X * - A GREAT INVENTION. . Atlanta cttlxena now have the op portunity oC securing in thetr own city the most.wonderful Idea of lighting by gas In the shape of an "Inverted” light (Just recently , patented), which Is at tached to ordinary fixtures. It Is being demonstrated and aold at the Kent XJgbt Mouse In their n*.w quarters. In the Y. M. C. A. building. North Pryor street. Mr. A. II.. Kent, the originator , of the Kent Light House here, Is well known In' Atlanta and lias' devoted a great deal of attention to the pew field . of Incandescent gas lighting and Ima ‘developed a large business In the sale ‘of gas lights and supplies—always en deavoring to furnish goods of the very best quality. He Is being assisted this season by hie. brother,.H. W. Kent, who has had years of experience In New York nnd vicinity In this department of gsa lighting and Is an expert on incan- descent gas lights. Any one Interested In Improved and economical gas lighting should call at the new store and see the window dis play of lights from I to 7 p. in. It appears that before he goea out of office Mayor Woodward will be able to scrape together enough cash to help a good deal In paying oft that 810,000. which he doesn't want to carry over for Chief Joyner to settle when he takes the mayor's chair. After the decision of the supreme court that the Vlrglnla-Carollna Chem teal Company owed the county 818,- 000 on notes and accounts, and the payment of this amount to the county this week. Mayor Woodward decided that the city had $25,000 coming trom the same source and directed City Tax investigator Sledge Collier to take steps toward collecting the money. And that Is not all. The mayor Is going after other people, who owe the city money for the same reason. “A lot of people and corporations only report for taxation such nots and accounts as they are caught with,” said hr, Thursday morning. Acting on the decision of the courts that such assets are the same as money, an ef fort will be made to get the city's share. „ Another source from which he ex pects to derive sort* revenue for the city Is on forfeitures on contractors' bonds, as stated In The Georgian a few days ago. Oliver & Company, who have the contract for the building of the north approach to the Washington street viaduct at $80,190, and Grant Wilkins, who has the contract for the south ap proach and the steel work over tile railroad yards at $06,181), provide In their bonds for the forfeiture of 850 per day for every day'e delay In tha completion of their work after De cember 1. ... . . it is probable that they will not be through by the date speclfled and some cash will therefore come from that source. In addition to this some sewer contractors have fallen down on their work and the city will proceed against their bondsmen. The city ha* already appropriated $60,000 for the viaduct work, the rail road Is responsible for $57,000, and the mayor has agreed that If the finance committee can rake together $19,$.o for the payment of the rest of the contract price he will agree to let go over the remainder of the $40,000 his administration owes. It appears that with the additional sources of. revenue mentioned above, which were not counted on by the committee, they will he able to meet the demand of the chief executive of the city without cramping-any'of the department’s. COURSE OF STUDIES FOR THE HEW SCHOOLS A heap big Injun with a.heap big lot of Atlanta Are water aboard created a lively scene at the fair grounds Wed nesday night, the sequel being enacted Thursday morning before Recorder Broyles.

Several such conferences will be nec essary before the curriculum Is defi nitely and finally determined. In .tills the state Is particularly fortunate In having the services of Professor Cros by. whoso life work has been along this line. the United States government. He dla- played his displeasure to such an ex tent that Judge Broyles had to Anally threaten to double his fine. * An Educated Indian. Eagle Eye appears highly educated and made an Intelligent and straight forward statement to the court. .He said his home I* In Fort Thomas,, In dian Territory, and that he Is a grad uate of the Carlisle School, one of his attainments being his ability to speak six different languages. He also stated that he played left field on the Carlisle baseball team during the season of 1891. Eagle Eye was also a great favorite with Geranium, the celebrated Apache chief, 'and for a long while acted aa his Interpreter. At the close of court Eagle Eye, In relating his story, broke down and wept, declaring he was a "gentleman” and felt disgraced at being ronflned behind the bars. He said he was "broke" and had no money wkh Which to pay his fine. Judge Broyles directed that the de tective department Investigate and as certain who sold the Indian the liquor. The sale of Intoxicants to an Indian Is a violation of the Federal laws.

Rockefeller, given In 1898 in the litigation against the Standard OH trust, before the su preme court'of the state, was admit ted and carefully read to the jury. Mrs. Ida M. Butts, the first witness of the trial, was then called to the stand.
