Atlanta's Fair Visit oil by 1.38(1.8)13 Per sons, of Whom HI 7,038 Were Paid Admissions—Total lleceipts Probably Sl.gfiO.OOO.

When the Atlanta exposition patet closed the turnstiles indicated that since the opening day 1,286,863 persons had been admitted to the grounds. Ol this number there were 817,028 paid admissions, including adults and children The total figures include the ad mis sions at the pass gates, paid a^imissioti gates and the wagon gates, through which the soldiers' invited guests have passed. The following is a detailed statement of the attendance: Adults, paid admissions, 738,115; children, paid ad missions, 70,813; passes, 434,935; wagon gates, 35.000. According to the best reports now obtainable the exposition company realized from the paid admissions $304,072.95. The percentage received through the concession department is figured at $115,654.32, and this, added to the gate receipts, makes the total receipts from these sources since the exposition opened $479,727.27. hot there lire other sources to livar from. According to the statement of Mr. S. M. Inman, who handled the financial department of the exposition for some time, the total receipts of the exposition company will approximate $1,250,000, while the expenditures were not above these figures. A ROMANTIC AFFAIR. HtiAlmnd Deserts Ills Wife, and Aftei Ten Yearn of Prosperity Sendn for Her. A romantic story comes from the town of Jerez, Mexico. Ten years ago a young American named Edward Koberts quarreled with his wife in Baltimore and left for South America. After spending a few years in the raining camps of Colombia he came to Mexico and engaged in mining, with fairly profitable results. Twoyearsago he secured the |K>sition of siqierintendeut of a paying mine near Jerez and hasaccumulated a comfortable fortune. Recently it occurred to him to try and effect a reconciliation with his wife, from whom he had heard nothing since leaving her. He wrote a fond letter to her and invited her to join him in his Mexican home. The money was inclosed for her fare and expense of the journey and was duly received. The joy the letter brought to the waiting woman’s heart cannot be told, but she showed her devotion to her husband by leaving immediately for Mexico. She arrived in Mexico a few days ago and took the first stage for Jerez. The meeting between husband and wife w as a joyous one, and they are now enjoying the mutual companionship that had been severed for ten years. Mr. Roberts is now greatly Mexicanized and is known here as Eduardo Roberto. COAL MINE DISCOVERED.

ITALIAN ORANGES. Large Shipments Lnoouraffed on Account of Failure of Florida Crop. According to II. <1. Huntington, United States commercial agent at Castcllnmare, Di Stubia, Italy, the Italian oranges will be tihippcd to America in large quantities this season. This has lieen brought about by reports concerning the damaged state of the Florida orchards. It is said in Italy that Florida will supply aliout 200,000 boxes only ns compared with from 3,000,000 to 5,000,009 boxes, the estimated erop liefore last year's dunnage by frost, and, as a result, the Italian exportation, which usually begins at the end of January, will commence during the present month. A report just received at the department from Mr. Seymour, our consul at Palermo, says that on account of an unusually long drought, which still exists, the maturity of all fruits has been retarded. At Palermo lemons fit for shipment command u high price, and ow ing to the low prices in foreign markets a majority of the shippers are idle, waiting for a more favorable time to begin operations. The lemon crop in the Palermo district is a very large one. AN OLD CONNECTICUT CHURCH Romi" lntemtlu£ Facta ('otirrmlng Itx Early History. At the celebration of the 225th anniversary of the Congregational church in Greenwich. Conn., some interesting facts concerning the early history of the society and the town were brought out. In 1660 there were 20 male inhabitants, who were taxed for preaching, raid bad to go to meeting or pay five shillings’ fine. In the old time service began at eight a. in. and lasted all day. Worshipers brought their luncheon with them and hot bricks. In 1791 a lottery was held for the society’s benefit. There were 1,200 tickets, and they were sold by the managers and at the Danbury printing office. The society at an annual meeting voted to spend $1.25 on liquor to quench the members’ thirst. Committeemen received an annual salary of from 50 cents to $1.50; t he treasurer got one dollar, and t he man who swept out the church received 37 cents. The salary of the first settled pastor (1678-87) was £50 with firewood or £G0 without.

