THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN.
3,000 ATLANTA HOMES
WITHOUT SERVANTS
Hotels Locked UpTheir
Waiters Saturday For
Protection.
When It cbmes to servant problemii
In the acute and concrete stage, Sun*
. day In Atlanta set a standard hard to
duplicate.
It Is estimated that at least 3,000
h' inca were servantless and that in as
many more the cooks and house serv
ants were kept on the place, and In
dozens of business houses where
negroes are employed a soft spot was
found In preference to attempting to
get home.
The spectacle of the young man of
the family peeling the potatoes and the
mater and sisters cooking the meals
was quite the thing Sunday. It was
seen In nearly every home where the
servants had been possessed of suf
ficient nerve or Ignorance to go home
Saturday night.
And warm water, too, became fash
ionable and Ice cream scarce. Unless
a family lived in the central portion
of the city It hnd to go Iceless—or thnt
same young man who peeled the pota
toes had to go to the factory with i
wheelbarrow. At most of the Ice plants
the negro drivers and ice handlers re
ported for work, but they were scared
to go out on the wagons.
Restaurants which had waiters Sat
urday night and wanted them Sunday
were careful to keep them Indoors. The
Aragon Hotel and Silverman's restau
rant locked up their servants and kept
them safe until Sunday—then they
were more fortunate than some of their
competitors snd had their regular help.
The negro messenger boys employed
by the Postal Telegraph people were
kept in the rail room all night.

CABS DESERTED
IN THE STREETS
When the rioters Saturday night be
gan to cease to discriminate beween
Innocent and guilty negroes* In their
wild desire to “kill all of ’em," the cab
service of the city was the first to
•uffer. The night ImVks deserted
their vehicles and left them standing
by the curbs In the uptown streets, or
drove Into the residence district, where
the mob did not venture, and left their
horses to take care of themselves as
beat they knew how. But they knew
how, and moat of them waited patient
ly until a white driver came and got
them.
On Sunday walking or street car rid
ing was popular. The cabbies did not
return to their two-and-four wheelers,
but stayed at home or Joined the army
of negroes which left AtIMnta.
The hacks, however, were not the
only vehicles divested of their negro
drivers. The hotel baggage wagons
suffered Jhe same fate und on Sunday
white attaches were mounted on the
high seats.

