An Apology.
The News' readers have the esteemed
plumber to thank for the scarcity of edi
torial matter in today's paper. It is not
often .that the plumber appears in the role
of a public benefactor, but this one is an
<•xeeplion to the rule.
With a recklessness characteristic of his
calling he cut off the gas at an early hour
this morning and it was several hours be
fore he could be induced to turn it on
again. It is not to be understood by this
tlukt gas is essential to the sparkling gems
of ■thought that usually adorn this page,
but since tlie advent of the Mergenthaler
gas is highly essential to the moulding oi
■these thoughts into solid slugs of type.
Henc<. in tapping The News' gas main,
while trying to lower the.pipes for the
completion of the paving work on Second
street—a thing which we have not yet
despaired of—this public benefactor stop
ped operations in The News' composing
room for several hours, leaving us barely
enough time in which to get up the usual
quota of local and war news.
Recognizing the tact that the public can
better spare our editorials than anything
else, we have very magnanimously yielded
the linotypes to the local department and
war editor. In order to reassure the pub
lic, we will also mention that this catas
trophe docs not threaten a double ration
of editorial matter tomorrow, for the sin
gle reason that we capitulated and sur
rendered the editorial pen the moment the
gas was shut off.
1 he New Army Bill.
Ihe new army bill, empowering the
President to call out the volunteer forces
of the national completely upsets tlhe pres
ent tuiliita arrangement and provides,
practically, for a complete reorganization
of the state.
ating companies and regiments of the
Ihe bill snakes provision for ineorpor-
National Guard into the army, but for re
taining the officers only so far as the dif
ference in Hie size of the regiments makes
lit possible. It is doubtful if the bill will
.meet with the hearty approval of the vol
unteer militia, and, indeed, we fail to see
(Why it should.
1. The volunteer army sihall be main
tained only during the existence of war or
while-war is imminent.
-• Enlistment is tor three years, but the
end of the war terminates the service,
3. Volunteers will be accepted, as far as
possible, in proportion to the population of
their stales an territories, and the District
of Columbia.
4. Regimental and company officers may
be api»oiuteu by the President upou nom
ination by the governors of their respec
tive state*.
b. Militia organizations may enlist “in a
body, and when they do their regimental
and company officers may be appointed to
command them.
Officers and men will be on the same
looting as to pay. allowances and pensions
as those of corresponding grades of reg
ulars.
she Americus Times-Recorder agrees
with f ile News' recent editorial relative to
state volunteers, it reproduces the edito
rial in question and says;
the proimsitiou to send the state mi
litia to the front, possibly to pestilential
L'uba, has called forth au able and timely
protest from the Macon News, which will
bud an coho in hundreds of Homes iu
Americus and throughout Georgia.”
It is announced that the board of naval
strategy has been made up as follows:
Secretary Theodore Roosevelt,
president; Rear Admiral Montgomery
Bicard, naval advisor to Secretary Long;
Captain A. S. Crowninshield, chief of the
bureau of navigation; Captain A. S. Bar
ker and Commander Richardson Clover,
chief of the office of naval intelligence.
In retiring from the cabinet old man
Sherman has saved himself and family
from further •humiliation at the hands of
the Hanna administration.
Come around and read The News’ war
bulletins. They are the earliest displayed
in Macon, and, by common consent, the
most reliable.
Georgia will be called upon to furnish
about 2,000 troops at once. We wouldn’t
give 2,000 young Georgians for every Cu

A TALKING NEWSPAPER.
rhe Unique Journalintle Enterprise Car
ried ou In Budapest.
