club yesterday afternoon was of
unusual interest. Mrs, Louise
Saow had charge of the program,
which opened with two solos by
Mrs. C. M. Driggs of Sayre. The
theme of abscrbing interest was
brought out by Mrs. C S, Maurice
in her sketches of old Philadelphia.
She gave a description of “Sten
ton,” the home of Mr. and Mrs.
James Logan. Mr. Logan was one
of the few persons present at the
first reading of the declaration of
independence in congress in 1776.
Mrs. Maurice also exhibited the
original compass carried by Benja~
min Franklin and also a piece of
his silk cordage west which he
wore in continental times. Mrs,
VulchefT gave a talk oa physical
culture, and Mrs. Murrelle read a
short article on the subject “Is the
Club a Suitable Place for the Seri
ous Study of subjects of General
Culture.”
CHORAL § SOCIETY
Athens—About out fifty singers at-
tended the meeting at the Baptist
church last evening and were very
enthusiastic about the formation of
the choral society. J. M. Jolls will
be the director and it was decided
to have a ten weeks drill weekly
and that they would give a concert
at the end of the term Commit-
tees frcm the different churches
will be appointed to further the
objects of the club. Messrs. Ben-
jumin and Newell were appointed
from the Methedist church and
Johnson and Eckler of the Baptist
church, The committee from the
Presbyterian church will be named
later. The next meeting will be
held next week Tuesday at some
place to be announced later.

Richmond, Va—Two houses stand
in this city today which are of intense
interest to every student of Poe. | lo
cated both recently while making a
special study of Poe's life in Rich:
mond. One is no other than the home
of the “Lost Lenore” of the “Raven”
the other is Sadler's restaurant, In
which Poe spent his last evening in
Richmond and where possibly he took
the first drink which led to his death
a few days later in Baltimore.
The lady who claimed that Poe told
her she was the “Lenore of the
Raven,” was Miss Sarah Eimira Roys-
ter, afterward Mrs. Shellon. She was
familiarly called “Poe's Lenore” to the
day of her death. She was Poe's first
sweetheart.
This and the sacred passion for
Mrs. Jane Stith Stanard, the Helen of
his beautiful lines, were the great
fires of Poe's youth.
He met Miss Royster in the spring
of 1825, when under a special tutor he
was preparing to enter the University
of Virginia in February of the next
year.
When Poe returned to Richmond for
the last time, In the summer of 1849,
Mrs. Shelton was a widow. The at
tachment of earlier years was re
newed. Mrs. Shelton herself has giv-
en a graphic account of this first meet-
ing
“] was ready to go to church” she
says, “when a servant entered and
told me that a gentleman in the parlor
wished to see me. I went down and
was amazed at seeing Mr. Poe 1
knew him immediately. He came up
to me in the most enthusiastic man-
ner and said, 'Oh, Elmira, Is it you?”
I then told him that [ was go
ing to church. I never let anything in-
terfere with that, and that he must
call again. * * * When he did call
again he renewed his addresses. |
laughed; he looked very serious and
said he was In earnest and had heen
thinking about it for a long time.
When I found he was quite serious I
became serious also, and told him that
if he would not accept positive refusal
he must at least give me time to con-
sider. He answered that love that
hesitated was not a love for him
The now famons poet had thus re
Not an Indian Word.
“Calumet,” supposed to be an In
dian word mecanlug “pipe of peace”
was wholly unknown among the sav.
ages. It is Norman, and signifies in
general a pipe. The pipe of peace
was a “ganowdace” among the Iro-
quols and a “poagun” among some
other tribes. The Algonkins called it
“poagan,” the Winnebagoes “tahnee
and the Dacotahs “chaindon-
hoopa”
hoo"
A Word's Biography.
Originally the word “impertinent”
gignificd merely “not belonging to.”
When Wycliffe said ‘hat there were
many men in this world who were
“impertinent to cartaly lords,” he did
not mean that they were “cheeky,” bat
merely that they had no masters.
Then, as used by Shakespeare, “im-
pertinent” came to mean “irrelevant.”
Just 200 years ago it was defined as
signifying “absurd, silly, idle.”
A Damper.
A friend of mine had an unexpected
rebuff after sharing his umbrella along
Piccadilly with a strange lady. “And
when may 1 have the pleasure of see
ing you again?’ he asked. “On the
next rainy day, sir,” she replied.—Tar-
tar.
Umbrellas Put to New Use.
The governor of Klangsu recently
took part in the opening of a railway.
He was attended at the ceremony by
a guard of Chinese soldiers dressed In
khaki, with umbrellas carefully bound
about their legs.—London Evening
Standard.
A Recognized Authority.
An English physician has placed on
record that his instructions about the
management of a sick child were de
parted from on the advice of a neigh-
bor whose claims to be accepted as an
auttority were based upon the fact
that she had “lost nine children of her
own."
Plants and Perfumes.
Plants with white blossoms have a
larger proportion of fragrant specles
than any others; next comes red, then
yellow and blue. Many of the flowers
of spring are white and highly frag-
rant; those of autumn and winter be
ing darker, with less perfume.

