Mrs. C. E. Mason, Mrs. J. B.
Simmons, Mrs. T. A. Capps and
Miss Carrie Davenport, are
in Atlanta, attending the conven¬
tion of the Ladies’ Home Mission
Society, which opened on Tuesday.
Rev. J. B. Allen and wife, were
in Banks county on Wednesday
having gone there to be present at
a wedding at which Mr. Allen was
the officiating minister.
Mr. J. D. Moseley, of Macon,
Ga., and formerly of the town of
Toccoa, was wedded to Miss Ida
Haves, of Toccoa, in this city, yes¬
terday afternoon at 4 o’clock. The
weddeng took place at the home of
Mr. T. C. Vickery, 25 Gartrell
street, and was performed by Rev.
Walker Lewis, pastor of the First
Methodist church. The couple are
well known in Atlanta and have
many friends not only here but
elsewhere in the state. The wed¬
ding was a quiet one, only a few
friends being present.—Monday’s
Atlanta Constitution.
This wedding was one of unus¬
ual interest to the many Toccoa
friends of the popular young coup¬
le. Mrs. Moseley is the accom¬
plished daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
W. J. Hayes and everywhere that
she is known, has been a social fa-
vorite, and the recipient of many
delightful attentions. Besides pos¬
sessing a beautiful personage, she
has all those sterling qualities that
go to make up a good wife.
Mr. Moseley is a most promising
young business man, and will un-
doubtedly make his mark in the
world. He has the respect and
confidence of all who know him
and a bright prospect opens before
these two young people. They
will reside in Macon during the
winter.
FLOOD SUFFERERS RELIEF.
No Statutory Prohibition and
Supplies Will be Forwarded
Washington, Oct. 15.—The ap¬
plication to the war department for
assistance for the flood sufferers in
Georgia, which was made by Hon.
Willim Clifton, secretary of state
of Georgia, and Representative Liv¬
ingston, will be granted. Secre¬
tary Alger referred the matter to
the President, recommending favor¬
able action and the former suggest-
ed that a conference be had with
the officials of the department of
justice before anything was done,

SoLcitor General Richards, who is

thought the executive power gener-
ally would authorize the relief asked
for. ‘

A WOMAN HATER. •
Colonel Langdale, on being appointed
commandant of the Seventy-first native
infantry, resolved to weed o«t all the mar¬
ried officers serving with that corps. To
this end he made the lives of the benedicts
extremely irksome, so that they all applied
to be transferred to other regiments.
In duo course the Seventy-first native
infantry was ordered to Haizapore, the
principal military station of the presidency,
whereupon Colonel Langdale took a year's
furlough to England. It was generally
understood that the colonel would apply
for an extension of leave and would re-

