washington Irving's Love Story.

Washington Irving always remained
single because Matilda Hoffman, the
beautiful girl to whom he was engaged
died of consumption in her seventeenth
year, He says: Il was by her when
she died. and was the last she ever
looked upon" He took her Bible and
prayerbook away With him. sleeping
with them under his pillow, and In all
his subsequent travels they were his
lnseparable companions. Not until
thirty years after her death did any
one venture to speak Of her to him. He
was visiting her father. and one Of her
nleces, taking some music from a draw
er, brought with 1t a piece of embroid-
cry. washington, said Mr.. Hoffman,
'this was from Matildas work" The
effect was electric. He had been talk
Ing gally the moment before, but be-
came silent and soon left the house.

Meissonier and the Rich Man.

One of the good stories about the ia
nous painter, Meissonier, is in regard
to his experience with a new rich"
gentleman who had erected a private
theater at his chateau. Meissonier was
just then at the height Of his fame,
and when spending months painting
pictures and selling them for about
two hundred dollars a square inch. The
rich man conceived the brilliant idea
that what mis- theater most needed was
a drop curtain painted by the famous
Meissonier. So he went to the artists
studio and proposed the matter to him.
How large is the curtain to be?" asked
the great painter. "It will be thirty
feet high and thlrty-flve feet wide,"
was the reply. "Ms friend" said Meis-
sonier, blandly, ''lt viii take me twenty
years to paint such curtain, and il
will cost you six million dollars" This.
bargain was not completed.

soERs MAKE ANOTHER HAUL.
Captured a British Company and Two Guns,
Killing An Officer.

London, Sept. 23.--Lord Kitchener
reports that the Beers have captured
company of mounted infantry and
two guns, at vlakfontein. One officer
was killed. The Beers, in superior
forces, surrounded the British. Lord
Kitchener is making a strict investi-
cation. and has sent columns Of
troops in pursuit of the Beers.
The Gazette announces that on the
disbandment of Lord Strathcona's Can
adian corps, 20 officers have been
granted honorary rank in the British
army, corresponding with their pres
ent rank. The list commences with
the name Of Colonel Stole (the conn
mander of Strathcona's horse in South
Africa). who becomes an honorary
lieutenantcolonel in the regular army.
London, Sept. 23.-The succession of
''regrettable incidents" which Lord
Kitchener has reported has evoked
editorial counsels to the government to
cease to endeavor to wage war by
proclamation and to recognize the
need of crushing the Beers by force
Of arms. No news has as yet been
received that the Beers have liberated
the prisoners recently captured, and,
according to Boer circles in Brussels,
Commandant-Gener Botha intends to
hold the 150 British prisoners as hos
tages against the carrying out of the
terms of Lord Kitchener's proclama-
tiou.

SENSIBLE ADVERTISING.

The merchants of hustling Georgia
city have demonstrated to their entire
satisfaction that the only profitable ad
vertrsing is IN newspapers that are GER
tain to be read in the family, and have
agreed to cease fooling their money
away on novel methods that are sprung
upon them by professional travellers.
It is-as The Times-Recorder has many
times incidentally remarked-the wise
course to pursue and as several of our
merchants have found out. It has
many times happened that good talker
has struck this city and got away with
anywhere from 800 to $500 in less
than two weeks, and those from whom
he obtained it were not protted a
penny. It was so much money that
should have gone for the support Of
the local newspaper and which would
have brough good returns. Merchants
of experience no longer question the
utility of keeping their names and bus
mess before the public in publications
to go directly into the home circle.
Placards on fences and trees; cards on
1,rIIo4,r t,oor5S calendars in hotel
washrooms and a hundred and one
other methods count for nothing. Only
last winter a vote was taken in thea
ter in New York on question, 'Where
did you see the advertisement of this
performance" and some more than
900 answered in the newspapers and
less than 200 elsewhere. This tells the
story.

reason For the Delay.

WAsH1SGToN, Aug. 9.-The state de-
partment makes public the following:
A cablegram received from Mr.. Rock.
hill reports that the delay in signing
the final protocol of agreement between
the mowers and China is due to objec.
tions raised by Great Britain against
the international commission for the re-
vision of the tariff. The nature of the
British objections is not stated. It also
appears that the British government
asks the consideration of some clauses
as TO which no agreement has hereto
fore been reached, owing to the opposi.
ton of several powers.

CERTAIN SIGNS OF PROSPERITY

There is no better sign OF the states
prosperity, the Savannah News thinks,
than the increase in the amount of pro-
perty returned for taxation. Just what
the increase will be this year for the
entire state cannot now be stated with
any degree of accuracy, but the indi-
cations are that the amount will not be
far from $50, 900, 900.
And the News pursues this interest
ing theme as follows:
"There appears to be considerable
rivalry between the different counties
in respect to the increase in the re-
turns. The counties which have par
ticularly large increases are anxious to
have them published. 1t is but ma
tural that they should. A big increase
in tax returns is a good advertise
ment for any county 1t shows that the
county ia on the up grade, that it is in
creasing in wealth and population.
''Home seekers are apt to seek out
such q county. They are almost GER
tain to find it inhabited by liberal
minded and progressive people, who
favor schools, churches and good roads.
'tIt is worthy of notice that there has
been an increase in the property re-
turns this year from nearly every
county in the state.
'Tn some the increase has been no.
ticeably large. If the price of Gotten
is good during the coming season
still further increase in assessments
for taxation may be expected next year
Much depends upon the prices of the
crops. If prices are good and crops
are fair the people are prosperous.
when the price of cotton dropped to
s cents pound few years ago there
was great falling OF in the amount
of property returned fer taxation.
The reduction IN the states income
was so great that it was with difficulty
that its obligations could be met.
''But even with increased assess
ments the state will find some difficult
ty in paying all the legitimate demands
ON it. This is largely owing to the very |
large increase in the pension charge, |
which now reaches pretty nearly $780,
600. The fact, however, that the state
10 prosperous, and is steadily increas-
Ing in wealth and population is
source OF pride to every Georgian.

A CANDIDATE MUST HUSTLE.

to get into the push and hustle for Of
fee. Very few such prizes as the gov
ernorship of Georgia are handed to a
