I met an old man by the way,
And though the air was chill,
I said unto him, "Father,
Tray tell me, if you will,
"Why is it now from every land
The selfsame news we glean
That high and low, and rich and poor.
Do mourn for England's Queen?
"For surely 'twas but yesterday
When bitter things were said
About the English Dug that Hies
Where others shoulll instead.
"And well you know that every year
Some kingly form doth fall.
Yet bringeth not such sadness
To cottage, camp and hall."
"The world has lost its model,"
The old man said to me,
And must trace back a thousand years
For one as true as she.
"In Victoria, as in Alfred,
Hy universal plan.
It is the w oman that w e mourn.
As then, we mourned the man."

Tea Planting iu the South.
Experiments made in South Caro
lina by the Agricultural Department
iu tea growing have been so success
ful, says the New York Tribune,
that the industry is bound to be es
tablished in this country, with the
result of saving the $15,000,000 our
people now pay for Chinese, Japa
nese, Indian, Ceylon and other teas.
Xot only so, but we are destined, it
is claimed, to become a great tea-exporting
country, depriving the Far
East of its present monopoly. Al
ready considerable preparations are
making for tea plautiug on a large
scale in the Southern States. One
company, organized in New York, is
putting $50,000 into the venture, and
another with twice that capital is
forming. The conditions of soil, cli
mate and labor are said to be favor
able. Cheap labor has till recently
been thought to be a decisive advant
age possessed by the East, but Dr.
Suepard's work at Pinehurst Gar
dens, South Carolina, is thought to
have demonstrated that with the
present tariff on tea the herb can be
rown at a profit under the labor
conditions fouud in the South. Dr.
Shepard is credited with the sale of
$M,5(,0 worth of excellent tea during
the year 1S00. Some of the crop of
18U9 is said to have brought as much
as SI per pound.
There are teas and teas. We can
not compete with the cheap teas of
China that quality of Chinese tea has
greatly deteriorated in recent years
but we can produce first class grades
at a profit. The reason why Ceylon
has been able to displace China in
the best markets is that the latter
country has let the industry run
down, through inefficient or dishon
est inspections, while Ceylon has
given great attention to the prepa
ration, inspection and packing of its
teas. Fy like conscientious manage
ment, together with the use of only
the best qualities of the tea plant,
the Southern States can compete suc
cessfully, it is believed, with the
high-priced Ceylon teas. The exper
iments of the last three years seem
to show that good tea can be made
in South Carolina at a cost of 13
cents per pound. As an acre will
yield 400 pounds, the expense of cul
tivation per acre is about $C0, and
the profit, with tea selling at from
30 to 50 cents per pound, would be
from 100 to 175 per cent.
Secretary of Agriculture Wilson is
sanguine as to the future of the tea
industry in the Southern States. He
is sending out plants to all the Gulf
State agricultural colleges, with of
fers to aid them iu establishing ex
perimental tea gardens. The culture
of tea requires an annual rainfall of
CO iuches, and a temperature that
never falls withiu 15 degrees of zero.
It is desirable that the plant should
retain its leaves all the year round.
The first experiments will according
ly be made in the Gulf States and
later in North Carolina, Tennessee
aud the border States. Where irri
gation can be provided tea culture
may be prosecuted under conditions
of deficient rainfall. At Pinehurst
the rainfall is GO inches, which is in
adequate for certain kinds of tea.
The Secretary of Agriculture is of
opinion that the tea industry can be
carried on better through companies
thau through individuals, owing to
the large capital required to cultivate
any considerable number of acres.
Once 6tarted, it will develop rapidly
bv reason of the large profit of care
fully managed estates. A decided
improvement of the condition of the
Southern negro is expected from the
tea industry. Picking the leaves of
i the tea nlants becomes after a time
the chief work of a tea plantation,
and for this the negro children are
exactly suited. A new source of
employtneut and income is therefore
in prospect for a large class now
usually idle.

WOMEN IS MALE ATTIRE.
The Death of Murray Hall, of Kew York,
Recalls Jioted Predecessors.
