A PATHETIC STORY Of Fond Recollections that Ten derly Clung About the old Home Place. Such a dear old home it was. Nestling down in an old fashion ed garden, with an orchard full of old rough weather-beaten apple trees behind it, W'hilc an outer circle of ancient elms lean ed reverently over it like faiths ful guardians. The low red house, with its broad wings-, make you think of a mother bird blooding over her well-filied nest. But the nestlings were all gone now had wandered far from the old home which seemed to them shabbier and more cramped every time they came back for a short visit. Only mother clung to it closer and closer as the years went by. When the busy sons and fashion able daughters called it lonel-, and the grandchildren wandered 11 over its queer little nooks and corners, and remarked with open contempt upon the stiff old furniture and the tiny paned windows, the good old lady lis tened and said nothing, but her heart throbbed with pain, as though she heard the maligning of some dear friend. "Thev do uot know, of course," she thought excusing them in her own gentle way. "Though to other eyes it may seem poor and old-fashioned to me it can never be so, for it is the first and only home that I ever had. And alter tue sau, tender manner of the old, who only have a happy past and an empty present without luring uture here, she fell a dreaming of bv gone days, when her faith ul joiiu Had orougut ner a mde, to this dear old home, 1 -w 1 t her wh'ch seemed so grand and beau tiful then. How could it ever seem lonely and humble to her, lieu it was so rich in a thous sand happy, blessed recollections? Had that not been John's favor- He rose oiisn.J Mad not sue and John planted that very mountain h together? And could the 1 rooms ever seem empty and crabbed to her when every nook and corner spoke to her some times of the living or of the dead as eloquently as tongues could do? Here is where she used to sit and watch the fire on winter evenings, rocking the cradle as she knit. This dark spot on the floor is where baby Mary had spilled the ink while she sat there writing to the soldier fath er far away where the battle raged or on the long, dreary march. And here beside the old fashioned table on which still lay the well thumbed family Bible, she had knelt and prayed for twenty years with John prayed for her little ones in tear ful grief when he was gone prayed for them when they one by one slipped from her arms out into the cold world, and where she stiP nightly bent her stiff old kneesto pray for them and theirs. Mother only loved the old house better as the years rolled on, but when giim old age had crept slowly upon her.it was de cided in family council that she. must make up her mind to come and live with one or the other of th-rui, for it was altogether out of the question for her to remain in that gloomy old house alouc. So, one sad day, over-powered by the sons and daugntcrs wdio in- ant to he kind, mother went softlv to and fro over the old house t iking leave o: it all. and th-- last farewell wa- the visit to the two aioa.ids nudcr the droop ing elms where John slept and the first bom little sou lay. Then, with a feeling that the world can never quite under stand, she was driven away to the fine city residence they don't call them homes now where Alfred and his wife who for all her kindness rather over powered mother with her fine ways, had given her a stately room, and what was the most dreadful, she was supposed to keep it there by herself. Yes, they meant to be kind to her, but the city ways and stylesgave the old lady the feeling that she was in an asylum, and in spite of all the grandeur, mother's wrinkled cheeks lost their soft pink like that of alialf-wilted rose, and she began to grow feeble and worn, though every one was so busy that it passed unnoticed, blie was pming lor the old home, though she felt that it would seem ungrateful to say so, and then, somehow to pray in the magnificent church, where she sat in a velvet-cush loned pew, did not seem to give her the help she prayed for, for God, as it seemed to her, was not as close as when she used to pray at home kneelling by that old table. If she could only go back and tell her friend all about it; just once kneeling where John used to seem to come and join her. This feeling grew and grew, though, as there was no one to tell it to, she shut it up in her own lonely old heart. One summer morning she was missing, and she could uot be found though they all searched everywhere they could think she would be likely to wander, but in vain; she was gone. Then Alfred recollected all at once that he had rather neglected his mother of late. His wife forgot her cultured calmness and joined in the search, weeping bitterly. Henry left his desk for once and got telegraph wires to work, and confusion and grief reigned Su preme, while the sons and daughters found their thoughts running back to childhood and mother again as they had not done for years. Hours passed, and no news' came from the missing, then their fears and griefs grew greater and stronger. Mother was gone. Perhaps she has gone home. The thought was sudden, and too impatient to wait for trains not due for hours yet, they set off across the country in their carriage. As they drew near the old home they found news of the lost one. She had passed only about an hour before plod ding wearily along the familial road, and with lightened hearts they hurried on. When they came to the leaning old gate, through the wet grass they could see a solitary- pathway trodden by one who first visited the low mound with the tiny one beside it, and from there it led straight on to the house. So, with tear ful eyes, and not ashamed of their tears cither, the party' tip toed like children up the low rickety steps, through the hall, and paused reverently at the door, with remorseful hearts that longed to tell the gentle old mother, as they were wont to do over some childish disobedieure, that they "were sorry, mother." The stillness in the old house rew oppressive wdiile they stood uncertain, and though they listened, there was 110 faint foot fall as of one going about after the fashion of one just getting home. They softly pushed open the door of the old family sitting room, and there, with her old gray head bowed on thr family Bible, and a smile of joy and peace on her dear dead face, knelt mother, who had gone home to find rest and content with John already there.

