DOWN BY COMPTROLLER.
BELL TELEPHONE COMPANY AND GAS AND
STREET RAILROAD COMPANIES.
Special to The Herald.
ATLANTA, Ga., May 30.—The tax returns of the Southern Bell Tele
phone Company; the gas companies of Atlanta, Columbus, Augusta,
Macan and Columbus, were turned down yesterday by Comptroller-Gen
eral Wright. He contends that the net earnings of these companies
warrant a considerable increase in the property returns. All have re
turned with only a slight Increase over the returns made last year. Gen
eral Wright says the returns of the Southern Bell Telephone Company
should be greatly increased.
The returns of the Seaboard Air Line were also held up. The offic
ials of the road made no returns as to tlielr capitalization, no sworn
report as to the gross and net earnings or operating expenses. The at
torneys for the road have been notified of the comptroller-general’s action.
The state, through the comptroller-general, has accepted the second
returns of the Atlanta, Birmingham & Atlantic’s trackage from Monte
zuma to Talbotton, as the new road Increases its valuation frdm $3,000
to $5,000 per mile.
A BIT OF HISTORY.
MICHAEL ANGELO.
'Flic Removal of the Obellxk From
Ilgypt by the Americunx.
“Nothing ever told to illustrate the
friendship of Russians for Americans
will strike a more responsive chord In
this country than the story of the ac-
tlou of a Russian admival at Alexan
dria, in Egypt, when Lieutenant Com
mander Gorriuge, U. S. N., was about
to ship the obelisk (now in Central
park, New York city) to the United
States,” said an old diplomatic official.
“The English and French in Egypt
didn’t want the western world to have
uu obelisk, and court intrigue soon
persuaded the khedive to rescind his
gift. Gorriuge had only a few men
with hill), but he met the vacillation of
the khedive by erecting a stockade
around tiie monolith and raising high
above it the stars and stripes.
“Mobs of Egyptians, incited by eu-
vious French or English, continued to
harass the handful of Americans. As
the time for. lowering the obelisk
drew near their patriotic feeling reach
ed a climax, and Gorriuge began to
fear some sort of violence which might
damage the stone and prevent its ship
ment. As we all know, it was placed
on trunnions like a cannon, turned
over on its side and lowered to the
ground, after which It was rolled on
cannon halls to the water’s edge and
shoved into the hold of the Densons,
the bow plates of which had been re
moved as slio lay in dry dock. >
“In the harbor was a Russian squad
ron. The admiral a few days before
the time set for lowering the obelisk
sent Commander Gorriuge a polite
note saying he was much interested in
his novel engineering feat and would
be pleased if he could be permitted to
• witness it. Gorriuge returned a cour
teous invitation to the admiral and his
staff ami thought nothing more about
it. He was concerned rather about
what the excited Egyptian mob might
do when it came face to face with the
prospect of losing its historical treas
ure.
“At daybreak on the appointed day
boats containing 400 Russians put off
from the squadron of the white czar
and formed a hollow square about the
obelisk. Within were the Americans
and the admiral. Outside surged the
Egyptian mob, held back by the brls-
' tling Russian bayonets. When the
obelisk was ready a corner of the
square opened and the huge stone start
ed seaward on its journey to the Unit
ed States. -Next day the Russian ad
miral sent another polite note to Com
mander Gorringe thanking him for his
courtesy la permitting him to view the
lowering of the obelisk, which, he said,
he had very much enjoyed.”—New
York Press.#

muli* Maxtor.
Two bays wore herding swine In
Italy. They were evidently discussing
some very important subject, for they
were earnest at it. A man approach
es I. and the boys separated, each for
his own side of the pasture. The man
was angry and was shhklng his hand
at them. The boys said nothing: they
drove their swine in and were quiet as
aMuouso about It. The man had said
they should stay o.ut until dark, and
the* sun had not even set yet. After
they had driven the swine to their re
spective places each crept to ids room,
took his clothes and tied them hi a
bundle. This done, they botli crept
down and ran to the road which led
to Rome. One’s name was Peter; the
other Michael Angelo. Both were poor
boys. They tramped and tramped, and
the first tiling they did when they
readied Rome was to go to church.

