He was sitting near a fireplace. He was knocked un- conscious. but will recover. A Mrs. Jenkins, who lives in Towns county. is 97 years old. and can see to knit socks without the aid of spec- tacles. For exercise, she walks a mile or two every other day. There lives in Irf-e county a negro who is said to be over 105 years old. He Is still able to walk about and is In good health.

Sparks, who has been the manager of the telephone exchange at Griffin for several months past, has been trans- ferred to Augusta. George P, Thomas, an assistant In the exchange, has been Promoted to manager, with Will Slaton as assistant. At Bermuda, In Gwinnett county, a day or two ago. two small hoys, Normon Mitchell and Oscar Weaver, were out playing with a "flip,” when young Weaver was accidentally shot in the eve by Nor- tnon Mitchell and has since been In a criti- cal condition, and not expected to live. W. V. Tanner of Sandersville has sold sl3) worth ef buttar since June 1, 1894. produced from two cows. One of these was not milked two months of that time thus making the average aboiut *5.50 per month for each cow, or *ll fbr the two. Besides a sufficient quantity has been con- sumed at home. From an authentic source It was learned (hat the large mills of the Hilton .V, Dodge Lumber Company, situated about four miles from Brunswick, will shortly begin operations and will run continual- ly. Cypress lumber is now In big demand and the above company are now running their mills on St. Simon day and night. Sheriff Pollock of Wilcox county ar- rested Frank Harmon, a negro, last Sat- urday on a telegram from the shcrlfT of Macon county. The negro took Sheriff Pollock into his confidepce, acknowledged fhat he had killed a man in Macon county some months ago. and proposed to re. ward the sheriff handsomely if he would permit him to escape. Sapp's saw mill ajid turpentine still at the 15-mlle poet on the Southern railway In Glynn county were totally destroyed by fire a few nights ago. There was no Insurance, and the plant was a complete loss. Mr. Sapp went to work at once re- building the mill and still, and they are now nearly completed, not one week after they were reduced to ashes. The mill and •till have a large output, and Mr. Sapp •ays he could not afford to be out of busi- ness. Dolph Starr, white, and Homer Gray, Colored, engaged In . difficulty near can- on In Franklin county Saturday morning. Starr phot Gray through the head with a pistol. Gray died on the spot. The cor- oner went down Sunday morning to hold an Inquest. The Jury failed to agree. The difficulty was about the sale of a dog In which 11.50 was Involved. Both parties lived in Hart county. The killing oc- curred in Franklin county, just over the county line. Dr. O. B. Salley, a well-known physi- cian of Augusta, was called a day or two ago to the home of Mr. and Mrs. Stephens In Polk's alley (Rollersvllle) to attend their newly-born child.

Only one remains now, however, as the nurse In cleaning the baby's mouth washed out one, and an- other was pulled out because it was Ir- ritating the tongue. Dr. Salley says the baby is plump and healthy. Dawson County Advertiser: “ 'Uncle' Tom Stowers, one of Dawson county's best and most successful farmers, was In town Monday. He is one of our oldest dtixens. and is now living at the same place and In the same house he did fifty years ago. He helped to remove the In- dians Viut'of this country, for which serv- ice he Is drawing pension. Although he is in bis 76th year, he is hale and nearly apd can down many of our young men at almost any kind of york. May he live many years to enjoy the neat little for- tune he has accumulated by his honesty and hard labor." John P. Shannon of Elberton. grand master of the supreme lodge of Masons of Georgia, has received a communication from the Grand Lodge of Free and Accept- ed Masons of England, appointing him its representative for Georgia. The commis- sion Is signed by the Prince of Wales, Al- bert Edward, In his own autograph, under the grand seal, and countersigned by E. Letehworth, secretary, and the Earl of Mt. Edgeoomb, deputy grand master. The’ grand lodge of England Is the mother lodge of which all other lodges have sprung and it Is a high honor which has been conferred on Col. Shannon. The lower portion of Putnam oounfy was visited by a terrific wind ami rain storm Sunday afternoon at 6 o'clock. At Dennis Btatlon, on the Middle Georgia and Atlantic railroad, eight miles from Eaton- ten, the damage was very great to build- ings and crops. The machine shop of Dr. John Ledbetter, together with his gin, was blown partly down, and wagons were strewn along the railroad track. A box car at the station was carried