Bicycle dealers must pay ten dol
lars tax, and the same amount is

the important general changes
.
Here is an estimate of the chick
en crop: There are about 850,000, -
000 chickens in the United States.
They produce each year about 14,-
000,000,000 eggs, which represents
$175,000,060,000. Besides, $160,-
000,000 worth of poultry is eaten
in the country during the year,
and the value of the living hens,
at 20 cents apiece, is figured at
$150,000,000. Thus, the hen
etande for about $355,000,000 in
the yearly economies of the United
States.
Wireless. . telegraphy between
Hcnolulu and the various islands
of the Hawaiian group will be in
practical operation next Thurs

showing everything is in perfect
order, have been made. On
Thureday commercial messages

and accessories will include all 'of
the islands except Kauai. There
are three stations, one at Honolu
lu, one at Hilo, and one one the
island of Lania. Lania is a con
necting station between the two
others. By means of a cable,
messages can be sent from Lanai
to the island of Mauni. By this
means and by telephone all the
itlands of the group will now he
in close communication.
A good joke is told on a certain
minister of the gospel who likes
to trade horses by way of recrea
tion. By some means the preach
er’came into possession of a horse
that wouldn’t pull at all when he
came to a hill. The parson found
a purchaser, who inquired particu
larly as to age, condition and qual
ities of the parson’s steed. At last
he asked if he was a tried puller.
“It would do your soul good to see
him pull,” was the enthusiastic
reply. The trade was made, and
in a few days the owner came back
and claimed the parson had mis
represented ‘the qualities of the
animal. “I told you it would do
your soul good to see him pull.”’
The purchaser saw the point and
dropped the subject.
Wives should remember as a

