Of this entertainment the At lanta Constitution of October 16th says: “Hillyer’s gift show gave a re markable performance of myster ies of spiritualism and mind read ing at the Lyceum last night.

Having lost their wager, Misses Kramer and Michael last Thurs day night prepared to suffer the penance. They pleaded for the privilege of a male escort, but the other girls would not grant this. They, however, permitted the girls to take with them a dog as com pany. At midnight the McKinley girls accompanied by their beaux, stole in a roundabout way to the old ouse.

(From the New York World.) Statiatics recently collected by a well known trade journal exhib it in a very striking way the >arallel growth the United Mates and the leading countries of Europe in trade and popula tion. Impressed by the magnitude of onr own growth, we believed for a ;ime that it was unique. But this theory is no longer tenable. Al though this country has grown aster than any one of the eight eading countries of Europe, nearly all show great increases both in wealth and population. Taking the United StatVk, Great Britain, France, Germany, Aus- tria-Hnngary, Italy, Russia and Holland in a single gro?p they show an increase in population between 1860 and 1890 of over 180,000,000, of which 32,000,000 belong to the United States. This represents for us almost exactly 100 per cent of growth, and it is the highest percentage in the group, although Russia, with lower percentage, shows a growth of 36,000,000. Germany increased over a third, Austria-Hungary over a’fouth, Italy a fifth, Great Britain not quite a fourth, while France remained almost station ary. The percentage increase for the entire group is 62 1-4 for popula tion, and 222 for trade in the last four decades. Onr own trade in creases in that time is well above the average, being from $513,000,- 000 to ever $1,600,000,000 or more sur- •till total Jo>eph L. Oliver.

His landlord discovered him dead in bed, hav ing investigated the odor of ssoap- x ing gas which came from Oliver's room about 4 p. m. A physician said he had been dead fer some hours. The gas was partly turned on, tbs jet being urr.ed before the window which was open a trifle at the top. There were no evidences of suicide. Two of Oliver’s friends, who spent Sat urday evening with him, say that he was in good spirits all night and when he left them, was per fectly sober.

Miss Kramer the young men, gathering fagots for torches, hur ried in the direction which the girl had taken. They called re peatedly, but it was fully an hour before they found the poor creature. She had heard them call her name, and from behind a big rock, where she took refuge, she answered. Miss Kramer was trembling like an aspen leaf, and although she tried to laugh with the rest, the at tempt was a miserable failure. That night, after reaching home, she again became delirious and called piteously for some body to take away those hideous ghosts.
