An Interesting report regarding the
(development of the musical sense in
horses was made by a committee of
German zoologists and botanists. The
report says; “The investigations as to
the musical sense of horses have showif
that that sense fs very poorly develop
ed in these animals. It lias been prov
ed beyond doubt that horses have no
notion whatever of keeping time to
music, and 'that at circuses they do.
not dance according to the tune, but
that the musicians have to keep time
according to the steps of the animals.
“Other Investigations show that
horses do not understand military
trumpet signals. It, la only the rider
or the animal's instinct of Imitation
which induces horses tCf make the
moves required by the signal, but no
horse without a rider, however care-
uliy trained, takes the slightest no
ice of a trumpet signal, and the same
observation has been made on a large
number ef cavalry horses without
riders.”

ATLANTA, GA., Jan. 16.—Under a decision of the Georgia supreme
court, the Southern Railway Company will have to submit to the trial
court, where it claimed the right to go because it is a Virginia and not
a Georgia corporation. TIiIb tnB brought about by the fact that the
Southern’s engineer, alleged to be responsible for the accident which
is the basis of a suit, Is a resident of Georgia, and la made eode’end-
and with the railroad company.
H.. M. Grizzle was killed by a Southern train in Gwinnett county.
T. A. O'Neal, of Fulton county, was the engineer of the train at? the
time the accident occurred. It Is claimed thdt Grizzle’s death was due
to carelessness on the part of the engineer, It being alleged that he
failed to give the proper alarm signals.
The widow Is suing for $30,000 alleged damages. The case was
brought up in the Gwinnett superior court. O’Neal filed demurrer, claim
ing he Ib a resident of Fulton county. ‘The Southern claimed the suit
should be transferred to the United States circuit court, as the road is
a Virginia corporation. '
The supreme court Holds that the engineer and the railroad com
pany can he sued jointly and that the case can be tried in the <!ounty in
which the accident occurred.

the suggestion of several enterprising
citizens, I take the liberty of address
ing this communication through the
Herald to the City Council.
Item-lj The guard house, a wood
en structure a fraction larger than
the New Albany chicken coop, should
be built out of briok, with three com
partments, one 'or negroes,'one for
females, and one for white people.
The necessity often occurs to impris
on in the present' building whites and
blacks. They pan be seen in the hall
way side by side, appealing to frienda
and strangers to secure their release
fropi ;6uclt a plan o(- imprisonment
and detention, becaifsp. from cold und
Improper sanitary surroundings, their
Ijj.v .
health is endangered. > •
Item 2. The city pound, fchero
mules owned by the city and stock
impounded is now In such a condition
that ah ordinary hog would suffer
from exposure,' and if susceptible to
pneumonia or la gHppe ills life would
be endangered. Any'citizen can pass
through Court House avenue now and
from a careful Inspection of the ^prem
ises he would see the mules now
standing in the mud and slush. The
mu<l in my opinion is now more than,
six inches deep, and it Is beypnd the
power of any society for, the preven
tion of cruelty to animals to calculate
the pain and bodily Injury to the
stock to be Impounded, not estimating
the damage from a monetary valua
tion to them.
Item 3. The wonderful growth of
Albahy requires a new building, under
which should be an office for the
chief of police and’a place for the
lockers of the entire police force. A
comfortable stove should be placed
therein, where the policemen could in
the quiet hours Of night enter only for
a few moments to warm themselves.
At the same time, all the policemen
at separate hours could bo required
to report at the marshal’s office to
perform any duties the nature of
their offices require. -The necessity
of this will be readily seen when an
emergency telephone call is sent to
police headquarters for Immediate, re
sponse. Without employing an extra
,policeman it is, safe to predict that
Should this be done, their presence
would: Insure what other cities have
reserve police force without extra
expense. ' The City Council lie cer
tainly going to protect the property

The Famous Mamelukes.
The mamelukes were a body of sol
diers who ruled Egypt for several hun
dred years. Their name Is derived
from an Arab word which means slave,
and they Werp originally captives from
Caucasian countries. In the middle of
the thirteenth century they were Intro
duced Into Egypt as the sultan’s body
guard, but upon the accession of Turnn
Slinb, whom they bated, they over
threw him and elected one of them
selves In his place. For nearly 800
years they held the power thus usurp
ed, and even when compelled to resign
It they lmd fliueh Influence In Egypt.
In 1811 nearly all the mamelukes were
massacred by Mohammed All, and
those who then escaped to Nubia were
destroyed III 1820.
The Pillar,, of Hercules,
The "Pillars of Hercules’! was the
name anciently given to the mountains
of Calpe and Abyla, standing opposite
to each other, the one on tlio European
and the other on tho. Afrlc-n. shore of
the strait which connects the Mediter
ranean sea with the Atlantic ocean.
The mountains are now called the
Rock of Gibraltar, and Jebel Zatnnt.
‘The word Gibraltar, which Is at pres
ent also applied to the strait, was
originally “Jebel. Tarfe," or ‘/Mountain
of Tarlc,” Tarlc being the name of the
leader of the first Mohammedan hand
which crossed at that point over lotp
Spain In the year A. D. 710.
