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.

| 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.

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

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.

the WATTEAU BOW.
It requires about 10 yards of ribbon,
two and a half inches wide, to make
the fashionable Watteau bow, girdle
and shoulder—bows which form the
set of ribbons used as an ornament to
dresses of graduates and to summer
afternoon gowns of dainty sheer
material. Irridescent nacro tinted
ribbons have been very much used for
this purpose, and undoubtedly will be
the choice ot the'graduates, as white
ribbons merely touched with irride-
scence are the prettiest ribbons of
this kind an,d give a dainty relief to a
toilet of pure white. — [New York
Tribune.
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

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^

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. The squeaking sand, on
the other hand, is silent when dry and
squeaks best and loudest when moistened.
The sound it gives forth is by no mean-
loud,but somewhat resembles the squeak
ing of an armchair. It sounds when
rubbed between the fingers or when
placed in a small bag and violentl}
struck but the cause of the sound a
mystery.—St. Louis Globe-Doraoc,at.
