VALDOSTA’S EATER PRISES.
R epresentntlve* (.<> Jforth to fleoore
tlie Machinery.
Valdosta, Oa., May 23.—The representa
tives of three bis new Interprises for
Valdosta have gone to Northern markets
to negotiate for machinery for the plants.
Mr. T. O. Cranford left last night for
St. bouts, Cincinnati, Philadelphia and
other points to purchase machinery for
the electric car line, which Is to be pit*
in operation here. He expects to buy a
dozen cars and other equipment for the
new road. Before leaving he made a con
tract with the Valdosta Electric Light
and Power Company for electric power to
operate the l'ne. and this necessitates an
enlargement of ihe capacity of that con
cern. Mr. B. W. Bentley, the general
manager of Ihe electric light company,
left to-night to purchase new machinery,
with which to start a day current suffi
cient to run the car line, as well as fur
nish power to oiher enterprises which de
sire it. ,
Mr B. H. Roberts left Sunday for Cin
cinnati, Ixndsville and other Western
cities to look into the manufacture of
harness, with a view to starting a large
harness factory here in the early fall.
Mr. Robertis goes as the representative
of the firm of Roberts, Cranford, Dasher
& Cos., which already docs a good deal
of business In this line, but their inten
tion Is to start a factory that will em
ploy fifty or more hands and manufac
ture harness for the wholesale trade.
Along on the same line Valdosta Is now
witnessing the erection of her first four
etory brick building. It is to go up In
place of the building which was burned
here some time ago, and is to be fitted with
an electric passenger elevator. The con
tract was for a three-story building, but
this was changed when ft was deckled
that Valdosta is to have electric [rower.
At a meting of the City Council yester
day the contract for street lighting was
made, the contract being awarded to the
local company. The Council has been mak
ing investigations for some time with ft
view to putting in their own plant or get
ting a lower rate, but agreed yesterday
to accept the bid of the local company
for fifty arch lights at SSO each per annum.
The city uses only thirty-five lights now,
so the new contract gives an increase of
nearly 50 per cent, in the number of
street lights.

SHREWD CUSTOM HOUSE RATS.
Their Abode in the Only Room Prom
Which Peilernl Building Cat® Are
Excluded.
From the Providence Journal.
It was not so very long ago that there
were certain officials connected with the
local custom house who expressed the
opinion that they were wiser than the
rats which Infest the building. They have
had reason lately to change their minds,
for certain things have come up which
have demonstrated to the custom house
officials that the rodents In the postofflce
building are the craftiest on record, and
that (heir ingenuity In devising and car
rying out plans of mischief is nothing
short of Satanic.
The officials who were fond of deluding
themselves with the idea that it took
more than a horde of rats to get the bet
ter of them, introduced the cat system
of rat catching In the postofflce with good
results. The rodents disappeared from
their accustomed haunts in the building,
and were replaced by three cats, each a
ratter of pronounced ability. The officials
rubbed their hands gleefully, and in a
fit of generosity sent on a request to
Washington that the treasury department
make a monthly appropriation of $2 to
provide food for the cats. This sugges
tion the treasury department treated with
more or less scorn. To the chagrin of the
local officials the department informed
them thet it had placed the letter on file.
The officials kept up the merry dig into
th"lr pockets for loose change with which
to purchase cat meat, and spent their
epare moments in saying unkind things
about the treasury department.
But they did not forget to gloat over the
fact that they had gained the mastery of
the rat problem. That Is, they didn't un
til Thursday. But May 10, 1900, will go
down on record in custom house circles
much as Black Friday has throughout the
civilized world. The deputy collectors all
looked sad. and even the Czar
of East Providence, who deigns to occupy
the collector’s chair, was subdued in spir
it. It appears that there is one apartment
In the postofflce building to which the cats
do not have access. That la the place In
which the bonded goods are stored In the
basement. Thta Is kept locked, for there
is a sufficient stock of choice wines and
brandies stored there to set up several sa
loons
It did not take the rats long to discover
that the cats were not permitted to enter
this sacred spot They had laid (heir pans
accordingly. and by exercising much p<r
severance and many sharp teeth managed
to bore a hole through the wall and pene
trate to the remotest depths of the store
room. Yesterday an Importer called to
take some of his choice brandy from the
warehouse. He< Is a careful man and no
ticed that the custom house stamp usually
affixed to the cask by the gauger was

