COL. GLENN’S IDEAS
The Noted Atlanta Lawyer Talks about
European Trip.
ITALIAN SKIES AND SCENERY
♦
He, Also, Ha» a Word About Flanagan
and Mrs. Nobles—Some Interesting
Observation Which He Made.
Colonel W. C. Glenn returned to At
lanta last night after a delightful trip
to southern Europe. His friends
throughout the state will be pleased to
learn that he has entirely regained his
health, and in fact that he is in 'perfect
physical condition.
Most of the time was spent by the
colonel in Italy, and he talks interest
ingly of that country.
One of the first tasks which he will
undertake will be to save the life of Mrs,
Nobles.
* ‘The supreme court decided the No
bles case while I was away,” he said,
“but we will find some other way to
keep her from hanging. ”
Colonel Glenn stated he greatly ap
preciated the courtesy [of the supreme
court in postponingCthe Flanagan case,
and that he would be ready to argue it
when it was reached next month.
Talks of His iTrip.
In speaking of his trip to an Atlanta
Journal reporter, he'said:
‘*l did not ‘do’ things in the Ameri
can way. My object was not to see
things, but to get rested. Most of my
time was spent in Naples, Florence and
Rome. I was in Florence longer than
in the other places, and found a great
gtany Americans there.
"The first thing that impressed me in
Italy was the absence of any national
sentiment. The country is divided into
-cliques, who have no sympathy for each
other, and I return with a greater re
spect for our government.
“Another thing that impressed me!
was the all pervading character of the !
taxation. Half a man’s life in Italy is
spent in dodging the tax collectors. We
think we know something about that
in this country, but we are children in
the art compared to the Italians.
* ‘The burdensome taxation is necessi-
tated by the large army and navy, which
has to be maintained according to the
terms of the triple alliance. Italy’s pub
lic debt is larger than that of the United
States ever was. ,
“As an example of the government’s |
methods take the action in regard to
salt. A very heavy tax was placed on
salt, and to avoid this, the people began
evaporating sea water. An edict was
then issued to prevent them from taking
water out of the sea. ’ ’
In speaking of the Italian scenery
Colonel Glenn said there was nothing
like it in this country. Many of the
views, he said, seemed like sky cameos
beaufully chiseled out.
A European Railway.
“The Mediterranean railway which
is the main connection between Calais
and Rome, travels through a very pretty
country. The Mediterranean express is
the best in Italy and something like
our American trains though not so fast, i
The way is a succession of tunnels and
bright open spaces which are marvel
ously beautiful.
“One sees reminders of the past in the
hawks’ nests of the barons of old sta
tioned in crags or any vantage point
from which they could sweep down on
the merchants.’ ’
Colonel Glenn thinks the church of
doctors
are like owls.
gjfffii- They look
. Wly er". y..gagk a wise and talk
wise but they
don’t think.
In diagnosing
disease they
don’t go back
to the starting
K point. When
a nian gets
sick, nine
times out of
ten his
‘“’dent sickness
is only a
symptom of some hidden and long-neg
lected disorder. Most frequently the origi
nal and exciting trouble is a disordered di
gestion. If that is corrected nature will in
the majority of cases do the rest. It is easy
for a man to avoid sickness if he will keep
a watchful eye on his digestion and resort
to the right remedy the moment he feels
himself out of sorts.
. All disorders of the digestion are corrected
by Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery.
It restores lost appetite, invigorates the
liver, and fills the blood with the life-giving
~.. elements that build healthy flesh and firm
’ muscles. It is the great blood-maker, flesh
builder, and nerve tonic. It cures 98 per
cent, of all cases of consumption. It cures
wasting diseases and nervous troubles.
It wards off disease of every description.
Buy “Golden Medical Discovery” of re
liable dealers ; with tricky ones, something
else that pays them better will probably be
offered as “just as good.” Perhaps it is for
them; but it can’t be for you.
