Atlanta, Ga.—The general assembly
of Georgia will convene on June 24.
This is not the legislature which has
just been elected, out the second and
last session oi the legislature sworn
in one year ago.
Stuce the last session, five members
have been removed by deatn, Sena,or
Akin of Bartow, and Representatives
Williams of LaurenB, Neel of Bartow,
Way of Puiaskl, and Galloway of Wal
ton. The successors of each have been
chosen and will appear to begin their
duties on the firsi uay of the session.
Senator Akin was the presiding offi
cer of the tsnate, and his deata will
necessitate the choice of his successor
as tile first business before the sen
ate. Several names have been men
tioned for the place, among them sen
ator Martin of Wultfield, Senator
Hardman of Jackson, and Senator
Steed of Carroll.
Honorable John M. Slaton will be
iu the speaker’s chair in the house of
representatives.
A number of Important mutters
were left over from the last session,
and will promptly enguge the atiention
of the law makers.
The firdt business which will come
up Is known as house bill No. 3, or tfle
lull authorizing the continuance of the
Western and Atlantic railroad to the
sea,
Tiie anti-pass bill will also be one of
the important measures uefore me as
sembly. The present regulation on
the subject of free passes is merely an
order of the railroad commission,
which can he revoked or changed by
the present or subsequent commis
sions at any time.
The antl-lobbylng bill of Representa
tive Wright of Floyd was pending at
the time of adjournment of the last
session. Mr. Wright's bill had ulreudy
passed the house, and he will endeavoi
to have it pass the ss.^te at the ap
proaching session.
Another important bill which is
pending Is that of Representative Al
exander of DeKalb, which seeks to re
vise the laws regarding the incorpora
tion of railroads. One feature ot the
bill Is to secure the domestication of
foreign companies.
Still another important question is
treated In pending bills of Representa
tive Boykin Wright of Augusta, and
others on the subject of regulating
primary and other eletclons. A feature
of this proposed legislation is to pre
vent certain contributions In political
campaigns, and to require candidates
to give an account of their expendi
tures and the sources from which the
contributions are derived.
A most important mattter which
will occupy the attention of the leg
islature under the head of new matter
will be the disposition of the state
convicts. The five-year lease of the
convicts will expire before the next
session of the legislature a year from
now, and it will be necessary for the
approaching session to solve the ques-
; tion. That there will be a number of
views as to the solution Is certain.
Another matter of interest will be
the bill which will be introduced by
Representative Shaw of Clay, making
the commissioner of pensions, who is
now appointed by the governor, elec
tive by the people.
Representative Shaw, together with
Representative McIntyre of Thomas,
i will also present a bill to make final,
in the superior courts of the state, ver
dicts involving not more than $300.
It Is probable that the legislature
will be asked *to make an appro
priation to secure an expert forester
to visit the section surrounding the
Ducktown, Tenn., copper works and
make an examination of the present
condition of vegetation.

make a thick mucilage by boiling a

of white flannel wet with the mixture.
Do not wet the gloves through.
Another good way Is to take n fine,
clean, soft cloth; dip It into a little
sweet milk; then rub it on a cake of
sonp, and rub the gloves with It. They
will look like new.
Aged Confederate Veteran Loses His
Life While Bathing.
Savannah, Ga.—General Peter A. S.
McGlashan lost his life late while