missing. He called the attention of the
proper officials to this fart, anti an in
vestigation was instituted. It was discov
e ed that the stamps have lieen removed
from a- number of the casks. Further
search showed that it must have been
the rodents which did the trick. The pre
sumption is that they liked the paste with
which the stamps were affixed to the
casks and so removed the insignia of ap
proval in order that they might get at the
paste.
Duplicate Starnes had to be furnished,
and it is now a question whether the de
partment at Washington will choose to
futn'sli stamps or whether it will show
a preference for appropriating $2 for cat
meat. At any rate the rats threaten to be
come a public nuisance instead of a de
partmental nuisance for if the casks had
gone out without the stamps, their con
tents would have been liable to seizure,
and then the expense attendant upon this
would have fallen upon the importer. Fur
ther proceedings will be awaited with in
terest.
RECOVER FROM SERIOUS WOUNDS.
Soldiers Almost r Shot to Piece* Re
gain Their Health and Strength.
From the New York Press.
From Moot river Sir William MaeCor
mac, England’s distinguished surgeon,
who took the field with the soldiers in
South Africa, sends to the London Lan
cet ah interesting set of notes on the re
markable bullet wounds he lias! seem |r#a
cently. "The greater number of these
wounds,” he says, "were caused by the
Mauser bullet, and nearly all presented
the characteristic features—a small circu
lar, slightly depressed area covered by a
black scab. The exit wounds often were
similar, but a little larger, sometimes
presenting a scar like an incised wound
and difficult to discover.
"When I saw them a week or ten days
after the injury they were for the
most part healed. How these bullets fail
to damage vital structures lying immedi
ately in their path is nothing short of
marvelous. The proportion of fatal chest
wounds to those that are recovered from
is believed to be small, but what the pro
portion precisely is cannot yet be learned.
It is abundantly clear that one lung and
often both lungs may be traversed, and
in many directions, without causing grave
symptoms and often without producing
any symptoms of lung trouble at all.”
A halt was called on operations for per
forating abdominal wounds because so
many recoveries from such wounds were
noted. So, too, the previous indications
for ('iterations in such cases had to be re
vised completely. Recovery from wounds
of the knee Joint were so many as to make
a pliapter entirely new in the experience
of the surgeons. The same is true of
wounds to other Joints. In pelvic injuries
it was hard to understand ihe limited
amount of damage done. Bullets perfor
ate arteries and nerves without-severing
them. or. in the ease of arteries, without
canrhJeg the expected amount of bleed
ing.
A private who looked extremely well,
and said he had nothing to complain of,
bad a hole seven inches long and three
inches wide in his chest, which involved
the lungs. Part of three of his ribs were
carried away and the lung was exposed.
The soldier lay in a trench on the field
from 2:30 to 5 o’clock before he could be
attended to. He was carried to the hos
pital at 19T0 o'clock that night.
Another private was hit in the middle
of the nose and the bullet passed out the
back of h.s neck. He had a little head
ache and some trouble In swallowing,
but in ten days the wound healed and
the man apparently was perfectly well.
Another soldier, while lying prone upon
the ground, was "'raked tore and aft,”
to use Sir "William’s words. The bullet
entered'the shoulder and was taken out
of the lower part of the trunk. In
eleven days the wounds healed.
A surgeon while bending over In the
aot of dressing a wounded man at Co
lenso was hit in the abdomen at a range
of 100 yards. He tried to finish the
dressing, but became giddy and was com
pelled to lie down. He remained perfect
ly still on his back for twelve hours,
suffering much from his cramped posi
tion, but none at all from his wound.
The surgeon knew almost at once where
the entrance wound was, but did not lo
calize the exit wound for two hours. A
Boer came along and offered some water
to l'.ltn. but he refused It, and advised two
men who had been hit In the same man
ner. and who were lying near him, not
to drink, ’•hey did drink, notwithstand
ing his advice and began to suffer at
once, one vomiting constantly. Ten
hours before he was hit the surgeon had
eaten a little porridge for breakfast, and
he look nothing by the mouth for forty
eight hours. It' eight days he was con
valescent
HOGS AS POLICEMEN.
Canine Constable* Being Tried in
Belgliini-llan They Are Trained.
From the London Mall.
The experiment of training degß to act
as and assist policemen has been tried in
the little Belgfan town of Ghent with eve:jr
success. M. Ernest Van Wwe mall Com
missioner of Police for Ghent, is responsi
ble for the introduction of dogs as con
stables. For the first experiment Belgian
collie* of three kinds, long, short and
roggh, were chosen, to which was added
later • Picardy dog.
The dogs are trained to obey policemen
in uniform only, and are afterward intro
duced to the residents. They nre laught
to swim and how to grasp objects In the
water, to save people from drowning, and
to leap high obstacles. The duties of the
dog service commence at 10 at night and
finish at 6 in the morning. The animals
are held In leash by policemen until all the
residents are abed, when they nre let ,oe
and, each having Its particular “heat,”
patrols the streets noiselessly and vigilant
ly. The dog wears a huge spiked col nr.
so that in the event of being attacked It
cannot be grasped by the threat. In the
case of a burglary the dog either dashes
ofT for a policeman or attacks the felonious
one and holds him until help arrives.
Several of these canine constables have
proved their utility In many ways. In sav
ing life from drowning, and In defending
policemen from assault on the part o.’