several hundred yards down the track, but was not thrown off. Corn and cotton suffer’d greatly,. In some Instances it will be necessary to plant entirely over. No loss of lit® Is reported. An Interesting suit for the recovery of land by an ex-slave was called for trtal In the superior court at Atlanta Monday. Bob Yancey, one of the first barbers who opened up In Atlanta after the war, bought the property w-hlle he was a slave, having bought his time from his master. Col. B. C. Yancey, paying for the property out of the surplus. The deed was, however, made to Col. Yancey because slaves could not hold property. Col. Yancey finally deeded the place, which is on Decatur street, to Yancey and his son for life. The father and son hoth died and Col. Yancey mort- gaged it and it fell into the hands of C. B. Beardsley, who Is now being sued by the old negro woman to recover It. Monday Judge Turnbull decided that the law fixes the fees of the auditor in the case of the Standard Oil Company versus the Rome Cotton Ties Manufaeturing Com- pany et al. It is figured that the fees will amount to about S7OO. Junius F. Hlllyer is auditor. Thirty to $40,000 Is Involved and the creditors sought to make Jack King, president of the Merchants’ Bank, liable for the debts of the cotton tie company. Hlllyer reported that he was liable only for $5,000, wrongfully appropriated as sal- ary. Creditors took exceptions that this was not enough and King took exceptions that he was not liable for the $5,0n0, but entitled to It. The question was argued before Judge Turnbull and his decision is pending. The fees are equally divided be- tween the company and creditors. In the sale of the Arcadia. Gulf Coast and Lakeland railroad to the Plant system for $30,000 Jack King, president of the Mer- chants’ Bank of Rome, now suspended, claims that the difference between that price and $20,700 realized at the judicial sale Is his private benefit. R. T. Armstrong of the Gabry-Armstrong Company, claims two-thirds Interest in it. King had pur- chased Gabry's Interest in the company and adhered to the statement that through business transactions he was en- hanv 1° the money and that the suspended that k J?. entitled to about $20,000. Finding itiL. •-'•as going to Florida, Arm- Strong, through his attorneys, asked for an Injunct ins to prevent King collecting the money. The restraining order was granted. So far as King was individually concerned. Jn.ige Turnbull decided that thp Merchants Rank might proceed to collect as its Interests might appear. There were hot words over the matter and there came near being a serious difficulty. King has gone to Florida and the Injunction will be heard the second week In June. Arm- strong claims that the bank is only en- tltlled to tlfi.SK) of the proceeds of the sale of the railroad mentioned. Two months ago a farmers' dog suffer- ing from the rabies ran amuck fourteen miles from Dublin, biting hogs, cattle and other animals. During its career the dog met a monster bull, belonging to a man named Wilkes, and attacked the beast, biting' and lacerating Its left ear. For the past week the hull has been acting very strangely, hooking rattle and hogs and frothing at the mouth. He has had several convulsions. In the cowpen he tossed the cows over the fence and gored thr young calves. Along the public road hogs were ripped open and killed by the infuriated beast and korsea In the lots were fright- ened and ran to their stables to keep out of danger. Hydrophobia in its worst form has manifested Itself in a number of anlnfhls. Monday morning Mrs. Mary Livingston, residing at Tweed was busy preparing breakfast In the swamp for her husband and several hands, who were rafting cypress timber In the river a short distance from Dublin. On her return with a bucket of water her attention was at- tracted by the approach of the bull. The anLmal turned on the woman, biting and snapping and tossing Its horns, barely missing her body. Seeing that her life was in jeopardy she ran with all haste to the river and plunged In. The mad beast fol- lowed bellowing. While in the water It had paroxysm after paroxysm. Mrs. Liv- ingston stood in the water shoulder deep, shouting for help. Her son came in a row boat and pulled his mother Into the boat just as she fainted. In a second more the infuriated animal would have reached the woman. It followed In the wake of the boat and remained in the water four hours, preventing the river hands from coming ashore. When the bull did re- turn to the bank it destroyed the cooking utensils. The beast was killed Monday evening by Airs. Livingston's husband. FLORIDA. James Weeks, sheriff of Clay, county, has tendered his resignation to Gov. Mitchell. The