Was Over a Hundred Years Old.

Rev. Godfrey White, colored, died
at his home on the McCorkle planta::
tion, five miles southwest of Albany,
a few nights ago after a short illness.
The deceased was we'll known in
this section, and had many friends
among the white people in Albany, be
having been in years past frequent
visit to the city. Before the war he
belonged to the Tarver family, and
subsequently to X-GovernOr A. H.
Colquitt. He attained an advanced
age, and though there is no record of
the exact date of his birth it is pretty
we'll established that he was over a
hundred years old He is survived by
eleven children.-Albany Herald.

FAMOUS BRITISH RELIC.
Anecdote Recalled by the Sale of
Battle Abbey.

The sale of the noted Battle abbey In
England to Sir Augustus Webster re-
calls an amusing anecdote OF the late
venerable Duchess of Cleveland, who
was chatelaine for many years both OF
Battle abbey and Raby castle, says the
New York Herald. She was one of the
wittiest women of her generation. Her
grace was present at certain party
given by a famous American newspa-
per owner and millionaire by way Of
housewarming his new palatial offices
on the Thames embankment. The host
was pointing out to his distinguished
guests the various beauties of the es-
Enlistment, charging especially on
the splendor and cost of the grand
staircase of alabaster and onyx.
Every fine, indeed, Mr.. A." at last
said the old duchess, little wearied
by these encomiumS. Extremely fine,
so much finer than my staircases at
Raby and Battle. But those, you know,
have been sadly damaged by the mail
ed heels of crusaders tramping up and
down them"
Battle abbey is situated near Battle,
Hastings, Sussex. The town received
it's name from being the spot on which
the SaXons, under Harold, were de-
feated by William. duke of Normandy,
at the battle of Hastings in 1906. Aft
err the battle William the Conquerer
founded a magnificent abbey to COM
memorate his victory. The high altar
in the church is said to have stood on
the very spot where the body of the
Saxon king was found.
The property just sold belonged to
the Duchess of Cleveland, widow Of
the fourth and last Duke of Cleveland.
She died May IS of the present year.
She was the mother of Lord Rosebery
and married as her second husband
the Duke of Cleveland in 1854. Cap
tain Forester, who inherited the prop
erty, could not afford to keep it up.

Taking Advantage of
Cuba'S Weak Condition.

A rumor is going around that Amer
lean syndicates are taking advantage
of Cuba's industrial straits by making
large purchases of Cuban plantations
at panic prices. The bankers at
Havana who have been sustaining the
planters with credit are said to have
been disheartened by delay in legisla-
ton at Washington and to have lost
faith in the purpose of Congress to af-
ford any relief to insular industries;
accordingly the financially weaker
holders of sugar and tobacco lands are
being forced to sell out. To bankrupt
the nation which we went to war to
libera.e and hand over its possession
to greedy exploiters from the United
States would be to crown the infamy
of our Cuban policy. Congress may
not have intended to bring about this
result by it's subservient dillydallying
at the behest of the beet sugar lobby;
nevertheless should the crime be con.
summated congress would be respon-
sible participant. -PhiIadelphia Rec

Three against one is always heavy

later on.
CHANGING down the line, he saw "A

the window of "a first-class carriage.
II was SO quickly withdrawn, and
somehow ne was under the impression
that the sight of him so near at hand
had been the cause of it's disappear

More than this, Rhinelander was al
most ready to take his oath that he
had seen something familiar about the
head.
In fact, he had good cause TO believe
the party was no other than the Coun-
tess Aimee.
When he walked slowly past the
compartment he found the shade
drawn down and all dark within, so
that he could discover no confirmation
of his suspicion.
At any rate, it gave him food for
thought.
lie really needed something of the
sol to take his mind away from his
troubles, which at times threatened to
overwbelm him.
All aboard again. and they were OFF.
Paul saw no reason to regret his lit
tie %saunter. since, besides giving him
an opportunity to enjoy a good cigar
in the open air, it had also settled his
convictions regarding his fellow trav-
elers, and at the same time opened his
eyes to the possible presence of the
countess.
Several times, from the adjoining
compartment. had come the sound of a
grulf laugh. and there was something
very familiar about its genial nature,
though Paul could not manage to just
place it.
He wondered whether these men
meant him i'll or if he had drawn large
~ upon his imagination in thinking 50.
They appeared to have settled down
and were all locked in Morpheus arms

In all the large cities of France Mar
guerite Durand has pleaded the cause
Of woman with signal success. Since
her agitation many doors have been
opened to the services OF woman both

Surely TIL. Lie Was Forgiven.

