Miss Caroline Lewis Gordon Will Give
Recital January 25th.

A few days ago writer in popular
daily paper called attention to the fact
that Southern women were not only
forming a new school in literature, but
we're almost monopolizing it. The
writer then went on to show that with>
in the last decade, the majority Of l.t-
erary successes achieved by American
women have been won by Southerners.
BeforeS the war, it is thought the
Southern woman "toiled not, neither
did spin;" but now she can be found
in almost every sphere and calling,
dignifylDg it by her natural grace, and
winning distinction by force of charao-
ter and intellect. A most notable ex-
ample of this has recently appeared in
the person OF Miss Caroline Lewis
Gordon, daush hter of the distinguished
and horored hero of the Confederacy,
Cen. John B. Gordon.
Miss Gordon mapped out career for
herself, and is pursuing it with marked
ability and success. AS delineator
Of negro character and plantation life.
she ia making a distinct hit. The
South has been ably represented In
this field of literature by Ruth Nc
Enery Stewart and Thomas Nelson
Page. These masters of negro dialect
have heard the sketches and songs
given by Miss Gordon In her recitals,
and have urged her to have them pub.
lished.
No djabt the social and literary part
of Brunswick will be delighted tc
kuow that they will have an f.arly op.
portuDity to bear Miss Gordon. She
will give one of her popular recirals al
the opera house. Friday evening, Jan.

The British Army Seems To Be Wasting Away---
Home People Know Nothing of
Their Doings

the troops at he front are becoming
stale aud dlscontented, the general ex-
asperation at home is becoming more
acute, and tbs public IS becoming
quite skeptical OF the competency of
the government at to get the country out
of the wretched tangle.
Seldom has there been suoh uni
versal denuuciatiOn of the utterancss
of q public man as greeted the recent
address of the Dake of Norfolk to the
pope, ex expressing the hope OF the res
toration of the temporal independence
of the plaintiff. Bitter as has been the
denuncistion the Italian press, the
com ments of lhs london newspapers
have been quite as caustic.
Nothing could be more contempt
BILE than the Duke of Norfolk's behsv-
lor," says The Daily News, "If the
italian government had known he was
visiting Rome for the purpose Of pro-
ts sting against their presence IN their
own capital, they would have been
perfectly justified in stopping him
the frontier. Not content with insult
I'M the king of Italy and the people Of
Rome, his despicabie remarks also con-
demned the tOleration of Italian pro-
testants by the italian government.
1t would be difficult for an English
Cathlc to sink lower"
Movements at York House, Twicken-

OF the Duke Of Orleans to return to

appeared in Paris comic papers. The

In the hope of patching up the matter
Columns OF stories have bsen prin ted
mostly apocryphal, as can be Judged
from a sample from TIE Daily Chroni>
Gle, as follows:
"Mr. Armour usually took SIX wesks
each year for driving iu a coach
through England. 1t costs me- the
writer quotes him as saying, a frac-
tion under 60 day per head for my
/ sell and guests for coach hire. 7"
The writer adds that Mr.. Armour
was careful, but not a mean, man ,
and this low estimate OF the
cost of coaching was due to the
fact that Mr.. Armour and the guests he
was likely to invite, drank water at
their meals.
The memorial to be used as an insti>
tnte by the Gordon Highlanders at
Aberdeen, which Mrs. Forges-Leitb,
formerly Of New York, intends, at a
cost Of $4,000, to erect in memory of
her son, Lieut.. Percy F. Forbes Leitb,
Of the First lRoyaD Dragons, who
died o. fever recently at Newcastle,
Natal, recalls the fact that Fyvie Cas-
tie (Mrs. Forbes Leiths residonce) is
one Of the many mysterious in Scot
land said to have a curse which inva-
riably falls oD the eldest son of the
house. For many generations the
property has failed to descend in d.
reot line, and when Duff Gordon sold
Fyvie Castle to Mr.. Forbes -Leitb, it
/, fas argued that the curse could not be
transferred to another family. But the
dea, h of the young subaltern at the age
OF 20, has revived the superstitiOns Of
all Aberdeenshire. Mrs. For bas- Lett h
was forme erly Mis- January. of ST.,

ubjeot for discussion was "Resolved
that tbs world has made more progress
from 1900 to 1900 than will be made
from 1900 to 20O0." Many wise little
heads did their best in defending their
sldes and when the judges announced
their decision in favor of the negative,
there was a perceptlbls fall in the
countenances of the bright little ladies
who defended the affirmative.
Tbe recitations by Misses Nellis
GreenIea, Nellie kenner and Eyla
Dart were much enjoyed.
Instrumental selections by Misses
Lea h Johnson and Irma Simpson were
heard with iuterf st By those present,

aEed.
