THIRD GEORGIA GETS OFF. Regiment Sails For Neu vitas, Cuba, ou the Koumania. Savannah, Jan. 14.— The Third Geor gia regiment, Colonel Robert L. Berner commanding, sailed today on the trans port Roumauia for Neuvitas, Cuba. A large crowd was on hand to see the men off. This is the first Georgia regiment to leave the soil of the United States to do duty. The men do not like to leave Savannah. It is true that a few of them are anxious to go to Cuba, but the majority would prefer to stay at home. The men have had bad weather to con tend with during the past few days and not a few of the boys complain of colds. There is a report among the officers of the regiment that Colonel Berner will resign after being in Cuba a month or so and return to the states. If he should resign he will be succeeded by Lieuten ant Colonel Spence. Dropsy ( heats (he Gallows. Greenville, S. C., Jan. 14. —James Williams, under death sentence for the murder of Charles P. Potts last August, has just died at the county jail. He had been ill with dropsy since his trial in November. His death was sudden and unexpected. Williams frequently said long confinement would kill him. He expected anew trial by order of the supreme court and was confident of final acquittal. Williams was 39 years old and unmarried. He has been in business here 15 years. In 1891 he killed Major Dixie Williams, but was acquitted. Attacked Woman and Babe. Atlanta, Jan. 14.—Aleck Cohen, an umbrella mender, stabbed A. Smullian, clerk in a Decatur street clothing store, seriously injuring him, and then drove his knife blade twice into the neck of Smullian’s sister, Mrs. S Harris, in flicting probably fatal wounds. Mrs. Harris had her infant babe in her arms at the time and the child was also in jured. The woman’s husband arrived on the scene in time to subdue the would-be murderer. He was also badly used up. Cohen was jailed. He is be lieved to be insane. Governor Names Trustees. Montgomery, Ala., Jan. 14. An nouncement has been made of the gov ernor’s appointment of the board of trustees for the Alabama Bryce Insane hospital at Tuscaloosa. Dr. W. G. Som erville and Hon. R. T. Simpson are re appointed and Colonel Sam Will John is named to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Dr. Young. The board’s official term will expire on Jan. 3, 1902. Negroes Fire Upon Whites. Forsyth, Ga , Jan. 14.—Near Union ville, in this county, a gang of armed negroes made an attack on three white citizens —Bob Head, Woody Edwards and Sam Mackey. Edwards and Sam Mackey wore shot in the back. Head was more fortunate, and was not wounded. The condition of those who were wounded is said to be serious. Several arrests have been made. How to Have Healthy Skin. The objection to the use cf wool next to the skin is that in many cases it ex cites the skin to an excessive degree of activity, producing moisture, which is absorbed and retained by the woolen fabric, which, thus moistened, acts as a sort of poultice and relaxee and debili tates the skin. Linen absorbs the mois ture at once and passes it on to the outer garments, from which it is evaporated. Woolen underclothing, in other words, causes abnormal activity of the skin, thus becoming moist and remaining moist, whereas linen garments do not thus excite the skin, and if moistened by perspiration quickly dry, thus avoid ing both undue excitement and undue exposure.—New York Voice. A Two Stuten Man. The Hon. John J. Upchurch lives on the boundary line between Florida and Georgia. He is a wealthy mill man, and so popular on both sides of the line that be alternates his public services as a legislator between the two states. He represents Charlton county, Ga., in the lower house of the legislature at the present session. He was a member of the Florida senate at that body’s last session. Before that he was sent to the lower house of the Georgia assembly, and further back was in the Florida house and Georgia senate in alternate sessions.