Affections of Home.

If ever household affections and loves are
graceful things, they are graceful in the
poor. The ties that bind the wealthy and
the proud to home may be forged on earth,
but those which link the poor man to his
humble hearth are of the true metal, and
high descent may love the halls and lands
of his inheritance as part of himself, as
trophies of his birth and power; the poor
man's attachment to the tenement he holds
which strangers have held before, and may
tomorrow occupy again, has worthier
root, struck deep into purer soil. His
household gods are of flesh and blood, with
no allsy of silver, gold or precious stones; !;
he has no property but in the affections Of
his own heart. and when they endear bare
floors and walls, despite of toll and scanty
meals, that man has his love of home from
God, and his rude hut becomes solemn
place.-Charles Dickens.

why Not Name County Roads,

The naming Of the roads, says the
Grand Rapids Herald. is something
that should have been attended to long
ago Every main road and every cross
road i'll the country ought to have its
official title. just as do the streets and
avenues in the city. The roads are all
laid out OH the map, but they are un-
named, and to attempt to address a
farmer ct his home residence, except,
perhaps, i'll the most general way, is
impossible The Board OF Supervisors
might we'll appoint a committee or
commission to name the roads in the
county, and in selecting names it would
be we'll to honor the sturdy pioneers
who settled in the neighborhoo,]

easily addressed by his street and

PROBABLY A BIG LIE.
TrimbIe's Stomach Said to Have
Been Full of Hardware.

A young man of the name of Trim.
BILE presented himself at hospital in
Buffalo, N. Y, the other day, saying
that heshad dull pains in the stomach
and thought he must be suffering from
indigestion. An examination was
made, and the physicians agreed that
it was Indigestion, and in so unusual
form that the knife must be used.
The patient was placed upon the table
and an incision was made. When the
surgeons had concluded they had ex-
tracted from the mans stomach 453
carpet tacks, forty-Cne small knife
blades, 143 screw nails, forty pin
points, - ounces of ground glass and
a wire chain three and a half inches
in length. Trimple said he had nc
idea what it was that had made him
sick. The doctors are incliued to the
opinion that it was the amount and
variety of the hardware with which he
had loaded his internal economy.

RECORDER GOFF A SLEUTH.
His Intuition Led to Identification
of a Prisoners Confederate.

Recorder Golf of New York brought
about the capture of an alleged high
wayman in his courtroom the other
day and committed the man to the
Tombs, says the New York Times.
Charles Mccarthy of New York was
on trial charged with highway robbery
in saloon, the complainant being John
Connolly, aged siXty-fve, of the Bronx,
who said that Mccarthy had a con-
federate.
When the recorder had heard the old
mans story, he ordered the attendants
to close the doors of the courtroom and
not to allow anybody to leave.
''Now, Mr.. Connolly" he said to the
witness, "go among the spectators and
see if you can find McCarthy's COM
panion."
The old man seemed not to under
stand at first, but he made his way to
the spectators seats outside the railing.
He went among the crowd for about
ten minutes, peering into the face OF
each man there. Finally he stopped at
one of the rows of seats in the rear
and gazed hard at a young man seated
in a corner
THAT'S the man, your honor" he eX-
claimed in voice that was shri1 and
loud so that all the courtroom could
hear him, pointing at the young man,
who attempted to conceal his features
The recorder ordered the court otti-
GERS to bring the young man before
him. He gave his name as Edwin
Cahoon, and he did not say anything to
indicate that Connolly had made mis-
take. He was led away to the Tombs'
and the trial was resumed, with the
result that Mccarthy was convicted OF
robbery in the first degree.

AtIanta'S New Depot.

From the savannah PRESS
Don't you hear those people weeping
oh, my brothers? The Atlanta depot,
about which We have heard so much
and seen so little, has also been sub
mitted to the scaling process. ln print
this structure has lined up from a mill
lion-dollar temple down. Now we hear
that it is to be not more than hall a
million. Further reports are awaited
with anxiety. The year is young yet,
and no one knows exactly what may
happen by the time the cornerstone OF
economy is fully laid. The state and
the railroads have both tried their
hands at depot building in Atlanta,
but somehow the soil in Atlanta won t
sprout depots. They are planted with
great show, the crop grows OFF well,
but the city never secures a good
stand. Then about the time for the
plant to bloom there comes a frost, a
killing frost.

ROUNDUP OF LIQUOR MEN.
Maine Saloon Keepers Pay Fines
and Resume Operations.

The annual roundup of the Maine
liquor dealers was begun a few days
ago, and is said to be progressing sat-
isfactorily to the officials who collect
the fines. AS is very well known,
Maine has a very strict prohibition
law on her statute books; nevertheless
saloons flourish in and about every
Maine city of any size, and erybody
knows of their operation. In Bangor
there are POO saloons regularly dol ng
business. Last Thursday complaints
against Bangor's saloon-keepers were
filed, and they at once began ap'
pearing in court voluntarily and plead
ing guilty to violating the prohibition
law and paying their fines. The aver
age Iine amounted to S2l0, or less than
a license tax would be. In two d9ys
tnesaggregating S10.522 had been col
lected. Having paid their fines, the
saloonkeepers return to their places OF
business in the full assurance that they
will not be molested again for twelve
months.

