Dnil Is the national ofllcinl pnpcr of the Trav
elers' I'roUjctlvo association of the United
Btatfs , l.i doing nome great work for the com

non for being very proud of its Journalistic
representative , for the Head Is evidently
flolng everything possible within Its power
to make the approaching convention n superb
nucCoss , From Its many newsy columns of
last week regarding the great event are taken
{ ,110 following notes :
The T. P. A. hold another Interesting meet
ing In Its rooms on Lawicnco street to talk
over the coming convention of traveling men.
0ho ? various committees report meeting with
Bucccs.s , and the outlook Is very encouraging
lor the local association In carrying out iU
plans In entertaining Its guests. The rail
roads have done the handsome thing by them
nnd the proposed trip the local association
bad mapped out will be made. The trip will
cover u ill.itanco of 8T > 0 miles. They go from
hero to Lcadvlllo first , then to Qlcnwood
Bprlnp , Aspen , Marshall Pass through the
Grand cnnon to Pueblo , where u day's stop
will be made nnd the excursionists will bo
banqueted nnd shown that city as guests of
the Pueblo traveling men. The next day will
\ > o s ] > ont at Manltou and the return will bo
nrouml by Georgetown and over the Loop. A
liand.soma silver pass as a souvenir will bo
resented to each member of the association
ttcmllng the convention and It will go with
tho' conductors in charge of the trains for
their passage.
Lot tow have been received from assocla-
, tlons fiom nil over the country furnishing
cncour.iging news to the local association.
A letter from the Iowa association stated
that that association had changed Its meet
ing and would meet In Denver and that It
would send u delegation 200 strong In uniform
end with it brass band.
The Texas Travelers' Protective associa
tion has written that It will bo fully repre
sented nnd that u special train of Pullman
pleepcrs would leave Dallas for the national
convention , convoying the Texas delegation.
It is estimated that fully 2,000 traveling salcs-
impn , members of the association In this coun
try will bo hero and every detail will betaken
care of to make them nil feel that they were
never treated as royally at any of the na
tional conventions.
The Denver & KIo Grande , with their usual
jibor.illty , have come to the front with an un-
cqnnlcd proposition , and when the time ar
rives that royal good friend of the traveling
men will bo given full benellt of the courtesy
Bhown to the Colorado division Travelers
Protective association In making eminently
{ Satisfactory rates.
The knights of the grip have met in con-
cntion at Cincinnati , Buffalo , Baltimore , St.
( Louis , Minneapolis , and lust year at Atlantic ,
put it , Is no wise conceited to say the celebra
tion hero In Juno will far surpass any of the
former affairs , both as regards the number of
delegates and visitors who will attend and
the brilliancy of the entertainment they will
xcccivo.
The Colornilo nssociotlon has been doing
Zlcreuloan work preparing /or the occasion
which may bo assured from the fact that over
KOXX ( ) has been subscribed and that at least
that sum will bo collected.

The Story of Inez do Castro , AVIfo of a
King of Portugal. .
There is no more remarkable page in
all history , says the St. Louis Republic ,
than the one which tells of the crowning
of Inez do Castro's Hcshloss skull as
queen of Portugal. She had been mar
ried clandestinely to young Don Pedro ,
aud was murdered three yqars later by
assassins instigated by her father-in-
law * When tlio young don heard of her
death ho was beside himself with grief
and rage. Two of the assassins fell into
his hands and suffered terrible torture ;
which only ended by their hearts being
torn out while they were yet alive.
When Pedro came to the throne a few
years later ho had the bones of Inez
taken from the grave , placed upon a
magnificent throne , robed in royal pur
ple , and actually crowned queen of Portu
gal. The court was summoned and com
pelled to do her homage , just as if she
were a real living queen. Ono ile.-mless
hand hold the scepter and the other the
orb of royalty. On the second night of
this wiord ceremony the tloshlcss queen
was borne before a grand funeral cor
tege extending several miles , each per
son holding a torch. Lying in her rich
robes , her crown upon her grinning
scull , in a chariot dmwn by twenty coal
black mules , Queen Inez , the only queen
who never know her royal station , was
driven to the royal abbey of Alcobaca ,
where tlio bones were interred with as
much pomp as though she had died but
yesterday. Tlio monument erected to
the queen , who was never a queen dur
ing life , is still to be scon in the abbey ,
btandlng near the one erected to hoi-
loyal husband , "Pedro the Just. "

POLIIIGS IS LObLMi lAbU ,
How the Great Southern Problem is Rapidly
Solving Itself ,
CAPITAL IS FAST POURING IN.
