Our Country for October con
tains a synopala of tho vlewn of
Hon. Henry Watterson on the
question of prohibition, temper
ance. and the regulation 6f the
liquor trafllc. Among other state
ments that furnish food for re
flection, Mr. Watterson says:
"The saloon should bo ao con
ducted as to no more Invite police
supervision than any other retail
business—than the corner gro
cery, or the drug store; and the
liquor Interests should welcome
the regulations that take It out of
the category of crime and put It
In that of commerce."
Too late, Mr. Watterson. Years
hence the question may reset Into that
line of amiable conservative action.
Hut the saloon has bad its probation
and failed to make good. Its abuses
have brought about Its destruction.
Tho Southern country Is water bent
on a fair full trial for prohibition.

LET THE PUBLIC UNDERSTAND THE PUMP QUESTION.
So few know a centrifugal, or a horizontal or a vertical
pump from a flying machine that we have thought it wise to talk
a little today in everyday language about what is meant by the
centrifugal pump that haa caused so much talk nod controversy
in the Water Board and City Hall circles generally.
Most of us have at some time in our lives taken a square
piece of paper, about half as big as a dollar bill is long, cut slits
in it from the corners toward the center, pulled up each corner,
stuck a pin through the center, where the points come together,
and had as a result a little pin wheel that would spin around
when blown against and please tbe children. Steel and brass
and iron in the place of paper and a jet of steam two hundred
pounds to the square inch and 68,000 horsepower in place of
the human breath blowing the little paper represent the dif
ference between the toy and the power of the now famous Lus
itania, the greatest ship the world has ever seen—exactly the
same principle involved, only that in place of the four “fins” that
you blow your breath against on the pin wheel, the Lusitania’s
“centrifugal” or “turbine” engines have tens and hundreds of
thousands of little brass “fins” that stick out from an immense
shaft like n great pine cone as high as the tallest tree you ever
saw, and when the great pressure of steam blows against all of
these, the great shafts spin around at an unthinkable speed.
Now, it is easy to see that if blowing against the little pin
wheel makes it spin around, then if you could turn tho little wheel
rapidly with tho fingers, the wheel would push the air away from
it, or, if it were water or something of that kind, it would push the
water away as the propeller of a boat docs—a propeller is only a
grown-up pin wheel, anyway. So the centrifugal pump, or "tur
bine” pump, forces the water through the pipes just as the boat’s
propeller forces water behind the boat and makes the boat go
ahead—the principle is as old as the hills, and so simple, it would
seem, that it fails to command the proper respect to which it is
entitled.
“Vertical ” or horizontal pumps arc great cylinders as big
as tho boiler of a great locomotive, and the piston, ao called, is
pushed back and forth inside of it by an engine sucking the great
cylinder full of water at ono stroke and forcing it out through
the city mains upon its return. The principal virtues of this style
of pump are that it weighs about three times ns much ns the
newer centrifugal or turbine pump, is about five times as compli
cated, is nice and old-fashioned, nnd in Atlanta’s particular case
would cost about $80,000 more than the centrifugal.
Centrifugal pumps are not experiments, nor is the centrifu
gal idea anything but a success. The English are supposed to be
a long way more conservative than we are even in Atlanta, yet
they risked a Lusitania nt something like twelve million dollars
on the centrifugal idea—and, bless your heart, she of such enor
mous hulk plowed through the water on her maiden trip, when
' everything in her mechanism wns as stiff as a new pair of two-
dollar shoes on a country boy, at over 30 miles im hour, or, as fast
ns the fastest train takes you from Atlanta to New York, nnd
faster than the course she followed has ever been made before.
Eriglaml, again the mistress of the seas, is now trusting her bat
tleships to the application of tho same principle, ami great cities
like Buffalo and Toronto of tlirco and four times tho size of At