TO 7 RAVEL AS A CLOWN. Scheme of a Comlus Globe Trotter Which May Net Him S.’to.oao. On a wager of $ 10,000, George J. Mold, an ex-letter carrier, formerly an actor, will set out for a trip around the world New Year’s day under novel conditions. He agrees to leave Wichita, Kan., penniless, dressed ns a clown and to carry a ventriloquial figure, and not to speak during his pbsence except through the figure. He may engage in any lawful business temporarily and receive presents, but he must make a daily report of his whereabouts and financial condition. He may be absent fouryears, and when he returns he must have control of $20,000 or its equivalent. In that case he is to receive $10,000 from Cash Henderson, who has deputed Robert F. Kinnaird to accompany him on the trip. PROPOSED NEW RAILROAD.

Vuluablt' Anthracite Deposit Accidentally Unearthed in North ('arolina. A deposit of coal which gives every indication of being a valuable and important one has been discovered in the Hot Springs section near Asheville. N. C. It has been examined b> experts, who pronounce it anthracite coal of good quality. The discovery was made in this way: While workmen were cutting a new dirt road through the property of Thomas Garrett, a few miles south of the hot springs, they found a deposit which they judged to be coal. Further investigation prove)] this to be the fact. Thereupon a force was put to work, following up the supposed vein, with the most encouraging success. The workmen have already tunneled 50 feet into the mountain, and Mr. Garrett says that the supply appears to be practically inexhaustible, and a company will be organized to put the coal on the market, it being located near the Western Carolina railroad and the Southern railway systefti.

English Syndicate Will nuild It from Oaxaca, Mex., to Guatemala. An English syndicate of capitalists, headed by F. J. Jennings, of London, proposes to build a railroail from Oxaca to Guatemala. The company will soon be formally organized, and an application will be made for concessions and a subsidy in aid of the enterprise. The road will touch at Salina Cruz, the Pacific coast port, on the Isthmus ®f Tehuantepec, and will open up a rich and undeveloped country in the states of Oaxaca and Chiapas, Mexico, the western part of Guatemala. It will also serve as a very important link in the Pan-A-nerican railway. It is reported that it is the intention of the company to ultimately extend the road through the Central American countries and down the western coast of South America.

PLENTY TO DO. House Committee on Invalid Pensions Will (lave 7,000 Hills to Consider. The house committee on invalid pensions held its first meeting the other day. Chairman Pickier and his associates looked over the field and discovered at an early stage of the proceedings that they have an extraordinary contract on their hands. Already the number of bills referred to that committee amount to two-Uiird of the totaJ number introduced during the entire third session of the last congress and at u rough estimate it is expected that there will be fully 7,000 bills for the examination and action of the committee during the present congress. In an informal discussion of the |>olicy of the committee the other day there was a strong and almost unanimous expression antagonistic to the granting of large pensions to the widows of generals. Mr. Pickier appointed as clerk of the committee Mr. L. 11. Galley, of Pierre, S. D., who has been his private secretary for several terms.

Sarah Harrisberger, of Cleveland, O., completed a deal here the other day whereby Mrs. Jennie Foster, of 179 Fifth avenue, Pittsburgh, sells her husband, John Fostler, for $90 in cash, a pair of diamond earrings and a diamond pin, to the Harrisberger woman. Papers were draw n up in a prominent attorney’s office and everything made secure. Fostler and the Harrisberger woman were lovers years ago. All par-

ties are satisfied. The Tramp In .Jupsin.

A traveler in Japan says that the Japanese tramp takes his hot bath daily if he has a fraction of a cent to pay for it, or his cold bath if he hasn’t a cent. He carries a comb, toothpicks, a razor and a tooth brush in a little bundle. A few Japanese tramps might well be introduced as missionaries in the American brotherhood, whose members do cot seem to aapprecipte what cleanly

by drawing lessons from its life.

