SATURDAY
ROBBERY AT
ATLANTA.
A Bold Bit of
Work.
/
A Thief Makes pis With $1,300 from
the Kimball.
Atlanta, Ga., March 3.—The boldest,
most audacious, and at the same time
one of the cleverest robberies ever per
petrated in thic city occuned yester
day at the Kimball house at 9 o’clock.
A thief walked into the private office
of Cashier Henry S. Cave, on the Pry
or street side, near the entrance, and
‘ stalked off with over thirteen hundred
''dollars in currency and checks.
Cashier Cave had stepped to the tel
ephone in the rear of the hotel rotun
da, behind the clerk’s desk, where he
had evidently been called by the device
of a confederate of the robber. No one
answered the ’phone and in a few min
utes, when Mr. Cave returned to his
office, he noticed that the money had
i disappeared.
When Mr. Cave left his office he
says that he closed the door behind
him. The door hits a spring lock on
the inside, and when pulled shut can
(only be opened from the inside. Mr.
iCave left the monejnHying on top of
'his desk in full view of the street. He
says he is satisfied that the man who
entered his office had a duplicate key
and was waiting his opportunity to
commit the robbery.
CHOSE A GOOD TIME.
A more auspicious time could not have
been selected for the deed. Being the
first of the month nearly all the regu
lar boarders had just paid their bills,
and their checks were still in the
hands of the cashier. Of the amount
taken from Mr. Cave’s desk about S9OO
was in city checks, and of course will
do the robber no good, as the various
banks in' the city upon which the
gteck3 were issued have been notified
• look out for them. None of them
»d been endorsed either, and of
murse this will render them practlcal-
worthless.
The heaviest loss to the hotel was
th\ curency which was taken. This
amounts to $450.
Ny one can be found so far who saw
any one enter the office in Mr. Cave’3
absence, and the work was done so
tiuickly, so quietly and so cleverly that
an air of great mystery surrounds the
robbery and shows that it was the
Iwork of artists in that line.
Atlanta, Ga., March 3.—J. if.
Focck, Jr., an electrical contractor,
was arrested to-night for robbing the I
Kimball house this morning of about !
$1,500 »n currency and checks. When
arrested Soock said he had been pilfer
ing for four years, and that one of h.s
victims last year was a bucket shop
firm from which he secured several
hundred dollars. He was married one
year ago and recently returned from a
trip to Paris. Soock was prominent
In. chureh work, and admitted to-night 1
that he had been leading a double life.
He says he was driven tQ stealing by
necessity.

Field Ba'iey, Arrested Cor Disorderly
Conduct, hacked for Officer.
Athens, Ga., Macrh 3. —Field Bailey,
o young pi on about 30 years of age,
wes arrestrt) last night by Officer Rose
for disorderly conduct. He was car
ried to the police station and a case i
was made against him.
He told the officer he would shoot
Mm, but no attention was paid to It.
When he was released Bailey got a
shotgun and went to Officer Rose’s
home. Mr. Rose’s daughter opened
the doer and Bailey asked to see the
officer.
Mr. Rose was HI ands ent word he j
could not come out. In the meanwhile j
had retired to the sidew.dk 1
"covering the door with his gun. Mr. 1
Bose’s daughter delivered the message i
and seeing the gun stemmed the door, j
Mr. Rose’s family prevented him from
leaving the house and soon afterward
three officers who had beard Galley’s
threats arrived.
Bailey was still waiting for Officer
Rose to come out. He was arrested
and a preliminary trial will be given
him <n a few days.

Tho climatic diseases of winter are
mainly coughs, colds, catarrh, bronch
itis, tonsiiitis and other catarrhal affec
tions of the respiratory tract. Pe-ru-na
is an absolute specific for all of these af
fections. Pe-ru-na will cure a cough or
a cold in a very few days. Pe-ru-na will
cure chronic catarrh even of years’
standing in a few weeks. Pe-ru-na
should be kept in every house as a safd

