A Goodly Gathering In Charleston-What the Newspaper Men Did at Their Meeting. (From the News and Courier.) C The thirteenth annual meeting of the c Press Association was held at the armory of the Washington Light Infantry Thursday I night. The attendance ol nieibers was 1 not as large as it has been heretofore, owing to the fact that a good many of the mem- 2 bers arrived on the late trains. The fol- I lowing members were found present, how ever, and the meeting was called to order by the President, Col. M. B. McSweeney: Hampton Guardian, Col. M. B. 3fc Sweeney. Aiken Journal and Rcricc.

Laurensv'ille Ilerald. Col. T. B. Crews. Anderson Journal, Major A. S. Todd. Messrs. C. H. Prince and J. A. Moroso were elected secretaries. The reading of the minutes was, on motion of Major Melchers, dispensed with, and Mr. W. A Jones, the annual orator, was introduced, and read an address on the subject of rail road discriminations. The address was thoughtful, practical and to the point, and was heartily applauded. At its close Capt. F. W. Dawson moved that the cordial thanks of the Association be tendered to Mr. W. M. Jones for his < eminently thoughtful and suggestive ad-t dress. It touches, he said, matters of special importance to us at tis time, fori within the past few days an mistance hasI occurred showing that a certain railroad mangement had no more regard for the interests of the people of the State than a child would have for the puny ant-hills be neath his feet. He also expressed the hope that the address would be placed at the disposal &-ttie Association for publication. The maisters it treated of should be brought to the attention of the people of the State. The Neres and Courier, he said, wouik be glad to publish it. The motion, seconded by Col. C. E. R. Drayton, was unanimously adepted, and the secretaries were directed to procure a copy of the address for publication in- the News and Courier. On motion of Mr. C. II. Prince, the ad dress was also directed to be published in the minutes of the Association. The president then stated that he had re ceived an invitation from the News and Caurier for the members of the Associa tion to go on an excursion around the har bor to-day. The invitation was accepted and the arrangements announced. The president was also requested to con vey t.he thanks of the Association to the. Washington Light Infantry for the use of the armory for the meeting. . The Association then entered upon a dis < cussion of matters of interest to the profes-. sion, the principal topics discussed being ~the rates for foreign advertisements and the3 regulations of delinquent subscribers. The di-scussion was participated in by Messrs. Jones, McSwen -.Drayton, Daw so h~snf~es and e icitedh a pulexpression of the views and experiences of the members. The meeting, after he-ir ing the treasurer's report read by Major ~ Franz Melchers, took a recess until 9 o'clock Friday morning. The Association met at the armory' of the Washington Light Infatntry- at 9 o'clock e Friday. After the election of office: st and fmnishing up the business, the nmembers t and their triends adjourned from the a armory to the Ferry w harf, where they em barkett on the steamer P ocosin placed at c their disposa~l by the Xeu-s an d Couerier Company. The visitors were taken up the l Ashely river to the new ridg~e, then down to Sumter. and aiteward run up the Cooper and Wando rivers, getting a glance at the picturesq~ue scenery on the banks of the Wando.

Sparnling Cataw ba Springs. (4%.rrespondence Charlotte Chironicle.) Ric-ony, May 24.-I see your paper conains an advertisement of the famous summer resort, located six miles from Hiceory and is reached by a drive over six miles of the best road that can be found in North Carolina. Here you will find the Sparkling Catawbu Springs which is fast gaining a reputation abroad for its great healing qualities. We have just returned from the Springs and find everything in apple-pie order for the comfort of guests. D)r. E. 0. Elliott .v Son have added largely to their capacity for entertaining guests and can now easily accommodate 400 people. The grounds are beautiful and parties wish ing to be away from the noise of a hotel can have rooms in cottages located on the grounds, of which there are about thiry. There will be a band of music at the Springs throughout the entire season and the young people who like to trip the light fantastic toe will find here a eol ball room and the best ot music as welt. You can get here baths of any description, from the plunge bath in the lrge building erect-.d especially for the purpose, with a swimaming capacity of 30x:5, but surrounded on either side by convenient dressing rooms. You can also get hot air and vapor baths if needed. The bowling alley is first class and is a good exercise to work up an ap petite for all the good things that is furnished on the tables by the proprie tors. We have visited nearly all the summer resorts in North Carolina, and we feel justified in saying that we believe there is no place in North Carolina or in the South where one can find better water, better air, more beautiful SAmry and better accommotaemftan the Sparkling Catadiliprngs. - The Cotton Movement.

Killed Bty a 5pidier'e Bile. Mr. Geo.

