PRESS COMMENT ON
MCDONALD COMPANY.
_________
“Dixie Land” as played by the
McDonald Company, was one of
the most touching dramas, and
the audience last night was a
‘ large and enthusiastic one, says
the Fulton, Kentucky. Commer
cial. It was full of fun and
The old-time darkies of the South
were all there in their inimical
drollery and mirth—Southern
simplicity and ways of long ago.
The scenes and character sketch
es—the acting, songs and all,
was so much a part of the South,
that one was carried back once
more to the Southern cornfield
and cotton patches. The “masher
woman” had everything her own
way, and Josephus Squashtop
was “it” sure enough. But the
little soubrette was clear out of
sight in her charming ways of
caprice and sweet cunning. With
J;he news of the rebellion, the
pld gents hysterical pantomime
and the old lady was just awful
in her nervous parade of excite
ment and fear,
FLORENCE CRITTENTON
CIRCLE ORGANIZED.
t _ I
Last Saturday afternoon at the
residence of Mrs. C. E. Crook,
twenty-nine ladies of the differ
ent churches met and organized
a Florence Crittenton Circle.
This is a branch of the “Rescue
Home” of Little Rock, Ark.
It is seldom indeed that such
enthusiasm is manifested in
Newport as was evident at this
gathering, and it seemed con
tagious as the afternoon ad
vanced.
The work Mr. Crittenton so
nobly begun while in our midst,
has surely passed into safe
hands. Mrs. H. L. Remmel, who
is president of |the Little Rock
Home, was present and gave
freely of her experience, gained
during one year of work.
The circle was begun Friday
afternoon at the mothers’ meet
ing, at which time the following
officers were elected:
President, Mrs. D. W. Ander
son; Vice President, Mrs. Samuel
Taggart; Secretary, Mrs. C. E.
Crook; Treasurer, Mrs. M. A.
Dorsey.
n
Tt only cos"s $1.00 per year to
become a member, and all ladies
| an 1 gentlemen who are inter
1 ested in this cause, are invited
to join.
The first formal meeting will
he held at the M. E. church Oc
Loh::’ 25th, at 3:30 p. in. All the
ministers jf the city are request
ed to be pr.s .it and co-operate
in this much needed work.

you, let him first cast a stone at

MEMBERS OF CONGRESS.
Men Who Were Born in One Section
and Represent Another at
Washington.
There are few men in congress
who are natives of southern
states, but who have moved north
and represent northern constit
uencies, says the Washington
Post. There is but one man who
is a native of a northern state
who have been elected from the
south, and in this case he comes
from a border state. Very many
men born in eastern states arc
now representing western states.
This is very natural, as the tide of
immigration has been from east
to west, and the west has been
peopled by the east.
It is a rare tning, nowever, to
find a man in congress from the
east who was born in the west.
But there are some. Fowler, of
New Jersey, and Greene, of Mas
sachusetts, are natives of Illinois.
Perkins, of New York, was born in
Wisconsin. ITearst, of New York,
is a native of California.
The men who were born in the
south and now represent northern j
constituents are Senator Hawley,!
of Connecticut, who was born in
North Carolina; Senator Cnllom,
of Illinois, a native of Kentucky,
a border state, however; Senator
Newlands, of Nevada, a native of
Mississippi; Speaker Cannon, of;
Illinois, and Representative Dix
on, of Montana, and Shober, of j
New York, were born in North ,
Carolines; Representative Mar
shall of North Dakota, is a native
of Missouri. West Virginia is
not always counted a southern j
state, and the fact that her two
senators are Ohio born scarcely
makes the exception to the rule
that few northern men are sent
to congress from the south.
THE RIGHT WAY TO WALK,
Preservation of a Good Figure De
pends to Some Extent on This j
—A New Theory.
A friend who leads a very active
life has a theory that the preser
vation of a good figure depends to
some extent on the manner of
walking, says the Philadelphia
Inquirer. Many people, she says,
as they advance in years allow
themselves to walk hed^lly and
without elasticity, so that the
whole weight rests on the lower
part of the limbs at every step,
the. only effect of exercise being
weariness of the legs and feet. In
stead of this his body should be
held erect and poised so as to have
a perfect balance; in this way the
muscles are braced and strength
eneu tnrougiiuui, me lungs inusi
of necessity be well expanded, and
it seems quite reasonable to sup
pose that the tendency to increase
of weight may be checked. At all
events a lighter step and a brisker
and more enjoyable manner of
walking can be kept up, and that
in itself is a very great gain.
Quite Romantic.
A romantic incident connected
with the recent marriage of two
popular young people of Bridgton,
Me., has juit come to light. It
seems that in the very beginning
of their courtship some six or
seven years ago. during one of the
young man’s visits to the home
of the young lady who finally be
came his wife, he chanced to take
from his pocket a $10 gold piece
which the young lady got into her
possession. ITe made a brief at
tempt to regain it, but gave it up
and in a joking way said: “Keep
it to pay the minister with.”
The years went by and the gold
en eagle was entirely forgotten by
the young man. On the day when
the marriage ceremony was to
take place, which was the opening
of the present season, the bride-to
be produced the identical gold
piece and the minister received it
for his fee.— Kennebec Journal.