which the family is liable during the
winter season.
LITTLE LOUISE OETJEN DIES.
She Fell Asleep at 9:45 Last Even,
ing.
Died, at 9:45 last evening, at (he
residence of her parents, Louise Oet
jen, aged 13 months. Funeral from
the residence at 3:30 Sunday after
noon. Interment in city cemetery.
The little one, whose sufferings have
beei» so intense, has fallen asleep, and
is wrapt in (.he arms of Him who said
“Suffer little children to com 0 unto
Me.” She made a heroic fight lor life.
She was given every care that loving
hands could render.
She was cut down in the morning
of her life, but the perfume of 'her
presence will linger long in the mem
ory of her parents. She was to them
what the oasis is to the traveler in thq
desert. She has shed the light of her
countenance upon them, and has
breathed upon them a benediction of
peace which “passeth all understand
ing."
Today she bids them farewell; no,
not farewell, but goodbye. Today, her
little body Is with them, but her soul
is In that Paradise where Jesus reigns
supreme.
It is, indeed, a severe loss—one
which cannot be replaced, but to Him
to whom, all sorrows are known and all
hearts are open, they resign her, hop
ing that they, too, may come into His
everlasting Kingdom.
The sympathy of many friends Is
extended to Mr. and Mrs. Oetjen in
their sad bereavement.
CHRONIC DIARRHOEA CURED.
My mother suffered with chronic
diarrhoea for several months. She
was attended by two physicians who
at last pronounced her case hopeless.
She procured one 25-cent bottle of

In every city and large town in the
United States the Sister of Charity has
become a familiar object. The Catholic
Sisters—sweet messengers of charity,
ceaseless and indefatigable in their
labors—move quietly and swiftly in and
out among tho people, receiving, dis
pensing, assisting and comforting.
Neither heat nor cold, fatigue or danger,
deter them from their errands of mercy.
They are to be found in palace and
hovel; in the boulevard and brothel.
Nothing daunts them. Nothing dis
courages them. Vast institutions of
refuge for the homeless and hopeless
have arisen in every city by their tire
less labors.
By no means the least service they
render helpless humanity is their dis
pensation of medicine. Their experience
among the sick, and their anxiety to bo
of assistance to them, soon lead them to
know the most efficient and safe reme
dies. It would be impossible that so
popular and valuable a remedy as Pe
ru-na could have escaped their atten
tion. Many lotters have been received
from institutions of this kind praising
tho benefit that Pe-ru-na has been to
them.

SOLD “SAPHO;” SENT TO PRISON.
Jury Decided That It Is An Offense to
Sell Daudet’s Popular Novel.
(Philadelphia Bulletin.)
“Sapho” has made its appearance in
Philadelphia, anj as a result Frederick
Kahler goes to prison for a year.
Thinking the notoriety achieved by
Oig a Nethersole through her arrest in
New York for producing a dramatiza
tion of Daudet’s novel would inevitably
draw public attention to the work and
lead to a large sale, Kahler laid in a
good supply of the books, for each of
which he demanded sl. Customers in
quiring for “Sapho” were told that
books equally racy could he purchased
as could also certain photographs.
Police Lieutenant O’Brien visited the
store and in exchange for his good coin
was given “Sapho,” “Wanted, a Con
science,’’ and a stock of photographs.
He then arrested Kahler, who was
tried before Judge Finletter in the
criminal court today on charges of
selling obscene literature and pictures.
Kahler did not deny the sale of. the
articles, but his lawyer contended that
the books were'in no way indecent or
offensive, and he argued that the same
books were on sale in nearly all the
large stores in this city. He also ar
gued that the objectionable pictures
were mere reproductions of legitimate
works of art, the same as were publicly
xhibited throughout the country.
k. The Jury Wrestled with the subject
for an hour or so before deciding that
the articles wer e indecent. Judge Fin
letter imposed a sentence of one year
and directed that the exhibits offered
In evidence be destroyed.

Everson, the leading lady of the Impe

for the leading role in the production
of “Sapho” in this city, has declined

LYNCHING.

