ROME. Ga.. March 18- Picturesque tn Its beginning. and big with the promise of a useful career, the Martha Berry School for Girls, the first institution of its kind in the south, has just been or ganized in permanent form. In plan and purpose the girls’ school is siimilar to that of the Berry school, famous through out the United States as a splendid in dustrial school for mountain boys. In brief, it is to take poor girls from the mountain districts of the south, who have few or no advantages and oppor tunities. into the model home provided in a building erected for their own use, and train them for useful and happy lives in their own homes. STARTS IN SHANTY. The Martha Berry School for Girls is the answer to the question so often asked Miss Berry In her travels throughout the country. “What are you doing for the girls; they need training as much as the boys?" The girls' school began in much the tame way as the boys’ school, now an established Institution with 180 stu dents. Each originated as a Sunday school. The new girls' school had its be ginning in a Sunday school started by Miss Berry tn an old shanty, containing but one room, for the children of the renters on the farms surrounding the boys’ scnool. There were 30 or 30 chil dren within a short radius, who attended neither week-day nor Sunday school, be cause there was neither to he attended. The shanty was made attractive without, and comfortable within, a teacher for the day school was secured, and a mem ber of the faculty of the boys’ school ap pointed to take charge of the Sunday school. Thus the work for the children at “Sunshine Shanty" began, and the chi’dren from all the country round flocked there. As the work grew, means were found to care for it. and the .picturesque log house shown in the accompanying illus tration was built, giving room for a dozen students and three teachers. Every place has been filled and there are dozens of others seeking admission. Miss Alberta Patterson, formerly of U. S. BARS THE MOUSTACHE FROM SOME OF ITS SERVANTS BY RALPH SMITH. WASHINGTON. D. C., March 18,-The United States government has placed a stamp of disapproval of hirsute adornments of all kinds. Indeed, so strong is the prejudice against whis kers, mustaches, etc., that the tiniest mustache precludes the possibility of its owner entering a certain branch of the government service. It is insisted, how ever, that the gtrirnment has not en tered Into any conspiracy with the man ufacturer of any safety razor, although it is conceded that this latest step is but another evidence of the growing unpopu larity of hairy faces. The ruling against hirsute adornments is not one of Dr. iTarvey W. Wiley’s latest moves, nor is it any new and novel military or naval requirement. It has the indorsement of the United States senate itself. Indeed, the regu- Read This All Who Suffer from Catarrh.

Coming right dowfi to cases, the rules committe of the United States senate, which controls the restaurant that sup plies the senators, the senate employes and the public with their midday meals, has ordered that no waiter be employed in the restaurant who does shave at least once a day. Nineteen negroes have been made to feci the effect of the order, and. needless to say. 13 negroes appear for work every morning with shiny faces. The rule ap plied to "Sex" the faithful old darky, whose "I years' continuous service never caught him without a stubby little mus tache. which in later years turned to a snowy white. Except for the strange, or, rather, unusual appearance it gave this old negro, it is likely that the new ruling would have never attracted comntut.

The senate restaurant is operated un der the direction of the rules committee, as stated, and the purpose of the com -snlttee is to improve the quality of the food, character of the service and rnain- I tain moderate prices. There has been much complaint about the service, al though Dick Shaw, the negro who has general supervision, and who is, in fact, chief cook and bottle-washer, has done his best. PUT NEGROES ON ROLLS. After worrying along for months with unsatisfactory service, the rules commit tee drclded. beginning March 15. to put the waiters on the rolls of the senate, as employes of the government, to be com pensated at the rate of >l2O per year—sso per month. The committee decided, also, that no man who wore a mustache or whiskers should be employed as a waiter. Until that eventful decision became known, most of the waiters wore mustaches, or whiskers. There were, however, a de mand for razors last Monday, and when the men appeared they shaved clean. "Yes," explained Dick Shaw, when asked about the new rule, "the commit tee decided that none of the waiters should wear whiskers or mustache I In dorsed the rule. I think it is a aood one.

This instruction is in addition to their dally work and class room instruc tion In the esentials of a general educa tion. It is In this home feature that the school differ from the ordinary instruction in “domestic science.” The dozen girls who are pioneers in the plan realize that the success of the school largely depends up on them, and they are working earnestly. They make a good appearance In their serviceable uniforms of blue serge with white shirtwaists, and go about their tasks eager to learn and anxious to succeed. In the light of the great success of the boys’ school, started eight years ago. under similar conditions, and in view of the undoubted need which the Mar tha Berry School for Girls seeks to meet, one may safely forecast the years, and predict a great growth and a wonderful future for this work, begun in a modest way for the girls of the southern moun tains. PLAN FARM STATION AT FEDERAL PRISON BY RALPH SMITH. WASHINGTON. March 17.—After a con ference with Congressman Livingston, O. B. Ladow. superintendent of prisons of the department of justice, has taken under consideration the advisability of having an agricultural experiment station estab lished at Atlanta in connection with the federal prison. In the event the plar meets with the approval of Attorney Gen eral Wickersham, to whom it will be sub mitted, the department of agriculture will be urged to make adequate provision for the station. It is believed that an experimental ag ricultural station at the federal prison will prove of inestimable, value not only to the United States government, but the farm ers of Georgia. The plan contemplates that the 2W acres of land in the prison en closure shall be cultivated by the pris oners, who are to be instructed by ex perts detailed by the agricultural depart ment.

