THE GEORGIAN COMES TO M GEORGIA AS THE St NSH’NE & Envy, to which th' Ignoble mind’s a slave Is emulation In the learned or brave. —POPE. ■ Welcome, Mr. Jerome. I The presence la Atlanta of William Travors Jerome, district attorney of New York county, together with two of his assistants, Francis P. Oarvan and Almutb C. Vandl ver. Is an event of more than passing Interest and Impor- tance. Among nil the champions of reform no one stands out more conspicuously In the public view than Mr. Jerome. The energy and fearlessness with which he baa gone out after offenders against the law abd has pursued crime In high places have challenged the admiration of the whole country. Long ago he won the reputation of being a man who “would not flatter Neptune for hts trl dent nor Jupiter for the power to thunder." HU persona] and political courage ham become proverbial and are wejl Illustrated whenever the occasion demands. Mr. Jerome Is yet a young man. He Is only In. his forty-seventh year. But be has been a bard student and - a hard worker. Through the Influence of his father be secured an appointment In the district attorney's office under John JL Fellows, one of the ablest officials who ever occupied that responsible position, and events have shown that he profited to the fullest extent by bis tute lage. After a term of service In this position he was se lected as a Justice of special sessions, discharging tho duties of that office for seven yea.£. In 1901 he was chosen to the position of district at torney, and last year was re-elected by an overwhelming majority. This last contest was one of the most strenu ous and dramatic In the history of New York politics. He refused to be tied up by pledges to Democrats or Repub licans and made his race as an Independent, with ho other platform than his own past achievements- It was a whirlwind campaign. Mr. Jerome fa a graph ic and forceful speaker, and he did not hesitate to burl defiance at his critics In unmistakable terms. It was on the strength of his own vigorous persoqallty and hts reputation for Incorruptible Integrity that he won one of tho most notable victories in the history of tho city. To those who could only reason according to the logic of machine politics, his election was something of a Htirprlso, and yet those who knew tho man and his methods—his honesty, sincerity and energy—the result was very much what they had anticipated. Mr. Jorotno comes South to address tho Bar Aaaocln tlon of the state of Georgia, which has postponed tho date of Us meeting ten days In order to suit his convenience. That ho Is one of the busiest men In tho state of Now York goes without saying. Just at this time he and his assistants are busy with the case of Harry Thaw, who will soon be brought to trial for tho murder of Stanford White. Tho Bar Association and the people of Ooorgta are therefore fortunate In being able to secure his at tendance and that of his ablo assistants, at this Juncture. His address at Warm Springs will be one of tho most uotablo In the history of tho organization. No man of so positive and independent a character as Mr. Jerome could fall to mnko many and bitter enemies. He Is criticised for not prosocutlng the men who are al leged to have been guilty of malfeasanco in connection with tho Insurance exposures, but be takes the groupd that while they are morally guilty, tbo technical proof to convict them Is wanting and a case has not been made out against them. Again bo is criticised for not hasten ing the prosecution of Harry Thaw, but ho replies that there are nearly a score of murder casos which have precedence of that of Thaw and that the richest man in the country would have to take his turn before the bar of Justice. In fact he Is a storm center In cortaln quarters of New York, but he maintains a serenity which only exas perates his enemies. He and his assistants are heartily welcome to Atlan ta. Every man who loves the cause, of reform feels a personal Interest In his visit and looks forward with tho keenest pleasure to wbat he may say before the Bar As sociation of the state- * As to Mr. Jordan’s Letter and the Bucket Shops. We of course have noticed with considerable Interest Mr. Jordan's letter In Sunday's Atlanta Journal referring to editorials which have appeared In The Georgian- regret that Mr. Graves has been suffering from a bron chlal attack and that It became necessary on Friday for him to go to the seashore for the benefit of his health Naturally Mr. Graves Is tho proper one to reply to Mr. Jordan's letter. If ho chooses. We have not heard from him concerning the letter, but can safely promlso to print a reply at an early date. AS PUBLISHER OF THE GEORGIAN I DESIRE TO ASSURE HON.