Do YourJMs Fit?
Do You Feel Snug end Comfortable
Around Your Waist Line After
a Hesrty Meal.
Did your fast meal taste deliciously
good to you, and did you eat all you
wanted? Could you have patted your
rotundity In glee and felt proud of your
appetite nnd of your good strong stom
ach?* Do you feel rosy now because
your last meal gave you no Inconven
ience whatever? If not, you have dys
pepsia In some form, and probably
never realized It.
If you have the least trouble In your
Stomach after eating, no matter bow
little or how much you eat, there Is
trouble brewing and you must correct
It at once.
Most all stomach troubles come from
poor, weak, scanty gastric Juice, that
precious liquid which ought to turn
your food Into rich, red blood.
If you have nausea, your gastric
Juice Is weak. If you have sour risings
or belching*, your food Is fermenting;
your gastric Juice Is weak. If you have
loss of appetite, your gastric Juice Is
weak. If you have a hloaty feeling of
aversion to food, your gastric Juice Is
weak.
Tou need something In your stomach
to supply the gastric Juice which Is
scanty, and to give power to the weak
gastric Juice. Stuart's DyUpepsla Tab
lets do this very thing.
Now /think—one grain of one of the
Ingredients of these wonderful little
tablets digests 3.000 grain?* of food.
They are several times more powerful
than the gastric Juice in a good, strong,
powerful stomach. They actually di
gest your food for you. Besides, they
inereuse the Jlow of gastric Juice, Just
what you need to get all the good pos-
■lble out of everything you eat. You
will never have thnt “lump of lead" in
your stomach nor any other stomach
“Wonderland.”
One of the best attractions of the
season nnd one that should draw Im
mense audiences to the Grand, will be
presented Monday night and Tuesday
night, with matinee Tuesday afternoon.
“Wonderland” Is a most pretentious
spectacle. The book and lyrics are by
Ulen MacDonough. The music Is by
Victor Herbert. Julian Mitchell* has
aptly been called "the wizard of stage
effects," and Is the producer. Joseph
M. Unites is the manager. Little Chip
and Mary Marble are the principal fun-
makers of u company of over sixty
people.
“Wonderland” Is a fairy tale told by
clever comedian« surrounded by a host
of pretty girls elnd In brilliant raiment
and costly vestments of silk and satin,
moving through a long series of beauti
ful stage pictures.
Two car loads of scenery and stage
effects are carried to properly stage the
production, which Is said to be one of
the most gorgeous affairs ever sent on
the road.
Tho same cast which appeared for
an entire season at the Majestic theu-
ter In New York will appear here.
“The Toast of tho Town,”
Mr. Fitch has written a strong ploy
In “The Toast of the Town,” which
will be presented Wednesday nnd
Thursday at the Grand, by Jane Ken-
nark and a splendid company.
The story of the play Is that of Bet
ty Singleton, the London actress, who
married the Duke of Molumbury, only
to find herself discarded for other fa
vorites, shnmed and abused after bear
ing bis drunken debauchery for a year,
ah® leaves him. He seeks her at the
end of another year and offers her a
share of his home and gives proof that
he Is a regenerated man. She, loving
him, despite his treatment of her, de
clines to enter his home until he can
give her a place In his heart. She con
ceives the Idea that he loves another,
his cousin, nnd In order to give him an
excuse fur divorcing her and gaining
his own happiness, she cheats him with
a story of her wrong-doing and goes
away to hide in London. There In the
last act he finds her and gives his
heart, for which she Is starving. In
her support Miss Kennark bus secured
most excellent company.
“How Baxter Butted In.”
“How Baxter Butted In" Is the name
of the new melo-drama tic comedy by
Owen Davis that will be produced this
week at the Bijou. This piny Is said to
he one of the absolute novelties of the
season, uniting ns It <1oe**the popular
features of hlgh-rlass comedy, nnd
strong domestic drama. The story of
how "Baxter," an up-to-date commer
cial traveler, “butts In” and spoils the
attempt of u country shyster to rob and
disgrace a defenseless village girl Is
the foundation of the play. Baxter at
length Is successful In his efforts to de
feat this young girl’s enemies, nnd nil
ends happily. The “Baxter" of the
play will he Intrusted to the capable
hands of Mr. Sidney Toler and admir
ers of this popular young actor are
sure of seeing him at his best. Some
remarkable scenic features are pre-
seated, the chief of which represents
an apple orchard and <Juck pond, nnd
Is said to be one of the most elnborntc
rural stage pictures ever attempted
The part of “Hilly Baxter,” the genial,
manly and witty "good fellow," Is a
character entirely new to the stage and
Is a welcome relief from the stereo
typed brand of stage heroes.
Saratoga, N. Y., Sept. 24.—On tho eve
of tho state Republican convention the
delegates are all at sea, but one thing
seems settled, and that is Governor
Higgins will not be a candidate for
renomlnntlon. There Is no doubt that
he can have the nomination If he signi
fies his desire for It, and he has prom
ised to make hls wishes known today.
Woodruff, Parsons, O'Brien, Ward,
Griener, Kranchol, Hendricks, Aldridge
and Barnes are all here, but they can
not forecast what Is going to happen.
Slates are made only to be broken.
Platt is not here, nnd this is the first
state convention since 1800 that he has
missed. Senator Depew's absence Is
commented upon today. He has attend
ed every state convention In tho last
forty years.
Odell's hand has been shown.In the
launching of a boom for Hughes, but
the most talked of candidates In the
event of Higgins' withdrawal, are
Woodruff nnd Bruce. Woodruff, how
ever, Is ambitious to go to the United
States senate, and this may leave tho
way open for Bruce, who would be ac
ceptable to oyster Bay.
The platform. It Is understood, will
unreservedly Indorse the administra
tion of the president and Governor Hig
gins.
Much Depends on Action of
the Tammany Hall
Delegates.
Buffalo, N. Y„ Sept. 24.—As the hour
approaches for the' opening of the
Democratic state convention, Buffalo Is
rapidly filling with visitors from many
states who believe they perceive In the
action of the convention tomorrow a
political revolution whldl will affect
the nation.
Belief is growing in some quarters
that William Randolph Hearst will be
the candidate named to head the ticket,
although friends of District Attorney
Jerome and Justice Gaynor are very
active.
George W. Batten, Democratic state
committeeman, of Niagara; Frank W.
Brown, Democratic state committee
man, of Wyoming; Frank H. Mott, of
Chautauqua, Democratic state com
mitteeman; James O. Bennett, of Chau
tauqua; W. E. Murphy, chairman of
the Orleans county Democratic com
mittee; Charles P. Bacon, of New
York, nnd a score of other prominent
Democrats, are busy receiving dele
gates at the headquarters of William
J. Conners at the Iroquois.
There are good evidences that every
power of the Rj-an-Sheehan-Belmont
ring la being brought into play In an
effort to defeat Hearst*
Much, It Is believed, depends upon
the action of Charles F. Murphy. It
Is believed by those close to Tammany
that the greater proportion of them
111 throw their Influence to Hearst.