Aliituilnnt IlcflotirccA Which Are Being
llapldly Developed The 1'ast For
gotten and Faces Turned
Toward the Future.
May 8. [ Special to TUB
BRC. ] Georgia secured an Invasion from the
Washington newspaper correspondents lost
week and scored n good point In both busi
ness nnd politics. Heretofore "Dixie" has
been classed In political annals with Missis
sippi , South Carolina and two or three shot
gun states managed byvbrigadicr3 bent on
ante-bellum plunder ; but it will now bo
known the country over that Georgia has
been done an injustice.
Georgia la . as rapidly developing from the
caterpillar Into the butterfly as It Is possible
and promises to become , within the next de
cade , ono of the foremost manufacturing
states In the union. She has as rich mineral
nnd co.U lands , forests and phosphate- beds
as there are hi the world , and work In these
yield as handsome profit and pleasure ns any
business in the universe. .Capital is Hooding
Into the state from the north , Europe and
elsewhere and n * sure as business will solve
nil other i > crploxltics politics Is being cast
nsldo for something better. Thcro is no bet
ter illustration than can bo found at Augusta ,
whither the correspondents went last week ,
that commercial interests overwhelm polities
and solve race and other problems. A people
busy making money and happiness ; a people
devoted to the upbuilding of a country for
the future , and not living in the prejudice of
the past or the passion of the present , do two
things , bring about two conditions , no matter
what the sentiment may bo at the time ; they
make tariff protectionists nnd level all social
barriers.
At Augusta the conditions a dccado back
nnd at present were nnd nro almost * Identical
to those at Kichinond , Vn. Ten years ago
the people at Kichinond lived In the past ;
they were free traders. Now they live In the
future and the present , and n protective tariff
forms an Issue which rises almost to and which
will go ubovo party lines. Factories have
taken the place of militia grounds , and com
mercial clubs occunv the attention of those
who spent their midnight hours in politic-ill
caucus but a short time ago. Instead of dis
cussing how to carry an election at Augusta
now the business men nro together , without
respect to polities , and conjure plans for
securing capital with which to develop the
city. Politics is losing caste. Professional
politicians are not business men.
No clearer idea of how well the sword can
jo turned into a pruning knife can bo found
than In Augusta. It will bo remembered that
quite all of the powder for the Confederacy
, vas manufactured in that city during nt
cast three years of the war. A largo factory
was built nt ona side of the city and an im-
nenso chimney erected to carry the smoke ,
icat and sparks far ubovo the powder maga
zines. Alter the war a short time the citizens
got together and prepared a tablet which was
: > laccd upon this landmark of the "recent dis
turbance. " The ground around the powder
factory was for years held In sacred
seclusion. But finally the public spirit
of the citiyens began to operate. It
was concluded that n great manu
facturing center could bo established , and
tor the purpose of attracting capital the city
built the most convenient nnd nearly incx-
'
liaustiblo hydraulja mill-nice to bo fo'uud in
the country. It taps the Savannah river a
navigable stream several miles from the
: ity , and affords the finest power for an un
limited number of manufactories at a nominal
price Soon a great cotton factory , with
Hundreds of thousands of spindles , was buill
up against the power factory arch , and now
the ground which but a short time ago
marked the manufacture of munitions for re
bellion and strife , is occupied by one of the
[ jreatcst Industries of the south. The estab
lishment of these immense cotton cloth fac
tories brought others , till for almost n inilo
ilong the hydraulic the scene reminds one of
the busiest point on Fall river. These cotton
factories are In handsome four-story brick
buildings , nnd the operatives have beautiful
brick rcstdences , the whole being a scene of
thrift and contentment , fraught with stabil
ity and happiness.
