"THE "INCORRUPTIBLE One of the most striking figures in the French Revolution was Maximilien Robespierre, who was born on May 6. 1758. He was the head and shoulders of the French revolution, frequently re maining in the background, howevefl, leaving the work of carrying out his plans with Danton and Marat. There had been turbulent political times in France for several years. The king had made repeated concessions to the republicans. while he cherished schemes for escaping their control; but each month added to his humiliations and to the boldness of his enemies. Finally in September. 1792. the National Conven tion was organized, the Monarchy abol ished End France was declared a repub lic » The convention was divided into two parties, bitterly hostile to each other, one called Hie "Mountain Party." anad the either the "Girondists.” Os the former, the leaders were Robespierre. Danton and Murat, noted for their wickedness and cruelty. One of the most eminent of the Girondist* was Vergniaud. distin guished for his eloquence. The Mountain party having triumphed in me convention, the Girondist leaders were guillotined. The Reign of Terror was then inaugurated, during which the revolutionary tribunal, controlled by Robespierre, caused thousands to be seized and hurried to the guillotine. Among these victims was the unfortu nate Marie Antionette (October. 1793.) Alison in his "History of Europe,” says: “Night and day the cars incessant ly discharged victims into the prison; JOHN S. BIGOV WILL ILLLGLD TO BL FRIUD Alleging that the recorded will of the late Judge John S. Bibgy is a fraud, and that it was drawn while the deceased was of unsound health and mentality and while he was under the influence of his wife, the children and heirs-at-law of the deceased filed a petition in the or dinary’s court of Fulton county Tuesday against Mrs. Elizabeth Kate Bigby, widow of the deceased. The plaintiffs are Hammel S. Bigby, Mabel Bigoy and Bernice Bigby, and ac tion was brought by Mabel Bigby, their next friend. Judge Bigby died intestate. On April 25, 1898. Shortly after his death, a will was filed and probated, which left all his property, real and personal, to his wid ow, Mrs. Elizabeth Kate Bigby, and mi;de her testementary guardian of the minor children, and relieved iter of giving bend or making return before the ordi nary. The date of this will is January 23. 1896. CHARGE "PRETENDED” SIGNATURE. The signature to this will is pretended, alleges the petition; it was filed by "those interested.” alleges the petition; end the whole proceedings in connection with It were fraudulent, alleges the peti tion. The witnesses to the wilt are John F. Bell. Edgar Dunlap and L. W. Freeman. It was recorded by Ordinary Hulsey. The petition sets forth at length Judge Bigby's standing in the community, and represents him to have been a very wealthy man. But prior to his death. It asserts, lie weakened both physically and mentally; and the petition alleges that liis wife seized this opportunity to influ ence him for her own gain. "She had him so completely under her control.” alleges the petition, “that what ever she directed or told him to do he did. And while he was insane and under this direction he exercised the will. This ursoundness of mind, insanity, and men ial condition were fully understood by his wife, and she took advantage of his con dition to make him leave all the estate to her, which was a fraud on her part.” Orlando McClendon Is made party to the alleged fraud, the petition alleging that he was brought into court as the "pre tended" guardian ad litem for the peti tioners, and that this was done for the purpose of carrying out the plan to get possession of the judge’s property. Hearing of the case is set for the first Monday in June. SAY VENUS SAILED UNDER SEALED ORDERS WASHINGTON, May 4.—lt is said that the steamer Venus, which cleared from New Orleans Saturday night sup posedly laden with munitions of war for the Madriz army in Nicaragua, sailed under sealed orders to put In at Port Bllze, British Honduras, where there is no cable, and change her peaceful dress of a merchantman for the war paint of a lighting ship. Representatives of the Elstratla fac tion tn Washington are preparing to make their representations to| the United States and ask to have war ships off the Nicaraguan coast watch the vessel. Backed by the diplomats of the Central America republics, friendly to the revolutionary cause and a crew of lawyers keen on internation al law, they are seeking the sllgntest competent pretext upon which the United States could be called upon to intervene. They claim It was their show of le gal backing alone which prevented the