TOADS AND FROdS.
tvme of Ibe Supcritlllmi Ceoctrslaj Them
is Various Placet.
Some traits of "Tbe Mediaeval Toad"
were recounted In a paper written by
Mre. Fiancee M. Butler of Snow HUI.
Md., nud reed by Mre. John O. Wren
eball at the laet monthly meeting of
the Baltimore Folklore Society. In the
time of Sbakeepeare, it eteted, the toad
wae credited with accreting a poleonoua
venom while In biding wblcb It epat
out Indiscriminately at man and beast.
Tbe cattle plague in England and many
mysterloue human deaths were attri
buted to the work of the toad. The
eplder waa supposed to equal tbe toad
In venom, but In these days toade eat
eplders with apparently Impunity.
The American toad Mre. Butler
etated, le laraer, not so dark, and more
agile than Its English brother. Toads
are Imported Into England from Aus
tria. packed In moss, and sold at (IS
or (20 a hundred.
In physic tbe toad, or part of It, bee
always been credited with great pow
ers. For Instance, tbe right eye of a
frog wrapped In russet cloth and bung
nround the neck wna supposed to cure
the right eye of the wearer of Weari
ness. The same was true of the left
eye of the frog for the left eye of the
wearer. A tond, dead or alive, placed
at the back of the neck was supposed
to stop nose bleed. Dried and powder
ed, the frog wna supposed to be an
lrreslstable love philter.
It Is related of the American Indnns
that they believed that a council of the
gods was held for producing light at
night, Tbo whippoorwill made the
moon out of a large frog, nud the cold
ness of the moon Is attributed to the
frogs natural coldness.
Another tradition related of savage
trlhea Is Hint the toad quarrelled with
the woodpecker and caused the De
luge. It Is said that they disputed
over honey which the toad was In
duced to climb a tree In order to ob
tain. Then tbe woodpecker knocked
the toad out of the tree, and In re-
Tenge tbe toad drank up all the wat
er on earth, leaving the blrda dry
and thirsty. In a subsequent quarrel
the toad Incautiously danced about,
hurst, aud the water covered the earth
In a flood.
In Maryland tho Wte of the toad la
considered poisonous If not deadly. An
old superstition Is that handling toads
will cause warts to grow on tbo hands.

PROHIBITION QUESTION
Will Not lt Submitted to Georgia Votiri
In Mitj rj'iniiry.
By a practically unanimous vote the
Georgia Democratic state executive
committee, at its meeting in Atlanta,
refused tho suggestion to submit tho
question of state prohibition to a vote
of tho people at the May primary on
the ground that the committee had no
jurisdiction over the matter.
The appearance of two of the lead
ing prohibitionists of the state—Colo
nel 0. B. Pringle, of Sandersville, and
Judge Alvin Freeman, of Coweta—be
fore the committee when it was called
to order came in the uatnre of a sur

ietH of Georgia had determined to pre

GUILTY OF WIFE MURDER.
Hiram Sharp Sentenced to Hang
at Decatur. Ga., On
April 9th Next.
Hiram Sharp, charged with murder
ing his wife, wa* declared guilty by a
jury iu the'DeKalb county, Ga., supe
rior court. There was no recommen
dation for mercy and Judge John 8.
Candler sentenced the convicted man
to hang on the morning of April 9th
between the hours of 11 and 1 o’clock.
Sharp’s attorney gave notice of a
motion for anew trial and the hearing
on thia motion will be heard in Deca
tur on the morning of the 31st of this
month. The prisoner heard his sen
tence with a stolid countenance.
The murder for which Hiram Sharp
waa convicted and sentenced to hang
occurred on the 6th of December.
Sharp and his wife were not living to
gether at the time, Mrs. Sharp being
at the home of her mother in a little
cabin abont five miles from Lithonia.
On the morning m question Sharp
went to the house armed with a shot
gun. After heaping abuse on the two
women he jerked his wife into the
yard.
Her mother ran ont and the man
fired the contents of one of the barrels
of his gun at the women. Both were
struck by the shot. The old woman
ran back into the home, and as her
daughter started to follow, Sharp fired
the contents of the other barrel into
his wife's body. She fell dead in the
doorway. This, in snbstance, was
the statement made by the mother at
the trial.
Sharp’s defense was that the shot
was accidental, and was caused by tbe
mother of his wife running into the
yard and catching hold of him and his
wife when they had started away. Af
ter the accidental shot killed his wife,
he says that he deliberately fired the
contents of the other barrel at his
mother-in-law.

