A Strange Case.

The State Department at Wash
ington has been appealed to in behalf
of Miss Josephine Eastwick, who is
in prison in England. having been con-
victed of a misdemeanor for getting
$4,000 on false pretenses. She was ar
rested for raising a Canadian stock GER
tificate from 100 to 1000 shares The
plea in her behalf is that she is of UNI
sound mind. Edward P. Eastwick
Jr., who asks department aid in his
sisters behalf is NE youngest member
of the family. The eldest child is
George Spencer Eastwick, New Or
leans manager of the Sugar Trust, who,
in 1894 married Miss May Celeste
Stauffer, a noted society belle, to
whom Samuel j. Tilden left 100000 in
his will.
Edward Eastwick's letter to Secre-
tary Hay tells the pathetic story of his
sisters affiiction with manly and con-
vincing directness. He brings out the
fact not hitherto known here, says
the New York World that the Eng
lish court before which Miss EastWick
was tried and convicted, refused to
act upon the charge of forgery, decid-
ing that the altering of the bond up
on which the prisoner had tried to ef-
feet large loan was done SO clumsily
that no one could possibly be deceived
by it. 1t was obviously the work OF
an irresponsible person. The charge
upon which Miss Eastwick was con-
victed was that of a misdemeanor in
borrowing $4,000 under false pretenses.
In his appeal young Mr.. Eastwick
explains the inability of the English
trial court to consider the plea of in.

RIGHr AND WRONG FARMING.

In an interview which we published
a day or two ago President Egan of
the Central Railway suggested a strik-
ing exhibit for the next State Fair. He
would have two farm models on the
grounds, one showing what too many
| Georgia farms are like, and the other
showing what they ought to be like.
! The first would have It's unlovely and
leaky cabin, its slow and spawned
mule, it's creaky and unreliable cart,
it's little pillow to scratch the earth to
a depth of two or three inches, it's
gourd vines around the door, it's few
poor examples of scrub poultry and
razor back hogs about the yard, and
last but by no means least half a doz-
en- or so lop-eared dogs lounging in
the sun. Mr.. Egan's word picture of
too many Georgia. farm establishments
is very realistic, and ought to be read
and pondered by every tiller of the soil
in the state.
BY way of contrast, and to show the
possibilities of Georgia farms, there
should be set up near the shack" re-
ferred to above, a model and modern
farm, such as may be had and operat-
ed profitably in every county in the
state. This would have it's neat cot
tage. with conveniences to aid the
housewife in her work; the poultry and
stock would be of the high grades; the
farming utensils would be modern and
capable of more than doubling the
work done by similar utensils of an
tiquated patterns. There would be no
little mo IS" pillow. In it's place there
would be a sulky pillow, drawn by two
good horses, that would prepare as
much ground as four or five of the
old style plows and do it better than
twice as we'll. And so on along the
whole line. Thrift and up-to- dateness
would be shown on every hand.
The object lesson would no doubt be
productive of good results. We need
something of the sort to awaken our
farmers from their conservatism"
which might better be called lethargy.
Thousands of them are to-day follow
ing precisely the methods that where
employed by their fathers and their
grandfathers before them. 1t may be
that they do not put a counterbalancing
rock in the other end of the corn
sack when they go to mill, but they do
a great many things that are equally
absurd. They plow as the people plow
ed sixty years ago, and they harvest
as their grandfathers harvested. All
the rest of the world has moved ahead,
but they have remained stationary. Is
it any wonder that they are often
heard to grumble about hard times?
No manufacturer could hope to pros
per by using the methods of the mid
die of the last century; how can the
farmers hope to do it?

He Lacked Appreciation.

She was young and nicely dressed
and fairly pretty, says the Cleveland
Plain Dealer The car was full when
she entered it, and most of the sitters
were women. The girl looked up and
down the long lines of raglans and
fiaring hats, and then planted herself
directly in front of a youngish man
who sat near the stove. She stared
down at him in superbly scornful
manner. but he was an old bird and
evidently didn't mind.
Then her scornful stare changed To
one of deep Indignation. and this in
turn melted into a look of panied sur
prise. But the youngish man stood II
all in thoroughly hardened manner.
The look of surprise became a look
of pity, and presently the girl stopped
little and remarked, I'm afraid You
don't know who l ?"
He looked astonished, but managed
to answer. Your fear is well grounded
May | ask who you are?"
The girl stffened with conscious
pride.
II am one of this seasons buds" she
said with superb air of superiority.
But even then she didn't get the
seat.

AMERICAN PLUCK

No finer examples of the character
istic, indomtable pluck of Americans
could be imagined than those present.
ed by the two Southern cities of Gal
weston, Tex, and Jacksonville, Fla. A
| little more than a year ago Galveston
was devastated by one of the worst
storms in the history of this country.
Its business houses and residences were
| battered into debris and hundreds of
! its citizens met death in the cataclysm.
The story of Galveston's great misfor-
tune is one of the saddest ever writ
ten. But her people, though crushed,
were not defeated. They went to work
to build new and better city, and
they have succeeded. Not only is Gal
weston doing business at the same old
stand" but she is doing more business
than ever before. with better facilities
and brighter future.
Galvestons calamity was by flood;
jacksonville as is well remembered,
was by fire. The hungry flames licked
up practically the whole business por-
ton of the city and a great many resi-
dences besides. That was only some
six months ago Now there is a new
Jacksonville arising, Phenix-like, from
the ashes; and it is an improvement
upon the old one. Before the embers
had ceased to smoke the people of
Jacksonville had pulled themselves to-
gether" and were making arrangements
for the rebuilding. Their losses had
been more than $16000,000 with only
about $6 900, 600 of insurance. But they
were undismayed and still had conf
dence in the future of the city. Since
May there have been issued more than
1,5OO building permits. under all of
which construction has been pushed
with rapidity. The new houses, for
both business and residence purposes,
those destroyed. Twelve months from
now there will be few vestiges of the
confiagration remaining.
Meanwhile the city's credit has ruled
high, new industries have been estab-
lished, fresh capital has been enlisted.
trade has been pushed vigorously, and
It may be said that Jacksonville is in
a prosperous condition, even though
many of the ash-piles are still in evil
dence. Everybody is busy, working
men are making good wages and mer-
chants are finding traffic brisk.
Galveston and Jacksonville deserve
and will receive the heartiest congrat-
ulations of the whole American peo-
pie upon their showing of that high
spirit which not even disaster can
daunt