newed his sult vigorously and had un-
questionably found favor In the come
ly widow's eyes. It was in those
halcyon days that Poe told Mrs. Shel
ton she was his Lenore of “The Ra-
ven." Evefy one believed at the time
that they were engaged, and Mrs.
Shelton herself declared after the
poet's death that there had been "an
understanding” between them.
I found that William L. Montague's
directory of Richmond for 1852 gave
Mrs. Shelton as living on the “S. S.
Grace, between Twenty-fourth and
Twenty fifth” streets. Bulter's direc-
tory for 1865 gives her as then living
at Twenly-seventh and Grace streets.
Evidently between these dates she had
moved. | was unable, however, to lo-
cate the house positively because res-
idences were not numbered at that
period.
In the midst of my Investigations,
however, | received a letter from Mrs
J. H. Leftwich, of Milford, Va, daugh-
ter of Mrs. Shelton, which swept away
all doubt and located for me the exact
house. Mrs Leftwich remembers the
residence well, for she was married
in it. She adds that she does not
think Poe ever saw the house farther
up Gracy street to which her mother
later moved.
Sadler's restaurant, in which Poe's
life in Richmond really ended. stands
on Main street, diagonally across from
the Old Market.
Poe spent Sunday evening, Septem-
ber 20, at the residence of Miss Susan
Archer Talley, now Mrs. Welss. That
night he slept at Duncan Lodge, home
of the MacKenzies, and the next
morning went into the city That
evening he saw Mrs. Shelton, little
dreaming that it was for the last time,
and, returning, dropped into the office
of Dr. John F. Carter to read the pa-
pers. Presently he picked up Dr. Car-
ter's cane, lcaving his own, and went
across to Sadler's restaurant.
The closing chapter Is known to all
He was found insensible on the streets
of Baltimore a few days later and died
Sunday, October 7, to sleep many
years in an unmarked grave. Dr. Car-
ter, who is still living, tells me that
some time after the poet's death his
| cane was returned to him.

f”~ Remarkable Story, Anyhow.
From Seigersville, Pa, comes per
haps the most remarkable potato story
of the season, and, In connection, just
as remarkable a chicken story. Sev:
eral days ago, It Is stated, a farmer
of that vicinity, while working in a
fleld, discovered a hen which was set
ting on several eggs. Investigation
showed that theé"nest was nothing
more nor less than a large potato
which the fowl had pecked hollow,
laid four eggs In and then began to
hatch the eggs
West Virginia Mystery.
A very large house snake was
killed in the county court room af
the court house recently, says the
Pocahontas Times. Some young ladies
were working on the deed books, and
on entering the room one of them
was horrified to see a large snake In
the middie of the floor. A number
heard her scream, and the snake was
soon dispatched How the reptile
could have gotten into the room, which
fs kept locked, Is a mystery.
Domestic vs. Wild Animals.
In the aggregate the value of all the
wild animals in the world is trifling
by comparison with the market price
of the horses, cattle, swine, sheep,
goats and other domesticated beasts,
not to speak of the pets like dogs and
cats or of poultry. The hens in the
United States are probably worth
more than all the wild animals in the
country would sell for if they could
be caught and put on the market.
Pretty English Naval Custom.
A pretty little custom is observed
in the English navy whenever an offi-
cer gets married. Two wreaths are
hoisted in the most conspicuous man-
ner and Interlocked with them and
hanging from them are colored rib
bons. These hang from eight a. m0
till sunset on the wedding day. The
cost of the wreaths is generally sub-
scribed by the officer's shipmates.
No Provision Made.
An advertisement In the London
Dally Telegraph intimates that “un-
less” a certain gentleman, “late of
Dewsbury, who left in storage house-
hold furniture with the undersigned,
falls to communicate within 21 days,
the same will be sold at auction”
What will happen if he does not fall
