DOWN ON THE RAILROADS
▲ RESOLUTION TO BREAK THE
LEAS3 OF THE CENTRAL,
Representative Lewis of Hancock
County the Author—Another Reso
lution Favors a 2-Cent Passenger
Rate—Flowers on All the Desks in
Honor of the Governor's Birthday.
Atlanta, Ga., July 9.—The legislative
mill is grinding away famously. The num
ber of new bills introduced to-day, particu
larly in the House, was notable. The Sen
ate refused to pass the encampment resolu
tion. For this action ths alliance caucus
last night is held responsible.
The anti-railroad sentiment is shown In a
number of bills and resolutions introduced.
A fair example of this is a resolution by
Mr. Lewis of Hancock int-oduced to-day.
It reads:
Whereas, The existing !ea<e of the Georgia
railroad of this stale to the Central Ka:lr,.al of
Georgia and the Louisvi le and .Nashvil e rail
road companies, and ihe lease of the Central
railroad and its branches to the ilenrgia I’a-iri
railroad, aft 1 the lease of the Georgia Pacific to
the Richmond Terminal Company or ot-.er cor
porations. is in violation of plain provi-1 >ns in
the constitution of Georgia, rheref re be
Resolved, By the House, and the Senate con
CJrrmg, that the governor is hereto lirect-d t
require the attorney general to take proper
steps to secure the cancellation of such lease
contracts. Be it further
Resolved, That unless such lease contra-ts
are revoked arid canoe.led bv the railr >ad com
panies so leased within six months from the
passage of this resolution that their charters be
and the same are hereby revoked.
A 2-cent passenger rate.
Mr. Sibley of Cobb introduced a bill to
make the passenger rate 2 cents a mile, and
making the railroads furnish 5,000 mile
tickets.
Mr. Hill of Meriwether had a bill read
imposing a penalty of *SOO for excessive
freight onarges, the penalty to be paid the
party upon whom the excess rate was im
posed. or upon any informer, whichever
brought suit first.
There were one or two others, all directly
or incidentally hostile toward the rail
roads.
The special order for to-day in the House
was the bill introduced last session by Mr.
Whit ield of Baldwin, and ready now for last
readi lg. against insurance combinations. It
is ai ned particularly at the Southeastern
Tan.f Association. On motion of its author,
consideration of the bill was postponei, and
it was made the special order for next
Wednesday.
OTHER HEW BILLS.
Among other new bills of a general char
acter were these:
Bv Mr. Lewis of Hancock—To relieve in
solvent debtors. The bill propose* to re
lieve bj his petition to the judge of the su
perior courts asking the judge to appoint a
receiver ana take charge f all his property.
When this ns done he is discharged. He is
entitled to SHOO exemptions.
By Mr. Seay of Fioyd Making it a mis
demeanor for minors to buy intoxicating
liquors.

for the redemption of real estate sold at
sheriffs' sales.
Mr. Lewis also had read this morning a
bill to make the first term of the superior
court a trial term, when no plea is filed.
DISCOURAGING FRIVOLOUS CASES.
Another bill is to discourage the bringing
of frivolous cases, while still another is a
bill tra sferring misedmeauor cases from
the superior to the county courts and pro
viding for a full panel of jurymen to select
a jury from, as is now in force in the supe
rior court.
By Mr. Atkinson of Coweta—To provide
for the appointment by the governor, annu
ally, of a board of visitors, consisting of one
lady from each congressional district, for
the girl’s normal and industrial college at
Millegeville. Mr. Atkinson was the author
of the bill to establish this school.
A committee of fire from the Senate and
seven from the House has been appointed to
consider the part of the governor's message
relating to widows' pensions.
A message from the governor notified
both houses that a solicitor is to be elected
for 'he Middle circuit. The election was
set for 12 o’clock to morrow. B. D. Evans
is now filling the position by appointment
and will probably ne elected.
The Senate adjourned early. The House
adjourned at 12:3d o’clock, half an hour be
fore the usual time, as a mark of respect to
a deceased member, Judge E. S. Griffin of
Twiggs.

