the other, what's to he done?
Owing to the unintelligible mixture of
Ilusslnn and English, the divorce suit of
Annie Tlskln vs. Sain Tlsklu, a shoemaker,
caused Judge Kills, the attorneys, the wit
nesses, the plaintiff aud the defendant much
trouble when it was heard Wednesday
morning. The 'risking have still more trou

they must not only get a divorce In court,
but also, according to their religion, one
Trom a rabbi. This will he even more trou
blesome than the first, for at present there
Is no rabbi near Atlanta who cuu perform
the comnllcnted ceremony.
In addition to all manner of testimony
ami solemn ouths. the Jewish divorce cere
mony, seldom performed, consists in the
writing of a remarkable document, which
can only lie done by u rabbi of long exnerl-
ence. This bill of divorce must be written
In Hebrew with twelve letters to the line and

divorce, the statement of the witnesses mid
other facts. The writing ofr the Tlsklu
divorce, which will be done by Rabbi Levin,
who will come to Atlanta in the near
future to take charge of the orthodox
church here, will require several hours.
This very proceeding. It Is believed, came
near causlug Mrs. Tlsklu to lose her
suit In court Wednesday. To get a He
brew divorce both parties have to lie will
ing, but American law frowns down upon
divorces by agreement. When In the
course of the testimony It w'iis brought out
that there was some sort of an agree
ment about the Hebrew divorce, the attor
ney for the defendant used It as a point
In hls favor. The case, which was based
upon nllcgcd cruel treatment by the hus
band, lasted all morning aud on luto the
afternoon.
After waiting twenty-five years

man Theodore Burton, for six terms
the Twenty-first Ohio's representative
In congress, going there by an over
whelming vote of the people of the
East Side of the city of Cleveland, an
nounces that he will yield to the de
mands of the people and oppose Tom
L. Johnson for the mayoralty.
For a week the demands that he
sacrifice his career In Washington and
la the nation’s affairs to the duty of
regaining Cleveland to thp Republi
cans have been Insistent! In announc
ing that he would accept the nomina
tion, the congressman declared the
delegation must be elected fairly, must
nominate a clean ticket and adopt a.
platform clearly showing that no al
liance exists between the Republican
party and the traction Interests op

Tax Collector Andy Stewart ap
peared before the county commission
ers Wednesday morning and urged
them that for the sake of his office
they fix the eounty rate as soon as
possible, so that he might begin com
puting the tnxeB which the citizens will
have to pay. Informally the commis
sioners decided to postpone the fixing
of the rate until all were present. Mr.
Stewart said:
"Gentlemen, It Is a big Job, and we
have but a short time. And, gentlemen,
please make the rate an easy figure.
Never have I known you to flx the rate
at 31 on the hundred. Last year it
was 98 cents, and that meant all kinds
of ggurlng. The state will probably
make their rate 60 cents, and if you
make the county rate 60 rents thp total
will be one dollar 'nnd much labor will
be saved. Don’t any of you fellows try
grahdstand play by cutting off or
adding on any fractions."
"I think,” snld Colonel Clifford An-
‘derson. solemnly, “that we might make
the rate one dollar and one and three-
eighth ccntB.”
At this the assemblage laughed.
Commissioners Anderson, Carter and
Palmer were present. It was stated
that a special meeting will be held as
soon as the other two return, when
the tax rate will be fixed.

Rate clerks representing the railroad:!
In the Southeastern Passenger Associa
tion art In aeprion Wednesday at the
olficea of the association In the Equi
table building figuring out the winter
tourists' rates.
While It has not yet been announced,
It Is generally believed In railroad cir
cles that while these clerks are In ses
sion that the question of Inter-llne
rates In Georgia will be considered and
hy doing so a cause of Inconvenience
and confusion In Georgia at present
will be removed.
Ever since the order of the railroad
commission .went Into effect Monday
reducing the passenger fares, the roads
have declined to sell through tickets
Inside the state where the Journey was
on more than, one road. Aa a result
passengers have been greatly Incon
venienced by having to re-check bag
gage and buy other ticket!.
It was claimed to he impossible with
in so short a time to sell through tick
ets under the circumstances.
Before this can fie done and thing*
put In a normal condition, It Is neces
sary for the rate clerks to get together
and figure things out, and this In
volves considerable work.
Notwithstanding the assertion of
Chairman MrLendon of the railroad
commission that the Western and At
lantic Is amenable to the orders of tho
commission throughout Its length ,to
Chattanooga, the 2-cent rate had not
been applied to Chattanooga Wednes
day morning.
Oeneral Passenger Agent C. E. Har
man of the Western and Atlantic had
received no advices as to a through rata
Wednesday morning, and until he does
receive orders, the 2-cent rata for ai>
Interstate ticket to Chattanooga will
remain In force.
Of course It Is possible for passen
gers to purchase tickets to a town near
the state line at the 2-cent rate and
then pay fare Into Chattanooga, but
this fare to the end of the Journey
must be paid at a higher rate because
It Is paid on the train and If the pas
senger has any baggage, It will be put
off at the point- to where the ticket