The Death of Alfred Beit. Tbo richest man In the world pasted away today. Alfred Belt himself would have had eome difficulty, l<erhaps, in making a reasonable estimate of his own wealth, but It Is generally conceded that hit fortune waa something )|ke a billion dollars, and that It exceeded that of any other man then living- lie was comparatively a young man, being but lltUe more than 63 years ot age at the time of his death. One by one the men whu made South Africa what she Is are passing to the great beyond. Barney Bernato was the first to go. He was the most picturesque and !>erhaps the most daring of them ell. From a clown In a circus—so the story goes—he rose to be one of the powers In the De Been Mining Company,, and with all his wealth he never enUrely lost some of the attribute* of a harlequin until that fateful day when he Jumped overboard In midocean on ble way to England from the Cape. , That strange mixture of dreamer and man of action, Cecil Rhodes, was next to go, leaving behind him an Im mense fortune and a name for achievement which will not die for many a year to come. And now we are called upon to chronicle the death of another of the famous company. Alfred Belt, like Bernato and Rhodes, died a bachelor, and It Is not known what will become of hie Immense property Interests. It is only known that with all hie wealth he bad to pay the final debt of nature, and once more we realise that "If health were a thing that money could buy The rich would live and the poor would die." Eugenie’s Closing Days. A few days ago an aged woman—one who had passed her eightieth year—wrote to the Emperor Francis Joseph thst she felt the near approach of death and wished to be near him once more. This aged woman was nono other than the former Empress Eugenie, once the Idol of tbo French and tho beanty of Europe. That she Is still living will come as something of a surprise to thoso who do not keep Inform ed of the world's affairs with the steady regularity which the shifting kaleldoscopo demands, and Indeed she la a re minder of a past which has receded so far that It Is as If she came from another world on those rare Instances when she makes her appearance among tho people of any of the various countries where she Is always welcome. There Is no more pathetic figure in all Europe except her sister In misfortune, the ex-Empress Carlotta, the un fortunate wife of the Emperor Mxamlllan. She, too, la bowed with the weight of age and caret and le living out something more than the Psalmist's span In the retire ment of an asylum. Since thst far-off day whon, kneel ing before tho pope, begging that he would lntorcedo In behalf qf her husband, her mind suddenly gave way, there has not been a ray of reason to visit her raelan- choly mind. She has stood a* a pathetic figure, a mo ment o morl of a regime which has long slnco passed away. There Is In these two pathetic figures a lesson be yond all the power ot words. They stand as living exam ples of the evanescence ot human greatness and power, and tho thought ot either ot them always summons a world of melancholy reflections. It may be true that the Empress Eugenie Is correct It may be that she Is nearing the end of hor long and eventful career. 8ome premonition that such Is the case Boems to have entered Into her mthd and heart and Impellod her to seek the old friend who has stood by her bo loyally for all these years. It reminds one ot tho words ot Woolsey to the effect that "an old man bowod with years has como to beg a Ilttlo earth for charity. Sho Is rich so far as this world’s goods go. But the friends of hsr youth have, passed away. Few of the reigning sovereigns were on the throne when she was forced to lay aside her trappings of state. In a short time more tho curtain will fall on this great drama of her life—one of the most vital and Important In tho history of the world. She will go to her last reward and lay aside all the sorrows that environed her. No life in its meridian primo waa mare brilliant than hers and In Its evening shadows none is more pathetic.

HUNDREDS DO HONOR TO HIS HOME-COMING Faith in His Cause, Confi dence in Its Success, His - Most Striking Quali ties—Has NeVer Considered Defeat. By SELENE ARMSTRONG. "Three cheers for Oovernor Dickl” "Hurrah for our own Dick Russell!” "All aboard for Winder, the next capital of Georgia!” "Hollo, Dick! - ' and W. L. Hewlett, for seven years court bailiff under Judge Russell at Lawrencevilel, threw both arms around him and kleed him right fervently. "Howdy, governor!" “Hurrah!” "Hurrah!" "Hur—r-a— h!" This story begins with a braas band and over 300 enthusiastic Gwinnett county voters who Joined Judge Richard B. Russell at Lawrencevllle Saturday and accompanied him to Winder, where he spoke for the first time since enter ing the gubernatorial race. It was his home-coming after five months upon the hustings, after a campaign which must be recorded as one of the most audacious and picturesque ever made In the state, and Winder and adjoining towns had closed their stores and other places of business In order to show how a prophet may be honored In hla own country. Reception at Winder. The trajn bearing Judge Russell and the Gwinnett county voters was met at Winder by a still larger throng and by still another brass band. Through the crowd marched Sheriff R. T. Mar tin and ex-Tax Collector A. W. Moore, of Gwinnett, carrying a huge banner, which bore. In splendid red and blue lettering, the words, "Gwinnett will give I.ooo majority for her own Judge Russell." After more hurrahing, which was this tlmo a combination of Winder and Gwinnett county enthusiasm, and after a general handshaking. Judge Russell reached the carriage which had been With tremendous puffs ilh si and snorts, started on Ha the north-bound tral way. Good-bye, Clarkel" - Good-bye, Hoke!"

