REGISTERED AT THE POSTOFFICE TN SAVAN NAH AS SECOND-CLASS MAIL MATTER. MONDAY. JULY 2, 1894. France’s New President. M. Casimir-Perier has been elected President of the French Republic. His election was not unexpected. He was an avowed presidential candidate before the assassination of President Carnot, and as soon as President Carnot’s death was an nounced it was thought that fie would be chosen by the national assembly as his successor. He was brought very promi nently before the public a few weeks ago by a ministerial crisis. He was prime minister, and it is believed he permitted a vote against the ministry in order that he might leave hisofficeand be untrammeled in his campaign for president. He made a strong impression upon the republic as the head of the ministry. He displayed both wisdom and courage in dealing with public affairs, and inspired confidence by his willingness to accept responsibility and his success in carrying out his policies. The chief faults attrib uted to him by those who criticise him, are that he is proud and autocratic. It needs a man like him to deal successfully with the turbulent political factions of the re* public. M. Casimir-Perier is still a compara tively young man, being only about 47 years of age. He has, however, dis tinguished himself in war and politics, and his elevation to the presidency has been reached in the regular course of a very successful career. His record justifies the belief* that he will make a good president. He is a man of strong will, and it will not be an easy matter for any faction to induce him to abandon a policy that he has decided upon, tie appears to be lust such a man as France needs at the hdid of her affairs at this |ime. Cutting: Down the Pension Chance. The announcement of Pension Commis sion Lochren the other day that a saving of 8*25,000,000 in the administration of the pension office had been effected during • the last year has been received by the court try with a fedling of profound satisfac tion. The people had beeome alarmed at the enormous increase in the pension btirden under the Harrison administra tion. The increase was* steady and threatened to bankrupt the government. The republicans didn’t seem to cure how great the burden became. Their pur pose was to control the soldier vote, however great the cost might be. Therefore President Harrison’s pension commissioner interpreted the pension laws in away that permitted the placing of thousands of pensioners upon the pension roll that had no right to be there. Demagogy, greed and fraud com bined to rob the government, and the pro test of the taxpayers was unheeded. A great change has taken place under Mr. Cleveland’s administration. No man entitled to a pension is denied one. On the other hand thousands who have en deavored to get on the pension roll with out having a right to be thete have met with defeat. Republican congressmen are now try ing to create a prejudice against the ad ministration of the pension office in the minds of the old soldiers. Only a day or two ago Representative Lacey, of lowa, declared on' the floor of the House that the “southern brigadiers” were using their utmost endeavors to have the pensions of the survivors of the Mexican war increased because these veterans are largely southerners, and were using their power to prevent de serving union veterans of the civil war from getting the pensions to which they are entitled. There is not, of course, any truth in this charge. It is made for one purpose only, and that is to make the union veter ans of the civil war believe that the Dem ocratic party is hostile to them. It is greatly to be regretted that the pension business can’t be separated from politics. If the granting of pensions had been con ducted on strictly business principles the pension burden, instead of being 8160,000,- 000 a year, would, in all probability, be less than 8100,000,000. The veterans of the Mexican war are be ing dealt with fairly, and so are die union veterans of the civil war. All the Cleve land administration aims to do in con nection with pensions is to interpret the pension laws fairly. If applications for pensions are denied it is because the ap plicants have not supported their claim with the testimony that convinces the pension commissioner that they are en titled to a pension. The republicans are on the unpopular ■ide of the pension business. Nothing they can say will convince the country that the commissioner of pensions is not dealing honestly and fairly with the union veterans. All that the people ask in connection with the pension office is that the pension laws shall be adminis tered honestly and conscientiously. They have confidence in Commissioner Loeh ren, and the charge of republican con gressmen that the pension office is being managed so as to prevent the union veterans getting what is due them will find fe w believers outside of