make this plan possible; so far they
have been quite successful and will be
able to present a most encouraging re-
port to the meeting Thursday.
The details of the plan for these
concerts are embodied in the following
letter which the committee has sent
Oht ally W tHOoc

legged Incident in Atlanta.
Atlanta, Nov. 3.-President George
w. Owens of the Savannah Fair Asso-
citation was here tonight on his way
home. 81 just heard yesterday" Pres
ident Owens said, that Hon. Pope
Brown felt aggrieved that he was not
invited to join the committee that went
to invite the Legislature to visit Sa-
vannah, and / must say l was some
what surprised. The committee APP
pointed by myself as president, was
distinctly a Savannah committee, and
the matter of inviting Mr.. Brown was
not discussed or thought OF because
of this fact.
81 saw Mr.. Brown on the morning
of the day we went before the Legis-
lature, talked with him pleasantly, and
told him why we were here. There was
never any intimation that he would
like to join us, and in fact the matter
was not even referred to. There was
no reason for it, and under the cir
cumstances 1 cannot believe Mr.. Brown
felt sighted in any way"

WI 4 TRUE CHINAMAN.
All His Interests in China and He
Will Return There if Recalled.

VIII return There III Recalled.
Washington, Nov. 3-Mr WI, the
Chinese minister, returned to the city
tonight. He said he had not received
any notice of his recall to China, nor
any intimation that he would be ask
ed to return. AS he has heretofore ex-
pressed himself, the minister would not
be surprised in the least if such &C
ton were contemplated by his govern
ment, as he has now served on the
mission here for more than a year
longer than the customary time al
lowed by the foreign office to any one
place, viz: three years. He is simply
holding over now and his recall and
the appointment of a successor would
be simply in line with established
practice. Mr.. Wu's tenure has been
very satisfactory to the administra
ton and it is understood that it was
through representations of the officials
here conveyed to the Chinese govern
ment that it was continued.
When asked whether he would re-
turn to China if he were recalled Mr..
WI replied with feeling:
"Why shouldn't 1? All my interests
are there"

Atlanta, Ga. Nov. AT least three,
and perhaps all, of the candidates for
governor will be in Savannah We'd
nesday with the Legislature on the
occasion of the opening of the State
Fair. Col. j. H. Estill WILL of course,
be at home, and Hon. Pope Brown, one
of the leaders of the State Agricul-
tural Society will, of course, be on
hand. 1t may be, too, that Hon Jim
Smith, who is looked upon as the prob
able successor of Mr.. Brown in the
race, will go down.
Hon. Dupont Guerry has expressed
the intention of making the trip and
Attorney General Terrell will go I'M
less he is detained by important bust
ness. He has to be in Murphy, N. c..
to-day to defend Sheriff Lovinggood
and Deputy Finley of Fannin county,
who are charged with kidnapping, and
if he can get through with this work
in time he will go to Savannah.
This leaves only Hon. Henry G.
Turner to be accounted for, and as he
lives at Quitman, very close to Savan-
nah, it is not unlikely that he will
make the trip.

FAMOUS EXPRESSIcNS.
Attempt TO Trace Some Of Them to
Their Origin.

To feel in apple-pie order is a phrase
which dates back to Puritan times-to
a certain Hepzibah Merton. 1t seems
that every Saturday she was accustom-
ed to bake two or three dozen apple
pies, which were to last her family
through the coming week. These she
placed carefully on her pantry shelves,
labeled for each day of the week, so
that Tuedays pies might not be con-
fused with Thursdays, nor those pre-
sumably large or intended for washing
and sweeping days, eaten when house
hold duties were lighter. Aunt Hep
zibah's "apple-pie order" was known
throughout the entire settlement, and
originated the well-known saying.
It was once customary in France,
when a guest had outstayed his well
come, for the host to serve a cold
shoulder of mutton, instead of a hot
roast. This was the origin of the
phrase, ITO give the cold shoulder"
None shall wear a feather but he
who has killed a Turk" was an old
Hungarian saying, and the number Of
feathers in his cap indicated how many
Turks the man had killed. Hence the
origin Of the saying with reference to
a feather in ones cap.
In one Of the battles between the
Russians and Tartars a private soldier
Of the former cried out, Captain I've
caught a Tartar" Bring him along
then" answered the officer, 81 can't,
for he won't let me, was the response,
Upon investigation it was apparent
that the captured had the captoT by the
arm, So catching Tartar is appli-
cable to one who has found an antag-
Onist too powerful for him.
That far from elegant expression, "to
kick the bucket is believed to have
originated in the time of Queen Eliza
beth when a shoemaker named Haw-
kins committed suicide by placing a
bucket on a table in order to raise him
self high enough to reach a rafter
above, then kicking away the bucket
on which he stood. The term coroner
is derived from the word "corph-con-
nor" which means corpse inspector
He's a bricke' meaning a good fel-
low, originated with a king Of Sparta
Agesilaus-about the fourth century
B. c. A visitor at the Lacedaemonian
capitol was surprised TO find the city
without walls or means of defence, and
asked his royal host what they would
do in case Of an invasion by a foreign
power. "Do?" replied the heroic king.
"Why, Sparta has fifty thousand sol
diers and each one is a brick"
When the Horse Guards parade in

Her D's and "Idees -

While James Russell Lowell was ed

Harriet Prescott Spofford enjoyed a
warm personal friendship with him,
and he frequently accepted her stories.
Mrs Spofford feared that he might be

her and not for the merit Of her work.
She resolved to put the matter to the
test Her handwriting was peculiar.
One Of the most Characteristic letters
was her d, TO the end Of which she gave
a queer little crook toward the left.
In order to disguise her work she had