—Florida Times-Union and Citizen. MUNICIPAL SOCIALISM. Example* of the CliaiiKea That Are Taking Place In Great Britain. James Boyle, United States consul at Liverpool, in a recent report discuss ing the subject of “Electric Street Rail roads In England,” says: Heretofore the cities of Great Britain have been among the most backward of any cities of the leading nations of the world in the matter of street railroads. A great ohange is taking place, how ever. There has recently appeared in London a trade journal devoted to street railroads and kindred subjects. Under takings are in progress in the principal cities of the kingdom for the establish ment of the most improved systems. In a large number of cases these enter prises are a feature of a remarkable movement which has been quietly but irresistibly getting control of the gov ernment of the chief cities and may be described as “municipal socialism”— that is, the ownership and operation by the municipality of certain enterprises which by their very nature must neces sarily be more or less monopolistic, such as street railroads, electric and gas light ing plants, the water supply and tele phones. In some instances, however, this municipal socialism extends beyond this classification. In several cities in Great Britain the municipal corpora tions build dwellings for workingmen and even run hotels, in others they erect and operate magnificent mineral and Turkish baths. In this connection the following ex tract from the Liverpool Daily Post is of interest: “Lord Rosebery once described the work of the London county council as the greatest experiment in practical so cialism that the world had seen. Peo ple who dislike socialism, especially so cialism of the practical kind, will be very angry with the decision arrived at by the county council today to throw part of the rent —or what ought to be the rent —of some new working class dwellings (municipal) on the rates (lo cal taxes). The justification for this step seems to be that suitable houses cannot be erected in place of those that are about to be removed, unless higher rents are charged, and that to charge higher rents would be a hardship on the displaced tenants. Consequently the general ratepayer is to be called upon to disburse the balance between the old rent and the new.” In Liverpool the city government buys property condemned as unsanitary and erects thereon model dwellings for workingmen. It has established the finest system of public salt and fresh water baths, both for swimming and ordinary tub batbs, of any city in Great Britain, some of them being free, and recently the city has taken possession of the electric light plant (but not the gaslight) and the entire street railroad system. In the neighboring town of St. Helens, the center of the English chem ical trade, the municipal corporation is to lay the tracks, furnish the cars and equip the routes 'with overhead trolleys and supply electric motive power, but will lease the entire system to a com pany, who will be allowed to charge only certain fixed fares. A few days ago the first electric street car in Liverpool was started. The line is experimental. It is 2% miles in length and has a double track. Each motor car has a trailer, the latter being a smoking car. Tho fare is a penny (2 cents) for the trailer and twopence (4 cents) for the motor car. The cars are to befitted with airbrakes. In Liverpool, as in most of the other cities referred to, it is intended to use electricity as the mo tive power for the street cars, although there are those who insist that gas or oil motors are preferable. Another Strange Thing-. It is strange that papers and politi cians who pretend to believe that our government is not competent to success fully own and operate railroads at home deem it competent to construct and operate the Nicaragua canal. Tho only reason for this is the fact that tho moneyed iutersts of this country are more directly oouoerned in operating the railroads and robbing the people; hence influence the politicians and the press in their interest. The money re quired in construoting the Nicaragua canal vvould construct and equip a dou ble tiack railroad from the Pacific to the Atlantic, which, if run by the gov- eminent in the interest of the people, would be many times over more advan tageous to the people than would the canal if it could be constructed for the sum contended and would be all its promoters claim for it, which is very doubtful.—Tulare (Gal.) News. Brown cloth gowns seem to have gained favor lato in the season, and the special fancy for trimming is a mixture of orange and blue. Violet cloth, em broidered in white moire applique with black and steel, is also very pretty with brown and the usual accessories of cream lace. Mousseline desoie skirts with shirred ruffles put on in the form of a tunic and worn with a gnipure coat made long at the back to meet the ruffles, are one of the variations in evening dress. Incrnstations of silk of the color of the skirt set in here and there all over the coat give a very novel effect. —Ex- change. How to Mark* Veal lamdwlclte*. Mince one cup of odd boiled veal quite fine, sprinkle with a saltspoouful of salt and two tablespoonfuls of olive oil or melted butter. Take a loaf of bread