“My wife has found great help from Doctor
Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery, as, when she
takes cold from any cause it generally settles on
her lungs,” writes E. James,of Box 281, Brooklyn,
Cuyahoga Co., Ohio. “The ‘Favorite Prescrip
tion 'we keep on hand all the time. It is a won
clerful medicine. My wife has great faith in it.
By being careful in the way we live and by using
Dr. Pierce’s medicines when we don’t feel just
right, we have had to call in a doctor but once in
fifteen years."
A man can’t either make money or enjoy
life who suffers from headaches, and sleep
lessness, and heart-bum. These troubles
are caused by constipation. Dr. Pierce’s
Pleasant Pellets are a sure, safe, speedy and
permanent cure for constipation. They are
tiny, sugar-coated granules. One little
“Pellet” is a gentle laxative, and two a
mild cathartic. They never gripe. Dis
honest druggists sometimes try to substi
tute inferior articles for the sake of profit.
Rome has lost its hold upon the Italians.
He says the educated Italian of today is
a skeptic.
The ruin and decay of many of the
famous structures in the small Italian
towns impressed him, as did the mod
ern and “up-to date” character of the
buildings in “New” Rome.
The homeward journey was a little
lengthened by a storm at sea. The cap
tain said it did not amount to anything,
but the waves swept over the top of the
hurricane deck and looked rather ap
palling to a landsman.
‘ T wonld have liked to got out and
walked,” said Colonel Glenn, “but the
walking was not good.
He left Genoa on December 8 by the
Hamburg-American liner Normania,
and arrived in New York on the 23d.
“I am glad to get back to America,”
he said. “I have no sympathy for those
cosmopolites I found abroad, half edu
cated people who praise every country
except their own.
“I found Atlanta quite well known,
better known, indeed, than Georgia
Most people I met had heard a great
deal of this city, but did not know any
thing about Georgia, and when I told
them about this state they seemed to
think it was located somewhere in At
lanta. I tried to explain otherwise, but
had to give it up as a bad job,”

SLICK SWINDLING SCHEME.
Two Men Accu.eil of Kobblng a Car and
Then Applying tli.» lord*.
Atlanta, Dec. 27.—The officials of
the Southern railway have unearthed
what appears another gigantic scheme
of railway freight robbery, similar to
that of the famous Bohaunon gang of
Dalton.
H. R. Carter, a prominent citizen of
Brookfield, Fla., and F. A. Herrington
of the same place were arrested there
Friday on the charge of car robbery and
brought to this city. Detectives are
still working on the case, and it is prob
able other arrests may follow.
Carter formerly did business in Brook
wood, Ga., a small station on the South
ern railway, where a boxcar on the
sidetrack was used as a station. On the
night of Aug. 28, this car, supposed to
contain a large order of goods Carter
had bought in Atlanta, was burned. It
is charged that Carter and his assistants
had fired the car themselves, after hav
ing removed the goods. Carter then
filed suit for $3,300 damages.
The railway company suspected some
thing wrong, and assented to the em
ployment of Detective J. W. Connally,
who worked up the cases against the
Bohannon gang. He had portions of
the ashes from the car examined and
found that no goods were in the car
when it burned. Carter later removed
to Florida, where lie opened an estab
lishment in Hernando county. The de
tective followed him, and by getting in
his good graces, secured a position as
clerk in Carter’s store.
There he compared the goods received
with the original invoices, and identified
$2 000 worth of the goods stolen from
the car. Carter and Herrington’s arrest
followed.
J. A. Perkins, of Antiquity, 0., was
for thirty years needlessly tortured
by physicians for the cure of eczema.
He was quickly cured by using De-
Witt’s Witch Hazel Salve the famous
healing salve for piles and skin dis

What Is Style?
