REHEARSING
PROGRAM
CORONATION CEREMONIES ARE
BEING DAILY REHEARSED BY
THOSE WHO ARE TO TAKE
PART IN PROGRAM.
LONDON. June 21.—Coronation rehear
sal* save been taking place daily this week
at Westminster Abbey. On Monday there
will be a full drew rehearsal by all who
are to take part In the ceremonies, with th*
exception of coarse of the King and Queen.
One day this week the four knights of the
Garter and the four Duchesses, who are to
carry the golden canopies over the King
and Queen, had a rehearsal, but It was
found no easy matter. More rehearsals
will be required. It Is an absolute neces
sity that the bearers should walk tn most
exact step and keep the whole thing quite
taat. otherwise it would fall down about
their majesties beads At their first re
hearsal the duchesses were not at all suc
cessful. They found theifr canopy not only
heavy, but a most cumbersome and awk
ward thing to handle.
The thing’s organist, Mr. Alcock. and the
cbolr are rehearsing hard The musical
part of the service is to be magnificent.
There will be an orchestra of more than
seventy piece*, and a choir of more than
400 voices. I have heard some of the
music, which Sir Hubert Parry has com
posed for the occasion, and It is perfectly
lovely. The organ will begin to play about
nine o’clock, and with the band will give
selections of music untu the arrival of the
royal procession. Yesterday all the chor
isters of the Abbey, in their bright scarlet
cassocks, were rehearsing their part of the
ceremony. It is rather interesting to know
that, as the Queen’s procession, which come*
In a few minute* before the King's, passes
under the screen they will sing "Vlvat
regin a alexandra.” And I may mention
here that the Latin will net be pronounced
in the Italian fashion, for such Is not the
custom at Westminster. It will take some
rehearsing, too, to time the • interval be
fore the King arrive*, when the same
chorus will hail his approach by singing
“Vlvat Rex Eduardus septlmus.” The
music that Sir Hubert Parry has written,
aid which will be heard as their majesties
proceed up the nave, is singularly beauti
ful. It Is set to the words: "I was glad
when they said we will go Into the bouse of
th* Lord ” Stainers seven fold ••amen”
will be sung more than once during the
ceremony and the music of the “Nicane
Creed’’ is grand In the extrema.
The music for the communion service Is
principally plain Marbeck. and the effect of
Wagner Kr.i*er March at the end of the
service will simply magnificent the choir
joining in with specially written words ap
propriate to the occasion. The wonderful
march from Gounod -Reine De Saba” will
also be beard during the ceremony.
As to the seating arrangements tn the
Abbey, the number of gold staff officers
reaches 130. All of them will be in full
uniform or court dress. Ix>rd Edmund
Talbott himself wearing the uniform of
Eleventh Hussars. The Knights of vari
ous orders ought to present a very fine ap
pearance, as they will all wear the cloaks
of their order* Among them will be seen
Sir Redvers Bullar, who la a Knight of the
Grand Cross.

STAPLES. Minn., June 21.—A headend
collision occurred at Lower Lakeside,
two miles west of here, on the Northern
Pacific yesterday morning between No.
7, passenger, westbound, and No. 8, pas
senger. eastbound.
Engineer Scott, of No. 7, took the siding.
' expecting No. 8. which had the right of
way. to pas*. The latter, believing every
thing clear, came along at a high rate of
speed. The switch, however, had in some
way not yet explained, been turned, and
No. 8 dashed into the waiting train.
All the passengers escaped injury, ex
cept Harry Ziegler, of Hammond. Ind., in
the smoker of No. 8. which was telescoped.
He received serious internal injuries, and
was taken to the hospital at Brainerd.

NO WHISKY TO BE~
SOLD IN CLAY COUNTY
Under a decision rendered by Attor
ney General Boykin Wright. Clay
county will remain a dry county for the
next four years and no whisky can be
legally sold there within that time.
Several years ago a local dispensary
act was passed, giving the people the
right to abolish dispensaries whenever
they saw fit and empowering the mayor
and council of Fort Gaines to regulate
the liquor traffic when the people no
longer wanted a dispensary. Some time
ago the dispensary was given up and the
mayor and council Issued licenses to bar
rooms.
An election under the local option law
was held a short time ago and the county
was voted dry. The mayor and council
then appealed to the attorney general for
an opinion as to wether the local option
law has precedence over the local dis
pensary law and inquired if they could
not under the local law open up saloons
again. Attorney General Wright held
that they could not and his decision
means that Clay county will remain dry
for four years as under the law another
election cannot be held within that time.