Eggs and Salad In His Hat.

Charles BIazee, a cook employed at
the keystone restaurant in the Penn
sylvania railroad station at Jersey City,
was arraigned before Police Justice
Hoos In Jersey City the other day,
charged with robbing the restaurant
larder, says the New York Tribune.
When they searched him, the police
say, they found in the high hat he
wore a dozen eggs wrapped in a paper
and a tomato can filled with chicken
salad and about his waist a towel in
which a dozen lamb chops were con-
cealed.

Georgia Syrup Setting Scarce.

The syrup crop seems to have been
quickly taken up. 1t has become al
ready scarce article in this country.
The dealers have about disposed of all
their holdings and the crop appears to
be all marketed. The Allen & Holmes
wholesale grocery house is the largest
dealer here. Their man on the road
has been instructed to buy all he can
get, but there is none to buy. They
are unable to supply the demands
made upon them for syrup. They had
an order this week from an adjoining
state that they could not fill. The
price of barrel syrup is now up to
thirty cents without much regard for
quality. AMI the prices will doubtless
go much higher. -Moultrie Observer.

Supposed Corpse Revives When
Being Prepared for Burial.

Miss Edith Curzon, of Red Bank, N.

after her family thought her dead.
She posed as the Goddess of Liberty
in Red Banks Washington birthday
parade and caught cold which pros

Last week she died, apparently, and
an undertaken was called in. AS he

that the right arm that had lain out
side the bed spread was now drawn up
near the face. Then he noticed an

the slight spark of life, and after a

what was going on.
Today she is improving, with every

STARVING ON A TRAIN.
HARD WORK rs BEING DONE TO GET
RELIEF TO THOSE IN DANGER.
Fifty Three Passengers on Board Suf.

from Nearest Point of Relief.

A Halifax, N. S., dispatch says bur-
ed in wastes of snow and with biz
zard raging an .eastbound express on
the Newfoundland railroad that left
Port Aux Basques for ST. Johns more
than week ago is stalled helpesslY
20 miles from the nearest point OF re-
lief. Fifty-three passengers are on
board at the point of starvation. The
train is stalled near the head of Sandy
lake, on the Great Topsails plateau.
Another train, the westbound ex-
press, that left ST. Johns on Thursday
of last week. is blizzard bound at Mil
lertown junction. There are AZ men
and one woman on board.
Passengers on the eastbound express
are in the more serious plight A
message has been received that all the
provisions are about exhausted. The
coal supply has run out and the wood
work of the cars is being used for fuel.
On the plateau the blizzard has been
raging for ten days. The snow is
banked Is feet high for miles, and it is
easy to step from the top of it to the
roofs of the cars.
A party of 30 men has been battling
for days in an attempt to reach the
stalled express. A relief train jumped
the track Thursday evening, the en-
CINE and snow pillow being ditched.
Tho westbound express will be re-
lieved in day or two by two dog sleds
of provisions from Millertown, Is miles
away. Then the teams will have to
push on across the dreadful Topsails
to the remoter and more endangered
party at Sandy lake. The battle with
the 30 miles of unbroken snow drifts
promises to be heroic.

u that was recovered. The money is
nnnosed to be safely hidden, or rest
49, in the hands of some unknown &C
.omnIice, who is expected to turn a
large portion of it over to Beeler when
bo regains his liberty.
II is known that the defrauded ex-
orpss company has engaged detectives

from the time he leaves the prison
,oors with a view to locating the
stolen money or at least some portion
otit After Beeler was convicted the
company sued him and obtained judg-
ment for $4,000.
Charles A. Beeler had been with
the Wells. Fargo Express company for
manv wears, working up from an in
significant post.
The funds referred to, amounting to
Az 900, consisted of shipment of cash
from Houston to San Antonio, and
was to be used in paying off the en-
Moves of the Southern Pacific railroad
west of that city. It was consigned TO
the paymaster there.
Beeler took the money package from
the Office safe, duly receipted it and
drove away, ostensibly to deliver it to
the paymaster, whose car was to go
4 west later IN tne DAY.
1t was early in the morning when
Beeler left with the S52, 900 in his GUS
tody That was the last seen of him.
\ At first twas supposed the delivery
had been made. Toward the middle
I of the afternoon the paymaster called
up the express office and asked
that the money be sent over immedi-
stely, as his car was ready to proceed
4 on the westward trip.
After long search on the part of
the officers Beeler was located and ar
4 rested in Mexico, duly eXtradited and
4 landed in jail in San Antonio. Elk
cepting the SO mentioned above no
trace of the enormous sum of money
that disappeared with Beeler was ever
A found.
When the trial came up Beeler took
short cut to avoid the legal probing,
and pleaded guilty to embezzlement.
q The jury assessed his punishment at 8
years in the penitentiary.
After DOMINIC the stripes Beeler
continued to keep his own counsel,

on him without a murmur, and secur-
ed all the communication time posi-
bic on the contingency of good beh av-
Tor. The demands of the Grimm al law
have been met, and the prison doors
Il gave exit to a rich man.
Beeler has stead lastly refused to
even discuss the theft OF the money
with officials OF either the express
company or the law, and has returned
threats and ent reaties alike with an
Indifference that has been tantaliz
