Reflations Denouncing the Course of Spun Introduced by Mason- Senator Mason, of Illinois, has pre sented tbe following resolution: "Resolved, That the president of the United Slates be and be is hereby re quested to notify Spain and the insur gents of Cuba that tbe war (so called) must at once cease and be discontinu ed and that tbe United States of Amer ica hereby declare and will maintain peace on tbe island of Cuba.” Tbe resolution of Mason was preced ed by tbe following preamble: “Whereas tbe war between Spain and the insurgeants of Cuba has con tinued until all christendom is shocked by its barbarities. Pretended autono my has been! offered by Spain and refused by the Cubans in arms. The Spaniards as a war measure, burned their homes and drove their women and children (since known as concens tradoes) into the fortified towns where some have been starved, others mur dered and women and children de bauched and treated beyond the power of language to describe. “The daughters of insurgent soldiers have been sold into houses of infamy and boys of tender years have been shot as spies tinder the form of civiliz ed war. “American citizens have been driven into the towns and refused the oppor tunity to work, and left to starve, as a part of the Spanish war measure, until we were compelled to take from the people of the United States large sums of money to feed and clothe our citi zens and to return them to our coun try. “And now has the Spanish war measure against the concentradoes continued so far that tbe concentra does are unfed and starving, naked and filthy in so much that disease and death is among them and has spread into our country. “Hundreds and thousands have per ished in this way and by this means the unholy work of extermination goes on. ' The slaughter of the innocents and non-combatants goes on. The flag of truce has been abandoned, and tbe ex termination or the independence of the insurgents must be the final out come. “Under the present charity seeking of tbe administration charitably dis posed citizens of the United States can not contribute money, medicine and food or clothing to the insurgent ip the field or the hospital and should any attempt be made to do sb it would be captured and prevented by order of tbe government of the United States.” Cooper to Ask Clemency. - Douglass Cooper, tried last week in LaGrange on the charge of murder, found guilty of involuntary man slaughter in tbe killing of Claud Dun eon and sentenced to serve twelve months in the chaingang, will ask ex ecutive clemency at tbe hands of tbe prison commission.. He is now in the Fulton county convict camps, having been leased for $24 during his term of sentence. In view of the fact that at his first trial be was found guilty and sentenced to serve a term of ten years in the pen itentiary service of the state, his sen tence of twelve months would look like he would have been satisfied with the resalt. But be is not, and now wants the prison commission to cut down this sentence A Sad Demise- Yesterday morning about 9 o'clock Mr. Charles G Driver died at bis home, corner of Poplar ind Sixth streets, after a lingering disease of sev era I months. Mr. Driver was born and reared in Pike county where he has scores of friends who admired him io life and will sympathize with his widow and children over their sad and irreparable loss. He left a devoted wife and seven children who alone can know and feel their loss and helpless condition The remains will be carried to Zeb ulon thia morning where they will be buriel al 11 o'clock.

One that has recently been promulgated is well calculated to draw young men like a loadstone draws iron filings. It is to tbe general effect that kisses are freely on tap in the Gate City ; that kissing has become a social fad of the season, and that it is indulg ed in at the swell functions “not under tbe mistletoe, out under the palm,” and often "in full view of the drawing room windows, in tbe full glare of tbe electric lights.” This statement is upon the authority of one whom a special correspondent of the New York Herald calls “one of tbe wealthiest and most prominent of Atlanta’s socie ty leaders.” Backed by such authority, it would be presumptuous to doubt the correctness of the allegation; In deed, the Atlanta Journal prints a part of a letter from the society leader in question, in which she tells of incidents of kissing at swell social gatherings which came under her own observa tion. It may be observed that this matter is an illustration of tbe fact that when science and sentiment run up against each other, science is more than apt to “get it in the neck ” The doctors and tbe other bacillus propagators, have for months been preaching that kissing is a menace to good health ; that tbe labial contact serves to dis tribute germs which are prejudicial to the parties to the salute. Nevertheless, here are these Atlanta belles and beaux who are actually flying into tbe face of science, and tbe faces of each other. Tbe Atlanta society leader who crit icises kissing does not condemn tbe practice as considered in itself. She rather likes tbe idea of kisses exchang ed by young people, under strictly proper circumstances, and when they are expressive of genuine sentiment. Such kisses, she says, have always been and probably always will be given and received ; but what she objects to is the open, above-board, flippant in dulgence in the kiss, and that it has become a fad. “Why, girls, what are you thinking oi?” she asks. The probabilities are that the girls are thinking of kissing ; just kissing. It is said that a certain young lady who was a great favorite with learned men—professors, lawyers, judges and the like —owed her success to tbe fact that she always planned her gowns while they were talking to her. The chances are that tbe Atlanta society girls do not bother their brains with tbe planning of gowns while they are being kissed. “This revival of kissing is periodic, like everything else,” says tfie society leader in question. Os course tbe as sertion has reference to Atlanta. Just when the preceding epidemic broke out and bow long it lasted is not stat ed, nor is the date of tbe beginning of the present one given. It can be be lieved, however, that the social func tions of tbe season will be well attended by young men, at least while the fad is in vogue.—Savannah News. A Good Play.