HARDWARE COMPANIES
SELL OUT OF FIRE ARMS
Since the rioting began Saturday
night the Anderson Hardware Compa
ny, at the corner of Kdgewood avenue
and Peachtree street, has sold out Its
entire stock of pistols, except a few
very cheap and a few very high-priced
weupons. The stock consisted of
about 400 pistols of various makes and
sizes, and none, of these were sold to
negroes.
Besides this unprecedented sale of
small arms more than too rifles have
been sold to white people only, and on
Monday n crowd was about the door all
morning trying to buy firearms and
ammunition. This had been forbidden
by the authorities, however, and noth
ing to shoot with was obtainable.
The clerks of this store worked until
dnyllght Sunday morning nnd most of
the day Sunday selling guns and pis
tols for the protection of the homes of
Atlantans.
No one Wua prepared for the situa
tion, and most of the smaller dealers
and pawn shops had sold out before the
trouble began to brew In earnest.

coming car/brought Its quota to swell
the mob. Most of these late arrivals
were armed. Many were men who came
to the city fearing an uprising of ne
groes, and who Joined the mob without
taking a hand In the uctual violence.
There were thousands swept along by
curiosity and with no Intention of crime
who added by their mere presence to - -
the ferocity of the mob lender*, who noldatown, from Copenhtll, the Stnnd-

were kept busy.
Humors From 8utfurbs.
From the suburbs came most of the
rumors. Early In the afternoon a squad
of police was hurried to a point fur out
on Marietta street, where a mob had
attacked several negroes. The patrol
wagon returned with one victim, beaten
and left for dead, but he soon recovered

Havana, Sept. 24.—All is In readiness
to land a force of 3,500 marines and
blue jackets In Havana, fully equip pod
for active service, within two hours.
Whether or not they will be landed de
pends upon the devolpments within the
next few days. Tents and stores al
ready have been put ashore.
The feeling this morning that both
sides would submit the trouble to ar
bitration of the American commission
ers without reservation Is not so san
gulne as it was yesterday. The rebel
field leaders, I learn, are inclined
Insist on assurances that there will be
new election, which assurance Mr.
Taft declines to give. He refused to
day to discuss the situation.
Messrs. Taft nnd Bacon held a con
ference today with Jose Miguel Gomez,
Juan Gualberto Gomez, Pclayo Gar
cia, Senator Oazo, Demetrlo Castillo,
Jesus Monteagudo, Carlos Garcia and
Alfredo Zayas, representing the mal
contents, after which It Is possible they
will be ready to make some announce
I ment.
It is regarded as significant that Mr.
Taft, when the diplomatic corps called
on him Informally, called their atten
tion to the fact that the United States
Intended to restore and maintain order
In Cuba and asked their assistance to
the extent of keeping him Informed of
any matters of Interest. It Is the gen
erally expressed opinion of the diplo
matic corps that nothing short of
American Intervention will restore and
maintain order.
Colonel Avalos, with 600 government
troops, with machine guns, arrived at
GuannJay at 11 o'clock yesterday morn
ing, having marched from Candelaria
on the way to Havana from Plnar del
Rio.
If they march to Havana they will
come into direct contact with General
Pino Guerra’s troops, who are
camped on the road leading from
Guanajay to the capital.
General Guerra Informed Senator
Zayas that unless CQlonel Avalos Is
halted a fight will ensue. Senator
Zayas Informed Mr. Taft, who told the
reporters last night that stories of the
danger of a clash between the rebels
and tho government troops had reached
him. He added that he had received
complaints of bad faith from both
sides. He had sifted these and found
them groundless.
It Is stated that Colonel Avalos will
proceed no further than Guanajay.