: HANNA AND CLAY.
Senator A. 8. Clay, of Georgia,
'is evidently terribly in earnest in
his opposition to Senator Hanna’s
‘pet. measure, the sWipsubsidy bill.
He has fought it on the floor of
the senate ever since it was intro
duced by Mr. Frye, and whenever
it is mentioned his hair is said to
rise like the bristles of a poren
pine.
~ Senator Clay is the acknowl
edged leader of the opposition to
the ship subsidy bill, and the ad
vocates of that infamous meagure
are beginning to realize that they
have on their hands the fight of
their lives. According to a Wash
ington dispatch, Senator Hanna
has undertaken, by soft words and.
tender cajoler’es, to take some of
the fight out of the Georgia sena
tor, but without any sign of en
couragement. It 18 said that the
‘Ohio statesman called on Senator
Clay Monday afternoon and urged
the opponent of the ship subsidy
bill to permit the measure to he
put on its passage. He said if the
bill is not passed at this session
an extra session of congress will
be called after March 4th to act
on the bill. Senator Clay told
him the opponents of the measure
would not cease their fight on the
bill and would debate it until the
ssnate and the country thoroughly
understand the unfairness of the
proposition. Senator Hanna is
greatly worried over the situation.
He says the people expect the bill
to be passed at this session, but
the Georgia senator and those of
his colleagues who share his views
are obdurate,
The proposed ship subsidy meas
ure is one of the most iufamous
pieces of legislation which mem
bers of congress have ever at
tempted to foist upon the coun
try. The uncompromising oppo
sition of men like Senator Clay is
justified, and we hope to see them
fight the Hanna crowd to a stand
still, despite the threat of an ex
tra session.—Albany Herald.
DR. McAULEY’S GRIEYANCE,
Herbert H. McAuley, of Chica
go, who recently returned to the
United States from South Africa,
where he was engaged in the Red
Cross service. writes from Mari
etta, regarding his claim for $lOO,-
000 indemnity against the Pcortu
guese government for alleged false
imprisonment. that in accordance
with instructions from the state
department, where he was cordi
ally received, he is having the
proper affidavits made out.
The Marietta correspondent, Mr.
Fred Morris, of the Atlanta Jour
nal, quotes Dr. McAuley as fol
lows: ‘At Lorenzo Marques,
where I expected to take ship for
home, I was arrested and marched
to jail. The same evening I sent
word to Mr. Hollis, the American
censul, who refused to come or in
any way to interfere or intercede
in my behalf. After two days in
prison I wasinformed that I wounld
be released, provided I remam in
the company of an officer until 1
sailed. 1 declined and was or
dered to the police barracks, a
prison for political offenders.
The govenor of Lorenzo Mar
ques personally again offered my
release conditionally. T again de
clined and returned to prison.
- T again appealed to the gover
nor to allow me to be released un
‘conditionally, or given a fair trial,
or cable onr minister at Lisbon,
‘all of which was denied and the
guard was ordered to carry me
[aboard the transport.
I was not allowed to appeal to
lthe British consul. Despite the
protests of the guard, however, we
went to the consul, who first re
fused to interfere, but after show
‘ing him a letter which convinced
him of my services, he made a re
quest of the governor-general and
his request was granted. 1 was
raturned to the prison again until
‘the first vessel for Europe. when I
‘was furnished a first class ticket
and a sum of money, the money
‘having been sent to me by the
‘Boer commander, Gen. Botha, 1
'was not permitted to get any of
{ my persoual effects or property.”
Recently a juror in Judge John
S. Candler’s court in Atlanta ask
ed to be relieved of duty because
his interpretation of the Bible
would not permit him to convict
anyone of any crime. The court
stated that he would excuse the
gentleman hecause he did not ap
pear to possess the first requisite
of a good juror—intelligence.
| PAYS TO BE POLITE.
On Christmas day the general
manager of the Wabash system
distributed among the employes
of the “several roads belonging to
the system a circniar which con
tained the following appropriate
suggestions:
- **The popularity of the road de
pends upon the character, conduct
and courtesy of its employes. The
management cannot make the road
popular—that is left to the rank
and file, those who are brought in
daily contact with the public.
They must be courtecus and at
tentive to the road’s patrons, never
forgetting that every dollar the
railroad company receives comes
from the public, and we must
please the public if we wish to re
tain its patronage.’’
Employes of all railrcad compa
nies would find it would be to their
interest to read the circular of this
general manager and medel their
conduct upon the adviece given
those in the employ of the Wabash.
It costs nothing to be polite. It
is the imperative duty of those
employed by railway and other
corporations to be so, and when
they are the husiness of their com
panies issure to increase. The
courteous treatment of the public
by the Wabash accounts for its
great success of late vears.—Rome
Tribune.
An act passed by the legislature
recently in session amendatory of
an act of section 8667 of the code
of ‘Georgia of 1895, known for
merly as the Twitty bill, has at
tracted comment among money
lenders and bankers. The section
as amended reads: ‘‘Obligations
to pay attorneys’ fees upon any
note or other evidence of indebt
edness, in addition to the interest
specified thereon, are void, and no
court shall enforce such agreement
to pay attorneys’ fees, unless the
debtor shall fail to pay such debt
on or before the return day of the
court to which suit is brought for
the collection of the same; pro
vided, the holder of the obligation
sued upon, his agent or attorney
notifies the defendant in writing
ten days before suit is brought of
his intention to bring suit, and
also the term of the court to which
suit will be brought.”’
Under the Burleigh bill as pass
ed Tuesday, no state loses a rep
resentative, and the following
make gains: Illinois, New York
and Texas, three each ; Minuesota,
New Jersey and Pennsylvania, two
each, and Arkansas, California,
Colorado, Connecticut, Florida,
Massachusetts, Mississippi, Mis
souri, North Carolina, North Da
kota, Washington, West Virginia,
and Wisconsin, one each. The
membership of the house is in
creased from 357 to 886.

Getting
is all right, if you are too fat;
and all wrong, if too thin already.
Fat, enough foryour habit, is
healthy; a little more, or less, is
no great harm. Too fat, consult
a doctor; too thin, persistently
thiz, no matter what cause, take
Scott’s Emulsion of Cod Liver
Oil.
There are many causes of get
ting too thin; they all come
under these two heads: over
work and under-digestion.
Stop over-work, if you can;
but, whether you can or not,
take Scott’s Emulsion of Cod
Liver Oil, to balance yourself
with your work. Youcan’t live
on it—true—but, by it, vou
can. There’s a limit, however;
you’ll pay for it.
Scott’s Emulsion of Cod Liver
Oil 1s the readiest cure for
“can’t eat,” unless itcomes of
your doing no work--you can’t
long be well and strong, without
some sort of activity.