It Is true that in the streets of Augusta
there are monuments to confederate
lieroes , but these were erected at a
period whcntho memories of the war
were fresh in the minds of the people and
tender thoughts coursed the minds of all the
south , and when tears with flowers wei-o
being strewn upon the giaves of the dead
braves in the north. Thcro is no nourish of
ante-bellum sentiment , no reference to
"bofoh th' wah. " The people live in the fu
ture , not the past. While there I met Col
onel Howell , ono of the editors of the Atlanta
Constitution. Ho had Just returned from
Charleston , S. C. . and ho said this of that ,
indent , city which ilrcd the first shot at
Sumtor :
"Tho trouble with Charleston Is , and I told
them there , the people nro living too much In
the past. Wo must forget the post und turn
our faces nnd minds to the future. "
The race problem In Augusta nnd as that
Is a representative Georgia city it is an Index
of the state Is solving Itbolf. The negro Is
treated kindly , nnd as a consequence ho votes
with his employer very frequently when ho
votes nt all. An Influential citizen gave mo
the kernel to the race nut when ho said this ,
which I had duplicated by many other citi
zens :
"It Isn't necessary to count out or bulldoze
negroes at the elections. Hight hero wo be
lieve that by treating the colored men kindly
they will cither stay away from the polls , because -
cause they do not want to vote against us , or
they will vote tlio way their bosses want
them to vote. It is not the negro but the
tarilT question that is dividing the predom
inant party. Our principal newspapers and
loading business men uro for u protective
tad IT. The McKinley bill pleases n great
many of the people hero. Wo know that to
prosper wo must have factories , and these
will not como hero unless there is n protec
tive tariff. You strike n man's business in
terests and party lines and prejudices disap
pear. "
Undoubtedly Augusta wllh her wood , min
eral , agricultural and other resources will go
up from n city of 50,000 people now to a place
of 100,000 in less than H-n years. Tlio real
estate excitement has not yet struck the city
yet. although a number of capitalists nro Just
iirrivlng for that purpose. The city Is beau
tifully located , with the Savannah river , navIgable -
Igable Uown to Savannah on the coast , run
ning through the corporate limits. The coun
try is undulating to a handsome degree , there
being rising hills In every direction. These
inake the most charming suburban places.
There nro hundreds of the prettiest old man
sions , with their broad oaks and elms dotting
capacious grounds , The streets nro very
broad , some being over u hundred
feet in width , while down their center run a
double row of grand eld broad-stretching
elms , forming the most delightful parking.
At this tlmo of year these grail avenues or
streets are a perfect bower of shade. Just
now a syndicate from Kansas City , headed by
Major Ii. B. Dyer , who will bo remembered
ns the llrst mayor of Guthrle , Oklahoma , Is
putting In n perfect system of cloctrlu mil-
ways. This with the horse lines will honey
comb the city and environs , nnd will develop
the magnificent suburban places which are to
bo hild out.
Suuh hospitality can bo found nowhere else
than In Gerglu. when fifty newspaper cor
respondents ncared Augusta they wuro met
by a reception commltteo and informed that
the city was their own ; that they could take
anything they saw , and If what they wanted
was not In sight It was only necessary to call
for It. Wo expected to see an old fashioned
city , with slow people and nothing now. We
found an old-now city a place old in forma
tion but now In Industry and crowded with
the cleverest and most enterprising people on
the face of the earth the cream city of the
state. The city for two days was given up to
the entertainment of its guests. I was sur
prised to learn that strangers entering the
city for location and business nro never asked
their politics , and that no reference Is madoto
pedigree. Good brooding and honesty uro
curried in the eye and countenance , aud us
soon as it is HCCU that the stranger Is worthy
ho Is received with open arms.
Augusta Is fast becoming u winter resort.
Last fall the hotel Bon-Air was opened to the
public and was tilled ( n a twinkling , It Is u
beautiful hostelry , situated a few miles from
the city on what nnorMiPrncr would term n
"mountain , " and overlobking the prettiest
city In the south. Thwaccno from the hotel
Is as entrancing oscaubo fouiidnboutParlsor
In the Alps of Switzerland. The air Is bracing
nnd so pure nnd rarfiU'd that consumptives
find immediate relief nnd carlv euro. The
winters nro jhort nnduulld. Thcro is fishing
In the adjacent rivers and gunulng galore lir
the forests.