A Budapest letter to tbo London Pall
Mali Gazette sajs: A small diamond
board screw* d on to the wall of my
room and provided with a conploof hooks,
from which hung two tiny. round tele
phone earpieces connected by two wires
that is all—but my proprietor has l»x»n
singing its praises for the last 2<> minutes.
ui<lanhe confidentially amured mo that
it will not play any part in mv hotel hill
nt the end of my stay, th re is no earthly
reason why I should enter any protest
against his profuse encomiums.
i bls, said he, “is the telephonic
messenger, or talking newspaper—the
only thing of its kind In the world. It
has now been established in Budapest
shout three y< are. It differs from the. or
dinary telephe.no in tho fact that the latter
is directly connected with the central of
fice, whereas we are able to connect from
2<io or doo subscribers in one circuit The
city is divided into 30 circuits All day
long news is spoken into a specially con
structed apparatus at the central office,
varied with < tertainments, tho opera and
linguistic lessons. It is not a telephone
in the strict sense of the word and there
fore does not Infringe the telephone rights
of the government. It combines the func
tions of your tajsj machines and electro
phones, while it Is ton times cheaper.
That buzz you hear just now was to pre
vent subscribers talking to each other on
thuir own account. ”
rt seems strange that snch an excel
lent idea as this appears to bo should not
lx. introduced in other towns than Buda
pest,” I ventured.
“The answer is very simple. Os course
the nowspapt r feature would be impossible
in London, where timo is everything, and
a man could nut sit the whole day with
the apparatus u. his car, waiting for some
particular news or exchange prices. Then,
again, other not ho advantage
ously situated in thin res-.pee.t as Budapest,
vhere the law empowers the company to
introduce the apparatus Into any house in
tho city In spite of tho objections of tho
landlord. Wo have here 0,000 subscribers,
mid each pays only 18 florins a year. With
us it Is j_ai in England with a certain soap
—our itiinilii.w don’t feel happy until they
get it. It is ho cheap that many of tho
rooms in my hotel are fitted up with it.
If the visitor finds it inconvenient to go
Co the opera, all Im has to <lO is to put this
ipparatus to his ear and he can be enter
tained tho whole evening. Tho general
public, toe, can have news in advance of
the newspapers. Why, a few weeks ago,
when tho German kaiser gave that cele
brated toast of bis to tho Hungarian na
tion, thousands of families were listening
to its recital half an hour later. Without
this apparatus they would have had to
wait until next day. ”
“Have you a regular daily programme?”
“Yus. It Is announced in tho morning
and changes every half hour or so. Tho
greater part of tho morning is taken up
with prices on ’change, a summary of the
nows in tho dailies. At. noon wo begin to
get a report of the doings in parliament.
Telegrams of ini porta neo arc communi
cated at once, tho telephonic messenger
being in direct connection with a leading
Budapest newspaper. At about 8 o’clock
the morning nows is in part repeated, then
come exchange prices, telegrams, law re
ports, a short, entertaining story, theat
rical items and sometimes a concert, and
for an hour in tho evening we get a lesson
in English, Italian and French. You
have no idea wind a benefit this is to the
young generation and how popular those
lessons are among them. A complete set
of graduated exercises lias been published
in these languages. Each telephone sub
scriber who cares to listen holds a copy of
the book in question before him, and the
teacher speaks into the double microphone
transmitter at the central office.”
A REVOLUTIONARY RELIC.
Varletou'H Rword That. Was Lost at the
Battle of Cowpens.
A priceless relic of Revolutionary days
has just been placed in the statehouse at
Columbia, S. C., for safe keeping. It is
the sword which Tarleton used in leading
tho British troopers at tho battle of Cow
pens, that State, against the patriots un
der Morgan, Pickens, Sumter and Marion.
Tho sword is the property of Colonel T.
E. Dickson, and has been placed with the
sword of Marion and other revolutionary
relics in tho possession of the state.
Tarleton lost the sword at tho battle of
Cowpens, where the patriots won such a
signal victory, a victory which put fresh
heart in their brethren throughout the
colonies and hastened the coining of the
triumphant end of the war at Yorktown.
Colonel William Washington, tho gallant
leader of the American cavalry, pressed
Tarleton so closely in his fight as to be
able to have one exchange of saber blows
with the British lender Washington’s
sword cut Tarleton’s lingers and the Brit
ish colonel dropped Ids steel, spurred his
steed and obtained safety by flight.
