London, Nov. 7. —The election in tho
United States has completely over
shadowed all other events during the
week on this side of the water. Eng
lishmen have never been known to take
such an interest in a foieign event, and
the newspapers of this metropolis have
never reported one so fully. In addi
tion to the most voluminous, prompt,
accurate and in every way efficient re
port cabled from New York to the Reu
ter Telegram company, nearly all the
London papers had long special cable
messages on the same subject and pub
lished diagrams and maps in order to
assist in explaining the political situa
tion to their all of which is
having a beneficial effect • here, as it is
teaching Englishmen to know the Uni
ted States better than they have done
the past and to recognize the true
■fvorth and greatness of the country that
have beeiMHiclined to look upon
i in anything but the proper light. The
comic papers published more or less ap
propriate cartoons, and Punch published
one Friday morning showing remarka
ble enterprise for that pictorial periodi
cal in presenting a cartoon by Sauberne
entitled “Columbia’s Choice’’ and show
ing a statue of KcKinley.
Diplomatic circles in Vienna have
been excited and French political circles
have been incensed by the reported ut
terance of the Archduchess Marie Doro
thea of Austria, who was married on
Thursday to the Duke of Orleans, pre
tender to the French throne, made to
25 ladies of the French legitimists’ aris
tocracy, who attended the wedding and
presented the bride with a magnificent
crown of diamonds. In returning thanks
for this gift, the archduchess said, in
French:
"I hope this crown will one day be
placed upon the head of my dear Phil
ippe. If ihit day ever arrives, I shall
know how to second my husband and
do my whole duty.”
Value of L »ii<lon Real Estate.
The value of resident property in
London is exemplified by the award of
£260,050 ($1,300,000) given to Lord
Portman for 14 acres of ground required
by the new Manchester an'. Sheffield
railroad for a site on which to build a
station and hotel, etc. The property
adjoining, 46 acres of the Eyre estate,
for which the same railroad was com
pelled to pay over £300,000 ($l;500,-
' 000).
The Truth this week publishes the de
tails of another of those scandals which
is prone to destroy the tradition that the
Baitish officer is a gentleman. It ap
pears that ju-t before the Twentieth
Hussars went to India, a newly joined
subaltern was taken by his brother offi
cer to the riding school and put on a
bareback horse. The animal was made
to run and the subaltern was whipped
until he fell and injured his knee, after
which he was on the sick list for a
week. The object of this treatment, it
is stated, was to drive the subaltern out
of the regiment. When the latter
reached India it is further said those
practices were kept up; the subaltern
was made to dress in the clothing of his
native servant, to salaam to this ser
vant, to jump into bonfires with his
pajamas on, etc., in order to disgrace
the young officer in the eyes of the na
tives.
- Truth thereupon demands that his
tormentors be tried by courtmartial,
but adds that it does not expect Lord
Wolsely (the commander-in-chief) to
maintain the honor of the queen’s uni
form.
Quite a sensation has been caused in
certain circles by the announcement of
the marriage of Miss Julia Emery, a
pretty girl only 18 years of age, Until
quite recently an assistant in a fancy
dry goods store, at Eastbourn, to Baron
Lyvent, who is ove.r 82 years of age and
a widower, his first wife having been a
daughter of Earl Fitzwilllam. The
baron has no children and his prospec
tive heirs are not at all happy at the
new departure on the part of his lord
*ship.
Kellen Chew in Tobacco.
A writer in The Contemporary Re
view asserts that some of the New York
belles have taken to chewing tobacco,
adding:
“Think of the Venus de Milo biting
off a chunk of plug!”
The election of Edward J. Poynter,
director of the National Gallery, to the
presidency of the Royal Academy was
somewhat of a surprise to the friends of
the other candidates, especially to the.
friends of Mr. Vai Prince, who was
early in the running, and who was sup
posed to be the queen’s choice. The
election of Mr. Poynter, however, has
been favorably received by the press
and in art circles. Although he is not
a great painter, Mr. Poynter is fully
master of those social attainments
which are necessary to make a success
ful president of the Royal Academy.
There is no doubt that the new lord
mayor of London, Mr. A. Faudel-Phil
lips, will signalize his era of office by
great brilliancy. He proposes to com
memorate the queen’s reign by raising
the sum of £1.000,000, ($5,000,000) with
which to free the London public hos
pitals from debt.

