Colony In u Hud Way.
Members of the Buskin colony are
leaving in large numbers, and the
financial condition of The Coming Na
tion is such that the property will
doubtless be sold to liquidate the in
debtedness of the colony. A circular
letter has been sent to every member
of the colony, stating that a petition
has been filed with the secretary of
the Buskin Commonwealth, signed by
more than 20 per cent of tho members
(both resident and non-resident) ask
ing that a vote be taken on March 10,
1001, on a proposition to sell out.
Widow* Will lie Paid.
No widow of a Confederate veteran
in Georgia who has heretofore been
drawiug her nunual pension, will go
without it this year.
The fund for widows’ pensions, $200-
000, ran out this year before all the
widows’ pensions were paid, and the
officials at the capitol have been some
what in doubt as to what they would
do.
All this was settled a day or two ago
when it was decided that the widows
should paid as usual out of an unex
pended balance iu the treasury, and
the legislature will be asked'to pass
ft deficiency appropriation bill to meet
the emergency at its next session.
The matter was considered, and this
conclusion reached at a conference
held iu the governor’s office. Those
taking part were Governor Candler,
Hpeaker John D. Little, of the house;
President Clark Howell, of the senate;
Ghairmau A. O. Blalock, of the house
appropriations committee; Chairman
Heaton Grautlaml, of the senate ap
propriations committee, and Attorney
Geueral Terrell. Pension Commissi
oner .J. W. Lindsey also attended the
conference to furnish whatever infor
mation was needed with regard to the
widows who were unpaid.
There were eighty-eight widows on
the pension roll who have not received
their pension money this year-. How
many of these are dead is not known,
bur it is probable that at least fifty or
siity of them, and perhaps more, are
still living. At any rate, it is calcu
lated that about $4,000 will be needed
to finish paying them, and there is
only S2O of the widows’ fun still left
in the treasury.
It was decided at the conference that
the governor should issue an emer
gency order directing that the treas
urer pay the remaining widows their
pensions out of an unexpended bal
ance in the treasury.
Wo© to Loafer* unit Loiterers.
A determined fight is to be waged
ou all non-workers by the police de
partment of Atlauta. AH men, with
out regard to color or fiuancial stand
ing, who are known to be vagrants
will have to work, leave the city or
suffer arrest and vigorous prosecution.
The war has been started and it will
Jiot stop until the police have won a
Victory.
Well dressed white men who loiter
about the streets and make tkemsetves
obnoxious by gazing at ladies and by
loliowing them, as lias been a common
practice, are to lie arrested and prose
cuted.
The chief of police has entered into
this crusade with a deteruiiuatiou to
effectually put a stop to loafing in At
lanta in all circles and castes aud un
less idlers have some visible means of
support cases will be promptly made
against them and they will be given
the privilege of laboring on the public
works.
Chief Manly is also desirous of get
ting on the force at least 50 new
patrolmen, and he considers this en
largement a necessity to the perfect
police regulation of the city.

Alabama’s governor used his pen
very freely in vetoes, durmg the last
day of the session, and no one can ac
cuse him of the lack of backbone in
withholding his approval of useless
and unconstitutional measures passed
by the most extravagant legislature on

WOLSELEY’S COMPLAINT.
British Hilitary System Criticised in
the House of Lords.
A London special says: The Duke
of Bedford, in the house of lords Mon
day, started a discussion of army mat
ters by askiug for information on the
military administration and the war
office.
Lord Wolseley arose after the Duke
of Bedford had done speaking and for
two or three hours he attacked the
military system of Great Britain in a
carefully written speech. It is under
stood that he had long meditated and
phrased in consultation with his
friends.
“My arguments,” he said, “are not
directed against the individuals, but
against the military system which I
have honestly tried for five years and
have found wanting, and which entails
great dnngers not realized by the peo
ple of this realm.”
Lord Wolseley said he had worked
with the Marquis of Landsdowne and
there had not been a single disagree
able incident. His complaint was
that the professional commander-in
chief was robbed of his chief useful
ness. He had to hand over the com
mand and the entire management of
the army to a civilian secretary of
state, assisted by subordinates with
whom he dealt direct. The responsi
bility for everything rested with the
secretary of state alone. The com
mander-in-chief could only bring
strongly the wants of the army to the
secretary. lie had often done eo
After that ho could do no more.