TROUBLES OF WEALTH.

Doubtless most people who have not
an abundance of this worlds goods
think a great deal of the pleasures of
wealth. They seldom or never think
of the troubles of wealth. Wealth,
however. brings cares, annoyances and
troubles.
Only a few days ago we called at
tention to the many annoyances to
which Mr.. Carnegie is subjected on ac-
count of his great wealth. He is over
whelmed with begging letters, and it
is probable that those who do not get
favorable responses to their appeals
for help say all sorts of bitter things
about him. When he was in Pitts
burg recently he had to reach his car
riage by roundabout way, in order
to avoid the crowd of applicants for
assistance of one kind or another.
Helen Gould is annoyed continually
by beggars and cranks. Only last
week she received telephone mes
sage from the clerk of a florist that
some one. having purchased lot of
flowers, had sprinkled powder of some
sort over them. and then addressed
them to her. His idea was that the
purpose was to poison her. The flow
ers reached her residence, but were
not given to her, but were thrown into
the ash barrel, The man who sent
them was a crank who had been an
noying her for long time.
1t is only once in a while that the
annoyances to which people of wealth
are subjected are made public. There
is no doubt, however. that they are
so frequent that it is probable that
rich people often wonder whether they
would not be happier If they had only
a bare competency. Those who have
comparatively few wants and have
sufficient to supply them are happier
than those who have such immense
fortunes that they do not know how
to spend their incomes without In
dulging in reckless extravaganza. The
wealthiest people are not the happiest
people by any means.

Extraordinary Cure
A Statement Given by Thos.
c. Hall of Bel1eview, Fla,
the well known Merchant
and firm of Half Bros.

This is to certify that 1 have been
afflicted with very severe case of
structure for the last twenty years and
have suffered untold misery. I have
been treated by over fifty physicians
in the states of Florida and Georgia
some of them recommended to me al
being the very best physicians in the
South. They have used all forms of
treatment, some of them even operat-
ed upon me and came very near kill
ing me. AT last they gave me up and
] started for New York to have a sur
gical operation performed by a spe-
cialist who was recommended to me nv
these different physicians. While in
Savannah 1 was recommended to con-
suit DR.. j. Newton Hathaway, a spe
cialist of that city, before going to
New York. 1 did SO but with little
faith. However. after talking with the
doctor l somehow felt as if he were ths
man l had been looking for. as his CON
fidence in his ability to cure me seem
ed to be sure and positive, so l placeo
my case into his hands for treatment

Representative Crumpacker of In
diana once more comes to the front
in an effort to punish the South for
its temerity in daring to regulate the
ballot so as to eliminate. in part at
least, the ignorant and venal vote. He
proposes that the representation of the
South in Congress shall be cut down
to the basis of votes cast instead of
number of inhabitants. The consti-
tuition provides that representation
shall be apportioned according to the
number of free persons" in the states
of the union. 1t says nothing about
apportionment according to the num-
Der of votes cast. However. with
Crumpacker the situation may be
summed up in a paraphrase of a for
mer representative from New York:

publicans?

postal frauds, has again been delayed.
There is a technical question of the
legality of testimony taken in the
United States being introduced into
the proceedings in Cuba, where Span
ish practice governs. In so far as de-
lays are concerned. the Nelly case is
strongly suggestive of the Greene and

Times advances a unique reason why
the Beers do not surrender. He says
they are pledged in honor to the Cape

ment, therefore the Beers refuse to
consider any terms Of peace which do
not include amnesty and safety for

When Senator Quay of Pennsylvania
is charged with bossism and jobbery,
he responds that his heart beats warm
for the veterans. There is no more
persistent pension grabber in Congress
than he, and there is none who makes
more political capital out of the pen
sion business. He has introduced a
bill to give a pension to every man
who served as much as ninety days
in the federal army during the war
between the states, whether such per-
son was injured during the service or
not. His bill also raises the minimum
of pensions to be received by veterans
and widows, and provides certain fees
for pension attorneys. II is an attrac-
tive bid for the support of the pen
sion sharks and the pap-suckers, and
may get through. Quay does not care
now much the taxpayers are burdened,
just so he retains his political pull.

President Roosevelt is opposed to
any additions to or alterations in the
present White House. He thinks it
ought to remain just as 1t is, on ac-
count of its historical associations. But
he says there ought to be a separa-
ton between the executive residence
and the executive office; therefore he
has approved a scheme, embodied in
a bill introduced by Senator Lodge,
to erect an executive office and recep-
ton building on the land south of the
Treasury Department. at a cost of
S10O0,0O0 With this building, the
White House would be left for resi-
dental use exclusively. At present the
executive residence affords but little
privacy to the Presidents family, since
IL is both a residence and an office.