They will plant and care for your trees on shares, so you should make a thousand dollars a year. It is never hot, never cold. The health conditions are perfect. All first-class hotels and restaurants en force such a rule. "The idea comes from the French. I am informed. The French waiters used to wear fancy mustaches, curled and well kept, but the French dishes used to tempt the waiters and they were wont to fre quently sample the dishes before they’ served them. In many Instances, the waiter would neglect to wipe off the mus tache and the unmistakable evidence that hfa favorite dish had been sampled by the waiter would anger the patron. Hence it was decided, years pgo, to oulaw the mustache." M NEGROES LYNCHED Bi HUMS CROWDS Men, Alleged to Have Aided Jail Delivery, Are Hanged in Court House Square MARION. Ark., March 18.—Bob Austin and Charles Richardson, negroes, were lynched at an earty hour this morning in the court house square by a mob of 300 citizens. The victims were charged with aiding and abetting a jail delivery which occurred here Monday night. Richardson was arrested in Memphis jesterday and was brought here early Inst night. While on the way to the local jail a mob overpowered Sheriff Lew is and secured the prisoner. He con fessed to complicity in aiding tlie es cape of prisoners and implicated Bob Austin. The latter was immediate!}’ ap prehended and it looked as If the tremb ling prisoners would be hanged on the spot. Cooler counsel prevailed, however, and the two men were given over to the sheriff. At 3 o’clock this morning a mob quiet ly formed and marched to jail. The ne groes were secured and hanged to a tree in front of the court house. The mob was orderly and went about its work in businesslike fashion. v The bodies of the victims were cut down at 7 o'clock today and were turned over to negro friends for burial. During the night several boys stoned negro residents which led to the report that an attack was being made on these people. All is quiet today.

J3?’ IIbeIB L uirrrirfWr£ •- g SB": ' Jir r’T ” Wm-' I Thia Is Annt Nancy Phillips standing beside the old brown spinning wheel which she has used for more than 50 years and on which her mother spun be fore her. In a little clearing among the pin trees on a hillside not far from the corner of West Peachtree and 16th streets, form ing a strange contrast to the modern lawns and dwellings which have grown up around it, nestles a tiny cabin, un touched of time. The footpath winding toward it leads straight into the long ago. Inside the open doorway sits an old woman at her spinning wheel. Twiilight shadows are falling as she spins, and the evening wind among the treetops mur murs a whispering answer to the whir ring reel; the purple sunset splendor fades from the western sky, while dark ening shadows creep in across the floor, but still the wheel whirls, still the un broken thread winds back and forth Up on the spindle. More than half a century long is that slender thread, as long as a human life. A young girl fastened it first upon the reel and dreamed a maiden s dream as she watched it twist and lengthen, catch ing in its fibres the perfume of many 4 new-blown rose, the breath of many a May. But the Maytime of the spinner's life h«a sped and the roses have been faded many a year. She is a gray haired woman now; her work is almost done; slower and slower the wheel swings, lower and lower the reel rings, but the thread still holds. Her fingers have lost none of their light touch; they are still delicately, won derfully deft. "Does the thread never break, Aunt Nancy?'’ asked a visitor who had come at twilight to bide an hour with the aged dame. "Aye, that it dues, sometimes, but it is quickly mended—unless—unless ” "Unless what, Aunt Nancy?” The old woman mused in silence for a while and then began to speak, slowly, to the soft accompaniment of the mur muring wheel. And this is the story she told of how the thread broke one ill fated night lon, long ago. '* My youngest brothers, James and Joe, were walking in the woods one even ing in the dusk, after a hard day's toil, when Joe, who was the youngest of all and a timid, wistful lad given to dream ing with his eyes wide open, suddenly gripped the other by the arm: "Listen, brother, listen!” "What do you hear, little brother, that your hand is trembling so?" "I hear strange voices whispering in the night! Hush! You can hear them now; they are calling me, calling, call ing. I am afraid. Hark, brother, tell me, can you hear them?” "I only hear the winds of evening sigh ing in the pinetops.” "Hist, now you must h2ar It, brother; it is closer.” "I only hear the night-birds stirring in the branches.” "Oh, listen now my brother, and tell me truly wbat you hear, for it is drawing nearer.” "I hear the dead leaves rustling, but nothing more.” "Whist ye now, my brother, for the fear is come upon me—that strange, low murmuring call —it fills the air! ' • "Only the whirring of a frightened pheasant's wings.” “But hark ye now, my brother, you must hear the voices, for they are calling me away, away, and my soul is sick with fear.” "Then fear no longer, little brother, for I see the light of our own cabin window sh’ning from tne nin. Now I, too, hear the murmurin; 'voice and it is only sis ter's spinning wheel. 3ut your ears must be far keener than mire, it 'twas that you heard back in the fores,.” “ 'Twas that same sound back in «.Ae forest, brother, and now I know it was sister's spinning wheel, bus. the fear Is still upon me.” So arm in arm the brothers entered the little cabin. And as they entered, the wheel ceased whirling. And the murmur ing ceased. “Pray tell me, sister mine, what have you spun this night, that he alone should hear the whirring music of the wheel afar in the forest, miles across the hills?" "Fine white thread to weave into a soft white shirt for little brother s wedding I day. And that is why his ears alone heard the call from far across the hills. But now the thread is broken, and I can not mend it, because my hands are tremb ling so. though I know not why.” But when nex tmorning dawned, she knew, for the younger brother waa a GRIT WILL PROBABLY 1 BECOUHGIIIDIffITE Friends of McLendon’s Sue- ■ cessor Insist That He Run for the Office (Special Dispatch to The Journal.) j l SAVANNAH.

My hands and feet would get cold; I could scarcely breathe, and could feel myself gradually sinking away until I would be unconscious. Those about me could not tell there was life in me. After these spells I would be very weak and nervous, sleepless and without appetite; had neuralgia in my head and heart.
