STRIKE FOR ICE CREAM.
Choir Boys In New York Church Re-

Because ten boys did not receive

Used them by Rev. DR.. Stuart Crockett
before he sailed for Europe nearly
two weeks ago, they went on
strike, and Choirmaster Arthur Fare
had to conduct the musical services
in the Protestant Episcopal church
of the TRANSPORTATION, Brooklyn,
with Only six boys. The strikers oc-
cupied seats in the auditorium, and
calmly announced that if somebody
guaranteed to buy the ice cream they
would sing, but not one of the
wealthy members of the congrega-
ton volunteered to crafty their de-
sire.
Rehearsal and Sunday nights were
always anticipated with great pleas
ure by the boys. Rector Crockett al
ways furnished an abundant supply
of ice cream on those nights, and the
boys after awhile began to look for
it. Knowing this, DR.. Crockett prom
Used the boys that he would leave
enough money with Choirmaster
Fare before he sailed to celebrate his
departure with an ice cream supper.
Mr.. Fare set the date for the sup
per a week ago last Wednesday, but
forgot to bring the money along
with him on that night, and it was
postponed until the following Tues
day night. The same thing happened
Tuesday night, and it was set for
last Thursday. Only eight of the
boys, however, appeared on that
evening. Unwilling to postpone it
again, Mr.. Fare intrusted them with
the money that belonged to the abb
sent ones.
When the absent ones appeared and
asked for theE ice cream money they
were told to forget it. They APP
pealed to Mr.. Fare, and demanded
that he make good DR.. Crockett's
promise, which the choirmaster de-
clined to do. A strike was iuimedi-
ately declared by the disgruntled

at New York the other night from
Curacao, Porto Rico and South Amer
lean ports vasMrs. o. S. Aranjo de
Lieder, of Curacao, bride of fort
night, who comes to join her hus Dand
in New York.
Mrs. Leider was married by proxy
at Curacao. She is member of one of
the most important families of that
little Dutch island, and, although it
seems proxy weddings are not rare
there, nearly every one of any conse-
quence on the island witnessed the
ceremony. Mr.. Leider, who is in bust
ness in New York, is native of
Curacao, where he and Miss Aranjo
became engaged. A short time ago he
wrote her that he was ready
to make her his wife and asked
her to come north to meet him,
but she was unwilling. to make the voy-
age alone, and besides she wished to
be married after the custom of her is
lands. So proxy ceremony was
agreed upon. Luis o. Negron stood
in the place of the absent groom and
the knot was tied securely, although
the groom was 1000 miles away.

MONKEY HAS A WARDROBE.
Pet of Eastern FszhiOnables In UD-
to-Date Dress In Guest OF Honor
at q Banquet.

"Jocko," the ape that was the guest
of honor at dinner given by Harry
Lehr at Newport, and who celebrated
this dignity by getting drunk and
throwing fruit and glasses at the
guests, has two fashionable suits of
clothes, undergarments to match.
The suit he wore at the dinner was
of cardinal-colored cloth, trimmed
with black braid and brass buttons,
cut like Russian blouse, with belt.
A brown suit was also made, but this
was reserved for another occasion.
"Jocko" was driven to the tailoring
establishment of Mr.. OConnor, at
Newport, and the tailor informed that
fashionable suit of clothes was re-
quired for the little animal.
The tailor was astonished. He said
that he had never done anything in
that line and did not care to under
take the job. He was informed that
he could name his own price if he
would make the clothes, and was final
ly persuaded to do the work. 1t was
a short-order job at that. for the
clothes must be made inside of three
hours.
"Jocko" was then stood up on the
cutting board and the work of TAX
Ing his measure began. 1t was NO easy
task and it was some time before the
figures were taken. Three hours
later the clothes were called for and
delivered, and the fit was SO good that
on his owners next visit to Newport
the monkeys wardrobe is to be in
creased.