FLOWERS ON THE DESKS.
A pleasant little feature of the session to
day was the presence of flowers on the desk
Of ail the members. They were furnished
by the ladies of the flower mission of the
Woman’s Christian Temperance Union
complimentary to Gov. Northen The
Governor is a great believer in women and
requentlv assists in the Woman’s Christian
Temperance Union services. He is 56 years
old to-day, qud the ladies marked the anni
versary in this way.
Mr. Clifton of Chatham made a little
speech in the House calling attention to the
flowers, expressing the thanks of the legis
lators and expressing devotion to woman
kind. He covered himself with glory, and
both the House aud gallery applauded gen
erously. Several alliance members reason
ing that the whole affair was a compliment
to the governor, and tnat to wear flowers
was to indorse that sentiment, tossed the
the flowers into the waste basket and re
fused to wear them.
Mr. Clifton had a resolution passed ex
tending the courtesies of the floor to M. Y.
Mclntyre and J. B. Young of Savannah.
CHARGSD WITH COUNTERFSITING.
Two Youn? White Mon of Dooly
County Order Arrest.

State* Marshal Avent arrived in the city
this morning with two prisoners, charged
with counterfeiting silver dollars in Dooly
county. Their names are James W. Storey
and Henry D. Smith. Both are young
white men. Information of the circulation
of counterfeit money was received Satur
day from Arabi, on the Georgia Southern
and Florida railroad. Molds nnd other
tools were found, but none of the spurious
coin, which the informants say was
used wholly by the men in gambling.
Both men under anest deDy makirg the
coin but admit that they made a matrix for
fun. The story of the deputies throws
quite a different light on the case, as wit
nesses say that they have received a quant
ity of dollars, ail of the same date, from
the prisoners. Others supposed to have
been connected with the work have not
been arrested yet.

LIVINGSTON HELPS.
President Livingston of the Georgia alli
ance has proved a valuable accessory in
shaping its course. Col. W. L. Leek, presi
| dent of the Gejrgia State Exchange, has
' bean to New York to look into the plan.
T:,e district lecturers of the alliance held a
meeting a dav or two ago and co: suited
atsiut the best manner of presenting the
j matter to the people. The Morning News
corresp indent found Editor Harry Brown
at the alliance headquarters thil evening.
He wasanuoyed at the publicity given the
matter. "There has bam no 6sle
of the stock,’ he said. “Teat
is impossible for our alliance
constitution forbids it. It is simply a move
ment tc have one general purchasing agent
for several or all the 6tate exchanges. Each
exchange retains its identity, but shares the
profits and advantages from buying at
wholesale prices. This plan has not been
oonsum uated and is now only being con
sidered."

the voters are in favor of the elec

be precluded from selling the same as medi

Rome, Ga., July 9.—A prisoner in the
hands of Floyd county’s sheriff is young
Lord Beresford, son of an English noble
man. It is a pretty story. Beresfcrd came

young man of wealth in this city, at once.