Although Murray Hamilton Hall
lies buried in a quiet suburban cem
etery public interest in this most ex
traordinary woman does not end
with the grave. The story of her
career will continue to puzzle for
generations, says the New Yoik
World. The mystery about her is
how she was able, disguised as a man,
to live an active political and busi
ness life in New York city for up
ward of 30 years without revealing
the secret of her sex to any living
being, so far as known, except the
two women who successively passed
as her wives. For three decades she
came into daily contact with hun
dreds of persons, in politics and in
the conduct of her business of an
employment agency, liy all she was
supposed to be a man. In every
conceivable way she unsexed her
ielf, and this she did so well that no
detective, no Vidocq, ever equaled
her effects in all-around disguise.
She used few artificial devices. She
wore no wig. She did uot hide her
hands within gloves. She put her
self in many situations which it is
almost impossible to believe were
not acutely embarrassing such as
submitting to arrest and examina
nation in a police station but no
one ever penetrated her disguise.
The task which Murray Hall set her
self has attracted many women be
fore her, 6ays Dr. Cyrus Edson.
Most of them have gained a certain
sort of posthumous fame thereby.
In this fact may perhaps be found
Murray Hall's motive.
Of all the women who have played
the part of man and died playing it
the Countess Sarolta Vay is one of
the most famous. The Countess was
an Austrian girl aud attained cele
brity some 10 years ago. She was
the daughter of a colonel, who, hav
ing a large family of daughters,
brought up Sarolta as a boy. Her
girlhood was passed iu Pesth, where
she visited cafes in man's clothing
and draDk and smoked with journa
lists and officers. She published a
book of poems under the name of
Sandor, and appeared for the first
time in uniform shortly previous to
the time when her family first tried
to dissuade her from continuing her
disguise. She refused, however, and
was next heard of as a suitor for the
daughter of a school teacher in Kla-
genfurt. She was known there as
Count Sandor Vay, and as such mar
ried the young woman, Marie En-
gelhardt. The swindle was shortly
discovered, but not until after the
Count had squandered a good share J
of her "wife's" money.
Catherine Coombs, of London, is
one of the few among these phenom
enal women who is still alive. She
is now (Jo years old and is a resident
of West Ham Poorhouse, London.
For 43 years she was known asChas.
Wilson, and practiced the trade of
mural painting and decorating. Nor
would her altogether blameless mas
querade ever have been discovered
probably had "Charles Wilson" not
been injured by a fall and obliged to
go to an institution because no lon
ger able to support herself.
Hazleton, Pa., still boasts of a for
mer citizen wbose real name was
Mrs. Pietre Loganani, but who long
worked in the coal mines in mascu-
ine guise. One other disguised wo
man has successfully carried out her
scheme among the Pennsylvania mi
ners. Her name was Mrs. Julia Forest.
She was distinguished from many
other subjects of these interesting
experiments iu being of good birth,
the daughter of an Episcopalian cler
gyman, well educated, attractive in
person and manners. At 1G Julia
eloped with a miner, who afterward
became injured and was unable to
work. Shortly it was known in the
mine that Jonn rorest, a cousin oi
Julia, had taken her husband's place
in the mines. For a long time she
had practiced this innocent decep
tion and earned the money to sup
port her sick husband and children.
For 20 years Mrs. Jane Westover
was the town barber of Marlborough,
Conn. The best class of citizens
would be shaved by no one else than
this gentle expert with the razor,
who had come to town one day in a
man's coat, trousers and derby hat.
and who never changed her style of
dress.
One curious characteristic of wo
men who array themselves as men is
that they almost invariabl' hare the
gift of making other women fall in
love with them. ' This was the case
with Tony Leesa, who succeeded in
arousing the interest of almost eve
ry young woman employed in the
big hat factory of John T. Waring,
in Yonkers." But the inevitable be
fell Tony. He or she, if you will
fell in love. And while the factory
girls were still excitedly wondering
which of them he preferred, an
nouncement came of Tony's marriage
aod assumption of her proper sex.