lanta are not only using centrifugal pumps successfully, but erect
ing more of them ns they need more water.
A GREAT RELIGIOUS GATHERING.
Richmond, Virginia, a city modem In all things which make tor
progress and development In these aggressive times, yet rich In memo
rials and reminders of periods t^hlrh were epochal Id American history,
has today within Iti hospitable borders a wonderful body of men, repre
sentative of one of the oldest and moat Influential religious sods of the
world, The forty-flfth triennial general council of the Protestant Episco
pal Church ot the United States was formally organized for bualuesa on
Wednesday at Richmond, with exercises remarkable for their beautiful
Impressiveness and for the splendor of ritualistic ceremony. Virginia
claims not only to be the mother o( presidents, but Also has a right to
be acknowledged as tho flrst home In America of that great religious de
nomination, the Protostant Episcopal Church.
Bringing with them to this country In tho early colonial daya the
love ot home, a reverence for sacred thing* and a clinging to tho faith of
their fathers, the English gentlemen and gentlewomon, who found con
genial environment In the Inspiring freshness and glory of the new
world, were not content until from the modest spires of new churches
the sweet calling of bells told of the planting upon the hillsides of Vir
ginia ot that old faith which was a part of their very being: Many of
these plcturesquo colonial churches, some ot them built of brick brought
across the Atlantic, (till survive tho ruthless touch of passing years.
And while these quaint old temples are still standing as monuments to
the devotion and enterprise of our forefathers, the building of splendid
churches In Virginia cities haa kopt pace with the advancement of mod
ern Ideals and tho demands of modern development.
The one In which the general council la now holding Its sessions at
Richmond Is a beautiful specimen of present day architecture and It Is
peculiarly fitting that within Its sacred precincts the general council
should aaaemble, bringing together as it does this wonderful Intellectual
and religious aggregation. repreaentatlve,of every section of the republic.
Tho ceremonies at the opening of the council on Wednesday have never
been surpassed In picturesque effect In this country, and Richmond,
which has been tho scene ot ao many marvelous manifestations of hu
man Interest, never witnessed a demonstration which necessarily awak
ened more sacred traditions of a wonderful past which leaping across
the years found expression In ono of the moat active religious agencies
of tho present day.
Of the House of Bishops, numbering one hundred and two members,
only ten were absent at the opening of the general council on Wednes
day, and these with the lay and clerical delegates make an executive
body of nearly one thousand.
Notwithstanding the brilliant pageant which marked the inaugura
tion of the council, nnd which was witnessed by thousands of men,
women and children who crowded tbe atreeta about St. Paul's church,
perhaps the moat notable feature of the day was the sermon delivered
by Right Rev. Wlnnlngton-ingram, bishop of London. In hla sermon,
which was remarkable tor Its earnest simplicity, the bishop took Issue
with those dangerous modern teachings which try to effect a compromise
between the faith of the earlier church and the unbelief of what Is
termed the "new theology." In referring to these things, the good blah'
op said:
“I have no means of knowing the trend of religious thought
In the United 8tatei, but from my experience of east, north and
west London, the future Ilea with no churoh which sinks to what
is called the new theology.
"God forbid we should say a word against any Individual
man. who believes as much as he can of the Christian creed, but
what we must beware on both sides of the Atlantic Is losing the
power of our message' by trying to make It easier to be be
lieved.
"But after all la said and done, the moat evangelistic, tbe
most catholic, the most orthodox on earth will produce no effect
upon tbe world If It has not still one further characteristic. It must
clearly and unmistakably, and before all tbe world, be unworld
ly Itself.
"Hear with me, then, when I say as my last word, that the
greatest danger ot the church on both sides of the Atlantic la
worldliness."

