MANY NEW HOMES
 ARE BEING BUILT
Globe to Soon Be a City Beau tifuI-Some of the New
 Residences

Notwithstanding its monetary fervor, it's unhedged status and its dearth of embowering vegetation, Globe is rapidly becoming a City of Beautiful Homes As an establishment to the grandeur of its Acropolis-like hills, new edifices are constantly springing up on every side.
 Prominent among these are the two handsome residences which J. w. liar. rington is erecting in the vicinity of Pascoe hill bridge The most imposing of the two is $2,700 structure now nearing completion in the hands of MT. Goodnow, well known contractor; T. F. McLeary, plasterers; Wright < Son, carpenters, and the Standard Electric company. The latter is engaged in equipping it amply with up-to-date illu- minating fixtures. The exterior of the residence is done in new patent finish that priorly has not been introduced in Globe. 1t is of doubled cement The other house is frame and will probably come to $7O0.
 A few blocks to the east B. ]. Ben nett. q fireman at the Old Dominion mine, is patterning a $500 six-room residence for his own occupancy. It is a little on the style of Mr. Griffin s, his immediate neighbor. The dimen- sions are twentyeight feet square and there are two stories
 F. Parkhurst, another miner is build ing a cozy little home for himself which will reach completion within week. It's dimensions are eighteen by twenty four.
 Near by Joe Childs, popular boiler. maker, has contracted for a s40O home with F. T. Greene, and Mir. Childs ex- poets to occupy it some time near the end of next week.
 Across the creek, on the summit of the Finals an Old Dominion mine em- ployee, James .Tovey by name, is com. pleting a $500 frame residence of three rooms which will be snugly ready for rental by the close of this motnh.

implements, guns and ammunition,
carriages and wagons, rolling stock
and engines for her railroads, as well
as pretty nearly everything else save
that produced from agricultural pur-
suits. In 1862 the south was in the
midst of a fierce war, and with but
little chance for making any of the
things so badly and urgently needed.
Dire necessity forced her people to
dive in and make an effort to supply
the demand for Shooting irons,'' and
after a few months this city, as well
as others, had demonstrated that these
could be made. Many of these guns
became famous as the most accurate
for fire, the most durable and destruc-
tive of any made, and are to-day relics
of the best workmanship in that line
of either side in the war. Armed
with these guns, the confederate artil-
1erymen became noted for the ac-
curacy and deadliness of their fire, and
they were dreaded by the enemy
whenever met. The government, with
all it's money and material and skilled
workmen did not turn out better guns.
Through long years a persistent
search was made for the Ladies De-
fender" writes r. NJ. Cheshire, and
finally, through the efforts of Hon l..
H. Chappell, the old cannon was To-
Gated in the home of the erstwhile
enemy. 1t required no pleading, no
money, to secure it again, for, with the
true spirit of friendship and manhood,
it was willingly restored to those who
had, during all these years, held it SO
dear. 1t now stands in one of the
beautiful parks of the city, a sacred
relic of those bitter days.

The Old Saratoga.

Another vessel of historic name and
deeds has been stricken from the
naval register and will be sold. This
is the old Saratoga, built at the navy
yard at Kittery, Me, in 1872 The
vessel was named for the 1S-gun shop
of war Saratoga, which served gal
lantly in the revolution, and went
down in a gale in 1850. The new Sara
toga, after serving as the flagship of
a squadron engaged in SURPRISING the
sIave-trade on the African coast, was
sent to help blockade the eastern
coast of Mexico during the Mexican
war. But it was because of its part
in a most important act of peace that
the old vessel will be best remem-
bered. The Saratoga was sent to the
orient after the Mexican war, and
joined the fleet of Commodore Mat
thew Calbraith Perry, who had gone
to Japan, to deliver the famous letter
which opened Japan to the outside

Japan in 1854. when the treaty of

1.-THE LADIES' DEFENDER"
An Interesting Relic of the Civil War
to BE Seen in Columbus, Ga.

Columbus (Ga-) possesses one of
the most historic and interesting can
non used by the confederates, can
non which was recovered and brought
back to its home more than 80 years
after the roar of battle had ceased and
peace had been declared.
1.-The Ladies' Defender for that is
the name given it, was cast at the
ordnance works in Columbus in 1868.
and was made from brass furnished
by the ladies of the city. There are
ladies still living who had a hand in
contributing brass door knobs. candle
sticks, andirons or firedogs, dinner
bells, church bells, etc. In number
of instances the ladies robbed their
homes of necessary material for the
cannon. These articles of brass were
melted up and mixed with copper and
tin to form bronze metal suitable for
the gun. Through the press appeals
had gone out asking contributions of
this character, and there was willing
and ready response by the ladies of
the city, for they realized the extreme
scarcity of the right kind of material
for gun-making in the south, she being
practically without any metal for this
purpose.
1t was unfortunate for the south
that she had depended, and continued
to do so until within the past two
decades, on the north for agricultural

Model for Rest of the Force.

While Oil City cannot, perhaps,
boast of being a strictly cold-water
town, she can, we believe, lay claim
to having among her residents the
champion temperance man of the
state, if not of the entire country.
Not only has he never drank any kind
of spurious or malt liquors, but he
has never allowed any tea, coffee, soup
or any kind of milk to pass his lips
since he was a child. He is a colored
man, was born in slavery, and because
his father frequently drank more
whisky than was good for him, he re-
solved when a boy to never drink any
thing but water. And he has reli-
giously kept the resolution. He is a
member of the Oil City police force,
and his name is Major Franklin

AS the touch of genius lifts the

Public Manners.

There are few persons who can
work their way through crowd, or
can even walk on the busy shopping
cities, without occasionally losing
their temper, or, at any rate, feeling
considerable irritation The reason is
not so much the crowd itself and the
consequent siowness of progress, al
though that may be annoying; it is the
maoners of the crowd, the constantly
repeated incidents of rudeness and
intent on your business, but neverthe-
less carefully keeping on your own
side of the walk, when the man imme-
diately in front of you cuts diagonally
across, without stopping to see how
near you are to his heels. You stumble,
and he turns his head long enough to
scowl Or perhaps it is woman who
trails heedlessly along with her skirt
dragging where you can hardly avoid
stepping on it and her umbrella search
ing with preternatural intelligence for
your eyeball. Possibly, however, it is
at stamp window, or the tick
ct office, where you meet
your particular boor. 1t is, indeed, ex-
asperating, says the Youths Compan-
ion, when you have waited patiently
for your turn, and are about to be
served, to have a fat woman. or
man with a loud and raucous voice,
push in ahead of you, and shout, Two

sport. After all, most of these
breaches Of manners are thoughtless
rather than intentional. Too great an
absorption in oneself and ones own in
terests is the reason for them All
good manners spring from recogni-
ton of the other mans personality and
his rights and privileges, and nearly
all bad manners from a disregard of
them. A crowd is the place, not to
forget oneself, but to remember; and,
above all, to remember that without
you the crowd would not be complete;
that you are responsible for the be-

Each tumbler contains certain

glass put a performer with a good
ear for music and. a steady middle
finger, which is the best and stronr
est to use Each glass must be held
firmly, quite near the bottom so as NOT
to mar the sound, with the forefinger
