TAKEN INTO CUST0D1 i a raid by soldiers Wednesday night oh a negro house In Hightower street, Just off McDaniel, an officer's sword was found, which Is believed to be the property of Captain E. P. King, of the Fifth Georgia regiment, and which was mysteriously lost a fen- weeks ago. Captain King has seen the sword and Identified it. An Interesting story Is connected with the loss of the weapon. Captain H. T. Anderson, of Madison, borrowed u sword from Captain King recently at the time of the .maneuvers at Chicks - mauga Park. his. sword In some man ner having become misplaced. Captain King readily loaned the sword, as he was not going to the encampment. On his return from Chlckamauga Captain Anderson gave the sword to a negro bicycle messenger, with Instruc tions to deliver It to Captain King, after which he went on to Mndlson. Captain King never received the sword, and about two weeks later wrote to Captain Anderson regarding It. Oi learning that the weapon had dlsap Peared.

Captain King supposed this was the original sword and never knew It had been lost until the recovery of the weapon In the raid of Wednesdi night.

In a recent article I had occasion to call attention to the childish prejudice of foreigners toward American women and their disposition to criticism, all because some of them had overstepped the bounds of European Ideas of pro priety In the female sex. Labored ar ticles are brought forth In defense of their Idiosyncrasies on the subject, but after sifting them thoroughly It Is found, that the aum of offending by American women consists lrr the fact that they are ambitious and are not subservient to the whims of the lords of creation, and that It never occurs to thsm to regard men as superior be ings who must be looked up to with reverence, and with whom they must not dare to discuss any question or en tertain any opinions of their own. They must not essuy to have any knowledge on any subject not acquired from their lords and masters. 0 Ths moral status of society on the .other side of the Atlantic Is lixed by ths men of Europe; women have only to submit In turn to the dictates of the ruler of the realm and the household. The wife of the sovereign Is rarely consulted on any subject. The regula tions governing the fnmlly and tho home ore usually established by the man at the head of the family, with out regard to the pleasure or wishes of the woman of the house, the man selfishly considering his own comfort and convenience of paramount Impor tance. It has been hinted that European women, finding that the women of this country have eo much more considera tion at the hands of ths ablest and most puissant as well as the humblest men In America, have rebelled against the petty tyranny to which they have been subjected. It Is certain that.many of them have ventured, upon.forbidden ground and have:set aside restrictions they once obeyed without question. Thsy claim, that If European men will marry American heiresses and allow them to Introduce American manners and customs, they must expect to wit. ness great changes, through the Ut- fluence of the*® Independent self-rett* ant daughters of a republic where women are treated as full partners in all matrimonial alliances, and art ex pected to share In the responsibilities of rearing their families, and to bs the ronfldantes and advisers of their hus- b *l"' 5 may have been (Jis example set by the Pilgrim Fathers In their devotion and deference to the noble wives and mothers who crosesd the seas with their husbands and sons to share In the dangers and hardshlpsofemlgrat- Ing to a new world which has given the women of this country the exalted positions they have * h „® llrst families landed on nymmitli.

When education and religion were at- a low tide In this country, It was the women who worked the hardest for the estab lishment of schools and churches. There were women In the tlrst anti slavery societies; women In the Union League clubs; In the sanitary commis sions and missionary societies. It was a woman who brought the Red Cross to this country and caused Its adoption by our government. They hove been prime movers In every association ever organized for the uplifting of mankind and the betterment of the world. They nave had a large part, by their wise counsel and devotion to duty. In the heroic deeds which have mads the United States a world power. The women Insist that the men of the nation shall be stalwart giants In tellectually, morally and physically. They despise pygmies, courtiers, weak lings and cowards. There Is no danger of the “effemlnlzatlon" of the men of America; they understand all too wall the standard of nobility which Ameri can women demand. Woman's Influ ence has been exerted to develop and Inspire men to deeds qf daring and to the highest alms and purposes In life. It may be true that the comradeshipe of the men and womert of this free coun try has had a tendency to tame the brute that Is said to be In every man. They may have bridled the appetites of men for dissipation; they may have cured men of the tendency to tyrannise over the weaker sex. It Is to be hoped they have made men less selfish and exacting, but never "effeminate!” Why la It that American men have undertaken and accomplished the most prodigious enterprises all over- ths world and are today suggesting .her culean projects to different nations,-If they are becoming effeminate? Why Is It that In diplomacy, statesmanship, financiering, exploring and planning for the onward march of civilization American men are called Into consulta tion and are considered the ablest ad vlsers? Certain It Is they never recom mend timidity or retrogression, or manifest a lack of manly courage In their convictions. Fsw of them are carpet knights or proficient In the arts of the courier. But In all, ths essentials for the achievement of civilisation they will not be found wanting In culture and equipment. I have witnessed the petty tyranny of men over women In every country on the continent. In Germany I have seen women yoked up with beasts of burden and with dogs, drawing wag ons, carta and ths plough, while the man rode In the cart or followed In the furrows. I have seen In the city of Berlin men loading bags of coal on the backa of women, who carried them up two or three flight* of atalra to apartment!, whll* the men aat down and waited for the women to return and receive the bage until the load had all been carried to.customers. In the same city I have seen natty army of- fleer* walking In the street* with aged women, mayhap their mother*, or with their wives, never deigning to touch the bundles which the women carried. As a rule, American men would not be so heartless. If the In fluence of American women has made men more considerate and more gentle toward their mother*, wlvea and chil dren, they have made them true noble men. destined to attain and maintain a place In the hlgheat rank* of civiliza tion.

