/ 7 " s THE SANTA MARIA’S VOYAGE. Spain’* Celebration of the Sail ing ot Columbus. The Little Caravel Starts From the Port of Palos. A cablegram from Palos, Spain, says: On the four hundredth anniversary of the day on which Columbus set sail from Palos westward on his voyage of discovery the festivities arranged here for celebrating the day were carried out with great eclat. The view from the town, however, was obscured by a thick mist which hung over the river and rendered it impossible to see more than a dim outline of the bulls of the vessels lying at anchor. At 6 o’clock, the hour at which Columbus began his voyage, the ciravel Santa Maria, constructed in imitation of the vessel of that name belonging to the Columbus expedi tion, which had been lying off shore all night, set her sails for her passage through the lines of warships anchored outside the bar, but owing to the dead calm a line was run to her from a gunboat, and she was towed down stream, followed by the Span ish flotilla in single file. Minister of Marine Montigo was on board the warship Legespi. The vovage down the river past the Mon astery of La Rabida, on.which the flags of all the American States were dying, to the bar occupied about an hour. Outside the bar were moored the vessels of the foreign squadrons which had come to take part in the celebration. These vessels were formed in lines, between which the caravel passed amid the thundering salutes and deafening cheers. The mist and the smoke from the guns made it impossible to watch the manoeuvre^ of the caravel, which followed for some dis tance the route taken by Columbus400 years ago. At 9 o’clock the little vessel returned and re-entered theriver. The town of Huelva is crowded with visitors, and all the buildings, both private and public, are gayly decorated. Fifteen of the Spanish flotilla conveyed the Santa Maria several miles to sea, and when the signal was given by the Spanish Minister of Marine for the vessel to return the caravel was given a farewell salute. The caravel returned with the flotilla to Huelva. These manoeuvres were part of a ceremonial in celebration of the departure of Columbus. A dispatch from Washington says: The following cable messages were exchanged on the anniversary day: The President: To-day four hundred years ago Columbus sailed trom Palo?, discovering America The United States flag is being hoisted this moment in front of Convent La Rabida along with banners of all American States. Batteries and ships saluting, accompanied by enthusiastic acclamations of the people, army and navy. God bless America. Prieto. Alcalde of Palos. Department op State, » Washington, August 3. 1892. f Senor Prieto, Alcaide de Palos, La Rabida, Spain: The President of the United States directs me to cordially acknowledge your message of greeting. Upon this memorable day, thus fittingly celebrated, the people of the new Western world, in grateful reverence to the name and fame of Columbus, join hands with the sons of the brave sailors of Palos and Huelva who manned the discoverer's caravels. Foster, Secretary of State. WOELD'S FAIR NOTES. The Government of Mexico will exhibit at the World’s Fair a large and valuable collection of Aztec relics. The largest American flag ever made will float from the top of a very lofty "liberty pole” in front of the Administration build ing at the World’s Fair. The architects of the world are to be invited to a congress at Chicago during the World’s Fair to discuss architectural sub jects and the interests of the profession. . Canada will erect a World’s Fair build ing at Chicago 100 feet long by forty-four feet wide, with a ten foot veranda surround ing it on all sides. Plans have been sub mitted for approval. The World’s Fair Commission of the State of New York has applied to the Ex position through the Department of Trans portation for 1259 square feet of space for the exhibition of a great relief map of the canal system of that State. The California State World’s Fair Board has given permission to Miss Rav Beveridge, of San Francisco, to set up and operate a mina’ure blacksmith’s forge in the Califor nia huilding. Miss Beveridge is a niece of Ex-Governor John L. Beveridge, of Illinois, and is said to be an expert at the anvil. The women of New York State will fur nish and decorate the library room in the Woman’s building at the ' World’s Fair. Plans are perfected to make the furnishings very elaborate and tasteful. The room will contain as complete a collection as is possi ble to gather or works written by women. In the Government building at the World’s Fair will be exbioited the original standard surveyor’s chain, authorized by act of Con gress, May 18, 1797, for executing surveys of Government lauds. The chain was m&ae by Benjamin Ritt-nhouse, of Philadelphia, in 1197, and is still in the same hard wood box in which it was sent out by the manufac turer. The flora of Montana will ba shown at the World’s Fair by a collection as complete as it is possible to make it. The State has about 100J different varieties of wild flowers ana of these 800 have already been coliectei. The exhibit will include also a