The Italian Baby.

No infant receives a warmer vel.
come to the world or Is more happily
born than the Italian baby. No infant
is the object Of more caresses or Is
more fondly admired Indeed, no mat
ter how poor the mother and father
may be, no matter how large the fam
lily, they have very merry times when
another son OF daughter comes to them.
The neighbors are invited in, a feast
is prepared, q gallon or two OF cheap
wine Is procured, and the merriment
sometimes lasts several days. The
Italian considers there are only three
great events in the life Of man-name-
", his birth, marriage and death.
These three events never pass without
a gorgeous and elaborate celebration.
IN this simple way they strive to carry
out the tender life lesson: when you
were born you wept while those around
you smiled. So live that when you die
you alone may smile and those around
you weep" And so they laugh and
drink wine and sing, for they believe
it will have an effect upon the life OF
the quivering form soon to take Its
place among them.-London Standard

Machinery Of Memory.

The machinery Of memory was thus
interestingly described by an authority
on the brain: "The act of remembering
something" be said, involves a dis
tinct change In tho brain substance.
The thing to be remembered is record
ed by q little nerve cell. The first
time the cell does It's work An impress
sion Is made upon It. But that impress
sion Is apt to wear of unless the ac-
ton OF the cell Is repeated, and the Of
tenes this Is the case the more fixed
becomes the impression, or cell mem
ory,' as it IL called Suppose that the
work Of this particular cell Is to enable
you to recog1bs q certain smell. 1t
the impression Is made but once, the
cell may fail to retain it, but II 1t Is
repeated several times a lasting I'M
preston will be made, and you Will
recognize the particular odor when
you meet with 1t again"

Southern Wit,

In the early days Of the civil war,
says Mrs. D. G. Wright in "a Southern
Girl In 49," many northern senators
were especially violent in their denun-
Citations Of the seeding states, occa-
sionally much to the amusement OF
their listeners.
On one occasion a western senator
ended speech by declaring that were
certain threatened events to occur ne
would Teave this country and join
some other nation. Even the Co
manches he would prefer to this gov
ernment in such case."
Senator Wigfall Of Texas rose In an
swer and stated in q tone Of grave re-
monstrance that he trusted the senator
would consider we'll before he took
such a step, "for the Comanchss had
already suffered too much from con-
tact with tho Mhltes.* ,sSI:-

Letter From Congressman Patterson.

Congressman j. o. Patterson, congress
man from the second district and a can
didate for reelection, could not be pres
ent at the campaign meeting here Tues
day. on account of his duties in Washing
ton, but sent the following letter, which
was read by county Chairman H. c.
Folk:
Hon. H. C. Folk, Chairman Democratic
Executive Committee, Bamberg county
Bamberg, S. G.
Nv Dear Sir:-In pursuance OF the as
signments made by the State Democratic
Committee, the State campaign party,
consisting of all candidates for State
offices, and candidates for Congress, will
address the citizens of your county at
YOUR county seat on the 26th instant,
regret that my official duties will prevent
me from attending the meeting.
The present session of Congress has
been long, tedious and important one
A great many measures or interest TO the
public have been and are now pending,
and it is of the utmost Importance that
every member of Congress should stand
by his post of duty during the closing
days to protect the people from rash, un-
wise and hasty legislation, so common to
legislative bodies in the last hours before
adjournment.
It would afford me much pleasure to
attend the meeting and meet my constltu'
ents, and give them an account OF my
stew ardship, but my official duties re-
ou;re nv presence here, and hold that
public and official duty is the highest OBJ
legation an officer or citizen should know;
and feel that would be unworthy OF
the trust and confidence imposed IN me
we're I to desert my official duties, at this
time, to go to my district in my own per
sonal interest to seek reelection to this
high Office, which I now hold at the
hands of the voters of the Second Con
eressional District. When my duties
here have been performed and Congress
has adjourned, I will return to my home
in South Carolina and endeavor to meet
all of the people of my district face to
face and give an account of my acsings
and doings as their representative ID the
Congress of the United States.
have been active and energetic III my
efforts to serve the people Of my district
faithfully, and I trust that my course in
Congress will meet with the approval OF
nv Constituents, and that they will fee.
warranted in re-electing me to Congress
that the knowledge and experience OF
Congressional work that have attained
in the past few months may be used III