A CLEAR PLEA FOR TEACHERS.
To the Editor of The Georgian:
Now that the pupils are all comfortably
seated for the coming school year, perhaps
It might be well to turn the attention of
the public to the teachers. In this connec
tion, It seems but natural to address these
remarks to you, air, the loyal friend of
the teacher, as shown by your position In
the past, and at an advocate of what Is
Just.
Without commenting on what arduous and
strenuous work every teacher haa nnd bow
health
' r palu ...
There Is the buaidpd chivalry of «ur South-
m men that such humiliating thing should
be permitted?
Every one know* that prices along all
lines have adrauced; living Is much more
expensive now than It has twen In years:
nnd yet a great many teachers have to toll
for only $40 per month, and that after
serving the schools a whole year ns super
numerary Knitls; the dollar or two coming
In occasionally when one of the regular
teachers happens to be sick. The tempta
tion on the part of the supernumerary
often Is great to pray for n little more
sickness on the part of the teachers, so
she might earn a paltry dollar or two dur
ing the month. Where Is the Atlanta spir
it that 1ms tbe patience to countenance
lythlug like tbnt? *
More work and more scholarship are re
quired of a teacher now than have ever
lieen required In the history of tb# Atlanta
public schools, and the pay Is corresponding
ly less, la It surprising, then, that a great
many teachers hnvo dropped ont and will
Irop out of the ranks? And let me whisper
to you that they did uot nnd will not drop
out to marry, either.
A teachers Is required to look neat nnd
sweet In the aeltool room, but can she do
t on $40. or. perhaps, $45 per month? To
Ive decently, she has to pay nt least $25 to
$30 per month hoard. and whence, I ask you.
will the clothes come, nnd whence a few
pennies that she onght to pnt aside for the
proverbial "rainy day.” or sick day. which
must come from the dreadful strain under
which she labors? Very often, too. It Is not
herself alone whom she supports.
As n rale, tlfe lower grades consist of six
ty pupils. Now I msk you In all fairness.
Is It not worth nt least $1 to tench each
pupil n month? There Is not a parent In
Atlanta that wonld think that $1 would be
too much to pay a teacher per month for
one child.
I would lie glad If you wonld open the
ves of tbe public to these existing condl-
.Jons, and may yon meet with success In

(From The Philadelphia Inquirer.)
The New York Times haa canvassed
the Democratic editors of the South and
finds there Is n decided slump In the
advocacy of the nomination of Bryan.
A few months ago It was considered
Inevitable, but now It seems'that there
I* a good deal of hedging. Some of the
editors dislike Mr. Bryan's position on
public questions. Some consider that
he Is a fine man, but unavailable. Many
seem to be ao completely In the dumpa
that they are unable to give an Intel
llgtble expression of opinion.

whose popularity I* not quite so great
a* one might have expected. Some
think that New York ought to have the
principal say, though they are some
what fearful of another Parker fiasco.
The suggestion of Chenier seems to
have aroused no genuine enthusiasm.
Although the actual situation aa. It

And soon the leaves aglow

Said the brookle( to ths pebble:

"I should be extremely glad It you

Then they went out upon the swel

enlist his aid for the final Titanic strug
gle with Mueller which Frank felt cer
tain was coming. He therefore ac
cepted Loftus' suggestion with alacrltv.
CHAPTER LXXXIII.
In Mystery's Tangle.
A quarter of an hour later, as they
lighted cigars and leaned back with a
comfortable sense of refreshment,
Frank said:
Well, what da you think about that
letter?"
•Your cousin's?"
•Yea"
"I don'* know. It’s too l)ot to at
tempt to think today.”
"But you may have an Idea”
•Perhaps."
•I don't like parables—perhaps
what?"
"That the Boron Slavlnsky might
be able to throw some light upon the
mystery, provided he were alive."
"Why shouldn't he be alive?”
"Ood knows! Who was the dead
man In the trunk 7”
•'Slavlnsky? Absurd!"
"Why absurd? Suppose your cousin
made one mod and final attempt to see
the baroness. Half a -dozen drinks,
for Instance, might have worked him
up to that pitch, and then”
"Yes—and then," Frank said ex
citedly. "Just so—and then?"
"Well, and then something probably
happened. Somebody went to Cleve
land In a Saratoga trunk. It. was not
your cousin.”
"Good Heavens!" Frank exclaimed.
"I can never believe that. No. no, no.
Besides, I know positively that the
man In the trunk, whoever he may be.
Is not her husband.”
"How do you know that?” said Lof
tus. quickly.
"Because." sold Frank. Impressively,
leaning forward, "because Mueller Is
her husband.”
Mike Loftus was not easily startled,
but he sat bolt upright with an excla
mation.
• "Mueller!" he exclaimed. "How do
you know?"
"She told me so,” responded Frank.
Loftus leaned back and laughed.
"Just so—she told you so," he said.
Ironically, "and you believed It?”
"Yes, I did and I do.”
"Still?"
"Yes, thoroughly."
"A woman who planted a corpse on
you and then ran away, leaving you
to take the consequences! You could
accept the word of a woman like that?"
"Well," Frank said, In some confu
sion. "of course circumstances are very
much against her. Still"
"Fiddlesticks, man!" said Loftus. "I
wont to help you out of this mess, and
mean to do so. but don't, for good
ness' sake, talk such rot. The truth Is
—excuse my blunt way of putting It—
but the truth Is she Is a very fascinat
ing woman and you have fallen lu love
with her.”
Frank waited for Loftus' mirth 11* dls
down. Then he began to speak In Ion-,
ra->ld-tones.
"You may be right, Loftue. You
have guessed something which I have
not yet admitted to myself. But out
side of that I am so morally convinced
that Mueller nnd Baron Slavlnsky are
one and the same that I am willing
to stake my fortune upon It. Let me
tell you why."
He then recounted for him In rapid
sentences the occurrences of that night
ni Saratoga and the common knowl
edge possessed by himself, Mme. Sla
vlnsky nnd Mueller. He brought up
the scattered threads of the other epi
sodes connecting the three lives, and
then said, slowly:
"You wilt not be eblo to understand
nil this until I reveal to you the se
cret of the Bracebridges, which no one
knows save members of the family and
those of one other family, their heredl.
tary enemies. The secret Involves the
telling of a long story."
"Go ahead," said Loftus, briefly,
puffing at hla cigar.
Ths Bracsbridgs Secret.
"Generations ugo a Bracsbridgs ot
Scotland and a Mueller of Russian
birth met on a soiling vessel bound for
tho west coast of South America. Both
were fleeing from the wrath of fathers
who objected to youthful escapades.
The two men. although not actively
liking each other, struck up quite a
companionship, because of all the ship
load they were the only ones with any
pretensions to birth and breeding.
"I will not take the time to tell you
#11 their adventure*. They left the
ship at a South American port and
went Into the wild region of the Andes
mountains to hunt for gold. They were
captured by a tribe of Indians, but
their appearance pleased some of tha
equaws and they were adopted hy the
tribe Instead of being killed. The
young men assisted at many rites of
the tribe, but were most Interested In
l he queer burial custom.
"This tribe had a tradition that If the
bones of any one of their number were
to lie unburied by fire, air, earth and
water, much ovll would come, and they
would go to any length to get the
bodies of their people after a battle.
It was said that no member of the tribe
had ever missed burial according to
their rites.
"The rites were long and Impressive,
but the four chief features of them
were the holsftng of the body In air.
Its lowering Into a stream of running
water, its hasty passing through an Im
mense funeral pyre where the gar
ments enshrouding tho body were
scorched but the body Itself unharm
ed, and the final burial of the remains
in earth.
"After the men had been members of
the tribe for some years they were ta
ken to their holiest piece of worship,
visited only every seven years.
“You can judge of the astonishment
of the men when thoy found that tho
tribal place of worship was an Immense
diamond mine, containing stones of
most wonderful size and luster.
"With the enthusiasm of young ad
venturers they resolved to wrest a for.
tune from the mine. It took them
months to elude the vigilance of tho
tribe enough to make secret visits to
the mine. They made a map of It and
of the way to reach It, end wrote full
descriptions of It. Each secured also
n collection of Immense and valuable
diamonds.”