display of grasses and forage plauts. Many of the States are preparing similar exhibits of their flora. The World’s Fair Commission of New Soutu Wales has decided to send to Chicago for exhibition in the Horticultural Depart ment of the Exposition the following typical representatives of Australian vegetation and flora: Tree ferns, staghorn ferns, birds- nest terns, todea ferns, macrozimias of two distinct Kinds, gigantic lines, rocs lilies and grass trees. Wisconsin, throng i its World’s Fair Bota o, has asKed that May 29, 1893. be des ignated as "Wisconsin Day” at tne Exposi tion. That date is the forty-Ilf th anniver sary ot the admission of the State into the Union, and it desires to celebrate It in an appropriate manner at the Fair. it is expected th*t each State will have a day set apart upon wnich to monopolize public attention as far us possiule. Sousa’s baud—the one ne is now organiz ing lor Ouicago—will be a prominent par ticipant in the Vitoria’s Fair dedication ex ercises next Octotier. it is Mouse's intention to oraw liner ally on the nest musical talent in this country and abroad, m order that the new baud may eclipse every other organiza tion ot the kind on this side or the Atlantic, not excepting tne celebrated National Ma rine Baud at Washington, of wnich ue has been the head. NATIONAL FINANCES. A Decrease ot JS1.197,815 in the Public Debt. The fiscal operations ot the Government during last month, as shown by the monthly public debt and revenue statements, present gratifying results for the first month of the current fiscal year. Tuere was a net de crease of $1,197,815 in the public debt, and an increase during the last month, compared with July, 1891. of a quar ter of a million in receipts and a de crease ot $2,500,030 in expenditures. The public debt statement shows an increase during the last month of $1053 in the bondei in lebtedness, a decrease of $849,956 in tbe non-interest-bearing debt, and an in crease of $357,939 in the suroius cash in the Treasury. The surplus in the Treasury, including the $100,000,003 goid greenback redemption fund, aggre-' gates $127,053,286. The total debt loss sur plus cash in the Treasury, amounts to $840,- 828,648: made up of $585,030,380 in bondei and $255,293,264 in non-interest bearing debt. Government receipts during last month •mounted to $54,571,356, against $34,300,344 in July, 1891. The expenditures were $37,- $49,407, against $39,79:,911 in July a year ago. | THE COBONEB’S INQUhSl. A Verdict Recommending Home stead Rioters to the Grand Jury. The inquest into the ceaths resulting from tbe riots at Homestead, Penn., was con cluded at Pittsburg before Coroner Mc Dowell. The jury was out about an hour before tbeir verdict was returned. There were no witnesses examined, the only matter being the charge of the Coroner. At 4:40 o’clock the verdict was rendered. The return in the cases of the seven strikers who were killed reads almost alike with each one. That on the death of Sfias Wain states that he came to bis death while in the company of others in unlaw ful assembly noon the property of Carne gie, Phipps & Co.’s steel works, Mifflin township, to prevent the landing of two model barges loaded with Pinkerton guards to protect the said property, and be being struck by a missile from a cannon, which bad been taken by said unlawful assembly to the Pittsburg side of the Monongahela River and discharged by them, striking and instantly killing the said Silas Wain, and we recomneud that said unlawlul assembly be certified to the September sessions of tbe Grand Jury. In the cases of the three Pinkerton men similar returns were made in each. That on the death of T. J. Conners states tbat it was caused from snock and exhaus tion. due to a gunshot wound in the rignt arm, he being snot by a ball from an unlaw ful assemblage, and “that said shooting was done by a party or parties unknown, with felonious intent, and we recommend that such unlawful assemblage be certified to the September sessions of the Grani Jury.” No attempt was made by the jury iu any ot the ten cases to designate tbe persons by whom the fatal shots were fired, further than to declare that there was an unlawful assemblage on the Carnegie property, wiueh led to a battle. LAJUIES* departhest PARAGUAY’S CHEWERS. In Paraguay it is chiefly the women who chew, ami travelers have often described their emotiooB when, on en tering a house, a lady dressed in satin and adorned with precious stones comes toward them, and before hold ing out her mouth to be kissed, as is the usual custom of welcome, pulls the beloved tobacco quid from her cheek pouch. Some of ihe South American tribes actually eat tobacco cut into small pieces.— [St. Louis Globe Democrat. A STRIKING OUTDOOR DRESS A striking outdoor dress is made of fawn corduroy cloth, with a full bodice and enormous sleeves of shot gold and fawn silk, patterned with a check in pale blue. It has a sleeveless coat of the corduroy, with black satin lapels and a deep folded waistband of satin finished with a rosette at the side. It is cut opt in a V at the back, and shows a little of the Bilk under-bodice. The trimming on tbe skirt consists of a narrow band of the shot silk, with a row of black velvet above and below. — [New York World. A BANK ROBBED. Twelve Hundred Dollar? Carried off From a Missouri Institution. The other afternoon at 5 o'clock four masked men rode up to the bank in Benton, Mo„ and two of them dismounted, while the others remained outside. The men on enter ing the bank presented revolvers at Cashier Smith and ordered him to hand over the cash in the bank. The cashier gave tha men about $1200, which they piaoed in a bag. and after caution ing Smith to remain inside the building they left. The men had hardly left the building when Cashier Smith gave tbe alarm, but be fore a posse could be gathered they had a good start. The men were well mounted. THE MABKET3.

