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,” Everv> nly Stys So.

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 eases. —Curry-Arrington Co. 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.

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. ” BUCKLEN’B ARNICA BALVE.
