Connolly, Chief of Police of Atlanta, has received a present which he values very highly.

The present was made by Thomas W. Chandler. Chief Con nolly will use the stirrups only on state occasions. The Gate City Guard, of Atlanta, will not go to Europe this summer. This is settled beyond a doubt. At the meeting Thursday night the decision was made. The attend ance was large, os it was known that the question wi uld be irrevocably decided one way or the other. Most of the members were outspoken in their determination to make the tour. They had paid in their money, had prepared for the trip and had made up their minds to cross the ocean, and go they would at all hazards. A few of those who had originally intended to go were disgusted with tne way things had been managed, and wavered. It was found that instead of thirty-six men, only twenty-seven could be counted on with certainty to go on the tour. An effort was made to increase this number, but without success. After much delibera tion it was determined that the only thing left for the company to do was to' pass a resolution not to go. Buch a resolution was adopted by a decisive vote. Then it was resolved that as many of the members as could go would make the trip as tourists, not wearing their uniform abroad. They will be required to wear their uniform from Atlanta to New York; because the contract with the railway company requires it. It is believed that about eighteen members will take the trip. It is notdikelv, however, that Capt. Burke will be one of the party. At Milledgeville, during a severe thunder storm Wednesday, Miss Ola Barnes was shocked by a lightning stroke, and at last accounts bad not yet recovered from its effects.

Green Rickei-son, the negro convicted of the murder of Harrison Brown, a hacknian, nearly two years ago, died in his cell at the jail at Macon alxmt 8 o’clock Thursday morning. He had been sick about a week. Green was convicted of murder, and the Supreme Court reversed the decision of the court lielow last February. lie was await ing his new trial when he died. There was no direct evidence that he killed Brown. The circumstances were of such a character, however, that the jury could not do other wise than convict. It is said that at the new trial much stronger evidence would have been offered against him. When the Baptist church at Macon made its last call for funds to complete their new building, an old widow in South Macon, who had long been a beneficiary, contributed her mite, 2V. That amount to her was equiva lent to $lO with most of the donors. They tell it on a young broker of Macon that the day after tbe military lianquet that his eye foil "upon some samples of coffee and a prieq list a year old that had lain in the express office all that time, ana had just lxsen taken out. He saw that the price of coffee hud gone down from 21c. to 12c., and he went out and sold some 700 bags before lie found out that a joke had been played upon him. , Pome years ago a marriage occurred above Cambridge, wherein the nappy spouse im mediately put down the law regarding in toxicating drinks. For some time every thing went along smoothly. Last week, however, the husband was there attending court, and partook so heavily of the tempt ing glass that he reached home quite intoxi cated. The w-ife, true to her promise, led him to a [ost, tied him and, as he says, gave him a good licking. At last accounts every thing was lovely. Near Bainbridge Wednesday a drunken negro, employe of the Savannah, Florida and Western road, aboard the regular pas senger train for Bainbridge, took and per sisted in keeping a seat in the ladies’ coach. The conductor assigned him to his proper place, but in a boisterous manner, to the an noyanee of the lmssengera, he immediatolv broke open the aoor and resumed his former seat.

The lots lor sale on the high ridge that runs through the village aro reasonable and the population is already over SOI). Story’s Vision and Ills Statue. Homan Letter in the Knnua* City Time*. Story’s Inst statue, “A Christ,” is an orig inal ami beautiful conception. The drees is that of an Arab; the cetoneth, or under gar ment, rich and full, Ixiund round the waist with a soft sash, and the tneil, ;4E upper one, a mantle, wliich was the seamless garment n o read that our Lord wore. On tho head is the kiffyeh, or scarf, bound by a fillet, which forms a visor-like framing nl*ove the brow: the ends of this kiffyeh fall over the shoulders and cover the long hair which you see under the shadows of its folds; this Is the napkin, os the English translation of the Bible calls it, which was taken off, folded and laid liesido our Lord In the grave. This costume is most effective, for it u* Uio rich deep folds of the Oriental quadrangular mantle, and is probably exactly like the dress our Saviour wore. . The person is that of a young mar., tail, thin, but not emaciated. The right hand is extended as if summoning you to approach. The left hand rests gently on the dranorv of of the breast. They are’ long, rlcmaer, re fined. Oriental hauls, modeled with feeling and delicacy. The face is singularly tender and noble: handsome with fine brow and beautiful features. The eyes have a won derful outlook, spiritual, and as if they saw far beyond mortal gaze. The expression of the face is united to that of the outstretched, pleading, earnest hand The words: “Come unto me, ye who are weary and heavy laden, and ye shall find rest,’ - seem to be uttered by the lips, and yet the intense sadness of the face is as if He had little hope that humani ty would listen to the call. I sat some time the other afternoon look ing at,this impressive statue. “Ave Maria - ’ sounded and the late afternoon shadows gathered into the studio. The half lights gave the figure of the young Messiah a striking likeness to life. I spoke, thinking aloud: “And so He may have looked.” “It ought to look like Him, for I have seen Him,” said the sculptor,-quietly. I started, and turned to kqpw if I had heard the words or had dreamed them. “Yes,” repeated Story, calmly, lighting a fresh cigarette; “yes, and I will tell you how it was. It happened when I was young —about 20. I was going in the ‘hourly,’ as the coach was called that ran in those days every hour between Boston and Cambridge, for it was long before the time of the omni bus and horse car. Of course 1 mean I dreamed I was in the coach. It was. as all dreams are, at once strange and prosaic. Soon after I got outside the coach, and we had started, I suddenly became aware that Christ was seated outside with the driver. My first impulse was to touch Him; so I leaned out and rested my hand on His gar ments—when I felt sure it was Christ! When the coach reached the half-way house at Cambridgeport everyone got out, and Christ also. I did not, but sat looking upon Him as He walked to and fro. There were ordinary common people about, and the natural prosaic actions of such a place going on. I was aware that no one but my self saw that strange being in Oriental gar ments, moving with stately steps backward and forward in front of the busy little crowd which .assembles at a half-way house when a stage arrives. But that did not seem strange to me. nor was I surprised at his dress, so unlike anything I had ever looked on, for atthattime I was not familiar with the Arab costume; I simply thought, "There is Christ!” and every sense in my body was alive. “Then came the bustle of starting and then the whole dream,ended—the vision dis appeared ! For years and years that appear ance has haunted me, and over and over again I have tried to give form and shape to that fat* and person, which I saw as plainly as I sge you now.” EDI C ATIONAL.