FAIR TO GUE
BIG POIZE
MONEY
RACE PURSES AND PRIZES FOR
HORSE, POULTRY AND CAT
TLE SHOWS WILL DOUBT
LESS ATTRACT MANY.
The directors of the Southern Interstate
fair have 810,000 in sight for purses for the
races that will be run st, Exposition Park
during the time that the fair is in pro
gress. An equal amount is also in sight
for the horse show prises, while liberal
premiums will be offered for the cattle
and poultry shows.
The directors of the fair are manifesting
much interest In the enterprise and as th*
time draws nearer for completing the ar
rangement it becomes more certain that
the fair this fall will be one of the most
successful of the many that have been
held in this city. •
•’We are getting up a fair which will
make Atlanta look like London's principal
streets during the coronation parade,”
said Secretary Frank! Weldon Saturday.
"The main features of the fair are be
ing pushed along steadily. The cattle
show, poultry show, races, horse show and
amusements are all shaping up and the
outlook is certainly encouraging for every
one of these features. The business men
understand that our fairs are given for
the general good. They are not private
enterprises, but are worked up by public
spirited citiiens who give a great deal of
their time to make the enterprises success
ful. '
"The cattle show has many enthusiastic
friends outside the board and this depart
ment promises to be unusually fine. We
expect a large exhibit of live stock from
Georgia and neighboring states, as well
as fine herds from distant points. .
"We are receiving letters by every mall
from all parts of the country, showing
that the Southern Interstate fair Is well
known north and west, as well as here at
home. The directors are determined to
have strong attractions—features which
will have real merit. One feature which
will surely prove of great interest Is the
proposed exhibit of Atlanta manufactur
ers. They will fill an enlire building and
a number of the exhibits will be operated.
Atlanta has a great many industries with
which our people are unfamiliar, and this
display will be a revelation.
"We already have 110.000 In sight for
purses for the races and as much for the
horse show. There will be liberal pre
miums for the cattle and the poultry and
we are figuring on a midway which will
make the people feel like paying two ad
missions.

My suggestion Is that you subscribe at
once for one or more papers, enclosing
amount of subscriptions less 10 per cent
for five, 15 per cent for ten, 20 per cent for
fifteen, 26 per cent for twenty, end 30

If I do not publish I will refund money
in every Instance. Yours truly

terest by the people of Georgia, and es
pecially those who supported Mr. Guer
ry*in the recent race for governor. Nearly
every official at the capitol who received
copies of the circular sent subscription
money to Mr. Guerry at once. The pre
sumption is that The Georgian will be
warmly welcomed to Georgia journalism.

Sams, general superintendent of the Vir
ginia-Carolina Chemical company, and
Mr. Norman Pike, who is to be superin

an early commencement on the erection
of the fertiliser plant.
It will be one of the finest and most

for this purpose consists of 150 acres, and
has excellent water facilities, fronts on
two railroads, making it a very desirable
and accessible location. It is just outside
the city limit*, thus escaping the city tax
ation, while the city at the same time
derives all the benefits therefrom.
Architects are at work on the plans,
and as soon a-s submitted, contracts will
be let for'lumber, brick and other build
ing material Before the building can
commence, however, it is necessary to lay
tome sidetracks, and to this end the chief
engineer of the Central railroad and the
chemical company were making surveys
yesterday. ,
When the plant is completed it will cost
8150,000 and will turn out 860,000 annually
from Its pay rolls.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala., June 19.—A con
ference between the high officials of the
Frisco System and of the Seaboard Air