The south possesses three distinctive
classes of foscinntiuaj-women. They nro
located In Kentucky , Georgia and Virginia.
Handsome , cultured ; naturally refined nnd
delicate- complexionthfty nro winsome be
yond comparison , The Augusta ladles are as
gallant as their bravo.men. Their homes are
open to the stranger , their hospitality Is com
mon.
Truly Augusta is sqttlng an example for nil
southern cities. Sh&only asks Inspection.
SllO has J1O nrelUdlCOS. nntllltirr to onnnll mill
everybody Is welcome. She has her fnco and
her heart turned to the future. The war has
loft neither scar nor Ill-will. The federal Is
ns good with them as the confederate , no bet
ter , no worse. Honest whlto men all stand
upon the same platform. The negro Is not
nnd never will bo recognized their social
equal. But they regard the negro as n human
being with n soul , an Instinct , a human sen-
slbillty , nnd they treat him ns such ; but they
conscientiously bellovo that ho was desig
nated by tlio creator to occupy the position
society has given him nnd no ono disputes
their position.
Umioubtedly ono of the best plans for solv
ing the race problem ns well ns the nolltical
Issues Is that which Augusta lias adopted
business. Money-making and enterprising
people , people happy and looking Into the
future , have neither tlmo nor Inclination to
wrangle over politics or color. In the busy
bustle of development for the city cvervthing
Is leveled , and the longer this course Is fol
lowed the loss will bo known of contention
aud the less will anyone care.

of its arms , Is a capital olToiibo of thp
very gravest nature and tlio men wcro
condemned to death , siiy.s the Now York
Morning Journal. Tlio sequel is told as
follows in Mr. Stanley's own words :
Early ono morning one of tlio two was
brought on to the parade ; all the men
stood round in a crowd. I asked him if
ho had anything to say ; ho was mute ; I
looked at the crowd ; they were mute ,
too.
too.Ono
Ono word from the man himself or
from any of the onloo'kei-.s , one appeal
for mercy that would have enabled mete
to address the crowd , ' and I would have
btvved that man's life. It was the elTect
I wanted , not his life !
Not a word was saifl. I gave the sig
nal and ho swung coiain ; populo. Still I
watched the crowd. There was no sign
/ only dull insensibility.
I luy awake thinking all night ; the
other man was to bo hauiged at 8. At
dawn I bent for tho'chief sheikh of the
Zan/.ibaris. Ho came.
I said : "What is this thing you have
done to mo ? You promised mo helpand
you do nothing. IJo you want mo to kill
these men ? i I don't do it willingly ! An
swer ! "
The sheikh replied that ho would ho
glad if my excellency could see the way
to snare tlio remaining man.
Then I told him to get the other
shaikhs , to soy nothing to the people ,
but when J gave the signal let them ask
his life , but ask it really as if they
meant it.
At 8 o'clock the poor wretch had the
rope round his neck. I asked if ho had
anything to say. Silence.
I raised my hand to give the bign ; the
sheikhs rushed forward , knelt at my
foot , and implored mercy. Immediately
every man joined in , too. I said : "Good ;
for your sakes I give his life. "
Then there was u bhout and they all
'
rushed forward ; they fell at my 'feet ,
they screamed blessings , they swore
they would follow mo to the world's end.

Trapping Disease Germs In Horse Cars.
Conductors of street cars that run
within oas\ , walking distance of the university -
vorsity of 'PeiiiiMlvaniii ha\o hud their
curiosity aroused of late by the appear
ance of a gentleman , evidently a pro
fessional man , who asked thorn such
questions as these-nys the Philadelphia ,
1'rcHs : '
"Have you had any passengers who
seemed to be consumptive * in your carVer
or "IJavo any diseased persons been ex
pectorating freely during your lust trip ? "
The investigator always appeared in thu
cars at slack times , such as 8 o'clock , for
earn going west , and besides asking ques
tions wont about tlio car holding a little
copper tube to various parts of the floor
and cushions , at the sumo time squeez
ing a little rubber wind jmlT. |
The instrument used is an ingenious
germ collector , which has been con
structed by Dr. Samuel G. Dixon , pro
fessor of hygiene at < the university , to
gather material for his laboratory ex
periments , that will btv of value to the
public as well as the seionlille world.
