The steamship Chattahoochee, which
arrived last night from New York, made
her 300th voyage. Chief Engineer John
Henry has made every voyage since the
vessel was built. Before joining her he was
on the Gate City for four years and never

Do you enjoy the good things of this

Are you troubled with sleeplessness?
A prominent physician from Cincin
nati says :
“ My patient has just finished the last
bottle of the genuine Johann Hoff's Malt
Extract with marked improvement. I
can cheerfully say it is all, and more
than you claim for it, for in my patient's
case of dyspepsia nothing would remain
on her stomach; hence there was ex
treme debility, and she certainly could
not have survived much longer,
j “ After taking the second bottle we
could see quite an improvement. Her
api>etite became better, and she could re
tain food without distressing her. She
feels—for the lirst time in six months
that she has been in bed—that she will
recover. It has certainly proved in her
case a great boon. I can cheerfully in
dorse the genuine Johann Hoff's Malt
Extract for all you claim, both in dys
pepsia, anaemia, and kindred diseases.' I
will take great pleasure in recommend
ing it to other practitioners and to my
patients.” . |

PCJRP3 WHO PAY NO TAX.
City Officials of Atlanta Exempt Them
selves from a Tax.
Atlanta, Ga., March 2.—An investiga
tion of the records has disclosed a novel
condition of affairs in Atlanta’s municipal
government, which ha* been attacked on
the charge of corruption aud boodling
more than once recently’. The ordinary
citizen is compelled to pay a tax of $1 25 on
his dog, but the purpg of the councilmen
and city officials nag their tails in the proud
consciousness that they are canines of a
.privileged class. Mayor Hemphill’s dog,
Pendennis, struts up and down before the
mayor’s mansion with an nldermanio tread,
ignoring the purps of the people that pass
tv. He wears a free tag on tus
neck. Suoh a sordid thing ai
money has nothing to do with keeping him
from the clutches of the dog catcher. No
$1 25 passed over the city clerk's counter
for his license. He’s the mayor’s dog and
goes free.
alderman rice’s luck.
When Alderman Frauk Rice, chairman of
the finance committee, steps out of his back
porch in the morning and whistles to his
dog Rex, he congratulates himself as the
purp comes running up with the city’s li
nens* dangling from his collar, for he is a
mighty man, au alderman, and doesn’t have
to pay a dog tax.
When ex-Councilman Lambert sallies
forth with his four pets, Bull, Tiger, Fulaom
and Zinc, at his heels, he hears behind
him the jingle of fourbrass tags worth $1 25
to ordinary mortals, but to him free. So
much for having been a councilman.
Ex- Alderman Hiddlebrooks pats his pug,
Hiram, on the head, and as he fingers the
free tag that swings from hi3 pet’s collar
wouders if he will ever again be in the
council and will be able to escape the pay
ment of the dog tax.
OTHER LUCKY OFFICIALS.
Assistant City Attorney Anderson’s dog.
Carlo, wears a tag which was passed out to
him from the clerk’s office gratis.
Ex-Councilmau Porter King escaped
paying the city $2 50 for tags for his two
dogs through the fact that he was a mem
ber of the honorable city council.
City Marshal J. W. Lloyd enjovs the
same perquisite. His Bessie, Jack and Kent
wear tags for which the city received no
revenue.
A half dozen other officials and clerks en
joy the same canine reciprocity.
On the tax register appears a record of
all tho cases cited above; opposite Mayor
Hempbil’s name is that of his dog Pendsunis
and then this entry: "No charge, mayor.”
with similar entries opposite the names
of the others all through the list. A care
ful search of the city ordinance fails to re
aeal any provision for the canceling of
dog licenses in favor of aldermen, council
men or city officials. It is simply one of
the snaps they enjoy.

was ahead of any other that he had in

the exception of the Savannah Cadets, that
the Rifles reminded him very much of the
Cadets; that they were well schooled In the

their step was perfect. He further said
that their guns were in fine couditiou aud
that their promptness aud obedience to the
commands of the officers was highly com
mendable.

He Will Return to the Club House
To-Night.
Norfolk, Va., March 2. —The President
returned to the Princess Anne hotel from
the Ragged Island Ducking Club to-day in
fine form and with a lot of game. He

iug could be done.
THE PRESIDENT TURNS HOST.
The President had his ducking compan
ions with him at dinner this afternoon. He
expresses himself as delighted with his sport

finest he has ever seen, being much better
and fuller of canvas-backs than those of
the Chesapeake bay. Preparations are
g ing on for another trip to the club to
morrow evening aud an early stars for the
marshes Friday morning. Mrs. McKee and
Mrs. Russell Harrison have been telegraphed
to come down if the weather will permit.

from Norfolk and Portsmouth paid their
respects to him this afternoon.

will probably return to Washington Satur

Setting Grand Jurors Right.
Editor Morning Sews: Wo find in the
"presentment” of tho grand jury, as pub
lished in your issue March 1, the following:
“Observing that the male white and female
negro convicts were imprisoned in the same
quarters, we recommend that they should
have separate apartments in the same build
ing.” it is strange how such an erroneous
impression found lodgment in the heads of
such practical and observing gentlemen as
the three of this grand jury who inspected
these camps. At camp No. 1, where the
women convicts are imprisoned, a separate
and distinct house is provided for them,
where a mde convict, either white or col
ored, never puts his foct. This houso is set
apart exclusively for them, und when tho
work ot the day is over, are therein locked
up for the night.

