Dalton Citizen: “Rev. Joe Jones, a

Bob Hardeman, State Treasurer, is of
the opinion that the State of Illinois will
not institute suit to collect the fraudulent
bonds she holds against the State. Says
the Treasurer; “I don’t believe the State
of Illinois will institute any such pro
ceeding. It is the universal Idea that a
sovereign cannot be sued. If Illinois
sues Georgia she thereby admits that she
is not a sovereign and can be sued. Even
if she does, I don’t believe Illinois can
get a judgment against the State ot Geor
gia for the repudiated bonds.”
It was rather expected that when
Messrs. Moody and Sankey finished their
engagement at the Bell compress their
pockets would be generously lined with
Atlanta dollars. It has, strange to say,
been difficult to get at this financial
transaction, if there was one. Rev. J.
W. Lee of Trinity church, a prominent
pastor, states that these gentlemen were
paid for their work just SSO each, and
things it a burning shame that they were
treated so niggardly, especially as the
building was Yurnished free. If the la
bors of these reverend gentlemen are to
be measured by the amount of compensa
tion, the harvest of souls was small in
deed. —Atlanta correspondent Macon Tel
egraph.
A correspondent thus describes the sit
ution at Athens; “When Clarke county,
after a hot fight, went dry at the prohibi
tion election, it was discovered that the
result aimed at was nullified by the coun
ty next door. The line of Oconee was
but a short distance removed, over the
river. An enterprising liquor man, J.
A. Fowler, took out an Oconee license,
and established himself upon the line,
where he might be convenient to his old
friends. For a long time this standing
menace to good order has been the sub
ject ot indignant comment. Not only
was it the resort of such citizens as chose
to evade the law, but it was a snare for the
young men ot the city. The business,
however,was prosperous,ard Fowler wa
making money. As long as Clarke re
mained dry and Oconee was convenient
enough to furnish the liquor, Fowler was
happy. Now, however, he has struck a
snag. The county commissioners of Oco
nee have taken the matter in hand. Ap
peals from citizens of Clarke to aid them
in the enforcement of the law have been
successful. Asa result the commission
ers have declined to renew Mr. Fowler’s
license, and now, for the first time, the
citizens of Athens will have a prohibition
drouth in all its severity.
Representative O’Hara, of North Caro
lina, a colored man, last week introduced
a resolution in the House providing for
the appointment ot a committee to in
vestigate the recent atiair at Carrollton,
Miss., where ten colored men lost their
lives. Action thereon will be taken in
the future.
THE WHITE CROSS.
Object* of the Society Now *o Popular at
Home aad Abroad.
The Pall Mail Gazette exposures seem
to have had some good effect and the
formation of what are known as White
Cross Societies will oon be the order of
the day. The pioueer society in Ameri
ca, the White Cross Society of New Y r ork,
already numbers about 1,000. When a
young man joins the societies he sub
scribes to the following creeds. He
agrees:
1 To treat all women with respect,
and endeavor to protect them from
wrong and degradation.
2. To endeavor to put down all inde
cent language and coarse jests.
3. To maintain the law of purity as
equally binding upon men and women.
4. To endeavor to spread these prin
ciples among my companions and try to
help my younger brothers.
5. To use every possible means to ful
fill the command “Keep thyself pure.”
The leader of the White Cross move
ment in America is Rev. B.F. DeCosta,
D. D., pastor of the church St John, the
evangelist (Protestant Episcopal), in
West Eleventh street, New York. He
was born in Charleoton, Mass., iu 1831,
and was educated at the Boston Uni
versity. He spent several years In study
and research in Europe. He was the
chaplain of the Eighteenth and Fifth
Massachusetts infantry and was in the
battle of Bull Run, Yerktown, etc. He
went to New York in 1863 and engaged
in journalism. He was the editor of the
Christian TiuMs in 1863, and of the Epis
copalian in 1864, —65. He also edited
the Magazine of American History (1822 —
1883). He has written and published
thirty or more volumes on historical and
religious subjects. HU book on “The
Pre-Columbian Discovery of America”
created wide-spread discussion at home
and abroad. He wrote an anonymous
novel entitled “The Rector of Rocks
burg” under the name of William Hick
ing. Dr. DeCosta ha* been the pastor of
his present church for about six years.