Tlio instrument c.onsisls of a metal
tube , which can be cljKicd at the top , but
is open at the bottom. Ju it sits another
tudo , perforated with.u , certain number
of holes , through wh cli the aircan blow.
In tills latter tube are .pjaeed a number
of little saucers just beneath the holes ,
and on them Is placeda , little gelatine ,
which will become impregnated if air

tlio tubes and tuiucora imvo been put in

Some Curious llovolntlons Mailo In
llnron Hniiflsninmi'fl Memoir * ,
Baron Ilnussnmnn's "Recollections , "
which have just como out , do not answer
to the curiosity with which they were
awaited , says the London Truth. If a
sprightly old lady had had to do with
his memoirs , extending from 1812 to the
present time , she would have mndo thorn
charming ns , say , the ruins of ah old
castle bright with creeping verdure ami
wild flowers. lie is provoklngly
reticent in dealing with the Em
peror Napoleon III.'a marriage. Ho
could have said a great deal , ns ho
know Mmo. Montljo when she was pass-
illDT fOUr Or llVO months nt Ttnnlnnttv.
after she had loft tlio hotel at Bayonne ,
where she lodged for so long iv timo.
The baron , however , furnishes some
spicy pages , which are grateful as an
oasis in the desert. Ho shows in n rather
pleasant chapter 'that George Sands'
complaints in "Mn , Vie" about her
mother-in-law were all unfounded , nnd
that George's husband was no baron at
all. What a good thing it is for Mau
rice Sands' family that lie died before
the truth came out , for ho felt rather
ashamed of his mother's dcmocratio
sympathies , and wanted to drop her
name and parade the title wiitcn ho
fancied himself heir to.
Tlio poor mother-in-law was kind to
weakness , nnd made great sacrifices to
George and her spouse , who had no sort
of right to claim any thing of hor. The
old lady's fortune was in her own right ,
and George's husband was the son of ono
of those Gascony shopcrdosscs who walls
about on stilts at the heads of flocks in
the snake-infested Landcs. She was an
imprudent creature , without a ray of
character. Baron Dudovant , the poor
"mother-in-law's' ' husband , was a colonel
In Napoleon's army , and rather ecletic
in his loves. Ills reputation as a Don
Juan put it into the heads of all kinds
of shopcrdcsses to use ills hall porch as
the creche of a foundling hospital. They
know that the good-natured baroness
would never suiter any innocent left
there to stay long enough exposed for
the wolves , which were numerous as the
snakes , to eat it , She always did some
thing maternal for the deserted little
.ones. When the ono destined to bo
George Sands' husband was picked up
and brought to her she took u fancy to
him and had him reared by the garden
er's wife. Ho often ran into the great
house. On the death of the baron tlie
baroness saw a great deal of the boy ,
for she was lonesome. Ho was worthy
of having Zola for his portraver , and in
grossnuss was as bad as any lioofod and
horned satyr. Tlio old lady 'thought this
a certain proof that ho had a right to
the style and title of her defunct husband.
The more la bete humaino showed itself
s-elf in him , tlio more , to the despair of
her own relatives , , she thought it her
duty to treat him as an adopted son. She
was enchanted on learning that this
mauvnis sujet had proposed for Aurora
Dupin , the heiress to a property of about
n thousand acres and a chateau , which
.sho inherited from her grnndinothortho
daughter of Marshal Saxe. Tlie dear old
ladv bottled all her property on the sup
posititious Dudovant , and be and his
bride came on a visit to her. The latter
had no objection to her aristocratic
ways and prejudices until a ser
vant told her that she was not
the baroness.
the diuightcr-iti-law of
but of "the hag she ( George ) had seen
herding turkeys. This threw the bride
into a state of black gloom , made her take
ill all the kind actions of the dowager ,
who she fancied had entered into n con
spiracy to humble and pull her down ,
and leave her house in high dudgeon.
I can understand her keeping silence in
"Ma Vie" about the servant's revelation.
Perhaps she thought it well that Mau
rice should be able in good faith to
claim to bo a baron. Or it may bo that
she overlooked , when she was being
wooed , the brutal ways of M" . Dudovant ,
because she thought it would bo iiigo to
set up in life as a baroness.
