Lcndratt are groom ing him quietly. "The general assembly will elect Just after Easter, but in the present state of affairs It Is impossible to see who will get the plum.

Don’t Wait Till Saturday— COME TOMORROW. 240 Marietta St. San Francisco, Cal., March 27.—Un able to forget the sweetheart he came across the continent to wipe from his memory, distracted by her refusal to answer his pleading letters begging forgiveness, Arthur S. Lee, aged 33, a traveling salesman, took his life yes terday. His body now floats somewhere in the waters of the bay. In today’s mails to New York are passing two letters, one telling Nellie Kane, pretty but fickle, of the sacrifice made in her name; the other carrying tho news that It Is feared will break the heart of a pretty Southern woman whom Lee adored as a youth. It is stated that In Savannah, Go., where Lee’s father was chief of police until his death, Lee became engaged to a young woman, who doubtless Is wait ing for him to return. Lee came to San Francisco Inst August. For month all was well. Then ho met the first friend he found In New Yorlf after leaving the South. This man is Harry Burns, now a cook stationed at the Presidio. The two had an appointment for Monday night, but Lee did not meet his * *iend. Yesterday morning Burns re celved a letter-from Lee. telling of his unrequited love for Nellie Kane. “I have stood It ns long as I can." he said, "and I am going to end It all by drowning. Will you bo kind enough to let my mother know that I dead ?’’ Lee’s mother lives at 250 East Fif tieth street, New York, nnd Nellie Kane lives at Forty-fourth street and Lex ington avenue, that city. Besides his mother, Leo leaves a brother and s|p- ter.

We have sold Thousands and Thou sands of Ml Gurney Refrigerators The Leading Attraction of the Gurney is ON TWO STREETS Decatur and Peters Barred By Police Com mittee. No more saloons will be licensed In Decatur or Peters streets. A decision to this effect was reached by the police committee In secret ses slon Tuesday afternoon. No formal vote was taken, but the positive agreement was reached. Borne members of the committee would not agree to this, if it would prevent tho secuilng of licenses by Thomas Brad ley and 8. M. Wilson, the former being an applicant for a license on Decatur street, and the latter for a transfer on Peters street. The committee agreed not to open up any more saloon* on the two streets and held up the applications of Brad ley and Wilson. The former wishes ic change his business from a wholesale house to a negro saloon at 133 Peters street. It Is probable that both will be granted licenses to operate beer sa loons, and then the lid win bo shut down tight. * The application of Mlnhinnott & Clarldy for a saloon at 66 Decrtur street came up for considerable dis cussion. Councilman Pearce nnd Al derman Holland signed, and, It Is stat ed, Alderman Quillian practically agreed to do so. Councilman Roberts signed the adverse report. Alderman McEachem, the other member of the committee, was not present. The application of Joe Borltzky for a negro saloon at 189 Decatur street was adversed. The application of John T. McCullough, for a transfer of license of a white saloon from 157 to 155 Pe ters street, was reported favorably. Cleanliness. B Y the use of the removable galvanized ice compartments we arc able to challenge comparison as to CLEANLINESS with any refrigerator made. By its use we overcome the necessity of permitting any of the vapors aris- the inner walls or passi through the ing from the provision chamber to enter end flues, depositing unwholesome gases and food particles* in inaccessible places that cannot be got at and cleaned, as is true of the old style refrigera tors. Iu the Gurney Patent Refrigerator the air from the provision cham ber rises, passes directly against, and through the holes, in the four side walls of the iee compartment. The ice compartment can be lifted out when neces sary, and it and tho refrigerator made as sweet and clean as a milk pan. By the use of tho removable iee compartment we get the most perfect interior construction. We do not .cut our zinc side walls, all wood being zinc lined with no exposed wood to become sour and unwholesome. The price runs from $11 to $50 The LaBelle Watch for the Green. A., B. A A. Reclassification Postponed Reclassification of th* rates of tho Atlanta, Birmingham and Atlantic rail road was postponed by the railroad commission Wednesday morning until the regular April meeting. The offi cials of the road requested this post ponement. BANKRUTCY HEARING TRANSFERRED TO ATLANTA. Special to The Georgian. Asheville, X.