John Townshend, of 302 West Seventy-third street. New York, gives information that the story of the sailor James Hartley, sup posed to have been shallowed by a whale and rescued alive, refer ence to what was made in Tues day's issue of the New York Times, was printed in detail in the Mercury of South Yarmouth, England, in October 1891. Bartlev sailed on ihe Star of the East, and is supposed to have met with his adventure in the vicinity of the Falkland Islands. Mr. Townshend says the story is a goood seaman's yarn, whether one chooses to believe it or not. According to the story, which is told in great detail, "the ship sighted a whale one morning on her starboard 'quarter. Two boats were manned, and in a short time one was near enough to spear the whale, which was an unusually large one. The fish made a terrific fieht. Both boats got spears fastened in it, and were dragged some three miles. "Finally, when the whale came to the surface, it managed to strike one of the boats with its nose. The boat was upset. One man was drowned, and another, named James Bartley, disappear ed. It was supposed at the time that he, too, had been drowned. "The whale gave up at last and was taken back to the side of the ship. The crew went to work with axes and spades to secure the fat. They worked all day and a part of the night, and resumed operations the next forenoon. They had now reach ed the stomach and were clean ing it to hoist it on deck when they were startled to notice something inside of it which gave spasmodic signs of life. "The vast pouch was hoisted j to the deck and cut open, and inside was found the missing sailor doubled up and uncon scious. He was laid out on deck and treated to a bath of sea water, which soon revived him, but his mind was not clear, and he was placed in the Captain's quarters, where he remained two weeks a raving lunatic. He was carefully treated by the Captain and officers of the ship, and he finally began to get possession of his senses. At the end of the third week he had entirely re covered from his shock and re sumed his duties. "During the brief sojourn in the whale's belly Hartley's skin, where it was exposed to the acs tren of the gastric juices, under went a strikiug change. His face and hands were bleached to a deathly whiteness, and the skin was wrinkled, giving the man the appearance of having been parboiled. "Bartley affirmed that he could probably have lived inside of his house of flesh until he starved, for he lost his senses through fright, and not through lack or air. He says that he remembers the sensation of being lifted into the air by the nose of the whale and of falling into the water. Then there was a fearful rushing sound, which he believed to be the beating of the water by the whale's tail. Then he was en compassed by a fearful darkness, and - he lelt himself slipping along a smooth passage of some sort that seemed to move and carry him forward. 'This sensation lasted but an instant. .Then he felt that he had more room. He lelt about him, and his hands came in con tact with a yielding, slimy sub stance that seemed to shrink from his touch. - It finally dawn ed on him that he had been swallowed by the whale, and he was overcome with horror at the situation. He could breathe easily, but the heat was terrible. It was not of a scorching, stifling nature, but it seemed to open the pores of his skin and draw out his vitality. "He became very v :ak, and grew 'sick at the ston.h. He knew that there was no hope of escape from his strange prison. Death stared him in the face and he tried, to look at it bravely, but the awful quiet, the fearful dark ness, the horrible knowledge of his environments, and "the ter rible heat finally overcame him, and he must have fainted, for the next he remembered being in the captain's cabin." The account further says: "The health of the man does not seem to have been, affected. He is in splenld spirits aud appar ently enjoys all the blessings ol life that come in his way. The whaling captains say they never knew a parallel case. They say that it frequently occurs that men are swal'o ved by whales who become infuriated by the pain of the harpoon and attack the boats, but they have never known a man to go through the ordeal that Bartley did and come out alive." GOLD FOR 500 MILKS. Survey Expedition Returns Re porting Unlimited Quantities of ore in Alaska. Wonderful news is brought by a geological survey expedi tion which has just returned to Washington, D. C, from Alaska, under the leadership of J. E. Spurr. It is nothing less than the discovery in Uncle Sam's Arctic province of an immense gold belt, which promises to rival in productiveness the mines of South Africa. Unlim ited quantities of ore are actually in sight, the auriferous area be ing not less than 500 miles long, with a width of from fifty to 100 miles. The expedition was sent out last spring for the purpose of as certaining, if