SuBTERRANEAN RIVERS.
Yocatan's Only Streams Flow Be-
meath Coral Rock.


meath Coral Rock.
There are no streams in Yucatan
which flow above the ground, but the
whole peninsula is one vast table OF
coral rock and beneath it are immense
sheets Of fresh water, with regular
though i'll defined tides and currents.
Along the coasts these subterranean
waters are quite near the surface, but
in the interior, where the calcareous
layer is of great thickness, the waters
are low down. At intervals they break
into caverns formed by earthquakes by
pressure Of their own force or by the
infiltration Of surface water into the
natural grottoes Of the Coral rock and
wherever the water can be reached,
whether through artificial pits or by
the operations Of nature, the place IS
called a cenote. There are great
many of them scattered all over Yuca-
tan, and those near Merida are utilized
as public lighthouses, affording most
refreshing resorts.
Centuries ago the Indians marked the
courses Of the subterranean rivers by
heaps Of stones and always built their
cities close by the water caves, as their
ruins show, and it is interesting to note
to this day all the civilized centers Of
Yucatan have arisen around these nat
ural reservoirs. There are many forms
of cenotes. When the Water flows at
a slight depth and the calca1eous layer
has been only partially eaten away
there follows an irregular sinking,
which forms cave, opening from side
to side, but when the crust is thicker
and the underground stream has reg
ular course the soil Is generally cor
roded in a circular space and the vault
thus formed, lacking support, falls in,
making an immense open wall. Often
the crust is so deep that the soft parts
Only crumble down, leaving small
aperture toward the top, fashioning
real grotto, with stalactites and stalag-
mites galore. Again, 1t happens that
the crust is exceedingly thick, when a
colossal subterranean passage, like a
tunnel, Is formed. In short, all the
variations which an undisturbed
stream may produce in friable soil
by the silent work Of ages may be here
witnessed. The cenote Of which I
write Is a natural cavern nearly fifty
feet deep, broken down at one side,
thus forming a gigantic arch. Within
It appears every form of stalagmite
and stalactite, and its roof Is perfo-
rated with holes, In which are thou
sands Of birds and hornets nests. At
the bottom Of 1t, reached by fight OF
stone steps from the charming garden
above, is an extensive sheet Of clear,
fresh water, containing multitude Of
tiny fish (Pescado cenote) similar to
those found In the Mammoth cave Of
Kentucky, only these are not eyeless.
The overhanging roots Of trees fringe
its broken arch, affording shelter to in
Vulnerable lizards and iguanas, which
dart along the lodges like embodied
sunbeams, while above them countless
swallows circle in. masses so dense that
the whirring Of their wings produces
a deafening noise, echoed from below
In hollow reverberations.

ADOPTED DAUGHTER
GETS FORTUNE.
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL


PITTSBURG, July 29.-Much interest
is being excited among the wealthy
class here over the settlement of the
estate of the late Mrs Elizabeth Burns.
whose will was filed yesterday. Mrs.
Cora Burns Phelan, her adopted daugh-
ter, with her four children, inherits 80
per cent of the estate of Mrs. Burns,
which was left to the latter by her
husband, William Burns, the former
Pittsburg traction magnate.
1t is intimated here that Mrs. Phelan.
as Cora Burns, did not know that she
was other than the real daughter of the
traction king until the uncovering of
his will on his death in Paris seven
years ago. The will divided the estate,
then valued at s1.200,o00. equally be-
tween the widow and Cora, the adopt
ed daughter. The latter is said to have
been a distant relative of the traction
magnate.
Mrs Phelan is the wife of Alexis
Phelan, member of one of the Oldest
business firms of Pittsburg. She has
four children, each of whom has been
left $2s,6oo by the will of Mrs. Burns
1t is rumored that there will be a
contest over the will of Mrs Burns A
brother. of the woman has fled papers
asking that the will be set aside and
that his claim be recognized.

considered a fat chance to make some
money by forming partnership and
embarking in the business of pulling
down damaged fues and building new

when the partners had a misunder-