hide bound republican partisans. The fact that the annual amount paid out in pensions is about as five times as great as either President Grant or President Garfield thought it would even be is pretty good evidence that the union veterans have no reasonable ground for complaint. The Tariff Conference Committee. Within a day or two the tariff bill will be in the hands of a conference committee. Some of the democraticpapers are insisting that the House shall reject the Senate amendments, and restore the bill to the condition it was when it passed the House. The New York World, par ticularly, administers a great deal of taffy to Representative Wilson, and tells him that he can make a lasting name for himself by insisting that the changes made in the bill by the Senate shall be rejected. In the course of an article entitled “Mr. Wilson’s opportunity,” ,it says: Mr. Wilson’s position as chairman of the committee on ways and means will make him the leader of the House con ferees on the tariff bill. It is fortunate for the country, for the Democratic party and for Mr. Wilson himself that this is the case. Mr. Wilson is a tariff reformer who believes in a reform that reforms. With a scholar’s and a stateman’s knowl edge of the subject he has that rarer gift, the courage of his convictions —the dar ing of his duty. Mr. Wilson believes, likewise, that a party’s solemn pledges are made to be kept, not simply to gain votes. * *■ * * ® * * The Wilson bill was constructed throughout upon Democratic reform lines. If the duties were not lowered as much in some schedules as the ardent re formers had hoped—if the bill was really a strongly protective measure—it was due to the fact that Mr. Wilson and his associates recognized the obligations im posed upon them by the treasury needs and the depressed condition of business. But it was an honest bill, promising sub stantial relief to the consumers of the country. The bill as it will come back to him from the senate is a very different meas use. It is tainted with jobbery and armed for robbery. It is a new “tariff of abomi nations”—McKinleyism with tbe thinnest veneering of reform. Its rates have been dictated by greedy trusts or imposed at the behest of senatorial agents of odious monopolies. The issue thus raised will give to Chairman Wilson the greatest opportunity of his life. The World seems to forget that Mr. Wilson is, to a very great extent, respon sible for the changes that have been made in the bill by the Senate. The bill, when it left the House, was defective in two very important respects, namely, it did not provide a sufficient revenue for the needs of the government, and sugar was on the free list. Mr. Wilson knew, and so did every other democrat in the House know, that the bill in that shape had no dhance of becoming a law. The very first duty of the House in the matter of, the tariff was to frame a bill that would afford the government a sufficient reve nue. When it failed to do that it opened the way for the Senate to make what ever changes it thought advisable. If the Senate had accepted the House bill without changes what would have been the consequence? Why, either the House would have had to amend its own meas ure before permitting it to become a law, or congress would have been forced to 'pass a supplemental bill to raise revenue. Again, it would have been the worst kind of a mistake to put sugar on the free list after having repealed the sugar bounty. Legislation of that kind would have ruined the entire sugar planting in terest of the country. It is doubtful if any considerable number of the demo crats of the House expected that the House’s action in respect to sugar would stand. In order to get rid of a trouble some matter quickly the House sent the bill to the Senate in an unfinished state, and claimed the credit for having passed a genuine tariff reform bill. We do not know what action the House will tlike on the Senate amendments, but it Is certain that it is not entitled to very much credit for the bill it sent to the Senate. Mr. Wilson’s chances of winning fame are in the direction of getting the bill to the President as, quickly as possi ble rather than insisting that the bill shall be restored to the shape in which it was when it passed the House. There is no doubt that the Senate has added ob jections! features to it, some of which will doubtless be changed, but the coun try is in no frame of mind to have the bill fought over a month or two in the con ference committee. Getting Ready for the Campaign. The democratic leaders of the state ap preciate the importance of beginning.the gubernatorial campaign as soon as possi ble. The state executive and the cam paign committees, which have been called to meet at Atlanta on July 10, will map out the work to be done before the meeting of the state convention. A good deal of effective work can be done before the