the churchyard of ST. John at Jack
sonville. The church is situated on
one of the highest and most slightly
knobs in Jacksonville, and the propo-
sltlon was to put the grave right in the
middle of a splendid lawn which
stretches in front. It was planned
to build a monument there. Now 1T
happened that among the parishion-
ers of ST. John was a family named
L'Engles, very old and wealthy, de-
scendants of the Huguenots. They
objected decidedly to turning the
lawn into a cemetery and they did
not hesitate to express their opin-
ion. Their opposition prevented the
bishops burial in the spot his adj
mirers desired.
Not much ground for feud there,
it may be said. But Bishop Young
was a brother in law of John Stock
ton, and Stockton never forgave the
affront He and his brothers de-
clared war on the. L'Engles. They
withdrew from the church and built
one of their own. Whenever a Len
gle or a friend of the L'Engles be-
came candidate for office the Stock
tons took off their coats to beat him,
and the L'Engles retaliated in kind
In time the entire state divided polit-
ically along the lines of the feud.
The Stocktons kept Call in the SEN
ate for several terms. They elected
his successor in Senator Mallory. but
they were beaten when Taliaferro
became candidate, greatly to the
disgust of John Stockton, who was
at one time Ialiaferro's law partner
and friend
John Stockton is going to come out
into the open the next time and Tai
iaferro may have to go by the board.

tion-Beniamin not William H.,-for
these ruins lay no claim to even the
antiquity of the middle of last cen
tury-two brothers named Baltzley,
fired with imagination, picked out a
ruggedly beautiful spot on the Poto-
mae, just outside the city limits,
which they believed contained the
possibilities of a resort which would
rival anything to be found IN the
United States. 1t was a wild place,
with splendid trees. bold slopes:
rocks, caverns. and here and there
a stretch of green. No more roman
tic spot could have been found. 1t
was convenient to the town by troll
ley, and the imaginative Baltzleys
gathered the money or the credit
several hundred thousand dollars in
all-built casinos and theaters of
stone-laid out woodland paths, set
fountains to playing, and altogether
transformed it into place of tan
talizing delight. They called it Glen
Echo.
They built mansion for them
selves and sold land in the neighbor-
hood at fabulous prices. Nearly a
million dollars was invested in one
way or another, and then came the
financial crash of 1898 and all was
over.
All was not lost, however, for just
at that time the Chautauqua craze
was at its height and Chautauqua
association bought the property for
100000. Then the Chautauqua inter
est died out, and after ftful at
tempts at summer gardens with
cheap theatrical companies the place
was abandoned to it's fate
A few days ago the entire property
was sold under mortgage for $4,000,
which hardly represents the value. Of

TRANSFERS STRIKE.
Drivers in ST. Louis Quit Work, But
Are Ordered to Resume
at Once.

st. Louis, May 29-The Transfers
of the national anu the interna tionaI
unions who at special meeting
Wednesday night decided to strike in
sympathy with the freight handlers,
despite the councils and protests of
their officials went out Thursday. The
strike, however, was not as unanimous
as was anticipated. There are 5000
teamsters in ST. Louis, but less than
1000 obeyed the strike order. During
the afternoon j. B. Fitzpatrick, organ
izer of the National Transfers union,
arrived from Denver, and at once took
steps to check the strike. Mr.. Fitz-
patrick issued an order directing all
striking members of the union to re-
turn to work by Saturday under pen
atty of expulsion from the union. He
declared the strike was unauthorized,
andwas without official sanction. This
order had the effect of causing many
strikers to resume work iEmediat ely
At meeting of the joint executive
council composed of officers of the
16 locals of the Transfers National
union, held Thursday night, the ac-
ton of the individual transfers in
declaring strike was unanimously
denounced and all members were or
dered to return to work this morn
ing. After the result of this meeting
was announced the teamsters held an
Independent meeting. The majority
of them declared they will disregard
the order to resume work and in case
of expulsion from the union will join

TURKEYS IN RED COATS.
Maryland Spinster First Plucked the
Birds and Then Supplied Them
with Warm Clothing.

Miss Sallie Blake, who lived il
Calvert county, Md, some years ago,
was in the habit of gathering
cnicken-grapes in the autumn, and
making them into medicines by pre-
serving them in spirits.
1t happened once, after the con-
tents of a jar containing the decoc-
ton had been exhausted, that Miss
Blake emptied the iquor-soaked
grapes on the ground. Here her fine
brood of turkeys quickly gobbled
them, relates the Baltimore Sun.
Presently Miss Blake found the
turkeys lying on the ground and, not
realizing the cause of their stupor,
she thought they, were dead. In or
der to realize something from the
feathers, she had the turkeys picked.
The carcasses were thrown outdoors.
The next morning there was
great hue and cry from the servants
in the backyard, and, looking out of
the window, Miss Blake saw her tur-
keys walking about, absolutely bare
except for few tail and wing feath-
ers
In order to protect them from the
cold, the good old woman bought
enough red flannel to make each tur-
key a comfortable garment. Very
soon, to the wonder of the neighbora
far and wide, Miss Blake's turkeys
stall1ed abroad, wearing their red
coats with the same easy grace with
which they had worn their feathers.

White Ants as Dainty.

A recent book on the Congo Free
State gives this picture of the fond
ness of the natives for white ants:
IN the white ant month the natives
have very busy time. The river is
deserted, and men and women, boys
and girls, go out to gather the white
ants for food. / cannot say l adj
mire their taste; but the white ant
is not SO bad for food-merely very
rich. In this month he is about an
inch long; the natives gather him in
hundreds, pull off the wings and
roast him. The native boys have a
shorter way with him. Sometimes at
mess white ants Topped on the ia
bic, attracted by the light. The
boys. who were waiting, poupced on
them, and without further ceremony
popped them into their mouths"

cause be was the last person who ever
saw Lincoln IN the white house-the
one who babe him good-by when he
set out for Ford's theater that Hateful
night-who closed the door on him as
he went down the steps.
'''Good night, Pendel,' were his very
words to me as I opened the front door

the very words with which the faithful

visitors after he has shown them

the blue room and the state dining

chief delight is in revealing his identity
to sightseers, who always look him
over with the same degree of interest
that they would study piece of parch-
ment dating back to the days of the
Ptolemies.
Pendel tells a good story-how about
ten o'clock on the dread night he saw
a confused mass of lights approaching
the white house-a sharp ring at the
ibell-Charles Sumner at the door ask

turned and if anything had happened