possible, the source of the gold found in the placers of the Yukon Valley. During the last three years there has been a rush of miners to that re gion, where the yellow metal is obtained so abundantly as to yield excellent returns, notwith standing the difficulties involved in getting it. The country has no resources worth mentioning, so that even the resident Indians are half starved, not being able to catch enough fish to supply their wants. Consequently, pro visions and supplies of all sorts for the miners must be fetched from the State of Washington or from California, involving great cost. The expense of transport ing machinery is proportionate, and thus it comes about that the workers employ the most primi tive means of securing the gold. THE PENSY IS AFTER IT. THE BIG NORTHERN SYSTKM WANTS THE NORFOLK & SOUTHERN. For some time it has been whispered in railway circles in Norfolk that the Pennsylvania Railway is after the Norfolk & Southern. Intimate business relations have always been sus tained between the two lines, aud it would be manifestly to the Pennsylvania's interest to secure control of this important link between Norfolk and the rich sound country of North Carolina, and the impression that Pensy has her eye on the Norfolk & Southern was strengthened yes terday, when President Cossatt, of the New York, Philadelphia and Norfolk division of the Pennsylvania, accompanied by several directors of his line, ac companied by President Dicker man, of the Norfolk & Southern, left over that line ostensibly for a gunning trip. It was gener ally supposed, however, that it is a tour of inspection preparatory to making a bid for the property. The Pennsylvania recently pur chased considerable property here for a terminal, and intends connecting by means ot the pro4 posed belt line with the Norfolk & Southern and other lines cen tering here. The rumor of the proposed deal as yet remains but a rumor in the absence of authoriative information, but is regarded, nevertheless, as a well grounded possibility. Norfolk Virginian An Important Office. To properly fill its office end functions,, it is important that the blood be pure. When it is in such a condition, the body is almost certain to be healthy. A complaint at this time is catarrh in some of its various forms. A slight cold develops the disease in the head. Droppings of corruption passing into the lungs bring on consumption. The only way to cure this disease is to purify the blood. The most obstinate cases ol catarrh yield to the medicinal powers of Hood's Sarsaparilla as if by magic, simply because it reaches the seat of the disease, and by purifying and vital izing the blood, removes the cause. Not only does Hood's Sarsaparilla do this but it gives renewed vigor to the whole system, making it possible for good health toreign supreme. ftfllLESS HERMIT ISLANDS IN SOUTH SEA THE INHABITED BY WOMEN A Western Man will Carry a Colony There. L.J. Keinhart, a carpenter o San Francisco, Cl., is trying to raise a body of men to under take a novel colonization project His plan is to buy a vessel equipt it and sail to the St.John or Hermit Islands, in the South Pacific Ocean, where no iuhabi tants are left but South Sea Is laud belles, wdiose husbands and brothers have been killed in cannibal wars or taken away by concienceless raiders. Captain Bergman, of the American steamer Bonanza, re cently sent the news to that city of the peculiar condition of af fairs on the Hermit Islands. He said his ship was blown out of its course and anchored close to one of the islands. The captain was astonished to see nothing but women on the coral reef, for the island was hardly more than that. The women swam like mer maids to the ship. They told of the condition of affairs on the is land and wanted the captain to leave some of his sailors. They sa'd they would heap on them all the honors of royalty it they would take up their residence there. Mr. Reinhart says he is satis fied with the condition of the labor world and wants to lead a peaceful existence on the islands without having to struggle day and night for bread and butter. He wants to form a republic on co operative lines. Mr. Reinhart says that as it is in the South Sea the islands support the na tives with little work. He proposes to get fifty men to contribute $2$ each. With this money he expects to buy a schooner and provisions for the voyage. Soon after lauding the men, it is proposed, are to build a fort and then take possession of the tillable ground. Such of them as desire to take wives un to themselves in the colony can wed native belles, as John Rolfe wedded Pocahontas. Mr. Rein hart says that in a few years they ought to be exporting large quantities of South sea island produce. As there are no men on the island he says the oppor tunity to take possession of the land without opposition is one seldom had by colonists. "I escaped beiu- a confirmed dys pepsic by taking Ayer's