The students then passed by, viewing the ball, and loud were their lamentations. At last a match was touched to the bier, and while the ball was being cremated the st udents sang a hymn. The president is away, and will probHbly stir things up when he returns.

In September Rev. W. 11. Matteson, of the Baptist church at Owosso, Mich., was called upon to marry a couple, the groom being a man of 70 and the bride considerably younger. At the conclusion of the cert mony the groom handed the minister $20. Several weeks later Mr. Matteson was informed that, owing to the excitement of the occasion, the aged bridegroom was somewhat rattled, and had mistaken the $20 for a $5, and demanded a rebate of $15. The reverend gentleman sent his cheek for the required amount to correct the error, but this was not sufficient. It seems in the old man’s third venture three months w as all that was required to exhaust the glamour of matrimony, tind life with him had become once more simply a matter of business. Consequently he demand 'd that the minister pay him interest on the $15.

lives for hut offerings in behalf of the church of Christ? The lives and the present sufferings of our brethren and sisters at Harpoot will prove of inestimable significance in the history of the elevation of the Armenian race. And it is this very suffering which will set the seal to their lives of prolonged and faithful serv ice in the undying affections of the people whom they have so long served. If J’nul did not, why should we hesitate to l>e of those who fill up that which is liehiud of the uftlietions of Christ for llis body’s sake which is the church?” Another missionary says: “The immense loss of property which would result from such a panic-stricken flight, the dlunger of precipitating a new panic among the thousands w ho watch over every movement and every word to see how far it is safe not to fear, the infamy of abandoning the pupils in the schools, the sacrifice of position and influence that would result from our departing the field in order to escape discomfort, arc not felt by those who propose withdrawal as arguments of

FUN IN A PULLMAN CAR. InvtUent Showing the Extra: of Traffic la n2!tc:tgn Dookrt. An amusing incident occurred not long ago on a sleeping car of one of ihe western lines, whioh illustrates to what an extent mileage booksare manipulated by the scalping fraternity. The Pullman conductor, wlun the passengers got settled for the night’s run, took up their transportation, as is customary, to turn over to the train conductor and to return to them in the

morning.

When morning came, having a large number of mileage books, and the men having Left their berths to go to the washroom, lie undertook to return them by going to that end of the car and calling off the names. He called for J. J. Smith, hut no one responded. Then he called A. B. Brown, and still got no answer. At this juncture the travelers began to awake to an understand-

The request was immediately complied j ing of the matter, and, after various with, and a second check was drawn j truthful and untruthful explanations,

the books were delivered to the parties

originally giving them up.

It is safe to say, however, that had the mileage been in the hands of the train conductor instead of the Pullman

for the sum of 15 cents, and when the voucher was returned a few days ago the minister caused it to be framed and

it now hangs in his study.

WRITING

HISTORY.

How School ('hlUlron In IHlchlffan Are Occupyinff Their Spare Time. A. G. Kandall, commishioner of schools of Calhoun county, Mich., last fall inaugurated a novel school work that is now being introduced in all of the counties throughout the state, and inquiries are eomipg to him from other states asking about the success of the work. It is the writing of local histories. The children of each school district are engaged in writing the early history of the townships and the biographies of the pioneers. The researches have awakene'’ an intense interest in local history on the part of tlie scholars that has extended to the citizens, and so much valuable information has been obtained that in some localities funds are being raised to publish the matter in book form. BOX SUPPERS AT t H E THEATER. Prince of UYulp*' Latest Fail Causes a Stir In tho Swell Set. The prince of Wales has a new fad. One evening recently the prince had supper served in the royal box at Drury Lane during the performance. Of course, the box was well screened front the audience, but the audience found out, all the same, and box suppers are a much discussed question in consequence. They would certainly be n sorry compliment to the players if generally adopted. Fancy listening to Hamlet's soliloquy punctuated by popping champagne corks! Or eating pate de fois gras to orchestral accompaniment! It has been suggested that one entr’acte might be made sufficiently long to admit of supper. MINUET EXCITES THEIR WRATH.