A BEAR IN A SCHOOLROOM.
The Teacher and Pupil* Escape, Locking
the Animal In.
Jersey Shore Junction, Pa., Nov.
7.—Au enormous black bear wandered
into the little clearing in which is situ
ated the Brown Township school, in the
wilds of the mountain region of West
Pine creek, and after a survey entered
the schoolroom through a door which
stood ajar and found Miss Lulu Bearer,
a pretty schoolmarm, expounding to a
score of little ones.
The bear's entrance caused great, ter
ror among the little boys and girls and
they rushed out. Miss Bearer also
started for the door followed by the
bear. She dodged around desks and
twice Bruin tumbled in his efforts to
catch her. She gaided the door,
slammed it to and Bruin was a prisoner.
The schoolmarm, after quieting her
little flock, informed two woodsmen,
who were passing, of her capture.
Armed with axes, the men went into
the building, where the bear was bang
ing things about, and succeeded In slay
ing it after a desperate struggle. Tne
bear weighed ov»r 30'J pounds.
Lock* Formally Opened For Traffic.
Portland, Or., Nov. 7.—The locks
at the Cascade of the Columbia have
been formally opened for traffic. The
construction of the locks was begun 18
years ago by the government, but for
many years’ work was allowed to drag
and little was accomplished toward
opening the river. In 1892, congress
placed the work under the contract sys
tem, and the contract was awarded to
J. G. and I. N. Dow of San Francisco.
A number of men prominent in Oregon
California and Washington attended
the opening. The government has ex
pended about $2,500,000 on this work.

Eustis, large produce merchants of this
city.

cent death of Mr. Corbin. The wedding
party drove from North Babylon to the

in six carriages, returning after the cer
emony to the Corbin residence, where a
Wood.ng breakfast was served.
To Hid For New York’* Kondg.
New York, Nov. 7.—The $16,500,000

In the Case of This

Atlanta, Nov. 7.—The senatorial
race is yet the all absorbing topic and
all signs point to the elevation of Gov
ernor Atkinson. Hon. Hal T. Lewis is
clearly second choice. The fight practi
cally closes tonight, as Sunday inter
venes before the caucus on Monday
afternoon.
Governor Atkinaon Talke.
This afternoon he gave out the follow
ing interview:
“I only ask that the rubbish be
brushed away and that the general as
sembly place me upon the same footing
as each of the other candidates, and
consider each man according to bis
merits. I would not ask or accept the
position did I not believe that I was the
choice of a majority of the people of
Georgia.
Governor Atkinson holds as did the
Tribune at the beginning, he says:
“If I am elected to the senate, my
successor as governor can be elected on
December 16, when four supreme court
judges are to be elected by the people.
On that day it will be just as easy for
the people to vote for five men as for
four. The recess of three days already
taken by the general assembly postpones
its adjournment until December 21, and
would enable them to inaugurate the
newly elected governor during the pres
ent session. The election therefore on
t ie day of election of the supreme court
judges would not incur one dollar of ad
ditional cost. ’’
The friends of Hal Lewis are here '
and many favorable comments are ;
made on the manner of his canvass '
and the prediction is that he will be'
elected in the event of Atkinson’s de- •
feat. A small boom was started today I
for Hon. Hoke Smith and his friends
are jubilant, though no expression
has been made by the members cr
senators, for their minds are now
made up and they are pledged to one
or another of the five candidates.
Evans or Berber is the slate for gov
ernor in the event of Atkinson’s ele
vation.
Col. J. W. Robertson, by invitation
of the general assembly, delivered an
address on the issues of the day in the
house of representatives last night.

