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. HE WANTED TO KILL ARRESTING CDEICER. Field Ba'iey, Arrested Cor Disorderly Conduct, hacked for Officer.

Hartman: “Some years ago a friend of our insti tution recommended to us Dr. Hart man’s ‘ Pe-ru-na’ as an excellent remedy for the la grippe, of which we then had leveral oases which threatened to be of a serious character. “We began to use it and experienced mch wonderful results that sinoe then Pe-ru-na has become our favorite medi cine for influonaa, oatarrh, coughs, colds and bronchitis. Sisters of St. Francis, “Bt. Vincent’s Orphan Asylum.” Mr. G. W. Ar- Snge, of Collins ville, Tex., writes: “I have been us ing Pe-ru-na for oough I have had for some time. It has completely cured me, and I do heartily reoom- -‘-T —’ Mr. G. W. Aringe and Sou. mond it to those suffering from coughs and colds. I will praise Pe-ru-na for ever.” Pe-ru-na cures la grippe. Mr. Joseph Kirchonsteiner, 87 Croton street, Cleveland, O, says: “We have used Pe-ru-na for eight years as our family medicine. During the whole of Mr. Joseph Klrchenstelner. Whenever one of the family feel in the least ill mother always says: ‘Take Pe ru-na and yon will be well,’ or, if we do not happen to have any, ‘ We will have to get more Pe-ru-na.’ Pe-ru-na is al ways satisfactory in colds and coughs.” Free Correspondence. 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 guard against the many affections to 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 Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera and Diar rhoea Remedy, and five dost* gave her permanent relief. I take pleasure in recommending It as the best on the market.—Mrs. F.

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. Mr. Albert Borngraeber, of Mayville, Wis., says: “I want to tell you that I that time we have not had to employ a physician. Our family oonsists of seven, and wo al ways use it so r the thousand and one ailments to which mankind is liable.

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. WOULD NOT iPLAY “SAPHO.” Miss Everson Resigns From the Impe rial Stock Company of St. Louis, 3t. Louis, Feb. 27. —M(ss Isabelle Everson, the leading lady of the Impe rial Stock Company, who had been cast for the leading role in the production of “Sapho” in this city, has declined to play the part on the ground that the play Is Immoral and one In which no self-respecting woman should ap pear. Upon being told that she must appear In the role If she desired to re main In the company she promptly re signed. It Is announced that her place will be filled by Miss Victory Date man.

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 and then burned all their property; and, “Whereas, The said family Is In a suffering and destitute condition with out even the necessaries of lile; there fore. “Resolved by the senate and house of representatives of the United States of America in congress assembled, That the sum of eight dollars per month is hereby appropriated out of any money itn the treasury of the Uni ted States not otherwise appropriated, to be immediately available for th» re lief of the said family, and to be dis tributed unders u' ,v ’ rules and regula tions as may be prescribed by the post master general.” JIM BLOUNT DISTINGUISHED. He Wins a Name For Himself in the Philippines. 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.” THE MACON POSTOFFICB.

It la absolutely fra*. yet nothing has been heard from the contest which the Republicans are making among themselves for the place, anu it is thought that Mr. Her tz may have to continue to held the office for a while longer. 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 to say (for publication, but some of his friends declare that if Mr. Ed wards is net confirmed by the senate, the president will a'most certainly nominate Mr. Locke, and so will not only kept his promise to allow Maj. Hanson to name the postmaster, but will at the same time appease Mr. Edwards’ Republican opponents. There are quite a number, on the oth er hand, who say the president will 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 There is no public question, unless it is annexation of the suburbs, that is more interesting at present to the people of Macon, and everybody is watching to see the outcome of the complications. u SICK HEADACHES. , The curse of overworked womankind, jare quickly and surely cured by Karl’s j Clover Root Tea, the great blood ruri !fier and tissue builder.

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 ‘city is still strict in its morals and the BARHBNXEB 8 .