Pills in time." This is the experience of many. Ayer's Pills, whether as an after-dinner pill or as a remedy for liver complaint, indi gestion, flatulency, water brash, aud nausea, are invaluable. WOMAN OVERAWES rA MOB. Her Loaded Pistol Prevents a Lynching in Missouri. A mob, estimated at from three to five hundren men, surrounded and quietly entered the county jail at Richmond, Mo., on Mon day last, and demanded the keys to the cell room, announcing their intention to lynch Jesse Winter and "Lon" Lackey, who arc iu jail on the charge of mur dering Mrs. Winnar and her two children. Some of the mob started up the stairs to get the key from Sheriff Holman, but they were met at the top steps by Mrs. Holman, who, with a loaded re volver, warned them not to ad vance further. The mob gave wav before the determined wos man and retired. Catarrh Cannot be Cured with local applications, as they cannot reach the seat of the disease. Catarrh is a blood or constitutional disease and in order to cure it you must take inter nal remedies. Hall's Catarrh Cure is taken internally, and acts directly on the blocd and mucous surfaces. Hall's Catarrh Cuie is not a quack medicine. It was prescribed by one of the best physicians in this country for years, and is a regular prescription. It is eontposed of the best tonics known combined with the best blood purifiers' acting directly on the mucous surfaces. The perfect combination of the two in gredients is what produces such won derful results in curing Catarrh. Send for testimonials, free. F. J.

Three trains of the Charlotte Columbia and Augusta division of the Southern Railway, filled with passeugers, United State.1 mail aud Southern Express matter, were seized by a sheriff one day last week, for an unpaid judgment. - One ot the engines had killed a horse about a year ago. As the local irom Augusta reached Wiunsboro, N. C, the sheriff ran up and chained the wheels of the engine to the track. Producing his documents he called loudly for a settlement of the $119 judgment against the company. The passengers streamed out in no amiaoie irame 01 minn. The sheriff offered to release the mail car, but the railroad men refused to accept this offer. The North bound vestibule, the South bound local from Char- otte, N. C, aud the attached train were delayed lor several lours before the company's agents gave satisfactory bond for the payment of the claim. Then the sheriff took off the chains and the trains moved on. Crossed ThePacIfic In a Boat. A letter received a few days tgo at Boston, Mass., from Aus ralia brings news of the arrival at Sydney, on September 39th, of the little thirteen-ton yacht Spray, with her solitary naviga- or, Captain Slocum. The little craft left Boston April 24th. The captain observed: "A voyage in a craft like this, without a single companion, involves many hard ships; but the sea is my proper element, and I managed to pull through all right. You see, I have faith in the Almighty, and great faith in myself; conse quently, everything turns up correct." The captain passed much of the time iu reading novels, and slept whenever he liked. He called at Samoa, where he saw Mrs. Robert Louis Stevenson. He also called at Juan Pernandez, and had some rough experiences rounding Cape Horn. A cup of muddy coffee is uot whole some, neither is a bottle of muddy med; icine. One way to know a reliable aud skillfully-prepared blood-purifier is by its freedom from sediment. Ayer's Sarsaparilla is always bright and sparkling, because it is an extract and not a decoctior. Young Girl Horribly Mangled. William Hallock, fourteen years old, and his cousin, Louise Brondis, twelve years old, went to the Manhattan Electric Sup ply Works, in Jersey City, last Saturday afternoon to accompany young Hallock's father home when his work had heen finish ed. The children went to the fifth floor, where there is a ver tical shaft operated by machin ery in the basement. In some way unknown the girl's cloth ing caught in the shaft. It whirled her around the shaft, and every revolution her head struck against the wall. The boy ran tcThelp his cousin, but he became entangled in the shaft, and was hurled against the wall with such force that one leg was broken and he was rendered un conscious. The eider Hallock found that the girl's head had been battered to pieces, and her body was torn into bits. The boy lay senseless beside the wall. More Curative Power Is contained in a bottle of Hood's Sar saparilla than in any other similar preparation. It costs the proprietor and manufacturer more. It costs the jobber more and it is worth more to the consumer. It has a record of cures unknown to any other preparation. It is the best to buy because it is the One True Blood Purifier. Hood's Tills are the best family ca thartic and liver medicine. Gentle, reliable, sure. The Ladies Mackintoshes at "The Fair" were bought at a big bargain and you can get the benefit of it.
