In evi dence to some extent last season, they promise to bo übiquitous. Not golf-lovers alone, blit all girls who believe in making the most of a fetching fashion, are laying in a goodly supply of t.he article. In cut and finish, set and shape, the bonnets are just like the old-fashioned sunbonnet. There is the same well-stitched or slatted hoo-d, the gathered erbwn, the - full cape and the streamers that tie under the chin or go allying, just as the wearer chooses. Dimity of pure white or rose pink is the material most often chosen, though fabrics with a dainty pattern of their own are also used. The Turkey red golf bonnet is popular, as is but logiepl in a game whose color is scarlet. 'One great charm of the bonnets is that they are so made that a day in the laundry makes them as fresh as ever. The smart thing is to have a bon net to match each shirt waist. So pretty and becoming a species of headgear is by no means relegated to golf alone, however. It is likely to be much worn in the coun try this year, for bicycle riding, not to say strolling and driving. A pretty girl never looks prettier than when her face is in the half shadow of a sunbonnet scoop, and it is to the credit of latter-day fashions that there should be a revival of so fetching a mode.

So much has recently been said on the subject of asphak paying in Macon, being confident that the citizens of Macon would be giad to have (some facts relative to the matter, we present the same today in an interview with Mr. Henry Horne, who represents the Alcatraz company of New York, and the Southern Asphalt Paving Company of Baltimore. Mr. Horne stated that there being a gen eral impression, on account of the low bid made by his company, that first-class material and first-class workmanship could not be given with those prices, to disabuse the minds of those who nave had this idea, that up to four or five years ago an asphalt trust existed, which w-as so strong that the practically dictated prices for ‘that class of paving throughout the United States. In 1894 the Alcatraz Company of Neifr York and the Southern Asphalt Paving Company of Baltimore were organized to fight this trust, and the result has been an improvement in the work formerly done of at‘least 22 1-2 per cent, and a reduc tion in the price of at least 50 per cent, and the smashing of the trust and protec tion of the people. The Bermuda and the Trinidad asphalt are inniorted articles, and are owned by foreign jwrties, to whom a large royalty lias to he paid, which, coupled with the cost of transportation to this country, enters largely into the cost of this article. in the past ten years large deposits of asphalt have been discovered in California, and at this lime there is some 10,000 acres of the same that is owned by Macon par ties, wiio have leased the rights to West ern corporations, who are now paving in Western cities with that material. The Alcatraz Company control the richest de «posit in California, and it has been pro nounced by leading chemists of the United States to be the richest that has yet been discovered. To disabuse the minds of those who have been under the impression that satisfac tory work cannot be done at the low price of our bid, I wish to say that, of the 2.18 per square yard, that has been the price fixed, that $1.03 will have to be expended here at home for concrete, work, grading, surfacing and other incidental expenses connected with the work before the same is ready to receive the asphalt surface. The cost of asphalting being, therefore, $1.15, and at this price, should the property owners on the streets that are now being paved with granite blocks desire asphalt paving over that surface, these streets could he [nit iu first-class condition in as phalt at the above figure. The cost of material to our company being the cost of taking same from the deposits, the cost of the receptacle for holding it, and the cost of transportation to Macon. As brick lias to undergo several pro cesses in its manufacture, and granite has to be cut from the surface, and prepared in the shapes it is to be used, it would ap pear very conclusive that, as to the mate rial. asphalt can be furnished more cheap ly than brick or granite, the cost of put ting the same down being less, and the cost of other matters that enter into pav ing the same for one as the other. If a street had to be resurfaced entire, the cost would only be $1.15 per yard. Under ou’r contract with the city we will be required to keep the pavement in first class condition for five years. After that time, should any repairing be required, the same would lie at an expense of 5 cents per square yard per annum after five years, ahd that expense would not exceed $lO a year for. the average store front, con ditional, of course, that any repairing had to he done, which is not likely, as the ma terial furnished by the Alcatraz Company has proven so durable that the cost of re pairs in cities wher'e the same has been laid has been practically nothing. The company is prepared to prove that ■Alcatraz asphalt stands at the head of paving materials, and that no such fail ures have attended its use as has been the case with the Trinidad asphalt, notwith standing our competitors efforts to im press upon the public the infallibility of their material. One of the greatest advantages that the Alcatraz asphalt has over the others is that it is not subject to disintegration and decay from water and other refuse matter that is constantly falling on the surface from animals. This asphalt with the other asphalts is what has in a large measure, made the same unpopular. And these ad vantages, in the case of Alcatraz asphalt, are what made this pavement so durable and popular, as a constant use of water adds to its durability, and insures perfect cleanliness. The Southern Asphalt Paving Company and the Alcatraz Company invite honest criticism and an investigation of its meth ods and materials, and will not descend to the petty and unscrupulous methods which have been employed by the asphalt mo nopoly. We stand upon our merits in all our ef forts to secure business, will not go be yond the legitimate and open means that obtain between reputable and honest bus iness men. We have nothing to conceal, are willing to take the public- inte our confidence, to give them -all of the facts in connection with the matter, and to say to them that at our prices we expect and will do nothing but the very best class of work, out of which we naturally figure to make a legitimate profit. Conducting our business in this way ai:Al manner, we are satisfied that we will continue to obtain in the future, as we have secured in -the past, the approval of all honest men of the manner in which we conduct our trans actions.

