After paying short visit to
our friends in the valley Dad and
| started back to the mines with
our stock and when we reached the
top Of the mountain | stopped and
took farewell look at the valley
below which was, except where the
land had been plowcd, one vast
bed of flowers, and little did !
think that | would never see it
again. We reached the mines
without mishap and sold our
stock, and as there was no water
to work the mines with | conclud-
ed to go with some friends, who
were going home, as far as San
Francisco. At the time | had no
idea of going any farther than San
Francisco, but it so happened that
there was no ship going out for a
bout two weeks which gave us
plenty of time to see the city and
the Golden Gate and in the mean
time ! found some Missouri friends
who were on their way home, and
after much persuasion | concluded
to come home and return in the
fall, as | intended to make my
home in California. SO we bought
tickets, some via New York and
some via New Orleans and all by
the way of Panama. On the first
day of June we went on board the
steamer John l.. Stephens. 1t be-
ing on Friday and as all sailors
are very superstitious they object
ed to starting on that day and pre-
dicted all kinds of disasters, but it
was no use, the day was set and
the captain ordered all on board
The ship was anchored along
side of the long wharf that extend
ed far out into the bay. Just OPP
posite our ship was anchored the
steamer Golden Gate, which had
just arrived from New York, hav-
ing come around Cape Horn. On
this ship was IL regiment of sol
diers destined for Oregon; among
them was Il fine band of must
clans. After the salutes had been
fired by the gun on our ship and
on shore the band began
to play Home, Sweet Home"
which brought tears from the eyes
Of many of the seven hundred and
fifty persons on board. AS our
ship was backing out they struck
up the old national air Hail, CO.
and it seemed that |
could hear 1t half way home.
We were soon passing out into
The great Pacific Ocean thru the
narrow golden gate. We were
scarcely outside of the dangerous
'ock when the ship became dis
iblcd and we had to he lowed back
o San Francisco for repairs,
which took until the next after
noon, when we started again.
This time we passed ont safely, I

ANOTHER FINE SERMON.

Rev. M. B. Adams, pastor of
the First Baptist Church, of this
city, preached. the third of his
series of sermons on the "Perils of
the City" on Sunday night last
to packed house. His theme
was The Perils of Lawlessness,
or the City a School for Crime. "
He made a plain statement of the
facts as tfey exist in this city and
elsewhere, showing the terrible
state of affairs caused by a failure
in the execution of the laws and
like failure in public sentiment to
back up the proper enforcement of
those laws.
He denounced in scathing terms
he cowardly practice of carrying
concealed deadly weapons; the
practice of fixing j lries so as to
acquit murderers or have those
juries to disagree, and thus
enable criminals to obtain bail
and continuances until the public
feeling had become deadened and
the result was a discharge of the
accused.
He plead for auniversaI observ-
ance of the laws, an enforcement
of it's penalties upon transgressors
and'a general turning of the peo-
pie ID he pa lhs of righteousness.
A death-like stiffness pervaded
the large audience as the
preachers words rung out in the
clearest tones in warming and
entreaty to the young men and
women, especially, to walk in the
ways of goodness and virtue.

FRANKFORT, JANUARY 2s, 1901.
DEATH OF QUEEN VICTORIA

On Tuesday last at 6:30 o'clock
p. m. the soul of the best queen
England ever had, and of a truly
great and good woman, in the
person of Victoria, passed to her
reward on high. She had reigned
longer than any other monarch.
1t can be truly said of her that
her highest aim and constant en-
deavor was to elevate aud bless her
people, and to advance the interest
and kingdom of her Lord and
Maste", Jesus Christ. From first
to last her history is one that all
English speaking people can take
pridde in.
At the time of her demise she
was in her S1st year, and up to
the last six months of that long
life she had been in unusually
robust health. The worries and
anxieties occasioned by the wars
between England and the Beers
and the South Africans we're the
cause of the breakdown at last.
She had always been a constant
and unwearying worker and
insisted on having a general super
vision of the management of the
vast dominion over which she was
Empress.
Her voice and influence were
ever on the side of peace and tran
guilty, and we, as nation, owe
her a debt of gratitude for her
unfailing friendship for our coun-
try ana its people.
The grief of the great common
people of her empire at this sad
event is genuine and heartfelt.
In this country there is a uni
versal expression of sorrow. And
for the first time in our history
the flag on the White House at
Washington City was lowered to

OUR HOME ORCHESTRA.

The phrase home talent" has
a diversity of meanings, not the
least among which is the feeling
of terror, or the raising of the
eyebrows when brought to the at
tention of the nearer or reader.
Nevertheless there is always the
underlying pride of any live town
or city in her institutions, which
acts as continuous incentive to
the greater and more successful
development of those enterprises.
A community is judged by her
neighbors and visitors according
as her home interest and facilities
are nurtured or ignored, and the
zeal growth, socially, CONNER
cially, artistically, religiously or
politically, may be gagged largely
by the support given to those
necessary branches of cosmopoli-
tan life.
Our city of Frankfort is no ex-
ception, but, sad to say, has been
in state of torpor as regards the
development and encouragement
of the artistic side of her life.
The reason for this is not hard to
account for; there are numbers Of
our citizens of position and
means who could, and can, do
more if they had the support of
the community at large. Our
noted musical cities have only
become so through the co-opera-
tion of the masses and the
moneyed element, and we do not
hesitate to say that Frankfort has
no reasonable excuse for not being
in line with any city of her 81 Q
in the country.
The Capital Theatre Orchestra
was organized Z months ago as a
necessary adjunct of the Capital
Theatre.
The new managers of the Opera
House were wide-awake enough to
realize the necessity of a good
working force in front of the
curtail as we'll as on the stage.
The results of work and perse-
verance are self-evident and the
manner in which the public has

