NEW HOUSE CLEANER.
1t Sucks Up the Dirt from the
Floor and Walls.

Advices received at the state depart
ment in Washington from Consul Ma
hin, at Nottingham, England. are to the
effect that a new house cleaning device
is being exhibited in that city.
The apparatus consists of machine
composed of a two to four horse power
motor Toll or electric) and an air pump,
serving to maintain an exhaust" of
several pounds to the square inch. The
machine can be carried on wheels or
be made stationary. To it is attached
q filter the dust receptacle-a tightly
closed metallic vessel with capacity
of a peck or more.
A one and one-half inch rubber hose,
which may be of any desired length up
to 700 feet, is attached to the filter. AT
the end of the hose is cleaner or
"renoyator," which is a tube t1attened
out at the end into a kind Of long slit.
By rubbing this over the carpet or up
and down the cloth covering of settees
or chairs it not only sucks the dust from
the surface, but also from underneath
it. Walls may also be cleaned of dust,
the cleaner being brush Of horseshoe
shape. No dust is raised in a room,
and it can be operated by inexperi'
enced men. These machines are at
present being leased and in no case
sold.

It Is the present intention to close the
north grounds of the White House to
the public as soon as the Improvements
now being made are finished, says
Washington dispatch to the New York
World.
This was talked of during the recon-
struction of the White House, but the
president hesitated to put the order
into effect through fear of a storm of
public disapproval. Since the compile
ton Of the east terrace, through which
visitors enter and leave the east room,
the historic north door of the mansion
has been used as q private entrance,
but people have been allowed to wan
der around the grounds as formerly.
Mrs. Roosevelt and the children, es-
pecially Miss Alice, have been annoyed
at times by people in the grounds peer
ing through the front door and the
windows Of the private dining room.

to their appeal that the grounds are to
be closed when the driveway now

The carriage gates will be closed, and
policemen will be stationed at the
smaller gates to keep out every one but
members of the presidents family and
their callers and personal friends. The
changes that are now being made will
be finished before July 1.
Visitors to the White House then will
be admitted to the east room for four
hours in the day, as now, but they will
enter and leave through the east ter
race, and that is all of the White
House and its surroundings they will
be able to see at close range. The
north grounds will then be as private
as the south grounds have been made
under Mr.. Roosevelt. The north
grounds have never been closed to the
public. President Cleveland closed the
south grounds during his second ad-
ministration because, he said, the peo-
pie passing through annoyed the chill
dren. Mr.. Mckinley threw them open
again, and they remained open until
Mr. Roosevelt came in.

MRS. ]. L. BROOKS KENYON.

MRS. j. L. BROOKS KENYON.
Out beyond the sunset where golden radiance
fingers.
Where crimson clouds of evening stretch across
portals fair,
Free from every care and sorrow, free from every
sad tomorrow.
Where the crystal river flows-she is there
Long she waited for the summons to enter into
rest
With patience and sweetness all untold.
But her soul is dwelling now in the city OF the
blest,
Where the angels lightly touch their harps of
gold.
She has crossed the chilly waters. her feet have
pressed the shore
OF the better land where angels voices rise;
She hath joined the sweet refrain, heard the glad
triumphant strain
AS it sWels and echoes far beyond the skies.
Cease your mourning, we who loved her.
She is waiting; see, with angel hosts she stands
At the pearly gates to meet you BY and by
she will meet you
With smiling lips and loving, reckoning hands
All, yes beyond the sunset with its glory and
glow.
Beyond the skies so wondrously fair
Beyond the purple mist that DER the hills hangs
low
Where the roll is called up yonder-she is there.
When the evening shadows gathered she drifted
into sleep,
And we heaped upon her still heart flowers rare.
In her earth bed she is lying while the stars their
vigils keep,
But her freed and happy spirit is not there.
She has joined the heavenly choir, heard the
summons to come up higher;
In the land of the Lord she is free from every
care.
Gentle mourners, look above in that city where
Gods love
Hath lifted up your lost one-she is there.

DATE PALM CULTURE.
Plan for Growing the Trees in
Deserts of California.

Date palms will be waving their
scrawny arms over the deserts Of
southern California and a new indus
try will soon be founded If a grand
project of the United States depart
ment Of agriculture and the Agricul-
tural college of California, now under
way, turns out as successfully as the
men having to do with It confidently
believe it will turn out, says a San
Francisco special to the st. Louis Re-
public.
Professor A. ]. Peters recently ar
rived at the University of California
from the department of agriculture at
Washington. He is the head Of the de-
partment of seed and plant introduce
ton and distribution and in that ca
pacity directs the gathering and dis
pensing of seeds and plants from all
over the world. Two men under him
do nothing but travel over the face of
the earth to collect seeds and plants
and data for this purpose. They keep
in touch with him, send their collec-
tons to him, and he does the rest.
Now, Professor Peters went to Cali
fornia especially to look into the pro-
posed culture Of the date palm in the
southern California deserts. For long
time the agriculturists have had their
eyes on those great wastes, thinking OF
the great natural possibilities for date
culture The land is bOundlessly
wealthy, having stored up in it all the
properties Of virgin soil. 1t is almost
illimitable in extent and is heated by
the fierce rays of a tropical sun. All it
needs to make it grow date palms Is
water, and all it needs to get water is
irrigation.
Three years ago the department of
agriculture planted number of trees
in the deserts for experimentation pur-
poses, and they have thrived. 1t takes
Eve years for them to mature and bear
fruit. Professor Peters is going to ex-
anime to see how they are getting on.
He recently left with Professor Stu
benrauch for the south. The result of
this trip will be the planting OF more
date palm trees.