Healthy andstrong
9 lUlvt/l they blossom
and bloom. Sickly, they wither and
die. Every woman ought to look well
and feel well. It’s her right and duty,
but she might as well try to put out a
fire with oil as to be healthy and at
tractive with disease corroding the
organs that make her a woman. Upon
their health depends her health. If
there is inflammation or weakening
drains or suffering at the monthly
period, attend to it at once. Don’t
delay. You’re one step nearer the
grave every day you put it off.
Women can stand a great deal, but
they cannot live forever with disease
dragging at the most delicate and
vital organs in their body. You may
have been deceived in so-called cures.
We don’t see how you could help it —
there is so much worthless stuff on
the market. But you won’t be dis
appointed in Bradfieldjs Female Reg
ulator. We believe it is the onemedi
cineon earth for womanly ills. There
is as much difference between it and
other so-called remedies as there is
between right and wrong. Bradfield’s
Female Regulator soothes the pain,
stops the drains, promotes regularity,
strengthens, purifies and cleanses. It
does all this quickly and easily and
naturally. Itis for women alone to de

Death Came While They Slept and
Home Was Burned Down.
Three lives were snuffed out at
Welch, Ga., by a flash of lightning,
death coming while the victims were
sound asleep and a residence totally
destroyed.
Postmaster Morgan came home from
Murphy, N. C., twelve miles distant,
where-he had been on business. That
evening he and his family, consisting
of eight persons, retired. Late in the
night Mr. Morgan was aroused from a
stupor with a strange feeling. He saw
his house was on fire and he called to
his family to escape, but there was no
response.
He reached over to arouse his wife
and discovered that she was dead.
He went to another bed to arouse his
twelve-year-old boy and six year-old
girl and found that they were dead.
The infant in his wife’s arms was not
harmed.
Three children were saved. The
house had been set on fire by light
ning, a storm coining up suddenly,
and soon burned.
The dead bodies were removed from
the burning building just before the
roof fell in. Mr. Morgan saved noth

AMERICAN TROOPS
QUELL A RIOT
Porto Ricans Try to Mob
School Superintendent.
TROUBLE OVER TRIVIAL AFFAIR
Reprimand to a School Girl Arous
ed the Quick Tempered
Foreigners.
A special from San Juan, Porto
Rico, says: A serious riot occurred
here yesterday. At G o’clock in the
evening five artillerymen and a corpo
ral of artillery, named Hiscock, left
their guard post without orders and
charged across the plaza into a street
in which a mob of people had assem
bled. The soldiers fired a volley into
the air, dispersed the mob and rescued
School Superintendent Armstrong,
who was besieged by the mob in a
house situated about a block from the
city center.
The city had been overrun by a riot
ous crowd of probably 1,500 persons,
who shouted, “Down with the Ameri
cans.” V
The superintendent had reprimand
ed a ten-year-old girl for disobedience,
and forcibly, but harmlessly, marched
her to the front from the rear of the
school room. Her dress caught in a
desk and was torn, and th 6 girl re
ported to her mother that she had been
kicked and abused. This evoked sen
sational stories, and some of the
school boys paraded the streets and
were joined by many loafers and full
grown men. The superintendent and
policemen who escorted him were
stoned in the streets, and the Ameri
cans sought refuge in the Intendenoia
building.
At 5 o’clock Governer Allen ordered
the mayor to disperse the mob, notify
ing him that he should ask for gov
ernment assistance if he was in need
of it. The mayor, however, ignored
this notification, although the city
police were powerless.
At 5:30 p. m. the offices were closed,
and Martin O. Brumbaugh, the com
missioner of education of Porto Rico,
asked for protection of his office and
hotel. '
A treasury clerk, who was one of
the men who ejected rioters from the
Intendencia, was attacked, stoned and
disarmed by a mob.
The insular police were not called
upon until 6 o’clock p. m., when the
artillerymen mentioned took the in
itiative without orders.
Meantime, the city police had fired
about one hundred shots, mostly in
the air, for there were no casualties.
Several other Americans beside the
treasury clerk were stoned from roofs
and balconies.
Corporal Hiscock has been placed
under arrest, and probably will be
tried by courtmartial.

An Atlanta dispatch says: “Profes
sor G. B. Bird, who has been conduct

Cedar Grove, twelve miles from At
lanta, was brought to the city Friday
night and locked up in a cell at the
police barracks ou the charge of in
sulting the wife of Calvin B. Moore, a

Bird is a young raen and is highly
connected in the state. He has owned
up the whole affair and affirms every
thing which Mrs. Moore has told ou
him. He claims that at the time he
insulted Mrs. Moore he was mentally
irresponsible on account of a dose of
whisky aud morphine which he had
taken for neuralgia.
GIBSON ELECTED SENATOR.
Montana Legislature Elects Successor
to Carter After Man* Ballots.
A special from Helena, Mont., says:
At half past 3 o’clock Friday morning,
although the legislative clock testified
that it was not yet midnight, Hon.
Paris Gibson, Democrat, of Great
Falls, was elected United States sena
tor for the term expiring March 4,
1905.
For almost the entire life of the
legislature that body had been voting
daily for a senator, but with no result.
After taking a few votes Thursday
morning without indication of result,
the joint assembly took a recess until
11 o’clock, at which time began the
session ending with the election of
Mr. Gibson.”