Amusing Sfcarlen Told About a Famous Fire Horse of Boston. Stories of the intelligence displayed by horses in fire departments have been told over and over again, but there is a horse in the Boston fire department that seems to be worthy of a little attention at thi3 time, as ho has about completed tbo days When he can lie used with safety and prob ably will soon go where he will have noth ing to do but kick up bis heels and enjoy himself. This, horse is known to the mem bers of the department .and, indeed, to many of the citizens of Boston as Old Jim, and is now tit the Dartmouth street engine house, where he is an ‘‘emer gency” horse. This means that ho is used when one of t.he regular animals is sick or away being shod or when the condition of the streets demands an horse. The men tell several amusing stories about him and the way ho acts when an alarm is sounded in the engino house, .As soon as tho “tapper” sounds and the stall doors fly opoy Old Jim makes a rush for the floor. As soon as he leaves his stall and gets out on the main floor he hesitates a moment and then rushes to the vacant place as though he understood that he was as likely to have to fill oho position as an other. Another little trick he lias is that of helping himself at tho grain chest when he thinks no ono is around to-see him. Ho will turn nearly around in his stall and with his lips will shake the hook of the rope back of him from the ring in which it is fastened. Then he will back out of the stall and,, going over to the grain closot, will push back the wooden button with his lips, pull tho door open and then, raising tho lid of the grain chest, will help himself. If he hears tho step of one of tho men, he will rush bacl£ to his stall and crouch up in one corner as if ho knew well enough he had been doing something wrong. One of the most surprising stories told about him relates to his actions at a fire in the leather district several years ago. The Btory is vouched for by Captain Mulligan of engine No. 22 and sovoral of his men and, while it may seem hard to believe, those who know tho horse say that it is thoroughly characteristic of him. Previous to this fire Old Jim bad been quartered at tho Fort Hill square engino house, but had been transferred to the Dartmouth street house to take the place of another horse The fire was one that required the services of the Dartmouth street company, and Okl Jim went to it as leader on the three horse team of the engine. When tho sceno of the fire was reached and the men settled to work, the horses were detached from the engine, nnd Old Jim was tied to a lamppost, his two matos being connected with him by the harness. When the fire had been subdued and the men were ready to go back to their house, the driver went over to get his horses, but no horses wore visible. No ono had seen them go, and immediately everybody began a search for the missing team. And where docsf tho reader suppose those horses wero found? Old Jim, remembering his former home in Fort Hill square and perhaps wishing to introduce his companions to bis old mates, had in some way unfastened his tie rein and had towed his two mates to the house in Fort Hill square, where he was found looking round contentedly and apparently enjoying himself immensely. One of his former drivers said recently that when Old Jim was at Fort Hill square he had many a time gone to a fire with the bits hanging from his mouth, but ha seem ed to know just where he was going and only needed the slightest pressure to make him turn in any direction required. So well did he seem to know just where he was wanted to go that the men almost be lieved ho could count the alarms. In fact, a buy did call at the Fort Hill square house one day and asked to see the horse that could count tho box when an alarm was sounded.—Boston Transcript. OASTOHIA.

Major Price Received a Letter From Headquarters or Subject. Mayor Price has received a letter from The headquarters of the National Volun teer Reserve, of New York City, which he does not exactly understand, as the letter refers to one which was evidently written some tjme ago, but which the mayor has never received: To the Mayor of Macon: My Dt-ar Mr. Mayor: In supplement to our letter of a few days since requesting you to open enrolling offices in your city for the National Yolunteeer Reserve, we beg to say that as matters have reached a crisis, and as the governor of your state may want to call for more volunteers than are already in the National Guard of your state, we would suggest that the rolls of men enlisted for the Volunteer Reserve be sent at once to the adjutant general of your state, where they will be available. It will not be necessary to send to us the names of volunteers sent to the adjutant general; only report to us, if you please, ' the number of men furnished to the adju tant general of your state, from your city and vicinity. As we advised you in our former letter, our present desi-re is only that of assisting the National Guards of the several states. We believe you wMI fully coincide with us in the desirability of securing at this time and in the near future, and maintaining as a permanent institution, a roll of all of our available citizens who are ready to defend the coutnry and her flag, so that the war footing of the nation may be as formidable as possible. Our expectation was that this enrollment might have been far more complete than it now is before the first call for troops for active service in the impending-conflict: but that crisis, having now arisen, we cheerfully turn over to the authorities of the several states the further work of not only responding to the present call for troops, but of conducting the organization of the reserves as may be required in the future stages of the con flict in which we are now engaged. If you have not already, or are indispos ed, (to take *u pthis work, he good enough to hand all papers to some patriotic well known person or organization who Will for ward the work. Loyally yours.