nominations are made. It is well un derstood who the nominee for governor will be, and it is also pretty well deter mined who will be nominated for the other positions on the ticket. There is no good reason therefore why the campaign should not be begun at once. The campaign committee of the popu lists has already decided upon its plan of action, and Judge Hines has taken the stump. He will have the assistance donbtless of all the oratorical talent within the ranks of the populists. The purpose of the populists is to make an earnest and an aggressive campaign. It is not supposed for a moment that they hope to carry the state. What they aim to do probably is to make a better showing than they did two years ago. They will fail in that aim if the demo cratic campaign is conducted with vigor and skill. It is a matter of great importance that capable men shall be placed in charge of the campaign. There is no reason why serious mistakes should be made, and they will not be -aae if care is exercised in selecting the executive and campaign committees. Only those should be placed upon these committees who are willing to devote a good deal of time to campaign work, and who are desirous of having the Democratic party win by an old time ma jority. There is much work to be done. In some parts of the state there is dissatis faction with Mr. Atkinson, and it is re ported that . good democrats de clare that they will not vote for him. All such democrats must be made to see that it is their duty to support the ticket of their party. Gen. Evans was defeated in the canvass for the uomina- THE WEEKLY NEWS (TWO-TIMES-A-WEEK): MONDAY, JULY 2, 1894. tion. His friends have now no right to feel aggrieved at his defeat. If Mr. At kinson had been defeated Gen. Evans’ friends would have expected Mr. Atkin son’s friends to give Gen. Evans a hearty and loyal support. They cannot honora bly do otherwise now than give Mr. At kinson all the help they can. After all, it is not Mr. Atkinson’s per sonal success that is the matter of the most importance, but the success of the Democratic party. Every democrat should take a pride in making the demo cratic victory as great as possible. For years the Empire state of the south has been proud of the majorities she has given the Democratic party. Let her give a democratic majority this year of which she will be proud. The managers of the campaign should make it a point to find out the democrats who are indifferent to the results of the campaign and impress upon them the necessity not only for voting themselves, but also of getting their neighbors to vote. A great democratic victory this fall will make the populists despair of ever mak ing much headway in Georgia.

Delaware Kemper, United States consul to Amoy, China, have been quite uneasy about him and his family on account of the plague in that country. He writes of their' safe arrival at Hong Kong, whqre 17.000 have died of the plague, and 80.000 have fled from the city. Charles Renauld, a New York merchant, who spends much time with his family at Fontainebleu, and who has had M. Carnot's son, Cadi, as his guest, says that Mme. Car not had a strong presentment that her hus band would meet the death that has over taken him. and that it was chiefly her fears that influenced M. Carnot to decline to seek another term of the French presidency. The diary Os the Shah of Persia, written in a flOent Persian style, has been published by command in Teheran. In addition to his ex periences at the British court, the shah gives a detailed and lengthy account of various towns of England and Scotland, and of many mansions and country houses of English and Scotch noblemen.

For Their Own Good. From the Chicago Herald (Dem.). For the sake of the men themselves steps should be taken to disperse the original Coxey army which has been encamped at Bladens burg for two months. The commonweal cru sade has fizzled, out and the “petition in boots” has degenerated into mere vagabond age. The Bladensburg contingent is a burden upon the charitable people of the vicinity. It can accomplish nothing. Coxey has desertei it. Browne will only get it into trouble. The “industrials” Augat to scatter andgo to work. If they won’t do it of their own accord the Bladensburgers should withhold supplies. That will disband the corps. Isn’t This a Mara’s Nest P From the Augusta (Ga.) News (Dem.). There is danger of revolt all along the line, unless speedy action is taken to save the Democratic party. It is given out that the agreement of the Gober-dußignon-Atkinson conference, at Savannah, is to be carried out to the letter. Steve Clay is to be made uresi dent of the convention, Gober chief justice in place of Bleckley. dußignon senator in place of Gordon, and so on. Now. if Mr. At kinson and his friends are wise, they will pause. If-they will tender the presidency of the state convention to Gen. Clement A.

