PRESIDENT COLLIER'S HELPMEET.
She Will Be Conspicuous In the Social
Function of Atlanta's Exposition.
Mrs. Charles A. Collier, the wife of
the president of the Atlanta exposition,
will naturally be a prominent figure in
the social functions in connection with
that international event, and she is
well fitted for such leadership as her
position will impose upon her.
Mrs. Collier is one of the members of
the executive board of women managers
and has done excellent work for the ex
position. She is pretty, clever and tact
ful and combines wit and amiability.
She is somewhat below medium height,
with blight blue eyes, exceedingly light
complexion aDd hair that Titian loved
to paint.- She has a pleasing voice and

the still, more pleasing faculty of saying
the right thing in the right place. She
dresses in excellent taste and is withal
, a charming woman.
As viewed from the bloomer stand
point Mrs. Collier is Jiot a "new wom
an." nor would she; be classed with
what is known as the "advanced wom
an. " She is, however, splendidly edu
cated, a thinker and a reader, and deep
ly interested in many movements of the
day for bettering present conditions.
She is essentially domestic in her tastes,
being devoted to her., family, and her
home is one of comfort, cheerfulness
and generous hospitality.
Mrs. Collier js a daughter of the late
William A. Bawson, a prominent and
influential citizen of Georgia, and was
married in January, 1875, to Mr.. Col
lier. They have several children, one of
whom, a charming daughter, will make
her debut in Atlanta society this au
tumn. J

Wife, who has taken to occult subjects,
"is a place where we see, feel and hear

condition is the great question. "
"Huh 1" replied her husband, "if you

you would know that it's easy. "
"How would you go about It?!'

AN UPRIGHT MAN.
There is certainly some slight feeling of
humiliation in being bent down and ob
liged to oreep along for fear of a snap in
the spinal column. It is such a plain show
of decreptitude that we, leel embarrassed.
It is seen every daywhen lumbago takes
a good hold on a stitch in tbe back. There
is very little sympathy for one in such a
plight, -for it is so well known that St.
Jacobs Oil will cure it promptly and that
neglect is the cause of bo much disability.
Why not keep the remedy always on hand
and prevent such discomfort.
100 REWARD, 8100.
The readers ot this paper will be pleased
to learn that there is ac least one dreaded
disease that science has been able to cure
in all its stages and that is Catarrh. Hall's
Catarrh Cure is the only positive cure now
known to tbe medical fraternity. Catarrh
being a constitutional disease, requires a
constitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh
Cure is taken internally, acting directly
upon the blood and mucous surfaces ot the
system, thereby destroying the foundation
oi the disease, and giving the patient
strength by building up the constitution
and assisting nature in doing its work.
The proprietors have so much faith in its
curative powers, that they offer One Hun
dred Dollars for any case that it fails to
cure. . Bend for list of Testimonials.

PURE
MISS POWER WAS A WINNER.
She Kan Her Father's Political Canvass,
bat Does Not Wish to Vote.
The new woman has many phases,
and the scope of her activities is broad
and constantly widening. In Mississippi
a bright young
woman has de
mon str ated
marked ability
and tact as a po
litical manager,
successfully con
ducting a spirit
ed campaign,
oj. She is Miss Kate

