabata have been the
scenes OF the gfeatest activity, al
though SouthTCarolina and VIr
ginia have noH been neglected by
any means.
Rich ore has been struck in
Lumpkin, (White, Gilmer and
Cherokee. New mills have been
put up in skeral counties. Nego-
tiations e on tor a number of
mines ovI7 the State. Some are
preparing for incorporation, and
there is evidence of investment in
good properties by home people,
although the Northern and VEST
ern capitalists are showing more
money.
The old mines are being re-
opened in White, and one new
property is being opened up. The
McCluskey, N Hall, has new mill
with ten stamps. A FIVE stamp mill
is about to be put on the Big Job
in the same county. A cyanide
plant has been put in at the Merks,
and development is going ahead
steadily on the Gold Hill mine in
the same county. p. tunnel is being
driven on this property to cut the
strike all the way aci oss. One four
foot vein was cut within thirty feet
Of the mouth Of the tunnel, and in
sixty days more the tunnel should
cut the veins encountered in the
shaft 100 feet above.
The Skies and the Cherokee, in
Cherokee County, have produced
very rich ore recently, and deal
is on for another well known mine
up there. Over at the Creighton,
Mr.. Thies is turning out bullion in
paying quantities every month,
and this mine continues to stand
at the head of the list among Geor-
gia gold mines.
The real truth about mining in
the South is now generally recog-
nized, and that is that there is no
money to be made on simple
stamp mill proposition except in
isolated cases. Every mill should
save its tailings. The money is in
the concentrates, and the mine
which does not save anything ex-
cept what it catches on its plates
is losing from three to seven dol
lars for every one it makes.
The last summer has been a
more serious effort to prove that
Georgia GOLD bearing veins run
deeper than was ever known be-
tore. All the work that has been
done judiciously on this line has
been rewarded with success. 1t
may take six or twelve months
more to demonstrate it to the en-.
tire satisfaction OF everybody, but
it will be shown up beyond any
question. Then Georgia will have
some large producers and profit
able mines.-AHaNta Constitution.

WHITE IlvERED.
Hot Springs NeRs.I

Yesterday as southern lady, the Wife Of a prominent physician and ex-Confederate soldier, was passing the Plateau hotel she heard a man standing with several others use words to about this effect: Well. if we have war with Spain I'd like to see all these d-d old ex-rebeis ham, strung so they couldn't run, and then put in front of the regular troops" With cheeks burning with indignation she paused for a mo- ment and gave him a glance which he certainly could not have misinter- preted and pas sed on. Had her hus- band been in her stead this blatant white livered defamer of bravery as fine as the world ever saw, would have instantly had an opportunity to test 1t on the spot. We don't know who he is, but we know gen. tility is to him stranger. We don't know whence he comes, but we know he is either low born or has disgraced his paternity. We don't know what record of valor may be the heritage of his ancestors, but we know that not one drop of chivalric blood courses through his veins. The words accredited to him could fall only from the lips of a coward. We know not that he was not Union soldier and that he nev- CT faced any of the brave men he now refers to as "ex-rebels" No ex-Union soldier worthy of the hon- ored name of soldier, and who meas- ured swords with the men of the South in the '60s is now capable of the sordid calumny which stamps this clustering blatherskite as a ren- egade back-biter. His slimy islander would meet SIS ready resentment from every brave Union soldier as the boys who wore the grey. The News hopes this snapshot of his true likeness may fall under his gaze, and then it would advise him to pack his soul in the skull of a louse and skuik out of town and from the presence of decent people.

Chief Reed Holds Them Responsible
for Sundry Huuk0 TrirLs


One saloon man Is in the city Jail charged
with grand larceny and others will follow
him IL there il not decided !et-up in the
number of bunko tricks turned in GER
tan saloons.
Chief Of Police Reed Is preparing to
knock out thres licenses. and says that no
VIII 60 farther II the necessity requires.
c. l.. Cole. OF the ST. Charles saloon,
Is the one who Is now In jail. and his ar
rest yesterday afternoon was caused by
a report To Chef Reed of bunko trick
In which Louis Roster lost $2so. Roster
claimed that Cole held him while the two
bunko men escaped.
Cole denies Rosters story and says that
he had nothing to do with the case in any
way or manner.
According to Rosters story 10 the chief.
he met a man who "sseered'' him to the
st. Charles saloon. There they met an
other man, and pretty soon dice game
was in progress Rosters friend wanted
him TO take part. but he declined. Finally,
however, he did try his luck and won.
Then they asked how much money ne
had and finally hantered him into show
ing 500. Before he knew what had hap
pened one OF the men grabbed IL and
passed II to the other. Roster demanded
his money back and went at the man who
had II. A gcod-sizsd row was in sight.
when, according 70 Rosters story. Cole
bling him by the arms held him until
the bunko men had disappeared
After the trouble was over Roster went
TO poiice headquarters and made a COM
pia,nt. Chief Reed detailed Detective Cud-
Thee on the case and later in the afternoon
Cole was arrested on a warran. charging
him with grand larceny.