one or two days old. Carefully trim off the crust. Set tbeloaf on one small end and cut into long, thin slices lengthwise of the loaf. Butter them and spread with the veal. Roll up like jelly roll cake and slice into thin round elices. Spread a fringed napkin on a plate, lay the small “rolls” in neat piles and set on the ice until serving time. How to Cook I’lniu Porridge. Old fashioned plum porridge may be made either of wheat flour or Indian meal. When it is made of the meal, it will take a longer time to prepare, as it requires at least two hours to cook thor oughly. When the porridge is done, add the stewed plums. Prunes or rai sins can also be used. Stir the fruit in slowly to prevent it breaking aud serve with sugar and cream. How to Make Chrntnnt Soup. Peel aud scrape the nuts, boil them in water with salt and popper to taste till quite soft. Strain them, and when the moisture has dried off press them through a sieve. Put the puree into a saucepan containing a large sliced onion previously browned in butter or cotto lene till tender. Add the necessary amount of water, remembering that the mixture when finished must not be too thick, aud serve with toast fried crisp in cottolene aud cut in dice. If desired, part stock and part water can be used. How to Select Cubbagea. Cabbages are somewhat similar to lettuce in their form of growth. A good head is indicated by abundant leaves, long and curved over the center. If the leaves are meager, there is trouble at the heart. How to Make China Cement. A durable cement is made by burning oyster shells and pulverizing the lime from them very fine, then mixing with the white of an egg to a thick paste and applying to china or glass and securing the pieces together until dry. When dry, it will take a long soaking for it to become soft again. Common lime will also do, but is not as good. Either should be freshly burned and only mix ed when needed, as when once dry it cannot be softened. How to Grill Salt Pork. Cut 10 or 12 very thin slices of nice ly streaked side pork. Toast over a hot fire, dipping frequently into cold water. When well cocked, set in the oven for two or three minutes and serve very hot. How to Carry Beef. Put two tablespoonfnls of butter in a frying pan. Add one sliced onion and stir until the onion is golden brown. Add a teaspoonful of curry and a table spoonful of flour. Mix, add a half pint of stock and one pint of cold cooked beef chopped fine. When smoking hot, add a tablespoonful of salt, a tahlespoonful of lemon juice and serve in a border of rice. Hotv to Fricassee Dried Beef. Half a pound of dried beef, chipped fine. Scald it for ten minutes, drain and press dry. Put two tablespoonfuls of butter into a saucepan and when hot put in the beef. Stir and cook for three minutes. Then sprinkle over two table spoonfuls of flour, mix and add one pint of milk. Stir until boiling. Add one dash of pepper and stand it over hot water until serving time. Then at the last moment make it hot, take from the fire and quickly stir in the yolks of two eggs. How to Make Hominy Drop Cakes. Heat in a farina kettle one pint of boiled hominy, broken into grains as lightly as possible with a fork. Beat two eggs separately and stir the yolks into the hominy with one tablespoonful of water and one-half teaspoonful of salt; then add the whites. Drop in ta blespooufuls on buttered tins and bake to a good brown in a quick oven. Tlie Last Trust. We are organizing the Colorado Sun shine and Fresh Air trust (limited). We want the people to buy the stock. We guarantee the stock will be worth par just as soon as wo can purchase the incoming legislature to pass a bill giv ing our company the exclusive use of sunshine and fresh air, as legislatures In the past have granted like honors to people who wished to fenoe in the whole earth and own all the water. When our company is on its feet and everybody is wearing a meter, all that we will have to do will be to go around and put our hands in everybody’s pockets and takoout our toll according to meter records. There is money in it. First come, first served. —George’s Weekly. Supported by Labor. According to the French Review of Reviews the standing armies of tho whole world, permanently under arms, number 5,250,01)0. In wartimes there can bo mustered 44,250,000. The per capita tax for military purposes is 0 francs in Russia, 9 in Italy, 10 in Aus tria, 18 in Germany and 18 in France. Every fifth male adult is a soldier in Europe. And these parasites, represent ing wasted labor power, are maintained by the working class for the benefit of capitalism.—Cleveland Citiaen.