ZEILIN & CO., proprietors, Philadelphia. The Actress Remembered It. In an elevated train which was going up town the other morning sat a well-known actress, says the New York Tribune. She had evidently just arrived in town from a railroad trip. At Chambers street, a young woman entered the train and took a seat next to the actress. Soon she seemed to recognize the actress, whom she had never before seen off the stage. She stole shy glances at her face, admiring the fine dark eyes and the lovely complexion which have been praised by thousand&of New York theater-goers. The actress wore an attractive jacket and an ex tremely pretty traveling hat. She looked so fresh and charming that the younger woman could not resist the temptation to show with her eyes her admiration for her neighbor. Finally she plucked up her courage and snoke to the other.. “Aren’t you Miss ?" she asked. ‘•Yes,” answered the other with a smile, but she looked surprised at the question. • Well. 1 could not resist the temptation to speak to you,” said the younger. "I have en joyed seeing joi act so much. You have given me so much, pleasure in my life without ever knowing it that I want to thank jpu for it and to intioluce myself." r lhe compliment pleased the woman of the stage and she rewarded her young admirer with a brilliant smile, immediately showing an interest in her. As the train rattled up through the city they became more and more friendly and soon they were chatting and lai-gbing as if. they were two school-girl com panions. Finally when the girl had gath ered up her bag and <umbrellh. as a woman does three minutes before she expects to leave a train, she turned with an animated expression on her face. “I should like to ask you something,” she said. "What is it?” said the actress with a smile. The young woman s face took on a faint color and she hesitated. “Do you remember," she asked, “going to College a long time ago to give a reading —before you were an actress and famous?” • Oh, yes." answered the other. I remem ber it very well,” “And do you remember," asked the girl, with a half-giggle, and blushing furiously, "being in a committee-room »nd overhearing a telegraphic message received?” “Why, yes," answered the actrqss, laughing heartily. "I remember that very well, too.” “It was my brotherwho sent it," said the girl, "and we’ve often talked about it.” She shook hands with the actress, they smiled their_“good byes," and the girl left the train. Asm ile lingered on the face of the actress as she thought over the incident. There are other people than these two who know about that incident. In a New England college at that time it was a “fad" with the students to learn telegraphy, so that they could communicate with their classmates. In nearly every senior s room there was an instrument, and the toys used to keep up a lively clicking of the key all over the college grounds. One evening a young woman came to the town to give a reading at a college en tertainment. She was a slip of a girl, then unknown,, but the report spread around the college like wildfire that she was extremely pretty. She was conducted from the station by a "dignitied” senior appointed to attend her. In the committeqtrwm. where she was led;, was »telegrapher's.'' instrument. Shortly after the ar: hl of the pretty voting woman to the comreHtee-ropnitarn k»tiu jnent eegap td'tfofipd., . , "Is Mise ——— here?” said the magic click. A senior stepped quietly over to the table, touched the key and sent back the answer. “Yes," he clicked. Then came the reply, the click sounding something like a trumphet to the committee in their guilty knowledge. “Well, kiss her for her mother!" “Thank goodness!" whispered one of the students, “that she doesn't understand teleg raphy,” and then they all “wilted.” The young woman s cheek was scarlet, but there was a gleam of mischief in her eye. "I ought to tell you,' she said hastily to one of the committeemen, “that I understand telegraphy.” That was eighteen years ago. The slip of a girl has long been prominently before the public as an aetrcis. The toy who sent the message is a grave and hard working lawyer, climbing the ladder that leads to a New York reputation and making a fortune. But he never sees that actress across the footlights without hearing the click of a telegraphic kev that says "Ri|S her for her mother” Evi dently the actress’ memory is good, and per haps she never hears a telegraphic instru ment sound without hearing the same “Kiss her for her mother.” Qualified to Act as Judge. Buffalo Bill once gave u show in Carson City, Nev., and on the opening night the house was packed to the doors. The audi ence. however, went away dissatisfied be cause Mr. Cody himself did not appear. The celebrated eowtoy when the time came for him to startle the audience with his deeds of daring, was not to be found. So the good people of Carson dubbed the show a “fake.”' and after the