The fact that we use the word “style”
in speaking of architecture and sculp
ture, painting and music, dancing, play
acting and cricket, that we can apply it
to the careful achievements of the
housebreaker and the poisoner, and to
the spontaneous animal movements of
the limbs of man or beast, is the noblest
of unconscious tributes to the faculty
of letters. Morals, philosophy and aes
thetic, mood and conviction, creed and
whim, habit, passion and demonstra
tion—what art but the art of literature
admits the entrance of all these and
guards them from the suddenness of
mortality? All style is gesture, the ges
ture of the mind and of the soul. Other
gestures change and flit; this is the ul
timate and enduring revelation of per
sonality.—" Style,” by Walter Raleigh.
How Browning Read Political Matter.
1 have read the newspapers only
through Robert’s eyes. He reads them
in a room sacred from the foot of wom
an. And this is not always satisfactory,
as whenever Robert falls into a state of
disgust with any political party he
throws the whole subject over. Every
now and -then he ignores France alto
gether, and I, who am more tolerant
and more curious, find myself suspend
ed over a hiatus. 1 ask about Thiers'
speech. "Thiers is a rascal,” he says
"I make a point of not reading a word
of Thiers. ” M. Prudhon, then? “Prud
hon is a madman. Who cares for Prud
hon?” The president? “The president
is an ass not worth thinking of. ” And
so we treat of politics.—Letters of Eliz
abeth Barrett Browning.

THE ROME THIBDNE TUESDAY, DECEMBER 28. IBIH
IT IS A SAD STORY.
Ladle* of Tunnel Hill Paator of Church
Pay Miss Van Zandt Trlbnte.
A special from Tunnel Hill to the
Sunday Constitution tolls the sad story
of Miss Van Zandt’s life and death:
Much criticism exists here over the
report of the murder of Miss Van Zandt,
sent out from Dalton.
In that report it was represented
that Miss Van Zandt had fallen from
virtue, through the villainy of Whit
ten, which was true; that he run
away, married- another woman and
returned, which was also true; and
that.Mlss Van Zandt met her death at
the hands of Whitton, because she
desired to regain her ascendancy over
him. which was totally untrue.
Miss Van Zandt was an attractive
member of the Methodist Episcopal
church, south, during the past few
years, and her true character when
she was so foully murdered is best
attested by the action of the ladies of
that church, in the resolutions which
they passed.
Tne Girl’s Pastor Speaks.
Rev. T. E. Davenport, pastor of
the Tunnel Hill Methodist church, in
seconding the action of the good
ladiek says:
"The simple facts as we know them
here are these:
“Newt Whitten had twice before
assaulted the home of Miss Van Zandt
since his marriage and return here
from the West. She had no protec
tor, being the sole dependence of a
father eighty-six years old, partly
deaf and blind. She was advised to
defend herself with a pistol, which
she was trying to do. Tuesday night
was very dark and rainy. No one
knows the details,but Whitten,stand
ing in the yard or on the porch, was
shot in the leg. Miss Van Zandt,
standing in the light of her own door,
a bright target, was shot through the
heart, staggered back to the rocking
chair where she was doing her sewing
and expired immediately.
“It was known by all here that she
was simply defending herself from
the attacks of a drunken man who
had been out of employment some
time and who bad already ruined her
her character and was now dogging
and persecuting and oppressing her.
"The poor bless the name of Miss
Libbie Van Zandt,” said Mr. Daven
port, “the needy will miss her min
istries this winter, the church honors
her virtues, and the pastor’s family
feels keenly her loss, for she had al
ready helped to get things comforta
ble at the parsonage. ”

National Quarantine Hate«.
Washington, Dec. 27. —There is rea
son to believe that earlier action thau
was expected will be had on the subject
of national quarantine regulations. A
delegation from Georgia has been in
Washington during the past week and
had a conre ence with the president. T .t
is reported tnae they received assurances
that the executive would lend his a;d in
having some satisfactory measure en
acted, and it is even said that he will
make it the subject of a message to
congress.