traffic arrangements. It is thought that
there will be several conferences, in fact,
and it is believed by many that the initial
one will be held probably tomorrow.
There are numerous reasons why each of
these systems should desire the co-opera
tion of the other, and it is not doubted
but they will get together, despite th,
legal fight which is still in progress.
GIRL IS DEAO
FOR LOVE
OF MAN
CLARA EPPING TOOK ROUGH ON
RATS AND DIED AT GRADY
HOSPITAL IN THE GREATEST
AGONY.
Clara Epping, a pretty servant girl, who
has worked for Dr. and Mrs. Monnish,
corner of Forsyth street and Carnegie
Way, took "rough on rat*” Tuesday af
ternoon, because of disappointment in a
love affair and died at the Grady hospital
Wednesday.
The girl’s determination to kill herself
was made rather su<Menly. She was at
tending to her duties about the house at
3 o’clock in the afternoon and at 4 she
was found vomiting violently. She ac
knowledged havihg taken the poison and
told the cause. She had been engaged and
was to have been married on last Friday.
Her wedding clothes were all bought, but
the date came and passed without a mar
riage. It was presumbably the man’s
fault. He Is in business near where the
Monnishes live. The girl said he had
promised marriage. She loved him vio
lently and when the ceremony was not
performed she -.ecidcd to die.
Tuesday afternoon she took the “Rough
on Rats." When it was learned what
was the matter the Grady hospital was
notified and an ambulance called. At the
hospital every effort was made to save
her life, but the drug had taken effect.
For a short time she managed to get
better, but grew worse and gradually
sank until death ensued. She was a
pretty, brown-haired Tennessee girl of
humble but honorable family and was of
German, descent, though American born
Her mother and stepfather live at St
Joseph, Tenn. She had been in Atlanta,
working for the Monnishes as a general
house servant for nearly two years.
The girl has been in love with
the man, who was the cause of her
death, for some time. She has spent every
sent she made for some time past on hats
and dresses and leaves quite a collection
of them, a sad reminder of the love that
was her undoing. She was 22 years old.
No Prayers Said for the Dead Girl.
Clara Epping, the unfortunate young
woman who killed herself because of the
perfidy of her sweetheart, was Satur
day burled in the potter’s field at West
View. No burial service was said over
the body of the girl, nor was there any
friend to drop a tear on the bare, round
mound that was raised over her body.
There were no flowers. The girl died for
the man she loved, but he paid no heed
to her sad ending, nor sent flowers to
pay a belated tribute to the love he had
awakened and cast away.
The body was taken to the cemetery
accompanied only by an undertaker and
Dr. W. A. Monnish, by whom she had
been employed when she took the poison
that ended her life. There was no ser
vice at the undertaking establishment and
no service at the grave. Silently the
girl was buried, but no prayer was said,
no song was sung.
The relatives of the girl in Tennessee
and in Ohio were wired of her death.
Answers were received, but no definite
instructions given as to the disposition
of the body. They did not order the re
mains sent home nor did they arrange
for a burial here.

excuse me and set this case for Monday
next. I am physically unable to go on.
I have been in court from morning until
night, as your honor knows, since the
beginning of the week. Owing to the
crowded condition of the court room
yesterday I was barely able to get
enough fresh air to sustain life.
"I am not able to try the case."
The plea of Lee Is not guilty, ihe de
fense to be insanity at the time the
murder was committed.

investigation, as just concluded in the
week's hearing, will be entered into a
second time. The same crowd of wit

with the medical experts, the sole dif
ference in the effect of the hearings
being that the late hearing was to estab
lish the question of Lee’s present sanity
and the murder trial of Monday next
will deal with the prisoner’s sanity at
the time the murder was committed.

