Wearing of Mourning.
From the New York Times.

1t is commonly believed, or, at least
wear mourning" as an expression of
sorrow. AS a means to that end it does
not commend itself to all, but, while
everybody knows that refusal to fol-
low the custom is apt to cause a lit
tie talk, we find for the first time, in
the Philadelphia Public Ledger, evil
dence that sometimes and to some such
a violation of the conventionals. His
other consequences, including an in
crease of the sorrow to which this
particular expression was refused "a
friend of the writer" the explanation
runs, who had always strongly con-
demned the custom, determined to ig-
more 1t, and adhered to the determina-
ton when she sustained her first be-
reavement in the loss of her mother.
She says that her experiences were
very painful. Every time she encoun-
tered a friend or acquaintance unseen
for short time previously the ques-
ton was invariably asked, How is
your MOTHER and, of course. the re-
sulting explanations were distressing to
the last degree. She was the victim
of this innocent persecution for more
than year, and every repetition of
the incident seemed to reopen her
wound. One can readily see how the
somber garb, proclaiming. as 1t does,
bereavement. inspires acquaintance to
show tact and saves the feelings cor
respondingly." This case must have
had some peculiar features-change Of
residence, or the like-to account for
the fact that friends close enough TO
ask such questions were not better
informed. Usually they would not have
waited for change of garb to tell
them what had happened. However,
the narrative does give to mourning"
the justification of a certain compre-

which relates the circumstances under
which Due Decazes, then Minister of
Foreign Affairs, heard that Lord Der
by had bought 100000 shares of Suez
stock, which gave England control
of the canal. 1t was in 1875, and De
Blowitz writes that he was at the
house of the Minister, watching him
play a game of billiards with lady.
A secretary entered with a packet of
letters and kilograms.
Opening the packet" records De
Blowitz, "the Duke began to read one
of the kilograms. Suddenly he be-
came red, then pale, and wiped his
temples, moist with sweat. Then. as
if maddened, with an irresistible move
ment he took the billiard cue, which
he had put down, struck it on the
rim of the table, broke it across his
knee, and threw the bits into the fire.
The persons present, it may be ina
gined, were in a great state of mind.
Suddenly approaching me, his teeth
set with anger, he said: DO you know
what 1 have just heard? Derby has
just bought 100000 Suez shares from
Ismail. while every possible effort has

And he added, half talking to him
self, Yes. I swear that he shall pay
for it, He then quickly left the room,
and I, too, went out"
De Blowitz sacrificed a great news
paper story to his patriotism, and the
indiscreet Minister, when they met
again, thanked him for his discretion
and kindness.

lating to the Iron Chancellor. Bis
marck had lust come from the nego-
tiations of the treaty of Berlin, and
talked with surprising frankness of the
stupendous events of the time and the
men who helped to shape them. Here
is a portion of the statement of Bis
marck:
THE peace of San Stefano was one
of the most thoughtless actions of mod
ern history. Ignatieff made a blunder
which no true statesman would ever
have committed. He took everything
that he could get When an enemy is
VanquiSAed and one has ones foot on

ever one wants, but one must think

my own though. and since then /

myself that ] did So"
AT these words says De Blowitz
Il could not help looking the Prince
in the face, and he at once read in my
eyes the question that was on my lips,
for without flinching he said:
know what you mean; you are
thinking about the last war. But in
1871 l acted in the same way. At that
time France was in our hands. Paris

TELFAIR GALLERYS
NEW PICTURES
Formal Unwilling VIII Take Place
Next Tuesday,


The unwilling of Director Carl l..
Brandt's new pictures THE Acropolis
at Athens" and THE Campagna Near
Rome" for the Telfair Academy. will
take place next Tuesday.
A reception will be given at
the academy from IL until 2:3O o'clock.
during which the unwilling will take
place. The reception will be similar
to those at which a number of the
chief pictures in the gallery were I'M
yelled. Director Brandt will make a
brief address describing the pictures.
Otherwise the reception will be wholly
informal. The gallery will be decor
ated with palms and flowers and an
orchestra will play during the recep-
ton hours.
At the last reception Mr.. Brandt's
picture, THE Great Pyramids and the
Sphinx of Gizeh" and also the picture,
The Bridge of Life" were unveiled.
On the left of these on the western
wall of the gallery will be viewed the
new picture THE Acropolis" and on
the right The Roman Campagna."
The canvas of each is five and a half
feet in hight and sixteen and a half
feet in length.
Ultimately the panel pictures will be
placed on the western wall of the Hall
of Sculpture. There is great interest
in the new pictures and their unveil-
ing will doubtless be a gathering of
the art lovers of Savannah.

THE INLAND ROUTE VIA
SKIOAWAY NARROWS

A large schooner and a steam yacht
were among the craft which passed
Isle of Hope yesterday, bound south,
through Skidaway Narrows. In spite
of lack of water in the narrows, it
being navigable only at high tide, the
route seems to be preferred by mas
tiers of vessels using the inland route.
Through the efforts of Hon. R. E.
Lester bill was passed by the last
Congress ordering a survey of the Mar
rows with view to securing an ap-
preparation to give a channel a hun
dred feet wide and six feet deep at low
water. Such an improvement would
be a benefit to the entire system of
inland navigation, as it would provide
a safe route for small vessels.

Superinte ndent of Police Asked to
Find Mrs. Alma Jefferson.
Anxious to carry out the wishes of
his brother, by distributing certain
property now in his possession, DR..
L. f. Jefferson of Olustee. Fla, has
asked the superintendent of police to
assist him. The Florida physician
wants to discover the whereabouts of
Mrs. Alma Jefferson, who is supposed
to be in this city.
In his letter to the police chief DIR.
Jefferson states that Mrs. jefferson
and her husband separated in 1901, and
that she came to this city, it is pre-
sumed to live with a sister, Mrs. L..
A. Swindell. Neither the name of Mrs
Swindell nor that of Mrs. jefferson,
appear in the city directory, and the
detectives have endeavored in vain to
locate them. The superintendent of
police is particularly anxious to find
Mrs. Jefferson so that he can put her
in possession of such information as
he has.