William Soott, tho father of Colonel
Dickson's mother, was an American sol
dior in the battle of Cowpens, lie saw tho
light between Washington and Tarleton
and picked up the latter’s sword when he
dropped it. Tho sword has ever since been
preserved in tho family as a priceless trophy
of ancestral prowess in tho Revolutionary
war.
Tho sword or saber, for the blade curves
back so ns to give greater force to its
blows, is long and heavy The blade is a
yard in length, while tho hilt is slightly
over 6 inches long, with an iron guard
There is a long scratch on tho guard and a
cut in tho iron knob at tho end cf tho hilt,
which are believed to have been made by
the blow of Washington’s sword which
forced Tarleton to drbp ins weapon or
which knocked it out of his hand.
Tho iron shank of the hilt is cased in
wood, which wtts covered with leather,
much of which has been worn away.
Upon the blade, close to the hilt, is en
graved the word “Potter,” probably the
name of its maker.
There are many notches in the blade,*
and some rust upon it, possibly made by
the blood cf patriots who had felt its edge.
In this connection it. will not be amiss
to repeat two anecdotes about Tarleton
uml Washington.
The patriot ladies of the Revolutionary
times had keen wits. On one occasion
Tarleton in a bragging mood was telling ■
a patriot lady how he wished he could
meet“their boasted Colonel Washington.”
Her prompt reply was, “If you had looked
behind you when running away from
Cowpens, your wish would have been
gratified. ”
On another occasion Tarleton was speak
ing contemptuously of Colonel William
Washington to a patriot lady. “Why,”
said Tarleton, “they tell mo he is so igno
rant that, he cannot even write his name.”
With a meaning glance at Tarleton’s right
hand, which Washington bad wounded,
the lady replied, “But nobody is better
aware than you, Colonel Tarleton, that
Colonel Washington knows bow to make
bis mark. ” —Washington Star.
A Narrow Escape.
Thankful words written by Mrs. Ada
E. Hart, of Groton, S. D. “Was taken with
a bad cold which settled on my lungs;
cough set in and finally terminated in
consumption. Four doctors gave me up.
saying I could only live a short time. I
gave myself up to my savior, determined
if I could not stay with my friends on
earth I would meet my absent ones above.
My husband was advised to get Dr. King’s
New Discovery for consumption, coughs
and colds. I gave it a trial, taking in all
eight bottles. It has cured me, and. thank
God, I am now a healthy woman.” Trial

Beggars’ Newspapers.
At tho present day every trade must
havo its paper, but it is not every trade
that has a daily paper de\ot-ed exclusively
to its inU i e.-t . r i be beggars of Paris
eon boost that they nro thus favored. The
I'arisian k':g,irs, who, according to a
writer in Household Words, n uni Dr about
8,000, have two daily papers.
<me of these is entitl-d I>< Bon Guide.

ets there is a list of tho addresses, arrivals
and departures of persons cf known chari
hl ;e disposition. '1 ho paper is a mine of
information to its readers.
The Beggars’ Journal is not so “high
class” a paper, but it is perhaps more in
teresting. it prides itself on the exclusive
ness of its information. It is unique in
form, being written and not printed on
tho coarse browny white paper used by
grocers to wrap sugar in.
Its advertisement columns are suggest
ive: “Wanted, a blind man to play tbo
flute. Apply to the editor.” “Wanted for
a fashionable watering place a one armed
man; good references; security required.”
This paper contains, like tho other, no
tices of births, deaths and marriages in
high circles. It does not boast of a very
huge, staff, for tho editor, who is also sole
proprietor, writes out the single copy of
the paper and takes it round every mprn
ing to each of his subscribers, who havo
the privilege of looking over this unique
journal for a few minutes by paying the
munificent sum of 8 cents a month.
Difiereut Views of a Hangman.
