Tho Mahogany Craze.
NASHVILLE Americana

Immediately after the civil war many
southern families Of prominence AMI
former wealth found themselves undes
the necessity of disposing of many OBJ
tects Of art and household furniture
which had prior to that time adorned
their homes. Some of these things
were in the nature of heirlooms, and
were parted with only under dire NO.
cessity, but the same grit which led
their owners into and sustained them
during the long, unequal struggle in
duced them to let go in order that steps
for a new life, under new conditions,
might be successfully prosecuted which
would again prove of what metal these
people were made. Herein lies the Diff
ference between the disposition Of
such articles on the part Of some OF
the families of some of the European
states and those of the southern states.
A parting by an Italian or Spanish
family with a painting by Titan or
Murillo, valued as a precious possess
sion since the Renaissance. Is almost q
sure sign of decay, but a sale of an ex-
quisite mahogany sideboard by a
southern family meant the beginning
Of restoration Of the family name.
The story of the restoration of this
section, unequalled in the worlds his
tory, as was the bold struggle against
that which brought about its necessity,
has been often told. Statistics now
yearly given prove that the point OF
restoration as to material wealth has
long since been passed. True, the south
was endowed with great natural
wealth, but it was far richer In being
inhabited by class of r. Americans
who had the spirit TO overcome the d.
rect misfortune and, under changed
conditions, avail themselves Of heav-
ems rich gifts. These beautiful objects
of art, evidences of the refined taste OF
the people who possessed them, found
their way to various cities. Collectors
of such things were soon on the scene,
and then it became apparent how true
sense Of the beautiful these people
possessed. They had surrounded them
selves in their homes with articles OF
household use and adornment so
chaste in design and SO beautiful In
workmanship that constant association
with them had an elevating influence
on the lives of the children of the
home. The conditions under which
these homes were established and
maintained were long since changed,
but the beautiful objects which once
adorned them still exist to serve as
models of beauty and patterns for re-
production.

Firm to the Wall
LIABILITIES ABOUT s4,ooo,ooo
J. M. cebaIlos & Co., a Mercantile and
Banking Firm, Assign for Benefit of
Creditors Because Manuel siIvira,
Agent in Cuba, Makes Way With
100000.

New York, Oct. 1.-THE assignment
of j. NJ. Ceballos e. Co, bankers and
merchants. with liabilities between So
100000 and $4,000.O00, was announced
late yesterday afternoon in a state-
ment which declared that the failure
was due to the defalcation and alb
sconding of Manuel Silvira of Silvira
u Co., Havana agents of the New
York company. Silvira's defalcation
is alleged to amount to about $1,000
900. He sailed from Havana October
2, ostensibly for New York City to con-
suit with the members of j. NJ. Cebal-
los II Co., but has not reached this
city. Counsel for the assignee said
yesterday that Silvira has left on his
own steamer, the Carmenlia, for parts
unknown, accompanied by his wife and
children, and that every effort was be-
Ing made to locate him.
The members of the firm Of j. NJ
Ceballos & Co., are j. NJ. Ceballos, John
S. Fiske and Anderson C. Wilson.
The assignee Is William v. Rowe
of the Law firm of Sullivan & Crom-
we'll, Of this city. Mr.. Rowe said yes
terday that the agents of the firm We're
of very substantial character but
from a hasty examination it was mani
fest that they would require careful
outstanding. Accountants are now at
work on the books of the company. 1t
was stated unolficially that there were
grounds to hope that the assets would
be sufficient to cover the losses of
the firm and that it would be enabled
to resume business.
j. M. Ceballos & Co, was estab-
lished about fifty years ago, and has
large interests in Cuba. chiefly in the
development Of railroads and sugar
plantations. 1t operates a line OF
steamers between New York and
Spanish ports and has connections IN
the Spanish, European centers and
Spanish American cities.

''That may be all so," replied Judge
Brown; "but you know in our cases
we often have to be here very late.

it would be prudent to have woman