One wild night in October, 1894, the
fishing smack, Highland Mary was
running before a gale such as seldom
thunders against the Welsh coast, even
with the Irish Sea, white with fury.
Skipper McEwan, with set teeth, had
lost hope, and, grim and silent, was
holding to the shattered rigging as the
boat fioundered shoreward. Near him
his son Hugh, chung to a battered rail,
and the one hand. named McAllister.

1--WE can't last another five minutes,
lads" said the skipper. Look out for
yourselves, lads, and God be wi YOU"
Then a great wave rose under them
ninging the smack upon tho reefs. All
three men headed Tor the rocks. Aided
by the belt the skipper landed first.

But it was daylight when the body

CHAPTER XIII.
In Durance Vile.

Perhaps half an our had elapsed,
hen the stout Tcuton merchant raised
is head and with eager eyes surveyed
the corner where Paul was sprawled
out asleep.
Convinced that everything was pro-
p%itious, he gave the foot of the young
er tourist a sudden kick that brought
the scholar erect at once.
The merchant pointed and grinned,
whereupon the other arose and APP
preached Paul, who still slept on, ut
terly unconscious of impending woe.
They seized upon the American.
Paul struggled desperately-alas! he
was taken at such disadvantage that
he found himself almost powerless
against these men.
One had a knee upon his chest and
was choking him, while the other
gathered his hands together and pro-
ceeded to tie them in a most ignomi-
NOUS fashion.
When this had been accomplished
they suffered Paul to rise, which he
did with alacrity. at the same time
demanding to know what such an in
dignity meant, and threatening them
with all manner Of punishment when
their destination was reached.
But all that had no effect, so Paul
lay back in his corner and thought.
Again that laugh in the adjoin-
ing compartment.
Like a flash 1t came to him where he
had heard that CHEEKY sound before.
1t was the English surgeon who had
stood at his back in the student duel,
and whose words of genuine sympathy
and good luck he could distinctly re-
member. What would not the big
Briton do to the pretended keepers
once he was let loose among them?
Then Paul considered that the Eng
lishman might fail him-might prove
a myth, after all, so he set about to
free himself from his bonds.
1t was hard work, but at last-how
he breathed a sigh of relief when the
stretched bonds fell off his wrists.
Free again, thank heaven! and ere
he would allow those ignominious
arms he would die.
NOW, 10 lay hold or the weapon.
Steady! one of the fellows was eye
ing him in a suspicious manner, and
it would not do to let the game be dis
covered at this stage.
AS the man rose from his seat and
drew back the travelling rug, the Am
erican struck him with all his force
at the same time springing to his feet
He reached now for the firearm.
The situation took a sudden turn
however, from the plan of campaign
which he had laid out, for Just at thi'
interesting moment there came seyera
shril pipings from the motor ahead

heaval that betokened a serious acct

CHINA'S CREDIT BAD.
PEOPLE HAVE NO CONFIDENCE IN
THE GOVERNMENT.
Native journal Comments on the Dif-
ference Bctwecn Its Own Country
and tho wcstcrn Nntions-Use of u
National Debt.