Washington, March 3.—The lynching
of the negro postmaster at Lake City,
0. C., in *IB9B, was made the subject
of as pecial jointr esolution Introduced
In the house to-day by Representative
Roberts, Republican ol Massachusetts,
fit provides as follows:
“Whereas, On or about the 21st of
February, 1898, 100 or more armed
men fired upou and killed the postmas
ter at Lake City, S. C., and one of his
family and wounded several others

Macon, Ga., March 3.—A Macon
gentleman has just received a copy
of (he Tribune, published in Manila,
P. 1., 'Under the date of Sunday, Jan
uary 14, 1900. The entire front page
of the paper Is taken up with an ar
ticle called “The Campaign in the
South—The Greater part of the pro
vince of Cavite is Overrun by our
Troops—Baites’ Successful Campaign
Near an End —Aguinaldo with Pio
Del Pilar supposed to be Hastening
Toward the Northern-Camarines.”
In this article Capt. Jas. H. Blount,
the well known Macon lawyer, who
now commands a company of Macca
bebes, figures quite prominently, and
is reported to have done some gallant
work in the campaign.
While this is by no means surpris
ing to the Macon friends of Capt.
Blount, nevertheless, it is interesting
reading to all Macon people, and in
deed to many Georgians outside of
Macon. “The Maccabbebes,” says
the paper, “ aTe almost dwarfs in
stature, and the high grass at times
completely .hides them from the ene
my’s view. To the light of the road,
up the steep incline, leading to the
enemy’s position, swept Capt.
Blount’s company, headed by Blount,
Geiger and Lieut. Chadwick, With
in a remarkably short space of time
the Maccabebes had won the day and
had succeeded in driving the rebels
far from the scene of action.”
Another reference to Capt. Blount’s
command appears in this paragraph:
“Throughout the fight Lieut. Geiger
rode his big cavalry horse, which once
belonged to Trooper Griscome, killed
at the fight of Munpen-Lupa, where
the bullets fell thick, furnished an
example to both Macabebes and Am
ericans. For his brave action Major
Steele complimented him in his re
port to Gen. Schwan, who was pleased
to mention the same in his report to
Gen. Otis. On the left of the line
Capt. Blount distinguished himself
by leading- his Mcccabehes ahead of
the firing line, and being the first
man to cross the enemy’s trenches.
In hie report (o Gen. Schwan Geiger
justly made mention of Blount’s
bravery. The fight had the appear
ance of a battle, as (he enemy stood
their ground remarkably well, and
sustained their fire until our troops
were within fifty yards of their tre'n
ches, when they escaped and disap
peared within the jungle.”

Maj. J. F. t-lanson ihas gone North,
but if his Macon friends know any
thing about his mission they are -not
divulging it. The supposition among
the guessers is that he will take oc
casion while absent to go to Washing
ton City and pull a few wires for Mr.
Harry Stillwell Edwards, whose no
mination for the postoffice was made
by the president some time ago, but
who is being bitterly fought by both
Congressman Bartlett and Senator
Bacon. Mr. Edwards has stated that
so far as he is personally concerned
his letter to Senator Bacon, which was
published in The Telegraph some
time ago, was his tarwell shot, and
no matter what may happen in future
lie will not be heard from again in
this matter.
Col. Locke has absolutely nothing

his friends declare that if Mr. Ed

the president will a'most certainly

Hanson to name the postmaster, but
will at the same time appease Mr.
Edwards’ Republican opponents.
There are quite a number, on the oth

not consider that 'he has kept his
promise unless he nominates a man
the senate will confirm, and that if
the senate fails to- confirm Mr. Ed
wards, the president will immediately
-nominate any other gentleman that
Maj. Hanson may suggest.
Another view of the situation is that
senatorial courtesy will not go far
enough to cause the senate to repu
diate Mr. Edwards’ nomination simp
ly because Senator Baton and Con
gressman Bartlett may have person
objections to him, the idea being that
if Senator Bacon, as Mr. Edwards
declares in his letter, opposes Mr. Ed
wards’ confirmation because of Sena
tor’s Bacon’s personal enmity to Maj.
Hanson, then Senator Bacon would
for a like reason oppose any other
! gentleman whose appointment Maj.
flanson may advocate. And so it goes

"SAPHO” IS CONTRABAND.
The booksellers in Philadelphia are
getting themselves in trouble by sell
ing copies of Alfonse Daudet’s“Sapho.”
The book is pronounced immoral and
its pictures obscene. The booksellers
have determined to profit by the sensa
tion which the play has created in New
York and have ordered large quanti
ties of this work translated from the
French. One bookseller was promply
arraigned, the book brought up in
court, and the man was found guilty of
selling and disseminating obscene lit
erature. He was sentenced to prison
for one year. It is doubtful If this
could have occurred anywhere else
than in Philadelphia. The Quaker