If the prevailing fashion can bs worn, so much better for the one who .likes all the new fads, but If not, then modifica tion* of the new coiffures suited to the face should bo adopted. "There I* but one rule that women should observe In arranging their hair, and thnt Is to dress It In a becoming way regardless of sty!*. Make a fash ion that suits the face and not the face to the style. Pretty Features 8pollsd by Poor Hair dressing. I havs seen women with really classic features and pretty coloring ar range their hair In auch a way that they were positively homely, and all because they would wear coiffures In the newest fashion and the style wa* unbecoming. 'If women would be os artistic In ths dressing of thalr hair as they are the selection of their gowns they would not only have to do less plan ning for clothe*, but would undoubted ly be much more attractive, for they would be prettier. "It Is only occasionally that a wo- man reallte* that ths prevailing style does not suit the shape of her face. If she dose not like It at the first dressing she say* It Is because the fashion Is so different from the one she has been accustomed to wearing, snd that when she get* used to It she will think It ss becoming uta other coiffure. And she often adds, it it such a delightful change to have a new style; we get *o tired of wearing the same on* day after day for several months.' "I know of ons woman who always tries every new style that la Introduc ed, but never wear* her hair In a fashion unless It suits her fee*. She has studied her features with all kinds of arrangements of her hair, ao that she can tell almost Immediately wheth er the new modes will be becoming, and If on* makes her face appear too brood or too thin she doe* not even consider It. She declares that by ad justing certain tresses In correct posi tions a woman’s nose, eyes or mouth may be given prominence. The nose may be made to look long or short, while the size of the mouth may be Increased or diminished. With her i hairdressing Is an art, but few per- wlth tha front. "Now, With a large face the Idea In artistic arrangement of the hair Is to relieve It of the effect of bigness, and this Is best accomplished with a round pompadour, provided the hair Is dons low on the neck. In a braid or roll* that show on either side, and In this way relieve the largeness of the fea tures. False Hair for Thin Faces. “If a woman with a long' thin face hasn’t an abundance of hair she should wear false pieces, for there must be plenty of It arranged In some pretty fluffy fashion to take away the effect of lack of flesh. Then, too, there should be plenty of combs In her coif fure; one on either side and a large one In the back, ornamented with the curious ollve-llke decorations that are so smart Just now. "Ths front uf the hair should be a full and high pompadour, with little tendrils fluffed out to give breadth, and the back may be made Into a coronet braid and pulled far forward. "A baby faced woman looks best with her hair parted down the canter or on one.aide and tied with a bow, "It Is understood by the average wo man that's tall one should wear a low' coiffure and a vffiman small In stature a high arrangement. Incidentally, old women ahould never attempt to affect the youthful etylea with the hair colled law, for It Is not in keeping with their faces and detract* from the dignity they should possess. Puffs on the top of the bead dressed to suit the shape of the face should be the style lected. "Women with large end ugly ears are the only ones who saem to give much thought to artistic fashions, and they'are eager about them, because they want to hid* their defects.” Miss Wideman Dies. fiperisl to The Georgian.

J. C. Solomon, superintendent of the Anti-Saloon League. Mr. Solo mon also takes up the probability of u prohibition ticket being put In the field at the next election and Intimates that such action may be taken. His com munication follows; Many favorable expressions have been heard on the streets since the publication of District Superintendent J. B. Richards' article In Wednesday's papers. The people were evidently pleased with what he sold. The fea ture of hla communication, which ap peals to me, and I believe to many thousands os well throughout the dry, was that clause which advocates the doling of barrooms In Atlanta ut 5 o'clock In the afternoon. The blessings which .would flow from such an ordinance would prove a very boon to our city. I believe every good cltlien of Atlanta would thank thu council for the passage lot such an or dinance. Such action would gladden thousands of mothers' hearts In this city of sin and crlpie. Wlvea would also take courage and thank God; chil dren would rejoice and homes would be more peaceful, and here nnd there u patch of heaven would appeur—so great and ao sweet the change. Wives wuuld receive their husbands, mothers their sons and children their' fathers; men and boya would com* home to their loved ones sober nnd happy. "It la a fact thnt men drink more in tho evening than earlier In the day. And not Infrequently It happens that after the day's work Is over men repair to the saloon, where they can meet their'fellows and spend some hours to gether In social drinking. When once a man takes to hla social glass and be gins to spend his evenings In the saloon, he Is going rapidly to his doom. "Close the saloon ut 5 o'clock and men, with rare exceptions, will go home, and go home sober, and ns the matter now stands, saloons closing ut 10, the convivial spirit, the social glass, Ihe love of barroom fellowship too of ten lay hold upon the Impulsive nnd generous soul, snd soon, he Is lost to home, to society, to business, to hope— he is absolutely lost—he Is ruined. "Ye men In authority, 'y* custodians of our civic, as well os our moral Inter ests, close the saloons at 5 and save our young men from the lives of drunk ards and mothers' hearts from break ing, and homes—the mansion as well as the cottage—from desolation.