A CURIOUS MURDER CASE.
Accidental Death That Came Through
an Attempt to Kill.
From the Sew York Times.
The arraignment ot three murderers in
one day in the Jersey City courts brings
her criminal record nearly abreast with that
of Essex county. Ttiore are three murder
cases to be tried in Judge Depue’s court at
Newark next term, and the assassins Dun
ham and Senior are still ot largo besides.
The latest murder—: hat in tho hat shop in
Spring Valley—is the oddest of the murder
cases that have been brought to the notice
of tho courts.
Horan aud Ward, the parties to the
tragedy, had been hunting, and a quarrel
resulted in Ward being thrashed by Horan.
When the reached the shop. Ward rushed
upon Iloran with a double-barreled gnn
pointed at him. Horan seized the weapon
by the barrel just as Ward was about to
pull the trigger, and finally wrenched it
from his grasp.
“When a man brings m a gun to shoot
me," he exclaimed, “why, I’ll break it all to
pieces for him.”
He swung the gun around his hoed, and
brought the stock down upon the floor with
euch violence that the weapon was broken
in two. Its contact with tho floor sot it off,
and Horan, receiving the charge in his body,
unintentionally saved his antagonist the
trouble of killing him. Of oourse Ward
could not, under the circumstances, b* held
for murder, but he will probably be prose
outed for assault with intent to kill.
Speaker Crisp.
From the Sew York IV orld.
Speaker Crisp is a man of tho most regu
lar habits. He rises at exactly the same
time every morning, breakfasts at the same
hour and goes to bed with the same regu
larity every night. Notwilhsta ding his
strict attention to the rules be has laid down
for himself tho t emendous strain of the
speakership contest, followed by the difficult
task of selecting the committees of the
House, reduced his vitality to such an ex
tent that the grip found him au easy
victim. He is now compelled to be ex
tremely careful. It was his custom to walk
to the capital in the morning at a good
round pace, but ho now rides up in a com
fortable carriage. He goes into the House
at noon, calls it to order ar.d then, putting
one of his lieutenants in thd chair, retires to
his private room where he remains most of
the day consulting with some of the mem
bers woo call upon him, but conserving his
strength as much as possible.
Mr. Crisp is o: e cf the most approachable
spoakers who ever occupied the chair. Any
one who has business with him can always
gain access to his private room, and t e
newspaper men in particular he receives
with the greatest cordiality and absence of
ceremony. The speaker’s friends, however,
shake their headset his obstinate refusal to
leave Washington for a week’s vacation,
and prophesv that if he is not extremely
careful he will be forced to leave his duties
for an indefinite length of time.
Judge Crisp possesses the most indomita
ble will and declares that he will corquer
his illness without leaving the harness. It
19 a dangemns experiment, but his friends
all hope very heartily that he will succeed.

A VICTORY FOR DEMOCRATS.
The Levy Court, Delaware, Injunction
Case Decided.
Wilmington, Del., March 3.—A dis
patch from Dover says that Chancellor
Saulsbury has rendered a decision in the
Levy court injunction case sustaining tho
argument of the petitioners that the Levy
oourt has no power to strike
the names from tho assessment
list and decreeing that the Levy court
is hereby ordered aud restrained frem doing
this. In his decision the chancellor holds
that If the legislature had meant to vert in
the Levy court a right to so purge the assess
inont list it would have done so in exprcis
nml unmistakable language. Politically
this is a victory for the democrats, win so
ascendauey would have been jeopardized
had the Lory court coutontion been held
valid.

ROBBING FROM MAILS.
Post Officials Who Have Been Detected
at This Business.
Washington Cor. Boston Transeriot.
During the last year 58 postmasters, 23
assistant postmasters, 45 olerks iu postofiices
and 60 mail carriers were arrested ou
charges of dishonesty. Postmasters are ex
posed to much temptation incidentally to
the handling of Uncle Sam's funds. Some
times they find themselves in tight places
financially, and itseemsa very simple thing
to help themselves out temporarily by using
some of the government cash which is lying
idle at hand. Unfortunately they can never
tell when tho inspector will come along to
look over the accounts.
Every dishonest p .. illco employe im
agines that his method of stealing is anew
one, that he does it better than auy one
ever did It before and that he oau elude
detection. But such offenders are invariably
CAughf. They can never tell when they
are being watched or how. All new post
office buildings are oonatruoted with peeo
holes expressly for this purpose. The rifling
of letters is the most usual form of theft.
A clerk was caught iu the act the other
day at Wilmington, N. C., who had achieved
such expertness in distinguishing paper
money by stneli that, after his capture, he
seleoted with unerring accuracy seven letters
containing bank notes out of 400 placed
before him, though blindfolded, in order to
satisfy tho auriosity of the inspectois. Not
merely old bills can be thus smelled out, but
new ones likewise. Simply a keen sense well
trained is required.
Men iu the bureau of engraving and
printing say that they can smell out now
notes iu envelopes every time. The method
of detecting paper currency by feel is
familiar enough, os is also that of drawing
a thread with a knot on the end of it, by
the help of a needle, through a letter, the
knot fetching with ft some of tho fiber of
the enclosed Kill.
One of the most remarkable cases of rost
oflloa robberies on record occurred in Min
neapolis in July, 18S6. Tho thieves entered
through the stamp window at night, clos
ing the shutter bobind them. Then thoy
proceeded to break into the safe in whis’h
the stamps were kept, performing tho task
with a diamond drill so quietly that men
working close by in the building did not
hear them.
In front of the safe was a largo plata-glass
window, but the cold had covered it with
frost, so that no one could see through it.
The burglars secured 690,000 2 cent stamps
and 200,000 1-eent stamps, besides some
money, the whole amounting to the value of
over $14,000. They tried to disooso of their
bo ty through other persons who acted as
“fences,” and in this way they were caught
at Chicago, $4,078 worth of the stamps be
ing recovered.
