Cary is a tall.,;<ortly man with a pleasant
but tboughtfttA face, adorned with a brown
mustache slightly
tinged with gray.
He is said to bear

His family con

CAry is not a
wealthy man, but has by careful manage
ment accumulated a moderate fortune.
He has been a member of the Democratic
state committee several terms.
Several years ago he ran for con
gress, but was defeated. In 18S2 he
was elected member of assem
bly, and at once became the leader of the
Democratic side of the house and the
warm personal friend of ‘Governor Cleve-
.and. So intimate did they become that
he was dubbed “Bosom Friend” Cary, a
title which has clung to him ever since.
In 1883 ho was a candidate for judge of
the supreme court. He was not elected,
although he ran far abend of his ticket.
The only national position he has ever
filled was that of railroad commissioner
to examine the Union Pacific railroad, a
place to which he was appointed by tho
president. The only peculiarity about tlie
new solicitor is his wonderful handwrit

hold, and it will puzzle his assistants at
Washington to decipher it.

Fact* About the Operation I.ately Per
formed on th© Crown Pr
The operation of tracheotomy, recently
performed on the crown prince of Ger
many. is a ninth more simple operation
than is supposed.
Nor is It danger
otis, except in the
case of children.
In diphtheria it is
often resorted to
pa a forlorn hope;
and where the pa
tient is a child is
almost always fa
tal; but in the
case of adults it is
nearly always
successful. In one
London hospital
it 1s said that
rosiTioN of tube, there were nine
such operations in one week, without in
jury to any patient operated upon.
Tracheotomy is practiced when the
throat becomes so choked that the patient
cannot breathe. A small incision is made
in the windpipe a little below what is
called the Adam’s apple, and a >r.md sil
ver ttil»o is insert- ^ yj
ed, and so curved \ '“X—x!
as to reach down ]/ j
into the air pass- //LAfiYf»A l
in the throat. I: I
It projects outside u. fev / £..{
the throat, and is
held into position
tapes. The ATOTICttlj
tube, of course, is
liable to become
choked with mu
cous, hence there
are really two
tubes inserted, one fitting closely inside the
other. The interior tube can be removed,
cleaned and put btick in iu place. Since
tho operation is below the vocal chords,
tho patient cannot talk without Stopping
the projecting mouth of the tube, which
may easily be done with the finger. But
his sentences must be necessarily short,
for while the tul»e is so stopped he cannot
breathe through it. The operation is
often a great relief to a patient whose
throat requires it. And the relief is in-
stautancous.
The Great Cotton Operator Produce* It to
Refate Ramon of His Failure.
New York, March 17.—The sale
yesterday of a large block of Rich
mond Terminal stock, the recent
sharp decline in cotton aud tho fail
ure of James W. Harle, of Atlanta,
caused the name of John H. Inman,
of the cotton exchange, to be men
tioned in connection with rumors of
failure and disaster. Mr. Inman has
the reputation of being the heavies*
operator in the cotton market in the
country, and it is known that he is
interested in several railroads, partic
ularly the Richmond Terminal road,
and that he was prominently mention
ed for the position of President both
of that road and of the Richmond
and Danville road previous to the last
election. Mr. Inman smiles at the
rumor about him, and follows the
famous example of Jay Gould, at least
iu part, by showing his bank book
with a snug balance of nearly $500,-
000 in his favor, and pointing with
pride to his well-filled safe, in which
are stored from $5,000,000 to $0,000,-
000 in good securities. Men who
know Mr. Inman best smile incred
ulously at the base idea of any trouble
from that quarter. Mr. Inman him
self , beyond the act of showing his
hank account and mentioning the con
tents of his safe, did not think the
stories in circulation worth denying.
He said he had sold a thousand shares
of Richmon i Termin. 1 but only in
tbe ordinary course of trade, and it
was not significant as to his condition,
except that he had that many to sell,
nor had he anything to do with Mr.
Harie’s speculations, further than his
firm was carrying one lot of 10.000
bales for Mr. Harle an good margins.
Georgia h Full of Kesrularljr Ordained
UUhops.
[Fn.iu iq© ciniCv Cl«non]
Years ago whe*i Colonel John Screw
en was president of the old Atlantic
and Gulf railroad, he announced in
one of his reports to"the directors that
the road had given passes to the two
bishops of Georgia, meaning Bishop
Beckwith of the Episcopal church,
and Bishop Pierce of the Methodist.
The venerable William Duncan, an
iron-ribbed Scotch Presbyterian, and
one of the leading directors, sprang to
his feet and made the point that every
Presbyterian pastor in the State and
every Baptist pastor was just as really
a bishop as the bishops of other den
ominations, and that the road should
not discriminate. He carried his
point, and Colonel Screven cheerfully
admitted that he knew less about
, ecclesiastical affairs than he did about
railroad.
The Central railroad has recently
adopted a new rule in issuing min
isterial passes. Tlie minister is re
quired to tile an application nnd cer
tify that he has no other occupation,
and has no other business. Every
body along its line knows that this rule
shuts out the very ministers who of
all others need the pass most, and a
large number of the most deserving
ministers in the State. Many of them
have large families, and in great self-
denial serve churches too poor to main
tain them, and nobly devote a part of
their time to a farm, a work-shop, or
a school room. Georgia, if not tlie
would, has been evangelized by just
such men. Paul, were he
upln’t get a pass on the Central be
cause lie was a tent-maker. Peter
would have foot it or.pay full fare, be
cause lie was a fisherman.
The Terrible Storm.
One effect of the great freeze in the
New York is the prevalence of blood
poisoning among the horses. In nine
cases out of ten the disease proves
fatal. A surgeon at tlie Veterinary
Hospital gives the following explana
tion of the plague: “Nearly all the
horses attacked are animals that have
been working every day. NYhen the
blizzard struck bore they were laid
up in the stable. They were given
their full quantity of food, and not
having proper exercise it did not as
similate, thus causing a nitrogenoui
state of the blood. Of course they col
lapsed when they were taken out
The disease is nearly always fatal.
Perhaps 10 per cent of those attacked
can be saved. A peculiar fact is that
all the horses attacked are big, strong
animals. The illness might have been
avoided if tlie horses had been put on
half allowance.”