first night only a few attended. Charles B. Locke, the manager of the show brought a suit against Buffalo Bill to recover damages. It caused a great sensation in Carson, for. according to the San Francisco News Letter, the resi dents of that town knew very little of the merits of Thespians of any kind, and there were few. if any, who could honestly tell whether or not it was more gratifying to the audience for an Intoxicated actor to ap pear on the stage and make a fool of himself or remain behind the scenes in the arms of Morpheus, 'lhe judge of the court did not like to decide the case between Messrs. Locke and Cody, and it was impossible to find a jury with sufficient intelligence to understand the matter. Finally it was agreed to let Sam Davis djeid? > the case. So the sage bush humorist was brought before the tribu nal and was closely questioned bv the judge who wanted to see how ifiuch Mr. Davis knew about the drama. “Have you ever been in a theater, Mr. Da v's 1 " asked the judge. “Yes. sir.” “Do you think you can tell • the difference between a man who is intoxicated and a man who is sober?” “Most assuredly.” answered Mr. Davis “Did you ever hear of a theater where the play drew largely on the first night and con tinued to draw largely during the run of the playr’l “Yes, sir." , •Where?” “In London. It was a tragedy.” “Who wrote It?” » “William Shakespeare." "Now, Mr. Davis, did you ever hear of a theater where the play drew largely on the first night and only bight or ten people on every night thereafter .” “Yes. sir." “Where?” “In London. It was a tragedy also.’’ “And who wrote that tracedv v " “I did.” Mr. Davis was unanimously selected to de cide the suit, which he did in favor of Buffalo Bill. • t On a Gold Basis. A member of the House who went to see Secretary Morton at the • agricultural depart ment on a matter of business yesterday, says the Washington Post, happened to pick up -a newspaper containing a report of Mr. Bryan's speech at the Omaha silver conference last Thursday. The closing part of the speech struck him with especial force. It read as follows: - , "The desire for money is as universal as the desire for food. We ‘must use stiver whether it is mined in Colorado or in Aus tralia, or whether it faUs like manna from the skies.” -What do you think of that?" asked the member, reading it a'.oud to the secretary. "I am surprised that Mr. Bryan is not bet ter versed in BioUcal lore," replied Mr. Morton solemnly, “for every student of the scriptures knows that Heaven is run on a gold bas’s with golden harps, golden streets, golaen gates, and everything else ft ' > ITEMS OB INTEREST.

H. H. Robinius, of Indianapolis, has in his possession a Bible of the sixteenth century, which has been in his family for many years. The Bible is a' translation from either the Hungarian or Latin language. It is printed in old German, with very large type.

The.book is in a fair state of preservation excepting that some of the leaves are slightly faded and curled up on the ends. The hog’s legs perform a function not known to any other animal, and that is an es cape pipe or pipes, for the discharge of waste water or sweat not used in the economy of the body. These escape pipes are situated upon the inside of the legs, above and .below the knee in the forelegs, and above the gambrel joints in the hind legs, but in the latter they are very small and functions light; ujon the inside of the foreleg they are, in the healthy hog, always active, so that moisture is always there from about and below these orifices or ducts in the healthy hog. The holes in the leg and breathing in the hog are his principal and only means of ejecting hn excess of heat above normal, and when very warm the hog will open the mouth and breathe through that channel as well as the nostrils. Dr. S. B. Ward, of Alt any, N. Y., was asked to explain the alleged sudden increase in the number of cases of appendicitis-; and in his reply, among other things, he said: “Appendicitis is an inflammation of the ap pendix. It is not k”own what causes it There are two proofs that appendi citis is not due to ihe lodgment of seeds. The first is that in almost every instance where an operation has been performed the ap pendix has been found empty, though in flamed. The second is that in operations after death, when death has been due to other causes, substances have often been found in the appendix, and yet that organ was not inflamed. As to the Impression that operations are necessarily fatal, that, too, is wrong, as no more difficulty is liable to fol low than may follow the most simple opera tion. All that is necessary is to cut through and pull out the appendix, so as to tie it and cut it off. It is a part of the anatomy that is not necessary.” "Among the many singular traits of char acter possessed by seals,” said a retired sea captain to the Globe Democrat, “none is more striking than the devotion of