THE GEORGIA LEGISLATURE,
Important Hills That Have Keen Passed
During the Present Nossion.
Atlanta, Dec. 14.—Aftor 49 days ol
hard work tho Georgia legislature will
adjonrn next Saturday and the member;
will return to their homes.
Many bills of importance have beer
acted upon nt this session in tho house.
Among these nre tho general appropria
tion bill setting asido $2,838,000 for the
support and maintenance of the stute
government and tho several public in
stitutions during tho next two year*
the general tax bill, carrying an increase
of l.bo mills over this year on account
of increased appropriations, indigent
Pensions, widows 1 pensions, luuatio asy
lums and other appropriations. The tax
rato for 1800 is 4.54, while the rato for
1897 will be 11.21. These two bills are
now in tho senate and must be disposed
of this week. The house has also passed
tho woman’s librarian bill, whioh has
passed the senate and will become a law
as soon as tho governor signs it.
Tho work of the senate has been trans
acted with a dispatch seldom seen. The
bill to make judges aud solicitors elec
tive by the people was defeated, while
the antibarroom bills go over uutil the
next sessiou. Appropriation and tax
bills will be considered in tho senate for
the remainder of the week, while the
charges that corrupt judges havo been
elected by the legislature, brought by
the Hon. Yancey Garter, are still pend
ing iu the senate.
New York, Dec. 15.—The Hernld’s
special cable dispatoh from Havana
gives the following accouut of an inter
view with General Weyler:
“Wlmtcau yon say of President Cleve
land's mossago?”
“Nothing, absolutely nothing. I am
a military man, not a politician. I can
only say I have no feeling against Mr.
Cleveland or nny other president."
Captain General Weyler was naked to
express an opinion of tho merits of Gen
eral Antonio Mooeo. He said: “Maceo
was a bravo man and, I thought, a great
general until the Piuar del Rio cam
paign. Today I believe him to have
boeon a bravo mau of great prestige, n
lighter all the way through, and a mail
who cannot bo roplaood by the insur
gents—in fact: ho was their mainstay—
and Gomez, who is an old man, would
not have ccme to (Juba at all oxcopt for
Maceo.”
Speaking agnin of Maceo, General
Wey.er said ho regarded the rebel leudor
ns the most important person of tho in
surrection, and he added:
"I wont to Pinnr del Rio myself to
oope with him, ami thought he would
await mo in his positions, which he did
not.”

OLD MAN DELK CONVICTED
The Slayer or Sheriff Otrlnn Sentenced t«
Uang on Jan. 27,
Zebdlon, Ga., Dec. 12.—The jury in
the case of Taylor Delk, charged with
tho murder of Sheriff Gwiun, returned
a verdict of guilty. The jury had been
deliberating for 24 hours, and it wai
generally b< evod to be hung.
The attorneys for the defense took
this ns a good sign for tho old man, the
difficulty in finding a verdict being iu
strong contrast to the vory quick way in
which lie was couvictoil in his former
trial.
The old man bore up woll under the
strain and showed no nervousness. He
seemed to beootne more hopeful of his
, howovor, and appoared to see in
tho lengthened absence of the jury
hope of ovuding the gullows.
When the jury returned, owing to the
long time occupied in considering the
case, it was expected that a mistrial
would bo declared. Tho verdict, how
ever, w’as guilty, without recommenda
tion, and the judge sentenced tho aged
criminal to hang on Jau. 27.