received the new orchestra is most
gratifying. But, more can be
done and more substantial a d
must be given.
1t Is recognized fact that the
orchestra is not complete, owing
to lack of available material.
There is the nucleus of a good mill
tary band here and with few
places filled with good, exper-
fenced musicians we would find
other things developing in proper
ton.
If this is to be done every bust
ness man should use every oppor-
tunity to place a new man in some
one OF more of our industries and
thereby assist in building up our
force of musicians, eventually
establishing band and orchestra
that they will be proud of.
Mr.. Atherton, the director of
the orchestra, has a record of ex-
perience that cannot be be-littled;
and, with the addition of few
good men to the already excellent
organization he has evolved,
promises much for the future.
There are some croakers"
whom you will always hear saying
it don't do the town no good,
nohow. ="
We beg to differ. 1t certainly
does the town good to keep the
money in the town and the more
enterprises there are OH the boom
the more money is put into circu-
lation. A few concerts have been
given in order to show what can
be done with proper encour lge-
ment, and two more will be given,
including the one next Wednesday
night, the Both. We desire to
prove that home talent" can be
a source of true pride. and con-
slider it the duty of everyone who
is at all interested in local progress
to support the concerts and under
takings of the home orchestra.
There will be a fine artist at each
concert and as fast as new men
can be brought here the orchestra
will be enlarged and thereby i'm
proved. Next fall a series of con-
certs will be inaugurated and a
season ticket issued.
Let us all put ouI shoulders to
the wheel and help this thing TO a
final and brilliant success.
The program for the Both is a
happy combination of popular and
classic selections and. with the
assistance of Mr.. Slaughter, the
tenor, bids fair to outshine any
thing yet given in Frankfort.

Won WALDERsEE's ACTIVITY.
German Captain Lays IL ON Pretty
Thick.

Berlin, Feb. 5.-Capt. Hoenig, in Der
Tag, gives what purports to be a reliable
account of Count Won Waldersee's activ-
itS in China thus far. He says:
If course Count Won Waldersee has
been greatly hampered all along by the
conflicting interests and aims Of the Pow
ers especially those of Russia and Great
Britain, as seen IN the matter of the rail-
road between Pekin and Shan Hal Kwan,
and the mater of the Elliott and Blonde
Islands recently and also in the separate
interests of France in the mission Ques-
tion.
However, by using the utmost tact and
never tranescending his delv gated pow
ers, Count Won Walde ersee has hitherto
succeeded in maintaining fairly harmon
ious military and naval action.
EARLY after his arrival it became plain
that the Chinese government hoped to
sow discord among the Powers and, by
granting sepa ate concessions to Russ. a,
the United States, Japan and France, to
get these Powers to withdraw from the
concert by the coming spring and then to
begin a serious war against the remain
ing forces, which the Chinese believed
they could overwhelm.
1.-The withdrawal of the Chinese regular
forces to 81 Ngan Flu an artifice and part
of the foregoing scheme, which, how
ever, was frustrated mainly by the sur
prisng success of he Kalgan expedition.
This movement, undertaken by forced
marches through the most difficult and
mountainous territory with the tempera-
ture at IS centgrade below, after fording
the ice-obstructed rivers, drove back ten
thousand Chinese regulars, who were
dumbfound at the advance against them. 3"

JUDGE BARTLETTS CONDITION.
mOnia-Hfs Family Physician,
DIR. Hall of Macon sent for.

Washington, Feb. 5.-Judge Bartlett is
so desperately i'll that it has been de-
termined to send at once for his friend
and family physician, DR.. Hall of Ma
con. In the opening prayer in the House
to-day, the blind chaplain referred feel
ingly to the critical illness of the Geor-
sian, praying that he might be spared
for many years of further usefulness.
Dr. w. Johnston, who is regarded as
one of the foremost physicians of this
city, has charge of the case, and says
that the conditions during the past few
hours have not been particularly unfa-
vorable, but he confirms the reports that
the Judge has what is known as double
pneumonia, both OF his lungs being af-
fected. One lung, it is understood, is two
thirds congested, and the other is about
one-third.
All of the members OF the Georgia dele
cation are deeply concerned over Judge
Bartlett's Illness and many of the leading
men of the House have called at the
Riggs House to express their sympathy
with Mrs. Bartlett, who is nursing her
husband, and the hope that he may soon
recover Judge Bartlett is one Of the most
popular men in the House and his criti-
cal Illness causes general sorrow.

A WARNING TO CUBANS.

havana, Feb. 5.-The Cuban Constitu-

governors of the provinces should be
elected by the direct vote OF the people,
a motion to have the President appoint
them being defeated.
Senior Giberga, in the course of n pa
triotic address, the most stirring speech
yet made in the convention, said he was
in sympathy with the desire of the rev.

gates to proceed intelligently, as n mis-
step now might result in losing forever
that long sought goal which other re-
publcs had reached during the last cen

late to correct some mistakes III the con
stitution. He intimated that the clause
referring to 'pernieious foreigners
would cause trouble in the future and
should be struck out. Moreover, he con-
tended. that under both Spanish rule and
American Intervention the provinces and
municipalities had always been obliged
to esk aid of the central government, and
IL full autonomy were now granted them
the result would be disastrous to Cuba.
Gov. Gen. Wood Informed several dele
gates who waited upon him yesterday that
the Washington administration was de-
sirous of getting the constitution before

delegates 20 send the best project possible

Congress reason for delay.