During that time, as indeed all his life
“since I was a boy,’* as he expressed it,
he has been an indefatigable worker in
and out of his church, and is to-day one
of the ablest and most popular preachers
in the metropolis. He was the prime
mover in church temperance work and
was one of the original premoters and
organizers of the Church Temperance
Society, of which he was the first secreta
ry. Dr. DeCosta was one of the original
movers in the White Cross Society, and
is its president. The first branch in this
country was organized in February, 1884.
Several branches have grown from the
parent tree. Besides his exacting duties
in church and other religious work, Dr.
DeCosta has for years been an active par
ticipant in the. discussion of social ques
tions, reform movements, and the rela
tions between capital and labor. He has
often addressed wqrkingtnen on the lat
ter subject, and has always sought to im
press upon their minds the value of char
acter among the laboring classes, and has
told them that without that indispensi
ble requisite all their movements for the
betterment of thair condition • would
result in ignominious failure. During
the recent labor troubles he took a lively
interest in expressing ,his views on the
subject. Dr. DeCosta is of striking per
sonal appearance. His high forehead
and intellectual face 6hows that he is a
deep thinker and hard student. Asa
preacher he has great ability and elo
quence.
PROTECTING THEIR RIGHTS.
Probably no concern in the country has
adhered more strictly to the determination
to achieve success by the liberal use of
printer’s ink than has the Brown Chemi
cal Company of Baltimore, Md. Starting
business about five years ago, they have
expended over $1,500,000 in the prepara
tion and circulation of printed matter,
more than half of which has been paid
for newspaper advertising. All this has
been done to make known the virtues of
their celebrated Brown’s Iron Bitters.
As might be expected, very large sales
have resulted from this enormous outlay.
In fact, Brown’s Iron Bitters is about as
staple in many drug stores as is Dour at
the corner grocery. Like all good things,
Brown’s Iron Bitters has been largely
imitated. There are unscrupulous manu
facturers who cater to this sort of trade,
and some dealers are so lacking in princi
pal, that because a greater profit can be
made on fraudulent than on genuine
medicines, they are willing to delude the
public by pushing off Iron Tonic Bitters
and other Tonic Medicines in place of the
genuine Brown’s Iron Bitters, which is
undoubtedly one of the purest and best
medicines known. There frauds have
been practiced so extensively, that the
Company, finding all other means inade
quate, have at last determined to try a
little cold law to put a stop to them.
Suits for heavy damages have therefore
been commenced against Fredrick Stearns
<k Cos., Detroit, Mich., who are known as
the Non-Secret Medicine Manufacturers,
for selling Iron Tonic Bitters; against
Meyer Bros. A Ce., of St. Louis, whole
sale druggists, for selling Brown’s Iron
Tonic, prepared by C. J. Lincoln, Little
Rock, Ark., and against Jas. A. Dicken
son, a druggist in Baltimore, for selling
Iron Tonic Bitters with his name upon
the label, which ihedicine was made by
Koshland, Hollander A Cos., of that city,
and also claimed as an imitation. We
wish the Brown Chemical Company eve
ry success in these suits, as it is high
time those who have pluck enough to
carry large enterprises such as theirs to
success, should be protected from those
who live not by their own genius and
effort, bur by copying and counterfeiting
things that have been made standard and
valuable by others.
LIKE REAL DIAMONDS.
“Rhine stones, Lake George gems and
Brazilian diamonds will haye to shine
from a back seat now,” said a leading
wholesale jeweler, Paris has produced
an imitation of the diamond which even
experts find some difficulty in distin
guishing from the genuine. It is made
ot strass, a variety of Hint glass contain
ing more than the usual proportion of
lead, and in some cases a smaller propor
tion of borax. They is subjected to
an intense heat, then plunged into cold
water, by which process it is contracted
and its refraction power increased. The
lumps of strass are then cut and polished
precisely the same as the genuine dia
mond, a leaden wheel, oil and diamond
dust being used. They are graded to
conform with carat sizes of genuine
stones, and from S2O to SSO per gross. A
very small piece of foil, which is attach
ed to the centre of the back as a backing,
reflects the light into the heart of the spu
rious gem. These imitation diamonds are
already largely used by actresses snd by
ladies whose financial embarrassments
have compelled them to part with their
genuine stones.
