ANDERsoNvnLE's PRISON PARK.
The Changes Time Have Wrought in
the Old War Prison.

A pamphlet, descriptive of the Ander-
sonville Prison Park and giving the his
tory Of Its purchase and improvement, has
just been issued by the advisory board, of
which James P. Averill is chairman. 1t
shows the progress of the work of i'm

the grounds.

teries, the Andersonville cemetery is well
kept each grave being marked with a
marble tablet The cemetery proper con-
tains about twenty-five acres.
The site of the Andersonville prison was
visited by thousands of the survivors after
the war, many of whom had spent some of
the most trying days of their lives in that
ever-to-be-forgotten spot, and the wish
was generally expressed that the ground
which had been Esllowed by so much suf-
fering should be secured by the survivors
aud preserved as a lasting memorial to
those who had suffered there.
Active steps were not taken 20 this end
until the matter was brought prominently
40 the attention OF the department of Geor-
gla Grand Army of the Republic by the
Macon post In January, 1880, when COM

THE YOUNG KING OF NEPAL.
sumshere Jung Is the Little Mon
Rrch's Name,

Rrch's Name.
Sumshere Jung is the name of the young
King of Nepal. one OF the strangest gov
ernments and countries in the world. 1t
lies between Thibet and Incla, and con-
talns the highest mountains of the oftiest
of the earths ranges, the Himalayas.
This little King has a hundred thousand
of the best warriors in the continent of
Asia at his back, and 1t is therefore easy
for him to command the respect OF all
the neighboring tribes and governments.
Even the English remain on friendly terms
with him and hire some of his soldiers to
help them conquer the Hindus. The people
of Nepal are a strange mixture of races.
The ruling tribes are the Ghoorkhas,
whose prowress has given them the SUI
premacy. They are of Aryan stock,
whittier than the Hindus, and despse all
arts save that of war. The religion of
the different tribes varies between Budd-
hism and Brahmanism but not much of
what we would call civilization is to be
found there. The capital ,city is Kath-
mandu, where the Rajah or king lives in
a queer palace made up of large num-
Der of small pagodas surrounded by
| shrines erected TO the Hindu gods. These
! are often smeared with the blood of the
| sacrifices brought to the gods, giving a
most savage appearance to the palace
environs.
OF course, this rajah is too young now to
| do the actual ruling, which is in the
| hands of his chief minister, but the power
| of the ruler is absolute and he can order
life or death for any one who displeases
him. The people are so afraid of foreign
| influences that they viii not permit Euro
peans 10 even enter their dominions
so it has been impossible TO survey the
| country and ascertain the hight of the
mountains which tower thousands of feet
in air. The Chepangs, one of the tribes, live
| in a savage state in huts made of branches
and eat wild fruits or the animals that
! they hunt Another tribe, the Mechs is
famous for its beautiful women, who are
in such great demand that their parents
are enriched by the prices paid for them
| For wives are openly bought by the high
est bidder. The Tibetan Lamas have made
many converts i'm Nepal and have a great
! Buddhist temple three miles from the city
| Sumshere Jung is king over many thou
sands of human beings, but any littSe
| American boy VIII have much more that
| is worth living for than he.

scrintion. and constructed in as substantial
and elaborate manner, and of as beau
tiful a design as possible. 1t Is now pro-
tected by a temporary wooden oulldlnS,
which is anything but ornamental. 1t Is
understood that the National Prisoners of
War Association intend making liberal
appropriation for this purpose
The total number of buried in the ceme-
terry as far as known is 1910 According 10
an investigation made by George G. Rus
sell. the hospital records show that IT,
S73 patients were registered, and that 1923
of these were exchanged and about TWEEN
ty-fve took the oath of allegiance to the
confederacy, leaving 17,025 to be accounted
for giving a mortality of 76 per cent of
those who entered the hospital. Besides
the registered dead, several were killed
while attempting TO escape. An unknown
number also persisted by the falling in OF
excavations which they had built for shell
ter, and the bones of many of these sill
remain buried within the stockade, where
they died Besides those now resting in
the cemetery, several hundred were re-
moved by their friends, after the close of
the war, to other cemeteries, The greater
number of deaths occurred within the
stockade at the time of the crowded con-
dition during the summer of 1854 when the
prisoners numbered from $4,000 to 5000.
The small railroad station Of Anderson
Vile is about one-half mile west of the
stockade, the intermediate space being
traversed by the line of Macon and Stump
ter counties, the stockade being in Macon
county and the village In Sumter. Near
the railroad station was located Gen.
Wlnders headquarters and barracks and
storehouses for the Confederate troops.
Along the line of the creek were located
stables and outbulldings from which the
waters of the creek were greatly contain
mated before entering the stockade On
the margin of the creek, near the stock
ade, were also located the bakery and
cook house. A short distance to the west
of Star Fort still stands a large hck-
DRY tree, which was used as q post Of OBJ
servation to watch the prisoners within
the stockade. The hospital was located
a few rods south of the stockade. The
plot of ground now the national Gene
terry, where the dead prisoners were buried
lies about one-quarter Of mile north of
the old stockade.

work done by such great African explor'
ers as Mungo Park Moffat, Burton, Liv"
lngstone Stanley and others. Summing
up, he said that Africa is still the Dark
Continent in many respects. There are
more than 200 different tribes and as many
languages or dialects. Vrey little Is known
of these tribes and their languages, except
by scientists, with the exception of what
is known of those living near the coast.
Speaking of some of the tribes he mem
toned the Mandingoes, who are, perhaps,
the best specimens of African manhood.
They are a tall, wirey people, often reach
ing seven feet in hight. They know no
cowardice, have a written language and
show great natural genius and ability. He
gave several incidents which came under
his observation, Illustrating the Mandin-
COS genius. One was their knowledge ana
practice of deodorizing decayed meats. He
said there are no buzzards among the Man"
dingoes. The dead animals, no matter
how purified, are taken by these people
and treated in such a way as to lose aIt
of its offensive smell. IL is put under the
ground and at the end of twenty-four
hours is taken out and is perfectly palat'
able.

LULL IN THE SITUATION.
General Impression That Goebe1
Will Soon Make a Move.

FRANKFORT (ky), Nov. 26. = A
quiet Sunday brought a lull IN the po-
litical situation to all outward appear
ances. There were no significant de-
velopments from Goebel headquarters,
though Goebel and his managers re-
manned in conference during the day.
There is a general impression outside
that some move is TO be made by Goe-
bel early this week, and it is generally
supposed that a mandatory injunction
suit to prevent the State Election
Board from counting the vote OF JEFF
ferson, Knox and Johnson Counties will
be part of it, though this is not con-
firmed by anyone in authority.
1t is doubtful if Governor Bradley
would recognize Goebel as Governor il
he were given a certificate of election
by the State Election Board, unless
their action was in obedience TO a rul-
ing of the court. In that event it is
believed he would resist no further, but
would advise Taylor to contes: before
the Legislature. Neither Bradley, Tay-
lor, nor any of the Republican leaders.
however, believe that the Court of APP
peals, in the face of it's decision in the
Nelson County case yesterday, Will
grant an injunction, ami are to-day
more confident than ever that the State
Election Board will give Tavlor Ger
tificate of election. In Tay lor circles it
is claimed that two of the three State
mmissioners, Els and Pryor, are
sure to vote to stand by the vote IN
every county as it appears on the face
of the returns.