BEHIND THE SCENES.
European High Life and the Foibles
of Titled Pe p.e.
Prince Benjamin de Ronan, who has re
cently been distinguishing himself by driv
mg a team of four horses up the flight of
steps leading from the port of Monaco to the
gardens of the palace for the sake of a
wager, writes the Marquis de Fontenoy in
tee New Y. rk Recorder, a not altogether
unknown in New York, where five years
ago he might have been seen eking out a
miserable existence as a waiter in a Third
avenue ra.taurar.t Although big, fat aud
burly, and nearer 50 than 40, be still retains
bis old Vienna nickname of '‘Baby” Rob.an.
Vienna has, however, long since become im
possible to him as a place of residence, for.
apart from his numerous debts, his follies
have been of a character to necessitate his
being disowned by his family, at the head of
which is Prinoa Camille de Rohan, Due de
Bouillon and Montbazon. etc.
Prince Benjamin daring bis stay in this
country can hardiv be said to have shone in
the profession which he had adopted,
namely, that of a r staurant waiter, and he
subsisted at least during part of the time on
the earnings of a fellow knight of the nap
kiu who hai been born as a peasant on the
grand old Rohan estate of Sichrow in Bo
hemia, and who therefore considered it a
privilege to be permuted to aot as a hench
man to a member of his seigneurial family.
Like his friend Prince Joseph Lubotnirski,
Pnnoe Benjamin has sinoe conferred his
title and his band upon a wealthy but
mature and vulgar widow, whose first hus
band realized a large fortune by the manu
facture of a fertilizer. The lady has, how
ever, been too shrewd to intrust her second
husband with the Control ofter fortune,
wcich remains in her hands, while he has to
be content with an allowance dependent
upon his submtssivenoss to her wishes.
Prince Lubomirski, Benjamin's friend and
inseparable companion—a man of about the
same age and mental caliber —has become
the busiand of tue aged widow of M. Boyer,
the well-known manufacturer of a patent
medicine called "Eau de Melisse des Car
mes.” Formerly a Drilliant leader of Em
press Eojeuie’s cotillions at the Tuilerie*
rails, he bus now become one of the star
amateur dancers at the Eiysee Montmartre,
which has taken the place of the old “Ma
biile.”
His remarkable and fantastic skill in dan
cing the cancan arouse* the wildest enthu
siasm of the visitors to this pleasure resort.
Known there by the endearing and graceful
name of "Bonle de Suif” (Taillow-baU), on
account of bis embonpoint, be has even
composed a pas seul wmch has been chris
tened the ' ‘Pas du Goret,” the literal trans
lation of which is "Pig’s Step.”
One of the principal features of the royal
palace at Athens, where young Prince
George of Greece, makes his home with his
parents, is the large gailery which has been
fitted up as a skating rink. Both King
George end Queea Olga are passionately
fond of skating, and sinoe snow and ioe are
practically unknown in Greece, they have
adopted this means of obtaining their
favorite exercise. An excellent orchestra
plays waltzes and polkas while the royal
guests wheel round on their roller skates,
and twioea week during the winter invita
tions are sent out for regular skating par
ties at the palace.
King Gsorge, unlike his wife and his chil
dren, who belong to the orthodox Greek
faito, is a Lutheran, and while not quite as
tall as his. Prince George, is nevertheless
considerably above the average bight He
is very bald, and bis bright blue eyes have
an exceedingly searching, piercing look.
He Is very active and energetic, and nas the
gift of drawing his interlocutors into easy
conversation. He is passionately fond of
sport, keeps a fine stud of hunters and
spends nls happiest hours in the saddle.
Capt. O’Shea of Parnellit* famo has re-
cently come into a considerable sum of
money bequeathed to him by hie uncle, tbe
Spanish Duke o{ San Lucar. Tho latter
was the son Of a Dublin banker, who, hav
ing failed to achieve success in Ireland,
established himself in business at Madrid,
where he proved more lucky. One of his
sons married Queen Isabella’s lady-in-walt
ing, the Duchess of San Lucar, and in ac
cordance with the Spanish custom In cases
where the wife is of superior rank to that
of her husband William O’Shea, the banker’s
sou, assumed the name aad ducal title of his
bnda.
The announcement In the English papors
that the Duke and Duohess of Fife are stay
ing at Brighton with Reuben Sassoon
recalls to mind the fact that tne baccarat
counters which played such an important
part in the recent Gordon-Cumming trial,
aud which are most elaborate affairs, were
presented tn tbe Prince of Wales about a
year ago by Reub Sasaoon, tbe young Parses
merchant, who is one of the most constant
and submissive caterers to the entertain-
ments of H. R. H.
Mrs, Sassoon, a particularly clever
woman, warned her husband at the time
that the present was an unfortunate one,
which might bring trouble upon the prince.
And so it has. For nothing has given a
greater shock to the respectable middle and
lower classes in England than the revelation
that their future king was accustomed to
travel about the country with baccarat
counters in his luggage.
Mrs. Sassoon, who is tbe sister of Mrs.
Leopold Rothschild, is the daughter of a
Venetian Hebrew of the name of Perugia.
The Perugias are among the most ancient
Jewish families of that part, and Mrs. Sas
soon, Mrs. Leopold Rothschild and Mrs.
Hirsh of Paris, all three sisters, possess iu
addition to exquisite complexions and per
fect features and figures, that glorious
guldeu-red hair immortalized by the brush
of Titian.
Baron Hirsch, who last season seemed
almost like the snadow of the Prince of
Wales, and who was every day at Marl
borough House, appears to have been en
tirely dropped—from a social point of view
—by England’s coming “K.” His name no
longer figures among the number of those
invited to any entertainment given in the
honor of royalty, and it is likewise conspic
uously absent from the list of guests at the
state balls and concerts at Buckingham
palace. He has taken up his residence at
one of the Piccadilly hotels instead of in a
well-equipped house as last year, and is left
severely alone by all the Marlborough
house set.
Baron Hirsch, however, is not the kind of
man to submit passively to treatment of
this kind, and it is openly rumored in Lon
don that the recent action of the Parisian
press in suddenly abandoning its attacks on
Sir William Gordon-Cumming, and in
holding him up as the victim of a foul con
spiracy, in which the prince, le prince
faineant, was one of the principals, is at
tributable to the baron’s gold.
Anybody knowing anything about ths
Parisian press is aware that it is not in tbe
habit of modifying or retracting its opinion
unless for the sake of a consideration, and
iu the present case the volte face of the
newspapers has been so complete that tho
consideration must have been a very large
one.
On the other hand the Club de la Rue

