GaIveston's Great Sea Wall.

z Galvesuon's great sea wall having
been completed, the second and still
more costly preventive measure
against storm damage is being taken.
The sea wall is seventeen feet above
mean tide level, and the grade of the
city is to be brought Up to the level OF
the wall. Sand for the tlling.in is
being dredged from the bottom OF the
harbor and pumped into the city.
Some eight blocks at a time are being
thus treated. The houses are temper
arily raised from their foundations
while the sand is being pumped in.
The sea wall cost 81, 100000. Raising
the grade of the city will cost 81, 1885,
900 which is secured by the state
remitting taxes in Galveston for seven
teen years to enable the city to provide
a sinking fund and interest for the
bond issue.

COTTON PICKING MACHINE.
Civil Engineer Will Test Won
derful Invention.

After three years of tire.ess work
and hard study Capt. j. M. Searles, a
we'll known civil engineer of Vicks.
arg, Miss, has, in the opinion of a
number of experts, solved the problem
of a successful cotton picking machine.
He has had his invention, which is of a
novel character, duly patented. A full
sized working machine will be COM
pleted in few days, and as soon as
the present cotton crop is sufficiently
matured, the machine will be given a
test. A number of prominent men OF
Mississippi have carefully inspected
the new machine and believe it will
prove success.

CAN'T CROW AT NIGHT.
Trouble Caused by ROSTERS
Penetrating Voice.

In the police court of Washington,
D. c., recently Judge Scott decided
that a rooster may not with impunity
crow at 2:3O a. M, not even if his name
is Chauncey NJ. Depew. Chauncey is
a pet rooster and the property of
Joseph r. Webster, taxpayer and a
resident OF Chaplin street. George S.
Ely, also a tax payer, who lives on the
opposite side of the street, complained
of the chanticleer, which, he said lis
possessed of penetrating voice like
the popular statesman for whom he is
named and frequently raises his voice
aloft as early as 2:30 in the morning"
81 visited Mr.. Webster" Mr.. Ely
told the court, land complained TO him
about the rooster, and he told me that
he didn't invite me into the peighbor-
hood, and that since | was there |
should accept the conditions as l found
them"
Webster denied that the fowl be-
longed to him aud explained that it
was the property of his daughter.
"Chauncey Depew is kept in close con-
fnement in the rear of my house, fully
250 feet from Mr.. ElV's home. and am
sure it does not make as much noise as
do the milk wagons which traverse
the street during the early morning
hours" he added.
Judge Scott announced that the milk
wagons were not complained against
but the rooster was, and that here was
nothing left for him to do but to fine
the owner 81, but if he was brought
into court the second time he would
pronounce the death sentence on
ChaunceY.
Webster paid the fine.

FRANCIS GODFATHER
At christening of Filipino Boy
Named for Him.

An unique christening of Filipino
boy, born on July 6, at which Presi-
dent Francis acted as godfather, took
place at :the PHILIPPINE reservation in
St. Louis few days ago. AS the boy
was named Louis Francis Silva, in
honor of St. Louis and President
Francis, his father said that he should
be the happiest youngster in the Phil
ippines.
After President Francis had solemn
~ taken pledges to look after the well
fare of his god son he walked to the
door of the chapel and rocked the
baby in his arms to the amusement of
the spectators, but not until the little
fellow was in his mothers arms did he
cease his crying.
Among the presents to the Filipino
infant was an elegant service, the
gift of President Francis. The Fill
pinos celebrated the occasion with a
fiesta,

MINISTER WOULD SPECULATE
Would Have Invested in Futures
If He Had Known Price.

At an all-day meeting at Good Hope
Baptist church in Chattahoochee
county the subject of cotton futures
was discussed nearly all day, says a
special from Columbus.
One minister in attendance said that
if he had known last fall what the
price of cotton would be this summer
he would be richer by thousands OF
dollars now, as he would have availed
himself of the information. This min
lister was alone in his position, all the
Others condemning speculation.
One farmer, a prominent Chatta-
hoochee county Baptist, said ne specu-
lated in cotton last fall, but that 1T was
too fascinating, and he would advise
his brethren against it. 1t is said
that he made $1,000 out of futures.

