Cur,ou. style. Of Letter findings.

Curious styles of Letter Findings.
ANY one in the habit of perusing old
letters is struck with the tone of great
humility and Difference which per-
vades the correspondence of our ances-
tors.
A few specimens Of the style Of be-
ginning and ending letters may prove
interesting az IN striking contrast to
the laconic "yours obediently," faith
fully" or truly" of the present day.
1t would certainly be difficult to match
the following subscription of letter
from the Duke Of Shrewsbury to Sir
Thomas Hammer, dated September,
lib: II desire that you will believe
that, wherever i am, shall always en-
deavor to deserve and very much value
your friendship, being, with a sincere
esteem, sir, your most faithful and ODE
dent servant, Shrewsbury"
Frequently one meets with bellicose
subscriptions, as in the case Of the
Earls Of Huntly and Enrol, who, in
1894, Threatened lawful consequences"
to the magistrates of Aberdeen unless
they released certain gentlemen i'm
prisoned In their city and inscribed,

A Pointed Suggestion.

A young married lady is often criti.
cised by her friends because of the
freedom with which she accepts little
attentions from friends of the other
sex.
At a recent gathering which she at.
tended she drew from her pocket her
lace handkerchief, in which knot had
been tied in order to call to her mind
some trivial duty.
Dear me-" said the popular young
married lady to several gallants about
her. 'why is that knot in my handker.
chief? tied it there to remind me OF
something. What could it beT"
"My child" said an old lady who
overheard her and who is noted for the
acrid witness Of her repartee, '.it was
probably tied in order to remind you
that you are married"

WHY NOT NIB. HlLL7

From the Springfield Republican.
Mr.. Hills hunt for democratic candi-
date for governor of New York is not
rich in results. so far as the public is
informed. The talk of Judge Parker of
the court of appeals has died away, now
that the Judge has refused so emphati-
caliy to accept the honor. Other judges
are talked of, even Justice Peckham of
the United States supreme court, which
merely shows how very hard up Mr.. Hill
is for suitable candidate. OF course
the candidate must suit Mr.. Hill, fact
choice. If any one can name a New
4trk democrat who would make a
stronger campaign than Edward NJ.
Shepard, he ought not to conceal the
identity of the individual But Mr.
Shepard is not even under consideration
II would appear. Possibly this is due
to an old grudge, for Mr.. Shepard was a
hard hitter against Hill In the days of
the ex-governor earlier supremacy If
there be any logic in the present situa-
ton, 1t must be in favor of Mr.. Hills
own candidacy. Why doesn't he run
again for governor. In 1894 he was beaten
by some 10000 plurality. but the condi-
lions that year were abnormal. He would
undoubtedly do better now; and, be-
sides, a good run might make him
stronger as a candidate for the presi-
dency. For Mr.. Hill still has an eye on
the presidency. according to the prevail
ent belief

THE MERscHAUM INDUSTRY.
Where In Turkey the Mines Are
Located.

From the Scientific American.
The British foreign office has issued
report upon the meerehaum mining in
dustry of Constantinople. This product,
which is extensively utilized for the man
ufaeture OF pipes. is almost entirely con-
fined to Turkey. The meersohaum can be
mined by any person al Sari-sou, sepetdie
Ghelkli and Menlou, on payment of FIVE
pias to the administration of mlnes-ths
cost of a permit The mines at sari-sou
arc situated at a distance of about seven
teen miles to the east Of Eslichehir The
pit at sari-sou was opened twenty years
/ ago, but today there are 5000 mines
opened. of which. however oniy goo are
worked, the remainder having been aban-
doned. Some 1900 miners work these mines
and every Friday market IS neid at
which they dispose of the blocks of meer
sehaum they have extracted during the
week. For the accommodation of the
worlSmen some 1000 huts have been
erected.
At Senetdle. about eighteen miles to the
northeast Of Eslkiehehir, there are some
10000 pits In a space of six miles, of which
only $50 are worked, all the others being
exhausted. It is said that these mines
were opened 1000 years ago. which is not
iner edible, as 1t is we'll known that mag
aesia was formerly used for many pur-
poses. other than the fabrication of pipes;
moreover, Fuliers earth used to be
worked on a vast scale by the scientists.
The meerschaum mines are worked by
600 miners, who live in the surrounding
villages. At Gheikl. in the neighborhood
of Sepotdje. there are 5000 pits, of which
only 100 are worked. giving employment
to 400 miners.
The only place where the administra-
ton of mines authorized meerschaum to
be extracted is Menlou, and here there
are only twenty pits actually worked by
100 workmen. The working OF these meer-
schaum deposits called the Eskichehir.
mines which formerly were actively
worked, is reduced to ITO pits, giving en-
nloyment to some 5000 miners, the greater
portion OF whom are Kurds and Persians.

Iha Incident is Closed.

With one exception, and that one
located in Birmingham, every paper
that supported the Johnston-Waller
ticket has loyalty accepted the verdict
of the people, and is now supporting
the nominees of the party. The Age
Herald has already quoted several, and
we add here what the Mobile Item
says. The Item was warm number"
during the campaign, giving the
friends of Governor Jelks no quarter,
but now it says:
So far as the Johnston newspapers are
concerned, we do not believe there Is
one In the state that entered into per-
sonal abuse or soiled its garments in any
manner and when the contest ended in
their defeat all surrendered to the enevi-
table. and with one accord fell into the
ranks to continue the battle for the prin-
ciples of democracy.
Another untiring and capable John
ston newspaper was the Marion County
News, but here is what it now says:
The News places at its masthead the
ticket headed by Mr.. Jelks, and will give
1t our most cordial support. While we
believed that Captain Johnston would
have made the best governor, still we
are now. and always have been, willing
to abide by the decision of a majority of
the democratic voters of the state. The
only question involved in the late cam
paign was as to which gentleman would
best fill the office of governor, and we
thought Mr.. Johnston would, because of
his experience and well known ability.
But all this has passed away. and we
hope to see every democrat in Alabama
stand shoulder to shoulder for the ticket
nominated at the primary election. Hav-
ing got through our little family row
with such good feeling we should all en-
deavor to pull together for the benefit of
our party and state. There should no
longer be a Jelks democrat or a Johnston
democrat, but just plain democrats, hav-
ing but one purpose and one determine
tion-the success of the democratic party
Let bygones be bygones. and go to work
to help the party and in this way help
yourselves.
And the Decatur Advocate says.
1--WE are all for Jelks now" The party
is in fact solidified under the leader
ship of the nominees of the primary.
No one will kick against the action of
10000 voters, whatever they might
have done against the action of a
dickering convention. The 10000 went
to the polls and voted their convic-
lions, and their decision is final. The
Johnston men were to a man advo-
Gates of a state primary, and to a man,
to their credit be it said, they have
periodically and faithfully accepted
the action of that primary. The Incl
dent is closed.