G Ait RAGE DISPOS AL IN CHINA.
Uncanny Title of the Streets Which
Make One Shudder.
From City Government.
Consul Ragsdale writes from Tien-Tsin
that "the methods are from house-to
house collection. The work is done by pri
vate enterprise and the material deposit
ed in vacant lots, and In front of houses
where the owners do not employ the col
lector. Tin cans are much prized by the
natives and are a regular article of com
merce. When beyond use as a buckets
they are flattened out and made into any
thing from a candlestick to a bathtub—
the latter being used only for foreigners.
Broken glass is collected by private en
terprise, and the sorting is done in any
place most convenient to the collector.
Household waste waters are thrown into
the empty poo s at the side cf the streets
and eventually this water is used for
street sprinkling. The streets and the
passers-by are sprinkled by means t f long
handled ladles.
“The street refuse collections are made
by men and boys with a basket and a
small long-handled ladle or shovel. The
basket hangs on the back from the left
shoulder and great skill Is shown by some
collectors in scooping up everything and
throwing it into the basket without loss.
This material Is taken to some bright,
sunny and convenient locality, mixed with
two parts of street dust and made into
cakes the size of an orange. Thsse cakes
are sun-dried and sold as fertilizers.
“The most convenient place for a for
eigner to study the details of these meth
ods is the stone bridge on Legation
street. It is only a few hundred yards
from the two foreign hotels and the
French, German, Japanese, English, Rus
sian and American legations, .'he bridge,
being thus ctntrally located with a wind
swept stone floor exposed to the sun, pos
sesses all of the requirements of a first
class fertilizer dryer. It is in daily use.
The sewage system of Pekin is certainly
a combined system. Everything combines

supply of street sweeping exceeds the de

JAPAN'S ROYAL MARRIAGE.
The Scion of 100 Kings Wed® n
Charming Bride Deserted Win
dows Dnt Crowded reels.
From the London Mall.
Yokohama, May 10.—The marriage of
the Crown Prince of Japan, Prince Yo
shihtto, to Princess Sada-ko, a niece of
the late Empress Dowager, took place to
day.
To the young Japanese nation, reveling
in hopes and ambitions that suffer no
blight from a consciousness of age or na
tional ennui, the marriage of their Crown
Prince is an event of the most auspicious
character. The event gains in Importance
frem the fact that Prince Yoshihito is
the one hundred and sixty-second in the
imperial line, the hope of a dynasty which
has ruled Japan for nearly 2,000 years.
He is twenty years old, is short In stat
ure, like all his future subjects, and,
though he has never visited Europe, he
has received a good Western education.
His bride. Princess Sada-ko, has the
bluest blood of Japan in her veins and
can boast of lineage extending back many
centuries, for she is the daughter of
Frlnce Kujo. In herself she is a charming
little lady of seventeen, with a bright and
clear mind, rendered still brighter and
clearer by a good education on European
lines.
The Prince left his palace at Aoyama,
Toklo, at 7:30, and proceeded to the im
perial palace In the center of the city,
where he met his bride. Many Japanese
now marry under Western rules, but In
his case the marriage, which was of a
private character, took place at the im
perial shrine according to the Shinto
rites, the rites of old /apana.
At the conclusion of the ceremony the
Imperial cGuple received the congratula
tions of the great officers of state, and a
little later, accompanied by a brilliant es
cort, they proceeded to the palace at
Aoyama, amid the acclamations of an Im
mense multitude that filled the streets.
The windows were everywhere deserted,
for no Japanese may look down on the
person of any member of the royal fam
ily under severe penalties.
In their first appearance on the way
to the shrine bride and bridegroom were
both dressed In antique Japanese costume,
the bride’s dress being heavily embroid
ered with gold, but now in this proces
sion, when they rode In open carriage
through the city, both ware European
costumes.
The bride’s wedding trousseau Is said
to have cost £50.000.
In honor of the occasion many politic
ians have been raised to the peerage.
Beware of Pori® Water.
From the London Globe.
Numberless warning® have been ad
dressed to those people who intend to put
their national pride In their pocket this
year, and go to the Paris Exposition. They
have been told that the city swarms with
sharpers and thieves of every description,
who are only waiting an opportunity to
rob them, and that even the waiters have
entered into a nefarious league to pass
bad money on them. But these things are
all directed against the purse; there is
another and a worse danger to be shunned
and that Is Paris water. The citizens of
Paris have long been exercised over their
water supply, and many suggestions for
tapping new sources have been discussed,
but few have, so far, been carried out. The
summer Is coming on, the exposition is at
tradllng crowds from all part® of the
world, and yet the Conscript Fathers of
Parte are stlU talking over what Is to be
done. Every summer the water supply
runs short, and those unfortunates who
have to remain In Paris In the dog days
hove to undergo all sorts of privations.
Moreover, in addition to fear of scarcity,
there is the far worse fear of typhoid, for
none of the water is absolutely above re
proach, and there has been an epidemic
of typhoid in the city all the winter. If
a serious outbreak should occur when
Paris Is crammed with all sorts of strange
nationalities, the consequences might be
most serious. As It is, the authorities are
already advising that nil water should
be boiled, so those who, In spite of every
thing, decide to go lo Paris, will know
what to expect.