There is no lack of competitors for the
office of executioner when tbo oporation
has to bo performed in England, but in
Ireland there is a great prejudice against
undertaking it and thero havo boon diffi
culties sometimes in tho colonies in find
ing an operator. Marwood used to say ho
never experienced any unpopularity in
England and accounted for Calcraft being
sometimes badly received by saying that
“Mr. Calcraft.never made himself agree
able.” Going to Wales on one occasion to
fulfill his office in the case of a foreigner
who had committed several brutal mur
ders, ho found himself quite popular and
was received at the station when about to
depart with a sort of ovation, to which ho
responded affably, saying ho hoped ho
might “before long have occasion to visit
Ilium again. ”
On the other hand, on’coming back
from Cork, where he had been .to carry
out tho duties of his profession because no
native could be found to do tho job, he
had rather a rough experience, for on
board the steamer ho overheard a conver
sation between two Irishmen, one of whom
related that he heard the hangman was on
board, to which the other replied that
could ho find him ho would throw him
overboard during the night. Marwood on
this thought it well to retire to his bed in
a dark corner and did not make his ap
pearance any more until the steamer was
well in the dock in England. Chambers’
Journal.
Didn’t Refuse In Proper Form.
Any one who has lived in England
knows and has suffered from tho excesses
of tho English tea habit. An afternoon
spent with a quiot, staid Oxford professor
may mean a severe test of one’s capacity
fur consuming this beverage.
While the late Mr. Gifford was at Ash
burton he contracted an acquaintance with
a family of that place, consisting of fe
males somewhat advanced in ago. On one
occasion ho ventured on the perilous ex
ploit of drinking ton with those elderly
ladies. After having swallowed his usual
allowance of tea ho found, in spito of his
remonstrances to the contrary, that his
hostess would by no moans suffer him to
give up, but persisted in making him
drink a most incredible quantity.
“At last,” said Gifford in telling the
story, “being really overflowed with tea,
I put down my fourteenth cup and ex
claimed, with an air of resolution,‘l nei
ther can nor will drink any more.’
“The hostess then, seeing she had forced
lucre down my throat than 1 liked, began
to apologize and tickled, 'But, dear Mr.
Gifford, as you didn’t put your spoon
across your cup, I supposed your refusals
were nothing but good manners. ' ” —Lon;

Superstition About Photographs.
The Formesan aborigines regard pho
tography with Strong superstition. To
ward the e.h .-.c of September last the heir
of the chieftain of a certain tribe and sev
eral other young men visited tho Toseika
ku pacification and reclamation office, and
in tbo course of their stay they offered
themselves to be photographed. Lately
several of those young men appeared at
the same office and requested that their
portraits should bo returned to them, for
they heard to t heir surprise from the elders
of tho tribe that persons who are photo
graphed are in a similar condition as if
their souls had been abstracted, and hence
they would bo sure to suffer serious ill
ness. The only way to provide against
this calamity lay in burningall the photo
graphs. Tho people earnestly tried to un
deceive the young men, but without effect,
and they were therefore obliged to give
them their photographs.

For Three Years He Suffered Could
Hardly at Night One Nostril
Closed for Ten Years.
Mr. A. M. Ramsey,of DeLeon. Texas,
was a sufferer from Catarrh in its
worst form. Truly, his description of
his sufferings seem little short of mar
velous. Instead of seeking his couch,
glad for the night’s coming, he went to
it with t«. n or, realizing that another
long, weary, wakeful night and a
struggle to breathe was before liim.
♦ De Leon, Texas.
Messrs. Pros., Savannah, G'a ,
GENTS: 1 l. o e used nearly four bottles of
P. P. P. Iwa , afflicted from the crown of my
head to the soles of my feet. Your P. P. P.
has cured my difficulty of breathing, smother
ing, palpitation of the heart, and has relieved
me of all pain. One nostril was closed for
ten years, but now I can breathe through it
readily.
I have not slept on either side for two years;
in fact, I dreaded to see night come. Now I
sleep soundly in any position all night.
I am 50 years old, but expect soon to be able
to take hold of the plow handles. 1 feel glad
that 1 was lucky enough to get P. P P., and I
heartily recommend it to my friends and the
public generally.