the male to its offspring, cdhtrasted with the apathetic attention paid by the mother, the latter will at the least alarm bolt away into the sea and leave her babies behind her, but* the bulls mount guard over the swarming herds of young and nothing can exceed their devotion and courage when called upon as protectors. The sense of smell possessed by the seals Is verystro g and will invariably wake them out of a sound sleep, even if you come upon them ever so quietly to the windward, and you will alarm them in this way much more thoroughly, though you be a half mile dis tant, than if you came up carelessly from the leeward and even walked in among thbm, they seeming to feel that you are not differ ent from one of their own species until they smell you.” “A good deal of importance is attached by export horse buyers to the color of horses, particularly with regard to their legs,” said a Western stockman to the ist Louis Globe- Democrat.. “The best horses I have ever known had their feet and legs marked with white. It is proverbial that sorrel and chest nut horses with white upon their legs are good natured, while horses of the same color without a dash of white are often found to be unsafe animals. Many people think that the parti colored horses belong ing to ilrcuses are selected for their oddity , but they are really chcsen on account of their gent'eaess and docility. It is said that a black horse cannot stand, the heat, and white horses have been pronounced as un suited to cold. The physiognomy of horses is also much regarded. If he is full and broad between the eyes, he is supposed to have superior sense, and to be. easily trailed, but if he has a sharp, narrow face, be care ful how much you trust him.” Those who watch the cormorant’s diving feats are usually so interested in the fortunes of the chase as the handsome bird dashes af ter the fish, that not one visitor in t wenty ob serves that, from the mode of its entering the water to its exit, its methods of move ment are absolutely different to those.of the pen ruins. The cormorant does not plunge headlong. It launches Itself on the surface, and then “ducks” like a grede. Its wings are not used as propellers, but trail unresistingly level with its body, and the speed at which it courses through the water is wholly due to the swimmipg powers- of Its large and ugly webbed feet. 1 hese are set on quite at the end of the tody, and work incessantly like a treadle, or- the floats of a stern-wheel steamer. Yet the conditions of submarine motion are so favorable that the speed of the bird below the surface is three or four times greater than that gairied by equally rapid movements of the feet when it has risen and ib swimming on the top. The luster of the feathers in the clear water, the cloud of bril liant bubbles which pour from the plumage, like the nebulous train of a comet, as the bird rushes through the water, and the sapphire light of the large blue eye make the cormor ant's fishing one of the prettiest ajuatic ex ercises in the world. The Greek word hades as it appears in the New Testament and the Hebrew word sheol in the Old Testament, savs the St. Louis Republic, are used In the most general and literal sense—that of denoting state of condition of the dead, including the grave as the abiding place of the body and the world of spirits as the abode of the soul. The He brew idea of it is very fully given in Job x, 21-22. It may be interesting to those of the Republic's readers that have been paying any particular attention to the various opin ions of hell, purgatory, hades, etc., as they have appeared in the department, to see tlie above compared with the pagan notions from which the Greek word hades is derived. The name of Hades was given to Pluto by both the Gresks and the Romans. Pluto is, as almost everv one knows, the god of darkness which was supposed to preside -over the infernal regions. He was represented as being the son of Chronos and Rhea, the husband of Persephone and the brother of Zeus and Poseidon. He bore the name of being a fierce, cruel, and inexorable tyrant, dreaded by mortals who, when they invoked him struck the earth with their hands, sacrificed black sheep in his honor, and in honoring their sacrifices stood with averted faces. The grim hades was supposed to shut up the shades of aeith in his dark do main. His acode was supposed to be shared only by his wife, who was equally as cruel as fierce and tyrannical husband. CENTRAL REORGANIZATION. The Plan to Be Ottered Security Hold ers Completed. An Issue of $7,000,000 First Mort gage Os, $1,300,000 Consolidated Os, $1,000,000 Guaranteed Bonds, $15,- 000,000 Income Bonds and $10,000,- 000 Common Stock—The Southwest ern and Augusta and Savannah Hoads to Be Leased at 0 Per Cent. New York, June 29.