body of John Hetherington of Fort Fierce, who' has been missing for two months, was found Tuesday at a small house north of B*. Lucie. From all re- ports he hanged himself. The young child of J. H. Letournau and grandchild of Capt. L. E. Richards of Eden, died Monday night from strangula- tion, caused by swallowing a button with which it was playing. Death was almost Immediate'. Senator N. A. Bliteh returned to Phoenix Tuesday In consequence of the severe ill- ness of his daughter. Miss Lillian. The condition of this young lady has been very serious for several days, but Is thought to be slightly improving. Two negroes, John Green and Henry Brown, were drowned Tuesday In Blue Springs. Four negroes were In a boat, and. during a playful attempt to frtghten each other by tipping the boat, it cap- sized. Two eseaped by swimming. The run is now being dragged for the other two bodies. The heavy rain storm at St. Augustine Sunday evening was accompanied by hall- stones as large as pigeon eggs, pelting all things for eight minutes, without doing any other damage than cutting down some of the young vegetable plants. The storm laid down the kindling wood mill belong- ing to George A. Brucr, at the north end of town. til last week, when it was learned that he had returned, bringing with him a wife. So on Saturday evening last he wag arrested and confined in jali until Mon- day, when his father and friends came to his rescue, succeeded in compromis- ing the matter by the payment io the in- jured girl of the sum t slsw, and the ttosts of the proceedings.” The arrangements for the bicycle roal race at Orlando on May *> are about com- pleted. The list of prizes will Include three fln time prize medals, and ten place prizes. The first three, however, will be very good. There are sixteen entries, an 1 the official handicaps were given by R. Dudley Johnson as follows: M. C. lCck- land of Tampa, scratch; A. O. Hart of Or- lando, three minutes; George C. Adam*, of Sanford, three minutes; \V. M. Blru- bttuni of Orlando, eight minutes; Dick Marks of Orlando, eight minutes, Sidney E. 1 Ves, Jr., of Orlando, eight minutes; C. K. Barnes of Orlando, eight minutes; Lyman C. Adams of Sanford, eight min- utes; Louis Salsbury of Sanford, twelve minutes; AV. H. Huffstetler of Orlando, twelve minutes, O. P. Hughey of Kissim- mee, twelve irtnutes; John D. Burden of Orlando, twelve minutes; Harry Waters of Orlamlo, fifteen mlnutgs. C. E. Win- field of Orlando, fifteen minutes; Frank Dobie of Orlando, twenty-five minutes; Archie Hays of Orlando, thirty minutes lllmlt). Archie Hays and Frank Dolive are little boys. \V. U. HufTstetler Is not Orlando'* crack rider, but is his cousin. His name is W. K. Huffstetler, and he Is now In Chicago preparing to ride in the great Interstate eighteen mile road race, it would doubtless be easy for Adams to get up the proposed rice with W. E. Huft- stetler on the Fourth of July. The sailors who refused to do duty be- cause coffee was pot furnished them be- rime turning to Monday, on hoard the schooner 8. B. Hub- bard at Fernandina, have failed this far to effect a settlement with the captain. A. F. Mehaftey. This is the first case of this nature, so far as is known, that comes under the Dinger amendment to the McGuire marine article of the Uni- ted States revised statutes, and will be of great interest to the marine world, since a sailor under the Dinger amend- ment, even after he has signed articles be- fore a United States commissioner, can re- fuse duty, no matter If he Is at sea, and can leave his vessel at any port during his voyage, but he then forfeits his pay. Under this new act, also, a ship master must not pay advance money. The only re- dress of the sailors of the Hubbard Is to libel the vessel for the pay due them, but lu order to do that they will be com- pelled to give a bond before bringing their suit. This they cannot do, it seems. This new amendrpent does away with the eat- ing clause in charter parties, and on this account it appears that Capt. MehafTey is In the right. He only wanted the crew to move the vessel a short distance before breakfast, as the ship was lying in a bad position, it would have required about fifteen minutes' work, but that made no difference to them. Tney insisted on hav- ing their coffee. As it is they are without w oi k and money. Monday H. L. Knight bought the Wil- liams place on Hyde Park avenue at Tamila, paying for it *lo,tun. He sold his residence on Constant street for *4,000. DIANEIt FOR A TRAMP. Hoary Speny Sawed Wood for It, But He \\ oiildn't Do It Again. From the Washington Post. Spring was here and the day was warm. Henry Speny had been walking and now stood at the corner of Tenth