It was t positive epidemic at Chicago

Of the latter, five were men and four

some time, numerous citizens have had
false idea of the work, and manner
of working , in regard to giving, and
nil talk, argnment, press notices, etc.,
have failed to enlighten their minds,
and, of course, under such discourage
ments, the work lias seemed to have
come short of their intention, but now
at last, the whole public has received
into their hearts, souls, bodies and
homes, and pun»v.% too, the Young
Men’s Christain Association.
And, too that young, but grand
home enterprise, tho Macon Dramatic
association, has come to the front,
offering to give performance, donat
ing the net proceeds to tlie Young
Men’s Christain association. This is
certainly a good outlook for a chance
of many more citizens to show the
inside of their money purses and give
liberally to such a great Christain
association.

Remarkable Family.
Senator Carnot, the father of Presi

This gentleman had other claims to

the famous Wtr Minister of the French
Revolution. He was also a distinguished
statesman, thoroughly imbue! with re
publican ideas, and although in the early
period of his public career he Jeaned to
ward Socialistic doctrines, he afterward
became a stanch supporter of conserve
live butprogrrssive government. It is
seldom that wc find the theory of hered

Roscoe Conkling had a narrow es- ijjj
cape from death in the storm in New
York on Monday night. Speaking of
the matter he said: “I had been at >
the Stewart building all day, hut had ; '
some work to do in my otlice down *
town . I did not think there was any u ’
danger, so 1 went down on an eleva- 1
ted train to Wall street to look after
my work. A little after G o’clock I
started to go home. There was not a o
cab or carriage in sight. Once during t
the day I had declined an offer to ride r
up town in a carriage, because the i*|
driver wanted $50. So I started up
Broadway on my pins. It was dark -j},
and useless to try to pick out a path,
sol went soldiering along through
snowdrifts and headed for the north.
I had no serious trouble until I got to
Union square, where, in the middle of
the square, I got confused from wip
ing the snow from my eyes. Trying |
to make out my way I found it im
possible to keep in the path, so I f Pr
plunged right through on as straight
a line as I could. When I got a little
beyond the middle of the park I was 1 jj
up to my arms in snow. I pulled the
ice and snow from my eyes held up
my hands until everything was melted
off so that I could see, but it was too
dark. For nearly twenty minutes I
stuck there. I came as near giving
up and sinking down there to die
any man could and not do it. Some
how I got out and reached the New
York Club House. It had taken me
three hours to make the trip, which I
always walk in twenty minutes.”
New hands continue to arrive and join
the squad an the M. & C. road.