TALLULAH FALLS
BE VIEWED WITHOUT COST
TALLULAH FALLS. Ga.. June 20.—The
owners of the Cliff House at Tallulah
Falls have decided not to make any charge
or demand any admission fee from those
who desire to view the lovely and ma
jestic falls of the Tallulah.
In the future this entire region of beau
ty will remain free to all. It was sug
gested to Messrs. Moss and company,
owners of the Cliff House estate that they
charge a small admission fee to those de
siring.to view the river, chasm, etc., from
their property, the intention being to
build new gangways, .bridges and obser
vation houses with the proceeds thus col
lected. This experiment has been tried
during the past few weeks, and doubtless
with unique success.
R. L. Moss, Jr., has decided against
such action, and so these grounds will re
main freely open to all, a paradise for the
excursionist.
Every year the number of visitors to
Tallulah Falls, during the summer season
becomes greater, and this season lg ex
pected to be a banner one. Already vis
itors are arriving by every train.
USE OF TOBACCO
MAKES BISHOP MAD
MILWAUKEE, Wis., June ».—Bishop
Nicholson, of the Milwaukee Episcopal
diocese, has created a mild sensation
amon| the priests and laity of the dio
cese by issuing a sort of* a pronuncla
mento against the use of tobacco. The
pronunclamento is submitted as an ob
ject lesson and while the bishop com
mends it to the good judgment of the
priests without decreeing against the use
of tobacco in so many words, neverthe
less it has created quite a considerable
stir. The bishop maintains that there is
not one trace of spiritual help or physi
cal gain from the use of tobacco, but un
told evils have resulted from Its use.
The extent to which the bishop’s ab
horrence toward tobacco goes is evi
denced by the statement that if it Is true
Sir Walter Raleigh introduced tobacco
into England. " ’Tis a pity that the ship
that carried him did not sink in the
ocean.”

INSTANTANEOUS
HYPNOTISM.
Remarkable Experiments of Captain
C. F. Strong, of Dryden, N. L,
Disclose the Tremendous
Power of Hypnotic
. Influence.
How to Control the Minds
of Others Without
Their Knowledge.
"I can produce hypnosis instantane
ously,” says Capt. C. F. Strong, of Dry
den, New York. "So far I have been abl* :
to control every one whom I have tried to
influence. I am now treating a case of
paralysis with remarkable success, and
will effect a permanent cure. My own
success with the new science has been
most phenominal, and I believe that every
man that wishes to get the most out of
life should understand the science of hyp
notism and personal magnetism. It is a
subject that can be easily mastered by
any person of ordinary intelligence. Some
time ago I wrote the American College
of Sciences of Philadelphia for a copy of
their free book on,hypnotic influence. To
my delight and surprise I found that this
wonderful power largely depended upon
the mastery of a few secrets which were
fully and completely explained to me.”
A ; JR
\
wsl
CAPT. C. F. STRONG.
"After studying the instructions for
a few evenings, I selected three young
men as subjects and found that I could
control them perfectly. Money could not
purchase the knowledge which I have al
ready gained. Hypnotism develops within
one a power and a force* of character
which can not be acquired in any other
way. I believe it is far more valuable
than medicine in the treatment of most
diseases and bad habits. It cures where
medicine falls." * ,
Five thousand copies of the handsome
ly illustrated work to which Capt.
Strong refers are to be given away by the
American College of Sciences absolutely
free for the purpose of acquainting the
public with the practical uses and marvel
ous benefits to be derived from a study
of the sciences of hypnotism, personal
magnatism. magnetic healing, etc. The
book explains how people have been se
cretly influenced without their know
ledge; how hypnotism may be
used to develop a wonderfully magnetic
personality. It treats on new processes
for developing will power; how to influ
ence people at a distance; how to make
others carry out your Ideas and think
they are carrying out their own. How
people have achieved success and grown
wealthy through the practical use of hyp
notic power.
The work is handsomely Illustrated by
half-tone engravings, and Is by far tlie
most remarkable publication of its kind
ever isued. Every page is brimful of in
tensely interesting and practical informa
tion. It is a book that should be in every
home; it is enthusiastically indorsed by
the most prominent ministers of the Gos
pel, lawyers, doctors and business men of
this country. Remember that it- cost*
you absolutely nothing. If you want a
copy write today. Address American

ICE IN AUGUSTA
SELLS FOR A SONG
AUGUSTA, June 21.—An ice war is on
in Augusta which is greatly enjoyed by
the people. It has brought down the price
of ice to nearly one-half its former price.
This is caused by the fight between the
new company and the allied old compa
nies, which has reduced the price of ice
to 20 cents per 100 pounds. One effect of
this fight is the attitude of the retail
dealers, who complain that the companies
deliver ice by retail to customers at such
low price that the retail dealers are vir
tually krv>cked out and these latter claim
as a measure of protection to them the
manufacturers should be compelled to
take out a retail license for every delivery
wagon they i un. ;
They have appealed to the mayor, and
the matter is now being considered by the
city attorney.
Meantime the ice war is a God-send to
the people this torrid weather.