—The plan for the reorganization of the Georgia Central Railroad Company is completed. It. provides for the issuing of $7,000,000 first mortgage 5 per cent, gold bonds, $1,300,000 consolidated 5 per cent, bonds, and $1,000,- 000 guaranteed bonds to bear interest at per cent, for two years and increasing at the rate of X per cent, yearly until they shall bear 5 per cent. Besides these mortgage bonds there are to be $15,000,000 incomes, divided into two series, A and B, and $15,000,000 of common stock. The plan provides for the leasing of the Southwestern and the Augusta and Savannah railroads on a 5 per cent, basis, and the bonds of other roads are to be redeemed on payment of face value partly in new guaranteed bonds and partly in new income bonds. Among those to be taken up in this way are the bonds of the Chattanooga, Rome and Columbus, the Savannah and Western, and the Ma con and Northern. The holders of certi ficates of indebtedness, as well as the holders of the Columbus and Rome and Savannah and Atlantic bonds, will re ceive par value in income bonds. REJOICING AT CHATTANOOGA. Chattanooga, Tenn , June 29.—There is great rejoicing to-night in Chattanooga over the announcement that the Chatta nooga, Rome and Columbus rail road has been included in the reorganized Georgia Central system. This makes Chattanooga the northern terminus of that great system, and the distributing point for a large quantity of ocean freight for the west. It is signifi cant in this connection that the officials of the Chattanooga, Rome and Columbus road have just obtained a charter for the Chattanooga Terminal Company. It is thought that this means much for Chattanooga., The reorganization >com mit*<?e have provided funds for placing the Chattanooga. Rome and Columbus in good condition. Receiver Jones of that road says he expects greatly increased terminal facilities, including ware houses, to be provided here at once and soon shops for repairs on the northern di vision of the system. NA.TTX YARDS CLOSED. Work Suspended Until the Appropria tion Bill is Passed. Washington, June 30.—Secretary Her bert issued an order to-day suspending all work in navy yards that is paid for out of the appropriations for the increase of the navy. This is caused by the failure of congress to pass a naval appropriation bill, Attorney General Olney agreeing with Secretary Herbert that the joint resolu tion extending current appropriations does not cover the matter. The shipsnow build ing under contract, including the battle ships and the armored cruiser Brooklyn, are not affected, nor will the repairs now progressing in government yards 'be ter minated. but the Maine, Texas, Cincinnati and Raliegh must remain untouched until further congressional action is secured. The naval bureaus have kept barely within their appropriations, not over sgo,- 000 remaining to their credit to-day, but they may continue the services of clerks and workmen for another month, using a portion of the $150,000 made available by the joint resolution. It was feared at first that all naval repairs would be shut down and that Rarely sufficient money re mained to keep the yards closed and maintain an efficient force of watchmen. In that emergen cy it would have been necessary to call on the army to guard naval property. As it is, only 400 or 500 workmen will suffer from the order which the secretary was compelled to issue. COTTONSEED OIL MILLS. $40,000,000 Per Year Added to the Wealth of the Country. Chattanooga, Tenn., June 30.—The Tradesman, in reviewing the cotton tex tile industry of the south, gives a list showing the present numberof active cot tonseed mills to be 253, Texas leading with 89. Investigation proves that the best mills produce 40 gallons of oil, 675 pounds of cottonseed meal, 950 pounds of hulls and 30 pounds of lint to the ton of seed. The mills exported in the year ending May 12, 1894, cotton seed to the value of $41,033; oil cake and meal to the value of $6,684,200, and oil to the value of $5,203,675, and in quantity over 5,000,000 pounds of seed, nearly 600,000,000 pounds of oil cake and meal, a..d nearly 13,000,000 gallons of cot ton seed oil.. The Tradesman’s representatives show that about 1,500,000 tons of cotton seed which a few years ago was a waste, pro duct were reduced to oil, meal, lint and hulls during the year, yielding over $lB.- 000,000 to the farmers and adding about $40,000,000 to the wealth of the qountry. The representatives show that the num ber of mills is steadily increasing in the south. . Race Track Gamblers Indicted. Chicago, June 30.—The grand jury to-day returned indictments against the Hawthorne race tracls peo ple for keeping a common gambling place, and the Washington Park .club for maintaining a nuisance. There is no statue on which the Wash ington Park club indictment can be based, but the jury ia, looking up the law found, that boiling fripe or skinning fish may be indictable offenses if attended by un pleasant odors, and reasoned that the smell from the stablds must be unpleasant and the indictment, was issued.

