Word was received in this city yes
terday announcing the death of Col
Alexander ]. Johnson at his home. I'm
iontown, Pa, which sad event occcurr-
ed on June 80. Mr.. Johnson was a
bright young lawyer; held the respon-
sible position of attorney for one of the
divisions of the Pennsylvania Railroad.
Last winter he came to Gainesville,
hoping the climate would cure him of
consumption, but his case had gone too
far, and in May he returned home, al
most hopeless.
In a letter to friends in this city, Mr.
and Mrs. S. L. Clark of Sargho, Ky,
make known the fact that on June 20
their little 2-year-old daughter Minnie
died. This couple resided at Rocky
Point, Fla, where the child was born,
and the family is well known in
Gainesville.

The music halls are also something else.
There are deeps under the depths. But
these things are not for the casual view.
You can spend night at Coney and hear
and see none of them.
The visitors who are there by day and
by night may be counted by the thou

average in character personality and po-
sition as would the lines of people you

clergymen, women of high estate. Thieves

People go to Coney as children leave
the school room and run out to play.
There 1t is in nutshell. The visitor to
New York who doesn't go there has
missed all the circuses OF the world rolled
Into one.
There is curious thing you notice at
midnight, as many people seem to be ar
irving as you go away. The cars are full
of them. This indicates that the evening
workers OF the city have come down to
do the place after their work is over.
1t Is now that the dance halls begin to
tune up. The music is gay; the dancing

The dance halls keep up their work I'M

Then, when other people are getting up
for the work of the day, the Bowery
crawls off to bed to prepare for the work
Of another night.
The visitor who grows tired of this
noise and the endless lights of this fore

darkness, quiet. the silence of the great
deep, and the light only OF the moon and

Der of Men Present.


Atlanta, Ca, July H.-With only 200
men at the train the Fifth Regiment
got off for its annual encampment this
morning leaving on special coaches for
De n, the place selected for the reg
mental outing. The officers had con-
fidently expected fully 300 from this

great when it was found that no more
than 200 were on hand. More men will
go up this morning and the encamp-
ment is expeced to be a great success.
Some of the companies expect from 8
to Is more men, and arrangements
have been made with the Western and

San Francisco, July 12.-Capt. Put
nam Bradlee Strong, of the Quarter
masters Department of the transport
Ingalls,. recently ordered to Manila,
was at an early hour this morning
asked to leave the California Hotel.
Capt. Strong had registered at the
hotel in company with Mrs. H. l..
Hastings, Boston" The lady bore
such a striking resemblance to Lady
Francis Hope that some who knew the
former May Yohe thought they recog-
nized her. Something which the hotel
proprietor heard led him to send a
messenger demanding the immediate
presence of the captain in his private
office.
What do you mean by awaking me
so early?" angrily asked the captain.
1t was a little after O'Clock.
You are wanted by Mr.. Wren"
Tell him cannot come. I'll send
down my valet"
The messenger returned to Mr.. Wren
with the Captains reply, but was soon
at the Captains door with the impera-
tive message:
"Mr. Wren says he does not want to
see your valet, and you will please
come down at once"
The Captain grumblingly slipped
into his clothes and went downstairs
and limited at proceedings.
you will leave here at $3.50, and If
you are here after that time your bill
will be $50 an hour" said Mr.. Wren.
But, my dear sir, we have twelve
trunks-twelve trunks; and can we
pack twelve trunks by 1902"
1T gives you three quarters of an
hour. / give you this much time sim
ply because you have twelve trunks"
Capt Strong went up to his apart
ments and shortly thereafter there
came ring for the bell-boy.
Get some breakfast-Just some eggs,
coffee and toast, some chops-and be
quick"
Back came the boy
"The management says you amt GO
ing to get no breakfast" said he.
"The scoundrels," calculated the Cap
tain.
The last trunk was out OF the hotel
at 8 O'Clock. Capt. Strong and Mrs.
Hastings" the latter heavily yelled,
left the hotel before the hour demand
ed. Tile express mans wagon made a
circuit OF the many streets and finally
stopped at a transient rooming- house
Capt. Strong arrived from New York
last Thursday. lie went 10 the Palace
Hotel and there registered as "P. y.

signature there appeared the name OF
Mrs. II, l.. Hastings. New York"