nglneil themselves supported by

With the late Incoming street cars
additional horrors occurred. Every car
brought a number of negr-.es returning
from the outskirts, nnd these were
greeted with yells of glee by the riot
ers. Every negro—woman as well as
man—was dragged from the cars and
brutally beaten. If the street car com
pany could have been warned In time
not to bring negroes to the city some
of the assaults might have been avert
ed. But the negroes were brought at
rapid Intervals into the heart of the
disorder.
Mayor Tries to Quiet Mobs.
It was Mayor Woodward himself
who turned in the fire alarm. He had
mounted a dry; goods box In Decatur
street and begged the rioters to dis
perse, but they returned, him only Jeers
and boots. lie Jumped from hls ros
trum and-ran to the fire alarm box at
Ivy and Decatur streets. When the
companies arrived Mayor Woodward
ordered the hose turned on the crowd.
When 2 o'clock had struck from the
city clocks the uptown streets were
quiet again nnd but for rumors of riot
ing In the suburbs It api>eured that
the misrule of a night was over, thn^
the mob had spent Its temper In
tramping over the streets und the
morning might bring peace. But the
next day was Sunday, when the class
that makes u mob has no occupation
but to throng the streets. The idleness
brought Its results In a day of scat
tered riots and n night of fear.
When early risers hurried to the
downtown streets Sunday morning
they expected to find a scene of wreck
age und turmoil. Instead they found
a dulet city with no traces of the sat
urnalia of the night before. All that
attracted attention was the soldiery In
khaki who patrolled the streets and
nodded pleasantly to friends who
passed.
Soldiers In Marietta Street.
Mnrtetta street was the center of the
military. Here several companies were
marshaled, some with rifles stacked.und
blankets piled In heaps, while others
marching from point to point.
Home sleepy detachments, wearied # from
a restless night, were sleeping on the
asphalt. Colonel Clifford Anderson,
Adjutant Burton Smith nnd other of-
leers conferred on the duties of the
lay.
The military, ordered to the streets
[i* prevent a repetition of the scenes
>f the night before, served to draw
almost as Mg a crowd as that which
made Marietta street a devil’s carnival
a few hours earlier. But It was a dif
ferent type of crowd, curious, orderly,
indignant at the lawlessness of the
night. Home of the strollers objected
vigorously w hen ordered t«» move on.
some protested against being ordered i
off their own streets by men In uni
form, but no resistance to the troops j
was offered.
Through the morning hours the city
was quiet, but for occasional reports of
attacks on stray negroes in the sub- I
urbs. But as the afternoon wore on safe.
'ompany's plant,
West Peachtree place, from Whltter
Mills, from far out Whitehall street,
came repeated calls for protection.
When militia nnd police responded
these rumors were found to be exag
gerated, though there were many cases
of attacks on negroes by small crowds
of men.
Beports of negro outrages came thick
and fast, but little could be discovered
after Investigation. The negroes were
not free from crime, however, for there
were many Instances where passing
street cars were fired upon and others
were greeted with a hnil of stones
while passing through negro localities.
It was necessary to withdraw all cars
from the Pittsburg, Jftburn avenue and
Houston street lines long before mid
night.
From Pittsburg, the scene of the no
torlous riots of three years ago, came
the worst reports. Repeated rumors of
enormous mobs were received at news
paper offices. At midnight It was said
that negroes had murdered a young
white girl there and In the fight that
followed the militia had killed 200
blacks, while four soldiers had been
shot. Colonel Anderson received a re
port a few moments later that all was
quiet at Pittsburg and there had been
no disorder worth mentioning.
Saloons Are Closed.
Eihiy In the afternoon the police
board held a meeting at headquarters.
Mayor Woodward announced that he
hml ordered every saloon to remain
closed until farther orders nnd had In
structed pawnshops and hardware
houses to refuse to sell weapons of any
kind. All who tried to buy pistols Sun
day were refused until they could ob
tain an order from the military author
ities. Many men tried to purchase
weaiwms for the protection of their
homes.
Fire aft Kirkpatrick Home,
o'clock a fire alarm was turned
In and the home of \V\ W. Kirkpatrick,
'a pi to! avenue, was found In
flames. Two negroes had been dis
charged that day by Mr. Kirkpatrick,
and when the fire was extinguished
It was found that the walls had been
saturated with kerosene. Several oth
er abirmes followed and Incendiarism
was feared, but no conflagration fol
lowed.
At midnight the Governor’s Horse
Guards, which had patrolled the suburb
an streets, returned to r»pdrt that
everything was quiet and the situation
well in hand. From every section of
the city reports from police and mili
tary confirmed the impression that no
more trouble would follow. The sol
diers in the uptown streets stretched
themselves up»n the pavement for an
hour or two of rest, and save for the
pickets on their bents* there was' no
movement by the troops. In Decatur
street there was no sign of life, save
for a few patrolmen. No Sunday night
since Decatur became the haunt of
vide 1ms been marked by such abso
lute quiet, A few shots echoed from
various parts of the city after mid
night, but these marked the last of the
rioting. Atlanta slept, restlessly but