Russell, the Man. This Is not a political tale. It does not aim In any sense whatever to pro mote any political Interests. Ite pur pose Is to portray something of a per sonality which has asserted Itself so forcefully In two recent Georgia cam- and to give a brief outline of the most uniquely Interesting races aver made In thle state for the office of governor. Wnat Is It In “Plain Dick" Russell; e man, that made possible two years ago hie remarkable race for chief Jus tice ot the supreme court, when In forty-one days he polled *3,000 votes against the late Chief Justice Slmmoni X lO had held the office eighteen years'^ What characteristics have enabled him, without money, without Influence, with* out the support, In tho beginning of the gubernatorial race, of a single news , to hold hla own against candl who control, In a large degree, all these forces, to win to hts suppor' thirty-two Georgia newspapers, and t< so lay hold upon the hearts of the peo pie that his chances tor the cover norshlp are conceded by discerning pol iticians to have assumed serious pro- portions t Does the power of the man lie- In hla personality, or In his' platform? Or In >oth? These are questions which have forced themselves upon the attention of the people of Georgia, and which the writer bore constantly In mind during the day spent with Judge Rusaell upon the platform and In his home at Wind' Firet Impression Disappointing. Tha first Impressions of Judge Rue eelt were distinctly disappointing. He waa not so ugly aa I had a right to xpect to find him, and Instead of farm- iris Jeans, he wore an eminently re spectable Prince Albert coat and creased trousers. Even these, however, detracted nothing from the glory of his home-coming, and when he enter*!! the densely packed auditorium of the wind er school building the men who have known him longest and beat cheered THE RUSSELL HOME, .

From sev eral hundred people on the outside, who could not find seats In the auditorium, the applause waa as strong. .Judge Russell was Introduced by W. H. Toole, prealden of the Winder Savings bank. On the platform eat many prominent clttsena ot Gwinnett, Walton and Jackson counties. Prominent Supporters. A few who were on the stage from Gwinnett county were: C. M. Moor cock, editor; Major W. E. Simmons, T. Haslet, farmer; R. T. Martin, sher- .... Judge J. P. Webb, ordinary; A. M. Moore, farmer; Captain W. J. Born, Dr. M. A. Born, C. C. Walk blacksmith; C. U. Born. Colonel F. F. Juhan, W. P.

Strange, mayor; W. H. Toole, president of Winder Savings bank; Rev. W. T. Hamby. 8. J. Smith, fanner; A. L. Smith, farmer; /Jacob Dowry, fanner, and Hon. Pearse Now- 11, of Monroe. Mr. Toole’s Introduction ot Judge Russell was followed by brief speeches from J. A. Perry and Walter Brown, of Atlanta. In the opening words ot his speech, "Plain Dick" Russell thanked his fel low townsmen for the welcome they had given him. His words bore an unmis takable stamp of sincerity and convic tion. It la the Intensity of the man that Impresses you first, and It was the earnestness of his nature that made me, when I Intended aeklng If he really seriously hopes to be elected governor, modify my question and say, “If you are defeated. Judge, will you run again?” Hae Never Considered Defeat. With characteristic energy, he re plied, "I have never considered being defeated." It was easy to see that Judge Russell Is making the Identity of hie Interests with those of the masses the Issue of his campaign. And from the enthusl asm which this Identity of Interests calls forth,'1t Is evident that he plays a strong hand. His appeal, direct, pas sionate, Is to the common people. Un mistakably he. feels that he le one of them—their cause hla cauae. "And when the voice of the sover eign people Is heard at the ballot, Georgia will see that the common peo ple remembered their ‘Plain Dick’ Rus sell," he declared confidently, amid cries of "Yes, yes, Dick,” and "Three cheers for ’Plain Dick* Russell.” He never usee the pronoun "I,” but always the word "bur." The Issues of his platform upon which he dwells longest are the ’ Issues that seem to touch vitally the masses. His language It a simple tongue; his Illustrations are the hqmely ones of every-day life. Believes In Hie Cause. With an Impassioned conviction ot the righteousness of his cause, with a faith In the common people that Is os a sacred trust given Into their keeping, and with an Inborn kinship to their joys and sorrows "Plain Dick" Russell stands unique In hts aspiration to make manifest In deeds the faith that Is in him. The moat readily recognized factor In Judge Russell’s popularity as a speaker has not, os yet, been mentioned. This le hi* ready humor—certainly the most valuable asset of a public speaker. He has a never-falling fund of anecdotes and telling witticisms. He wlelde with deadly effect the weapon ot ridicule, yet when hie enemies sleep soundly In the absurd little graves to. which he consign* them, one realizes that his wit has been without venom. Main Istuae of Hie Platform. The main Issues of Judge Russell’s platform, as outlined In his speech at Winder, are as follows: 1. Equalisation of taxes,' by which the burden ot the tax-payer would be reduced 60 per cent. 3. The extension of the state road to th* coast as th* only permanent and fair adjustment ot freight rates. 3. Local option. 4. Nlns months' school term In the rural districts, and equitable school taxes. I. Reduction of railroad fare to 3 cents per mile and use of Interchange able mileage books. f. Th* election of railroad commis sioners by the people.