General McGlashin was born In Ed
Inburgh, Scotland, May 19, 1830. In
1848 he emigrated to America, and
eight years tater he joined General
Walker in his Nicaraguan filibuster.
! He enlisted in the confederate servioe,
. rising in rank to brigadier general, his
I commission in that rank being the last
signed by President Davis before the
i fall of Richmond.
General McGlashan was wounded In
i the battle of Sharpshurg and Cedar
i Creek.
Burning Sulphur.
There Is no better, or surer way of
getting rid of insects In the walls than
by burning sulphur in the room. Sul
phur candles for the purpose can tie
had of the druggist, and before light
ing should be set in some vessel that
will protect the room from catching
fire on (he floor. After lighting, sot
the candle where II may lie seen from
the key hole, as it may "go out,” and
need re-llglulug. The fumes of sulphur
will corrode ull metals; will kill all
plant life, und sometimes Injure pa
pers; all such things should be re
moved. Bureau drawers, closets, ward
robes, should be left open, and bed
ding and clothing should lie thrown
loosely over chairs. Every crack or
other opening should lie stuffed so the
room will lie ns nearly air-tight as pos
sible. Leave lightly closed for a' least
24 hours.—The Commoner.
Homemade Laundrv Soap.
Mrs. H. M. sends in the following
directions for making “the best soap
I ever used.”
Measure 12 quarts of rainwater; put
six quarts of this into a large Iron
or copper kettle and put over the fire.
When it comes to a good boll, add five
pounds of any kind of grease, from
clean tallow to cracklings from which
the lard has been fried, and lei this
boil a few minutes until it gets well
warmed, stirring; then add gradually
the contents of one box of potash (con
centrated lye). Have previously dis
solved in one oart of the water al
ready measured, four ounces each of
borax and sal soda, and when the soap
has boiled until it “ropes” off the pad
dle on being lifted, (usually about half
an >mr, but be sure to give It plenty
of time) add the borax and soda, stir
ring well, and then gradually stir In
(lie remaining five quarts of the cold
water. This must be thoroughly stirred
into the soap. Then nour the soan in
to any vessel or mold and allow It to
cool, when it can lie cut Into bars or
“chunks" and allowed to dry thor
oughly in the air. The soap should not
be uspd for several weeks, until It has
had tlmp to "ripen.”—The Common
er.
AT THE HEAD OF THE PROCESSION
Four Prominent Georgians to Go to
Democratic Convention at Denver.
Atlanta, Ga.—It has definitely been
decided that Col. Albert H. Cox, Tho
mas W. Loyless, editor of the Augusta
Chronicle, Peter W. Meldrim of Savan
nah, and Col. W. S. West of Valdosta,
former president of the state senate,
will be the delegates to the democratic
convention at Denver.
Recipes.
French Rolls—Into one quart of
flour stir a little salt, one tablespoon-
f< 1 of good yeast, one-half pint of
milk and two eggs. Knead well and
set to rise. Next morning add one
ounce of butter and make the’ dough
Into small rolls and bake.
Toasted Croutons—Cut any crusts
of scrans of bread left over into neat,
uniform pieces about half an inch
square, put on a baking tin and set
in the oven. Watch closely, shaking
the pan frequently ns you would a
corn popper, until they are delicately
browned. Always manage to brown
your croutons when your oven is
heated for something else.
Yound Cake—Mix a pound of sugar
with 3-4 pound butter. When worked
white, stir in the yolks of 8 eggs beat
en to a froth, then the whites; add a
pound of sifted flour anil mace or nut
meg to the taste. If you wish to have
your cake particularly nice, stir In,

1-4 oounils of citron or almonds
blanched aud powdered fine in rose
water.
Pancakes—Stir a quart of milk grad
ually into a quart of flour, put in a
teaspoonful of salt and seven beaten
eggs. Drop them by I fie large spoonful
into hot lard and fry them till a very
light-brown color. They are the light
est fried in a great deal of fat, but less
greasy if friend in just fat enough to
keep them from sticking to the frying
pan. Serve them with liquid pudding
sauce.
Sally Lunn—Put together one cup
ful of sugar and one-half a cupful of
butter and lard mixed, and beat
slightly. Add two eggs and beat again
until thick and creamy. Now pour in

pound of salt fish flaked allow one
pound white hominy cooked, one tea
spoonful salt, half a teaspoonful pep
per, one quart milk, with a slice of
onion boiled In the milk, two table
spoonfuls dripping or butter and two
t.ablespoonfuls flour and butter cooked

lngo and lastly fish and hominy. This
makes enough for a large family.