electric lights of various colors. Sur
rounding this fountain are four plate
glass columns, illuminated, two filled
with soap and two with different
grades of cottons eed oil.
The general agriculture display IN
space "A, practically in the center OF
the palace of agriculture, presents to
the inquiring public an absolute re.
futation of the idea that Georgians do
not, or cannot subsist on exclusively
home products. There are Sc varieties
of hay, so odd varieties of peas, mag
nifcent case of Georgia meats and
Georgia corn, showing that hog and
hominy" is raised at home. A full and
complete exhibit of grasses aud grains
of all kinds, pecans, groundpeas, corns,
cottons, and in fact all things that go
to make up a complete agricultural
display, are included.
Very few are aware of the extent OF
the tobacco industry of the state, and
the exhibit in tobacco has excited uni
versal admiration, not only from Geor-
gians visiting the fair, but also those
interested in tobacco manufacture and
culture everywhere.
The Georgia state building, as is
! generally known, was built by funds
contributed by the different cities of
the state, the materi al for which came
from the Georgia saw mill association,
under the direct supervision of Capt.
H. H. Tiff of Triton, Ga. The building
is complete in every respect, and at
tracts as much, If not more, attention
than any on the grounds, owing to the
fact of it's being reproduction OF
Sutherland" the home of General
John B. Gordon, a typical southern
home. 1t is the only building on the
grounds entirely furnished with ma
terial made and brought from home.
The Georgia commissioners esteem
! it pleasure and privilege to receive
any and all Georgians and aid them 10
making the necessary comparisons for
their own satisfaction.

MODERN CHICKEN FARM
PROFITABLE INVESTMENT
One at Bona Bella Near Savannah a Fine Example of
New Industry, and Being Well Worked. About
1000 Chickens at Present on the Farm.

lime, gravel and grit The last named
material is broken granite and is
brought all the way from New Hamp-
shire.
The greater number of pullets are
reserved to increase the number of
layers, while the cockerels are sold for
table use. The proportion of BOOSTERS
in an average hatch of eggs is little
over one-half. The proportion kept in
the flock of breeders is one to twelve
hens. The present stock on the farm
consists of 600 pullets, 900 cockerels,
$50 One-year olds and $50 two-year
olds.
The quarters for the chickens con-
sisu of ten houses which will accommo-
date 100 fowls each, twelve houses for
the young chickens and twelve mating
houses. These quarters are kept in
the best of condition, being kept clean
and wholesome by daily cleaning, and
freed from insects and parasites by
being sprayed once week with So
luton of bromo-naptholium with
which all parts of the quarters are
sprayed. The efficacy of the precau-
ton is shown by the fact that no dis
temper has ever been known among
the chickens, and the loss of life is
exceedingly small.
Possibly another reason for this sat-
isfactory condition of affairs is to be
found in the fact that Mr.. Saussy has
caused to be bored an artesian we'll
and has system of pipes that furnish
a constant supply of pure water in ev-
cry pen.
Chickens are not the only interest
at the farm, however, for many crops
are grown on the lands, large guam
tity Of pears, figs and peaches being
the principal ones. There is a grove
of forty pecan trees bearing, and the
farm also supports number Of COWS
of good breed, and nucleus OF drove
that Mr.. Saussy intends to secure with
a view of conducting a dairy farm in
connection with his chicken raising.

TO KEEP PROMISE TO DEAD
Italian Will Wed GRANDFATHER
of a Friend.

Pasquale Vicobella, 78 years old, a
veteran of the Garibaldi campaign left
Philadelphia for Italy, where he will
be married to 12-year old girl whom
he has never seen, says press dis
patch from Philadelphia. The wedding
will be in compliance with death-be
promise made to the grandfather of
the prospective bride.
Vicobell and Giuseppi Peardino, the
grandfather Of the girl, were raised
together and for many years were in
'separable. When the war broke out
in Italy they joined Aribaldi's army
and fought side by side throughout
that trouble. The close friendship
continued for a mum Der of years, when
a woman came between them. Both
men were enamored of her, but she
became the wife of Peardino. vi
cobella became heartbroken and he
left Italy and went to South America.
This was in 1872, and about II years
ago Pearbino made inquiries concern
ing the whereab bouts of his old friend,
as he desired to see him again before
he died. Through friends he found
him in Philadelphia, and in response
to several letters Vicobella returned
to Italy and while there promised his
old friend that he would marry his
granddaughter, who was then but 4
years of age.
He returned 60 this country and set
tied in Waterford, N. j., where he re-
NAMED until short time ago, when
he came to Philadelphia to live.