Sonny Was Simple.
from the Cuthbert Leader.

From the CuLnDtTI btautI'
Sonny Glover, the Dawson negro who
used to drive the tank wagon OF the
Standard Oil Company, was sentenced
to seven years in the pen at the recent
term of Terrell county superior court
for selling kerosene and approprlatlnP
the proceeds to his own use. 1t was
simple of Sonny to think that he could :.
with impunity, grease the wheels or
commerce with kerosene belonging to
the Standard Oil Company without
making proper returns to that great
trust.

IMPOSED ON THE EDITOR
BASEBALL BOYS TOLD WRONG STORY
ABOUT GAME IN DAWSON.
Americas Second Nine Played Dawson
and Reported the Result of the Game
as 7 to 8 in Their Favor.

1t seems that the Americas Press
was imposed upon q few, days ago by
the second baseball nine of that town,
who informed that paper that they
had defeated a similar nine in Dawson
by score of to 3. In reality the
score stood 10 to in favor of the Daw-
son boys.
The following article from The
Press tells of the deception practiced
by the young baseballists;
TUESDAY the second nine of the
Americas baseball team went down to
Dawson to play game OF ball, and we
hoped they would be able to carry off
the honors and help to smooth out
some of the scars made upon the larger
nine at the last meeting with Dawson.
On this hope we concluded to await
their return on the late train before we
said anything about it. We waited.
CATER the arrival of the train, gust
giving them time to get up from the
depot, crowd of boys came to the Of.
fee as enthusiastic as you ever saw
and put up spell about the game,
giving a score of seven TO three in fa-
vor of Americas.
"But Yesterday morning when we
came down town we found that we had
been mlserablY imposed upon, and
that the game went to Dawson by
about what was given us as score, or
perhaps more, and the whole story
told US was mere clap.trap.
"Well, We'll get over it, but must
confess we were surprised at some of
the young men who told US of the vic
tory.
alt will certainly take an affidavit
next time, in due form of law"

The American dad"

In this day of hero worship
there is one who is frequently over
looked and yet is most deserving
Of consideration, and that is "dad."
He is indebted to the American
habit of phrases and nicknames
for his title, but that should in no.
wise detract from his just deserts.
1t would probably be far more
elegant as we'll Jas respectful to
call him "father," but throughout
the wide domain Of the United
States usage has made HIM known
to time and fame by other names.
He is frequently called "the COVER
nor" "the old man." and in ex-
ceptlonal cases "papa," but none
Of these names seem to fit as we'll
as "dad )" hence he will more than
likely 60 down to posterlty by the
not over euphonious name of "dad''
So much by way Of Introductory,
and now it merits Of question.
Dad, according to the dictionary,
is used only by children and rus
tics, but there is that ring Of sin
~ EHF-
certify in it that entities 1t to con-
sideration, for if we are to look
for sincerity and loyalty we will
find it in children and the rustic.
Irrespective Of that, however,
the, whole world owes dad a mod
est tribute. Essentially he is a
great and an. abiding necessity,
which all recognize without feel
ing obliged to bow in submission
to him. We admit him just as
we do the greatness of George
Washington or any other evident
thing; in fact, familiarity breeds
tolerance, and of.times ocular dis
respect. It is his privilege to work
and make the money, and Tours to
spend it. It is his privilege to
worry and fret about our future,

The Republic of Panama.

The world was last week sur
prised by the announcement that
a new republic had been establish
ed in Panama and was asking for
recognition from the government
as an independent and sovereign
state. The little state had taken
this step on account Of the refusal
of the Colombian government to
ratify the treaty which the United
States had submitted which per-
mitted the latter to construct the
lsthmian canal through Panama,
one of it's states. From all the
facts connected with the case it
looks as if this country was privy
to the deal and is ready to play the
part of a land grabber. The ufti-
mate object of Panama to become
a part of or dependence of this
country, is patent. That Mr.. Roose-
welt will Join In any scheme look
Ing to this end the entire couA-
try is prepared to believe.

buy our railroad tickets, send the
mother and daughters to summer
watering stations, wave them good
bye and then pay weekly drafts
thereafter. There n exceptional
cases where dad shortly after the
departure Of the family occupies
small tables opposite smiling fe-
males who have no right there,
but such exceptions are excep-
tions in very truth, for the average
American dad represents the high
est and best type of American
manhood. 1t is his lot in life to
battle against the wolf at the door,
and it is not infrequently the case
that he wages a losing battle in
silence and his secret is only told
when the end is reached. You
seldom aver find him seeking titles
for his daughters. He"wants them
to marry for love, and even then
is reluctant to agree to a separation.
His browning glory, however, is
his utter abnegations of self. He
demands that mother shall be low
ed and revered aboye all. He is
plouder of the achievements Of his
sons than those of his own, and
throughout life his one thought is
of those around him. Thus it is
that look where you will, You
should find a tribute blazoned
forth to the American dad. He
is like this country OF ours-the
greatest among the great. That
fact in itself assures the success
and prominence of our future a a
nation.-Austin Statesman.