and the Ave- nue moping his brow. Henry Speny was a conservative, and although Mrs. Speny had that morning gone almost to the frontiers of a fist fight to make h!m change his winter underwear for the lighter and more gauzy apparel of jocund May, Henry Speny had refused. He was now paying the piper, and was Just thlnk- Ing how much more Mrs. Speny Knew than he did when the tramp came up. "Podner," said the tramp in a low, gut- tral whine Intended to escape the cir of the police and touch Henry Spcny's heart at one and the same time "podner, couldn't you assist a poor man a little?" “Assist a poor man to what?" asked Henry Speny, returning his handkerchief to his pocket and looking at the tramp. He was a fat, healthy tramp in good condition. Henry Speny hardened his heart. "Dime,” teplied the tramp; “dime to get something to cat.” “No.” said Henry Speny, shortly. "I'm a half dozen meals behind the game my- self." This lzst was only Henry Spcny's hu- mor. Mrs. Speny fed him twice a day. But Henry Speny knew that the trump wanted the dime for whisky. "Well, !f you don't think I want it to chew on." said the tramp, "Just take me to a bakery and buy me a loaf of bread. I'll git away with It right before you." "Say," remarked Henry Speny, In a ton; of sar-astic irritation, "what's the use of your talking to me? There's a charity woodyard in this town where, if you were really hungry, yml would go and saw wood for something to cat. You can get two meals and a bed for cawing one-six- teenth of a cord of wood." "You can't saw wood with no such fin as this, podner,” said the tramp, and piillirtg up his coat sleeve, he displayed to Henry Speny an arm as withered as a dead tree. “The other's all right,” lie continued, restoring his coat sleeve, "hut wot's one arm in a catch-as-catch-cam racket with a buck saw?” All of the stationery pertaining to the collection of the Income tax has been re- turned by G. W. Wilson, collector of In- ternal revenue at Jacksonville, from his office to the department In Washington. Mr. Wilson had also dispensed with the services of Oscar A. Sloan, deputy for the collection of the income tax. and Thomas D. Watts, the income tax stenographer. Secretary T. J. Appleyard of the slate Senate, who is Interested in the Jackson- ville and Tampa Bay Improved Railway Company, has received a letter from his associates in Ohio, asking him to meet them in Cincinnati as soon aK the legisla- ture adjourns for the purpose of agreeing upon plans for the commencement of the construction of the road. This road is to be operated by electricity. A special from Brent's Station. Escam- bia county, states that John li. Vaughn, a former representative in the legislature from Escambia county, had a narrow es- cape from death at his saw mill there. A J-inch deal plank, twenty-four feet long, was on the carriage, which was moving rapidly. The plank got caught In thr saw. and was hurled with great violence for thirty feet, striking Mr. Vaughn on the left shoulder. He was knocked down anti severely injured. If he had been standing a few Inches further to the left, he would have been killed instantly. The Tammany nominations for city of- ficers of Pensacola were made Monday night, The ticket is as follows: Pat Me- Hugh, for mayor; E. A. Wallace, marshal; J. I. Johnson, treasurer; N. Miek Oertlng tax collector, and William Bazzcll, Sol Cahan, James McGauhey and L. J. Griffin .councilman at large; and for precinct councilman, Charles B. Glngles. J. N. Broughton, C. J. Heinberg, James Swee* ney, John rflffer, L. Hilton Green, R. M ‘FaFey', Jr., and W. H. Northrup. The people will likely put another ticket with tke present mayor, W. IS. Anderson, at the head. The vote In the lower house of the state legislature on Mr. Wall's silver coinage resolution, which passed that body Sat- urday; shows a decided reluctance among the.members to goon record. Out of six- ty-eight votes only thirty-six were polled, as follows: Yeas—Bates, Bowles, pancy. Kill*. Gregory, Hendry, Herndon, Kelly, McAlHly, McAlpin. McCreary, MeSwoen, Moore, Oliver, Pinkham, Plummer, Skin- ner, Smith, Stone and .Wall—2o. Navs— Jennings, Ballard, Bennett, Brown, Chap- man, Clark of Jefferson. Harp. Harris, Knowles, Sewell, Shaffer, Sullivan, Wells Whltner and Wilder—l 6. Gee Parrish; who was shot near Starke Sunday, is still living. There Is no foun- dation In fact for the rumor that Sheriff Johns has refused or neglected to do his full duty In this case. Mondav H. M Parrish applied to the.county judge for a warrant for Charlie Phillips, but refused to make the necessary affidavit, and hence no warrant was issued. No less than five or six different perscgis have been ac- cuesed of doing the