THE AMERICAN GIRL’S VOICE. There is but one foreigner who has ever said a good word about tbe American girl’s speaking voice, and tbat is Mine. Marches!, the celebrated teacher ot vocal music iu Paris. She said that the reason the American girls were so successful as singers was be cause, as children, they were never afraid to speak out Their loud and unhesitating speech had kept the vocal chords facile, used to work, so that when the occasion for training came they respouded quickly and stood the necessary wear and tear of practice. The English girl, on the contrary, as a child, is taught not only to speak low, but to restrain her utterance, and the result is that her voice, although bo agreeable in quality, is monotonous^ and that her voice organs, having been long kept within limits, accomplish with difficulty the wide range required in singing.— [Boston Transcript. A WORD TO THE OUTING GIRL. And now a word to the outing girl who finds her face burned by the sun. The juice of the strawberry is one of the most exquisitely soothing balms for a hot or sunburnt face. Employed in cold cream instead of rose water, with a few drops of pure spirits of wine, it will be found delightful. The cucumber juice is another cooling remedy, especially if mixed with melon juice in equal quantities and stirred into cold cream. The flowers of spinach boiled in water as a cos metic aie well spoken of, and a hand ful of parsley thrown into a pitcher of perfectly boiling water is yet an other splendid erneny to sunburn and all its wicked works. Carrots and raw potatoes all play a part in beautifying the complexion. The former should be taken internally in the form of a mashed vegetable or part of soup, and the good effects of the latter are brought out by catting one in half and rubbing it nightly over the face before going to bed.— [New York Advertiser. BRAVE HEART AVON RICH LADY. A brave man once married the richest woman in the United States. Her wealth was so great tnat it com passed her about, and was, iu fact, a certain defence against suitors. While other girls laughed and danced and were besought for balls and picnics, this young woman sat at home, literally an object of terror; for while most men can overcome their fright at hundreds of thousands, or even at a million or two, twenty millions appal the stoutest heart. But in the town Was a professor, a shy man not given to society, hut ivith a mind open to facts of every description. A mutual friend once suggested to him that this lady would make a good Avife. The professor thought about it, and concluded U was true. So, undeterred by her great fortune, he proposed and vras accepted. Ho is still a professor, ho lias sons and daughters about him, but to those who know him and the circumstances he appears a great moral hero, ranged along the mind with Sir Henry Have lock and Gordon.—[New York Sun. THE CARE OF THE HAIR. A woman is apt to arrange her hair just as Dame Fashion decrees. Whether ;he prevailing style is be coming oi not is quite a secondary consideration. At nresent the Lair is puffed and arranfd in such a way | that each puff Btane up straight with a certain dignity alits own. The latest style of arranging the hair is to have tfe bang waved and parted in the midle. It should be waved at the sides and the back hair twisted in loops, each loop twisted tightly or stiffened with a piece of braided wire so tha it stands up by itself. The slighty waved bang is short, and just brrond it are curls which assume, by be means of wire, a perpendicular atitude. The ar rangement of the lair grows higher and higher. Another pretty wiy of dressing is to have the parted butf while the hair is coiled into a Grecan knot. Below the knot are curls vhfch reach to the nape of the neck. To tie women with low foreheads a new vay of arrang ing the hair is to lave the bang slightly curled back with a wavy, puffed effect. Beyond the puff are a mass of little curls, til doing tbeir best to stand as etraiglt as au arrow. The fluffy bang parfcd, their hair waved at the sides and drawn loosely with a Grecian knot is i style affected by young girls. Gra- hair never looks prettier than whet parted in the middle and slightly wav*l. The sub stitute for a bang is jist a few soft curls. The rest of tbe hair is drawn up on the head and iraided. The braid is arranged in sich a way that it extends from the