to-
politics at least
has shown that
her name is not
V
a misnomer
MISS KATE M. POWER!
Miss .Power is
the daughter of Colonel J. h. Power
Jackson, Miss.; the veteran editor
of
of
The Clarion, which for many years has
been the official paper of the state of
Mississippi. Colonel Power was ambi
tious to become secretary of state. There
were two other candidates in the field,
and a hot campaign lay between him
and the goal of his ambition.
Early in the campaign Colonel Power
was taken seriously ilL He managed to
direct his canvass for a few days from
his bedside, but steadily grew worse, so
it was impossible for him to do any
thing toward securing the nomination,
His prospect of getting , the office seemed
hopeless. His family feared that in his
weakened condition if he were defeated
his life would pay the penalty. It was
then that his brave daughter came to
the front and took charge of his waning
canvass and heroically carried it to a
successful termination. She had lived
in the air of politics for years, as Jack
son is a city of politicians, and had
been for a time on the staff of The Clar
ion. She began by writing personal
letters to all of Colonel Power's and her
own friends, announcing his illness and
that she was in charge of his canvass.
Then followed addresses to the men of
Mississippi, published in many of the
papers of the state,' and finally she made
a personal canvass among the voters in
nearly all the counties, showing the tact
and shrewdness of a veteran campaigner.
She directed the course of her father's
delegates in the convention and won
the campaign. The crowning marvel is
that Miss Power is a strong antisuffra-
gist. . ,
Miss Power is a typical daughter of
the south. She is rather tall, with black
hair and large, lustrous chestnut brown
eyes, shadowed by long dark lashes, and
is an accomplished and attractive young
woman. She is the editor of a ' 'review, ' '
the only one in the gulf states pub
lished by a woman. .
The Isabella Coin.
Mrs. P. H. Palmer, president of the
board of lay managers of the World's
Columbian commission, has issued a
circular in which attention is called to
the Isabella coin recently minted by or
der of congress. The coin is intended to
commemorate the fact that a board of
women was for the first time 'called by
the government to take official part in
the Columbian exposition and also to
honor tbe great Queen Isabella, whose
portrait it bears. The circular further
states that the profit realized from the
sale of this coin shall be funded and the
interest employed to effect permanent
service to humanity. The price of tbe
coin is $1, and orders may be addressed
to the Merchants' Loan and Trust com
pany, Chicago.
Tea Tables and Tea Trays.
The most approved tea table this sea
sou is square two wooden trays mount
ed on four spindle legs. The upper tray
has an oval aperture at either end, so
that it can be carried across a room with
ease.' Such tables are to be found span
new at the furniture warehouses, but
those that are to be picked up at tbe
brio-a-brao shops are valued much more
highly. They are not designed for their
present use, of course, and are, in point
of fact, queridors of the latter part of
the last century. Some pretty trays for
single or tete-a-tete sets are made in the
form of a three leafed shamrock. They
are mostly in copper, the teapot and
sugar basin of the same metal, and the
cups and cream jug of white eggshell
china.
The Tell.
The first requirement in a veil is that
it shall be of unstinted size, double
width, unless it is to be worn with a
very small bonnet, and a yard long, so
that it may -be gathered up in generous
folds over the hat brim and pinned a
veil should never be tied well up at
the back of the hat A better fit and a
prettier effect are given by a little cluster
of gathers directly in the middle of the
front. It is to be hoped that women
will some time learn that veils figured
with sprigs, or indeed, anything but un
obtrusive dots, are never becoming and
make them look, as a man was heard
to remark the other day, "as if their
faces were covered with flies. "Phila

Portable Railroads.
The French are experimenting with a
single track temporary railroad that can
be laid on a country road or across the
fields. They expect to use it in military
operations and in harvesting crops. ' The
barrows and cars used are on the bicy
cle principle, and they can be operated
either by hand or horsepower.
"17 .HsO
BAALBEC'S RUINS.
They Are the Grandest Monuments of the
Fast In tbe Orient.
The ruins of Baalbec,' the ancient
metropolis of Syria, especially those on
the "platform" where the temples stood,
are the grandest in the orient. The
platform referred to above and upon
which the largest of the famous Baalbec
temples were erected is an artificial
mound about 80 feet higher than the
surrounding plain, which gave room for
immense vaults under the gigantic
structures which in ancient times graced
the "wonderful city of the east. ". ,
"A good idea of the immensity of
these ruined temples may be gained
when it is known that there are several
stones in what remains of their founda
tions which are 65 .feet long, 15 feet
wide and 13 feet thick, and what is
till more remarkable some of these
giant blocks of limestone were raised to
a height of 20 feet from the ground.
Three temples formerly stood upon the
artificial platform the Temple of the
Sun, the Temple of Jupiter and the
great circular temple. The first was 290
feet long by 160 broad and was sur
rounded by Corinthian columns of gran
ite 75 feet high and 7 feet 3 inches in
diameter. . Six, only of these immense
columns now remain standing. The
ruins of the Temple of Jupiter stand on
a portion of the artificial mound some
10 feet lower than that upon which
those of the Temple of the Sun are now
scattered about. Its dimensions were
originally 230. by 120. The circular
ruin, almost as imposing as either of
the two whose dimensions are given
above, is supposed to have been the
chief seat of the sun worshipers of very
ancient times. The gigantic blocks of
stone which contributed toward forming
the graceful outlines of this once most
famous circular temple were so scatter
ed about by the earthquakes of 822, 975
and 1759 that its dimensions in feet
cannot be accurately given. These three
temples and the platform upon which
they were erected were once surrounded
by a wall which was' a wonder within
itself, many of the separate blocks which
formed it being 30 feet long, 15 feet
wide and 12 feet thick. " St. Louis Re