shooting. However, at a late hour Tuesday afternoon. H. M. Parrish placed a warrant for the accused Ip the hands of thq sheriff, with the in- junction not to serve it till he, I’arrlsh, waft seen again at night. Trouble has invaded the camp of the Tampa Kifles, Company B of the Fifth Battalion. A majority of the members of the company have asked Capt. C. C. Whit- aker fo resign his position. He refuses to do this, and the same members have sent a petition to Gov. Mitchell asking him to remove Capt. Whitaker. Friction has existed hot ween the captain and company tor some time. A climax was reached when the Fifth Battalion hand went to Tallahassee to the encampment with the Island City Guards of Key West, Instead of waiting until th next night for thfe Tampa company. This is said to be due to the fact of a difference be- tween Capt. Whitaker and the leader of the band. On the return from Tallahas- see, shortly before arriving at Tampa, Capt. Whitaker, in a speech to the mem- bers of the company, said that as soon as they were ready to elect his successor he would resign. The boys took him at his word, ahd at the meeting of the company the next week the captain was Informed that the company was roadv to elect his successor, and asked for" his resignation, hut he "flatly refused to hand it in, and further declared that not enough members were In the company to compel him to resign. A motion was then made and carried, with oniy two dis- senting votes, that a committee be ap- pointed to ask for his resignation, and this committee the captain had to ap- point, as he presided at the meeting. Capt. Whitaker still refused to resign, and the petition to the governor was circulated, and on Monday it was forwarded to Talla- hassee. Capt. Whitaker left for Talla- hassee on Monday, but it Is not known whether his mission was In connection with this matter. A special to the Jacksonville Times- Vnton from Sumterville says: "A case before County Judge Steele Monday tha- excited considerable Interest was Miat of the state vs. George W. Wade, a young- man from the south end of the county who was charged with being too Intimate with a certain young maiden, and who loved not wisely, but too well. Some time since he left the county. A warrant was procured, but he escaped arrest un- Henry Speny was conscience-stricken, hut he would defeat the tramp in his efforts to buy whisky. "I'll go down to the woodyard and saw your wood myself," said Henry Speny. He fold Mrs. Speny afterward that he could not account for the making of this offer unless It was his anxiety to keep the tramp sober. All the tramp wanted was 10 cents, and for Henry Speny to pro- pose to saw one-sixteenth of a cord of wood on a hot day, when a dime would have made all things even, was a. conun- drum too deep for Henry Speny as he look- ed back over the transaction. But he did make the proposal, and the tramp accept- ed with a grin of gratitude. There were twenty sticks in that one- sixteenth of a cord, hard knotty sticks, too. And each one had to be sawed three times; sixty cuts In all. It was a poor buck saw. Before he had finished the third stick Henry Speny declared that It was the most beastly buck saw he ever handled in hls life. The buck itself was a wretched buck, and wouldn't stand still while Henry Spepy sawed. It had a habit of tipping over; and when Henry Speny put his knee on the stick to steady the refractory buck, the knots tore his trou- sers and made his leg black and blue. Then the perspiration got in hls eyes anl made them smart. When he wiped it away lie saw two of his friends looking at him In a shocked, sober way from across the street. They passed on and told everybody that Henry Speny was down at the charity wood yard sawing wood for hls food. They said, too, that they had reason to believe he did this every day; that business had gone to pieces with him. and an assignment couldn't be staved off much longer. Henry Speny would have thrown up the job with the second stick, but the tramp was already half through his meal: Henry Speny could sec him bolting hls food like a glutton through the window from where he stood. It took Henry Speny two hours to saw those twenty sticks twenty times. Hls hands were a fret-work of blisters: his back and shoulders ached like a galley slave's. Henry Speny hired a carriage to take him home; he couldn't stand the slam and Jolt of a street car. He was laid up three days with the blisters on his hands, while Mrs. Speny rubbed his back and shoulders with arnica. On the fourth day as Henry Spenv was limping painfully toward hls office he heard a voice he knew. •'’Ponder, can’t you assist a poor m . oh. bag your pardon; you looked so dif- ferent, I didn't, know you.” It was the fat tramp with the withered arm. Without a word Henry Speny gave him 10 cents and hobbled on. BOSTON IN COOL CLOTHES. EFFECT OF THE FAR FAMED EAST UIAD OA BIG M.EEVKS. Thr Conservatory Looking Like “A Garden of Girls"—Hon the Fair Damsels Give Different >hnde to Their Hair—Attainments Necessary to Get a Diploma at the Conserva- tory—The Boston Suktvv Regan. Miss Kmart of Knvannnh Winning Honors at the Conservatory. New England Conservatory, Boston, Alass., May 25.