top if the head to the nape of the nock n a graceful curve. It almost seems as if every coil of hair, every distinct puff, has its own peculiar ornament this stasou. There are jewelled daggers, tilted feathers studded with gems and alver and gold pins of all varieties. Tie circles of amber and tortoise whicl surround the Grecian knot are a mvelty. They come with daggers atachcd, Avhich are thrust through tht knot. The metal and ribbon Greciai bauds, with jewelled buckles, are tghtly banded around the coils and pufs of almost every arrangement of tin hair. The hair demauds a ce tniu amount of attention. It should bo kept un covered as much as possible, and tbe ends of the hair cut regularly each mouth. Soap should not be used on the hair, as it makes it brittle. If the hair is falling out, sage tea is one of the best preparations to wash it with. The roots of the hair must be rubbed with a sponge dipped in luke-wann sage tea. A good way to keep the hair clean is to wash it with a fresh egg. Rub the egg in until a lather is formed, then rinse the egg all out in warm water iu whicti has been put a drop or two of ammonia. When the hair is dry it will have a fluffy, light appear ance.— [New York World. FASHION NOTES. Petals of large flowers and crumpled rose leaves hold diamond dewdrops. Ropes of pearl and amber beads coil about the would-bo Grecian knot. ' Violet will be in vogue this season, together with greens, yellows aud old rose. Very beautiful and dainty are the white lace shoulder capes shown for summer wear. Trains are attempting little by little to disappear. They have commenced to be less long. A very big rose on a very small foundation of lace makes a fashion able Parisian bonnet. Some women prefer the coaching jacket of English make, with immense buttons of mother of pearl. Bodices have ail round waists, with high girdles and arrangements of crossed ribbon, knotted in a thousand ways. New waitress aprons seen in the best shops are of line lawn with wide hems and deep ruffles reaching to the bottom of the skirts. Striped fabrics continue in favor. The ground is of black and the stripes in satin of different colors, sometimes these being of green, sky blue, red or maize. A woman with a blue gown, whose bodice Avas a long-fitted coat, had re vets and gauntlet cuffs of white. She wore white dressed kids, the buttoned wrists slipped within the sleeves. Modern belles may get a suggestion from a statement recently encountered that the eighteenth-century ladies car ried a lemon in the left hand, setting i their teeth in it from time to time to redden the lips. The white chamois gauntlets are prettiest out of town, though so many white aud light gloves ate being worn that even these are liked with suit able gown?. A device of trimming i that give? the effect of a gauntlet glove, though a buttoned glove be worn, is to have a deep gauntlet sleeve cuff to be matched by the glove. A Dampening Reply. “What do you think of the idea of a woman taking advantage of leap year and proposing ?” she asked with an arch smile. “Oh, I guess it’s all right,” he said, “p^.'ided she doesn’t happen to get refused.”—[N. Y. Press. Remedy lor Squeaking Shoes. “A man who wears squeaky shoes is worse than a kiss without a mustache accompaniment,’’ said a modern girl to a Mail and Express man last night. She directed her glance toward a young man who was crossing a tiled floor. “Some women know more than men, and if I had that young man in my care for ten miuuBes 1 would give him some good ad vice. He does not make much money and cannot afford to buy expensive shoes, and has to be content with ready made ones. “Nearly all ready-made shoes squeak, and tbe reason is this: When the inner and outer souls are put together there m generally some grit between them, and the action of the foot causes the little pebbles, which are harder than the leather, to work like the ball bearings ot a bicycle, and thus the squeak. A dealer told me a way to remedy this. When your shoes squeak go to a shoe maker and have him put a peg in the middle of the sole and there will be no mure loud proclamations. “Another thing, when you buy a new pair of shoes and they hurt you, put wa ter in them and let it remain for a min ute, then pour it out, and it your shoes burn or hurt you after tnat you can say I am wrong. The water takes all the natural heat out of the leather, and make .he shoes comtortabie.” — New York Mail and Express. GEORGIA GOLD FIELDS. The Property and Prospect* ot the Atlanta Gold .Xlininz Co. Fully Described. The two articles appearinz recently in yrur journal have called forth such a flood of inquiries in relation to the plans, pros pects, etc., etc., of the Atlanta Gold Mining Coxnpanv, that the company has requested your correspondent to answer through the medium of the press the many questions which otherwise would require a score of letter writers. The property upon which the Atlanta Gold Mining Company proposes to begin opera tions is situated about 3)* miles east of Dahlonega, Ga.. consists of a forty-acre tract of land, which is crossed in a direction slightly east of north by the famous Cal houn