Perhaps this theory might also explain why a woman can never wear a moustache! 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. Your julep, Mr. Watterson, must bo imported • hereafter—and from a far country. Colonel John Temple Graves writes of somebody's being "to the qianor born.” Now who would have thought that?—Nor folk Dispatch. Does Tbe Dispatch think it should bo to the "manner born?" If ao, The Dispatch should fresben up on lts Kngtlsh classics, or at least consult a reliable dictionary of quotations. Tbe Dispatch Ii not the only paper that falls Into the error of writing It "man ner." They are the words of Horatio In tbe fourth scene of tbe first act of Hamlet, and although some modem editions, under tho manipulation of the "Intelligent compositor." have printed "manner.” Knlght'e edition, which Is the best. Writes "manor,” }'ist as Shakespeare Wrote it, and Horatio meant it, and as the context Jqulres. 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."

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.

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. It la noteworthy (hot few expresa a preference for any ether particular can didate. Some would like a Southerner, and Senator McCreary, of Kentucky, la mentioned, aa well as Hoke Smith, 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 stands now Is Bryan or no one. the masa of Southern Democratic editors refuse to take either horn ot the dilemma.

Reginald returns to New York from France, anti lie- gins squandering tbe money with which bis cousin supplies him. When they got back they found the expected telegram: "All right; coming, though don’t un derstand. Meet me at station tonight. "HARRIS." ■So far so good,” said Frank. "That relieves my mind a bit. Now let us go to the hotel and engage a room for Harris.” "By the bye," sold the hotel clerk, as they were coming away, "one thing I forgot to tell you, sir. Mr, Bracc- brldge teemed very anxious about a telegram he expected to receive from Baltimore. He was In and out half a dosen times a day Inquiring If It had come. In cose a telegram should arrive after you leave, shall I forward It on to you ?" "I should be extremely glad It you would,” Frank said, producing hit card. “Inclose It to this address, and thank you very much for the sugges tlon.” Then they went out upon the swel tering street again and felt the heated asphalt yielding softly to every foot tread. "What do you say to the shady sldo?" sold the detective, mopping hts fore head, "with something nice and cool under an awning?" "With a lunch to follow,” Frank In terposed. "Capital!” Frank fell In with the suggestion of Detective Lnftus, because It gave him the opportunity he long wanted. The secret of the Bracebridges with Its various ramifications oppressed him. He felt powerless to act by himself. Reginald’!) death had much depressed him. He resolved to take Mike Loftus Into hts confidence. He knew that Loftus was absolutely to be trusted, and besides he wanted to 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.