FAMILY RUNT.
“Coffee ha. been need in our family
of eleven—father, mother, live .on. and
four daughter.—for thirty year*; I am
the elde.t of the boy. and have always
been considered the runt of the family
and a coffee toper.
"I continued to drink It for year,
until I grew to be a man, and then I
found I had stomach trouble, nervous
headaches, poor circulation, was unable
to do a full day's work, took medicine
for this, that, and the other thing, with
out the least benefit. In fact, I only
weighed 116 when I was 28.
Then 1 changed from coffee to Pos-
tum, being the first one In our faintly
to do so. «I noticed, as did the rest of
the family, that I was surely gaining
strehgth and flesh. Shortly after I was
visiting my cousin, who sa/d: 'You
look so much better—you’re getting
fat.'
'At breakfast bis wife passed me a
large-sited cup of coffee, as she knew I
was always such a coffee drinker, but I
said. 'Xo. thank you.'
'What!' said my cousin, 'you quit
coffee? What do you drink?'
Postum,' I said, 'or water, and I
am well.' They did not know what
Postum was. but my cousin had stom
ach trouble nnd could not sleep at night
front drinking a large cup of coffee
three times a day. Ho was glad to
learn about Postum ,but said he never
knew coffee hurt anyone.
"After understanding m.v condition
and how I got well he knew what to
do for himself. He discovered that
coffee was the coubc of hls trouble, as
he never used tobacco or anything else
of the kind. You should now see the
change In him. We both believe that
If persons who suffer from coffee drink

could build back to health and happi

Gainesville, Ga„ Sept. 34.—Sheriff W.
A. Crow left on the Air Line Belle
train at 7:12 o'clock this morning Mr
Atlanta with Fred Hawkins, who was
last Thursday convicted In Hall su
perior court of the assassination of
Henry E. Cagle and sentenced to a life
term In the penitentiary. Hawkins was
removed to the Fulton county Jail for
safe-keeping on the order of Judge J.
J. Klmsey, before whom Hawkins was
tried. It Is not known what actuated
the presiding Judge In having Haw
kins carried to Atlanta, as there have
been no threats of violence. The or
der came to Sheriff Crow last even
ing. Immediately upon the announce
ment of the verdict of the Jury In the
court room last Thursday notice of a
motion for a new trial was filed by
Hawkins' attorneys, and Judge Kira-
sey set the hearing an the motion for
October 22, when he will hold a special
term of the superior court.
This term of the court Is held pri
marily for the purpose of trying the
case of the state vs. Jim Reed, who
Is charged with the murder of Hoke
Hunt, eon of Dr. A. W. Hunt, of Flow
ery Branch. Reed tvaa tried at the
July term of Hali superior court, but
the Jury could not agree upon a ver
dict and a mistrial was ordered. Reed
is anxious for another trial, and It Is
for this purpose that Judge Klmsey
will hold the term In October. W
Negroes Were Forced
to Get Off Cars by
Car Inspectors.
• Sunday night was quiet—compare-
tlvely. But there was trouble, and
there were alarms, some false, gome
real.
The entire cjty Jay awake In ex-
pcctation of trouble of greater serl-
ousness than had developed even at the
height of Saturday night’s orgy of
lust for blood.
Cars filled with white men and wo.
men were summarily held up at varl-
ous points by fragments of the mob
and were searched for negroes, Just as
on Saturday night.
One of the most exciting of the af
fairs of this sort occurred at the cor
ner of Whitehall and Humphries streets
at 8:30 o’clock. A Whitehall and West
End car. going at full tilt down grade
was confronted by fifty or more armed
men and boys and was ordered to halt
The motorman slung on hls brakes and
cut off hls current, hut before the car
had stopped the gang made a rush f ( >r
It. It was met by the conductor, with
drawn revolver, and Luther Z. Rosser
-with sighted Winchester. The mob
lost Its ardor immediately and fell
away.
At the corner of Lee nnd Park streets
In West End a squad of militia and In
spectors of the Georgia Railway and
Electric Company were stationed all of
Sunday night und stopped every Incom
ing car with negroes aboard. The
negroes were told that It was taking
their lives In their hands to attempt to
go Into town, and were forced to leave
the cars and take to the woods.
The mob remained In the neighbor
hood of Whitehall and Humphries
streets until a late hour at night. For