MARRIAGE IN KOREA." I
A Slmplo Ceremony, but With It Comes
the Dignity of Manhood.
'. Korean girls, according to Mr. H. S.
Saunderson, after enjoying freedom till
they are 8 years old, are consigned to
the women's quarters, where they live
in seclusion till they are married at 16
or 17 years. After marriage the woman
is allowed to see no man but her hus
band. The boys, on the other hand, are
taught that it is undignified for them to
enter the women's part of the house.
They never see their brides till the wed
ding day, all having been arranged for
them, often when both bride and groom
are infants.
The marriage ceremony is very sim
pie. The bride and bridegroom invite
their most intimate friends to assist
them in dressing their hair in the man
ner befitting their new estate. Then the
bridegroom mounts a white pony, which
is led by two servants, while two others
on either side support the rider in his
saddle. Thus he proceeds to tbe bride's
house, accompanied by his relatives. At
their destination they find a pavilion
erected in the courtyard of the house, in
which the bride and her relatives are
awaiting their arrival. A goose (the
Korean symbol of fidelity), which the
bridegroom brings with him, is then
produced.
The bride, who has to oover her face
with her long sleeves, and the bride
groom then bow to each other until
their heads almost touch the ground.
This they do three or four times and are
then man and wifa A loving cup is
passed round, and then the bride is
taken off to the women's apartments of
her husband's home, where she is looked
after by her mother and mother-in-law,
while the groom entertains his friends.
The husband must maintain his wife
properly and treat her with respect
Marriage is the great event in a Ko
rean's life, for he then attains man's
estate. Before marriage, no matter how
old he may be, he is treated as a boy,
and has to maintain a deferential atti
tude toward the married men, even
though they be only half his aga Pop

GREAT MEN'S READING.
Franklin read all he could find relat
ing to political economy and finance.
Michael Angelo was fondest of the
books of Moses and the psalms of
David. ' i
Da Yinoi read Pindftr and thought
him the noblest poet who ever wrote in
any language. , ,
Landseer was a student of anatomy
and zoology, and made collections of
books on these subjects. '
Vandyke, the painter, was fond of
the "Decameron," and often in conver
sation quoted from its pages. '
David, the French historical painter,
was a student of French history to the
exolusion of almost all other reading.
Tolstoi is said to have a large library
of sociology and to read attentively any
book bearing on some new social fad.
Addison's specialty was the history of
medals and coins, and he eagerly pe
rused anything treating of this subject.
Shakespeare must have been an omniv
orous reader, for his plays show odds
and ends of learning gathered from ev
ery quarter.
George I liked the German folklore
tales,, but hated the trouble of reading
them. He usually preferred to have
them told in the form of anecdotes.
Burke always prepared for a speech
by reading everything he could find
bearing on the subject on which he was
to speak. He said that he generally read
"with a business purpose. "
Gibbon read nothing that did not
have a bearing on his history, but every
thing he could find that, even remotely,
had referenoe to his work. He said he
had no time for miscellaneous reading.
. Football.
Woman seems now to have a task be
fore her in which we fear greatly she
will fail. Report goes that female foot
ball teams will shortly contest in pub
lic, and the problem is now, on the one
band, to make tbe performance grace
ful, and, on the other, to not spoil tbe
game. Those who have witnessed the
modern developments of, that noble
sport will probably doubt whether even
women will be able to harmonize such
conflicting aims. Into this question we
will not enter. Whether the real game
played by women is a graceful' Or a dis
graceful sight Mrs. Grundy must de
cide, and whether the game played in a
ladylike manner is worth ' looking at
will doubtless soon be settled by the
polite frequenters of the football field,
who, we are sure, will not be backward
in expressing their opinion. ; British