of the French embassy in Berlin, has been

A SNOW-WHITE DEER.
Another Zoological Attraction for
Golden Gate Park Visitors.
From the San Francisco Chronicle.
The cool tWnds from the ocean yester
day caused a marked falling-off in the at
tendance of pleasure-seekers at Golden
Gate Park and the beach.
Park Commissioner Lloyd was out sad
dleriding over the hills and slopes looking
for a site where a grove of poplars may
be planted with cathedral effects. The
strong winds that at times sweep through
the pleasure resort are such as to cause
the poplars to bend before them, and re
main bent, thereby preventing the desired
effect. For this reason a protected site
is desired.
’ The zoological features of the park are
attracting the special attention of the com
missioners at this time. The buffalo have
thrived so that from a beginning of three
bison there are now fourteen in the two
paddocks. Buffaloes are quoted at SI,OOO
apiece in New York, and it has been sug
gested that six of these in the park might
ber sold and the money devoted to secur
ing other natural history exhibits. The
original occupants of the buffalo paddocks
cost the city $250 each. Three black
swans are setting, and a snow-white deer,
recently purchased in Sacramento, will
soon he an additional attraction of the
deer glen.
Residents In the vicinity of the park at
Scott and Steiner streets, which the city
recently turned over to the nark commis
sioners, have sent a communication to the
latter body offering to raise and contrib
ute SI,OOO toward reclaiming and beauti
fying the square. If the commissioners will
do the rest. Supt. McLaren will Investi
gate and report as to the cost of the de
sired improvements at the next meeting
of the commissioners.
Dodging Shells.
From the National Review.
Bomb-proof shelters were, of course,
built or excavated in Ladysmith, but these
were naturally not conspicuous. There
were many of them in the river bank,
where they were easily constructed. At
the Gordon’s Camp an Indian was per
manently on the watch with eye glued to
a telescope. Long Tom was fired with
black powder, and when the watchman
saw the puff of smoke which showed that
the gun had been discharged, he called
out in a high drawing voice. “Bulwa-a
ana La-ang T-a-a-a-<m.” Twenty-three
seconds elapsed between the firing of the
shot and arrival of the shell, and this gave
plenty of time for every one within hearing
to reach shelter. * The Indian, with the
composure of his race, sat unmoved at
bis lookout, and was never hit. Elsewhere
a bugle coll was the danger signal. At one
cavalry Camp, I was told, the horses got
to know this bugle quite well, and when
the call sent the men running to shelter
the horses would show their uneasiness by
stamping on the ground and tossing their
heads. Asa rule, both horses and cattle
were very little harmed by shell fire.
Herds of oxen and troops of horses and
mules used to be sent to graze wherever
grass could be found within the circuit
of our defenses. The Boers often shelled
them—without much effect. If a shell
burst near the horses, they would trot
twenty yards with tails and ears up, sniff
the air for a moment, and then go on
grazing. The oxen, on the other hand,
took no notice whatever.

PAULDING OF LONG ISLAND CELE.
URATGD PIPPIN APPLE CIDER.
This pure elder Is served on staamere on
the American line, and at the Waldorf-As
toria and leading family grocers in New
Yo:k city.
Paulding's Pippin cider Is made from
the pure Juice of hand picked apples from
his own mill on the premises. It is abso
lutely pure apple juice, and all the effer
vescence ts natural, and we guarantee it
to be the choicest cider In the world.
Leading physicians in New York and
Brooklyn recommend this cider to their
patients. Its perfect purity is guaranteed.
In Paulding’s Pippin cider, only Long Is
land Newton’s Pippins are used. The ap
ple® are left on the trees until late in Oc
tober when they are hand picked and
placed In a dry room to ripen.
Paulding says “the applts are thorough
ly crushed in his own mill and the Juice
pressed out and run into sweet clean
casks.” The difference between crushing
and grinding apples is very great.
You will know the difference between
crushed apples and ground apples If you
take some stems and chew them, you will
find that bitter taste which Is not with
Paulding's crushed apples. This cider has
not the extreme sweetness of the Russet
cider, and everyone will find the Pauld