Venus from shipping as members of the crew about 400 adventurers hired to fight In the Madriz army. IS IT UP TO PORTER TO WAKE PASSENGERS? Chairman H. Warner Hill says that if a railroad passenger lias nought a sleep ing car berth to his destination, it is up | to the conductor and porter to see that i he is waked in time to get off where he 'is supposed to alight. But that if he riding in a day coach ne is supposed to maintain hs own wakefulness, and if he passes his destination it Is his own fault. Chairman Hill replies in this manner to a query that has come to him from a Georga citizen. The aforesaiu Georgia citizen had an engagement recently to address a Sunday school in Macon. He boarded a train bound for that beautiful little city, and when he waked up he was at Cochran, several miles to tne southward and too far to walk back oi catch a trolley. AMERICAN TOBACCO ’ HAS ANOTHER DIVIDEND ' NEW YORK. May 4.-*-The American I Tol acco company today declared a quar- I ttrly dividend of 2 1-2 per cent on the i common stock and an extra dividend of I 7 1-2 per cent. A quarterly dividend of 1 1-2 ' per cent was declared on the preferred I stock. i All these dividends were the same as j those for the last quarter. The extra dld iidend declared a year ago for the eorre • spending quarter was 5 per cent. weeping mothers and trembling orphans were thrust in without mercy witli the brave and the powerful: the young, the beautiful, the unfortunate, seemed in a peculiar manner the prey of the assas sins. Fifteen only were at first placed on the chariot, but their number was scon augmented to thirty, and gradually rose to 80 persons who daily went forth to the place of execution. When the fall of Robespierre put a stop to the mur ders, arrangements had been made to in creasing it to 150. An immense aqueduct to remove the pore had been dug as far as the Place St. Antoine, and four men were dally employed in emptying the blood of victims into that reservoir.” The cruel and wicked men concerned in these attrodties almost invariably met with a violent death. Marat was assas sinated by Charlotte Corday. The faction of Robespierre, triumphing over that of Danton, caused hint and his adherents to be guillotined; and a few months af terward. this dreadful period closed by the execution of Robespierre himself, tn 1794. When Rohespiere ascended the fatal car to go to his death, his head was en veloped in a bloody cloth, his color was livid, and his eyes sunk. When the pre cession came opposite his house, it stop ped. and a group of women danced about the nier of him whose chariot-wheels they would have dragged the day before over a thousand victims. Robespierre mounted the scaffold last, and the mo ment his head fell, the applause was tre mendous. In cases the event was announced to the prisoners by the wav *ng of handkerchiefs from the tops of houses. PUT CONBEBmiOB POWER IN PRESIDENT ST. LOUTS. May 4.—Addressing a joint meeting of the Farmers’ union and the people of St. Louis at the Coliseum today. President Taft devoted himself to a tech nical discuseion of conservation. He de clared the term covered a wide range of subjects. “But as concerns congress at this time," lie added, “conservation resolves itself into the necessity of passing at once the bill which will give to the executive un questioned authority to withdraw lands for power sites and other purposes. With this power in the hands of the president of the United States we can sit comfor tably by and discuss and devise the best means of disposing of the great public domain to the benefit of present and fu ture generations.” MET BY BUSINESS MEN.

The possibility of a veto of the railroad bill was suggested to President Taft here today. He would not discuss the matter, saying laughingly that he is not as familiar with the bill as it stand to day as he was when it was first present ed to congress. The president added he would go over the bill carefully and his future action would depend entirely on the shape in which the measure finally passes. LION KEEPERTS KILLED BY WILD BEASTS IN CAGE FOREST CITY, la.. May 4.—George Tardy, a Hon keeper, was killed here yesterday during a circus parade when an enraged male Hon sprang upon him and bore him to the floor of the cage. One arm was almost torn from his body and his throat and back were terribly lacerated. Two female Hons in the same game followed tjlieir mate in the attack, and the three fought desperately for possession of their victim. Elephant keepers drove off the lions with bull-hooks and removed Tardy from the cage. M rSCELLANEOUS AGENTS—Portrait* 25c. Framr* 15c. Sheet Pic tures Ic. Stereoscopes 25c. Views Ic. 30 day*’ credit.
