War Department Will Call for the
Gans and Equipments.
The arms of the Georgia militia will
within • bio week, be taken from them
and the companiea will be ineffective
for any kind of defense. Orders sent
out from the war department Indicate
that this will de dvre for the purpose
of srmiog the Georgia quota in the
United States volunteers.
Tbe officers of the mililia do not
know what effect this will have on tbe
companies, but many believe that it
will causa the disbandment of tbe
regiments and ihs complete disorgan
ization of Ibe state’s defensive forces.
It will require almost tbe entire lot
of arms and equipments now held by
the militia to furnish the 2,400 sol
diers at Griffin. Many of the arms
are defective and with these thrown
out the remainder will be all tbe
Georgia companies possess
Acting Adjutant General Erwin is
very much worried over the outlook
and has been very energetic to get
arms from tbs United States govern
ment .'or tbe soldiers at Griffin.
Yesterday Governor Atkinson re
ceived a reply from Senator Clay stat*
inglhat be bad secured an engagement
with the secretary and would find out
what could be done this morning.
Il is thought by the authorities that
the conference will be the result of
much good and by some manner tbs
arms of tbe state, contrary to tbe
orders issued some time ago, will be
allowed to remain with them.—Atlanta

NEW YORK LANDLORDS.
Xwt Their Hoose. Remain Vacant While
Demanding High Rentals.
A newcomer who has been looking
for a home nest large enough to accom
modate ont of town furniture remarked
today: “What’S the matter with rents
in this town anyway? I see thousands
of flats and offices tenantless, but as
most of them are beyond my means I’m
curious to know why the landlords
don’t come down a peg or two and give
a poor fellow a chance to locate within
reasonable reach of his business.” And
so are others. A friend of mine up in
Harlem is one of three occupants of a
flat bouse built for ten. The seven apart
ments have been empty a year, but the
agent refuses to lower tbe rent when
any one of the three threatens to change
his address, nor will he scale down tbe
monthly figure in order to fill the va
cant and profitless rooms. And this
isn't a solitary case of this sort, by any
means. Another real estate agent has
been holding a row of fine flats for
nearly three years because nobody feels
like squandering SI,OOO on any one of
them. If he had knocked off S3OO, he
could have rented every one of them.
Just why the metropolitan landlord
prefers loss to gain is one of the secrets
of the real estate business that outsid
ers can only juggle with mentally.
Another peculiar feature of the busi
ness is the way in which the tenants
who can put up a good bluff manage to
enjoy all the comforts of an up to date
homo without paying scarcely anything
for the privilege. I know one man here
who doesn’t pay over S2OO a year for a
S6OO flat. He got behind in his rent,
and then he jollied the janitor, who did
the collecting. The janitor, in turn,
smoothed down the landlord, and as a
result the tenant got in deeper and deep
er. Now he pays a month’s rent Onoe
in a while and puts up such a bold front
that he gets a receipt on his promises.
In the same house is another tenant
who pays a month, tut h* shuts up
his apartments for two months every
summer and goes seaward. He flatly re
fuses to pay rent while doing the grand,
and the landlord hasn’t as yet done a
thing to him. Still another high flier
puts up $76 a month for the pick of the
premises. He’s in about four months
now, bnt as yet care hasn’t carved any
wrinkles on his broad brow. All of
which leads to the conclusion that rents
are high here in order to cover losses of
the sort cited.—New York Letter in
Pittsburg Dispatch.
WORKS OF ART.
Belford, Middlebrook & Co., of Chicago,
are publishing weekly a series of beautiful
portfolios, devoted to the AMERICAN
NAV X AND CUBA. The illustrations
are reproductions of photographs, with
introduction and descriptive texts, show
ing all the vessels of our navy, the
MAINE, as she majestically rode the
waves before her destruction, and all of
her officers.
CUBA, THE QUEEN OF THE AN
TILLES, is illustrated in all its phases,
from the captain general’s palace to the
hovels of its starving wretches—shown as
it is today, not as it will appear after
Sampson’s fleet has bombarded it, that
will come later.
We have made exclusive arrangements
with the publishers whereby we will fur
nish our subscribers with these beautiful
portfolios, containing 16 reproductions in
each number, at 10 cents for each series.
The regular subscription price is 50 cents,
and those wishing them, who are not sub
scribers to our paper, can secure them at
that price. And they are well worth 50
cents.
We have samples of these beautiful
works of art and history in our office
which we would be glad to show you and
take your subscription for the entire series
or as many parts as you wish.