MR. DAVIS’S VISIT.
To Vi*lt Montgomery on the 28tli and 29th
of April—Atlanta on the Ist of May.
It is settled that Mr„ Davis will be in
Atlanta at the unveiling of the Hill
statue. Ihe date of this ceremony has
been fixed for Saturday, May Ist.
A letter received from Mr. Davis last
week called the attention of the Hill
sfatue committee to the fact that Major
Reese, of Montgomery, had called on
him and notified him that the date of the
Montgomery celebration was changed
from the 26th to the 29th, and that he
wrote this in order that there might be no
confusion in the dates for the ceremonies
at Montgomery and Atlanta. He added
that one date would suit him as well as
another. The committee thereupon de
cided that May Ist was the best day.
Mr. Davis will reach Atlanta on April
30th. He will be the guest of of Mrs?
Hill, on Peachtree street. It is proba
ble that his daughter will accompauy
him.
The committee has not decided on the
programme for Mr. Davis’s visit. It is
desirable that while there should be no
formal demonstration, that every facility
will be extended to the people of Geor
gia and the adjoining States for looking
upon the face of Mr. Davis once more
and of testifying to their love for him.
l’he crowd in the city on May Ist will
undoubtedly be the largest ever known.
Special rate* will be made on all the
trains leading into Atlanta. The pro
gramme for the unveiling of the statue
will be worthy of the great occasion,
worthy of the great whose name
is commemorated, and Worthy of the
great man who comes to do him honor.
The programme will be printed In detail
as soon as it is arranged.
ARRANGING FOR HIS VISIT.
The following, taken from the Mont
gomery Advertiser , being an interview
with Colonel Reese, who has just re
turned from a yislt to Mr. Davis, at
Beauvoir, will be read with interest. Cel.
Reese says:
“I went to Beauvior, saw Mr. Davis,
and arranged dates for his visit to Mont
gomery on the 27th, 28th and 29th.
“Mr. Davis will arrive here on the
evening of the 27th, at 7:55, and will be
received with a salute of 100 guns. Prep
arations are being made for a grand dis
play of fire-works, which will be under
the immediate supervision of Mr. H. B.
Metcalf, who has been appointed chair
man of the committee on fire-works.
The remainder of the committee will be
announced later,
“The programme will be about as fol
lows: On the morning of the 28th, at
say 11 o’clock, Mr. Davi9 and other dis
tinguished guests, will be escorted by
visiting and local military companies to
Clisby’s park, where a stand will be
erected, and Mr. Davis, General Gordon,
and others, will deliver addresses, at the
conclusion of which the military bodies
will escort the distinguished gentlemen
back to the Exchange hotel. That’s
what will be done on the 28th.
About noon on the 29tn, Mr. Davis
will formally lay the corner stone of the
Alabama conlederate monument, on the
capitol hill, in which ceremony he will
be assisted by Generals Gordon, Buell
aud Rosecrans.
“I had several long conversations with
Mr. and Mrs. Davis, and about this visit
and we talked very freely over the per
sons whom Mr. Davis would be pleased
to have invited, and prominent among
the Northern Generals were Generals
Don Carlos Buell and Rosecrans. These
gentlemen will be invited, and I hope
they will find it convenient to be pres
ent.
“I bring back with me a few memen
tos of Mr. Davis, which I obtained from
Mrs. Davis after much solicitation. The
most important is some of the hair that
was cut from hi* head at the time he was
imprisoned in Fortress Monroe. At the
time this hair was cut from Mr. Davis’s
head the commandant of the fort de
manded that the locks should be turned
over to him, but Mr. Davis refused to do
so, claiming the hair as his property,
which claim was allowed.
“Another artie’e given me by Mrs.