Sunday evening it died after Sultan Selin's Mosque. Sultan Selim's mosque at Adrianople is the linest in the Moslem world. Seen from a distance in the train, its rotunda and four tall minarets make itlook to western eves like a huge gasometer, but, says a writer in the London Times, it is worth while spending a day at Adrianople if only to see the inside of this marvelous building. Since the Rus'ians last came here and stamped all over the place with their muddy booIs, the Turks are no longer particular about requiring Ginours to go in unshod. A servant brings capacious babouches, which you drag on over your boots, and then vou skate respectfully over the ex qisitely clean matting which covers the entire floor. -The vast expanse of this circular tloor, the height of the dome, the countless painted arches and columns and the perfect stillness of the place, broken only by the plashing of a small fountain into a marble basin, pro duce a strangelv subdued effect. Thou sands and thousands of colored oil lamps hang in garlands from the pil lars and wails, and when all these are lighted up) for a religious festival, and wlien the floor cannot be seen for the mnul :t'.e of worshippers all kneeling, with 01 :.r heads bent and their palms on their thighs, the sight, as those who have witnessed it say, is one never to be forgotten. This mosque of Selim has 999 windows. and a thousandth which is closed. The great Sultan had order ed a thousand windows, and, when he heard that there was one shert, he sent for the architect and stroked his beard with an air which boded no good; but the architect, who deserved to live in the days of putf advertisements, re marked that a mosque with a thousand windows would convey nothing of odd itv to the curious, whereas a mosque with 999 windows and one closed would set people talking and wondering for g'-s. ~The mosque has another legend connected with a stone violet plant which is carved over its fountain. A poor man, who owned part of the ground over which the mosque is built, iefucd to sell his land unless a violet which had been planted by his wife was allowed to bloom upon it. The Sultan acct )ted the condition, and the viole1 was carefully railed in and tended, but in time it did, and the sovereign order ed that a fountain should be erected on the spot where it had blossomed, and that a stone violet should be carved upon it as a symbol of marital con stan cv. In a Battle-Panorama Studio. The central platform is, of course, th4 standpoint from which visitors will vies the panorama,-and therefore the artist are obliged to go to it frequently. as th< painting nears completion, in order t< observe the effect and progress of theii work. IThis, too, is the place of conference and despite the signs of "No Admit tance," within and without, visitors art frequent, and usually welcome. Thesi visitors are often veteran soldiers wh< took part in the action represented, am who often make helpful suzgestions. The arr-v stories that are told on tho central platform, would, if collected make a prodigious volume. The flooi of tihe platform is chalked and rechalk ed, some referring to the panorama it self, but more to illustrate occurrence upon other fields. The strong pine rai surrounding the platform is pencilled al over with kindred decorations, whil scraps of paper, upon which are memo randa of incidents, and a variety of data as well as names and addresses, art ninnedl to the convenient timber wit! Ithumnb-tacks. The artist paints steadily, every indi vidual being mainly occupied in perfect ing his own work, though never hesitat in;: to nsk~ or extend aid in some special diirection. One artist, for instance, has an excelient figure of a mtounted oflicer all complete "excepting the portrait a photocraphl for which is p)innedl to th< cauva s. Wihile this artist goes t< srenaghen a line of battle, anothei one will raupidly paint an adnmirabl< portrait for the incomplete figure. Soon anot her brush is busy with the horse, whijo another artist calls for some spec ial saddle and bridie to be brought t< the platformn that he may paint the trap pm rgs. Now, look at the back of the photo graph which is pinned to the canvas a faded curte de iisite of a young ofliker, upon a slip of paper wve read the follow iug: "Col.

This instance will give an idea of the way in which facts are preserved when a panorama is painted by artists who conscientiously strive to make of the work a great historical paintig.-17io dore 1R.

Thee gown's, by the way, have created more or less discussion, both in and out of prt. To my mind, however, they form no slight part of the same individ ulty thiat on every side besets the lady. To Ec Mis Eastlake arrayed in any hing~ but the soft, dark, clinging pu ues thatt are cut so as to hang primi chuliv fr. m the shoulders, with the bioal, deep frill cf fine embroidery or lace gathered around the neck, that have become famous in London as the -Eatlake collar," would seem like tak ing the pretty children that Kate Greenaway knew so well how to draw in picturesquec attire, and decking them, instead, like a French doll that the true Parisian chil' selects in one of the gay toy-shops of Paris. The word esthetic which hias been applied so often to Miss Eastlake, is not the proper word to use in describing her at all; that is, as we in this age in England and America understand the word. That Miss East lae is a believer in snsthetics is true, for she is a tirm believer in the science which treats of all that is beautiful in art and nature, which is the true deli nition of the wvord, but that she is limp. cmging, languid or sickly sentimental, eiher an manner or appearance, is a lbel (f the utmost magnitude.-Boston Herld. -Faith travels by an unseen track to honor and glory, neither shall anything turn her aside.