Awarded H’ijhest Honors World's Fair. 0 s PRICE’S The only Pure Cream of Tartar Powder.—No Ammonia; No AltnO* in Millions of Homes —40 Years the Standard* HOT SHOT FIRED AT HINES. The Claim Made That Hines’ Law- Firm Sold Out the Plaintiff While Pretending- to Act as His Attorneys. The Sale ox the Southern Cotton Mills the Basis of the Suit. Atlanta, Ga.,; June 30.—A sensational suit for damages was filed in the superior court of Fulton county to-day against Judge James K. Hines, the populist can didate for governor. The action is brought by W. W. Brigg, a well known citizen of Atlanta, through Col. John A. Wimpy, as attorney. Mr. Brigg is a writer and ip ven tor. fte is a brother of W. O. Brigg of New York, who is several times a millionaire, and has another brother in England who is worth 810,000,- 000, the Brigg family being more or less distinguished both ir. England and this country. Col. John A. Wimpy, the attor ney who brings the suit, is a populist who has taken an active part in the party’s deliberations in this county and in the section about Oxford, where he lives, though his law practice is done from At lanta. BASIS OF THE SUIT. Brigg sues for $25,000 damages upon an allegation of facts setting up that the law firm of Hines, Shubrick & Felder, while acting as his attorneys in,the prosecution of a certain claim, betrayed their trust and practically sold out his interest to the other side. Thte petition recites that in 1891 Brigg, the. petitioner, employed Messrs. Hines, Shubrick & Felder as at torneys to collect a claim of SIO,OOO, which was due him bv- the Southern Cotton Mills, the defendants to receive a contin gent fee of 10 per cent. Suit was brought in Fulton county superior court to recover the SIO,OOO, but the petitioner alleges that owing to the carelessness and negligence of the defendants the whole was entirely lost to him. THE SENSATIONAL FEATURE. The most sensational part of the suit then follows: Brigg says that by virtue of their position as his attorneys the defend ants gained his confidence. Confiding in them as honorable and upright attorneys, in the course of said employment, and "by reason of which, and the fact that the said southern cotton mills beintr indebted §,nd embarassed by a SIO,OOO mortgage, the defendants being at the time Brigg’s attorneys, and by reason of their control of his claim, they got control of this $lO,- 000 mortgage. Brigg was led to believe that the defendants were acting in good faith in his interest to collect his SIO,OOO. THE PROPERTY ON THE BLOCK. The property of the Southern Cotton Mills was brought to sale at public out j cry, at vvhich’sale the defendants had the J control and management. The property was worth SIOO,OOO, the petitioner avers, and previous to the sale he conferred with his lawyers, the defendants, as to the ad visability of his buying the cotton mill property, which the defendants advised and were to assist in so that the peti tioner’s SIO,OOO claim might be protected. Under the SIO,OOO mortgage referred to, the property was sold. Brigg, believing that Judge Hines and his partners, as his attorneys, were acting in good faith with him, was present at the sale and bid in the property at $13,000. THE LAWYERS BUY IT. The defendants having control of the sale were present, and by permission of the United States marshal, who conduct ed the sale, Brigg claims he was given fifteen minutes in which time to produce the clinch his bid. But while he was gone, and before the fifteen min 'utes passed, he alleges that Judge Hiuea anti his associates caused the property ta be resold, They bid it in themselves for SI3,(MM), and refused to deliver the prop erty to him, though acting as his attor neys, but informed him that they had represented James W. English in making their bid. Brigg continues that he made a further demand for the property of James W. English, but he said he* had sold it to Ware & Owens, real estate dealers in Atlanta, and when he applied to them they offered to let him have it for $25,000. Tricked and deceived. “There,” the petition continues, “it came to the knowledge of your petitioner that the defendants had tricked and de ceived your petitioner out of his said bid. All of this happened within a few hours of' said sab?.” Brigg says he then ap plied to Judge Hines’ firm, and they told him they did not think he could get the property from Ware & Owens for less than $25,000, though a little later he dis covered that he could get it for $17,000. It developed still further on, the petition alleges, that the defendants had them selves given an option on the property to Secretary Hoke Smith and one F. C. Foster for $15,000, who finally bought it from them at that figure, Foster being an owner of stock m the mills. Bragg concludes his petition by alleg ing: “That pretended sale of the property to James W. English, and from English to Ware & Owens, was a sham trick, done in order to deceive and de fraud your petitioner out of his bid and out of the property, and all of which was done by the defendants in violation of their duties as attorneys of your peti tioner.” TEACHERS AT CUMBERLAND.