Davis is a pocket knife which has been
carried by Mr. Davis for twenty-three
years.
“I don’t know what disposition 1
shall make of these articles, but Mrs.
Davis gave them to be used for the Con
federate monument, in whatever manner
that may be thought best. They can be
seen at Stake’s jewelry store.
“Mr. Davis and the other invited
guests will stop at the Exchange, Mr.
West having very kindly tendered ac
commodations for the party.
“Tickets will be issued and placed on
sale some time early in April, and I
want every one who has any pride in
Montgomery, in Alabama, or in the

BAKING POWDERS,
Interesting Tests Made by the Govern
ment Chemists.
Dr. Edward G. Love, the Analytical
Chemist for the Government, has made
some interesting experiments as to the
comparative Value of baking powders.
Dr. Love’s tests were made to determine
what brands are the most economical to
use, and as their capacity lies in their
leavening power, tests were directed
solely to ascertain the available gas of
each powder. Dr. Love’s report gives
the following:
Name of the Strength
Baking Powders. Cubic inches Gas
per each ounce of powder.
“Royal” (absolutely pure) 127.4
“Patapsco” (alum powder) ~..125.2*
“Rnmford’a” (phosphate) freeh 122.5*
“Qumford’s” (photphate) old 32.7*
“Hanford’s None Such,” fresh 121 6
“Hanford’s None Such.” old 84.35
“Redhead’s” 117.0
“Charm” (alum powder) 116.9*
“Amazon” (alum powder) 111.9
“Cleveland’s” (contains lime) 110.8
“Sea Foam” •. 107.9
“Czar’ ’ 106.8
“Dr. Price’s” (contains lime) 102.6
“Snow Flake”,(Groff's, St. Paul) 101.88
“Lewis’ Condensed 98 2
“Congress” yeast *. 97.5
“C. E. Andrews A Co.’s” (contains alum). .78.17*
“Hecker’s” 92.5
“Gillets” 84.2
“Bulk” 80.5
In his report, the Government Chem
ist says:
“In regard all aim powders , very
unwholesome. Phosphate and lartarie
Acid powders liberate their gas too free
ly in process of baking, or under vary
ing climatic changes suffer deteriora
tion.”
Dr. H. A. Mott, the former Govern
ment Chemist, after a careful and elabo
rate examination of the various Baking
Powders of commerce, reported to the
Govenment in favor of the Royal brand.
Prof. McMurtrie, late chief chemist
for the U. S. Government at Washing
ton, says: “The chemical tests to
which I have submitted the Royal Bak
ing Powder, prove it perfectly health
ful, and free from every deleterious sub
stance.”
PERCHERON HORSES.
Arrival at New Yurkoftlie Latest Impor
tation of Mr. Walters.
Mr. Wm. T. Walters was in New York
Thursday looking after his recent pur
chase of Percheron horses. They will be
brought to Baltimore by the inland route
of steamers. Of the twenty-four Per
cherons imported, thirteen are mares
and eleven stallions. All of the animals
from the Department de l’Orne, where
the Percheron beed is the purest. Only
one or two of the collection is more than
four years old, almost all of them being
very young. They are all gray in color,
of various shades, and fine examples of
their race, large of size, strong of limb,
and stylish of carriage, and their clean
cut heads ot fine bone show the Arabian
blood which flows in their veins. One
of the stallions is a yearling, already fif
teen hands high, while one, called very
properly Goliah, is three years old and
stands seventeen and three-quarter hands
high. The mares are from two to six
years old, and from sixteen to sixteen
and three-quarter hands high. Only one
of tjiem has been bred.
The Percheron horse is the cross of a
Norman and an Arabian. When Napo
lean was laying out post routes across
France, he looked about for horses
which, while strong enough to pull the
heavy mail coaches, would be light
enough to travel rapidly. It was decided
to breed Arabian stallions to Norman
mares, and stock farmers for raising the
draught horses were placed in the little
district of Le Perche. Horses hred on
those farms were theretore called Per
cherons. A pure-bred Percheron has
the small head and ears of his original
Arabian lather, with the size and strength
of his Norman mother. His legs when
Seen from behind or in front look very
thin. From the side, however, they a;e
very broad, the bones of the leg being
placed directly in a line, thus making the
leg flat instead of round. A pure-bred
Percheron is always black when toaled,
but becomes gray when about three years
old, A black Percheron is considered
not to be pure blood.