The muster rolls of the Civil War
show a number of cases of soldiers
who were discovered to be women
Doubtless there were many others
who were never suspected. Iu Fox's
"Regimental Losses" the following
instances are given :
"Forty-sixth Pennsylvania, Com
pany D. 'Charles D. Fuller,' detected
as being a female; discharged.
"One Hundred and Twenty-sixth
Pennsylvania, Company F. 'Sergt.
Frank Mayne,' deserted August 24,
1SG2; subsequently kill in battle in
another regiment and discovered to
be a woman; real name Frances Day.
"Second Michigan, Company F.
'Franklin M. Thompson;' deserted.
Charges of desertion removed by
House Committee on Military Affairs
Washington, February, 1887, the
soldier having had a good record and
fought well in several battles, but
proved to be a woman; real name,
Miss Seelye.
"Twenty-sixth North Carolina (C.
S. A.), Company F., 'Mrs. . L. M.
Blaylock;' enlisted March 20, 1SG1;
discharged for being a woman."
One of the most remarkable cases
on record of a woman warrior has
passed for a man and fought like one
is that of Christian Caveuagh. She
lived in England in the last century.
She was married and had three chil
dren. Her husband was kidnapped
and carried off to Holland. There
he had to enlist as a private soldier.
Christian, hearing this, dressed as a
man and enlisted as a private soldier
to be near her husband. Site was
wounded at the battle of Lauden,
made prisoner by the French and
was carried to St. Germain enLaye,
where she remained until she was
exchanged. She quarreled with her
Sergeant, fought a duel with him and
was transferred to another regiment.
Again she was wounded at Ramillies.
While in the hospital there her se
cret was discovered. She was, how
ever, permitted to remain with the
regiment as a cook.
Many English army officers who
are still alive recall the case of 'Dr.
James Barry,' as the lady was called.
Fifty years ago her successful dis
guise was a current topic for gossip
in the English Army. An army sur
geon had served successively at the
Cape, at Malta and at Barbados.
This person was small, thin, wrin
kled, with strong vegetarian opin
ions. At the Cape he fought a duel
with an officer who had called him a
woman.
Mrs. Lindley, the wife of a soldier,
herself a soldier, went through some
of the sharpest engagements of the
Civil War disguised as a man. Mr.
aud Mrs. Lindley had been married
only a few mouths when the bride
groom was called to serve and en
listed iu Company D, Sixth Ohio
Cavalry. xt Yorktown Mrs. Lind
ley, who had taken the name of
'Tommy,' was under fire for the first
time. She bore it well, showing
none of the nervousness of her sex.
She was successively in the battles
of Fort Magruder, Hanover Court
house, Bull Ruu, Antietarn and
Boonesboro some of the bloodiest
fights of the war. She is still living,
the mother of several children.
Christina, Queen of Sweden, was
educated and dressed like a boy from
her birth, because her father was
disappointed at not having a son.
She was more a king than a queen,
and after four years of rule she re
signed her crown and went off to
amuse herself in Europe. She was
dressed in man's clothes and acted
as uproariously as any man whoever
owned his clothes by right of sex.
She was only 28 at this time.
A young Venetian, Tonina Mari
nello, fought through Garibaldi's
campaign, where she passed as the
brother of the man who was her hus
band. She was a brave soldier, so
fearless that nothing seemed to touch
her, and at the end of the war was
decorated for bravery.
- For 42 years Louis Herman has
been traveling around the world as a
man. She goes as a courier, speaks
several languages and behaves like a
man of the world. She was recently
arrested for masquerading as a man,
having just arrived in America.
Wants Her Hu-baml Hanged.
Mrs. John W. Beatty, wife of the
murderer of David Nine, near Terra
Alta, W. Va., has virtually signed
her husband's death warrant. Sev
eral days ago a petition was circu
lated, asking the Governor tochange
Beatty's sentence from hanging to
life imprisonment. He was sen
tenced to be hanged on ieb. lo in
the penitentiary at Mouudsville
Nine's friends started a counter pe
tition, praying that Beatty be hang
ed on the day set by the Judge. Mrs.
Beatty, the wife of the murderer, de
liberately signed this petition. She
is a sister of Nine, the murdered man.