RECEIVER FOR PAPER MILLS.
Mftrlcttm Company Will tin Reorganised
a* Result of Friendly Litigation.
The Marietta, Ga , paper mills, one
of the largest concerns of its kind in
the south, nnd one of the few which is
said not be controlled by tho paper
trust, has been placed in the haudn of
* temporary receiver by Jndge W. T.
Newmau, of the United States eourt.
At the time of the appointment of
the receiver Judge Newman issued an
order giving the receiver power to
borrow 810,000 to pay the floating
debts of the concern. Moultrie M.
Sessions, of Marietta, was named as
temporary receiver nnd has assumed
charge of the affairs of the company.
It is stated by the attorneys for tho
trustee that all of the unsecured debts
will be paid aud that none of the cred
itors will lose by the litigation.
The cause of the receivership was
the failure of the company to pay the
interest on an issue of 875,000 of
bonds for which I>. Robinson is trus
tee. The interest became due in June
of last year and amounts to something
like 82,000.
The result of the litigation will be

REFUSED TO CONCUR
House Does Not Agree With Sen
ate On Porto Rican Bill.
CHAIRMAN CANNON STANDS FIRM
Insists On Original Provision—Democrats,
However. Were Willing to Avoid
Further Delay.
A Washington special says: The
bonse Monday refused to concur in
the senate amendments to the Porto
Rican relief bill. The Democrats sup
ported a motion to concur on the
ground that it would avoid farther de
lay iu extending relief to the inhabi
tants of the island, bat the Republi
cans stood firmly behind Chairman
Cannon in his demand that the houEe
should insist upon its original provis
ion to appropriate not only the money
collected on Porto Rican good* up to
January Ist, but all subsequent mon
eys collected or to be collected.
When the Porto Rican appropria
tion bill was called np Mr. Cannon
moved that the house uou-concur in
the senate amendinenta and Mr. Mc-
Rae, of Arkansas, moved concurrence.
Mr. Cannon explained the changes
made in the bill by the senate.
Mr. Mcltae said that the essential
difference betweeu the two bills was
that the house affirmed the right ol
the United to impose the Dingley
rates agaiuat Porto Rico, whereas the
senate provision upon this subject was
indefinite.
Members on both sides, he said,
were agreed that tbe duties collected
ou Porto Rican goods should be re
turned, the Democrats taking the po
sition that there should be absolute
free trade between the island and the
United States. (Democratic applause.)
Mr. Bell, of Colorado, also advo
cated concurrence in the senate
amendments.
Mr. Moody, of Massachusetts, and
Mr. McCleaiy, of Minnesota, advo
cated Mr. Cannon's motion, declaring
that the Porto Rican tariff bill pro
posed to treat the people of the island
better thau the people of any territory
of the United States were ever treated.
Mr. Swanson of Virginia denounced
the Porto Rican tariff bill as “infa
mous" and said the ponding bill to
give back tbe duties collected under
the Dingley law was an attempt to su
gar-coat tbe outrage. The power to
fix the duties on goods coming into
and going from this country was the
power exercised by England prior to
tbe revolution an divas one of the main
reasons why the colonies threw off the
yoke.
The motion to concur was lost, 86
to 116, a strict party vote, except that
Mr. Thayer, Democrat, of Massachu
setts, voted with the Republicans.
The motion to non concur then pre
vailed without division. The speaker
appointed Messrs. Cannon, Moody
and Mcßae conferees on the part of
tho house.

Browning's Ceorteijr to Servant

people or was the servant of otners.
On one occasion his son Barrett had
hired a room In a neighboring bouse to
exhibit his pictures, and. In the tem
porary absence of the artist, Mr.
Browning was doing the honors to a
roomful of fashionable friends. He
was standing near the door when an

with her, greeting her as he did the
other arrivals.
"Oh, I beg pardon,” she exclaimed,
“but, please, sir. I’m the cook. Mr.
Barrett asked me to come and see bis
pictures.”
“And I'm very glad to see you,” re
turned Mr. Browning, with ready
courtesy. “Take my arm and I will see
you round.”