The adaptation of Percheron horses to
draught purposes here, and especially to
farm work, is admitted wherever they
have been tried. When Mr. Walters be
gan to import them into this country
none of the draught horses of this city
had any cross of Percheron blood. Now
more than one-third of them in and
around the city have more or less Per
cheron blood in their veins. The Per
cheron has a quick action, a hardy con
stitution, and is easily kept, while his
hoofs do not split upon American pave
ments as do those of other imported hor
ses. In France the get of a blooded stal
lion and a Percheron mare is the fashion
able carriage horse, and the same horse,
under the name of “French carriage
horse,” has recently found favor in this
country.
The two Napoleons took great interest
in maintaining the breed of French hor
ses, and the government stallions, after
wintering in Le Perche, which was con
sidered the district best adapted to horse
breeding, were sent through the country
during the summer months aud bred to
the best mares. Premiums were also
giveji to the owners of good stallions, and
Sultan, now owned by Mr. Walters,
brought his French owner a small hut
steady income from the government.
The government stud stables are still
maintained, the principal stable being at
Pin, formerly one of the hunting castles
of Louis XVI.
NORWOOD ON SILVER.
In the House of Representative* Last
Week.
Norwood of Georgia in a dry, sarcastic
manner, bore testimony to the wonderful
knowledge possessed by all men on the
question of finance, and then paid his re
spects in a humorous manner to several
of the gentlemen who had preceded him
in debate, especially addressing himself
to a satirizing of the speech of Findlay
of Maryland. In quaint, discursiye
ways, he defended the standard dollar
from the charge of dishonesty made by
the gold men, and attributed the attacks
made on it to the influence of Great
Britian. Lombard street said “The Amer
ican dollar is only worth 80 cents,” and
Wall street repeated “The American dol
dar is only worth 80 cents.” Lombard
street said “The American dollar is a
fraud and a lie.” Lombard street said
“The American dollar is nothing but
bullion,” and Wall street likewise re-
peated the slander and said, “Yes, the
American dollar is ffbthing but bullion.”
One hundred years ago there had been
some rebels in the country who had re
corded in an almost forgotton manuscript
the declaration that Congress should coin
money of the United States and regulate
the value thereof. Prior to that the King
had coined the money, and should the
gentleman be condemned for maintaining
that coin of the United States should be
regulated by Congress and not by
Great Britian and Lombard street?
While the United States saved the Queen
the trouble of coining its money, she
regulated its value. The country had
escaped from the tyranny of the British
crown only to fall under the despotism of
British gold. He then defined his posi
tion on the pending question, pointing
out the difficulties and dangers which at
tended an advance or retreat, and main
taining that the wisest course was to al
low the existing law to remain un
changed.
SOUTHERN IRON.
The readjusted railroad rates have not
stopped the shipment of either southern
pig iron or southerh Ore. Iron ore is car
ried from Chattanooga to the Philadelphia
wharf at $4.51 a ton, and pig iron from
Birmingham at a lower rate. The route
is by rail to Savannah and by the water
to Philadelphia. The Philadelphia Re
cord says a large iron water-pipe manu
facturer of Philadelphia has closed a
contract for a second lot of 10,000 tons of
southern pig iron. Among other large
consumers of southern iron are several
large stove manufacturers, and the car
wheel works of Wilmington Delaware.
The movement of southern irou north
ward is not a deluge as yet, but it is
strong enough to cause considerable
anxiety among the Pennsylvania irou
makers. They look ahead and are
troubled. Were it not for the costly
plants in Ohio and Pennsylvania many
an iron manufacturer in those states
would be glad to open works where iron
can be made at ten dollars a ton. The
localities that can make the cheapest
iron will become the iron centers of the
country in the long run; for there is not
much sentiment in the iron trade, and
iron-makers who are about to make new
investment i are uot apt to be deceived.—

SPIIUTUALISM AS A SCIENCE.