—Boston has put on her summer clothes “for keeps,” It seems, in spUe of the tendency of the thermome- ter to drop on the sly every now and then. The far-famed east wind has a cool way •f making balloons of big sleeves and wide capes, not conducive to comfort or good temper when one goes out thinking "How stylish I am!” and goes on looking like a caricature from Punch in 1832. The conservatory looks like a "garden of girls” since the rage for shirt waists has set in. In the dim corridors, with black skirts on, the girls go, observable from the waist up only. Animated busts of all the colors cf the rainbow, and with almost as many different shades of hair. Apropos of hair, M is a trifle funny and not a little confusing to find a student who enters the first term as a pronounced : brunette shading through the year and J finally making a debut in the last term a more pronounced blonde. If she has dark eyes and brows, and the complexion be- longing to them, It is liezarre to say the least. The peroxide blonde never seems to know that real blonde hair compared to hers gives the latter completely away. But I suppose as long as the world revolves women with dark hair will envy their neighbors’ golden locks and copy them as best they may. It’s a good thing that per- oxide of hydrogen Is so harmless- The graduating elapses have survived the tor- ture by question and go about radiant. It is no slight or- deal, this final examination. and the examiners from long experience can easily "spot" the diffidence of nervousness from that of Ignorance and no one may hope to pass except on merit alone. A con- servatory diploma Is the outward and visi- ble sign of inward and mental attainment. Hero are the examination requirements for the post-graduate course In the piano- forte, violin and violoncello schools. One concerts of the classic school, one of the modern, two sonates. or other works of larger form, two groups of shorter solo works. The board of examiners select a programme of about an hour's length from this repertoire to be performed by the ap- plicant not later than thirty days after no- tification. Then the obligatory studies; two years of counterpoint, composition, orches- tration. score-reading and art of conduct- ing. The regular course cf graduation in- cludes the pianoforte (or the chosen instru- ment) solfeggio, theory, harmony or coun- terpoint and the free course in musical history, with final demonstrative examina- tions at the end the sixth grade. But like all difficult things In life, the conservatory course of study 13 robbed of Its apparent ir.sui mountahlenrss (!) by time Itself. The hill is 3teep, but the ascent la gradual. You can even mind around the eminence If your lungr, are weak, and stop for a while on various plateaus to regain breath and take heart for aivdlu r pull, by L back- ward view of th- s'ony patl; so hardly- won. We are having a very entertaining and Instructive course of lectures on plano- forto construet’on by th“ general manager of the conservatory, Mr. F. \V. Hale. lie Is also at the head of the tuning department, and I daresay could make a piano all by him- self, if necessary. These talks are es- pecially beneficial to those students who may hereafter be In small towns or In the country where tuners are either unknown or “bett-'r dead." The entire construction of the Instrument Is carefully explained and illustrated on the stage. Every por- tion of piano-anatomy Is pulled to pieces and the logical process of “action" ex- plained. The various simple disorders to which delicate pianos are liable are de- scribed, and the remedies prescribed. Of course, no one can hope to be able to tune a piano after hearing these lectures, foi that is knowledge requiring a year or more of pretiy steady work and hard study; but or.e can know how to treat a piano so that it will be kept In tune better, and by un- derstanding the interpendence of hammer, screw and siting, be able to rectify- any small trouble. It is like a layman’s knowledge of medicine, admirable for keeping the physician at bay—preventa- tive. rather than remedial. After a prolonged fight, over a location, the work on the Boston sub-way is at last begun. 