Gold Belt, having on this lot a width of about 150 feet. The entire belt is com posed of alternate strata of soft s’ate and quartz, all bearing more or less gold. At different times witnin the past twenty years more or less mining has been done upon this lot, and while the work has mainly been confined to a very small portion of the vein, and bas always been of a cru le and desul tory character, the returns in gold have been extremely gratifying, and in several instances of sufficient "magnitude to put the miners, who. from time to time, have held leases upon the lot, in very strong financial circumstances. The total cost of all the work thus far done upon the lot would not under the direction of a competent mining engimer, provided with proper appliances, exceed $5000, and the total gold derived from this work, covering not over two acres of the forty acres, is considerably over $60,- 000. The vein or lead is well defined through out the whole length of the lot, about one- quartef mile, and has been explore i at a number of places by shafts and tunnels, proving its continuance in size and richness from one end of the lot tc the other, a fact which is further evidenced by the valuable and rich mining properties lying upon the extension of this lead, both north and south of the property of the Atlanta Gold Mining Company. Tbe shafts sunk upon this lead have gone to a depth of about forty feet, and have, without excep tion, followed down quartz veins which grad ually increased in s:z; and richness as depth was attained. Hitherto the mining has been conducted principally with water, except where shafts were sunk, and the ore passed through sluice boxes depending s dely for a means of separation upon the gravity of the gold, and consequently allowing much of the fine gold and all the gold contained in the undecomposed sulphurets to run to waste. This loss, resulting from causes noted above, bas amounted to fully one-halt the assay value of the ore, as demonstrated by determinations made with great care and exactness by the company. The Atlanta Gold Mining Company now proposes to put in operation machinery tor mining which will greatly cheapen the cost of the ore per ton delivered at the mill?,and appliances that will save at the mill not alone tbs heavy free gold, but all finer par ticles, and the gold contained in the sul phurets as well. The experiments made by the company have demonstrated that a mill with a capac ity of twenty tons can be supplied with ore for many years and will yield an annual profit ot $100,000 or upward. The average assay value of the ore approximates $25 per ton. and a mc*j&rn mill properly equipped, costing $12,000 to $14,030, in the hauus of an experienced millman, should save at least 85 per cent, of the full assay value. The Atlanta Gold Mining Company has r>een in corporated with a capital of $100,000, in shares of $10 each, fully paid and non-assess- able, and one-half this capital stock, or $50,000, has been placed in the treasury as a working capital. A. portion of this treasury stock, sufficient to cover the cost of the mill and sued other improvements as the company has in contem plation, is now offered for sale at 50 per cent, of its par value, or $5 per share. The Southern Banking and Trust Company of Atlanta, Ga., is the transfer agent ot the company, and all orders for shares should be addressed to them or to the Atlanta Gold Mining Company, No. 7 North Pryor street^ Atlanta, Ga. seeing nitn one Eye. A person may see as far with one per fect eye as with two, but he can not see as clearly; for the advantage that bino cular, or double, vision jiossesses over monocular or one-eyed vision, is that the former, by allowing the observer to catch sight of tbe object from two different points of view, gives him at once some idea of the proportions of its different parts. But though this i* true in theory, in practice the judgment interferes and the judgment has been educated and in some measure rendered independent of the services of binocular vision, by experi ence and the use of other senses, such as touch. Thus a man with only one eye is never deceived as to the nature of an object with which he is well acquainted, for the re|>ort of it that he gets trom his vision is corrected aud supplemented by his ex perienced judgment and transmitted to his centers of consciousness in as perfect a form as that which reaches those of a man with two eyes. The advantages of binocular vision may be thus further illustrated: In rapidly dipping a pen into an inkstand or putting a stopper into a decanter the one- eyed-man cannot judge so accurately as the two-eyed man. Or, again, if we shut one eye and attempt to plunge the i fiuger rapidly into the open mouth of a bottle we are apt to over-reach or fall short of it.—Washington Post. Squeaking Sands. Sieging sands are found in many parts of the United States, but squeaking sands are not so common. There istnly one place in this country where the squeaking sand is found, and that is a small plain in South Colorado. The singing sand emits a musical sound only when dry and looses this property on be ing dampened.
