CAMPAIGN STORY.
Manager Tapp and Candidate
EStilI Meet.

One of the best political stories of
the gubernatorial campaign is going
the rounds in Savannah. It is sub
stantially to this effect: When Colo
mel Estill was in Atlanta last he bad a
chance meeting with Mr.. Sidney G..
Tapp, who is Colonel Guerry's cham
paign manager.
"Why, hello; how are you?" said
Tapp, extending his hand.
"Quite well, thank YOu-glad to
see you," replied the colonel.
when did you get back from Wash
ington?" Mr. Tapp asked.
Washington? | haven't been to
Washington.
1.-The dickens you haven't. Then
where have you been?"
'FAll over the state, SIR"
"All over the state?" replied Tapp,
incredulously.
''Yes," answered the colonel posi-
lively, and seeing the Quizzical ex-
preston on the face of his new-fOund
friend, added: "Who do you think l
ann"
"why, YOU are Lon Livingston,
aren't you?"
"Not much" replied the colonel. 81

THE CORONATION BAG.
Latest Idea in Fashionable Wrist
Bags for Women.

Among the fashionable accessories OF
the feminine costume which have been
named in honor Of the coming royal
ceremonies in England is the corona
ton wrist bag" which in it's newest
and smartest form is of walrus hand-
somely mounted in gilded silver, says
the Philadelphia Times. The bag Is
somewhat narrower at the clasp than
at the bottom, where it has a pointed
effect. An artistic coronation bag in
beige covered walrus has a clasp Of
gilded silver which also forms the
chain and the graceful scroll orna-
mentation applied along the bottom Of
the front of the bag.
The bag closes with two acorns form
ed of turquoise nuts set in cups Of the
gilded silver. The front Of the bag is
arranged with flap which opens with
a turquoise cabochon button, revealing
a pocket to receive the handkerchief.
The lining is Of MORE silk, the delicate
beige tint of which harmonizes with
the ivory hue Of the leather.
Equally artistic is a coronation bag
of black walrus similarly adorned with
silver edged mountings and scroll orna-
mentation and acorn cups holding
amethyst nuts, the deep luminous pur-
pie of which is repeated in the color Of
the MORE lining. A bag of tan walrus
is still another variation Of these arts
tically designed and created requisites
of the fashionable woman's costume.
and in this the nuts reposing in the
gilded cups are of polished coral.

MUMMIFIED CATTLE.
Herd of 10000 Died and Dried
I'd i'm the Desert.

SIN crossing the Colorado desert in
Arizona one sees frightful mOnn-
ment TO the folly of man who thought
that he could drive cattle across the
desert with such speed that water
would be unnecessary, said Mr. S. T.
James, of San Francisco, at the New
Willard Hotel. "More than 10000
carcasses lie at the Pools in the desert
and remind all travellers of the gigan-
tic scheme to drive cattle through a
desert country without making any
provision for water. 1t was 80 years
ago that an extensive cattle man, who
was not familiar with the great desert
IF the southwest. thought it would be
no barrier to his plan OF taking cattle
across it from the west into the graz
ing country. When the cattle reach
ed the Pools, which as small lakes OF
four allkali water, they were so Graz
ed by thirst that they killed each
other in their attempt to get at the
water. The air in that country is so
dry and the sun so hot that carcasses
dry up instead of decomposing. AS
one approaches that great herd of
animals the carcasses look as though
they were poorly feed cattle. The
hair has not fallen from the carcasses,
and they have maintained their origi-
nal shape so we'll that a man who is
not familiar with the desert country

RICH NEGRO OF GUATEMALA
Born an American Slave lie Is
Now a Millionaire.

Guatemala possesses rarity in an
American negro who is millionaire.
His name is John Knight, and he was
born in Alabama before the war.
Knights immense fortune consists of
gold mines, coffee plantations, enor-
, nous banana plantations, farms OF va
nilla beans and banking and steamboat
stock. He also enjoys the income from
100000 which the Guatemalan gov
eminent borrowed from him some time
ago, and on which it has paid the in
terest pretty promptly for a Central
American republic. The golden negro
lives in beautiful house on the oat-
skirts Of the city of Guatemala, and is
busy looking after his vast commercial
interests.
Knight never knew his father, be-
cause his parents, who we're slaves,
we're separated by sale just before he
was born. His mother became the
property of Daniel Upton, who had
plantation at Dade Vile, TallaDoosa
county, Ala. The Upsons we're kind
to their slaves, and John was taught
to read and write, and also taught the
rudiments of arithmetic. He was a
bright lad and soon became valuable
to his master, who gave him positions
of trust on the plantation.
About the time of the breaking out
of the war Upton died, and John was
sold to the owner OF cotton plantation
10 so lthern Alabama. Here Ills new
master, after while, made him over
seer of the plantation, and for several
years he had charge of the gathering
and pressing OF cotton and its shipment
TO New Orleans.
After the war knight went to Yucca
tan, where he became boss over men
engaged in packing and shipping fruit
to the New Orleans market. Here he
saved his money, and investing it WISE
~ soon accumulated a little fortune,
eventually branched out into other in
dustries, and became rich. He is now
an old man, but is hale and hearty. He
has taken every opportunity to edu-
cate himself, and as the color line is
not drawn closely in Guatemala his
home is something of a social center,
where he entertains the biggest OF
men in the republic.