WHO GETS MOCHA COFFEE ?
Stoat of It Taken by Sheiks and Gov
ernors of Arabia—Little la
Ever Exported.
“I don’t believe there, is a
pound of genuine Mocha coffee on
this continent,” Mr. Ogfl^Hilli
glas, a coffee merchff!^^B'orms
me, says a writer in then^BLouis
Globe Democrat, “or that™!) peo
ple in this country have ever tast
ed It, unless they have at some
time visited Arabia and drunk it
st the table of some sheik or gov
ernor.
“The true Mocha is the finest
coffee grown; it has a delicious fla
vor that makes it ss superior to
the very best of other brands as
silk is superior to cotton, but the
crop is extremely limited, and
hardly ever more than satisfies
purely local demands. Some
Arabian coffee may find its way to
this country; it may even be called
Mocha, but it is not the real arti
cle, I am sure, and none of us has
ever had it here, though we get the
best of other brands that are
grown in Ceylon and Java, and
that means some mighty fine cof
fee. It is not Mocha, however, for
the whole of the true Mocha crop
each year wouldn’t supply the cof
fee demands of one ward in St.
Louis alone for a period of six
montns. me nest ana piumpesi
berries of the Mocha growth,
those with the most exquisite
flavor, are eagerly taken by
the governors and sheiks in the
vicinity, and they have to get their
orders in in advance, so that they
may be sure of their annual sup
ply. The second-grade berries go
to the wealthier citizens, not of
the governing class, and the third,
or poorest, grade of berries, which
are not much superior to the best
Java coffee, are sold to the people,
and the demand invariably ex
reeds the supply.
“Sometimes a few pounds of
this cheapest grade of Mocha finds
its way to Constantinople, but it
is very, very seldom, and I don’t
believe an ounce of it has ever got
any further west than that. I pre
sume that if, bv some hook or
crook, a pound of the real plump
berried Mocha were landed in this
country it would sell for a price
that even a Rockefeller might hes
itate to pay. We get the best cof
fee grown, apart from the Mocha,
but the local conditions which pre
vail where that coffee is raised
prevent us from obtaining any,
and I hardly think the real thfftg
will ever be found in ourmarkets.”
POPE A GREAT FAVORITE.
Has Been a Pulpit Orator of Renown
from Very Outset of His
Priestly Career.
One recalls, writes William J.
D. Croke, in Century, those mov
ing speeches which, as car
dinal, he delivered weeping in the
conclave, setting forth all his im
perfections (his sins, even), and
the disadvantages of his career
from barefooted boyhood up, but
which really secured him the
throne, and the stories of him
which every one knows in Lom
bardy and Venetia. For no eccle
siastic can have been more widely
l i 1 V _ 4 1 _ * — i

of renown from the very outset
of his priestly career, the sought
after panegyrist of great occa
sions when bishop and patriarch,
no wonder that he was hailed by a
voice in Kome when he took pos
session of his title as cardinal
“No one has spoken so well as this
cardinal!” As country assistant,
then parish priest, then professor
in the seminary of Treviso, canon,
chancellor of the diocese, great
hierarch of Mantua, the successor
of St. Mark, everyone seems to
know him, and no one has any
memory that is not pleasant.
Developed by Nature.
When the petals of the great
laurel magnolia are touched,
however lightly, the result is a
brown spot, which develops in a
few hours. The fact is taken ad
vantage of by the South Ameri
can lover, who pulls a magnolia
flower, and on one of its pure
white petals writes a motto or
message with a sharp-pointed pen
cil. Then he sends the flower, the
young lady puts it in a vase of wa
ter, and in three or four hours the
message written on the leaf be
comes perfectly visible, and re
mains so.
Charity.
There Is too much charity in this
world—for worthless people.
