JOFowHEELER UP A TREE.


 The phrase, "As it looks to a man up a tree," may be literally applied to General Joseph Wheelers official report on the Santiago fortifications. That redoubtable fighter is reported from the front as hay ing climbed tree to examine the Spanish defenses, because his view from the ground was obstructed by intervening tropical foli- age. This resort is characteristic of the man whose intense activity Is almost be- yond belief in man of his age and who always prefers doing a thing himself to troubling anyone to do it for him.
 It is related that upon one occasion a member of congress, looking at General Wheeler moving about near his seat in the house, remarked to Speaker Reed that Wheeler was about the only one of the dis tfnguished confederate generals living, to which Reed replied: "Yes he never stays still in on place long enough for the AL mighty to put his finger on him." The big man from Maine had observed well the en- ergy of the little soldier, who differs from Carlyle's description of Napoleon as "a little fellow of feet 2 inches with banged hair," in not having his hair banged.
 But how does the situation at Santiago 
 says the Spaniards have splendid positions, strong intrenchments and that if they fight hard it will be no easy matter to dslodge them. He estimates their number to be above 10000. Yet General Wheeler is pre- pared to lead the left wing of the army of invasion in assault upon the Spanish columns at any moment. It was his com mand that met the enemy at La Quasina and in spite of tremendous disadvantages put him to rout after inflicting heavy dam age upon him. With his experience in real warfare he fully appreciates the strength of the foes position and his fight ing character He does not believe the Spaniard will fight hard, but he knows Spaniard can do what an American can not, run one day and fight with his custom ary spirit the next. To the 'man up a tree'' the battle of Santiago is not holiday excursion, but he is absolutely sure of American victory.

SOCIAL REALM

battleshig Kentucky.- was maELed A few days ago June 30. at Lexington. Ky. at the home of her sister. Mrs. H. b. Innes, to MT. James Tandy Ellis, the Kentucky poet, who espoused Miss Riehardson's cause at the time of the unseemly contention
 Dean Lewis, of Christ Episcopal Cathe- dral performed the marriage ceremony.
 The wedding was very quiet affair, and was attended by only the intimate friends and near relatives of the young couple.
 MT. and Mrs. Ellis are spending their honeymoon at Estill Springs, Ky, and la- ter will go to Louisville to reside.
 There Is pretty little romance connect ed with this Kentucky marriage which nat urally appeals to that sentimental side of ones nature which always survives, even amid the utilitarian duties of life. Miss Richardson has been for several years a conspicuous social figure in Kentucky, be- ing greatly admired by men and s-omen alike, and MT. Ellis is a poet of acknowl- edged ability. These two young people had been lovers for years, ever since their carly school days, but of late they lbad become estrangQd.
 When the excitement incident to the christening episode caused Miss Richard son to be criticised harshly in some quar- ters, MT Ellis came D romptly to her de- fense through some of the daily journals and so warmly and generously espoused her cause that Miss Richardson's heart melted towards him, the breach was healed the engagement renewed, and on the 30th ult. the romance eliminated in a happy quiet marriage at Lexington, Ky.

Good Advice to TraveIinu Women.

A very sensible woman, who has evil dently taken many trip herself to vari- ous summer resorts, gives the following excellent advice to women contemplating sojourns at the seacoast, mountains or springs: She says: At this season of the year, when the annual rest seems to be the one thought teeming in every brain, 1t may not come amiss to say a few words to those women who are slavng themselves to skin and bone in order to have lot of modish clothes to display at watering place mountain resort. No woman ever yet lived who was quite ready to go away at moments notice. Her wardrobe may be as extensive that of the queen of Sheba, but at the very intina- ton of an hegira she has to begin a cam paign of shopping for the must haves.' which she declares she could not possibly do without.
 "Then she worries in hot stores over the choice of veils, selection of handker chiefs, matching of ribbons until she Is cross and woe-begone, and wishes in her heart vacation had never been suggested. If her wardrobe is not so well supplied she begins a siege of sewing. forgets to eat her monday meals, and with haggard face stitches away far into the night on her own or her children's clothes, and final ly, when nineteen tucks have been put in by hand, when three by the machine would have done as well, and thirteen shirt waists are made, instead of haf dozen bought, she is in a state bordering on a collapse, and unless she can stay away six months she is not Fable to come home one whit better by the very outing which should have been her tonic for year. What is the use, for the sake of something that really does not count in the actual sum total of life, of losing the good that nature holds out to you in piney woods and shell-strewn beach? Who will count the tucks? Who will care if you wear the same shirt waist on Friday that you did on Monday? You are almost sure to have less striking wardrobe than somebody else, try as you will. and surely with a worn out body and lne-ridden face. the prettiest frocks will seem incongruous, and their beauty will escape notice in the remark that a pallid countenance will ere ate. If you have an opportunity take 1t as the term implies. Leave care behind, in- stead of plunging into it at the first sug- gestion of rest Wear what you have, or supply yourself leisurely with actual ne- cessities and then the summer going away will mean pleasure instead of the trial so many women make it. through their own foolish vanity and their fear of the worlds opinion"