Han ling Children to School.
Muscogee county (Ga ) school au
thorities are trying, on a limited
scale, a recent suggestion by the
State School Commissioner, Dr.
Glenn that children be hauled to
school in sparsely settled districts.
In the extreme northern part of the
county there are a number of families
who have some 12 or 15 children.
They petitioned for a school for the
community, but the County School
Board did not think that the number
of pupils authorized a school. The
nearest schoolhouse is some five
miles away, at Double Churches.
The board, as a compromise, agreed
to haul the children to that school.
A contract was made with a man in
that community who had a wagon
suitable for the purpose. This gen
tleman's 15-year-old son wished to at
tend school, and so he was installed
as driver. Every morning he drives
along the road and collects the chil
dren, who come to the main road
from their homes to meet him, and
carries them on to school. He and
his team spend the day, and in the
afternoon he carries the children
home. He thus earns a neat sum for
his father and at the same time is re
ceiving an education.
Sold His Wife For Fifty Cents.
Fifty cents was the price paid for
a wife in Easton, Pa., Monday night.
The transaction tdok place in North
ampton street, the principal thor
oughfare in that city, and was be
tween Frank Fisher and his buxom
Pennsylvania German wife, Lizzie,
of the first part, and Geo. Gardner,
of the second part. All parties to
the sale and purchase are perfectly
satisfied, aud there is no disposition
on the part of any of them to re
nounce the agreement.
For some time Fisher has been of
the opinion that his wife loved Gard
ner. Monday night Fisher and his
wife accidentally met Gardner on the
6treet. Fisher alleges that there
was an exchange of "goo-goo" eyes
between the pair, and that he saw
the flirtation. He accosted Gardner
and asked his wife to choose between
them. She picked upon Gardner,
and Fisher promptly offered to re
nounce all claims on his wife for 50
cents.
Gardner promptly paid the price
and marched away with his prize.
Later Gardner and Mrs. Fisher ap
peared at Alderman Stocker's office
and asked to be married. The re
quest was refused.
A Nun Eloped and (Jot Married.
A sensation was caused Tuesday
by the elopement and subsequent
marriage at Camden, N. J., of Row
land D. Moore, a prominent resident
of Laucaster, Pa., and Miss Ellen
Dugar, of Shamokin, Pa., who was a
nurse known as Sister M. Leonica at
St. Joseph's hospital, which ix con
ducted by the sisters of St. Francis.
Miss Dugar has been a nun for seven
years. A year and a half ago she
came to St. Joseph as a nurse and
she and Moore fell in love while the
latter was a patient in her care
Miss Dugar quietly left the hospital
Monday evening, went to the home
of a friend and early the next morn
ing left for Camden. Mr. Moore is
38 years old and Miss Dugar ten
years his junior.
A Novel Agreement to Wed.
Two young people of Jersey City,
N. J , desiring to marry and not hav
ing enough money, have entered into
an agreement, which was duly drawn
up before a Justice of the Peace, to
contribute weekly to the raising of a
fund of $1,500. If in two years the
sum shall not have been completed
the idea of marriage is to be forever
abandoned. It is provided that the
woman is to contribute $10 a week
and the man only $5. This is not be
cause his incidental expenses will be
greater than those of the woman
during the two j'ears, but because he
is making only $10 a week, whiia she
makes $14.
A Big Check.
Perhaps the largest check ever
made to a farmer in Georgia was that
give to Hon. James M. Smith, of
Oglethorpe coiinty, last week, when
an Augusta firm paid him $100,000
for 2,000 bales of cotton, which was
only a portion of his last year's crop.
This was at the rate of 10 cents per th.
Three years ago this cotton would
have brought hardly $50,000. Mr.
Smith is perhaps the most progres
sive and successful farmer in Geor
gia. He raises his own supplies, fills
bis barns from his own fields and his
smokehouse from his own pig pens.
A Train Couples Itself.
The Ontario & Western Railroad

could reach the brakes to stop the
rear section of the train, the two
parts had run together and coupled
themselves and ran on just as if noth
ing had happened.