expired, but he had not been home more
than nine months when he wrote to Major
Tarver informing him that he was about
to be married and that after a short hon-
eymoon on the continent he should bring
his bride out to India with him. ‘‘You
will think me inconsistent,” he explain-
ed, l, but circumstances alter cases, and
when you know Gwendoline you will, I
am sure, admit that I have acted wisely,”
and so on to the end of four closely writ-
There', no foollikean old fool!”
P SS ’
must just dree his own weird.
The terriblo Indian plague had found its
wav to Haizaporo at last. All efforts to
arrest its progress had proved inefficacious.
In the native city and surrounding vil¬
lages men, women and children were dy¬
ing like flies. The roll of victims was
daily on the increase. Custom makes us
familiar with and indifferent to danger,
and the pestilence had come to bo regarded
as a matter of course—an unpleasant but
necessary means of reducing the surplus
population. The natives alone fell vic¬
tims to it. The white men seemed, by a
merciful dispensation of Providence, to be
exempted from contagion, There was
consequently no cessation of the usual
round of gayeties at Haizapore. The can¬
tonment roads were thronged daily ith
funeral processions on their way to ' the
burning grounds, but the bands at the
gymkhana and the public gardens played
none the less cheerily, though the wail of
Hindoo mourners rang loud in the air.
In the native city, where infection
passed rapidly from house to house, whole
streets were being depopulated by the pes¬
tilence. Many of the inhabitants had fled,
carrying death and destruction far and
wide into the country. Others, strong in
their fatalistic creed, clung to their homes
and refused to budge, comforting them¬
selves with the philosophical reflection
that a man can die but once and that
there is no escaping tho hand of fate. It
became clear to the authorities that unless
strong repressive measures were adopted
every house in the city would become im¬
pregnated with tho germs of disease and
form a death trap for all future inmates.
Tho troops in garrison were detailed in
turn for “plague duty, ” their work con¬
sisting in examining every house and re¬
moving to tho segregation hospital any
inmate found suffering from the prevail¬
ing malady. When the turn of the Seven¬
ty-first native infantry came, Major Tar¬
ver was ordered to superintend the un¬
pleasant work of examining suspected suf¬
ferers and removing from the houses and
burning the clothes and effects of plague
patients.
Tarver worked heroically at his uncon¬
genial task, encouraging his men by his
example. Ho was quite reckless of his
life and would fearlessly enter houses
known to bo infected and carry poor
plague stricken wretches out in his own
arms. One morning while riding to the
city ho was seized with a sudden faintness,
but, throwing it off by sheer force of will,
he applied himself to hi3 work with his
usual indefatigable zeal. On returning
home in tho evening he had no sooner en¬
tered his bungalow than his head began to
swim, his limbs to tremble, a deadly feel¬
ing of nausea crept over him, an inde¬
scribable numbing sensation pervaded his
whole frame, stupefying and maddening
him.
“A whisky and soda, quick!” ho shout¬
ed to his servant, at the same time throw¬
ing himself down on his bed.
The man, returning, saw his master
■writhing in agony, swinging his arms
wildly about, the light of madness in his
eyes, his lips bubbling with green foam.
He dropped the tray in abject fright,
gasped, ‘‘Mahamari” and ran to summon
the regimental surgeon.
Dr. Mason, stripping off Tarver’s shirt,
discovered a blue, livid lump under his
left arm. There could be no doubt about
it. It was tho sign of the plague.
“It’s bad business, I fear,” said the doc¬
tor to Wilkinson of the Seventy-first, whom
he met outside the house. “I fear there is
little chance of his recovery.”
T^o next morning Colonel Langdale,
Stopping on his way back from parade at
Tarver’s bungalow to inquire after the
patient, was surprised to see his wife’s
pony trap standing at the door. A greater
surprise was in store for him, for on si¬
lently entering the sickroom he saw his
wife kneeling with her back toward him
at the bedside, clasping one of the sick
man’s hands in both her own, and heard
her say in heartrending tones as she cov¬
ered it with kisses:
“Speak tome, Hubert, my darling—just
one word. Tell me that you have forgiven
me. You shall not die, dearest. They
shall not take you from me again. Oh,
Hubert, if you only knew how much I love
you! My marriage has been a mockery
and a farce. I only married for the sake
of a home. Had it been you, dear, how
happy my life would have beenl Oh, why
did I not tell you I was free? Speak, Hu¬
bert! It is you only I love. For your
dear sake I would—I”—
But the cold lips of the dying man gave
““StlCrC
from the swiftly glazing eye. The death
rattle was sounding in the dying naan’s
throat> when with an acce s s of passion al-
most savage in its intensity, Gwendoline
Langdale 6 threw her arms round her lover’s
neck and 6traine d him fiercely to her
bosom in a last long, lingering embrace.
‘-Let me die with you,” she murmured,
pressing her lips to his. “I am weary of
my life.”
The unwilling spectator of the scene had
stood motionless, tongue tied and fascinat-
®d- He turned on his heel and silently left
the room.
“She told me she loved me,” he mut¬
tered, “and I was fool enough to believe
her. I am rightly served for my credulity.

England Demands That Emperor

London, October 18.—A dis¬
patch to a London news agency
from Shanghai says :
“Reports from Japanese sources
are in circulation here to the effect
that Sir Claude McDonald, British
minister at Peking, had informed
the Chinese government that sover-
eignty appertains solely to the em¬
peror, who has been forcibly ab¬
ducted and deposed, and he must
be restored to his position, while
Kang Yu Wei and the other re¬
formers must be pardoned. Failing
compliance Great Britain will en¬
force these demands.

music in the true scale, raising that
instrument to the level of the violin

A Remarkable His=
torical Library
Iofy of Hk
This is indeed a remarkable age—an age in which
days,even hours, add great and startling events to the world’s
history. New forces are at work, new men are forging to
the front, to direct and control these forces. A Library
that brings to you in compact and durable form not only
this passing panorama of history, but the history of the
world from the very beginning, is surely’ a household ne-
cessity. Such a Library is now offered to you almost upon
your own terms.
Under the plan of McClure’s History’ Club, through
which the Library is being distributed, you obtain the work
at a fraction of the regular price, and if you wish, pay for
it a little at a time. The entire work is delivered to club
members as soon asthey join, and they’ pay for it in their
own way. This is an opportunity’ to equip your home at a
trifling cost with the finest historical Library that has ever
been published.
One here follows Caesar through his remarkable ca-
reer, watches with interest the rise and fall of the Roman
Empire, dwells in company with the great Nelson, or gazes
with Napoleon upon his victories and defeats. In fact with
the aid of this magnificent work one may’ in a season’s read¬
ing, or by dipping into the Library for an hour or two at his
leisure, acquire a wider and a firmer grasp on the history of
the world, and the men who have made history, than could
be obtained by 7 grubbing about for a lifetime.
A postal card addressed to McClure’s History Club,
141 East 25th Street, New York, will secure full informa¬
tion of the novel Club plan, the Library itself, and the spe¬
cial proposition which is now offered to those who become
members during this month. We believe we are doing our
readers a service by advising them to investigate this re¬
markable offer.