cardinal bad occasion to go to the

employment in the cardinal’s kitchen.
The cardinal, upon seeing all the pic
tures/ was dumfounded with their
accurateness.' He called Peter and
Michael upstairs and asked who had
drawn them. Michael confessed he
had, but said he thought he could rub
them out again. The cardinal explain
ed to him that it was all right so far
as the wall was concerned. He took
Michael and sent him to a drawing

Aunt Margaret Oliver Does to Her
Reward After Long Life of Useful
ness.
Answering the screams of her little
3-year-old daughter, Mrs. W. E. Woot
en ran into the room occupied by the
child and her nurse, Margaret Oliver,
about 5 o’clock this morning, to find
the faithful old servant cold in death.
The little girl, whose rearing had been
entrusted to Aunt Margaret, woke up
early this morning. She attempted to
awaken her nurse, but was unable to
do so. She began to cry, but the
faithful old soul, always so quick to
answer the slightest whimper of her
charge, was not to he aroused from
that sleep which had come to end a
good, true life.
The Wooten child and h6r nurse oc
cupied a room ■ on the second floor.
They went upstairs about^ the usual
hour last night and retired. Aunt
Margaret was not complaining, but it
had been known for some time that
her heart was diseased- and it was
feared that the end might come soon
and suddenly. It is probable that she
lay down last night and went peace
fully to sleep, a sleep from which
Death took her gently. It seems fit
ting that so easy a death should have
closed such a life of gentleness.
Aunt Marghret was 69 years- old.
Before the war she belonged to the
Hiisman family, and was trained by
Dr. Hiisman, father of Dr. P. L. Hiis-
iilan, for a nurse. Having a natural
aptitude for this profession, she soon
became exceptionally , proficient, and
for thirty years she had followed her
calling in Albany. There never was
a better nurse than she, or one more
gentle and attentive.
Aunt Margaret was a good Chris
tian woman, and her life was a con
sistent one. She numbered her friend*;
by the hundreds, and, even though
she was a negro, of her it might be
said:
“None knew her but to love her,
None named her but in praise.”
Funeral Tomorrow.
The funeral will take place tomor-
church onforc4BuOal
row afternoon from the A. M. E.
church, on Washington street,* tomor
row afternoon at 3 o'clock. All the
friends of the deceased, white and col
ored, are .invited to attend.

It Can Speak Every Langunce That
It Once Hears.
There is a bird of Gulaua which de
serves to be. widely known. This is
the “tion-tion” (pronounced tee-yawn
tee-yawu) on account of its cry. This
bird,, Is valued by .the natives for Its
brilliant plumage, especially the tall
feathers, which they wear in their
headdress and make clothing of, blit
the diost interesting characteristic of
this strange bird is Its imitative fac
ulty. -
A naturalist beenrae acquainted with
the bird’s powers in a curious man
ner. He was awakened from Ills sleep
one night by hearing cries of distress
in French. Some one was being mur
dered not far away, so much was ab
solutely certain. There were cries for
mercy aud help, uttered In excellent
Frerfch,. shrieks of agony and groans.
Jumping to his feet he awoke ills In
dian guides, saying.that they must nil
go to the assistance of the victim. At
that moment the yolce uttered a shout
pf ironical laughter, followed by “tlon-
tlon.” and the guide's thrned over, with
a gruut of vexation. The learned natu^
ralist had a great deal to learn, they
remarked sarcastically.
The tion-tion is the worst of chatter
boxes. It can, and does, imitate every
sound itliears, with the utmost fidelity.
It can speak all languages, giving the
proper accent and intonation. Tills is
a strong statement, but it is correct. It
will shout.for assistance in the best
English or German, and 3*011 will really
believe that some fellow countryman
is in dire distress until the bird inter
rupts its own pleadings with a ddrislve
laugh. Then you feel like (on© who 1ms