j LEOPARDS HYPNOTIZED BY DOGB.
A Novel Wav of Capturing the Fero
cious Be ists in Mexico.
From the Chicago Herald.
“AYfcat is the most novel experience you
ever had in MexicoP was asked of Judge
Masterson at the Leland last evening.
“Hunting the pumas or spotted leopards,”
was the reply, and he related the following:
“About a mouth ago we were in the south
ern part of the state of Chiapas, which
borders on Central America. One day a
party was gotten up to hunt the spotted
leopards. We left tbe hacienda at sunrise
with a pack of thirty dogs, not the Ameri
can hunting dog, but those little hairless
Mexican animals that you see in the streets
of this city once in a while. As wo rode
away I asked the guides where the guns
were. They said we needed no guns and
we rode on. After going a few miles we
reached tbe cele rated ruins of Falcuquo.
There the dogs began to prick up their ears
and dash away. After a short run they
treed one of the finest pumas I have ever
seen. It was au immense animal, aud as he
swung to and fro on a limb of a tree, his
picturesque coat shining in the sun’s rays,
I could only think of a study for an artist.
The dogs encircled the tree and began to
bark. How they did yell and howl! It was
the queerest. Weirdest sound that I had
ever neard. Standing still aud looking up
at the beautiful prisoner, these trained dogs
how led like demons.
“Soon I saw the effect. The leopard
walked out to the end of the limb and gazed
fixedly at the dogs below. He did not ap
pear frightened, but charmed. Aud he
was. The leopard had been hypnotized by
the dogs. The spotted beast acted like a
sheep walker, and if he had not been under
a speli he would have fallen from tne dan
gerous position that he had taken on tbe
tree. W hen he was declared to be thor
oughly hypnotized one of our guides west
up the tree and fastened a little rope arouud
the leopard's neck. The other end was tied
to the tree. The guide patted the danger
ous animal as be would his pouy, and the
beast did not notice it in the least. The
man came down the tree and we called off
the dogs. Then tbe leopard came out of
the tran e with a start aud attempted to
jump away from the little grass rope on his
ueck. He fell downward aud was hanged
to death.
“In this manner we got six leopards that
morning. It is one of the greatest sports in
Mexico, and is rapidly taking the place of
the bull flzhts. The animals captured this
way are Valuable, too, for their skins are
not pierced with bullet holes or scarred
with knives.”
NEW IN FANS.
Unique Souvenir Which a Singer
Brings From Australia.
From Sydney Town and Country,
A novel and handsome fan. which has at
tracted considerable attention lately,belongs
to the oontralto, Mrs. W. A. Green of New
York, aad is the result of a desire to carry
away with her a souvenir entirely typical
of the country she is visiting.
The fan is of Australian manufacture and
is formed of a full-sized lyre bird s tail, sup
ported by four large ostrioh feathers in
gray. These are held in place by a silver
cup, beautifully embossed in lyre bird aud
ostrich feather design. The handle is of
Ivory, with a shield containing the mono
graph. The blending of the two grays, in
both the stiff and the pliant feathers, is
very beautiful, and the lighter silver trim
mings complete a most harmonious whole.
Tbe idea that a lyre bird fan would be
unique and original occurred to Mrs. Green
some months ago, and has resulted most
happily. The lady oarried it at the last
Carrington ball at the government house,
where it excited much comment, and was
especially admired by Lady Carrington,
who ordered one like it with plumes and
silver trimmings, and upon her return to
England presented it to the Prinoess of
Wales.
Mies Dequer—l wonder who is the author of
these lines:
“Water, water everywhere,
And not a drop to drink?”
Mr. Juglette—l’m sure I don't know, but they
sound very muoh as if they had been written by
a Kentuckian.— Detroit tree Press.