The Shen Pao, a Chinese journal,
Iaments tha fact that the Chinese peo-
pie are not as ready as people In the
West to lend money to the govern
ment. In China the rulers look upon
the empire as a family to be admins
tered for their private advantage. In
Western lands the people are the king
dom and the rulers act according to
that principle.
For example. IL a wealthy land owner
wishes to borrow money and applies to
his children and servants they are all
willing to help him according to their
ability. for they know the land owner
has property enough to make repay
ment sure. Now, the emperor Is tho
father and mother of his people. Why
Fan mo- he, on the same principle.
borrow money from his people? 1t
must be because they do not trust him.
All foreign countries have national
debts, which they owe to their W
people chiefly and only TO other coun-
tries in II smaller degree. The govern
monts have no difficulty in floating
''hhS' NHl'H arc at bl't 'oN'iCu ny
their own people, who have such on
hdcnCe in their governments that they
lend money freely. There Is mutual
rust and love between upper and lower
'lasses. Even II the time for repay-
ncnt IL hundreds of years off they
10 not mind. for they know they will
get their interest as long as the king
lon lasts.
How different IL Is In China. The
people will not lend their money to the
state, and no promise will move them.
The curious thing IL that tho bigger
he national debt of these foreign com
tries the more prosperous Is the
try. Thus, Japan is an instance In
point. This Is because the money was
borrowed for the benefit of the people.
that railways. etc, might be built. In
ismuch as much money has been
loaned to Japan by other states these
are unwilling to injure her by going
% wal with her. Now, Turkey Is load
ed with debt and seems an exception
o the rule above enumerated. But she
only proves the rule. Why is she so
poor? Because she borrowed money
and wasted 1t. She did not use 1t to
build public works. which would bring
in vast profits. If China borrows for
right uses n national debt need be no
hindrance to her prosperity; nay, It
may be an indispensable help on the
path of progress.

had from the statement Of the presi-

there that New York has become the
greatest hotel center in the world. 1t
has more hotels than London, Paris
and Berlin combined. There are
twice as many hotels In New York to-

Could DO u Good Act.
He was a largo man with a large
mustache and an aggressive way. 1t
was New Years eve, and he was
monopolizing at least one-third OF the
bar In q Sixth venue drinking place.
Over In one corner there was q feeble
gas stove, which a man was embracing
in a futile effort to get warm. His
lips were blue with the cold, and while
he rubbed his hands his eyes wander
ed from one to the other of the hag-
gard dishes on the free lunch counter.
There were a great many men in the
place. Suddenly the big man went into
action. From each of the many men
he demanded a dollar. No one stopped
% reason why. He was a large man
and his way was aggressive. When
ne had received his toll from them all
ae thrust his hand In his own pocket,
.ook the first bill his fingers touched
it was a ten-and, crumpling it in
with the others, approached the man
that was embracing the feeble stove.
Get out O. here" he demanded, catch
ing him by the shoulders and showing
him toward the door, land take this
with you," thrusting the crumpled up
bills into tine mans pocket. There was
a look Of contentment on the faces OF
the many men. Sometimes 1t seems
pleasantest to contribute to the charity

MEMBERS OF SACRED COLLEGE.
Italians Have Majority In Selecting q
New Pope.

New Pope.
The sacred college enters on the
new year so nearly complete as to
mark a new record. The plenum is
seventy. and there are now sixty-six
red hats, with heads under them, IL
n may so express 1t, which leaves
little or no margin, as 1t Is a tradi-
ton to leave the number of the princes
of the church incomplete. At the be-
ginning Of 1900 there were only fifty
six; during the year two have died,
and twelve have been created. During
the twenty-four years of Leo KILLS
pontificate nc fewer than 1877 cardinals
have died. Recently the sacred college
was SO reduced as to have only fifty
one members, and was REINFORCED by
only one consistory by the creation OF
twelve cardinals, who substantially
modified that institution, and who will
have a notable influence on the cleo
ton of a new pope, says the Pail Mall
Gazette.
The proportion of foreign and Italian
princes of the church, which until re-
cent years had been kept about equal.
Is now, however, much altered, the
Italians being In the majority. In fact.
the sacred college is at present COM
posed Of forty Italians and twenty
six of other nations; of these seven
are French. six Austro-Hungarian, one
Portuguese, one Belgian, one Ameri-
can. one English, one Irish, etc. Given
that the sixty-six cardinals all enter
the conclave. the Italians would at
once be in the majority in favor OF
their W countrymen, a majority OF
one only being necessary to make the
election valid. But agreement Is nee
essary, and this is the saving clause in
favor of the minority, which can make
their weight felt through the disagree
ments of the others.