1 do not blame the people for cher- ishing evry scrap of the Common. It is a to walk through It now. and a quiet delight to the eye. Such superb trees arching over smooth wide walks; here a wide sweep of vivid emerald lawn, now a gentle slope dotted with elms and maples. The soldiers’ monument in marble and bronze crowning a soft hill with the his- toric frog-pond at its base; herp and there a foutaln, and dominating all, like a bubble over the sweet green foliage, the golden dome of the state house. The crowd of fir- and dusty pedestrians al- ways turns aside from Tromont street, with its ceaseless roar of electric cars and heavy wagons, to breathe a little under these leafy alleys. There are always peo- ple sitting or lying on the- bench**, some- times on the grass and the ball-ground is generally a scene of animation over the great American game. Just across Boyls- ton street lie the no less lovely public gar- dens. full of rare trees and flowers. One corner of it has beetl tprn up and the great tunnel for the subway Is making a very perelptible hole in the ground. I thought men dug tunnels as moles do. Just burrow- ed. But it seems not. They dig a huge trough, lay the necessary tracks, tack a roof on, and there you are. I believe the cars are to run under the Common, but that will not hurt It. only I do not see what they will do with the roots of the trees. Wc take up, clean, store and re-lay carpets, The recital in Sleeper hall last Thursday evening which began with an organ num- ber very finely played, had two original arrangements of the "Benedicts" on the programme, by pupils of the composition class. They were well sung by a mixed quartette of N. E. C. students. If not strik- ingly original these compositions at least displayed good taste and, a correct knowl- edge of harmony and counterpoint, and were very melodious. The quartette of singers have been associated together all the yaar, and the voices blend admirably, besides being Individually fine. The final number, the larghetto and finale from the raff c-mlnor concerto was played by Miss Marion Smart of Savannah, the director at the second piano. Miss Smart’s satin gown of deli- cate rose-pink was exceedingly becoming to her slender figure and blonde complex- ion. A knot of lilies of the valley adorn- ed her hair and the front of her corsage. The playing was most artistic. Her exe- cution Is marked by a technique clear and transparent, her touch Is sure, firm and mellow, and her perfect ygt modest self- possession adds much to the enjoyment of her lovely playing. She did not use notes last evening, which was no small feat In itself, for the Concerto is a brill- iant and difficult one, taxing alike to tech- nique and memory. Mr, falß® o played the second piano part superbly, as he al- ways does.

A burnt to lie Closed, After Being- NVorked fur 200 Years, From the St, lands Budget. Lovers of the picturesque and curious, holiday-makers., sight-seers and others who have visit®! Land’s End, and who know Cornwall, ,will recall with pleasure their visit to the famous Botallack tin mine when they read of the proposed closing of this picturesque old mine. The pleasure, too, will be mixed with regret when the final notice of Its closing—which We fear is all too .certain—is announced. However, "Hope springs eternal in the human breast," and the matter may not prove to be so bad as it seems at first sight. Unfortunately, all things are apt to get worked out, and even a mine which for nearly two centuries' has yielded un- told wealth must bend to the inexorable decree of natural exhaustion. No one of the innumerable Cornish mines is more picturesquely situated, or is- better known to thousands who have mover actually seen it. With old workings running, level after level, under the sea. It has always formed one of the favorite Cornish Bights, and, though* part of the submarine section of the mine was abondoned in 11175, the fact has scarcely affected its attractions to tourists. Botallack is In itself worth vis- iting. even if no mine existed In its re- cesses. It is a bold headland composed of huge masses of hornblende, masked by walls of slate, against which ,the Atlantic surges are continually dashing. But the persevering efforts of man hdwe at this point been more powerful that* those of nature. Situated a mile and a half from Cape Cornwall, Botallack present! - a most striking example of man's boldUess in search of wealth and of his skill im secur- ing it. Gloomy precipices of slate, which un- numbered. ages of sea storms have \becn unable to displace, are here out in twain by the miner, whose complicated n.-a- chinery clings to the cliffs at places wheve it would seem almost impossible for an engine to be fixed.