It was in the rotunda of tbe capital, b where the historical painting are, says i the Criterioo. The guide—an old fel t low, well informed, a trifle crusty, and i easily put out by inattention on tbe t part of his charges—was explaining to j a New York excursion party the paint- I iag which represents Washington tak ing the oath of President. He let r uimself out a little, and was followed ’ with close attention by all the party ; but two, a vivacious young lady and a } young man, evidently much fascinated i by her charms. Tbe young woman was t seated on a bench and the young man : was standing over her. She bad hold L of his hand, and between giggles was • telling him his fortune by the lines of , his palm. The old guide saw the per ; formance, and was incensed that they • failed to be interested by his oration. | “Miss," said he, rather sharply, to i tbe young woman, “do you know what i year it was that Washington took tbe i oath of office?” ■ The young girl blushed and said nothing. The rest of. the party smiled ' at her confusion. A few, who were envious, perhaps, chuckled. “Do you know, sir?” this time’put- ■ ting the question to the girl’s escort. i ‘ No,” responded the young fellow, , “and, what’s more, old chap, I don’t care. I’m much more interested in learning about my own future than I am about Washington’s past.” ' • • a Lemons as Medicine.

He said : “A nod of tbe bead is a recognition of tbe passer by ; a shake of tbe band is a courtesy between friends; but when it comes to a kiss, then we bad better stop and ask some questions. First, who is it that wants a kiss, and what is he going to do with it after be gets it? What will follow this kiss, or these kieses? Really first-class gentle men and really first-class ladies don’t do much kissing before they ore mar ried, in my judgment. The second class can do pretty much as they please anyhow. “I don’t want anybody kissing my aister, and as a gentleman I am not going to kiss anybody else's sister, for no gentleman will treat another man’s sister or wife or daughter differently from what he would ask for his own sister or wife or daughter. “When kissing comes in 'crazes’ it becomes dangerous, and I have known of some instances where it imparted contagion. A young lady’s lips ought to be as sacred as her character. Touch not, taste not, ought to be the motto of every pure girl. There are too many wrecked homes already and too many characterless dudes. “Modesty and purity are the two pillars that uphold woman's character. You knock either of these pillars out from under her character and down she goes, and after the devil gets a wo man down and puts his foot on her neck once, she never gets up any more. “Our girls devote too much time to beauty of the face and fashion of dress. But after all beauty of character is tbe thing, for by and. by the roses will fade from the cheeks and the future wl! fade from the eyes, but a beauti ful character upheld by the pillars of modesty and purity will shine on when tbe stars have grown dim and while the dateless calendar of tbe fu ture is wearing away.” There is more Catarrh in this section of the country than all the other diseases put together, and until the last few years was supposed to be incurable. For a great many years doctors pronounced it a local disease, and prescribed local remedies, and by constantly failing to cure with local treatment, pronounced it incurable. Science has proven catarrh to be a consti tutional disease, and therefore requires constitutional treatment. Hall’s Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J. Cheney & Co.. Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitu tional cure on the market, jit is taken in ternally in doses from 10 drops to a tea spoonful. It acts directly on the blood and mucous surfaces of the system.