An Ex-Wall Street Broker Thinks it Capa
ble of Great Possibilities.
Louisville Special to New York World.]
Charles Dawborn, formerly a Wall
street broker, now a spiritualist lecturer,
and probably the ablest member of the
association now in session here, said to
day : “I am inclined to be skeptical. For
eighteen months I sat alone for an hour
in my darkened room and underwent
wonderful experiences with powers I
could not explain, but was not convinced.
My arm would grow cold and move in
voluntarily. One day I sat in my office
with my arm on the table when a strange
feeling came over it, and my hand wrote
of itself, “You are being robbed.” It
was so. Later l was in the lumber busi
ness. My hand wrote one day at One
bee: “Oo to Montreal.” I went, and led
by an irresistible influence, demanded
that a cargo of lumber we had already to
start, be branded again. It was a risk of
$3,840 damage for delay if nothing was
wrong. The lumber had been branded
one grade too high all around, and I saved
my company $20,000, and the govern
ment official who had been bribed by the
mill owners had to pay the expenses.
Spiritualism is a science, not a religion,
and I believe it has great possibilities.”
Mr. Dawborn’s belief that spiritualism
is a science antagonizes many mediums
and other believers. lie created a sensa
tion the other night by attacking from
the rostrum the frauds and inconsisten
cies of alleged spiritualists. He criti
cised sharply Mrs. Gladings, of Phila
delphia.
HE "WOULD NOT HE SWINDLED.
Atlanta Constitution.]
A funny story wn told me regarding
one of those doughty knights of the sheep
shears and brand iron, who flourished in
the wilds of southern Georgia in the
olden time. His name Wayne, and a
great and good man was he. There were
but fourteen men in his county, and
twelve of them were his sons. Asa mat
ter ol course, he had a waik-over at the
election, and came out with flying col
ors, aoluiy elected member of the Geor
gia legislature. He owned the swiftest
nag in those parts, and he was always in
the lead when the cavalade of Solons
rode toward Milledgeville. One time,
however, he was late. The legislature
had been rn session three days, and all
were getting anxious regarding Hon. Mr.
Wayne. At length, just as they were
discussing the propriety of appointing a
committee of inquiry, Wayne came rid
ing over the hill, driving a great flock of
geese ahead of him. The house adjourn
ed to investigate the matter, and as soon
as the quaekers were corralled, the old
man explained:
“Ye see,” said he, “when I wus up
here to Milledgeville last session, turkeys
wus awful scarce, so L decided to bring
some on speeyla f ion this trip. I bought
a whole passel, aud when I got as fur as
the Ocmulgee that rascally ferryman
wanted to charge me ferryage. So I jest
tuck ’em right back to my settlement
and swappeij ’em off for geese, so that I
could git even with that ferryman. He
was obliged to put me over free, and I
jest made the geese swim it. I hain’t
agoin’ to let ’em swindle me a6 long as I
can help it.”
HOW ADVERTISING PAYS.
Detroit Free Press.]
A woman about forty years old, hav
ing A peculiar glint in her eye and, a
fighting jaw, came into the counting
room of the Free Press yesterday and
brusquely said : “I want to stop an ad
vertisement.” “Yes’m; which one is
it?” “It’son the sixth page and reads
that fifty good-looking girls are wanted
to canvass for orders for a fast-selling
article.” “Yes’m ; get all the girls you
wanted?” “Oh, it was my husband
who put it in, and he got more’n he
wanted I guess. 1 went into his office
yesterday afternoon and found sixteeu of
them there at once, aud when l got
through with the crowd there was just a
barrel ot hair-pins, hats, paper cufts and
paper rags. If you ever want any testi
mony as to how advertising pays just
call on me for a certificate.”
A prison visitor opened a cell door at
Moyamensing, l’a., the other day. and
was accosted by an inmate with : “Can’t
you give me a Presbyterian newspaper?”
“I’ll get you one,” was the repiy; “but
are you a Presbyterian?” “Well,” an
swered the jail bird, “I am a sort of
Presbyterian.”