Wexler as a Business Man

From the New York Mall and Express.
 Weyler may be a bad soldier but he is very talented business man. He, through his agents, in the past two years, bought Il OO0 mules from the United States and Mexico at about $30 apiece, and then sold them through other agents to himself as representing the Spanish government at $12S apiece, making clear profit of $9S a mule. With all allowance for transporta- ton and feed, insurance and labor bills, all of which were probably paid by the poor government, the clear profit must have been $500 900. Equally shrewd was his cattle sym dicate. The cattle concession was given to a concern of which he is said to have been the chief partner. They bought cattle, both live and refrigerated, at cents per pound. The consumption in that city is over 1O0 900 pounds per day, the profit over $10,000 and in 600 days the total profit would be about $6,00O00). He is also said to have had a large interest in the tobacco monop- oly, the flour trade, the potato business, the wholesale cabbage industry the bottled beer commerce and the milk routes of Ha- vana. It is no wonder, therefore, that the people of Manila say he sent home $6 900 900 and the people of Havana that he transmit- ted sSO00. 900. Of course, this was not all for himself He has many poor friends in the corteS.

 Miss Sue Johnstone, of Knoxville. Tenn, has been appointed sponsor for Tennes- see at the Atlanta reunion. The Atlanta Constitution in speaking of her says:
 General Vaughn, commander of United Confederate veterans of Tennessee, com plimented the Knoxville chapter of the Daughters of the confederacy by asking them to appoint the sponsor from Tennes- see. Their choice has fallen upon Miss Sue Johnstone, of Knoxville. Her father was distinguished for his gailantry in the war and this choice depending largely on his record emphasizes the regard which Is shown the private soldier of the confed- crate states of America. Of Miss John- stone herself 1t Is said, besides al lthat wealth and culture can give girl, she is in appearance young goddess, and a very notable goddess at that.

What Women Are
 AccompIishinQ As Miniaturists

Perhaps in no line of art have women ac- complished such distinct and positive suc- cess as in that of miniature painting. With out considering the triumphs of Miss Anna lie Kussners genius as a miniature artist it is surprising to discover upon investiga- tion how largely that especial field of art is filled with women workers.
 Chicago has a new miniaturist in Miss Matilda Middleton, who has just returned from Paris, where she studied under Mad anne Hortense Richard, teacher of much prominence. Miss Middleton only uses ivory upon which to paint her miniatures and has already had a number of orders from wealthy men and women of the west.
 In the south-this particular part of the south-there are several gifted women who are taking rank among the successful min iature painters of this country.
 Mrs. W. s. Lowell, who is still regarded as belonging to Birmingham, although she has resided in Georgia for the past year or two, has become quite famous, and de- servedly so, as miniaturist of exquisite skill and taste. While in Atlanta during the past. winter and spring 1t was almost impossible for her to fill the orders given her, so popular had her work become among cultivated and critical people. Mrs Lowell has devoted her artistic talents for some time entirely to miniature painting, and she is achieving a great and merlted reputation for herself in the art world. There is a probability that Mir and Mrs. Lowell wiH return in the autumn to Bir- mingham to permanently reside. In that event they will certainly receive very cordial welcome home again from hundreds of friends.
 Miss Alice Duncan, of Montgomery, Is young Alabama woman whose talent for miniature painting is beginning to be rec ognfzed by the public at large. Miss Dun- can, during a recent residence at New York. perfected herself in this especial Branch of portraiture, and she has painted Ia number of miniatures-upon ivory-whieh have elicited the enthusiastic admirat n of art critics.
 ; Miss Duncan is a sister of Mrs. J b. Cunningham, of Birmingham. and is ire ouently her guest. She will spend the re- mainder of the summer in the north, re- turning to Montgomery in the autumn
