THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. riATt*KI>AY. Al'lML h. is# 7 MISS DOWNS MASTERS SHORTHAND IN EIGHT WEEKS pupils of Bagwell Bus iness CollegeC ontinue to Make New Records. Since January 1 Bagwell Business College has published the records of not less than thirty pupils wfiio ware nlaced in positions after six to twelve weeks’ study of Chartler Shorthand, giving in teach case the position held 2nd the time spent In preparation. All of them are giving entire satisfaction. GIVE PUBLIC A SQUARE DEAL There Is no argument like that of facts. Let competitors who have con tended that Chartler Shorthand could not make good Its claims publish their records, showing number placed, giving positions held and time attended school In each case, so that those Interested may Investigate. Competitors have claimed that such records are tha bright exceptions. With the old sys tems they are the rarest exceptions, bUt with the Chartler they are the rule.. THE DIFFERENCE. The old systems contain hundreds of difficult rules and exceptions, thou sands of word signs and senseless con tractions, all of which must be mastered thoroughly before the student Is pre pared to take general dictation. Chartler Shorthand consists of the alphabet and ten simple rules. That’s all. By devoting only a part of the time each, day to shorthand, putting the major part on typewriting and the practical English branches, the aver age pupil can at the end of one month, take any ordinary business letter at a speed of at least fifty words per min ute. It requires from three to five months of diligent application to reach the same speed with the old systems, such as Graham. ALL EXPENSES OF CAM!

April 6.—Since the evi dence Is all in, Harry Thaw declared technically sane, the district attorney’s light for more delay won and his cry for "time, more time,” settled, the minds of those who have followed the elongated case look past the oratory of the summing up to the future of the young couple who have been tho toys In the maelstrom of events. It Harry Thaw Is fried, will his dom inant ambition reassert Itself? That ambition took the form. It will be re membered, of politics. “Join me and we will rule Pitts burg," he wrote, in effect, to Evelyn Nesbit In one of his strange love let ters. “We will rule, if rot socially, through politics. I.can have anything I want there.” What he granted or might later want, It developed In that same love letter, was a seat In congress, possibly In the United States senate. One can scarce ly Imagine the most spectacular young man that ever came nut of Pittsburg occupying a chair In the senate cham ber. IS ILLUSTRATED 8p«*olnl to The Georgian.

Washington, April 6.—Disclosures which followed the publishing of the Harrlman-Webster fetters through the betrayal of trust of one of Mr. Harrl- man’s discharged clerks, und the ex. change of statements between Harrl man and President Roosevelt has re suited In a call by Perry Belmont for a session of the natlonnl publicity committee to Investigate tho expenses of the different campaign committees. William Jennings Bryan and Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor, will both deliver addresses calling for the publication all details. The failure of the Republican party to enact legislation preventing in fu ture the contribution of trust funds to turn national elections, will prob ably be dwel upon. The Tillman bill preventing contributions by national banks was passed, but railroads, life insurance and other corporations were not referred to In that measure and are still free to give. An Interesting bit of gossip that being circulated In political circles here Is that Judge Parker had In his pos. session In 1904 a check for a consider, able amount contributed by a large corporation to tho Republican cam palgn, Parker's Charges. The denial was Issued by President Roosevelt on November 4, 1904, and was contained In the following Ian guage:' “Mr. Parker’s charges are In effect that the president of the United States and Mr. Cortolyou have been In a con spiracy to blackmail corporations, Mr. Cortelyou using his knowledge gained while he was secretary of commerce and labor to extort money from the corporations, and I, the president, hav ing appointed him for tills especial pur pose. Mr. Parker’s accusations against Mr. Cortelyou and me are monstrous. The statements made by Mr. Parker are unqualifiedly and atrociously false.” PAJAMA GIRL PROTO A FIGHT AND A FINE Judge Broyles put himself on record Friday as being strenuously opposed to high art, when he fined a young man for showing two women friends a pic ture of a girl In pajamas, and released another young man who tried to whip him about it. Edgar Henderson and Fred Lawshe are the two young men. They were having a pleasant chat Thursday after noon, when Henderson. It seems, took out the picture In question. It repre sented a lassie In pajanmas "decollet- ted" at the knee. When the two ladles left Lawshe ex pressed his disapproval. The fight that followed was pronounced quite Inter esting, although there was a noticeable lack of training, and It was a free-for- all rather than a scientific exhibition. Henderson paid $6.76 toward main taining the police department of the city. 0000000000000000000000000a S BOY PRONOUNCED DEAD, 0 SHOWS SIGNS OF LIFE.

New Orleans, La., April 6.—In a tele, phono message received this morning from Mayor W. B. Turner, of Alexan. drla, La., declining proffered assistance from New Orleans and declaring the ability of the city to provide for the losses occasioned by the tornado, an es timate Is mode that the storm loss at Alexandria, Its environs, across the river and along the bayou, w ill not ex ceed half a million dollars. The message said there were either five or six lives lost, but not positive which, and fifteen Injured, all of whom are doing well. Fears are that consid erable damage has been done tho early crops, especially early potatoes, the sea son's output being many hundred car loads. New Orleans, La.. April 6.—The tor nado, which swept across portions of three states yesterday, was distinctly traceable for a distance of a hundred miles, and It took about eleven hours In crossing this zone.

Portions of four towns weVe devastated, and the dis turbance did general damage to prop erty, crops and telegraph wires throughout its 300-mlle course. The tornado began at Alexandria, La., soon after 1 o’clbek yesterday morning, killing four persons, probably fatally Injuring three, and seriously In juring thirteen others.

Ono death, a negro, was reported near Selma. At Bayou Sara several passengers on the steamer Betsy Ann. running to Natchez, had a thrilling experience.

At Carson, Miss., the next point the tornado struck, the Mississippi Central railroad depot was blown down, also a church, school house and two big build ings, and several cabins. Here the tor nado's path was but 200 yards wide, and the wind blew from the southeast. From Carson the stomn crossed the state line into Alabama, where It began to lose much of Its destructive power. A remarkable report comes from the State Insane Asylum at Jackson, La.. where nearly all the patients were left without shelter, twenty of them se riously Injured. Several cases of chronic hysteria are reported to have been shocked Into what their physicians declare may prove permanent recov ery. Governor Blanchard has rushed tents _id cots from the state military t plies for the temporary housing of asylum Inmates.

ASKS A NEW TRIAL New Orleans, La., April 0.—After five consecutive days, the argument In the Greene-Gnynor case was closed by P. W. Meldrim, of Savananh, yesterday evening with an appeal to the court for a new trial. .Mr. Mcldrlm claimed that It was t violation of the national honor to ex tredlte prisoners, as he said had been done In Greene and Gaynor’s case, for an extraditable offense, and then to take advantage of the Jurisdiction thus gained to try them on Indictments for dllfcrent offenses. Ho repeated the claim of the defense that extradition had been for participation In fraud by an ugent or trustee, while one of the In dictments was for conspiracy, which was not an extraditable offense. As for the two other indictments, he declared the prisoners could qot be tried for any offense except that which they had been extradited for. Captain Carter's alleged fraudulent specifications, Mr Meldrim said, were precisely the same as those of hts pre decessor, except the provisions for an eight-hour day, American labor, and that good order be preserved m the work. The court took the case under con sideration. Judges Shelby, Pardee nnd McCormick constitute the court. O000000000O0000000OO0000OO 0 0 0 MAN’S BODY IN GRAVE 0 0 HE DUG FOR HIMSELF.