llBptUt Dance for Charity In Philadelphia Stirs Fp Other Pastors. The Baptist preachers of Philadelphia are up in arms against several of their brethren, all on neeount of dancing. Lost week Rev. Dr. Russell If. Conwell’s Raptist congregation gave an entertainment, the chief feature of which was a minuet. The entertainment was to raise funds for the Samaritan hospital, a Baptist institution. Of the minuet dancers was Miss Conwell, daughter of the noted preacher. All the Baptist ministers, with few exceptions, think that dancing is wicked, and a ministerial meeting lias been > ailed, when a formal protest w ill In: entered against the method used by Mr. Conwell’s flock to aid charity.

NATURE AS A SURGEON. A Cast" Where She Removed That Troublesome Little Vermiform Appendix. A vermiform appendix—that little sae which, according to anatomists, is, a.s far a.s they can ascertain, a useless part of the human organization—removed without the knife by nature, is a novelty which Charles Porte;', better known us "Charlie” porter, has presented to the medical profession of New York. For nearly u year past Mr. Porter has complained constantly of pains in his abdomen. Six doctors, called in succession, diagnosed bis ease, each in a different manner. A few days ago Drs. S. Bailey and Robert Wiley told him be had appendietis in an advanced form and that, unless he was willing to risk an operation, he had about 48 hours to live. Mr. Porter consented to the operation, and when the doctors had cut down to the vermiform appendix they found it had disappeared, itaving been eaten away by an abscess. Mr. Potter is now convalescing. CAME BACK TO LIFE. Flttlo Colored (ilrl Awakes from a Trance ut Her Own Funeral. Susan Wright, a 15-year-old colored girl residing with her parents at Suffolk, 60 miles w est of Norfolk, Ya., died the other afternoon. The body was coffined the next morning and brought to Portsmouth, just across the Elizabeth river from Norfolk, for burial. On the lid of the coffin being removed the girl sat up and began laughing, throwing those present almost into a panic. The girl says she could hear everything that was said around her bier and knew she w as to be buried, but she could not move norspeak. In the evening she returned home with her parents.

The ftill intensity of living is reached only by the perfectly healthy. Sickness discounts the capacity for enjoyment, W hen a piano n badly out of tun*, the noises that coin* Iro:n it are certainly not musical. They are not beautiful. J, it i- only a little bit cut of tunc, you can play stone few things on it. You can create dti a semblance of music, ' ut you cannot mn’.ce really beautiful, satisfying, soulstirring music, unless , very string is tense nnd firm, unless t very piece of the whole Instrument is in peri tune, in perfect condition, in perl . t harmony with every other piece. It is the same vith a hitman bring. If. his body is all out ,.f order and run down|| he will not be able to enjoy anything, no matter how full of i njoyment it may be for other people. If h. is just a little bit out of order, if he "is n >t sick, but doesn’t feel just right ” lie wiil only he able to enjoy things in a half-hearted sort of way. The nearer he is to being perfectly well, the nearer will his capacity for enjoyment be perfect. To really live, and to take his part in the work and pleasure of the world, his body must be in perfect condition. If this condition doesn’t exist, something is wrong and something ought to be done. That something nine cases in ten means the use of Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery.

When Lydia E. Binkitam first sent ont tile news of tier great discovery, there was no lack of harsh speech from those whoso practice and opinions she set at defiance. But when young girls by tho hundreds were absolutely cured by Lydia E.

It rolls them of the buoyancy of youth. It makes all effort distasteful. It causes retention and suppression of menses, leueorrhma, severe headache, waxy complexion, depression, weakness, loss of appetite and interest. Certainly mothers ought to know that these are all symptoms of the one cause of nearly all tiie suffering that comes to women; and to save their daughters ought to begin treatment at once. Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound is the surest and most natural remedy for women ever compounded. It, will accomplish iu work with certainty.