and other spinning industries, etc., for
a variety of commercial purposes, and
it is this material which is tho basis of
artificial silk.
Tho prooess of preparation of this fluid
is a purely chemical one. It is in the
subsequent treatment of tho fluid and its
conversion into a toxtilo liber that thn
main interestoentors, from nn industrial
point of view. This process is shown iu
operation upon a machine whioh is a
inodiiioation of the ordinary flier spin
ning frame. Tho fluid, a muddy, yel
lowish substanoe, isooutained iu a glass
jar, from whioh it is oonveyed through
pipes to u r»w of small bout glass tubes,
eaoh having an extremely lino nozzle
or orifice. Those tubes are arranged in
a hollow trough of water, the orifice be
ing beneath tho water level. As tho
fluid loaves the nozzlo the wator removes
00 por oont of tho solvent, nud the fluid
immediately coagulutos aud it is druwn
.off in u remarkably fine filament of
brilliunt luster and, wheq dry, of great
est tenacity. Half a dozen suoh fliu-
ments are gathered together and spnn.
The yarn can be spun to any thickness
of oouut, and a thread, it is claimed, is
of even diameter throughout, unbroken,
and it may be produced of unlimited
length.
Tho artificial silk will stand washing
uud ironing without losing luster or
without any impairment of oolor.
A company has been formed to mau-
nfaotnro it, with a capital of £108,000.
Its works are near Manchester, Eng-
luud. Tho samples now on exhibition at
tho Commercial museums Rhow all thn
patterns that have as yet been turned
out. It is believed that samples of this
fabric aro to be seen nowhere else iu
this country.
It is being turned out iu England for
the South American markets nt a prioo
of Bj^ ponce (19 cents) per yard, and tho
fabrio is rnudo of a uniform width of
19>4 inches. It seems likely that tho
new wood silk will oomo into gonerul
use for goods in whioh an attractive up-
pearnnoo is moro desired than lasting
qualities, suoh as friugo, bruid, gimp,
neokties, etc.—Philadelphia Ledger.
Grant and the Phrenologist.
Of this furnous fucideut there are two
versions. Tho father’s story runs thus:
"Whou Ulysses wns about 12 years
old, tbe first phrenologist who evor
made his appearance in thut purt of the
country came to our neighborhood. One
Drr Buckner, in order to test the accu
racy of tho phrenologist, asked him if ho
would be blindfolded and examino a
head. Tho phrenologist replied that ho
would. So they blindfolded him, and
then brought Ulysses forward to have
his head exumiuod.
‘‘Ho felt it all over for some timo
saying to himself: ‘It is no very com
mou head. It is an extraordinary headl
At length Dr. Buckner broko in with
the inquiry whothor the boy would b(
Jikoly to distinguish himself in matbe
matios.
"Yes,” said the phrenologist,
mathematics or anything else. It wonld
not bo strange if we should soo him
president of the United Statos.”
The villugo version of tho incident is
quite different. With all his shrewdness
and energy, the neighbors say, there
was a strain of singular guilelessness in
Jesse Grunt. He was credulous and situ-
plo—iu tho old meaning of the word
simple.
Aocording to their report, Dr. Buck-
ner was only putting up a practical joks
on his neighbor Grunt. As the timid
and blushing Ulyssus was pushed for
ward to tho platform the crowd begun
to titter, and tho quick witted lecturer
seized upon the situation. — Hurnlin

A Blunt Young Queen.
Here aro three stories of the young
queen of Hollaud, i.'luslralive of hot
outspoken frankness. When she was
told of tho atrocities of tho Duke of Al
ya and of the cruel policy of the Span
ish kings toward her country, she be
oame indignant aud exclaimed, “I am
very angry, and after that the king of
Spain must never oxpeot that 1 shall in
vito him to uiy court. ” Sho speaks out
aud fears no ouo. Her fruukness has
sometimes caused her to regret her
words. For instance, on one occasion
she was sitting to the. painter Josselin
do Jougo, when sho exclaimed to her
mother in French, "Mother, this evor-
1 acting painter will boro me to death!”
After a fow moments the painter stop
ped aud iu the best of French said,
"That will do for today.” Whou asked
by the Prince of Walos during her visit
to England how she liked the English
people, she replied that she was aston
ished at their being so nice and amiable.

the specimens 1 have seen in Holland”

the princo greatly.
What the Study of the Bands Tells.
Palmists say that Iqng fingers are a
sign of refinement A short, stubby hand
argues a lack of sensibility; a thin
thumb, rather small, denotes weakness.
Strength of character is shown by the
thumb asserting itself over the other
fingers. If tho thumb curves backward,
its owner ia obstinate.—Ladies’ Home