During hts picturesque campaign of five months Judge Russell ha* can vassed ninety-seven counties, often speaking six and eight times In a single day. With an indefatigable energy, he has electioneered oh trains and on the country roadways. The most striking feature of his campaign, and one of which he does not boast. Is the econ omy with which It ha* been conducted. "It was hard for me to decide to en ter the race,” he told me. "because there are my children, and I did not know whether It would be right to them to give up the Judgeship and stakt so much time and effort on the race. Finally my wife decided for me, and neither, of us has ever been sorry of her choice."

Now, what I want to know Is, have I any valid reason for coinciding with you, and let me ask, heve you any great and good reason for saying that Mr. Upton Sinclair made an error In accepting a Socialistic nomination? Now, I know, there Is a "thing,” and by the coprtesy of fair play I may be permitted to call It a reason, and this reason or "thing," if you please, Is the only why.

Thomas Collier Platt, celebrated his 7Jd birthday yesterday by holding a reception at hts summer home, the Manhattan Beach hotel, which was at tended by many politicians from ill sections of the state. In speaking of the event. Mr. Platt had this to say: "Yes, I know I am 73 fears old today. I know it onlj- as a matter of simple fact, not because I feel that old or tbit young. - To be 73 years old feels Ju»t like being 70. In other words, I feel Just the same as I did three years ago Just the same as I did yesterday. "Politics? I know nothing of politics It Is ail a blank to me. 1 am a nega tive propoiltlon, a looker-on." From the "leaders" who gathered about him the last declaration of Sena tor Platt may be taken In a Pickwick ian sense. There Is a great deal of discussion In art and antiquarian' circles as to whether J. P. Morgan has secured the greatest of all art treasures or In the vernacular has been “hnnded the most gigantic lemon” on record. Mr. Morgan has paid a fortune for what he has been assured are the gold and silver ecclesiastical vessels of the early Christian church and were burled In the Isle of Cyprus In the seventh century. How long they had been In existence before they were buried can only be guessed at, but It Is known thst Christianity drove out Paganism from the Isle very early In the beginning of the era, so that—on the assumption thst these vessels are authentic—the date of their making would run back 1,804 years or so. The story of the dealers Is thst these sacred vessels were burled when Ihn Moslems Invaded Cyprus and ths faci.i of their discovery do not seem to be exactly understood. Friends of Cornelius Vanderbilt have just learned that his steam yacht, tha North Star, flagship of the New York Yacht Club, with Mr. and Mrs. Van derbilt and their two children, narrowly escaped disaster on a mysterious ob struction which the vessel struck while on her way Into Bar Harbor, Me., on Wednesday night. It was very foggy and the North Star was proceeding under one bell, at quar ter speed. The pilot could not ’’pick up" any of the harbor buoy's and was (••••ling III" way t.. an nni'lmrna- Jar was folt that caused the yacht to tremble from stem to stern. The shock awakened every one below decks. Mr. and Mrs. Vanderbilt ran on deck and the nurses followed with tlielr two children, Cornelius, Jr., and Grace Vanderbilt. The children were crying In fright. The vessel was not seriously Injured, however, and proceeded on her voyage. Wet times are ahead for the planet Venus,-according to Professor Johann Relm, of the royal observatory at Ber lin. Professor Relm, who Is one of Ger many’s greatest meteorologists, de clares that between 780 and 1,170 Inches of rainfall caused tho great flood about 12,000 years ago, and that this down pour marked tho rhango between th* rule nf tliii earth's Internal best and tile heat ot the sun. In support of hit theory' he rails attention to the present condition of Venus, a spectral analysis of which shows the planet surrounded with an atmosphere heavily saturated with moisture. "Thousands of years ago,” he *ay» . "that woe precisely the condition ol this earth. In consequence of the In tense Intcrnnl warmth enough water waa vaporized to form a thick veil of heavy clouds. The sun’s rays could not penetrate this veil of clouds, but there was enough warmth In th* earth to produce a mild climate and rich veg etation. "The moisture soaked atmosphere In creased the atmospheric pressure from three to four times what It Is now, and th* gradual lessening of the heat from tbs earth brought about a lower tem perature. With the colder temperature he lower strata of clouds became too heavy to remain In position, and, ds- spending, caused fearful 1 cloudbursts, causing what Is known as tb* deluge.