PASTOR FINDS A MORAL IN
WRECK OF HIS OWN HAPPINESS
Robbed oi Bride by Drowning Accident, the Rev. Mr. Yrooman Says It Was In
tended For His Regeneration-Sermon Takes Place oi Wedding Invitations—
On Day Set For Marriage Clergyman Tells ot His Bitter Struggle With Despair.
Wlnthrop, Mass. — Miss Alice C.
Loud, of Roxbury, who was drowned
here three weeks ago, was to have
been married to the Rev. Hiram Vroo-
man, of Providence. Instead of the
wedding Invitations thnt. would have
been sent Mr. Vrooman lias gathered
about him his philosophy and Issued
something like a sermon, his be
reavement serving ns the text.
The essence of his reflections on
the tragic event is that the young
woman perished, by divine will, In
order that he might be purified by
fire and proceed further upon the
road to regeneration by being given
a perception of Ills own worldllnoss.
The statement, or sermon, reads:
‘‘To-day was to have been the day
or my marriage to Alice C. Loud,
whoso sudden death by drowning oc
curred three weeks ago to-day. It Is
true that from all earthly points of
view this providential occurrence Is
altogether Inexplicable, but when
spiritually considered there Is suffi
cient explanation to dispel every
doubt of its beneficence.
"Both practically and Ideally Miss
Loud seemed to be bringing to me
the largest measure of personal satis
faction that this world has in store
for any man. She was bringing not
only the most devoted and purest
feminine affection that was ever re
vealed to me in a woman, but alao
that complex of countless physical,
mental and spiritual values which
promised to multiply my usefulness.
‘‘At first, upon learning what had
happened, all my ardent love for
her, which had already given me the
rarest happiness that I had ever ex
perienced, turned, as it were, against
me to torture me with vague anxieties
for her and indescribable pity. Fol
lowing this, and second only to It by
way of contributing to my suffering,
was the despair of personal disap
pointment. Apparently, I had been
deprived of that one satisfaction
without which nothing else besides
could be satisfying.
"A belief that has not been weak
ened by doubts in the fact of the di
vine providence, and which has been
Inclusive of the unquestioning con
viction that whut the Lord had done
was for the best and permanent in
terest of every one of us concerned,
has given a certain Interior peace
and sense of security, even while the
external or natural affections were
being tortured and tempest torn.
"Indeed, the suffering has been
tempered and greatly modified by
these counteracting influences from
within. It haB seemed to me at
times, and I have permitted myBelf
to believe, that I was sensible of a
work being wrought by the Lord In
my ruling love, causing It to become
a little more unselfish than it had
formerly been. Indeed, It Is the res
urrection of less selfish loves from
more selfish loves In such times as
this that verifies the revelations in
the word of God of immortality, and
confirms the certainty of the resur
rection of the beautiful unselfish girl
whom I loved and still continue to
love.
“I am thankful beyond measure
that I have experienced not the slight
est feeling of rebellion against the
unalterable fact. My suffering has
been a revelation to me of the great
distance that I have yet to go in the
regeneration. I have felt uncon
cerned whether I live or die. I feel
sure that I am suffering less and re
ceiving greater spiritual blessing
from it than many persons who have
sustained similar loss.”
INDUSTRIAL WORK UNSEXING WOMEN.
Future of Race Depends Upon Checking Evil, Hays Medical So*
clety Speaker,
Chicago.—The subject of women
In the workaday world was the chief
theme before the meeting here of the
American Academy of Medicine. Sev
eral men physicians road papers de
ploring the fact that too many wom
en unsexed themselves by forsaklug
home life for Industrial work, and as
serting that the future of the race de
pended upon the checking of “this
wldespreadlng evil.”
Dr. Helen C. Putnam, of Provi
dence, startled the audience by de
claring she was In favor of woman
suffrage. “Every woman,” she said,
“has the right to develop her best
faculties, to become educated, and to
enter a business field, where she
meets many men, so she can select
the father tor her children. I favor
establishing a study of ‘home-mak
ing’ In the public schools of our coun
try.”
Dr. Emma Culbertson, of Boston,
said: "Co-operation of the two sexes
alone Is needed to settle the question
of the place of women In business
life.”
Conditions had changed during the
last hundred years. Dr. Edward Jack-
son, of Denver, asserted, and women
dross by Dr. Herbert Burrell, of Bos
ton, president-elect, on “A New Duty
of the Medical Profession—the Edu
cation of the Public In Scientific Med
icine.” He said In part:
“At present I believe that physi
cians are too conventional in their
methods of treating disease. They
have not paid sufficient attention to
the alleviation of the suffering that
accompanies some of the incurable
maladies.”
Doctor’s Tribute to the Press.
Dr. Burrell advocated educating
the public in sanitation, and urged
extensive publicity for all questions
of hygiene. He said:
"The medical profession and many
of the public are afraid of the press.
I nover had occasion to appeal to the
press for assistance and co-operation
in any public measure without re
ceiving hearty, but at times, to my
mind, indiscreet, assistance. News
papers will publish what they think
the public wants to know, but not
what we think .the public ought to
know. They assume, quite properly,
the right of decision. The greatest
power that we can have to diffuse in
formation Is the public press. Let us
“ Change thelr be frank with it and I believe that it
habits and occupations.
Better Kervants Than Shop Girls.
Dr. Otto Juettner, of Cincinnati,
said: "The lack of housewives and
domestic servants Is disrupting so
ciety and home life. I have no sym
pathy with women who work in
stores or other Industrial institutions
for starvation wages, when there are
thousands of homeB in which they
can get respectable employment bet
ter fitting themselves for married life.
Women competing with men simply
lower the wage scale, cause a lack of
support by men and a tendency to
ward singleness.”
Dr. George Hoxle, of Kansas City,
declared It to be a deplorable fact
that teachers In public schools re
ceived less wages than hodcarrlers.
At the first general meeting of the
American Medical Association for
scientific discussion here the chief
feature of the program was an ad-
wlll almost invariably be honest with
us.”
Charles Harrington, M. D., of Bos
ton, took for his subject “States’
Rights and the National Health," and
suggested that the movement for na
tional control of the public health
should be focussed either into a de
partment “represented In the Cab
inet or of a division of an existing
department with a commissioner for
a chief.”