THE RAINFALL WAS UNEVEN.
And Uneven Crop Conditions Are
Reported In Georgia

Atlanta. Aug 19-The summary of
the Georgia crop report for the week
just ended is as follows:
The rainfall of the week, like that
of the preceding week was unevenly
distributed. Light showers occurred in
majority of the counties and heavy
rains fell in some of the middle and
southern sections, causing damage to
crops In a few instances. Drought con-
tinues in many counties where the
precipitation for the week was insult
ficient.
The general condition of crops in
the dry districts remains critical Cot
ton is variable, ranging from excellent
to almost a complete failure Rust
and premature opening continues, and
plants are turning yellow in some sec
tons. Picking is in active progress
over large part of the southern half
of the state, and is beginning In the
more northern counties.
The outlook for a top crop is poor
Fodder pulling is practically COM
pleted, in the middle and Southern
counties, and is general in the north;
the yield is excellent. Lowland corn is
still in a generally favorable stage,
and minor crops are promising"

Mr.. Bryan and the south.

Walton County, Fla, Aug. 16.-Edi-
tor Morning News: In a late issue Of
the News IS an editorial headed "An
Incident in Mr.. Bryan's Career" The
incident" is supplied by the Onlooker
OF New York, and represents Mr.
Bryan as withholding his vote from
Mr.. Crisp for Speaker, because he had
been Confederate soldier. On page
1874 of the "Commorer Condensed" is
an editorial by Mr.. Bryan, headed
THE South Not Excluded" in which
he insists that in casting about for
presidential candidates for 1904 the fact
that man is a Southerner and eX-
Confederate, should not throw him out
of consideration for the Democratic
nomination. VIII the News publish
that editorial? You may not have it.
l give a few extracts:
Certainly we are far enough away
from the Civil War-certainly the pas
sions aroused by that conflict are suf-
ficiently cooled, to permit a Southern
man to aspire to the presidency"
Even before the Spanish war called
out the army, both Federal and Con-
federate, the South had earned it's
right to be considered a part of the
Union; but the commingling of the
sons of those who wore the blue. and
the sons of those who wore the gray
side by side at Santiago and Manila,
ought to silence those who think it
unwise to place a Southern man on
the ticket"

Waycross, Ga. Aug. 19-Ed Isham,
a negro train hand on the Atlantic
Coast Line Railroad, attempted to pass
forged order on the Blackshear
Hardware Company last night. The

But the above extracts are from his
editorials of later date. What North
ern anti-Bryan Democratic paper, has
printed and fathered sentiments more
liberal and kindly to the South in the

thing, if he has reformed? Might not

sincerity and his courage in the line
of his conviction. Where SO many are
seeking an issue that will win, it is
refreshing to find a leading man who
champions a cause, because he thinks
it is right. He seems really to think
it is better to be right than President.

tons of the Missouri and Upper Mis-

Rust and shedding are very generally

LICENSES TO VETERANS.
McLaSvs Camp to Investigate the
Abuse of the Law.

Abuse of the Law.
McLaws Camp, No. SIC. United Con-
federate Veterans, met at Pythian
Hall last night. Commander c. l..
Chestnut presided. and Adjt. A. K. Will
son was at his post
The committee appointed to call on
Judge McAlpin and secure a list of
veterans who draw pensions in Chat
ham county, and those who avail
themselves of the law exempting ex-
Confederates from paying licenses, re-
ported that owing to other pressing
business the ordinary will not be able
to furnish the list asked for until after
Sept. l. and asked for further time.
The camp proposes making an in
vestigation in order to find out If those
who have availed themselves of the
law are justly entitled to do so under
its provisions. There is considera BILE
talk to the effect that there are Con-
federate exemptions used by parties
who are not entitled to them, but who
rent them from others or in some way
obtain them from those to whom they
were issued.
Veteran T. B. Catherwood, a men,
Der now living at Lake Mary, who
was appointed hiStorion of the camp,
has accepted the position. The APP
pointment of historian was by order
of Maj. Gen. c. A. Evans, command
ing the Department of Georgia. Vet
eran Catherwood is well known for his
ability as a graceful writer, and there
is no question that McLaws Camp
will have a well-written history.
The Committee on Uniforms made
its report. 1t is probable that nearly
every member will be uniformed IN
time for the next parade. The camp
has now 1873 members, and is in
1ourishing condition.
The adjutant was instructed to re-
turn the thanks of the camp to the
Confederate Veterans Association for
copy of it's pamphlet of proceedings
and addresses.