) The Same... i
' Old Sarsaparilla. >
That’s Ayer’s. The same old f
' sarsaparilla as it was made and J
Ssold by Dr. J. C. Ayer 50 years \
ago. In the laboratory it is f
different. There modern appli- S
C ances lend speed to skill and )
» experience. But the sarsapa- I
. rilla is the same old sarsaparilla J
' that made the record — SO years J
j of cures. Why don’t we better k
Sit? Well, we’re much in the f
condition of the Bishop and the )
raspberry: “ Doubtless, ”he >
said, “ God might have made a f
I better berry. But doubtless, r
also, He never did. ” Why c
don’t we better the sarsaparilla? (
We can’t. We are using the I
same old plant that cured the (
Indians and the Spaniards. It \
has not been bettered. And I
since tee make sarsaparilla com- S
pound out of sarsaparilla plant, S
we see no way of improvement.
Os course, if we were making ,
some secret chemical compound I
i we might.... But we’re not.
I We’re making the same old sar- f
1 saparilla to cure the same old f
< diseases. You can tell it’s the <
f same old sarsaparilla be- I
( cause it works the same old f
' cures. It’s the sovereign blood J
I purifier, and — Ayers. \
for the honor ofthiir invitation, Col.
Robertson spoke in n genera! way of the
duty oi the citizen to take an in.erest in
politicial questions and economic proh
leins affecting the welfare of the coun y.
Since 1865 he had dime so, laboring lu.
the material development and politicial
emancipation of Georgia without the
hope of reward. lu this way he had
earned the title of high private among
the veterans of the old guard.
From this the speaker went into a dis
cussion of politicial principles as exempli
fied by the historic parties which began
with Hamilton and Jefferson. The speech
made a good imnression.
President Berner, of the senate, has
appointed his committees and honored
Senator Wesley Shropshire, of the
Fortv-second district, with the chair
nianship of the special judiciary com
mittee and made him a member of the
committees on pensions, public
schools, library and printing.
Judge Newman, of the United
States court, has been busy hear
ing the case of The American
Security and Trust Co. versus the
Rome Electric Light company, as not
long since a temporary receiver was
appointed for the Electric Light Co.
Hearing was had on the appointment
of a permanent receiver, their coun
sel, Judge Joel Branham and Major
R, T. Fouche, filed a plea of res judi
cata, setting up that Flovd superior
court had settled it. Jr.die Newnan
held that way also. Messrs. Dean &
Dean for the Security company claim
to have additional testimony and affi
davits that would justify a hearing.
Judge Newnan stated that he would
examine them, and if pertinent would
hear them next Saturday.
News reaches here that the stenog
rapher had not completed transcribing
the evidence in the Ryder case for kill
ing Miss Sallie Emma Owens at Tal
botton. 1 Judge Butt continued the
hearing until December 5 and a super
sedeas was issued, deferring the execu
tion, which was to have been on the
24th of November,

THE GKE Vi' ifKVIVAL
l ow In Urogreßß In the Town of Fi rlmont,
Rev Geoige Stewart is On Hand
Piedmont, Ala , Nov, 5. —The tens
meeting at Piedmont, Ala., is drawing
larger crowds, and producing a greater
interest in religious matters than was
e/er known in this section. The tent of
the Rev. R. C. George, of Gadsden, Ala.,
was secured, and erected on the 28 of
October, and service began on the night
of the same date, by Brother George who
continued the services until the 4th of
November, -when he was joined by the
Rev. George R. Stewart. Mr. George’s
preaching has been pointed, forcible and
effective, striking conviction to many o
the large au deuces who have flockid to
hear him. He has handled the crowd
well, and many have been reclaimed and
saved. He is without doubt one of the
evngelists that God calls and honors.
Rev. George R» Stewart is now at
the pilot wheel, and no man, perhaps,
ever knew his “run” better. In fact,
his pulpit power surpasses the expec
tations of those who had heard him
before. He is a born leader in the
army of the Lord, and the immense
concourse of people that are at every
service to hear this wonderful man
are thrilled and electrified as we never
saw men moved before. It would not
be exaggerated to say that he fairly
sways men as the equinox sways and
circles the leaves.
Certainly much credit is d”e the
Rev J. vt atsou Bradford, who, by bis
untiring energy and unswerving faith
has succeeded in getting this meeting
for us Brother Bradford ts one of
the most brilliant young ministers in
ail tlie land, and is doing great work
for Piedmont. God certainly will, and
is honoring his efforts. All denomin
ations are joining heartily in the work
and there is scarcely a person in this
section of the country who is not be
ing touched by the meeting while the
work grows and goes grandly on.
Rev. Sam P. Jones comes tomorrow
and will continue the fight fur several
days.
